Tonight knows the start of Melodi Grand Prix, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Three semifinals will all contain 7 songs. 3 of them will be selected to go to the final, chosen by 100% televoting.
The show starts at 19:50 CET and you can watch it here. The participants are:
- Allessandra Mele sings “Queen of kings”
- Erik Næss sings “Wave”
- Rasmus Thall sings “Tresko”
- Kate Gulbrandsen sings “Tårer i paradis”
- Umami Tsunami sings “Geronimo”
- Ulrikke sings “Honestly”
- Byron Williams jr. ft. JOWST sing “Freaky for the weekend”
Kate Gulbrandsen won Melodi Grand Prix in 1987 and represented Norway with “Mitt liv”. She also took part in 1989, but didn’t reach the superfinal.
Ulrikke took part in 2017 (4th) and 2020 (1st). However, in 2020 the festival was cancelled and her song “Attention” thus never reached the Eurovision stage.
JOWST was the 2017 winner. With “Grab the moment” they represented Norway.
