Norway - "Haba Haba (Little by Little)" - Eurovision Song Contest 2011 - BBC One

[Papagaio1994]

Born this way - Lady gaga x'DD AHHAHAHAHA

[NinaBuu94]

It's very cool song! I like it ! It makes me dance :D Kisses from Serbia :*

[EdelGarstad]

I think this song is okay, I don't love it, but I don't hate it. The only thing that bothers me is that she sings in Swahili when she's representing Norway. The color of her skin doesn't matter, but she is after all representing NORWAY, so I think she should at lest pretend like she knew that...

[BPMarionette]

I enjoy this song. It's catchy. It's colorful. And she's singing about her culture. However, therein lies the problem. She singing about HER culture, not the culture she's now living in. I do agree it's a song suited for contests, but not the Eurovision contest as a representation for Norway. I believe that if you will be singing for a country, sing for that country. What better way to say, "This is where I am and this will always be home" than by singing about it?

2cents-

[Skemmdarvargur1]

@BPMarionette COMPLTETELY agree. It's Eurovision not Africavision

[FilCroft]

@BPMarionette While Russia is represented by an American-styled song written by a Swedish/Morrocan songwriter..what a piece of Russian culture.

I love when countries are represented by something close to them, something reflecting them culture, but I doubt it can be even done nowadays..

[upcomingstripper]

idk what some of you guys are talking bout but this is a really nice and catchy song. I LOVE IT!! :^). just because this is a Norway show doesn't mean ppl gotta sing in their language.

[curtismitchell1000]

wow I'M HORRIFIED!

[sweetxheart18x]

so what language is she singing?

[Hnchmchl85]

@sweetxheart18x Swahili.

[BT7Teejay]

What is she saying in norwegian?

[Hnchmchl85]

@BT7Teejay In the beginning she says: "Oh, let me see you dance now!"

In the middle of the song she says: "Come on!" And in the end she says: "Thank you very much."

[IrishKeshiHead]

@BT7Teejay It's swahili..

[Haleysama12]

I love it

[Channah3000]

I wanna have her clothes xD

[perlmaker]

good song, sexy girl, but norway isn't africa!

[bffnorway]

I love this girl, she is always happy and smiling.

She actually rap, and does not sing that much. i love u stella !

i am from norway in fact, so fuck you racists !!!

[GothicCookiesAndMilk]

I don't care if she's black or white - She can sing and it's an amazing song! Just enjoy the music people!

[lauritasaade]

sorry but this song isn't a plagiarism of waka waka...waka waka is a plagiarism of this /watch?v=vSP1BvWwEJA

and azerbaijan is another one ATMOC KITTEN lat goodbye

only cheaters can win...shame

[ecl411]

@logamac Incorrect.

[logamac]

@ecl411 Do you listen to beyounce and nicole sherzinger?

[yakuthedemon]

She is beautiful~

[eekworthywoozle]

I love this song, but it does seem more African than Norweigan. I don't mean the singer, but the song itself..

[BinkyBri]

it looks like her earrings are jamaican colors.....

#Confused

[Ept109]

@BinkyBri Jamaican colors would be yellow green and black. her earrings have red, making them Rasta colors.

[BinkyBri]

it looks like her earrings are jamaican colors.....

#Confused

[Rhyzller]

OUR KENYAN GIRL!!!!!! yeah thats ryt, shez kenyan, just like Obama :)

[SlaughterTheFrail]

"ERRYTHANG I LOOK FO. "

No. Just no.

[logamac]

@SlaughterTheFrail She is a black girl. XD thats how they sing.

[lopakasail]

@logamac an utterly shallow analysis of her musical talent

[logamac]

@lopakasail But I like her. :l

[mightydillo]

Haba haba, Hakuna Matata!

[RainCloudsAhead1]

Whoa, whoa. Everyone just needs to calm the fuck down. Just shut up and enjoy the music. If you don't like it STFU and GTFO.

[summermeitschi]

bloody hell! Norway, where have your good songs and great voices gone? Girl, you can't sing! Sorry...

[scorpioninpink]

.,this is the very reason why norway is being attack by their own citizen... multiculturalism destroys a cultutre!!!

[AwkwardAssassin]

@scorpioninpink That sounds very racist.... Culture is culture no matter looks or where you come from. I'm American and I'm not a cowboy or fat does that make america's culture destroyed? No. Stop being such a prick and love everyone for their differences. How did racism and culture even start?! This is just a fun and cute song. Drop it everyone and enjoy the music.

[scorpioninpink]

@AwkwardAssassin honestly, even if that sound racist i'm just telling the truth... anyway, i like her song and her voice but i'm just telling the truth about how most norwegian think... or at least how my norwegian friends think...

[Ept109]

@scorpioninpink most of the countries in this contest entered with bland pop songs, and a lot of them sounded just the same. Italy entered a jazz number, for Christ's sake. It's not like the Italians invented jazz. At least Norway had the balls to enter a song that HAD a little cultural flavor to it...

[lauritasaade]

LOVE HEEEEEEEEER

[lamprini10t]

hahahahahahhaha

[TheRororomina]

"waka waka"..oh shit.."haba haba..."

[MrsLisaPotter]

I SERIOSLY FRICKING LOVE THIS SONG

[lillicosplayer]

stop with the negative comments this is a great song and you guys know it so be nice i like it a lot -two thumbs up-

[mich4488]

typical norwegian girl :DDD but good song :D

[livince]

@mich4488 hahahaha

[MsKokomojo]

she is exactly what i think of when i think of a Norweigen person.... haha

[Berserk1701]

I don't want to be a bad person, But did your grandma tell you that you suck at singing?!?!?!

[filibe]

True and tipical norwegian beauty,..but can't sing.

[crashtubes]

Thoughts go out to the people in Oslo now.

[LadyGagaChannelVideo]

THIS SONG IT´S A MIX OF: BORN THIS WAY AND WAKA WAKA HAHAHAHA!!!!

[EFYbrotha]

@LadyGagaChannelVideo Yeah no it's not. If anything Born This Way is a take off of this.

[DisgaeaCharm]

i'm quite frankly disturbed by the number of racist comments...

someone's skin colour does not represent their nationality, nor does their race.

a coloured woman can be born in Scotland, that does not make her African. where you're born is your nationality, not where your roots are....honestly...

[UFCUFC2008]

@DisgaeaCharm its not racist say this woman not looks norwegian

[AdeoF]

@DisgaeaCharm that is not 100% true all of my family are from spain 100% blood and i was born in the UK so that means im not spainish or i am

[StepaniM]

@DisgaeaCharm Yes, I agree entirely. But this situation's slightly different. She moved to Norway at a young age, and rather than adapting to the culture, instead brandishes that of her own left and right. The album that song is from deals with lyrics around her homeland, the situations in Kenya, discrimination, etc. That alone is alright, but she goes out and INTERNATIONALLY REPRESENTS Norway with a song about all that, with music with African influences, and sung in Swahili. Hence criticism.

[Skemmdarvargur1]

@DisgaeaCharm Not really. That only applys to Immigrated countries such as Australian, America, Brazil, Canada, where that's a Nationality and not a race. But when you refer to countries such as China, Germany, France & NORWAY, where all these countries share a distinct set of DNA, it's not just a Nationality, but a race. Nothing about this beautiful lady, but she is not Norwegian

[emmatimander]

why born this way??

[Tadas7891]

nice!!!



[LisaLinnea99]

a mix with born this way and waka waka :)

[marsha5717]

@LisaLinnea99 ya sounds like it

[PiinkLadiie6]

I LOVE U!!!!!!!<3

[MrLee507]

CHILDISH SONG!!!!

but i love it!!!!! <3 from MALTA!!

[Hinakura1]

Her voice is beautiful ^^

[PiinkLadiie6]

Loooooooove this song! Her voice..muahh! Love it! and love the dance moves..i love Everything about this song! So sorry that u diddnt came in ESC! :(

[StepaniM]

Look, I like this song. I watch the video, and I admire the creativity, the fun summery music, the inspirational lyrics (which I can understand,) and a bit of Haba haba baby!....... but then I look above the video and see 'Norway' and think 'HUH?!'

[Sk88p]

@StepaniM

the only true comment i can agree with. Shame it didnt make it to the finals.  Guess the song was too basic anyway

[go72ko]

Non-offensive message.. Europe instead of losing yourself in the fake enjoynments and modern questions of someones emancipation, or what ever social questions, go look for partners among your nations and make babies at least three, if you don't want to disappear in 20 years.If you are dumb to understand that , prepare to serv the SHARIA in about 20 years.Councel of Europe discuss this a little more.Christian values and my beautiful European domestic race. I don't want to see you suffer&dissapear

[somrazy3]

@go72ko you are stupid macedonian racists. you are not white either. get off ur horse.

[xBoy015]

THE BEST SONG OF EUROVISION 2011 !!!

Greetz from The Netherlands ;)

[christos2487]

I BELIEVE HOW IT IS THE WORST SINGER IN HISTORY ESC

[vbotond9]

.......norway? really?

[kaan921]

skjønner fortsatt ikke at Norge tapte.. Var jo en av verdens storfavoritter og mest views på youtube.

[thanx4thememoryz]

I like this a lot! Very loyal to the spirit of Eurovision!

[LizzyMrs]

i like this song :)

[AicentBlaichez]

Why does everyone focus on the fact that she is black, She grew up in Norway and it is her home so why must we focus on the colour of her skin ?

[go72ko]

@AicentBlaichez Because this is contest of the countries of Europe and their cultures...If you noticed this is black lady singing central African melody..whats the relation with Norway??? If worldvision I would understand , but this is too much... Europe is desintegrating huh...

[karitooyy]

is she representing norway or kenya..idk

[AicentBlaichez]

@karitooyy norway

[Withmark]

Wow, I didn't know Norway was an African country! The more you know.

[AicentBlaichez]

@Withmark she grew up in norway . And so in culutral and legal terms she is norwegeian.

[go72ko]

@AicentBlaichez Where did you see or hear ANYTHING Norwegian here?

[bCAddicted]

HABA HABA POUTSA STA KIMATA (HABA HABA DICK IN THE WAVES)

[derekutca]

[adidasfreak1997]

Haba Haba

[flensburgcrime]

Ich find das lied perfekt..

für mich ist sie die gewinnerin :D

[vaggelisjr]

@bCAddicted xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa...poutsa sta kimata leei.............xD

[xXGreenadeXx]

4 female singers. 1 Norwegian as backing vocals.

[HellasLover72]

POUTSA STA KYMATA ????????

XAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXA­XAXA

[samplehunter]

And I thougt autotune isn't allowed at the ESC :)

[mozhus123]

Eurovision singers should only sing in their native languages...the best bit of this song was not English.

Eurovision should be about singers celebrating their culture, language and diversity rather than following the crowd and singing nearly all of it in English.

[MrAndyHaddad]

HAHAHAH LOVE U NORWAY !

This video allways make my day ! Laugf my ass of everytime i hear this spec when se says ' yea yea '

[MrAndyHaddad]

That haircut....... It makes her look like an idiot

[MrMuscleboy14]

Good singer;) and song!! greetings from Finland!

[Cthlhu4President]

@ladygagafan416

in what way?

she's not wearing a dress made of meat or police tape.

[RocketeerAndRoll]

This was one of the three best songs of the contest, and definitely was better than Azerbijan. But then so was everyone.

[TheAnskuDaaw]

She's so pretty and her voice is sooo magic and beatyful. I like!

[Willemyna]

That's the mixture of origins!!

without doubt that Norwegians love these beats ... this song puts the heat in their countries :) i think it's one of the better songs of the year!!! i give 12 points from the south France ^^

[holdenutegirl]

This song is better than half of the ones that got through. But hey thats eurovision for you!

[Silmarylia]

I forgot to say, it sound like ''waka waka''. Shakira should be nervous.

[20BogdanovicSERBIA]

Goooooooood :)))))))))))))))

[Bigsnake210]

So this song represent Norway? i guess that nation is lost, it's not europe anymore.

[GoldStoneJB]

I think this song is so funny :)

[Lulylisera20]

can't understand why Norway,a country that I love(and I'm not Norwegian,just Italian),that has history,talent and musical tradition,chosed to take this afro-shit at the eurovision...I hope to see some NORWEGIAN and not afrikaan song next time!!!!

[miss19001]

@Lulylisera20 I agree. I really don' have anything against african music but I think that norway should send something that represent our culture like alexander rybak in 2009 and secret garden in 1995. The song only won because it's catchy.

[ena1rume]

@Lulylisera20 it's not afrikaan! and defintely not shit!

[Lulylisera20]

@ena1rume yes...that's not afrikaan...the sound,the language,the style...it's all 100%Norwegian!!!!come on,it doesn't represent Norway,this is as a song that's clearly inspired by the Kenia-style(that is her REAL country!!!)...but if you want to believe that this is norwegian culture(and not afrikaan),do it...i don't care!!!

...and in my opinion this definitely IS shit...for me this song is really shitty!!!!

[thleyelthy]

@Lulylisera20 but stella is hot ^^

[Lulylisera20]

@thleyelthy i really prefer Norwegan girls!!! ;-)

[ena1rume]

@Lulylisera20 okay, fine. It's African not Afrikaan, two very different things. Anyway, eurovision 2011 is history already, so let's move on.

[Lulylisera20]

@ena1rume fine...excuse me...but i'm not english,so i'm not a perfect speaker!!! ;-)

[uclrichard]

two points:

it's a complete rip-off of 'saturday night' by whigfield;

norway is in europe - not africa

[firrefisk2]

@uclrichard So true!:O

[tekinak007]

hot hot hot hot hot hot

[lovemolkoplacebo]

It's just soooo niice! Charming, cheerful, dancy... perfent! It's just cute. I love it! Greetings rom Hungary!

[jajjathebest]

OOO THIS SONG IS SO GOOD! LOVE IT! HUGGS TO NORWAY FROM SWEDEN! :)<3

[PaPu134]

i just love it!!!! so cheerful and lovely!!

[TheAzerilove]

i like this song specially for its ritm.but lyrics -haa haaa but it makes people dance.really fun music.but after alexandr rybak i didnt wait this song(funny)

[TheAzerilove]

i liked the ritm of this song.fist i thought that it is spain.but then saw it is written norway.this song doesnt suit with eurovision standarts.it seems to me that some europian countries dont pay attention to eurovision contest.beacause often they sent to eurovision funny,boring songs.

[swoopledom]

If I'm stupid, I'd probably think Norway's promoting its beaches and warm climate. lol. I like the song. haha.

[bCAddicted]

In Greece This Song Is Really Famous!!!! Cause The Part ''Haba Haba Hujaza Kibaba'' In Greek Sounds Like ''Poutsa Sta Kimata'' (Dick In The Waves) hahahahahahahahahah Soooooo It's Really Famous

[Jordache22222]

@bCAddicted LOL! "Putza" means the same in Romanian :D. Nice song though!

[FanOfRudyLenners]

[slovenskimakedonac]

No offence it might be a quality song, but isnt the Eurovision meant to share European cultures? Is this Norway showing Norwegian culture?

Or is it wrong for me to expect that now-a-days. -.-

But i gues she would do fine in the music-bizz, but this is Eurovision as far as i know.

[raileanulucian]

damn...it's getting hot in Norway.

[NiamhyyBeanss]

no wonder it didnt get through... i like it dont get me wrong, but i really doesnt represent norway... more like africa..

[Fanni9962]

habaa habaa :DD ♥

[tati33344]

12 points from cuba and africa!

[chrisah1]

yes, the rhythm, harmony, intonation, bass continuo/percussion, instrumentation and emphasis are not particularly norwegian at all. Eurovision is not just about a good song - but also to demonstrate the nation's culture. In fact none of it is Norwegian. Hence not a great score..........but it is a GREAT song with a beautiful singer - at least Rybak tried to be Norwegian.

[anablerun]

lol is her voice autotuned?

[missLieman]

@SwedenArise In Sweden we do not have a problem with overpopulation, because the older generations have not produced enough children who can take care of the country they have buld. So it is in fact very importent to Sweden to take in as much immigrants as we can so our society still function in 15 years. And I just wan´t to say that there are only a few procent of the terrorism in Europe who is done by muslims, and I must say that I am often more scared of some christiens then of muslims.

[SwedenArise]

@missLieman Well yes we would need more SWEDISH people.. If you look at Swedens demographic history we have had many problems with the Population but we have still have made it trough those times.. Low educated muslims is the last thing we need.. We should just change the familly politics so it will be easier to have more childrens in our society.. Maybe not all Muslims are terrorists.. But almost every Terrorist is Muslim..

[go72ko]

@SwedenArise Thanks God if you understand your problem. Europeans are so neglecting towards their survival as a race. Nordics are beautiful but so dumb in this question. You don't born kids anymore and import Asians Afrikans totaly diferent culture to do birth and work for you. But, you will pay the price in 15 years very soon. They give birth to maaany kids and their law is stronger then any European law. Be aware if you don't start making babies right away, we are all screwed. I am Macedonian.

[MUSICMYONLYDRAG]

at first I thought it's a cover for Born This Way....

[jrofeta]

If you just listened to the music without see any images or knowing where it was from you'd think this was song was from the African continent, so it isn't a surprise that when entered into a European music contest it didn't do well. But credit to Norway for putting in something that was unique from all the other entries.

[KorneliasDemon]

I Love this song ! love from the girls in spain

[luviuuu]

i really like it..

[malene5555]

How could she have won in Norway?? I really likes Norway but i hates her..

[ryckaxd]

autotune much

[WinxRockstar]

haba haba this time for afrika

waka waka hujaza kibaba

[PatchworkDuckie]

Stop with all the hate guys! I love this song no matter where it got its idea from, nothing is completely original!

So enjoy the song, or go watch something else.

[MrBanankartong]

Why could this come to the final?

[silvena86]

" when I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be,

will I be pretty, will I be rich, here's what she said to me:

Que sera, sera, whatever will be will be,

this music is not yours to steal,

neither are these lyrics...."

[magicstorm1]

Im not being racist but... its weird an African descent is a Norwegian 0.0

[1234567891234382]

ha hou ha ha aa o my  ....

[matteobava]

Total playback... She is not even singing...

[WinxRockstar]
