TELEVISION: Tonight’s “Star Fight” was about great bands and musicals with the Broadcasting Orchestra as an expert assistant. Five became four when Emil Solli-Tangen had to leave “Star Wars.”
Big band:
Emil Solli-Tangen: “The Lady is a Tramp” – Frank Sinatra
Emil has a twinkle in his eye and the tux suits him, but he just can’t seem to dive into the song and find the beat. There will be something agitated and hoarse everywhere. He doesn’t sing badly, but he lacks a couple of Jack Daniels to make the sound a bit gross. Emil’s voice becomes something nice and orderly for this format.
Ingeborg Walther: “Wonderwall” – Paul Anka
Great selection of Ingeborg songs. She obviously likes to challenge herself, and in terms of time, this isn’t the easiest task she could have tackled. It is also usable balanced by Ingeborgs ‘Wonderwall’. But unlike several of the previous nights, it seems like you have to focus more here to keep up, which means the gain isn’t all that obvious. But, of course, he does not get carried away by the stick.
Vegard Bjørsmo: “I can’t take my eyes off myself” – Frankie Valli
Vegard is the great charm of this heat. You never know what comes to your mind and you always have an exuberant positive energy in everything you do. You can see that he enjoys every moment. So here too. This may not be their natural habitat. He’s a little up and down vocally, he sounds rusty between all the beautiful songs, but he sticks with what he has in the chorus and dances and stands on the last lawn.
Sandra Lyng: “(You make me feel like) a natural woman” – Aretha Franklin
One thing’s for sure: at least Sandra Lyng shouldn’t be underestimated. It has a surprisingly wide range, both tonally and dynamically. She is emphatically demonstrated here. Furthermore, her arrangement and performance are elegant and tasteful. She obviously has a completely different tone than Aretha Franklin, but Sandra makes it work in her own way. Perhaps his best performance so far in “Star Wars”?
Knut Marius Djupvik: “For once in my life” – Sammy Davis Jr.
Technically, this is the top level of Knut Marius. These are time-defying problems, to say the least. Keeping calm and the “show factor” intact while singing like this without letting go of stress is pretty impressive. For the audience, this is not the biggest courtship you can think of, but it’s fun that someone dares to challenge you too. This was fun and competent from start to finish.
Musical:
Emil Solli-Tangen: “Send Out the Clowns” from A Little Night Music
Then came the moment of great emotions. Here it will be difficult to challenge Emil, who is really at home. For a voice and for a presence. It doesn’t take a lot of movement, but the subdued look helps support the seriousness of the song. And for once, there’s no need to hold back vibrato when higher notes need to be forced. Thunder delivery.
Ingeborg Walther: “On my own” eng Les Misérables
Ingeborg sings fantastically well, there’s nothing to say about it. Also here. But there is still something that does not reach the heart this time. Is it too technically perfect and nice? You miss something that breaks and gives value to the song. It may seem unreasonable to say it all the time Ingeborg sings, something few do after her. But one has gotten so used to her interpreting all tasks in an excellent way and is happy to give something extra.
Vegard Bjørsmo: “Waving through a window” fra Dear Evan Hansen
A Brave Vegard Pick: In contexts like this, you can gain a lot by choosing a plum that people know well from before. As mentioned, Vegard is not the most experienced singer of the remaining contestants, but he has a unique way of approaching songs that brings personality and character to his performances. You must continue with that. It takes him a while to find a foothold in the song, but in the latter half he owns it.
Sandra Lyng: “Beauty and the Beast” from Beauty and the Beast
Does a little Celine Dion live in Sandra? It can at least convey dramatic pop in a credible way. There is not much to point out here when it comes to singing. It might not be as stressful as the big band part, but this is definitely Sandra’s night and you may not have thought about it when you see what capabilities she measures muscles with.
Knut Marius Djupvik: «Anthem» fra Chess
Knut Marius isn’t known for hitting the brakes, but if there’s one connection he doesn’t have to make either, it’s when the musical is on the show. The boring one has been told that he has a voice few can match, but somehow it is also not possible not to mention it. It is magnificent, dramatic, and very beautiful. And relatively restrained indeed, although you can see that he almost sees teeth on the buttocks.
