With the semis behind us, we now have all the qualifiers for Saturday's grand final!
Who's your favourite? Most entertaining stage show? Overall thoughts on this year's crop of songs?
Which song do you think will win? And who (if any) will get the dreaded 0 points?
Who got robbed in the semis? Which songs should have rather won their national qualifications?
The contest is still more than a month away, but all songs have been released, so let's have a listen and a discussion!
Eurovisionworld has links to all the songs (ordered by how likely the bookmakers consider it for them to win the contest). There's also a YouTube and a Spotify playlist of all the songs.
So which songs are your favourites? Guilty pleasures? Overrated, underrated? Most fun? Most excited to see performed live? Predictions? Etc.
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.
Didrik & Emil Solli Tangen - Out of Air
Rein Alexander - One Last Time
(I couldn't find tonight's performance for all of these, so some of them are from the semi-finals.)
The winner was Ulrikke with her song Attention, which will go on to represent Norway in Rotterdam. Did we make the right choice? Let's hear your opinions in the comments!
Tonight was the fifth semi-final of the Norwegian Eurovision national selection (Melodi Grand Prix). This year there are 5 semi-finals, one for each region of the country, plus five songs that automatically qualify for the grand final.

(For the previous two semi-finals, it didn't occure to me that the Danish national selection is also named Melodi Grand Prix, so from now on I'll be adding the country to the title.)
