Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart is Yours
This song is too good to go to Eurovision. From the very first line, it is mesmerising. What a bloody voice, eh! ok the lyrics are a bit weird and stalkerish with 'You say I am the moonlight, I watch you, At night, And when you cannot see me, I’m still there in the sky', ah Those crazy Norwegians, still even dad says 'its not bad, could be better but its not bad'
there is nothing hugely new about this song musically, Ireland could have given us this song more than a decade ago and it is that wanna be credible popera that has been flooding Eurovision for a while now. this kinda drops the 'p' in 'popera'. it is Lloyd-Webber-esque from when Lloyd-Webber wasn't a hack... it is... it is just too good for Eurovision.
Could this win. If it did it would give Norway two consecutive crowns. The crowd on Eurovision night will go absolutely ape-shit for this song, they would anyway regardless of what the home team sends but this is worth going ape-shit over. This is definitely in my op 5, but i think the only thing that could stop it winning is that, well it is too good for Eurovision...
Norways is Eurovisions biggest losers, coming last over all 11 times, 4 of those without getting a single point... nul points... so, I will show some Eurovision winners from Norway instead from 1985 and their first (of three) wins. One half of this great due went on to Eurovision solo over a decade later and only managed second, I guess when was only half as good as 1985 when Bobbysocks won with 'La Det Swinge'
