Excitement is mounting here at Eurovision Express ahead of tonight's Norwegian MGP. It's a strong line-up, and although we're a tad disappointed Zuma didn't make it to the Spektrum, there's still plenty of great songs to cheer on.
The hot favourite with the bookies is King of Trolls (pictured above) with Far Away. We love all the words that sound like they begin with the letter 'F' at the start of the chorus - 'fairytale' (sounds more like 'furrytale'), 'fun' and 'thrilling' (sounds more like 'frilling'). Quite whether this song cuts the mustard live, however, is pretty debatable.
Eurovision Express also has soft spots for Veronica Akselsen with her hypnotic ballad Am I Supposed To Love Again, and Torstein Sødal's West End style showstopper, Eastern Wind. Bizarrely neither of these songs were given a cat in hell's chance of getting through their qualifying heats - but we here at Eurovision Express knew better and backed them all the way. We were delighted, and considerably richer, when they made it direkt til Spektrum.
But which song would we really like to see winning tonight? Well, if it's down to merit, it has to be Maria Haukaas Storeng(pictured above), with the sultry, Amy Winehouse-sounding Hold On Be Strong. If Norway wants to hold its head up high in Belgrade then this is the song to send! See Maria's performance below.
