Tonight’s participants in “Star Wars” had to hone in on the demanding and vastly different genres of yoik and duet. Jorun Stiansen pulled the shortest straw and had to go home: – I feel that I have won, she says anyway.

Jorun Stiansen and Carina Dahl were the ones who received the fewest votes of the four remaining participants in “Star Wars”. Carina Dahl gets another chance to assert herself in the next program while Jorun Stiansen had to thank himself.
And thank you, she did it with all her heart after the result of the votes had become known.
– I am so proud, so happy and grateful. I feel like I have won. For me, it was not about standing as a system man, but getting back the joy of singing and music, said a touched Stiansen.

In the first session of the singing competition, where yoik was on the program, it was Alexandra who received the most approval from the judging panel for her interpretation of In Ge Mun Diede by Bárut and Inga Juuso.
“She channels the text so intensely and controlled that Keiino’s friend Fred Buljo is probably both proud and moved. If it’s true that Alexandra Rotan has never tried to yoik before this week, she’s an even more naturally complete musical person than I thought was possible. Impressive », writes VG’s reviewer and rolls the evening’s only six on the dice.
In previous programs, they have been to Latin pop, Norwegian folk songs, opera and hip hop.
The last time yoik was a genre in “Star Wars” was in 2018, when the Sami artist Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen emerged victorious from the competition. Joik also participated for the first time the year before.
In the second part of the program, the participants performed a duet number with previous participants in Star Wars, which they had chosen themselves.
–Bjørn Tomren breathed dust of the old classic Peace In The Valley by Thomas A. Dorsey, in a duet with Ole Børud.
– You have an incredibly sophisticated style. It was soft and supple and performed with good energy, said guest judge Emil Kárlsen after the song number.
Alexandra Rotan teamed up with Adam Douglas for the duet section and clinked with “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” by Céline Dion.
But according to the judging panel, which in addition to the permanent judge Mina B. Rise consisted of the two Sami artists Emil Kárlsen and Agnete Saba, it was Carina Dahl and Adrian Jørgensen who impressed the most.
The duo performed a Norwegian remake of Need You Now by Lady A under the title Træng dæ no.
– Their voices merge. The timing is perfect, and incredibly cool that you sing it in Trøndelag. I would put it right on the playlist, said Agnete Saba after the song number.
