I gotta be honest here. I did not hear any Eurovision song before semi 1 night and as a first impression, that was the song gave me the most joy and entertaintment. Even after the 9th qualifier was revealed, I still expected to see Norway there. The day after early morning I searched for this performance. In years, I lost the bubble of this song but it still remains as a song that gives me smile.
SOme of you may laugh, but this is my all time favorite Eurovision Song. It is amazing and such a positive message. This was the biggest robbery of Eurovision 2011
Did you hear the crowd???? They must have been so disappointed that this failed to qualify. And also: Can broadcasters stop placing fan favourites as 2nd to perform. That is like suicide.
it makes me angry and sad she didn't qualify. beautiful girl who sang in an african language, a first (by my knowledge). plus just listen and look at that crowd! they obviously loved it!
Miguél Alfonso Villarma In a lesser sense, same as Albania 2015 and Croatia 2016. I see a striking similarity between Alb15 and Cro16. Both my personal favourites of their respective years, both qualified 10th in semi 1, both average between 5th and 7th in most polls, and it's anticipation was just too early. They flopped in the final. A real shame. And this comment is, tbh, completely useless 😂. Oh well. Haba haba!
For me, the best song from this competition, probably not only I do not understand why she did not enter the final and it's a shame she did not win. The winning song from Azerbaijan and then and today I do not like it at all, in my opinion the song from Azerbaijan was not suitable for the final of the victory, not even mentioning. Stella and Norway 12 points and my winner this eurovision
No offense, but after hearing "Vardlokk" of the same year, i think this song is kinda dissapointing. But hey, props for hearing african-influenced songs in Eurovision
The same situation as it is for Armenia. Lovely song, bad performance. I love this song, but Mrs. Stella just... can't sing. She must work, work and work. Keep doing music, but if you want to sing on concerts, use playback. I'm really bad for her🤓
OutRunr47 agree, it is even 4 place below the another non qualification song (Icebreaker), and no match to those in the final (especially the best in this decade was 2013,when they came to 4th)

This should have been in the final :(
why? She is out of tune too much.
Ka Nenas Because the song is one of the most fun songs of all time
The most underrated Norwegian entry ever 💔
MrEuroVoice exactly
2016 is more underrated ig
This and 2016

Let s not overeact
I love it too ❤️❤️😍
I agree
Good song and very underrated and it is nice to see a happy song.
it was among the best songs in the world and I liked it so much / many
Many?
If there is someone out there who hates this song, then I don't understand why. This song made me super happy. Such a nice song🥰
You may think I'm crazy, but this was one of my favourites back in that year!
well,the chorus has rythm ...
I don't think you're crazy, it was one of the bigger favourites of the competition and quite a surprise failure 😕
Personally in my top 5 though 😍
NO PLEASE.... i just came across this song second time in 6 years and dont remind me that this song didnt qualify to the Final
This song deserves at least second place and it is still my number one from this year.
Did you hear the crowd???? They must have been so disappointed that this failed to qualify.
And also: Can broadcasters stop placing fan favourites as 2nd to perform. That is like suicide.
THE GZ In 2011 there was draw for position, not for half, so she draw 2nd by herself
true....so many norwegian flags
They're having a party, cheering doesn't necessarily mean that they wanted this song to win. Also complainers should learn to vote.
The perform number is chosen randomly
@@eftelcraft4664 The half they perform in is random, running order is not. It's designed so that too many slow ballads aren't performed in succession.
I love this song!
Me too :-)
There were no words to describe how disappointed I was when Norway failed to qualified. :(
Seeing them in position 2 kinda rubbed salt to the wound.
the biggest robbery of 2011, a song that puts a smile on your face no matter what! My all time fave
Totally agree
Robbed of a place in final. This was the best that year!!. 😍😍
My very first between all the songs in 2011
Absolutely beautiful song! Really sad it didnt qualify. It brings you so much joy!
Banger song, this deserved to qualify
They would play this on the radio all the time over in Sweden, so that makes me happy at least
My first Eurovision heartbreak, i cried for hours!
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪am proud to be a Kenyan ❤🇰🇪🇰🇪
One of my clear favourites. A strong party song in a mix of dull mediocre songs in that year.
One of my favs, funny happy and catchy song. deserved a final place. :/
still SALTY about this
I'll forever be salty because of this song. I voted for it.
12 points from Portugal!
It should have made it through... unfair!
Support from Spain
Buenos noches España❤💛
underrated. .big like
it makes me angry and sad she didn't qualify. beautiful girl who sang in an african language, a first (by my knowledge). plus just listen and look at that crowd! they obviously loved it!
Kenyan Artiste's rock the world I love Stella Mwangi (STL) and Amani... Welcome to Mombasa KENYA :)
My fave that year shame that it didn't manage to end up in top 5! Very energetic! Yet so underrated
such a good song
Whoever didn’t vote for this needs a slap
Should've qualified
This is an anthem
Love it
Love this song from Indonesia ❤️❤️🇮🇩🇮🇩
How this didn’t qualify still blows my mind and it’s been 11 years
Okay...I am OBSESSED with this!!!! 😍😍❤❤
Who’s watching in 2018? ❤️🇳🇴
2020
I was there, it was so amazing, and a shame, that she didn't make it to the final. Greetings from Düsseldorf 😘🥰
This is catchy! :D
11 years later I’m still hurt
Ten years later I'm asking me why this great perfomance did not came through...it wasn't even close :/
similar fate to hear them calling - anticipation at its peak and suddenly it flopped. 😞 #injusticesinEsc

The problem with both Albania and Croatia was that they messed up vocally at the final due to illness.
Live were not what was expected.. But nonetheless nice song with good rhythm and expression of something
Big love from Greece? Thanks for this song Norway
Sweet song
9 years later and i’m still salty that this didn’t get through to the Final
OMG
She can't sing but the song is really catchy
Such a shame it didn’t qualify
I’ll never forgive European for letting this flop!
I remember back in 2011 I was so certain that it was going to be between Sweden & Norway for the win.
this song was robbed of the first place in the Eurovision song contest
chorus in polish is haba haba pół ciasta kiwaba
In swahili

Africovision
My points(10)---- 7 pts
17th in SF?
My top 3 of 2011 were all non qualifiers
It probably wasn't "European" enough.
This song is so much fun and not just that bland mix
Best tracks of 2011 have
Ireland France & Norway
Really should have qualified. A true missed opportunity.
Look at the views count. Not even 100,000 in four years. What is wrong?
wait this is so cute
why no qualify
0:53 here we can clearly see why cameramen are basically dancers also in the performances. They need to keep in the rhythm and do moves
💋❤❤👍
No offense, but after hearing "Vardlokk" of the same year, i think this song is kinda dissapointing. But hey, props for hearing african-influenced songs in Eurovision
2011 was a very strong year but somehow the wrong songs got into the final and some who were actually better like this, Latvia and Bulgaria failed.
17 место 1 полуфинал
Znacie ewry najt?
Bruh stella was joined eurovision early :(
Neither good, nor bad
Хммм... Похоже что 2011 в Норвегии было очень много солнечных дней...
они и так есть на канале. лучше бы 2005 год добавили.
So a 5yo wrote the lyrics?
Ozolz pretty much! She wrote the song when she was little
This didn’t qualify but the chicken clucking song won in 2018 pure crap and robbed
Pas la Norvège que j'aime
Jo final for Haba Haba... Shame
The same situation as it is for Armenia. Lovely song, bad performance. I love this song, but Mrs. Stella just... can't sing. She must work, work and work. Keep doing music, but if you want to sing on concerts, use playback. I'm really bad for her🤓
ESC Fan she is a rapper, that's why her voice wasn't that well
ajajaj
flaut
This a good song but not FOR Eurovision in my opinion
should have been Vardlokk with Helene Bøksle instead :s
It’s so norwegian
Too bad Uganda ...ehm... Norway didnt qualify 🤭
not for me.
Her voice sounds bad out of tune.
Thb i think this is the worst song norway... northen europe has ever sent. But that is just my silly opinion
To be honest I agree xD and I am Norwegian myself xD
Norway's worst Eurovision entry... PERIOD!
OutRunr47 agree, it is even 4 place below the another non qualification song (Icebreaker), and no match to those in the final (especially the best in this decade was 2013,when they came to 4th)
I don't like Sorry Norway :(
Worst song in history. Should have been eliminated before Eurovision!
Lmao u are talking about music but u listen to dora the explorer soundtrack when u do something shut your big fat ass ugly mouth
