Idol Norge 2013: Top 4 Highlights
03 May, 2013 9:20 PM
The unthinkable happened when the wonderfully talented Astrid Smeplass was eliminated after finding herself in the bottom 2 with another insanely talented lady, Astrid Sugaren. 4 remain now and tonight they'll sing two songs each, one being their favourite past Idol performance and the other a duet with a former finalist. Who'll leave us tonight?

Sverre Eide left the competition last week after yet another atrocious performance. Only 5 remain now and tonight they'll be singing original songs, which will then be released. Who'll deliver a hit? Who'll flop miserably?

Idol Norge 2013: Top 6 Highlights
02 May, 2013 10:05 PM
Georg Lipai left the past week after an uninteresting rendition of Keith Urban's "Days Go By". Tonight, the Top 6 take on Norwegian music, which will certainly give us some interesting results. Who'll miss out of next week's Top 5?

Martine Rygvold was our latest casualty leaving after an outstanding Nirvana cover. It's country week tonight with the song list including Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and First Aid Kit. Can you guess who sang what? And yes, only 4 performances this week!

Idol Norge 2013: Top 8 Highlights
8:34 PM
Ola Weel Skram was the unfortunate contestant eliminated last week after singing the unlucky "Ambitions". This week, the contestants take on some of recent year's most iconic songs to some fantastic results. 6 of them made it this week, with the best performances being Carly Rae Jepsen's hit and a Pink Floyd's classic. You don't wanna miss it!

Idol Norge 2013: Top 9 Highlights
7:28 PM
Last week we only saw the girls. 3 great singers and one who had an off week. This week, we take a look at some of the boys, one of them got eliminated but if you ask me, it wasn't much of a loss. Who impressed you the most this week? A certain blond?

Idol Norge 2013: Top 10 Highlights
09 April, 2013 3:59 PM
I'm sorry I've not covered this show so far because I really wanted to. However, I'll try to catch up with it now. After Jenny Langlo won S6, the judges panel was revamped. Joining returning judge Gunnar Greve Pettersen are Esben Selvig and former Idol contestants Tone Damli Aaberge (S3 runner-up) and Kurt Nilsen (S1 winner). There's not much to review this week as most of the contestants were below average. Only 4 girls stood up in my opinion (one not necessarily in a good way) and unfortunately, one of them was sent packing.

Maria Mohn: "Bedtime Story" Out Now!
25 August, 2012 4:53 PM
Idol Norge finalist gone-to-soon Maria Mohn has finally unveiled her post Idol debut single. The 6th place finalist had a quite prolific career prior to the show, releasing her first album, Norwegian sang "Blimed Meg" in 2010. The new single, "Bedtime Story", was released on August 6 with it's music video debuting on August 10. The song is an alluring indie track in the mellow way Maria used to tackle her Idol covers. In the playful music video, which was directed by Linn Marie Christensen, Maria takes on the classic Snow White while looking like a Grecian goddess in an epic blue dress. "Bedtime Story" is a superb tune by one of Norway's most promising artists, I can hardly contain myself while waiting for her album.

Interview: Maria Mohn
23 January, 2012 3:21 PM
One of the most beautiful voices on the latest season of Idol Norge, Maria Mohn was initally positioned as one of the frontrunners but somehow, she starting fading away and was ultimately eliminated in the 6th place. Known for her unique arrengments of popular tunes, Maria was one of my favourites of the season and she left a lasting impression on me with her hearfelt performances. There's no doubt the girl has a lot of talent and with the right songs, she can be a hit in Norway. Below, you'll find an interview we did over a month ago and I thought it was about time I posted it! ... Enjoy!

Interview: Henrik Mortensen
07 January, 2012 8:26 PM
Henrik was our jazzy kid during Idol Norge's latest series. He seemed to be early fodder but he surprisingly made it to the top 4 with his original take on popular songs and his really charming personality. He recently answered some questions for me, and although he was brief with his answers, there are some interesting tidbits about the contestant ...

Interview: Marlen Tjøsvoll
28 December, 2011 3:47 PM
Both the audience and the judges were really critical of Marlen during her Idol Norge run, the truth is that she was pure raw talent and with a little development, the girl could be a fantastic singer. Maybe the judges were scared of her potential? She's got lots of soul and her style was really distinct. Here's my chat with one of my favourites of the season and some interesting things about Marlen, including, what's next for her and Berklee ...

Henrik Mortensen was axed last week, just two weeks before the final. Now only Jenny, Isak and Vegard remain, who have been the frontrunners since the start. Now the finalists will sing two more times, one of the songs picked by their fans. Who'll miss the final? ...

Kirsti Sørlie Hansen was unfairly eliminated after a great performance last week leaving us with our top 4, soul kid Isak, folky Jenny, rocker Vegard and jazzy Henrik. The contestants will sing two songs tonight and the theme of the week is big band! Who'll be eliminated tonight? ...

Maria Mohn was eliminated in last week's episode much to the surprise of everyone. The problem with her was that despite how great her performances were, it ultimately bored the public. Now only 5 remain and another contestant will be leaving us tonight. Who won't make it to the quarter finals?...

Fredrik was eliminated last week (in my yet to write post) after a series of fantastic performances which unfortunately failed to translate to the public. Now the remaining 6 contestants will take on songs from the movies. Who'll be a blockbuster? Who'll be a flop? ...

Interview: Jenny Marlene Nettum
4:26 PM
Jenny wowed everyone with her unique folky sound when we first saw her when she showed up to audition for the latest Idol Norge series and she immediately became one of the frontrunners, ultimately making it to the Top 40. Unfortunately, a combination of early spot and dark song choice ended her run on the show, sending her prematurely home. Jenny recently took some times to answer some questions for us, in which she hinted the possibility to return to the show and what's next for her. Well, I'd say go for it!

Unfortunately, I've not been able to find the videos for this week show. I'll update the post as soon as I found it.
Marlen Tjøsvoll was eliminated last week, ironically, after her best vocal performance. She was the favourite to leave for weeks but that shouldn't have happened the night she sang the best. Now, only 7 remain, and tonight, they'll take on Norwegian tunes. Who'll shock us tonight? ...

Bianca Skoglie Lal was voted off the competition last week, when she found herself in the B3 with Kirsti and Marlen, who was once more the favourite to leave and yet escaped elimination again. Tonight, the remaining 8 singers will dedicate their performances to a loved one in the hopes of winning the norwegian public. Who will face the chop? ...

Last week we saw Christopher Olasfurd being eliminated from the competition to the shock of everyone since he was considered as one of the frontrunners. The remaining 9 contestants will perform once more for your vote in the hopes of earning another week in the competition. Will another fave leave tonight? ...
