Maria Petra håper du har plass med tv intro extended

Espen: Hey Maria
Maria: Hey Espen

Espen: This week you're gonna do something else

Maria: Im gonna sing a song called “Håper du har plass”

Espen: its on norwegian, you haven't done that before in this competition.

Maria: I think its more difficult to sing in norwegian. There isn't a lot you can hide behind.
Espen: Every word is like 10x in norwegian. You speak norwegian so it shouldn¨t be that weird.

Maria: I find it strange to sing in norwegian. Got a hang up on it kinda.

Espen: I think singing in norwegian is good, cuz you get the ability to reach the listener even further.
Espen: If she is able to get into the song and the zone as when she does at her very best, then I think this can become magic.

Maria: I dont really like challenges. Guess I just have to fight then.

After performance:

Espen: There is something with when you come into the zone where you become the song, and you believe in what you sing. I have no defences then. It is different from what you’ve done before, but I couldnt even dare to believe it could become so good as this. I hope that people remember to vote for you, because with this, you deserve to get to the finale.

TV-host: In what way does this song hit you?

Maria: It has something in it, with the text, it hits you in the stomach.

Ina: Some people have this ability, you're able to make this movie in my head with your voice, this narrative. And with your voice, I hear all these images in my head. I was at the hair dresser here the other day and heard you on the radio. Maria, you're everywhere! I love it! And this tonight, ohlala.

Yosef: What impresses me very today. Everyone knows that the original songwriter is a great author. When you take that type of song as a singer, its easy to be focused on the technical singing. And what you did, knowing how to express each word, what the song exactly needs to be sung. You did that.
