[lsksupporter]

Norges vakreste

[SuperViking14]

wow that lady playing the instrument is like a magician :D she moves so fast

[hermanessences]

Du vet det er noe alvorlig galt med menneskeheten når den jævla Haba Haba-styggedommen vinner over dette her!?!?

[dwells0nit]

Helene has the voice of an angel! She sings from her soul, so beautiful.

[jologes]

I really enjoyed with the instrument girl who dissapear and appear again into another place ^^

[TheCarewicz]

Very good song, very beautiful singer.

[jbetoken]

Yup, I'm in love :)



[trabzonstyle12]

Wow. GREAT

[tanghil007]

jævla habahaba møkk.. dette er jo EPIC!

[chileepengwin]

Very good song. :D

[Bogdanhere]

[TheNBApitbulls]

...die Frau ist einfach unglaublich! Hammer STIMME!!!

[Ikazu1991]

she is a goddess if they would send her she would win so many russian and german people love here

[MySlutz]

@morradiermann90 forteller meg litt om folka som ser på dette :p

[beemer57100]

@MySlutz Hva forteller det ?

[MySlutz]

@morradiermann90 forteller meg litt om folka som ser på dette :p

[UnicornHorses]

Hjelp. Får frysninger som faen. ;o

[Elg1no]

HabaHaba ..... :(



[Leviathan3666]

So pretty i love this song

[manzacom]

in which language is she singing? i guess in norwegian but... in which of the 2 dialects?

[Thelargir]

@manzacom there are more than 2 dialects... :P You are referring to our 2 variants of written language. Shes got a southwestern dialect.

[manzacom]

@Thelargir i refered if she is singing in bokmål or nyorsk

[vonlubcke]

@manzacom dude, she is singing, not writing....

[Thelargir]

@manzacom well, i guess you can say shes singing in "nynorsk", but since that is a written language, it isnt really possible.

[Darkpaint84]

have been puzzled about this text, trying to make sense of its deeper meaning. Looking at the lyrics it seems to me that it may be a song of protection, to ward off evil spirits, or specifically Fryktesangen (The Song of Fear). The word vard is similar to the english word ward, meaining protection of some kind. But my theory depends on the last point being that it means that OR that she fears the song: Eg Frykte sangen). after all in norse times magic were performed through song. only a theory

[friluftshund]

@Darkpaint84 Provided you speak Norwegian you'll get a nice insight to the meaning of this song on heleneboksle.no

[CorriganDK]

I want to get married in that outfit... oh my!..

And this is such a beautiful song- how this didn't make it as Norway's finalist this year I will never understand...

[TheLuflee]

Still listening this song!

Enjoyed every moment!

[teddyen28]

@Honeysucklebommie You're welcome =)

[teddyen28]

maybe not a perfect translation, but hope you understand

[Honeysucklebommie]

@teddyen28  Thanks :-)

[teddyen28]

Vardlokk

Soul Calling Song*

Now the women are calling for the song

They ask me to send my soul out

The power of the song I learned long ago

To spin a thread, call to the spirits to respond

[teddyen28]

I fear that the song will flood my senses

I shy away from the power of each note

They say the chant can form a circle

Where we two can reconcile once again to dance

Dreaming, winding you in

Time's web is set

The volva** is waiting in the innermost circle

Demanding that my soul sing the way for her

I shall sing and fasten my stitches

Find you among the spirits

[teddyen28]

* Vardlokk doesn't have a direct translation. It's adapted from "varde", meaning to set road markers, and "lokk" meaning a calling-song.

** The song is based on Old Norse folk tales of a "volva", a shamanic seeress. Legends told that they could send their soul into the world of spirits with the help of a circle of chanting women. When it was time for the seeress to return, a woman would sing a "vardlokk" in order to make sure the seeress' soul would be safely returned to her body.

[neckronn99]

Lovely voice, not her best song, though, and I don't think the curls were working for her.

And, oh, boy, am I staying out of the Norwegian dialect argument.... :).

[venicenow]

@hornvin: I do not agree with you. People in the East of Norway understand the dialect of other parts of Norway. The language is still Norwegian, only the dialects are different and can be hard to understand. Helene seems to be singing Nynorsk.

[Redrrock]

Thx Norway,that you not sending her to the Esc.so the other countrys have a choice too win the contest,

she has one of the bests voices that i ever hear,this song is great,but she has better ones to,like the dreaming-mitt land or natta vi har,most of us did not understand what she sing,but we can feel it,thx norway for this musican

greets from switzerland

[amhaglos]

She can sweep me off to Valhalla anytime she likes.

[MrHednah]

What kind of instrument is that girl playing? :S

- Norwegian Esc-fan

[Birdizzz]

@MrHednah Langeleik

[Alphahumphrey2011]

No preview video yet?

[togsang]

No kalle kvinnene saman te sang dei ber meg sende mine gander krafta i kvadet eg lærde ein gang spinne tråd, lokke så ander gjer klang Frykte sangen vil fløyma min sans Kvie for makta i kvar tone Dei seie lokken vil danna ein krans Der me to atter forsone te dans Drøyme. Vinde deg inn. Tia fer sitt spinn. Volva vente i innerste ring Krev at eg varde ho med gander Eg ska kvea og festa mitt sting finna deg blant ander

Here the lyrics

[Leifang12]

This should have represented Norway at ESC 2011!!!

[MrHednah]

I'm Norwegian, and I don't understand a lot of what she is singing... ^^'

BUT the song is awesome! ;D

[monequu]

@MrHednah stakkars deg, hvordan skal du klare deg rundt om i norge hvis du ikke forstår dialekt...

[MrDanyal974]

@MrHednah what? isn't she singing in norwegian

[hornvin]

@MrDanyal974 She is singing norwegian, but in norway, the language is very different from place to place. Most people have no problem understanding each other, but people from the east of norway, who speak the most boring norwegian you could ever imagine ( its closer to danish than original norwegian) do not understand the language from other places in the country.

[MrDanyal974]

@hornvin ok i didn't know thanks a lot ;)

[olden89c]

@hornvin Do you really believe that or are you just lying? People from Eastern Norway speak many different dialects as well you damn fool! We understand other dialects just fine, thank you very much!!!

[kmzzzzz]

@MrDanyal974 It is Norwegian, i can understand it perfectly. She isnt singing in my dialect tho. Maybe he`s just awful at understanding vocal sounds ^^

[MrDanyal974]

@kmzzzzz thanks ;)



[ZnasArual]

My favourite song in MGP 2011...

It's better that Haba Haba. Well, I think so...

[mrholyday]

This is Great. Feel our roots from where we became.

I just Love what you are doing helene.

[IngridMarieEK]

I am from Norway myself, and this song is truly beautiful. When I hear it, a picture of the amazing norwegian nature, takes me away!-3 It makes me proud of being norwegian, and I'm only 16!

[mcntkn]

I am from Turkey and this song is give on the creeps to me, loves to beautiful Norge! :)

[iglesiassr11]

If she had been chosen , norway would have been in the top 5 .

Shame on you norwegians , shame on you cause you did not show your own european , scandinavian beauty.

...

Greetings from macedonia <3

[niki89m]

@iglesiassr11 you probably mean FYROM ;)

[iglesiassr11]

@niki89m

double shame on you..

Yes , we are FYROM .. but we , the macedonians are 100x times more smarter,kinder and a nice nation , comparing to you ..

you are not even slavs ,you are just civilizated gypsies ;)

Everything that had been ours , will be our once again ;)

inclding the most beautiful part of bulgaria , pirin macedonia :*

[niki89m]

@iglesiassr11 keep dreaming... bwe are not gypsies, the romanians are, but don`t forget that your fellows the albanians fuck your women ;) and you ARE from FYROM... not macedonia. macedonia is an area in bulgaria. learn some geography and then say from where you are, serbo-albanian piece of shit.

[iglesiassr11]

@niki89m

hmm ..

I dont know about it .. albanians are 500.000 in macedonia , and they are civilizated nation now ..

and you .. I am truly sad , but you have over 900.000 gypsies.. :( :(

and the language that you talk , it's not bulgarian , Is a version of macedonian language in a gypsy way.

[iglesiassr11]

@niki89m

and if I need to learn geography , you need to learn a elementary level of balkanic history , not to mention that pirin macedonia , agean macedonia , that now , are not ours , WERE OUR .AND THEY ARE STILL.

the ppl that live in petrich, Kjusdengil , Sandanski ..

THEY ARE ASIMILATED MACEDONIANS

MY GRANDPA HAS A HOUSE IN PETRICH WITH PAPERS.

i am pretty sorry but have just defeated you at anything.

:*

[niki89m]

@iglesiassr11 Really? My grandmother is from Bitola and she never, NEVER said that she is macedonian as ethnicy, she always said that she is bulgarian. The truth is that macedonian ethnicy doesn`t exist ;)

You aren`t so much different then you wish to be, that is your mental problem.

I will enjoy the beautiful song sanged by this beautiful norwegian singer and wont bother

to answer a donkey anymore.

At least the greeks fucked you hard ;)

[iglesiassr11]

@niki89m

We will see about that , Infact you replied to my comment , in which you were not even mentioned !

that shows your culture and education and dignity.

[tophblindbender]

@iglesiassr11 Make a forum and discuss this, this is not a relevant comment to this video :]

[TheSjpower]

how the fuck did this not go to eurovision?? it's so norwegian!

[ThePolarOObear]

@TheSjpower it really is the epitome of nordic/norwegian, indeed! she looks and sounds like a valkyrie. ja, vi elsker dette landet! frelse på norge

[Eyeball86x]

@TheSjpower Because that show is not worthy of her?

[thequeenofthesun]

what a boring song, im so sick and tired of norwegian folks songs, but i agree that Stella didnt reprecent norway in any way neither. Lets hope for a better song next year.

[Onnarashi]

@thequeenofthesun Jeg foretrekker mitt folks kultur fremfor alt det amerikanske popmølet og rap-pisset som drittungene hører på nå til dags. Kanskje det er deg det er noe galt med? Og hvordan kan du påstå at det er for mye folkemusikk??? Det er jo ikke noe annet enn rap-møl og dårlig dritt-pop på skjermen døgnet rundt, ala bimboer som Brooke Hogan og annet som bare selger sex og tankeløst visvas. Jeg savner kvalitetsmusikk, istedenfor blekede blondiner og silikon som tyter ut over skjermen.

[thequeenofthesun]

@Onnarashi smaken er som baken vettu, du gav meg i allefall en god latter med din kommentar..lol

[toretann]

*all biscuits go into hiding*

[TheKirderf]

when i heard this kind of music it chills into my nerve.............

[thrainful]

Shame on you Norge!!!Helene was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!

[rabagast19]

Not only is this better than Haba Haba, it would've harvested lots of points from the bbw-lovers out there. I'm thinking Germany would burst their cell network.

[2011nimh]

Thsi would had gone to the final top 10 for sure.

[miamigal71]

Norway got what they deserved not sending this.

[Stianlolz]

@miamigal71 , u think it was better to send a monkey with haba haba ?

[nata541]

@miamigal71

[Stianlolz]

@miamigal71 , and u can go fuck yourself

[GalicianBanshee]

Europe wants Helene instead Stella! Stella is good but Helene is GREAT!

[Imak3]

Stella kom ikke til den store finalen, ser visst ut som om nordmenn er for opptatt med moderne musikk. Denne sangen er sånn typisk norsk, og minner om Norge fra 1995. De vant hele greia. Hadde vært så sykt kult om denne sangen kom til den store finalen, hadde stemt så sykt..

[xXScarletButterflyXx]

Norwegians have lost it when they prefer Haba Haba over this. Makes me ashamed to live here, what if people think I'm Norwegian? DX

[TheCarambah]

Hvorfor har man stengt kommentarfeltet til Haba Haba og ikke de andre?

[Wowkugen]

Gave up Norway in Eurovision Song Contest last year, when Didrik Solli Tangen won the Norwegian contest. We could've won the whole shit if Keep of Kalessin got voted up to the top, not only because Norway is the birthplace of Death Metal, but because it's UNIQUE. If we are to send someone to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, why don't we pick someone who actually says "THIS IS NORWAY" when listening to the song? You don't find anything more norwegian than folk songs and death metal.

[Bluekikki]

@Wowkugen Amen to that!

[daffeogbillan]

En vinner Sang!

[ExtremeProductionsHD]

haha, jeg driter i MGP uansett......

[1986avatar]

norway wont to win this year this festival....i cant find other reasson for habba habba and not this song..... is simple amazing...!!!!!

[m3g1]

Jeg er ikke norsk, men jeg synes det er litt patetisk, at ikke hun er med i stedenfor hun haba haba, sponser norge med africansk sang.. For virker det litt rart:)

[Bluekikki]

@m3g1 Jeg er norsk, og jeg synes også det var veldig rart at Haba Haba gikk videre i stedenfor Vardlokk. :b

[pjedsted46]

Den klart bedste af alle norske bidrag i år, hvordan det lykkedes Habba habba ???? at vinde er mig en gåde, Norway 0 points for Habba, 12 points for Helene :)

[europeer]

Nydelig stemme, særegen melodi og ja, siden man tross alt skal representere Norge så hadde nok denne vært mer "norsk" enn habba habba..På den andre siden er det stadig flere nordmenn som både ser ut som og synger habba habba nett som Stella og det var kanskje ideen?

Så, hudfarge, tradisjon osv, uansett, denne dama KAN synge, flott, kraftig stemme og stort spekter i den uansett låt, hun burde vunnet ;-) Hilsen flerkulturell nordmann.

[dubluni]

denne låten skulle jo representert, vakker budeie som synger en vakker norsk sang på norsk... :) å jeg er norsk colombianer! Gåte, Helene Bøksle, Ingebjørg Bratland, Valkyrien allstars.... NORSK STOLT vakker lyd <3

[Pissefis]

This is what i call a Song,, so perfect...

Haba Haba Norway ;-) I hope you hear my laugh all the way from sweden....

[joaninhafcp9]

Amazing song <3 Reminds me secret garden!!

Should have represent Norway this year <3

[dafer406]

that reminds me te song "the voice" for ireland ........who won in the nineties

[KeeperGER]

Lena is going to this Contest to ... but Helene would win this that´s 4 sure

[KeeperGER]

MrsCasablancas ... i agree why the Norwegian do this ...

[Kayin79]

Why Norway, oh why you did't vote her through? :( I learned about this girl from Age of Conan. The Norwegian siren that gave soul to the lands of Cimmeria. Sending my thanks to Helene from Finland

[AleXy86]

@Kayin79 I learned about her from AoC, too. Has she gained a few kilos? Anyway, awesome voice. Reminds me of Conan. Awesome.

[OrthrusTails]

@AleXy86 well, she looks amazing :) a few more pounds of beauty cant harm :P

[Fucoc]

Denne sangen er fin, men ikkenoe slår Alexander Rybak :D I hvertfall ikke haba haba :P

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare eg e ikkje fordomsfull!

og unnskyld meg for at eg e stolt over dialekten min din banna kødd!!! 

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare sikker på du ikkje aner ka "uvitende" betyr...

synd at du er skuffet over gammel norsk kultur, den e best

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare tenkte akkurat det samme om deg...

det er sykt sjeldent en sånn sang kommer, og at vi ikke sender den videre e helt ubegripelig!

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare tenkte akkurat det samme om deg...

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare eg har et åpent sinn din uvitende lille jævel... som du kan se sa eg bare at det hadde ikke vært så gale å sende videre noe som er/var klassisk norge! eg vet norge er flerkulturert, har indisk og muslimsk venn tyvm.... men om du har så mye imot gammel norsk kultur kan du dra den feite late ræven din vekk og ned til afrika hvor du kan synge HABA HABA!!!!

[plainlake]

klarer ikkje å høre på detta uten å få gåsehud..

[OrthrusTails]

@Ustolbare joda, bare det at afrikansk musikk er afrikansk -.-"

koffor velge noe som e så langt vekke fra gammel norsk kultur som det går ann????

skulle ønske Norge aldri kom helt ut av vikingtiden -.-

[ErikNorseman]

This song should have represented Norway. I suspect Haba Haba was chosen due to political correctness. Vardlokk was yet another victim of multiculturalism.

[mixmaster5000]

Dette er det klart beste innslaget Norge hadde i år!

Kan ikke fatte at folk flest er så dumme...

[GhostisBoo]

Wonderful, so mystic... but norway had a few good finalists. Norway has a good taste!

12 Points from Germany

[twintipskilz]

@GhostisBoo i cant agree with you there. i am from norway and to be honest norway has kinda crapy taste of music sine they choose habba habba and on the norwegian x-factor its always the guys who doesnt get anywhere who wins

[OrthrusTails]

@twintipskilz some people got crappy taste in music, but "haba haba" seems more catchy, and therefore will have a greater shot in ESC than songs with SOUL!!!!

[maya06227]

@TheKluten Jag tycker Habaabaabwhatever, var skitbra! Detta var ju astråkigt...

[BrannaElysia]

Jeg kan ikke fatte og begripe at ikke denne vant... Det er så utrolig vakkert å høre på!

[thrainful]

Helene du er den best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SaNBeanz]

Enchanting song! Actually should have represented Norway!!

[ESCFan2010]

Die Brunhilde ist gut! :-)

[Stianlolz]

@TheKluten , det har du faen meg helt rett i ! I stedenfor å sende Bøksle som representerer Norge på en bra måte, så går jungelfitta videre.. helvete

[Steph9737]

!!!!!! why did norway sent haba haba??? :(

[loveumariell]

really sweet and nice voice and song,

waswish to win helene,,<3

[TrondM]

Jeg fatter virkelig ikke hvorfor denne ikke ble Norges bidrag til MGP i stedet for haba haba.. Er Nordmenn virkelig blitt så tonedøve og så distanserte fra hva som er Norsk musikk??

[ShadowNam275]

Jeg husker Alvedansen, grøss.

[pjallmarbinks]

dama må gå snart på slankekur!

[TrondM]

@pjallmarbinks nei, hun er nydelig

[Nosansinson]

@TheLuflee it was the second best but i really do agree with you :D

[TheLuflee]

@Nosansinson No, the first :D

[TjoheiTjohei]

Til dere som mener Helene burde vunnet, må jeg minne dere på Alvedansen? Dere har NULL peiling på Eurovision. Bare fordi hun synger på norsk, høøøy fem, så er hun automatisk supernorsk og representererer landet vårt på en flott måte.

Dessuten, hun synger LANGT fra feilfritt. Ganske surt der hun går opp på det "heeeeiieeeeeeiiyuijo"

[InweAdina]

@TjoheiTjohei Må jeg minne deg på Nocturne og Fairytale. Norsk folkemusikk til tops!

[Trixxuz]

Noe som sier meg at vinneren ikke vant... Er ikke mulig å kommentere noen av videoene til Stella... ? skjer her NRK? HEI HUN VANT! INGEN KAN KOMMENTERE HENNE?

[OrthrusTails]

@Trixxuz for mange hat kommentarer....

skjønner det når denne burde ha vunnet ;)

[astriumporta]

I think this was a really good song but then again most of them were really good.

[macgiollabuide]

Haven’t a clue what she’s singing about but it’s so much better than Haba Haba - sorry Norway but I hope you didn’t make a mistake! That said I think Haba Haba should do well enough, top 10 at least.

[Villstyringen]

Vardlokk by Helene Bøksle should have won!

[MeFromTheIsland]

Dette var min favoritt, og JEG syns det er Helene Bøksle som burde representert Norge. Men det er IKKE fordi jeg syns Haba Haba ikke er norsk nok, men fordi det ikke er min musikksmak. Dessverre så har rolige sanger dårlig sjanse i Eurovision, så jeg synes egentlig ikke Norge tok et dårlig valg. Er så innmari lei disse rasistkommentarene som finnes overalt nå! Stella Mwangi er talentfull, og Norge er et flerkulturelt land, så shut up.

[okTHB]

Tradisjon er oppskrytt, spesielt norsk tradisjon, vi har nesten ingenting... Denne sangen høres ut som hvilken som helst annen folkevise

[OrthrusTails]

@okTHB MORSOM DU!

norge = gode vokal prestasjoner, norrøn inspirert, fiolin/fele...

du hører LETT om den er norsk eller gresk, research!

[okTHB]

@OrthrusTails Beklager, burde presisert at jeg mente hvilken som helst annen NORSK folkevise. Vet ikke om jeg er enig i at Norge er kjent for spesielt gode vokalprestasjoner (bra ord delings feil forresten), tror ikke de utmerker seg noe særlig sammenlignet med andre land og regioner. Helt på det jevne, som de fleste av oss mennesker skulle jeg tro.

[OrthrusTails]

@okTHB gee så koslig du e....

men norge e best ;)

[okTHB]

@OrthrusTails Tusen takk, velger å se bort ifra den åpenbare sarkasmen :-)

For all del, Norge er et kjempefint land å bo i, mye fint her. Liker meg her jeg hvertfall

[maribor007]

this IS MUSIC and not waka waka you have sended!!!! shame on you norway!

[Totte2109]

But what?

[Noragirly32]

OI! ser dere at hun spille dama plutselig er en annen plass? grøss... :o

[Noragirly32]

typisk norsk det der synes æ

[MrsCasablancas1]

I'm a bit ashamed of being Norwegian this year in Eurovision Song Contest. Here we have this wonderful and amazing Norwegian folk song, that would represent Norway in a perfect way. But instead we send Stella to Düsseldorf.

I DON'T GET IT.

[Bluekikki]

@MrsCasablancas1 Agreed!

[husker23]

@MrsCasablancas1 helene er åpenbart i en klasse lysår foran det som ble valgt til å representere oss i år. det er virkelig synd, og jeg mener hele greia stinker av omvendt rasisme. ironisk nok kan det se ut som rasisme var årsaken til den dårlige oppsluttningen til haba haba. for så dårlig resultat fortjente den heller ikke. verden kommer alltid til å være et forskrudd sted.

[Sunchico]

Jeg er virkelig skuffet over Norge. Her har vi muligheten til å sende et knallbra bidrag med røtter fra norsk folkemusikk/norrøn musikk, og så stemmer vi ikke på dette? Jeg tolker det dithen at Norge ikke lenger er stolte av vår tradisjon og historie. Merk at dette ikke er et angrep på Stella, men istedenfor sier jeg at jeg er skuffet over at vi ikke stemmer på Bøksle.

[OrthrusTails]

Vel, vi må vente lenge på god musikk igjen...

1994 (Secret Garden - Nocturne)

2006 (Christine Guldbransen - Alvedansen)

2011 (Helene Bøksle - Vardlokk)

bør vel få noe bra innen 2015 ikkje sant??

[Eurovision1994]

@OrthrusTails Secret Garden var i 1995

[OrthrusTails]

@Eurovision1994 liten typo...

[Christerk]

@TheKluten Helt enig! DETTE er musikk! Ikke dette habahaba-fjaset vi nå sender videre!

[darkmelancholy]

Helene Bøksle til aller-aller-aller-siste sjanse i MGP-kvalikken! ;)
