When I first heard this haunting ballad, I was baffled as to why it had such great reviews. Yes, the video was well styled with its spooky theatrical vibe, but the song seemed quite boring. However, it is another song that has grown on me and I now appreciate its musical quality shining through! I also love these lyrics:
“To find the prince you thought you found in me
I better set you free and give you up
Just wave and say goodbye and let you leave
Without a monster like me”
It’s not my favourite for the win but I imagine it will score highly with the juries for being a classic song with a dark overtone. These two had good chemistry on stage in London too, so replicated on the night I think Norway will place well. I love Debrah’s voice too, what a gem.
My score: 8/10
Prediction: Will qualify, top 10 in Final
