Morten Thomassen from Norway continues reporting on the rehearsals and  ESC Covers google translated his Norwegian comments into English.

You get Portugal in this round since they had to practice last today.

Croatia

After an extra long break because Portugal had their training postponed due to a covid outbreak with them, our Croatian friend was released. This is a sweet song, but she probably does not manage to bring out the potential in this song in any way. It gets too bland simply, and it does not help with an uninspired artist either.

Denmark

Our Danish friends who actually consist of two Swedes and two Danes should have because they try something that is very un-Danish. But, not all trials go equally well, despite the high pace, this was very tame stuff I’m afraid and it will probably hold hard for a final place this. The quiet opening sequence is actually the best part here.

Austria

90’s dance music obviously has a long life and now we have received visits from that period. Such party songs require one thing and that is a good vocalist. It’s our Austrian girlfriend far from being actually. It’s been a while since anyone has heard such bad vocals given. Sad manages this, she picks up a little vocally, but not much when she gets to practice a little more.

Greece

Someone has figured out how to perform such a song and so absolutely Norwegian Amanda has figured it out. This is magically good and here it is delivered with so much intensity and energy that you are almost put out a bit. It is very possible that this is the Norwegian participant who can take the trophy home. And you can like that.

Portugal

Finally they got to try. They have one outbreak of the disease you know and it may seem like it is one of the backing singers. I like the song, it is super delicious and comfortable, but it happens so damn little in the song. You kind of wait for something to happen and unfortunately it does not.
