Subwoolfer have become the new favorite to win the Norwegian national selection for Eurovision.  Previously Elsie was on top of the betting odds.  However, after performing her song last Saturday, she started losing ground.

The Odds

Subwoolfer are now the bettors favorite to win Melodi Grand Prix 2022.  They are competing with their song Give That Wolf A Banana.  Elsie Bay has fallen to second place in the odds with her song Death Of Us. Northkid is currently in third place.  However the remaining acts lag behind the first two spots with similar chances of winning Melodi Grand Prix 2022.

 

Norway: Interview with Lily Löwe from Melodi Grand Prix 2022! (Video)

After the announcement of her participation in this year’s national final of Norway, Melodi Grand Prix 2022, Lily Löwe talks exclusively to EurovisionFun and Stella Gialetzi.

Lily Löwe is very happy with with the reception her song receives from the public, as this song is her debut in the Norway’s national final, MGP 2022!

“Bad Baby” is about the awareness, regarding who someone is in real life, in contrast to how good of a person we thought he is. When we wrote the song, we realized that it can be an “earworm” to whoever listens to it. 

Talking about her stage appearance in the semifinal, she said that there will be a prime presence of fire, however something will happen that she foresees the public will like, and she is really excited about it.

I will have my band with me on stage. All three of them are really good and we’ll have the time of our lives. I feel really lucky and blessed that they will be with me.

From the other competing songs, the one she stands out, is that of Steffen Jakobsen, a country song that happens to be with her on yhe same semi-final. Her favorite Norwegian participation in the contest is Alexander Rybak (2009) while from the contest in general she likes Måneskin  (Italy 2021), Conchita Wurst (Austria 2014) and Lordi (Finland 2006)

I wish that in future contests, there will be more rock songs by womem.

Just before the end of the interview, Lily Löwe offered a part of her song, acapella.

Anders Tangen, a member of the Norwegian Eurovision news site escNorge, has also listened to excerpts from the songs and in a recent podcast gave him the following information!

  • The competition is more open than against TIX vs. Keiino of 2021
  • One of the direct finalists has a disappointing song (it could be NorthKid)
  • There are two heavy-metal / rock songs, one from an internationally known band (it could be Gaahls Wyrd), while the other was created specifically for the national final
  • A famous personality takes part and seems to be returning to the competition, although the artist does not have a good song
  • There is a dynamic ballad by a singer that was part of a successful duet (it seems to be Elsie Bay from Elsa & Emilie, who wrote last year’s “Witch Woods”)
  • This year has strong ballads, which could contribute to great success at Eurovision
  • There will be no genres like “rølp” or “russemusikk”
  • There is a country song by an artist who has participated in a music show (it could be one of Steffen Jakobsen, Ingvar Olsen or Kristian Raanes. If it is Ingvar, the song may have been written by Mørland (Norway 2015) after they have worked together in the past)
  • There are several up and coming artists from music shows like The Voice or Idol
  • One of the artists has been used on vocals for Norway (it could be Bjørnar Reime found on vocals in 2015 or Øyvind Boye Løvold who supported with his voice in 2010 and 2011)

We remind you that tomorrow, January 10, at 13:30 cet, the 21 artists will be announced as well as their songs, something that has to be done from 2019, in order to claim the coveted ticket to Turin!
