Today Morten Thomassen focuses on his favourite song from the Norwegian selection and also the song which had the lowest chance according to the bookmakers to reach the final. ESC Covers google translated it from Norwegian to English.

I have known for a long time that my musical taste rarely matches the Norwegian people, and this year was no exception.

What ended up being my favorite song had, according to the bookmakers, the least chance of reaching a final, only a 12% chance.

Well, that’s exactly what I’m slowly screwing up, with me it was 100% payoff in most areas.

I am still moved by the song, the lyrics and the sincerity this song is delivered with and am a little surprised that this didn’t speak to more people.

It obviously didn’t, for many people I’m probably a little afraid that this was too ordinary and perhaps, in terms of the recipe, a minor-serious ballad for it to be something they could fall for.

The fact that he fought against similar tunes in his semi-final hardly made matters better and he probably simply drew the shortest straw in that particular match.

But, this song will forever be a one with me.
