Eurovision: in preparation for Malmö 2013 (V)

Continuing in the Nordic countries, I will now examine two more choices.

NORWAY AND MARGARET BERGER

I will start to talk about one of the extrem countries in the Eurovision. Norway has the record of more times in last place - including last year when, against all predictions, Tooji finished in 26th place and only qualified for the final thanks to tiebreakers - and more times with null points (4 times). On the other side, Norway holds the record of winning with more points, achieved in 2009 by Alexander Ryback, with a total of 387 points. 
This year Norway is again represented by a female voice. Although the "Melodi Grand Prix 2013" hadn't a very good musical quality, the winning song was by far the best choice possible.
Of the remaining songs that went to the "Golden Final", the song "Bombo" played by Adelene, would be a song that would appeal more to the public vote. However Adelene failed to match the music and had some vocal problems. The song "I feed my Love You" is an interesting proposal, a rhythm of its own, between ballad and pop.
Margaret has a good vocal apparatus and manages to convey the message of the song. The rest of the elements on the stage from the lights to the drummer, contributed much to convey the message of the song. I think that this year Norway will not have problems to achieve the final.
From the countries that usually give more points to Norway, will vote on the same semifinal Iceland, Finland and Latvia.
But I think that both the juries and the public will enjoy this song, so there will not be big problems for Norway.


FINLAND AND KRISTA SIEGFRIDS

I will now talk about another country of extrems in Eurovision. Finland only won one time, in 2006 with the first heavy metal song to win the contest, with the 3rd biggest victory (exceeded only by the neighbors - Norway and Sweden -) and also was one of the most unsuccessful countries in the contest.
This year this nordic country brings us a very comic song with a good rythm. This year the finish final had a set of interesting songs. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked had a better voice quality and proposals much more interesting both from the point of view of music, as from the point of view of performance on stage. But for me the best were the 3rd and 4th ranked. The first will appeal more to the juries and the other to the public.
But, there was a song that won both the vote of the public and the public. Krista has a carisma of its own and a comic performance on stage that is perfectly adequated do the song and a carisma that stood out from all competition. Also managed to convey a positive energy to the spectators.
Unfortunately this will not be enough to appease juries. Nor do I believe that it will be a great success among the eurovision public.
From the countries that usually give more points to Finland will vote in the same semifinal only Iceland and Norway. 
The finish sucess will depend on the performance on stage because the Krista's voice is already acceptable.



Goog luck to both countries!
