There is no autotune with Gåte. I also enjoy the end more than the start - it is the natuarl way to top it - full throttle. I'm just letting my self go in the song and being dragged into whatever they are doing. Amazing! Thanks for the reaction!
I love eurovision so much because it really is a way to learn about so many artists from so many countries. There's no way that I could just naturally encounter Gåte otherwise, but thanks to eurovision I did and now it is one of my favourite bands❤
Glad to see my winner get to Eurovision! Was so happy when they won. They are not using autotune and they have been playing concerts since 2002 so I think we are good.
After having listened to all the pres, this was my favorite of all, but I didn't see it as a possible winner. The Norwegians have given me a pleasant surprise! And I was also a bit afraid of how they were going to perform the song, remember that the original lasts 5 minutes, almost double the standards at Eurovision! and I think that's why it sounds so frantic at times, in the original version there is more space and more evolution in the song in general. Nevertheless, this is my fav to win ESC at this moment.
Gåte have been amazing live performers since 1999 so claiming that Gunnhild will struggle without autotune is just ridiculous. Her voice is out of this world, and I'm confident that she and the rest of the band will blow everyone away in Malmö.
Usually I would agree with the comment with the autotune. However, this band makes music for a while now and I think they can actually perform their songs well.
She's singing without autotune. The folk music way she's singing would not work very well with autotune. It makes it more "flat" (they've tried it in the studio, and it sounds off/strange).
@@ingridhagerup9626 Definitely agree with you. I produce music and am of course familiar with autotune, it is very easy to hear when you have some experience with it.
Actually perform songs well?.. They are one of the best live-bands in Norway and have been so for over 20 years. The whole band are virtuosos and the singer refused to use auto-tune. Have seen them live several times, they are amazing.
My winner for now, and most likely will remain so. I've spent my teens listening to this kind of music, so it feels quite nostalgic to me. It was a nerve rocking voting, and still don't understand the Keiino hype.
yeah, knowing NRK they probably used less than professional (read adolescent) juries to save money and they voted for party music. In my opinion all jury votes should be banned, why should a little handful of people that has about the same knowledge of music as the local butcher get so much power. It goes against every single thing music stands for.
4.5/5.A bit different than what Norway usually send and it will definitely stand out considering it looks like we're not going to have many bands this year.Captivating in every sense,visually impressive and Gunnhild's vocals are powerful and intense. Prediction: Top 5-10
It all hinges upon whether the atmosphere in Europe assumes an unusual and peculiar demeanor this year. I concur with your assessment. I estimate the likelihood to be between 5 and 10, as the ambiance appears excessively somber, potentially deterring the younger demographic, who may forget to vote. Nonetheless, should there be a prevailing appetite for a spine-chilling experience this year, it could result in a landslide. Conversely, there exists a possibility of a failure to qualify, given the argument that the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is traditionally associated with jubilation. Undoubtedly, Gunnhild's vocal prowess is remarkable; however, it stands as the sole remarkable aspect of this contribution. In all other aspects, I assign a rating of four to three stars. I maintain that winning is not paramount for Norwegians; rather, they take pride in imparting their cultural heritage to continental Europe. In this regard, merely qualifying constitutes a triumph in itself. Consequently, if Norway secures a spot in the final, they are likely to be exceedingly content. Any further accolades would be regarded as a bonus.
Thanks for the great review! As for how Gåte will do with the jury votes at Eurovision, we got a little 'preview' with the international juries that called in which was truly a 'mixed bag' with some juries not even giving them any votes at all while a number of other juries gave them 10 and at least one 12 if I recall correctly. They came in a good second place overall with the jury votes which wasn't that bad and the televote was just barely enough to put them over the top. (6 points total against KEIINO!). So even here, the jury votes were significant. One might wonder if the fact that KEIINO was much more 'well known' (than Gåte) to the jury members might have helped ... Gåte coming out of relative obscurity. I did think the singing, staging and performance elevated Ulveham massively.
I appreciate you find the ending part too intense, but imho the story ending with the maid/wolf ripping out her pregnant step mother's heart and thus drinking his unborn half brother's blod, is the reason behind the intensity. Would be weird to sing these lines with some calm music 😊
Love to listen to your opinion of a song ! The part you call 'too much' is the best part for me, it does something to me I can't describe, my emotions go through the roof hearing the song for the first time !
@@SailingMayhem You're describing what is happening to me... The 3rd time I was about to cry, the song is hitting some sensitive strings in my head, truly amazing.
Someone thinking that it's autotune? It's not though but a traditional way of singing, in Norwegian techniques from what's in Norwegian is called a "Lokk", also known a kullning.
Thank you for a great review - very insightful. I love Gåte, and is awestruck by this captivating performance. However, I get your point about the camera daring a few close-ups of Gunnhild, it would bring the viewer closer to the song. Pick up the phone, and call NRK, they should be able to make improvements ♥
I am so happy this won! It is so cool we get some pagan folk rock in Norwegian at Eurovision. Norway took a risk and I hope it pays off. I agree with the performance being a bit too frantic towards the end but that is fixable with camerawork and lighting. I don't think they need to change much. Some tweeks here and there to elevate it but it's pretty much copy paste ready. I love the darkness of the lyrics and the ominous dramatic vibes of the performance. I love the vocals, how it feels like howling in some parts, and to be fair If I had to unalive my stepmother who was carrying my unborn halfbrother so i could drink his blood and lift the curse she put on me i would probably howl like a frantic maniac too....😂 I hear you sis. Is this for everybody? No. But it doesn't need to be. The audience for this will bump it up into the top 10. At least I hope so, because this is top 10 material imo. I would love for this to win but I am realistic about all the reasons it probably won't. But still, so far this is my winner ❤
Guaranteed Top 10, I'm happy it won MGP. It's a great vibe, very atmospheric. To the lyrics, of course, a text that is basically a millennium old doesn't give them an advantage. Plus, she's talking about drinking the blood of her half-brother, her dad's kid, which her stepmother is carrying to term, not her stepbrother.
People should stop talking about the autotune in MGP, and all you guys with podcasts and youtube-channels should also take note of this: using autotune is optional in MGP. Not everyone chooses to use it, also Gåte has performed since 2002 and are one of the best live bands we have in Norway and is also probably the most established and famous name we have had in the contest EVER! They dont autotune their vocals at all. Also, for Gåtes performance, i miss comments about the amazing energy of the guys, jumping around, and Magnus throwing his guitar 5 meters up in the air and catching it again, and so on... they are insane and it all works so well. I am probably going to offend a lot of people here...but Gåte is a better live band than Måneskin for sure!
I finally listened to all the released Eurovision songs for this year and this was my biggest surprise. I haven’t seen much hype of it online and it was my last listen and I was agape the entire time. This is exactly what I want in Eurovision and I so hope it wins or at least hits top 5
Nice opinion. For me the “intense part” is the best part, specially when she sings looking at the roof supporting herself with her hand in the rock. Just awesome.
All I can say well done Norway!!!! Agree with your prediction, I would rate it 4,5/5. My prediction for grand final is 3-8, have to wait for other acts to be released.
At this moment, Norway and Slovenia are my top. Both are true dark stories, mythology at least. in their own language by very strong and talented singers. (I know Gåte is a band) Slovenia is more my personal taste so it wins now.
Gåte is just amazing, fantastic power and energy. The voice from Mother Earth! ❤️ Beautiful Gunhild - this is what Eurovision needs right now! 12 points 🥇
Song: ⭐⭐⭐⭐, Staging ⭐⭐⭐⭐, Performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Voice ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lyrics: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In total: Being from West Sweden, only 40 minutes from the Norwegian border, I really rerelate to this entry. This song will get high jury points from the Nordic countries. Love the key fiddle. Wish Sweden will send a song like this. Norway can win the whole competition. 🫶
I think Eurovision is forcing them to change the lyrics. Sad as this is old traditional story telling. :( I don't think the poin of wokeness is to sensor history.
It’s based on a song from the Middle ages. A stepmother is jealous and cast a spell on her stepdaughter and makes her into different items, example a sword. Every time she is still preferred by the King/people, in the end she makes the girl into a wolf that lives in the woods. The only way to break the spell is if she drinks her brother’s blood. One day the stepmother passes the woods and the girl/wolf eats the stepmother’s heart. The twist is that the stepmother is pregnant with a boy, therefore she drinks her brother’s blood and is free from the spell.
Totally agrree on the staging part, or the tv pictures that we saw , its quite too much, but I think that the biggest issue is that NRK always seems to have a problem transforming the essence of the song on stage, and yes, they should have more close ups on Gunnhild, its hard to connect with her when we dont see her. But hey, they got time to make this even better ;)
I'm so happy this won. I like KEiiNO's song too but this is so much more original and powerful IMO. I really hope the juries will go for it so it can be a contender to win, but in any case no doubt they will do very well.
Am Anfang war ich kein Fan davon, aber inzwischen ist es sogar mein Platz 2 und ich hätte absolut nichts dagegen, wenn es sogar den ESC gewinnen würde. Keino fand ich dieses Jahr schwach, deshalb war ich erleichtert, dass die nicht gewonnen haben.
What would be the point of the close ups when the audience don’t understand her lyrics anyways? I get it as a method of emphasising the message, but since they don’t understand that would just be random close ups of an intense face. I think it’s better that they make it look epic
I really dont get the hype for this song. I dont see it doing well with the televote after last year's three rock song flops and then the ethnic elements that are normally underrated at Eurovision such as France 2022. People wont be able to sing the screaming chorus. A revamp is needed.
Yes! People say this will flop like eaea but no! This is more accessible. We know norway is always a televoting powerhouse, and finally they have a song with vocals juries can love. I see top 3 at LEAST!
Yeah, I think they can. It'll get high jury scores from the Nordic countries aswell as from France and eastern Europe. And they'll get televotes from all around the place.
I like The song and strong Even littel dark but i ditten now this Story Even i from Norway to. But i hope mabye win Even i hope kaiino win this time. But l look forowed to se i in Malmø smil.❤😊
I am going to offend a lot of people but Gåte was clearly better than Keiino. Keiino's song wasn't good and not to mention the lyrics weren't good either. While at the same time they gave masterpieces like spirit in the sky
this will do very well with the juries, mark my words, this is a professional band that has been playing together for 25 years not some procedural band thrown together last minute
I'm still trying to understand why some people love this. I've seen other commenters who don't get it. I listen to all genres but i dont get this. It lacks cross-cultural appeal for me. A bit like Blanca Paloma last year only worse. But the televote loves Norway so will go through i guess?
The drinking of her brothers blood. I think from the old story it's told that the stepmother was pregnant, and so when the wolf-maiden was ripping her step mother to pieces she also drinks the blood of her unborn half brother.
I guess I'm in the minority then, cause I'm not a big fan of this. And I have a trouble seeing this do well in the televote. It's just so all over the place. I don't see this in the TOP5 at all. Maybe I'll have to end up eating my words, but as for now.... Nope.
If the swedes don't pull something out of the hat in the next two rounds of nationals, then I think this song will be at least top 3. Maybe even the winner due to many of the songs being more on the bland side this year.
I'm not gonna lie; I don't get it.. I mean.. Here we are, having a winner in Keiino, for then to go ahead and send this weird shit!? Her vocals might get us through to the finals, but I sure wouldn't bet on it. As for a Eurovision song, I'd rate it 2/5
And Keiino isnt "weird shit" with all that gibberish singing and weird dancers with boxes 💀? They are not even close to being winners, they barely won in 2019 with a much stronger song.
No need to be rude and call it "weird shit". Opinions and taste vary and of course this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's good to at least respect it for what it is.
apparently, her vocal technique is influenced by a traditional herding call, kulning, and a norwegian folk vocal technique, kveding. both are appropriate given the lyrics
The third chorus has black metal shrieking, something I'd never thought I'd ever hear in a Eurovision final
I disagree about the intensity. That feeling of chaos and frantic energy is perfect for the song and is why it has such winner vibes
So happy this won. Top 10 guaranteed, maybe even higher.
There is no autotune with Gåte. I also enjoy the end more than the start - it is the natuarl way to top it - full throttle. I'm just letting my self go in the song and being dragged into whatever they are doing. Amazing! Thanks for the reaction!

So happy that this song was chosen. It's growing on me. The chorus is haunting me! 🤩
Hopefully they avenge the robbery of Alvedasen in 2006, the last Norwegian language entry until today! That song deserved top 10!
Alvedansen was the best in 2006, and among my top 7 Eurovision entries, those 7 that are magical

I know the feeling ;) It just didn't quite happen with this one for me (yet)
@@eurovisionhistories My friend - you absolutely need to repeat the song 3 times. Then it sit and will never let go :)

I thought I would be disappointed if KEIINO didn't win but to my surprise I think it's an equally good choice to send Gåte to the contest
Gunhild is a professional actress too
This song feels like it is over before you know it, in a good way. not one boring moment

10/10 I realy liked Miia's song But this one was the best by far
Full points! I love the folk music influence
Stepmother was pregnant so by eating her she also ate the unborn steprother and the curse was lifted.
I don’t like it
norway has won 1 time in sweden, denmark 2 times so i guess it's norway's time this year.
Blanka Paloma got unique, amazing song too and we all remember what she got in the end

The stepmother was pregnant, hence she drank her brothers blood.
The original song was a couple minutes longer, so it probably was just what you wanted before it was cut down to ESC 3 minutes reqiurement.
The stepmother was pregnant, with her brother 🙊
Gunhild doesn't use autotune
It was amazing performance!!!!!

Do you think Norway could win with this?
Yes! People say this will flop like eaea but no! This is more accessible. We know norway is always a televoting powerhouse, and finally they have a song with vocals juries can love. I see top 3 at LEAST!
It didn’t do great with the juries and their national final, I fear that they will flop jury vote.. AGAIN
Håper Gjerne Det
Yeah, I think they can. It'll get high jury scores from the Nordic countries aswell as from France and eastern Europe. And they'll get televotes from all around the place.
My prediction for them 1-3 so yes!!!
My current favourite in the running atm
Love your comments! To the point!

Im not worried for the professionalism but for the fact that juries usually like traditional and rock songs less than the televoters
I'm still trying to understand why some people love this. I've seen other commenters who don't get it.
I listen to all genres but i dont get this. It lacks cross-cultural appeal for me. A bit like Blanca Paloma last year only worse. But the televote loves Norway so will go through i guess?

Youre so cute
AMAZING ❤❤❤
Why did _Performance_ drop from 5 to 4 stars when you gave the _Stage_ points? 🤔
I guess I'm in the minority then, cause I'm not a big fan of this. And I have a trouble seeing this do well in the televote. It's just so all over the place. I don't see this in the TOP5 at all. Maybe I'll have to end up eating my words, but as for now.... Nope.
Very nice and professional reaction. Thanks🥰
If the swedes don't pull something out of the hat in the next two rounds of nationals, then I think this song will be at least top 3. Maybe even the winner due to many of the songs being more on the bland side this year.
12 points 🇳🇴
My n.8 for now.

No need to be rude and call it "weird shit". Opinions and taste vary and of course this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's good to at least respect it for what it is.
What? Sorry but this song is not good
apparently, her vocal technique is influenced by a traditional herding call, kulning, and a norwegian folk vocal technique, kveding. both are appropriate given the lyrics
