POWERFUL AND MAGICAL! Gåte "Ulveham" Live National Final Performance 

Thank you for taking the time twice! Hope you get to see us live someday!

I'm italian and I am kinda proud about our italian entry at ESC this year, It's nice but I will root and vote for Norway cause It's so on another level of epicness and magnificence, damn, this is how you do music.

This was really good. The vocalist is incredible....truly. The music was done really well, and this is a great mix, considering it looks like a live performance.

Proud of my Norwegian brothers and sisters for showung their proud folklore elements in music for ESC. Followed the mgp final with my Norwegian wife and we were so please. Love from Sweden.

This isn't a goofy Eurovision song but a real song -amazing feelings and performance. Who cares if this win or not. This song is a gift!!🥰🥰🥰

Out of this world performance ♥️🇳🇴🙏🇳🇴

Yes yes Gåte for the win❤🎉❤🎉❤

They are an incredible band. If this doesn't win this year there's something incredibly wrong with the competition.

super vauUUUU!!!

When I saw that this won the national final, it became my number 1! The staging captured me! Everything about it I loved!

So glad you checked out this live version, it's just on a completely different level! :D I can say from personal experience that Gåte is an amazing live band, as I got to see them last year. Incredible performances all around, and such a unique concert! More than just a concert, that was an experience!

That was some performance. Not only was it musically complex and complete, but the staging was absolutely amazing. The whole thing certainly drew you in.

If u wanna connect with literally anyone from anywhere, Eurovision is the place. Come along man ur welcome here

This was the exact reaction i had when i heard the semifinal version, except i got a tear as well. I followed Gåte since the beginning and this performance just blew my mind. I knew they would do good but man, this truly topped it. Thanks

Imma say it here, it's gonna win. I'm confident

She is one of the best vocalists in northern Europe

Gåte’s music is a dark, mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful take on Nordic folk. Where they flirt with elements from traditional Norse and pagan music as well as from more modern genres like rock and industrial. The chorus is a socalled KULOKK, - the maiden calling the cattle in from the the mountains. The roots of this song is a thousand years old.

No matter how many times I listen to the song (and it's been A LOT till now) - I always get goosebumps. This is why I love Eurovision. I get to know bands like Gate. Bands, that will stay on my playlist forever with all their music 💚

Amazing. Can't wait to watch Eurovision as we always do.. I think they have a really good chance at winning, wow!!

Thank you so much for this reaction! The singer actually sang at my cousins wedding when she was young, and my uncle helped the band getting started financially. My family was at the edge of their seats during the finale! This band is truly amazing!

Love from Norway❤

This is of another level. Great reaction!

Lots of love from Jæren Norway ❤

Norwegian here. I don’t really follow Eurovision, but I gotta admit, that was pretty cool.

Yup, that’s why we all told you to check out the live performance 😅 your gobsmacked reaction, I laughed out loud 🤣 it is just so ridiculously good!

Awesome reaction🤘 Gåte is pronounced more like gaw-teh. English lyrics: [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization] [Outro: Vocalization, Storm] I then tore out her heart So her blood flowed free Then I got to drink my brothers' blood

I love this song!!

This open and heartfelt reaction brought a new light to the song. thanks for sharing 🙏

Just WOooW!!!!❤😮😮😮

Fantastic reaction :D :D

Yeah we are kind of proud. It's a 1000 year old tale. It's full of emotions and history. Gåte ftw

If this dont give you goosebumps nothing will😅❤❤❤🎉😊

So epic they went all out on this one. Her voice brings chills, Musically was very good as well. The performances and staging were spectacular. I got nothing but good things to say here. ❤ and ✌️

Awesome song! The nyckelharpa (the keyed instrument being played with a bow) linked the music to the song's medieval roots. From Bandcamp's description of the song: “Ulveham” is based on a medieval balled, and like other historical legends and songs it carries an important moral. The song is a story of young maiden that undergoes a series of injustices, but by upholding justice and goodness, even in the toughest trials, she triumphs over evil forces and breaks the curse placed upon her."

Takk så mye fra oss GÅTE.

Hahah your reaction was EPIC!! Or like we say in Norway «heilt sinnsjukt»😆 I hope you check out their EP "Vandrar" in your own time. The full version of Ulveham is on that one. Much love🖤

I am convinced they only put in that bass pause in the choruses so he could spin his bass

Takk ifra sjælen❤ Hilsen fra GÅTE🍀

Love your reaction, love your vibe and the love you send ❤️❤️❤️ I can feel it 🥰🥰🥰 You are awesome🎉

Once I saw this live in the finals, I was convinced. Chills!! It's so, so beautiful!!

Best reaction i have seen so far to Ulveham, you let the song play out and reacted after, thank you.

the reaction makes me smile every time- Coming from a proud norwegian man ;D

If you desire to see a live performance from the band that arguably is even more impressive, look up ' Gåte - Knut Liten (Live in Oslo at Rockefeller Music Hall)'.

music from out of this world

You got to listen to the extended version. It is twice as long.

Yay, you did the live one too. I was a bit confused as to why you did the studio version. Half the spectacle of Eurovision are the stage shows ^^

Love your reaction😍

Thank you so much for creating a video also of the live final performance! ❤❤🎉

is it the norwegian candidate for eurovision song contest? the quality this year seems to be really high.

I loved your reaction😅 amazing song. Love from me in Norway❤️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴❤️

My favourite reaction to this magnificence - could see how deeply you felt this as I did when watching it for the first time. Thank you for your words at the end - words we don't hear often enough

I really love what you said about connection, how we are not connected and lonely despite all out technology. SUBBED! Also really love your enthusiasm about Gåte xD I love them so much

I don't know what Sweden is gonna send yet but if we send smth bad i'll root for Norway. This song is awesome.

Love this song. Proud Norwegian.

Your message of love to oneself at the end there caught me by surprise. Thank you for reminding me

i never coment, but ur reaction was/is priceless , thank you, i saw the first 1

Check out the longer original album version on RU-vid.

Great perfomance!

Takk❤

I love the Slovenian entry since i am slovenian and biased :D BUT I would be ok to loose to Norway... It is an amazing song and it keeps escalating, really impressed

Hi Tommy !!! The closest pronounsiation to the letter Å/å in English I would say would be the aw sound you guys have. Like in awesome or saw. The last E in Gåte sounds like the E in English "End" or "Endless". The word Gåte means Riddle in English. Greets !!!

Norway Gate is the best i am from Poland but i live in Germany

This song is amazing, and her voice is great to... good luck 🇳🇴 from 🇭🇷 .. 🙃

Que esta obra de arte haya quedado la última en el festival de Eurovisión 2024 ya me enseña como este festival está apañado por la política centroeuropea😂

I was there... 🥹 So lucky to be able to see that performance live. So happy that Norway made the best possible choice! Norge, lykke til i Malmö! 🫶

Band name is pronounced GAW-teh and translates to "riddle". Fantastic reaction video. Sometimes words don't seem to quite make the cut.

Gate❤

Gåte❤️🎶🎵

I would have loved Gothminister to go, but this is just as great in my opinion. A great mix of Nightwish, Within Temptation and Eluveitie ❤ totally up my ally. Since I don't expect much of our own NF (🇩🇪) this will probably be the one I am rooting for if Sweden don't send Smash into Pieces 😅

So yes, this is why Gothminister didn't get more votes on the night, I believe I wasn't the only rock/metal fan who leaned toward this magical performance. I'm happy to see you appreciating this song now, and even happier for Norway to have this masterpiece represent them at Eurovision. With much love 🖤

I love your reaction.

The song itself is inspired by a norwegian medieval folklore/ballade. Ulveham means wolfskin English lyrics: [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] “I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization] [Outro: Vocalization, Storm] I thеn tore out her heart So her blood flowed free Then I got to drink my brothers' blood”

Hehe 😂❤❤❤❤

Love your reaction as always. The name of the song "ulveham" means more than being dressed as a wolf. It is actually being in a wolfs body (= hamnskifte = what Anoana is doing in Heilungs movie that you reacted on). The corresponding shift to a bear is björnsärk (or berserk as you call it in english), more well known maybe. Wearing a ulveham will also make you a werewolf, which are not knewn to be very nice. Actually the song is based on a more than 1000 year old saga in old norse (can be described in very good and accurate detail in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-THYYDiJczOM.html&ab_channel=EurovisionHistories ). That saga was picked up by the Grimm brother's which started the saga of Snowwhite which is an offspring of this, but far less bloody and more symbolic

if you want to learn a scandinavian language, norwegian would be my reccomendation. easy vocabulary, easy grammar and no complicated traps when speaking it. and you can easily expand to danish and swedish

💖💖

and in ur first accent was gate (like in english)

I love Gåde's powerful version and hope they win the whole Eurovision contest! Heja Norge!!! 😘🇧🇻✌️ Love from Sweden! Btw, here's a video with english translations of all the (dark) lyrics from this old Scandinavian/Norse ballad for anyone interested... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dLYkogvmqYg.htmlsi=CixZdaz-ixhoo8WW The ballad is called Vedergällningen (The Revenge?) by Garmarna, an old swedish folk-rock group. So not to be confused by Varulven (The Werewolf) which is another old scandinavian folkballad, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nD8MKECCdxc.htmlsi=rGwsGWTBXCoBY6Kn

I almost never put a comment on YT but your reaction touched me as much as this incredible performance itself. I'm a huge Eurovision fan from Poland and that's why I love this competition - it's the perfect occasion to discover such talented artists like Gåte, that I'd probably never find myself. Amazing, stunning, the level out of this world... Thank you for your reaction and I'm happy that I also discovered your channel. Your last words almost made me cry my soul out, because I could feel your emotions and the message you wanted to share mixed with my own experience, feelings and sadness together. Take care of yourself, you are a wonderful and beautiful person ♥

Powerful and magical YES. This song is sung in a language from the viking era , 1000 years back . Today we speak a completely different language in Norway

Almost, Gaw-teh - the last E pronounced as a spanish E

Your reaction was like mine... I just stopped ... it's so good!

Their band name is pronounced more like gohteh

ulv means wolf, and ham is hide..

Gåte = Riddle Ulveham _ dressed like a wolf or "in the shape of a wolf". Quite a brutal story.

I love the reaction! Did you see Gåte new video for Ulveham that they released yesterday? It's is incredible! Can you please react to it too?? ❤️

Funniest part. The so called expert in sweden on mgp. Said .. doesent matter who wins in sweden. They have no chance. And Sweden and Norway with out love and hate thing.. Said alot. No way in hell ANYONE from sweden would say this unless he was 100% sure

It`s pronounced like Go-te. Not "tea" or "tee". Te.

Gåte is not pronounced like goat at all, the first "gå" is like the "go" in gone. The "te" is more like "te" in the word ten. What I can recommed is google translate and clicking the sound icon. Then you'll get it, no guesswork required.

The lyric is horrible and the screaming! Norway Gåte Ulveham ,Many people are not aware of what she actually sings, which in my opinion is a cruel text from the old days. And i am from Norway ! The text copied from newspaper today: She summarizes "Ulveham", based on an old medieval ballad, as the story of an evil stepmother who casts a curse on her stepdaughter - who turns into a wolf running in the forest forever. She only loses her wolf's hide if she drinks her own brother's blood. "There will be a kind of happy - but cruel - ending when she meets the stepmother on horseback in the forest, throws herself at her, rips out her heart and drinks the blood. Because the stepmother is pregnant with her brother - thereby the curse is lifted.

No one really speak this way.. I would guess it is a mix. between old norse and icelandic with a bit of Norwegian. Maybe some Swedish and danish as well. Even as a norwegian that is not cluless.. I am still mystified on how she sing, and her dialect.
