Morten Thomassen continues with his report on the 40 songs from the 2022 Eurovision song contest. ESC Covers google translated from Norwegian to English.

The country with the most victories, has been miles away from being in any kind of shape to add on that account.

There was hardly anyone who thought that victory was within reach, but there was little hope for a final place, which is possibly considered a victory for this country now.

Brooke must have been so disappointed when the final place slipped that she cried for a quarter of an hour to get the disappointment out of her system.

I can barely understand her, it seems as if she was one of those who received the best reception in the hall, but unfortunately that reaction does not count towards the result.

It is not particularly rich to only get 47 points in a semifinal, you probably will not get far enough with that.

“That’s Rich” is an uptempo song and they are known to struggle quite a bit with catching on with the professional juries and only a quarter of the points the lady got came from them.

Possibly it was a kind of consolation that the song got 12 points from the neighboring country Great Britain, but with points only from 7 countries in total, you will not make it to the final.

Brooke did the best she could, she was very charming and sang mostly well, but sometimes you see that she lacks experience in singing and dancing at the same time.

I think that was what made the song not catch on with so many, the quality of the artists who participate is not quite top and when the songs that are sent are not quite top either, you will struggle in this circus.

For struggling, yes this country does, only a final place on the last 8 attempts is lazy stuff, here one must probably try to get the best musical forces in the country if the old heyday is to be recreated.
