It is time for the Second heat of MGP. I was sad that Jorn was eliminated, but at least Blasemafian won against Stina. It was a good watch, and I got to see KEiiNO perform live again. This week 4 more songs will compete and I will review each of them! Let's get into this.
1. 馃嚦馃嚧 Daniel Owen - "Psycho"
Structure- 7
Dynamics- 6
Contrast- 6
Overall Effect- 7
Score- 26
Comment- At the beginning, I feel like I'm in a mental institute? But to be honest I do like the start of the song. Then it kicks in, I really enjoyed the simplicity of the song and it was massively catchy, he reminds me of a better version of Charlie Puth. This is my favourite of this heat but out of the entire MGP, hell no.
2. 馃嚦馃嚧 Ketil Stokkan - "My Life Is OK"
Structure- 3
Dynamics- 1
Contrast- 3
Overall Effect- 2
Score- 9 (I think thats even a bit generous)
Comment- It's alright until 00:17 then instantly I want to skip. This is massively boring and it's just a repetitive loop for 3 minutes. This has it's age range but I can't sit through this for no longer than two minutes. The lyrics are all over the place aswell, 'Some say that my lyrics are sad' yes I would agree.
3. 馃嚦馃嚧 Maria Solheim - "Nordlyset"
Structure- 3
Dynamics- 4
Contrast- 5
Overall Effect- 2
Score- 14
Comment- This is a song that I'll only listen to if I'm depressed and want more of a reason to kill myself.
4. 馃嚦馃嚧 Raylee - "Hero"
Structure- 7
Dynamics- 7
Contrast- 6
Overall Effect- 7
Score- 27
Comment- This song is growing on me. At first I was very disappointed of this and understood why they left Raylee out of getting a AQ spot (though it is better than TIX), but after 3 or 4 listens I am starting to like it. I am excited to watch her on the stage because I think this song can really elevate live and the song is incredibly catchy and stays in my head for ages. Not better than Wild, but the best from this heat for sure.
My Rankings
1. 馃嚦馃嚧 Raylee - "Hero" 8

3. 馃嚦馃嚧 Maria Solheim - "Nordlyset" 2.5
4. 馃嚦馃嚧 Ketil Stokkan - "My Life Is OK" 2
