Eurovision Song Review: Norway
Country: Norway
History...
Debut: 1960
Previous Appearances: 51
Wins: 3 (1985 – Bobbysocks 'La Det Swinge', 1995 - Secret Garden 'Nocturine', 2009 - Alexander Rybak 'Fairytale')
2013...
Artist: Margaret Berger
Song: I Feed You My Love
I can understand why this is a favourite. It is a stand out single. It is different enough from anything else to win.
Though the lyrics are a bit 'what tha...?' and her engrish doesn't start off great, This song could damn well go all the way. There is competition for first place this year, real competition.
The only thing going against this is that it doesn't have a violin. The last two songs Norway sent to Eurovision prominently featured a violin and their only other win was back in the days of the orchestra so it had a violin by default. Can Norway win without a violin? we will soon see.
This style of music isn't strictly new, not ever for Eurovision, but then Intet er nytt under solen
