Reacting to 'Ulveham' by Gåte | Winner of Melodi Grand Prix 2024 | Norway in Eurovision

MGP served up pure quality again this year. We are super impressed (and a little surprised) that Gåte was selected-we think they bring a unique and wonderfully intense offering to the Eurovision platform! (KEiiNO were also fabulous in the final.)
Let us know what you think of this folklore-inspired rock song below. Also, thanks so much for supporting the channel - your encouragement and engagement keeps us going. #eurovision #esc2024

Great reaction! The people voted for Gåte, so it was good thing that they won. I think Norwegians would be very outraged if foreign juries, who voted for Keiino, had prevented us from sending Gåte to Eurovision. We love Keiino, but this time they had to see themselves lost for a song that struck the core of Norwegians' hearts.

Interesting! Thanks for your comment. This is definitely an entry to be proud of. 😃

[@unpunnyfuns]

I will have to second this.,

I was at the final and cannot explain how Gåte lifted us up into a magical dark universe, where emotions, pride and primal belonging to our history did to us all. We are so grateful that you out there in the world see our Nordic soul coming from the depths of our hearts through this song to Gåte. Thank you for the wonderful reactions, we are looking forward to Malmö in May!

Oh wow, I bet it was incredible in-person!! Thanks for sharing your experience. Norway can definitely be proud of this entry! 🐺

Norwegian here! Didnt love this when I first heared this, but its growing on me. And the ESC is a song contest (even thow we all know its a show contest). Her vocals are extraordinary. The transitions between head voice and chest voice are immaculate. And I love me some ethnic/folklore vibes. Im glad Norway (representing old Norwegian folk style) sent this one to Europe.

Since you're clearly knowledgeable about singing, I'm curious what you think of Alexandra Rotan's vocals in comparison? She's very good too, but is she better or not? While the right song probably won, I think I personally prefer Alexandra's style. She has such a sweetness to her voice.

I absolutely love that music can bond people together from all over the world, and that YOU sitting on the oposite side of the globe from us Norwegian and watch our Eurovision is amazing. Now Australia joins us, when will NZ be a part of these fun? Thank you for the great reaction, love from Norway

[@kiwivision100]

Thanks for a lovely comment! We completely agree.

Gåte = Riddle, Ulveham = Wolf skinwalker. The song is about a girl who was cursed by her stepmother to live in the forest as a wolf. One day she sees her stepmother in the woods and eats her, and she was pregnant, so as she drinks her brother’s blood, the curse is lifted.

[@susannradal9303]

Gåte are amazing and i knew they would win when i heard they had entered Eurovision. Keiinos song was just not good enough and did not speak to the soul.

[@kollixlovesmej]

Hope Estonia and Finland are doing the same thing in their national final. 🎉

[@kiwivision100]

Ooh yes! Who are you cheering for?

[@bucketslash11]

my MGP voting pattern: Gothminister (SF1) - Gåte (SF2) - Mistra(SF3) - Gothminister (Finale) yes i like rock

[@kiwivision100]

Hehe, love the consistency! 🤘

[@evahelen3511]

I dont like Norway song Ulveham from Gåte . Horrible lyric and to mutch screaming . Many people are not aware of what she actually sings, which in my opinion is a cruel text from the old days. And i am from Norway ! The text copied from newspaper about the song. She summarizes "Ulveham", based on an old medieval ballad, as the story of an evil stepmother who casts a curse on her stepdaughter - who turns into a wolf running in the forest forever. She only loses her wolf's hide if she drinks her own brother's blood. "There will be a kind of happy - but cruel - ending when she meets the stepmother on horseback in the forest, throws herself at her, rips out her heart and drinks the blood. Because the stepmother is pregnant with her brother - thereby the curse is lifted.

The worst song of all who participated in the Norwegian MGP.! almost like listen to Opera (horror music.!)

[@kiwivision100]

Haha, have to disagree there!! But you’re totally entitled to that view. Who were you cheering for?
