Norway 2025: Kyle Alessandro - Lighter (1 Viewer)

This is such a fun selection. I hope they don't go with Mr Bic though.

I expected Tone to come up with some tasteful strummy number so for her to come out swinging on Last Song was a welcome surprise.

I hope Ladybug's staging and live performance lives up to the song.
 
Rough first listen notes:

Hot as Hell in Paradise - would mind this winning at all. I can imagine a good perf and bombastic staging. Song could so with a bit of beefing up.

Human Fire - I don't mind rock at all, but my god Smash into Pieces do this so much better. This is just so NEUTRAL, and I say that as an Intention apologist.

Sulale - well this is doomed. It's giving cheap sets, roapy vocals, and overall being lost on the night. Bland.

Last Song - :disco: the right side of basic

The Game - okay the obligatory viking-y entry. This is Run to the Hills but not as good, and the voice is really quite unpleasant.

Parasite - meh. AI-ish. I guess I bopping but it's forgettable filler

Lighter - as far as pretty boys with a competent vocal and dance breaks go, this isn't bad, but it shouldn't win over what else is on offer. Bit worried there's nothing like this in the running though.

Vagabond - I love a chill vibe :disco: not competitive at all, but I'll appreciate its presence

Joyful - :disco: :disco: :disco: in the days of unapologetic schlager being ever less present, it's so nice to have a little sniff of it. Imagine if Norway accidentally sent them and they have to begrudgingly cancel their All Inclusives in Santorini? I love how it sounds like it's been rush recorded in about 10 mins.

Personal ranking:

1. Joyful
2. Heaven and Hell in Paradise
3. Last Song
4. Vagabond
5. Lighter
6. Human Fire
7. The Game
8. Parasite
9. Sulale

Poor Tone slightly less fancied than Bobbysocks! :bruised:
 
The general suspicion is that the two ones expected to be fighting for the win were the two bigger names who both withdrew shortly prior to the list being announced :bruised: I'd be very happy with Tone but it clearly isn't happening
 
We've waded through DODGY links ahoy where Gate sounded like Mickey Mouse and the whole thing went black but I think we're finally here :disco:

No totty on the presenting team this year :(
