First out of this year’s “Norwegian” contribution and a song that got the honor of opening the final show.

And there is little doubt that they managed that job with great success, the hall was set on fire from the first song.

But, a bit like speed-holders in longer races in athletics, it was probably not the intention that this song should do well.

22nd place was probably a good deal below the position most people had imagined that this song would get.

In terms of points, it was the audience that failed, only 5 single points from Northern Macedonia, so no help in being 2/3 Norwegian there, although they were in 11th place so very close that they got points from Norway.

Nor did the Norwegian jury think this song was good enough to get points, where this song came in 12th place.

In any case, the juries were over 6 times more generous than the people, but with 38 points in total, it did not seem to get very high on the results list.

In terms of performance, the song from We Are Domi was perhaps a bit tame and meaningless.

Three happy dancing young people on an otherwise rather empty stage was perhaps not what was needed to convince those entitled to vote?

Vocals were fine, but maybe a little thin at times and also these went for an overly dark stage at times.

It did not help the case that they were a good number of party songs this year so that this one might lose in the battle for the voices of such songs.

This is perhaps made clear by the fact that in the semifinals “Lights Off” came in a nice fourth place, but in the final all the countries that ended up in 5-10th place in the same semifinal came ahead of them on the results list.

Our Czech friends used four attempts before they finally reached a final, something they have now managed 4 times, think they should keep up with their youthful music, it usually bears fruit.
