We’re in the home stretch of Eurovision National Final Season, and Norway is next up to decide. Melodi Grand Prix has ditched the semi finals and is direct to the grannie, as Tarjei Strøm takes over musical duties.
Michael and Io listen to the nine songs that made it through to the big event and share some ideas for staging, perfect demographics and how old favourites might be received.
You can watch MGP live via NRK from 5:50am on Sunday 16 February (AEDT) or 7:50pm on Saturday 15 February in Central Europe.
What’s Rybak up to?
Who’s getting their house-down-boots on in Oslo’s gay clubs?
What about Laika Party?
