Norwegian-Sámi band KEiiNO represented Norway in Eurovision 2019 with Spirit in the sky, and won the viewers vote. KEiiNO News Net provides you with news, translated articles, and much more, to reach international fans.
On Saturday and during the weekend, a total of 908,000 people realized that Carina Dahl had to leave “Battle of the Stars” in the semifinals.
In comparison, there were 526,000 who saw that it was Royane Harkati who went out out of “Shall we dance” the week before the quarterfinals.
The audience numbers last weekend were 861,000 for “Battle of the Stars” and 491,000 for “Shall we dance”.
What a magical evening
Is Alexandra for real? Or is she a figment of our wishful imaginations?
Nine Saturdays in a row, Alexandra Rotan has now blown us over with her talent. Saturday after Saturday, she overdid herself from the Saturday before, and more than a few times did she leave both audience and judges in tears.
Of course we knew she was great, but over the weeks she has grown even further, and she may not have a professional musical education behind her like so many others, but giving her the stamp PROFESSIONAL would be appropriate after this.

Oh my god it’s Armageddon
I just saw a demon in the park
All I see is stars
and I feel it in my heart
I’m all ready now, Celestial
Hey, it’s just the end of time
If you wear those pants up to the door
They will let you in
cause you wear them like a sin
I’m all ready now, Celestial
The process:
Just days before the deadline, the magic that sent Tom Hugo Hermansen to Eurovision arose
The melody line fell into his head one summer day in 2015. For the next three years, producer and songwriter Tom Hugo Hermansen pondered how it could be used.

I was a fool
Tom Hugo & Alexandra Rotan
Alexander Nyborg Olsson
Tell me all the stories
From when we were young
And how we danced all night
We were always dreaming
Would follow the lights
Back when they were so bright
Show me all the sunsets
We lost in the west¨when we were beautiful
Tell me all the mornings
We swam in the lake
Were unforgettable
I remember waiting for you
By the train
I remember
Losing my mind
I was so young when we met – I was a fool
Darling, I’m still foolish and I can’t forget
I was a fool – was a fool
I thought you were cruel when you left – I was a fool
Darling, now the memories are all I have left
I was a fool – was a fool
I still see you laughing
With all of the boys
You were the gorgeous one
I still hear you crying
You said you were lost
And you would always run
Last night I was walking
Alone in the rain
I thought I saw your face
At the bar by the station
Right next to the lake
That was our favourite place
I remember waiting for you
By the train
I remember
Losing my mind
I was so young when we met – I was a fool
Darling, I’m still foolish and I can’t forget
I was a fool – was a fool
I thought you were cruel when you left – I was a fool
Darling, now the memories are all I have left
I was a fool – was a fool
I was so young when we met – I was a fool
Darling, I’m still foolish and I can’t forget
I was a fool – was a fool
I thought you were cruel when you left – I was a fool
Darling, now the memories are all I have left
I was a fool – was a fool
I was a fool – was a fool
I was a fool – was a fool
For the past four Saturdays, Alexandra has knocked us over with her fullhearted energetic performances in the Norwegian TV battle show, “Battle of the Stars” (Stjernekamp).
With the first category being POP, she started out with her KEiiNOfied version of Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”, which she afterwards released as a solo single through all streaming and music-shopping platforms online. A fantastic performance where we had the pleasure of hearing her hit the high notes with her ever so strong and beautiful voice.

Tom, your new song “Without You” is about that special feeling when you go out to party in the evening and get to know someone. What does that mean to you?
It’s a great feeling and certainly familiar to many. Especially when you are on the go, travelling around, exploring new places and cities, you experience it again and again. My boyfriend and I met this way too.

KRISTIANSAND: – Forty per cent of queers in Sørlandet (Southern area) wish they could be more open about their sexual orientation than they are. We hope this project will help make it a little less dangerous to stand up, says Tom Hugo Hermansen.

Under normal circumstances, I would not be able to go very far from home so I never thought I would be going to see KEiiNO playing live unless they were playing on the lawn in front of my house. But because a little bunch of absolutely amazing people have chipped in in different ways, a huge dream is now all of a sudden coming true, more or less out of the blue, and I am now going to Kristiansand later today, to be at the KEiiNO concert at Bendiksbukta at 7pm. Am I happy? YES.
