This weekend is the first semi-final of Norway’s national selection Melodi Grand Prix and yesterday broadcaster NRK revealed the first four artists to compete.
This semi-final features four artists competing for only one place in the grand final where they will join the six artists who have already pre-qualified. Unlike last year’s Melodi Grand Prix format, hope is not lost for the losing three songs as a new ‘wildcard’ round is introduced this year. After the five semi-finals are completed, one more show will announce which of the excluded acts has earned the golden ticket to the grand finale.
