TV: The stage is set for a new season of “Star Wars”. New this year is that participants can choose what they want to do in this introductory round. It is simply about being self-reliant. Sort of a safe and smooth start, so to speak.
Knut Marius Djupvik: “With a little help from my friends” – Joe Cocker (The Beatles)
Knut Marius has chosen to introduce himself to the Norwegians with Joe Cocker’s rendition of The Beatles classic “With a Little Help from My Friends.” He doesn’t have many verses in the song to show that opening nerves are not something Knut Marius emphasizes with. It has a voice control that can prove that it is worth its weight in gold all season long. There is not much tonal chord in the waltz here.
Your biggest challenge is probably limiting yourself. Here you roll on the floor and chew against the ceiling lights with all the muscles in your entire body. An over-lit thought here, but we can bear it on a day like this.
2. Anita Hegerland: “Moonlight Shadow” – Mike Oldfield
Of course, Anita will sing “Moonlight Shadow”, one of the perennials of the 80s that she somehow owns. Her voice is rich and pleasant, a little darker than Maggie Riley, who sang the original. Technically, there are a few small challenges to track down. She seems to run out of air inside between the stanzas, making the whole thing a hoarse thought.
But Anita catches it again with a flickering smile and lots of positive energy. It really seems that the stage has been lost and takes advantage of the minutes that have been given.
Emil Solli-Tangen: Where are you? – Josh Groban
This year’s Phantom of the Opera, Emil Solli-Tangen, his brother you know, has chosen a song by Josh Groban. As it should be, all the time Groban has plenty of room for drama, pathos, and big vocal lifts in his songs.
No one will have to argue about Emil’s technical abilities. It is very convincing in terms of singing technique and can certainly go a long way if you are able to adapt along the way.
As big and cool as it sounds, you miss a personal touch and this is where the biggest challenges lie when you’re as good at school as Emil after all.
4. Myra: “Super Bass” – Nicki Minaj
Myra has become one of the most interesting urban singers in this country. Here she shows the whole country that she knows how to “take” a scene. Myra recognizes the importance of showmanship, dance and uniqueness. She effortlessly raps and sings loudly, even if she chokes a bit in the chorus.
In short, Myra has the whole spectrum; hopefully you will get a lot of new tasks to compete in the competition.
Alex Rosén: “You can count on me” – Sammy Davis jr.
There are many things in Alex Rosén that allow us to say that he is created for a scene. He’s a showman of dimensions when the frame stands on his terms. But, and this is small but here, this is first and foremost a singing competition and Alex is not the first on the starting field.
He’s a pretty limited singer, as this rendition by Sammy Davis suggests. Tonally it is not quite in the fjord, but there is something with sound and expression. It feels a bit flat and tame, just.
6. Hege Øversveen: “Don’t Put Earth on My Grave Yet” – Nashville Cast with Hayden Panettiere
What is “Star Fight” without a real sex star. Hege Øversveen does not allow herself to be asked twice when she is given the opportunity to play that role. It’s mostly about your energy and communication skills – you have both cubed and cubed.
In terms of voice, it is completely formatted. Round and rough at the edges of the sound, finished off with copious doses of impact. Maybe a little bitter on top, but not terribly dangerous in a context like this. In a way, it helps to value performance.
7. Vegard Bjørsmo: “She” – Isák (Mari Boine)
Vegard Bjørsmo is not the most prominent of the singers this year, but he is definitely one of those who has shown the most personality during tonight’s broadcast. The song was originally written by Mari Boine, but Vegard relies on Isák’s performance, led by last year’s “Star Wars” winner, Ella Marie.
It is atmospheric and almost sacred. Vegard goes from soft, muted tones to high, shaky tones without losing the value of the song. Immeasurably beautiful, no less.
8. Sandra Lyng: “Weak” – Victor Leksell
Maybe Sandra should pack more with her song? In any case, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be on stage. She has a fragile crack to her voice that is excellently suited to the long-lasting expression of this song. Sandra likes to say that she has been nervous and insecure beforehand, but that doesn’t show her performance at all.
Some phrases are a bit stifled, but more importantly, it seems genuine and personal.
9. Einar odd: “Difficult to handle” – Otis Redding
Here there will be life, as they say in the north. Odd Einar is also a relatively under-described magazine for the great masses. This probably doesn’t mean that the main character here has little time spent navigating the stage. He seems experienced within arm’s reach and takes good care of both footwork and use of voice. Odd Einar has a nice touch on his soul-calibrated vocal chords.
However, it’s easy to get excited about both skills and performance, but there’s something lacking in character about everything. Here you have to prove who you are, I don’t know if I ever met Odd Einar.
10. Ingeborg Walther: «Golden Ticket» – Highasakite
It is not an easy task to join Ingrid Helene Håvik in the industry, one of perhaps the best pop vocalists in the country. Ingeborg is doing very well. In addition to taking care of the intensity of the song, she also manages to put a couple of personal disputes in the vocal phrases, which gives it the necessary dose of distinction.
A bit of a rush for pronunciation here and there, but it will be exciting to see what Ingeborg has to offer in the weeks ahead.
