The Swedish Eurovision star Carola Häggkvist is touring Norway this summer and was on the lineup for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Norwegian Marcus and Martinus represented Sweden in Eurovision this year, and although neither Norway nor Sweden came out on top this time, Norway has ambitions to win soon. Carola does not rule out the possibility of exchanging to the neighboring country to help “sweet brother”. – I could do that, actually. If it was a wonderful song. Carola has the door open for a Eurovision comeback.

But it takes a bit to get back into the circus and the media storm she portrays Eurovision as. – It must be a song that fits in with the world situation. That there is an opportunity to participate. Herring salad on stage MGP boss Stig Karlsen thinks the idea of a Swedish pop legend under the Norwegian flag is exciting. – She is a brilliant, great artist with a large audience in Norway. MGP CEO Stig Karlsen is positive about Norwegian-Swedish exchange.

So, for example, getting Carola together with another Norwegian artist could have been cool. Although the idea is good, there is a long way from words to action, underlines Karlsen. – But it is clear; Now I have to talk to Carola. Published 05.07.2024, at 13.35
