Norway – Against all the betting odds, Tooji will be representing Norway in Baku. His song “Stay” won out against the other 3 acts in the superfinal against Plumbo, Nora Foss al-Jabri and Bobby Bare & Petter Øien.
Tooji (born Tooji Keshtkar in 1987) is an Iranian-born Norwegian singer, model and TV personality who moved to Norway when he was one year old. At the age of 16 he started modeling before moving on to MTV Norway where he presented “Super Saturday” and “Tooji’s Top 10″.

Tooji I will vote you in the may… Love from host city…
My dearest Norway is going down the Björkman road. Well, if that’s what they want, let it be. This song is pure glitter and gloss, in other words, pointless. Good luck.
So in Baku , Eric Saade , Jedward and Gaeter Jaani are once more competing but this time for Norway , Ireland and Cyprus ! :p
I think Norway chose right result wise.There’s no way this act will miss top 5 in televoting.Poor Ivi…
7/12 from me.Good luck !
Tooji is better than Eric…
I guess that his main talent are his looks … if one happens to fall for this type. ABYSMAL!
I don’t fall for his type usually, but I like his looks…
but then, his looks are not the reason why I like this act…
we finally disagree somewhere… too much agreeing would be boring… ,-)
Not only boring but rather worrying in fact. I had this profound identity crisis alarm with Morgan some time ago but then we luckily discovered Cyprus and Finland to fight over …
Come again? Morgan likes the La la contraption?!
No no no, of course he doesn’t. But Finland is one of his favourite ESC countries whereas it is one of my least favourite ones (I only like several of their entries from the 60s and 79 …). On the other hand, Cyprus is one of my favourite ESC countries whereas it is way down Morgan’s list.
Oh, I see. What a relief! Indeed, Cyprus has sent lovely songs in the past.
nope, but Finland has :p
Quite disappointing! I had 5 10/10 entries and this one wins, I gave 7/10 because I love clothes, choreography and dancers, without that it would be wqite poor and weak! Oriental part bugs me the most! :/ But still number 2 in weak 2012 for me!
I’ve had this in my head for days and day, I love it. I’m really glad they sent him
Go Norway but i do think western countries are struggling this year norway you are sending a copy cat of Eric Saade and i heard Iceland song and i think Iceland is trying too hard i know a balkern countrey is going to win this year because of western countries are seem to to be struggling with there pick of entries and thats my opinion
You are wrong, Balkan is not so strong this year, Kaliopi will sing in Macedoniana ethno song so she won’t qualify for fina, Serbia also ethnic and in Serbian languag, and singer who is total nothing now, somebody who is lost and forgotten LOL Croatia and Slovenia will never win, whatever they send! B&H will never win with that singer as well… NEVER!
Tooji is the Best. This year Norway is strong. Good night everyone!
It’s a nice song, but this is not hard considering how bad a year for ESC 2012 already is.
I agree with you on almost all this year for now!
Especially Iceland and Norway, but Soluna Samay does have some charisma and she sings good live, don’t be like that! 
Is it too early to say that I’ve already found #43 of my ESC 2012 list?
Hmmm it’s an easy question Oxi! If you prefer “Waterline” by Jedward then YES! hehe xD
Norway: Is this your song? GOOD LUCK, you will need it
I like it!
It’s much better than Eric Saade, he CAN sing (can’t you listen to him when he says “staaaaaaaaay”?), the song is catchy, probably he will be first in televoting in his semifinal and in top 5 in the final… at least top 10!
Even juries may vote for this!
Not bad Norway, catchy song and despite comparisons to Eric Saade this is better!
Nice catchy song. This should score Top10.
Oh my, that’s terrible. How could this win over Plumbo? What the hell is wrong with you, Norway???
eric saade copy.just miss broken glasses.
For the moment Norway is my favourite. But song is not original!
cyprus la la love wayyyyyyyyy better than this.the best so far.this is just ok but a bit confusing and not so catchy
Ooh Eric Sade has changed countries and clothes…. should do well
