So Norway held its first Semi Final last week, and its gotten bigger and better.

First up was Surferosa - U Look Good. Think Cyndi Lauper mixed with Pink.

Next followed two housewifes or Chicas del coro from the 50's all dressed up doing a nice karaoke number. High entertainment value for a national final.

Right after the welcome return of the wind machine and an elderly lady with high notes followed by some shouty rap by two youngsters Ke Sera. Nice intro but that's all there was for me I'm afraid....

Espen Hana, a certain kind of gentleman - the kind stuck in the 70's with challenging sideburns and open shirt to show some chest hair - followed with a song so familiar I thought it was an interval act.

Next to more Eurovision friendly stuff: Charite. And as the song isn't much to talk about. One question rises: what was she wearing as shoes??? And that wardrobe was a disaster in general?

Thomas Brøndbo was next with a song that was as bland as his choice of color. Like a storm? Hardly....

To finish off it was the Norwegian Pussycat Dolls or Spice Girls also known as Velvet with a song that wasn't tricky at all but very catchy and very Britney Spears in a good way. I think I like it...

And the winners of the first Semifinal are... Surferosa and Espen Hana to the second chance round and Velvet to the final! Yes! And the other one is Thomas Brøndbo !!?? Oh dear...

#1 Wenche Myhre - Alt har en mening nå

Sounds "good" enough for Louislestat [;-)]

#2 Publiners - Te Stein
Pretty bleh

#3 Tine Wulff - Ride

At this stage I'm beginning to think that all the talent was in the first semi final.

#4 Alexander Stenerud - Find my girl

See above.

#5 Janni Santillan - Like you did (yesterday)

A nice litle song, but thats it.

#6 Julius Winger: Like An Angel

Reminds me of the 80's in a bad way.

#7 Tone Damli Aaberge - Butterflies

Its good, not amazing but good :) I still prefer Tricky from last week. However this is by far the best song from the second bunch. I have an odd feeling it should be German [:-?]?

Tone Damli Aaberge with Butterflies and Alexander Stenerud with Find my girl qualified directly to the final in Norway. Alexander reached second chance round last year with his band Zuma. Publiners' Te stein and Janni Santillan's (Like you did) yesterday will have a second chance. Eurovision dinosaur Wenche Myhre didn't make it any further....

Norway: Semifinal 3 results

(sorry this semifinal is two weeks old :) )

More predictable results in Norway. Both my favourites qualified for the final, namely Alexander Rybak with Fairytale and Ovi with Seven seconds. Carrie with Sunny and Jane Helen (weird weird all female rock/grunge band) with Shuffle proceeded to the second chance round.
