Comment- This is up there with some of my favourite national final songs of this year. I really adore his voice and the song is just so beautiful. The lyrics are heart-breaking, his voice is out of this world and I will have to see if he can make it even better live because if he flops vocally then he is not advancing and Royane will go to the final.

Comment- I'm not a fan of this. The sami doesn't go well with the song and I think many people will compared this to KEiiNO and well we know which one is much better. It just doesn't grab my attention and is certainly a song I'd go to the bathroom when listening. There's nothing special with this song.

Comment- I can't connect with this song (mainly because I don't speak Norweigan, it' rather weak and I didn't feel anything when listening to it. The chorus does pick up and I do find it fun and danceable at times but this is a very weak effort and I don't think they stand a chance in this heat.

Comment- Here's this semi's Emmy, Stina & Raylee. The woman with the really basic cheap song that everyone goes wild for. Who's next? Lisa Vassiliseva. This is trash I'm sorry I can't get into this song. It's better than song number 2 & 3 for it's catchiness but it's absolutely intolerable other than it.
