Nope, that is what he on PierresSchlager says anyhow. According to him they have taken it away for this year.
But an secret jury will chose one to be in the final, of all the fifteen that have been excluded.

Tooji - Stay is the best! ;) Not sure how good he is in live, but we will find it out soon.

Of all 24 songs I prefer "High On Love", it has a catchy tune and she has a great voice. The song by Irresistible is okay but not for Eurovision.

**Samuel** Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:48 pm

I also thinks "high on love" can be a good song to have in eurovision!

Tonight the last heat is broadcasted!

**Gerly** Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:01 pm

Can't wait to see Tooji performance. I hope he can sing in live. I hope someone will upload the videos later on youtube, because unfortunately can't watch Norway SF today.

I am not sure but my guess is that the show will come up online as replay on the NRK-site.
But that is only my guess.

**Samuel** Sun Feb 05, 2012 5:27 am

6. Malin - Crush

**Gerly** Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:09 pm

My Top 3.
1st - Tooji "Stay" ( I loved the performance, I love the song...everything is perfect!)
2nd - Nora Foss Al-Jabri "Somewhere beautiful" (This is sooooooo beautiful)
3rd - Yaseen & Julie Maria "Sammen"

**Samuel** Sat Feb 11, 2012 9:06 pm

Gerly must be happy now. "Tooji" won the contest and will be in the eurovision final for Norway!

**jantzen** Sun Feb 12, 2012 8:43 am

I would have liked "High On Love" to win dislike

**Tiago** Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:03 am

I like the song but some of his dance moves scare me lol!

**Gerly** Sun Feb 12, 2012 5:35 pm

I'm just so so happy Very Happy

Those results were so exciting, but in the end it was clear that Tooji is the winner. I'm glad Norway is with Estonia in same semifinal.
I just hope I wont listen it too much, but I can't stop it playing in repeat. Very Happy

I listened to it now and High On Love sounds pretty good. Maybe it would have win instead. Do anyone know what the results was except the winner? Razz

zore_riot wrote:I like the song but some of his dance moves scare me

There are some dance moves that are wierd, yes. :-D

Heh, I wonder if it will go well in eurovision. I think it will be in the middle in the final. smile

**Jessica** Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:26 pm

Finally a great song cheers

Maybe that. Razz

Zore_riot - in this video also the choreographers talks about the dancing, maybe something you should watch then if you was scared by the dancing. lol!

**Jessica** Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:20 am

I was listening to the song all afternoon yesterday and only in the end of the day i realise that i was singing live and not playback lol!

**Samuel** Tue Feb 14, 2012 1:41 am

What do you mean? lol!

i saw the performance on MGP and i was listening to it all afternoon and i thought it was playback

**Samuel** Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:57 am

Ok!

It's better that way instead of thinking "This is live" and then it's not. Razz

**Tedy** Thu May 17, 2012 12:06 am

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 12:09 am

I can't stop thinking of Eric Saade when I hear him. Razz

**Jessica** Sun May 27, 2012 9:23 pm

How the hell was Norway last?? How??
It was by far his best perfomence. His voice was perfect and everyone liked it before ESC. What happen? This was by far the most unfair result of the night. I still can't believe it!

**Samuel** Sun May 27, 2012 9:56 pm

It was a little unexpected that he came last, I think. But I didn't think he would end up high. I think the song wasn't that good. It felt like Eric Saade 2011 for Sweden, but not as "good" (define good here as you want yourself.)
