Norway – The complete line-up of the Norwegian national final is now known. The jury awarded the wildcard to Lise Karlsnes who didn’t manage to qualify regularly from the third semi-final this Saturday. The running order of the Melodi Grand Prix 2012 is thus complete. Tooji will open the show while Tommy Fredvang will be the last to present his song. Here is the full line-up:
1. Tooji – “Stay“
2. Reidun Sæther – “High on Love“
3. Lise Karlsnes – “Sailors”
4. Plumbo – “Ola Nordmann“
5. Malin – “Crush“
6. Nora Foss al-Jabri – “Something Beautiful“
7. Carburetors – “Don’t Touch the Flame“
8. Bobby Bare & Petter Øien – “Things Change“
9. Yaseen & Julie Maria – “Sammen”
10. Tommy Fredvang – “Make it Better“
1)Tooji – Stay : 7/12.
2)Reidun Sæther – High On Love : 6/12.
3)Lise Karlsnes – Sailors : 4/12.
4)Plumbo – Ola Nordmann : 4 plus/12.
5)Malin Reitan – Crush : 1/12.
6)Nora Foss Al-Jabri – Somewhere Beautiful : 7/12.
7)Carburetors – Don’t Touch The Flame : 2/12.
8)Petter Øien og Bobby Bare – Things Change : 3/12.
9)Yaseen & Julie Maria – Sammen : 6.5/12.
10)Tommy Fredvang – Make It Better : 4 minus/12.
Overall , this has been the weakest Norwegian line-up for a Final since errrr…EVER ! I think almost half of these Norwegians finalists could leave Norway 2012 behind in semis…Only likeable choises are Nora and Tooji ( the hip hop kids to a lesser extent ) but still nothing great=maximum 7/12 in my books !Good luck Norway.In a semi like semi 2 and with such an average bunch of songs in your quivers you will deffinetely need it!
Not a very good choice imo …
Now that all the finalists are known, here’s my ranking :
1. Tooji – Stay : 8/12
2. Plumbo – Ola Nordmann : 7/12
3. Reidun Sæther – High On Love : 7/12
4. Yaseen & Julie Maria – Sammen : 6/12
5. Bobby Bare & Petter Øien – Things Change : 5/12
6. Tommy Fredvang – Make it better : 5/12
7. Lise Karlsnes – Sailors : 4/12
8. Nora Foss Al-Jabri – Somewhere Beautiful : 4/12
9. The Carburetors – Don’t Touch The Flame : 3/12
10. Malin – Crush : 1/12

Oh my, an MGP final with only one song I like. I agree with Donnie that MGP has never had such a weak line-up, at least since I started watching the show in 2006.
I will certainly skip this show and cannot be bothered to even rank this middling bunch. Good luck!
Poor Rikke Normann, her vocals were on fire
One of the worst songs in all NMGP was chosen, great! That completes the final line up of the worst NMGP since 2006 (and I’ve been watching it since 2005). Disaster awaits Norway in Baku!
Great!! I loved her song and performance, I gave it 10/10…she will be my number 3 in he final!
But Plumbo will win, and do quite bad in Baku if stay in Norwegian language…I like it though..
