Norway: NRK call for songs
No restrictions as to the nationality of the participants have been set. The entries to proceed to the televised stages of Melodi Grand Prix 2011 will be revealed shortly after the submissions deadline.
Per Sundnes, producer of Melodi Grand Prix, has revealed his "wishlist" for the 2011 running of the Norwegian selection show, which includes the presence of black metal - just like this year with Keep of Kalessin -, the return of past contributors and popular faces in the 90s like Erik Faber, Baba Nation, Flava to da Bone, Stella Getz or Soda, and hybrid musical styles just like Alexander Rybak's Fairytale in 2009.
More information can be found here .
Norway was represented by Didrik Solli-Tangen on home soil last May with the song My heart is yours, ending up on 20th place in the final.

Make your bets!
Still bitter about A1.. I bet they'd have done better than Dorkrik. But yeah that's just speaking afterwards..
Just hoping for something good 
And NOT Black Metal. They can have it in their finals if they want to, but I'll mute!
I liked Didrik's song a lot but there were so many better songs in their national final that would have done a better job. My personal fave National Final this year! 
Good luck Norway!
I hope 
Mira Craig will be songwriter for one song in 2011 MGP at least, coz she won't participate as singer an more! 
I still think Norway missed out this year by not sending "Jealous cause I love you",.... I really like that Venke's song....
good luck

emma

Excellent News
I hope to see another fantastic entry like Alexander Rybak-Fairytale uptempo, catchy, energetic, colourful, and full of ethnic delights!
@this is my opinion
lol i should no i'd be a better host of ESC if it ever comes to Ireland again mark my words i will be the host!
This is my opinion
Currently I'm working on this verssion:
I've lost my lipstick,
I can't find,
And where are you my honey
In the middle of the night?
Ding Dong,
Ding Dong
Here you are back,
But wait a moment and let me smell,
Tell me why you smell like my lipstick?
Why are you wearing my evening dress???
Can I love you in lipstick and dress??
Can I trust you my make-up again???
My tears fell down and my heart can hardly beat,
Can you hear that Drip-Drop and Dum-Tek-Tek!
This is my opinion
You should have sent your CV to some public broadcasters
here is one example
ding dong
my love, why are you letting me down?
You come home with lipstick all over you
You are the biggest clown
All this words you use to cover you
You think I am blind, that I can't see
Everytime I forgive and let it be
Do you know why?
Cause I love you and wait for you to stop
Stop cheating on me
I hide my tears
I pretend you are innocent
I hide my pain through this ding dong ding dong
Its love that is ding dong ding dong
But you can't see you fool
When are you gonna realise this ding dong ding dong
Its all my love for you
I always ding dong to stay alive for you
Isn't it weird and wonderful
Oh yeah ding dong
how is that?
try Emma
it shouldn't be so difficult, all you got to do is bring few cheap words together and find a way to convince people, just look at Safura's drip drop for example, Swedish writer wrote that cheap thing called drip drop, listick etc... and passed on to Azerbaijan government to hit the top 5 in eurovision hahahahahah
i wish i could sing or write songs lol i'd be entering for every
country i could
Call for more Belarusian expats!!
It helps!! A LOT!!!!
i wanna send my song
