Rather than post all of the countries entries as seperate posts in ~music, and give everyone Eurovision fatigue before the event has even kicked off, I have listed them below for your consumption.

I won't write long paragraphs based around my opinon of the differing entries; suffice to say that one act stands out in a sea of mediocrity among the Nordic entries this year. I'll leave you to guess which one that might be...

Sweden
The Mamas – Move

Denmark
Ben & Tan – Yes

Norway
Ulrikke – Attention

Finland
Aksel Kankaanranta – Looking Back

Iceland
Daði & Gagnamagnið – Gagnamagnið (Think About Things)

Tonight ten songs competed to represent Norway in Eurovision.

Rein Alexander - One Last Time

Sondrey - Take My Time

Tone Damli - Hurts Sometimes

Ulrikke - Attention

(I couldn't find tonight's performance for all of these, so some of them are from the semi-finals.)
