– We will do it for you and the whole world, said Magnus Børmark. Riddle won with 250 points. Keiino was the European jury’s favourite, receiving 98 points from the jury. The result was weighted with 60% popular vote and 40% jury vote. Nine finalists have been on stage this evening in the battle to become Norway’s representative in the Eurovision Song Contest. Ahead of the final, it was Gåte who were favorites to win. KEiiNO and Erika and Super Rob were hot on their heels. The evening featured gothic metal, medieval ballads and pyro, and one could say that it was yet another final that went down in the MGP history books.

But not just her. Our own Eurovision winner in 2009 Alexander Rybak created an atmosphere with his fiddle, and the Eurovision ring foxes Hanne Krogh and Bettan also came and delivered a spectacular performance. Tix sang Sweden’s winning song from 2015, “Heroes”. On his elbow he had painted a Palestinian flag, while he held his fist in the air. If that wasn’t enough, Ulrikke Brandstorp also took the stage with a tribute to “Euphoria”, Loreen’s winning song from 2012. The Swedish star Carola came to Trondheim Spektrum tonight. So did Alexander Rybak. Hanne Krogh, who has participated in Melodi Grand Prix three times, let herself swing and rock tonight! Marion Ravn, Carola and Bettan in harmony. Former MGP winner Ulrikke Brandstorp. Discussions around participation This year’s Melodi Grand Prix has been characterized by what is happening in Israel and Palestine. The petition “Exclude Israel from Eurovision”, created by the Norwegian singer and artist Marthe Valle, has several thousand signatures. Both during the three semi-finals, as well as during the final tonight, protesters have met outside news to demand that Israel be banned from the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has previously announced that it is out of the question to ban Israel from this year’s competition . Demonstrators have turned up outside news in Trondheim with “bloody body parts” to mark those killed in Palestine.

Norway will play in the second semi-final on Thursday 9 May. So does Israel. Why is Israel allowed to participate in Eurovision, and not Russia? Both Russia and Israel are at war. Why does one country get to participate in Eurovision, but not the other? Many people find this difficult to understand.
