Greetings from Oslo

Eurovision Express is reporting from Oslo this weekend as we attend the final of the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix. And what a final it promises to be! We've seen our favourite songs get through each week during the heats and today it's time to choose the song that will represent the host country in May.

The running order for tonight's final is:
1. A1 - Don't Want To Lose You Again
2. Maria Haukaas Storeng - Make My Day
3. Venke Knutson - Jealous Cause I Love You
4. Bjørn Johan Muri - Yes Man
5. Maria Arredondo - The Touch
6. Alexander Stenerud - Give It To Me
7. Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours
8. Keep Of Kalessin - The Dragontower

The standard is very high this year, and we really like most of the songs on offer.  Our favourite is Venke Knutson's Jealous Cause I Love You, a catchy and quirky entry, but we think it will end up being a battle between Didrik, A1 and Keep Of Kalessin. 

And, surprise surprise, we're tipping Didrik to win.  In fact if he wins, he may well go on to come very close to securing a 2nd Norwegian victory just down the road at the Fornebu Arena in May.

For those of you who can't be in Oslo tonight, you can watch the excitement unfold here
