We arrived in Oslo on Friday afternoon, and made our way to the Hard Rock Cafe, where the Norwegian Fan Club were holding a get-together. And what a friendly bunch of people they are! Of course, everyone was chatting about who was going to win, with most thinking it was a battle between Keep of Kalessin and Didrik Solli-Tangen. 
The highlight of the evening was when MGP hosts Per Sundnes and Marte Stokstad arrived with the MGP competitors (although, alas, Alexander Stenerud couldn’t make it) in tow! Venke Knutson, our favourite, was the life and soul of the party, but we also managed a quick chat with Maria Haukaas Storeng too.
Saturday meant meeting up with the guys who run the Schlagerblog. After a bit of sight-seeing and a bite to eat, we made our way to the Spektrum, where we’d been kindly granted access to the dress rehearsal by NRK.
So, after a few drinks, the final came. The atmosphere in the hall was electric. Just after the second song we were ushered backstage to meet with Per and get ready for the ‘interview’. Ben from A1 introduced himself and we wished him luck.
Jenny Jensen, Queentastic and Birgitte Einarsen entertained us with some of the songs they had sung in the Norwegian finals. A good few hours later we staggered back to our hotel after a brilliant evening.

Today, the Greek broadcaster announced the song titles and running order of the nine songs to compete in the Greek final on the 12th March. As Katerine Avgoustakis’ song title was made known it was discovered that a remix of a song by the same title has been online since November 5th. (http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/15055)

The rest of the show passed by at top speed. We thought all the acts came across really well, and were especially impressed with Alexander Stenerud, and Venke of course!
