My mindset has always been to make tops based on full songs and never use just snippets, but since the full songs are only gonna be released in a whole two weeks and this selection was disappointing to say the least then I just wanted to get it done with and forget it exists 😘
@diekommentarekommentiererin oh I didn’t know that that’s completely fair then It would just be unlucky if she competes next year but MGP is super strong again then
As a Norwegian I’m so angry. I get that the final would be weakened by the fact that two artists withdrew, but every single song in there screams NQ. I’m so disappointed.
Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion but I miss when the ESC fandom was a joyful bunch. Every single one of the national selections except maybe… Albania and Estonia (and even they have not been immune) has been received with so much negativity and criticism. Spain, Montenegro, Poland, Finland, Luxembourg… and you can see from space that people will hate on Melfest too. Maybe San Remo can be spared? Like one dude here in the comments already says that Norway won’t qualify. That is just not sensible when we barely know any of the competition. I prefer a MGP with heats tbh. My favorites based on snippets is Tone or Ladybug. But I have a feeling that Wig Wam will win. Hmm. We’ll see.
You are so spot on with everything you said! People are always very quick to judge. Like, we all have our own opinions and first impressions, but let’s not give that more importance than what it actually has in the end
@@escadri4407 Hi I’m that guy, and maybe I was to fast in making a conclusion. Let them first pick a song and then we will talk further about their changes…. 🙃 Edit: still 38 people are agreeing with my opinion.
Well, after Ulveham's undeserved last place this was to be expected. If I had to come up with a word to describe this NF, I'd say flavourless. Everything just lacks distinctiveness. Let's hope for some surprisingly solid live performances because this does not paint a good prospect for a qualification, Norway!
True. They saw that Ulveham flopped and, unfortunatly, went down the Danish road of box-standard bland radio songs, except that these ones are particularily bad
Ikr? The only time MGP's quality is properly low, she isn't there to finally get the win she deserves. She would've absolutely aced the competition at MGP this year... 😭
The 50% was Ulveham instrumental was the best part. Looking like it will Extremely dull Denmark style selection. This is probably the 1 year Denmark has a chance to run a better selection than Norway
0:51 A vagabond is a drifter or wanderer, someone without roots or things tying them down anywhere. Hope that helps! Also, this is my third year watching the NF season and this is by far the worst MGP of the three. It feels as if they had an 18-song group like last year and advanced all the 4th-6th places to the final because idk how else to describe this drop in quality. If Norway's going to qualify it has a LOT of work to do after MGP.
The fact that almost every selection for this season is weak, I think we might actually have a Balkan/Baltic win between Albania/Greece and Latvia/Estonia. Either that or its gonna be so weak everyone is just gonna default to Mans Zelmerlow and we'll be back in Sweden for 2026.
Based on the snippets, it's really disappointing national final from Norway :/ When they decided to only make a final (by the way, wasn't there supposed to be 10 songs???) I was expecting something like UMK, but we got something like DMGP instead. Kyle and Ladybug are my favorites based on the snippets too, they are fine, but I think that's all I can say about them. I hope that full songs can positively surprise me even a little bit.
One of my stan countries falling off so hard I’m actually so disappointed, MGP was my favourite National final for like 3 years in a row and now we have this 😭
Kyle’s and Ladybug’s songs are barely palatable. I’m mostly just disappointed in the lack of Norwegian songs. This new format is not getting my hopes up either sadly.
Worst selection of the year so far....even albania had more standouts. To be clear this was my favourite selection last year:/ Ulveham Damdiggida Green lights My AI If only 1 of these was in this year's selection.....
It was going to be good cause Angelina Jordan and Lavrans was supposed to be there but Lavrans didint feel ready and Angelina had friends in the LA fires
I'm literally going to MGP this year and oh boy oh boy these are not great :( Kyle Alessandro is the only good one. Well, in the worst case scenario i can just cope that i went to Oslo to see the sights lmao
@@escestonia I certainly will, just from the fact that i'll get to see all the behind-the-scenes moments (props being moved etc). Of course it's not great that this year seems to be mid, but i knew what i was going into. If it was great and i didn't go, i'd feel angry that i passed on an opportunity such as this when i had the time/money to go. Hopefully Gate will show up as an interval
Norway's definitely not getting out of the semis with such a selection... honestly I'd say my fav would be Wig Wam because at least it's a style that I kinda like? Rest is just so freaking bland...
What a weak selection, even Montesong was infinitely better. I imagine Norway didn't try too hard after the sad (undeserved) result of Gåte. Honestly I don't see any of these songs as finalists...

For real, I was expecting UMK level with the grand final only..
@ieatcomputers what r u talking about?? UMK is equally garbage this year
@@Rash23215 UMK has Aina and Nightmares as great entries at least, this has just nothing
@ UMK isn’t great. Im meaning the usual quality (UMK is quite okay still)
@@astrovisionbroadcastingunion that's like ur opinion..... i don't find a single song memorable
Every year I say I hate mgp’s selection, then I’m obsessed with 5 songs, but this year that is definitely not happening 🥲
Please tell me that this are not the songs for MGP, what happened to my favorite NF of Eurovision. Don’t see them qualify this year actually 😔
Other NFs are terrible too. This is gonna be the weakest year ever...
And after all just imagine ulrikke participating this year serving kant. She would finally get her ticket to esc...
For real I miss Ulrikke this year
And Elsie bay
And Keiino
Nah, I expect her next year because she appears every 3 years. Besides, she's pregnant and that's a pretty valid reason to sit out.
@jamiehawker7345 I do not want keiino back, their 2024 attempt was horrible
@diekommentarekommentiererin oh I didn’t know that that’s completely fair then
It would just be unlucky if she competes next year but MGP is super strong again then

i agree with you so much to be honest 😭

At least Latvia is peak

But I'm happy for the Kyle's MGP return!
Norway always blocks ALL the freaking songs it’s ANNNOYINGGG
@escestonia no problem hehe I don't understand those norwegian choices.
The Ulveham instrumental was the best part
and to think that we complained about mgp 2024
Norway is a strong potential NQ this year

Dansk melodi grand prix 2025...
The best part of the video when you used gote in every song
Where is Elsie Bay when we need her the most
😭
She hasn't appeared in any selection so far. Let's hope she will have a song in the German selection (like in previous years).

Damdigga would easily win in this selection, My AI too. I’m disappointed Norway 😢
Having Keiino here as well would literally be my last straw

not the “hope that helps!” 😭😭 but thank you, and yes this quality is through the floor

Vagabond is a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job. It's english word.
One of my stan countries falling off so hard I’m actually so disappointed, MGP was my favourite National final for like 3 years in a row and now we have this 😭
My God, this selection is on a par with the mediocrity of the Malta, Luxembourg or BenidormFest selections.
Last year there was at least 5 songs I loved, this year there's just one I manage to like 😢
Probably weakest MGP in last 10 years. So sad cuz MGP was my fav National final. I think Lighter is best one between them.
The years barely started and Malta have released a better National final then Norway WTF
Where can i see the snipetts? I dont found them 😢

@ thank u 💞
As a big MGP fan and Gate lover, Imma be honest and say I'm not impressed at all by any of these songs
To be fair, Lavrans and Angelina Jordan who were both fan-favorites with ballads withdrew. So the quality might have dropped. Sadly, that happens.
Kyle’s and Ladybug’s songs are barely palatable. I’m mostly just disappointed in the lack of Norwegian songs. This new format is not getting my hopes up either sadly.
LLL stands for live laugh love or smth that’s what they said on the nrk live show
plsss
OMG my ears 😮😖
Best part of the video is the constant ulveham
I am so proud of kyle and adammmmm
Umami tsunami was cute but Kyle shines by himself
Worst selection of the year so far....even albania had more standouts.
To be clear this was my favourite selection last year:/
Ulveham
Damdiggida
Green lights
My AI
If only 1 of these was in this year's selection.....
This is the Songs of MGP??
Why they Did this this amanzing NF?
What is that?
This is a total failure. We know who this is 100% nq now.
It was going to be good cause Angelina Jordan and Lavrans was supposed to be there but Lavrans didint feel ready and Angelina had friends in the LA fires
Great top!! Loveeee Kyle!!! ^^
Damn Norway what happened?
Very meh
I miss Gate
I'm literally going to MGP this year and oh boy oh boy these are not great :( Kyle Alessandro is the only good one. Well, in the worst case scenario i can just cope that i went to Oslo to see the sights lmao
I’m sure you’ll still have fun 🩷

damn this is bad
yeah, the quality of mgp has dropped off since like 2023
Nataleen❤
Norway will NQ
With that shitty song quality i woulda thought this was the Danish MGP not the norwegian one...
What a weak selection, even Montesong was infinitely better. I imagine Norway didn't try too hard after the sad (undeserved) result of Gåte. Honestly I don't see any of these songs as finalists...
