The enthusiasm I share definitely. For me, Carl Espen has definitely got it right.
With the song, the video and to the performance (in the semifinals and in the finals), he has certainly reached many hearts.
Note just how he suddenly pulls long in the middle of the song in his performance the sounds old Swede
(Pardon, Norwegians!). In the video, it varies little ups and downs, the song seems almost boring at first.
But then the rise in the music and his voice attracts suddenly you think: Now it happens!
He has a calm and pleasant way, a tower of strength. The expressive eyes, his mouth, which produces such sounds, (does not grow me something unfortunately!) Surrounded by this beautiful beard, eye-catching.
The comparison with the winner, I find unfair. As one would compare apples and pears.
Carl goes more in the direction Rea Garvey.
"Conchita Wurst" is a fictional character that has no equal even investigated and now finds from stars like Cher and Elton John attention. Since real what can be out of it.
That night was for many so some wrong. First, I have at least seen Norway at number 5, Montenegro landed completely undeserved in 19th place, still behind the schnarchigen number of us! Otherwise Serbia had (including Montenegro indeed a time belonged), consistently good rankings. And Cetkovic was not a bit worse than colleague Joksimovic. If you close your eyes, they sound even equal.
Hope Carl makes an album. There is a video of him at a press conference, he sings of Katy Perry "Roar".
That leaves you wanting more. Maybe he sings not only with falsetto, but is rocky and puts a little dirt in the voice as Martin Kesici that time.
Espen, you have what it takes real.
