Dear viewers as you know Norway is celebrating 60 years of Melodi Grand Prix and participation at Eurovision Song Contest so NRK has decided to have a special Melodi Grand Prix. They reinstated the semi-finals for the first time since 2012. Each semi-final celebrates a different region of Norway and tonight it is the 5th one North Norway semi-final also held in H3 Arena in Forenbu like the previous four.
The system goes as follows four acts are competing, each will be paired into ‘duels’ – where the song which receives the most votes goes through to the final golden duel. In the Gold duel the top 2 songs will fight for the place in the final alongside 5 direct finalists and qualifiers from the other semifinals.
The four competing songs this evening (in alphabetical order) are:
Elin & The Woods – We are as One
Jenny Jenssen – Mr. Hello
