I really appreciate your honest reacton. It is not for everyone. "screaming", I don't relate to that. But, anywhuu. I think it might win, actually.

Gåte is AMAZING! 🥇 For me it’s not shouting, I think Gunnhilds voice are beautiful, poetic and powerful! 12 points ❤️ Great performance!

[@efkanreacts]

I totally get that! It‘s a very powerful and interesting entry what we want to see and appreciate at ESC!🙏🏻🔥 And I‘m sure there will be a lot people who like every second of this! I see it as a masterpiece as a whole package as well, just personally the rocky / shouty part is not much my taste. But this can do very very well this year amongst those more mainstream / generic pop songs! Good Luck Norway 🇳🇴❤️

Love it!! ❤

After you listen to this song two three times, you will be totally sold. I recomend you to find out what this song is about, is a 1000 years old text they using together with (what you call screaming) is "kulokk" calling back the herds of animals. Someone will better explain it I guess

[@efkanreacts]

I appreciate the explanation. Thank you. This song has something magical to it! After more listens it really grew on me 🥰 Good luck to Norway this year! 🇳🇴🙏🏻

good review thx Efkan from proud norwegian

[@CM-ey7nq]

It's basically ethnic music more than a rock song :)

I love this song and performance, and I’m so glad we’re sending Gåte (gaw-teh) with this original song to Eurovision🤘 The genre is folk/rock/metal Gåte has been a band since 1999 , with a pause in between, and they’re one of the best live bands in Norway. About the song: The intro is an old “kulokk”. A “kulokk” is how the women called/calls the cows home to be milked in the summer (often in the mountains) So the chorus is inspired by this “kulokk” The song itself is inspired by a norwegian medieval folklore/ballade. Ulveham means wolfskin English lyrics: [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization Greetings from Norway🇳🇴

Love it❤❤❤

[@Danya-gq2nv]

yes, great!🇸🇯🙌💗

[@susannradal9303]

The style of singing Gunhild is singing in is called kulokk/a form of heard calling it has roots back to the Viking age probably longer It is not screaming it is supposed to sound like that Gåte mix folk and rock always sing in Norwegian in this song dialects and very old Norwegian The text is a 1000 year old poem/song They are very popular here in Norway are amazing live And have for 20 years. I am very proud that we are sending them the only reason they did not win with a landslide was the international expert jurys love for the 90's tekno song from Keiino (this time they had a really boring song)

[@hlorii6598]

I'm Norwegian, and though I truly enjoy nearly everything about the song, the story, the band, and the fact that it's in Norwegian (and even a dialect that makes it even more authentically so), I agree with you that it gets oversaturated after a while. I.e. it's not for everyone, but still with enough appeal that you'll probably see it in the ESC final as well. FWIW I think you might like Denmark's entry better. It's relatively calmer, quite catchy, and given the ESC field so far I think it would have a good chance - if it only could make it into the final. Unfortunately I think that's its problem right now; it's in a tough position (1st half of 2nd semi, sandwiched between perhaps the most similar-sounding songs, and with really only Norway amongst "friendly nations" voting-wise). But I hope both of these entries will make it.

[@efkanreacts]

Of course I am seeing it definitely in the final! It‘s too magical and different not to be there ❤️🙏🏻

[@ricoeugene2628]

I do understand Your approach! If You do not like it : You do not like it , it is ok! 🙂 everything is cool.. I only want to tell You something about the background of this band : Gunnhild is a Folk / Rock singer An the "shouting" and the "screaming" is a way of singing (old , old way of singing) to bring the Heard of animals back to the farm.. Old tradtition.. ...You know what I am talking about..

[@Danya-gq2nv]

AWESOME🇸🇯

[@mirjanakarnicar6031]

Croatia is winer 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@intros3]

love that it's in norwegian but i'm confused by this song, the singer has a voice but in the end it's all just shouting. The chorus is just her voice, no melody, I don't like it.

[@janidoesstuff2208]

I am not sure if you are aware, but the chorus is what we call a «kulokk». It is a way of luring the cows back home to the farm after they have roamed free to eat. So it is supposed to be like sounds that travels through the valleys and fjords. We are still using this some places 😄

[@janidoesstuff2208]

Not sure if that made it less confusing though 😂

[@Koreviking]

You clearly know nothing about music.

[@ricoeugene2628]

..I belive You have heard it by now.. : "Shouting" : It is an ethnic way of singing , or an old way for calling back the herds of animals to a farm. (Belongs to the story of this song) Folk music. Mixed with rock. -There is a melody , but no words.. But the Lyrics earlier in the song is 1000 years old... Gunnhild Sundli is a Folk/Rock singer. -You do not like it , that is ok. We are all allowed to dislike , or like music. 👍 ..I only wanted to give You some background information about the genre .. 🙂
