🇳🇴 Gåte must rewrite lyrics to Ulveham
🇳🇴 In #Norway, the frontrunners for their #ESC2024 selection Melodi Grand Prix, Gåte must change the lyrics to their song, as it contains text from a medieval ballad. Do you think the change is justified? Do you think Gåte can still go to #Eurovision?
Melodi Grand Prix frontrunners Gåte have come under fire as their song’s lyrics have been revealed o be taken from a 1,000 year old folk song. What is happening? Gåte, qualified from Heat 2 of Melodi Grand Prix, and are currently the bookies’ favourites to win the competition. Their song, “Ulveham” is based on a traditional norwegian kulokk, a traditional form of music historically used to…

The search for the next Eurovision winner began officially this week, with Moldova holding auditions, Norway kicking off NRK MGP, and Lithuania launching its new process Eurovizija.lt. Georgia announced their artist, and everybody had to issue a press release the week that Mike is home alone 😱

Is Norway's 60/40 Split The Future Of Eurovision?
Is Norway's 60/40 Split The Future Of Eurovision? At Melodi Grand Prix in Norway this year, the public was given 60 per cent of the voting share, whereas international juries made up 40 per cent of the total points distribution. Ben Robertson looks at how this change impacted Norway's result and if Eurovision should learn from what Norway has introduced this year.
Congratulations to Gåte, the Norwegian band who brought their take on a traditional folktale to Melodi Grand Prix, who now have the chance to take it to the whole Eurovision Song Contest. Outside the dancing robots, tender ballads and the insane statistics that all qualifiers were drawn in last three songs in each heat, the thing that caught my attention about Melodi Grand Prix is the voting…

7. ‘Honestly’, by Ulrikke.
Ulrikke sets the scene with a quiet piano supporting her; three minutes later, as the song reaches its crescendo, she’s joined by a legion of backing singers, a full band, and a dash of orchestral notes. ‘Honestly’ is a classic example of telling a story in a song, not just in the rising intensity of words but with the emotions and the music.
It’s one of my favourite musical shapes to listen to.
The power of ‘Honestly’ stands on its own, yet the backstory is an intensely personal one from Ulrikke, touching on loss and friendship, the impact of the pandemic lockdowns, and finding a place in the new world. It’s a personal song shared with the world, and it gets me every time.
More on this and the songs in my yearly favourites can be found at https://tinyurl.com/2023x12.

Halløj Matroser!
Nu hvor det danske MGP er overstået, vil jeg sige hvorfor der ikke har været admiralsposting på det. Admiralen boycuttede i år Dansk Melodi Grand Prix af den årsag, at DR har valgt at støtte Israels tilstedeværelse i Eurovision, at de har udpeget to Israelske statsborgere til den danske jury, og at DR som institution konsekvent ikke har dækket folkemordet i Gaza, eller de demonstrationer der har været imod det i alle større danske byer, som inkluderer nogle af de største demonstrationer i nyere tid.
Man må mene hvad man vil om Israels aktivitet i Palæstina. Jeg mener at staten Israel har ageret som folkemorder og besætterstat, og at det er et symptom på et dybt forkvaklet menneskesyn, hvor nogle mennesker er højerestående end andre. Dette er dybt forkert.
Husk i alt dette kaos at ikke alle jøder er israelere, og at alle de som er, fortsat er mennesker og fortjener at blive behandlet som mennesker. Kæmp for alt hvad du har kær, inklusiv frihed og lighed og ret til liv for alle folk, men opfør dig ordentligt. Her på Bloggen vil vi hverken have islamofobi ELLER antisemitisme.
Der VIL være liveblog under Eurovision. Jeg vil blot forsøge at finde et sted at streame det fra en anden kanal end DR, muligvis NRK eller BBC hvis jeg kan og hvis de opfører sig ordentligt.
Lad Palæstina leve
Admiralen 🇵🇸

Eurovision 2023: #25
Tumblr media
25. NORWAY Alessandra - "Queen of Kings" 5th place
youtube
Decade ranking: 73/166 [Above The Roop, below Mia Dimsic]
TikTok is a scourge on this world.
For those that wondered what a bad non-Noa 2023 result looks like, I present the above. Like yeah sure ITALY is the biggest offender of "Gets Votes Due To Pre-Built Expectations" on average but honestly... Norway's kinda up there too lately. AND ALTHOUGH I'M RANKING HER AHEAD OF MARCO, NORWAY'S RESULT OFFENDS ME WAY MORE. Third in the televote, really? Over Joker Out? Over Monika? Over Brunette? If that is what fan service is supposed to deliver, then the fans of this show are pieces of shit -- April Lewis, me.
Tumblr media
I struggle with verbalizing why Alessandra is so meh to me. I should like this. She's camp, her song's uptempo, she was even decent on the night (after being bad literally every other time she had to perform). WHAT IS MISSING HERE?! WHY IS THIS ENTRY NOT AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED?
Tumblr media
The issue really is that Queen of Kings is kind of boring. When you think about it, it's just a bunch of uptempo nothing carried by dumb lyrics and a basic techno beat. [ed.: you will NEVER be Cecilia] When Alessandra showed up in MGP (which was bad) and unexpectedly beat Ulrikke (who was attempting a Husavík - embarrassing) it was great though, in part BECAUSE she was basic and relied heavily on the live autotune. (lol you forgot MGP had live autotune, didn't you?). To finally have something, anything upbeat in what looked like a pretty meh pool, Norway temporarily gave me a lifeline I could cling to during these dire times of need! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN STOP THE SPREAD OF A WITCH!!! SHE WILL BE THE WARRIOR OF THE NORTHERN SILENT SEAS!!!
Tumblr media
And that is the ONLY reason Alessandra made it as far as she did on my ranking.
But then, things got better. Promise happened. Carpe Diem happened and Cha Cha Cha happened. Gustaph and Vesna, whom I had doubts about at the time improved drastically at the contest. Mimicat and Loreen and Pasha delivered as expected. There weren't many good entries (compared to 2022 and especially 2021), but a few did show themselves. Norway meanwhile, were on their fourth shallow meme entry in a row and enough. Time to try something else girlies. Why couldn't this televote result have gone to Edgar instead? (lol I have harsh words for that one too, but patience, children, first we have smaller fish to fry)
Tumblr media
Ultimately, "Queen of Kings" was vaguely camp Eurovision pulp at its silliest and most scuffed (the fucking NERVE NRK had to try and frame it as a ~Secretly Complex Bisexual Anthem~ like, literally: die), but I find those traits more charming in filler entries nobody has high expectations for (Solo is HERE to stay for a while, and you will deal) and kinda embarrassing in overrated fanfave beasts designed to steal televotes from the plucky underdogs that truly deserved them. But hey, maybe that's just me. 🤷‍♀️
THE RANKING

Eurovision calmed down a bit this week with qualifying heats from Lithuania and Norway plus the semi-final for Estonia's Eesti Laul. Slovenia turned up the drama with Raiven's "Veronika" and Austria announced their artist for Malmö. Be warned: this is the last bit of calm until March...

Eurovision Fact #277:
Tumblr media
Norway's 2022 entry Subwoolfer is the only Eurovision entry where the true identities and faces of the contestants were not publicly revealed during the time of participation.
However, after the conclusion of the contest, UK entry, Sam Ryder, was cited as saying that Ben Adams from British-Norwegian pop band A1 was half of the intergalactic duo. Ryder said that he saw Adams on a buffet line, and he concluded that he must be a member of Subwoolfer. Ryder also said that as he was interacting with the duo while they were in costume, he kept thinking that he knew he was talking to “Ben from A1,” but he didn’t want to let on that he knew.
At Melodi Grand Prix 2023, this was confirmed as Subwolfer performed ‘Give that Wolf a Banana’ which slowly mixed with their song ‘Worst Kept Secret.’ During the performance, they stripped away their yellow gloves, turned backstage, and with the help of some backup dancers, removed their wolf heads. On screen, the names Ben Adams and Gaute Ormåsen flashed as they sang “that’s not my name, is it Ben? Is it Gaute?”

thanks @landoom for the tag!! finally one of these i get to do (i keep getting tagged in wip ones and uhhh i write my fics in one sitting i do not have wips)
Star sign:
libra
Favorite holiday:
i don't really like holidays. i romanticise christmas the most so i'll pick that, but christmas day itself is horrible.
Last meal:
i just cooked a lovely quorn & chickpea curry and had it with some rice for dinner
Currently favorite musician:
i'm a basic white girl, taylor swift. i have been exploring the basic white girl genre though, listening to maisie peters & carly rae jepsen also. side note that it's also eurovision season so my usual music taste is mostly out the window for national selection songs (if you're curious, here's my playlist for my favourite national selection songs)
Last music listened to:
currently playing is my ai by super rob and erika norwich
Last movie watched:
descendants. it was a bop!
Last TV show watched:
technically tv i guess! the nrk mgp artist announcements. give me 20 minutes and it will be mgp semi final 1 :D
Last book/fic finished:
no idea on book, i don't think i've finished one in 2024 yet. last fic was of course the last jet lag fic to be written: restless night
Last book/fic abandoned:
christmas for beginners by carole matthews. it was bad.
Currently reading:
one night in italy by lucy diamond. it is a stretch to say i'm currently reading it though. it's on my bedside table looking at me longingly whenever i doomscroll myself to sleep.
Last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation:
uhhhh i think it was going back to rewatch some of jet lag season 7 to check on adam's disguise in germany
Favorite online fandom memory:
there's so many oh my goodness - i'll go for a recent one though. learning how to edit and adam finding (and really liking) one of the videos i made. he's such a sweetheart.
Tumblr media
Favorite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence:
doctor who. i haven't followed it in a while and keep meaning to get back into it. star wars too, but i'm still too bitter about what disney have done to come back into it.
Favorite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did:
i'm saying jet lag the game, because our fandom is me and like four other people and i want more friends to talk about it with! i need more people to write fics and make beautiful art!!!
Tempting Project You're Trying to Rein In/Don't Have Time For:
*gestures wildly at my whiteboard of fic ideas* a specific one would be a sci-fi jet lag au that i've been brainrotting over for a week or so now. i barely have time for what i'm writing now, i don't have capacity for another au. no matter how cute it would be.
Tagging (feel free to ignore): @autumnwaste @jetlaggedtomz @vroombeams @dontrollthedicesideblog @jackredfieldwasmyjacob
