This is my winner so far, it's everything I wanted from Norway for years now. The folklore elements, the Norwegian Language, just everything. I also love how the song and performance sets the mood of this piece right at the beginning with that traditional instrument and the dark lighting. It's just so aesthetically pleasing
Knowing my taste this will probably be my ESC 2024 winner
This is what I love Eurovision for! It feels good rooting for Norway again.
the song has strong roots in Norwegian folklore and music. Gåte is a liveband that has been around for 20 years or so. Quality !!!
I'm so happy Norway is sending a rock song again after almost 20 years, and its in Norwegian at that, which is just the caramel on the sundae.
I was waiting for us to send something like this, something folk-inspired and in Norwegian, and it finally happened! Dare I say this is Norway's best entry since at least 2009?
The song always gives me goosebumps, without a fail. Absolutely love it and think it's a serious top 5 contender
Love the staging! I was so happy Gåte won and having it in Norwegian a win! Been on repeat! ❤
Love your reaction to this!
No matter how many times I listen to the song (and it's been A LOT till now) - I always get goosebumps. This is why I love Eurovision. I get to know bands like Gate. Bands, that will stay on my playlist forever with all their music 💚
Elves and gnomes would be totally misplaced in this performance. The lyrics are based on Norwegian folklore from over 1000 years ago about a girl who lost her mother when she was born and get's bewitched by her evil stepmother. Her stepmother transforms her into a wolf and the only way to break the spell is to drink her brothers blood. She finds her stepmother wandering in the woods and kills her finding out she is pregnant with her baby brother. Happy ending!
Probably the best singer this year. She's just incredible.
That's my fave so far
This is perfect like it is. This is not America, we are a humble people. Her clothes represent the natur, and natur is important here in Norway.
As a norwegian, obviously it would be nice winning eurovision, but that's not what it is about for most people. We send whatever we like the most every year, and we always have done. If the rest of europe like it, that's a plus, but the most important thing is that we love it. 😂❤
If Norway messes this up in May, in terms of ataging, I may never forgive them! This is perfection for me!
Ulveham means Wolfskin, and is based on an old fairytale. A girl is turned into a wolf by her evil stepmother, and she cannot become human again unless she drinks the blood of her brother. One day she finds her pregnant stepmother in the woods, and takes the blood of her unborn baby brother. Pretty dark..
Great in-depth analysis, better than most reaction vids!
Looove this so much!! Norway & Ukraine are my top two atm ❤️ Love from 🇸🇪
Thank you for the reaction! Btw NRK doesn't have any commercials.
