"Talking about us" has a chorus that goes straight into your ear and refuses to let go! 🎶🎶
Wild is reminding me of Michela’s Chameleon cross with Fuego
With a bit of Replay by Tamta.
And the coo coo coo doo of Toy
and "Our Choice" by Ari Olafsson
😂
And Jurijus Lithuania
Still love Raylee’s song from when she last entered the nf❤️ Wild is a bop
Just realized this is my 7th year following wiwibloggs. That’s crazy
For me it is 5 I think :D
Andrew Daly Love hearing that! Thanks for sticking around 🙏🏻❤️
Absolutely love all the 4 songs♥️🇧🇻If I have to choose I will take Geirmund to the final💪🏻🔝
Agreed, Geirmund is the best out of these 4.

Wooo first William and Deban reaction of the season😍
Wild has has HAS to go to the final! If Raylee can sing this live, she's gonna go far!
Jack Rippon can’t wait to hear it live!
The staging for Wild has to be good! I’m intrigued to see it
Wild and Talking About Us are the best. Wild is banger and Talking About Us is a cute dance song
Yay a reaction video! I hope to see more this Eurovision season!
I agree with Deban talking about us is my fav ❤
yes. I agree also. vote for Talking About Us.
Same
How have you been boy ?
That Iveta reference got me. :D
Wow these songs are absolutely amazing.
Will have to wait for the live versions but Norway knows how to do staging!
Quality from Norway as ever....always my favourite national selection contest......no shade on the other 3 contenders but my favourite here by far is the song by Geirmund......this deserves a place in the final!!
Best of luck from Ireland🇮🇪
vote for Lisa instead.
I agree, Geirmund is by far the best.
A.M. Rifki A. 3rd no
I agree. Raylee can go next year. I love Imagine Dragons-esque songs since Walking Out was my favorite in 2019 and it also reminded me of Imagine Dragons.
100% agree
jesus, my dog always freaks out when she hears your reaction guys ...
🤣
Thank you for such an uplifting review with the two of you - and I cannot WAIT for you to hear this weekend's Rein Alexanders entry in the second semifinal! 😍
Lisa: ...they talking about us.....
William and Deban: YyYyYyYyyyAaAaaaaaaAaAaAaaaaAaAaAaAaAaAaAaSSSsSsSsSsSsSsS
Loving your Wild love!
It gets better every time I hear it.
This made my day! Thank you guys! 🙏😅 Geirmund
Come Alive is my fave! Wild is good too.
ESC FanForever Come alive and get wild under the rainbow!
and while doing this, please talk about us :)
I love you guys so much!! Thank you for another Great video! Hopefully you will react to all the semis of MGP this year
Norwayyyy so much Qualityyyy got my vote in 2019 big change they get it again in 2020.
Wild is soooo good! Love it! Thank you for always making Eurovision fun and exciting for us all. Your videos make me smile so much. Love you guys. So excited for Eurovision. Can we watch the Norway semi final online here in uk
Love you guys
What did you guys think of Sondrey’s song? Did you film a reaction to that?
When do you react eesti laul?
I agree with Deban😁
Wild is nothing more than a lot of noise for nothing ....
Ikr. That's why either Rainbow or Come Alive should go to the final.
if you're gonna translate "stjernekamp" to english, it wouldn't be "starcamp" but "starfight" hehe. By the way, we are strong and gonna do well again
Wild is the best!❤️❤️❤️❤️
When Eesti Laul 2020 reaction video coming ?😁
Katezi It might be nearer the time
Come Alive all the way!
I agree
Is it just me or Talking About Us radiates off some Jamais Sans Toi vibes for me?
When comes Eesti Laul 2020 reaction video?
How many songs from each semi will advance to the final?
1 song, but in fact the semi finals contain 5 songs each, but one song fron each semi final are already qualified for the big final in Trondheim, by a jury. Some of the artists are well known from previous ESC and MGP:
The brothers Didrik and Emil Sollie - Tangen (Didrik from ESC 2010 and Emil from MGP 2013, together with Gromth)
Ulrikke from MGP 2017 (places)
Tone Damli (Aaberge) from 2009.
And 2 more artists.
@@lindakristinekjlibraten757 Ahh so there are prefinalists also
@@garrow6 Yes. And I think they will perform their song in the show. One each semi final. It's the 5 different parts of Norway, the Southern part now, continuing with the Eastern and then the Mid and Western (not sure who's first) and the Northern at the end (8th of February).
In Trondheim there will be 10 finalists.
@@lindakristinekjlibraten757 the semifinals have only 4 songs. The 5 prequalified songs are just being presented 1 at a time in each of the semifinals. I have a feeling that the reason why they are prequalified is that they are actually bigger names as well as mostly written by Norwegian and not Swedish writers... As to secure some Norwegian composed songs in the final as well.. I wouldn't be surprised to see even more songs by Laurell Barker and the swedes in the next 4 semifinals as well you see.
@@ZironixNO Yes I know there are 4 songs, but 5 were submitted to each of the semi finals. One song is already chosen by the juries, and the public will decide one of the remaining songs.
I have no idea why they have chosen those artists, but yes the ones I mentioned here are more well known then the other artists. On the other hand, we don't know the remaining artists from the rest of the semi finals. So it's just left to see who they are.
The song writers? I have no idea exept from Ulrikke's song written by Christian Ingebrigtsen and Kjetil Mørland.
Why William and deban keep saying YANNI when Wild plays ? :P
I usually enjoy the songs from MGP, but this year they are *amazing*, hope Norway gets a good place in Rotterdam
They say Paris is Burning now, Oslo is melting as this years MGP is on fire!
Laurell Barker and Wild is perfection. This is proof that the songwriters weren't the reason for the UK's dismal results, it's them not taking it seriously and not putting the appropriate resources in place.
Please make a vid on the UK, please
How many songs qualify??
only one
The song “wild” is a copy of fuego, if that song wins, Norway will have trouble when they get to Eurovision.
Wild
When I first heard it I actually thought of Replay by Tamta
Come alive is the best quality song for me
The first 2 were the best.
Scandipop described rainbow like Rasmussen meets James Bond. That and Wild are clearly the best 2 songs from this heat. I think i prefer Wild but both very good.
Come Alive is better...
COME ALIVE THE BEST ONE
Lisa Børud sounds like Malou Prytz
I know people say it's dated but Rainbow is my favourite
I like Rainbow 😍🌈
Wild is my favorite💖
Yes, Kim Rysstad was a participant in this year's Stjernekamp ("star battle") and did a great interpretation of "Rise Like a Phoenix" in the Melodi Grand Prix/Eurovision-themed episode. In fact, he came 2nd in that contest. Sondrey (one of the pre-qualifiers) was also a participant this year. Lisa Børud participated in 2017, Raylee in 2014.
For non-Norwegians who don't know what Stjernekamp is about: It's an annual music contest program on NRK where established artists compete in different genres. So basically, each artist has to pick a song to perform of the genre that's scheduled for the episode. There are 3 judges (including 1 "genre expert") who comments on each performance, but it's the viewers at home through televote who decide which artists advance to the next episode where there will be a new genre. The artist with the least amount of votes is eliminated, reducing the number of artists by 1 every week until the final which is a duel between the last two standing. To give you an idea on how tough this competition is: Besides every performance being done live, they only have 1 week to prepare for the assigned genre, and if you're one of the artists making it halfway through the season, you'll now have to do 2 genres a week!
RAYLEE RULES THE 1ST SEMI!
This is all kind of average. Lisa and Talking About Us would be my pick if I must pick, simply because I know her stage presence is fire
Wild reminds me of Replay in the drop
That's why it shouldn't go to Eurovision. Wild doesn't have it's own sound.
@@dogcraftmc8968 wtf
@@dogcraftmc8968 you mean it should go, like how Tamta did with her shitty live performance 😂😂😂
I agree with William- talking about us is great but it’s that pop song that doesn’t change enough so it gets boring at the end.
Wild is good but the live performance wasn’t great, especially the end of the song 😖
Geirmund my favourite ,and he can sing it live perfectly. Gutted he didn’t get thru 🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️
BEGIN COPIED FROM RUSSIAN SINGER MONETOCHKA-NIMFOMANKA.But i love this song💕
My feeling is getting stronger that Eurovisioin 2020 will be a boring year for my taste.
Really? After hearing just 4 songs out if 25 songs in 1 national final?!? Wow....
You know 1(3 entries have been heard in total based on Estonia and Latvia songs ) song , yeah shaj is not great but 38 songs yet to come
@@ZironixNO No, I meant not for this national selection, I have the feeling for the Eurovision 2020, just what I have heard and read so far from the countries that are particitating. I expect there will too much generic pop songs, not enough interesting diversity. It's just my feeling so far.
We legit only have 1 entry confirmed. Chill already.
