Who knows Laila? In the aftermath I may see that KoK could have been a dark horse, but I can also see it do a very bad result in ESC. We will never know, though... And @Swedish hunk: As far as I know, Didrik is not gay and if you think he's acting gay, go on with that for yourself. But who cares? It's the music ESC is about.
Didriks so gay isnt he?
I wonder what would have happened if we had sent KoK or even A1. I bet we wouldn't have flopped in the final with them at least... 
Curious to hear whether his new single will be as cliché as "MHIY" or not...
Didrik sings "In a moment like this"
just skip it to 4:30 
i voted for him being the most handsome male singer in ESC 2010. He was really handsome on that picture from the poll site.. along with Daniel Diges
ok back to music.. His vocals was not bad but the song was flat
@ Mario Mir,
You are absolutelt right!
And, yes, Azerbaijan as well.
My Norwegian favorite from the start of their selection was "Jealous cause I love you", so after that I could only be dissapointed with this typical boring X-Mas song......
Guys what a tragedy?? So what if during a song contest maps are shown in that way?? Does it change something??? The same was with Armenia but several jocks toward "Norvegian Polit Correctness" by commentors and jurnalists and let us continue. That was funny to see members fallen into histeria it's gonna become a habit Wonder what have they prepared for the next year?
Marko - well, I have heard Didrik in more interviews that you I guess....and he comes along pretty vulgar and plain once he opens his mouth to talk....
(But of course - those things are pretty subjective, and no surprise we dont think alike).
his lack of charm/carisma
WOO! 
It's so subjective, I think totally contrary!
I thought that the idea of NRK about showing maps of countries was pretty stupid: with many countries with "controversial" borders (not only Serbia) it's absolutely nonsense to do so, or maybe they loved to get problems (the Azeri delegation also protested because their Western borders weren't shown clear).
It's better to show only flags like in Belgrade 2008 for example; Moscow 2009 had an original idea, but no more "battle of monuments" please!
I really look forward to this. I think he could have many suprises lurking behind. I really liked "My Heart is Yours" and I will not underestimate this guy. We'll see!
First time I heard Didriks song was not live. I really liked it. But then - during performance after performance he continued to disappoint me. At least for now I dont think he has what it takes to sing a ballad like that live. Another thing - his lack of charm/carisma has not improved my impression of him.
I have to admit that I voted for him in the NF - but later realized there were better alternatives for Norway this year.
I really don't know what to expect from him in September.
@Nenad Gamzigrad
The aim was not to be seen Kosovo as a province of Serbia.
That's so because Kosovo is since February 2008 an independent state ( according 2 UN ), when the organizators would include Kosovo in Serbia's map, then Kosovo would maybe accuse the Norwegian broadcaster NRK for that!
Vast majority of the World consider Kosovo as a part of Serbia: 123 UN member states or 64 per cents.
I have 2 disappoint you mate, but the number of the countries, who recognize Kosovo as an independent country is growing ( sadly ) ...

Daj molim te ne lupetaj!
Shame on Norway for not showing the map of Serbia in Oslo 2010. The aim was not to be seen Kosovo as a province of Serbia. Vast majority of the World consider Kosovo as a part of Serbia: 123 UN member states or 64 per cents.
Shackles should try in MGP as well!
Toho
But they have to pay them a lot of money for participation! That was my idea!
Also to pay Mira Craig to try again!
I hope Sichelle and Elisabeth Carew will try again and Haddy N'jie to debut in MGP!
@ Marko
Actually, they were asked after the show in Telenor Arena whether an actual participation in MGP & ESC in future was a possibility 
First, they commented about the ESC community being fantastic and that their interval act was the best thing they ever had experienced as artists. Continuing, they said it would be a pleasure to do this again (indicating yes to a possible participation in MGP). BUT, when they were interviewed, their manager came out of nowhere and said: "MGP? Stop joking guys, it's not something for us" 
And she was right to have done so, Luis, if she feels that the song does not go well with the remaining tracks. As for Didrik's case, it pains me to say the reliable Norwegians have made a bad choice in 2010 and that's why he should avoid including that song in lineup. I agree that his live performance after he won MGP was the finest I've heard, but even then it was not perfect. I wish him the very best.
I like his entry and him A LOT! Don't care if first seconds of performance weren't brilliant vocals! Ufff...how many entries in ESC had worse vocals! Pfff....
I hope Norway will pick in MGP 2011 smth as nice as this year entry!
Why Madcon don't wanna participate in MGP when they had interval act for Oslo ESC!
Please Norway pay them to participate in MGP, and pay Mira Craig as well to take part next year! Ahhh... Mira Craig...
Shevi, Vania didn't include Senhora Do Mar. If I have one pet peeve it's not including entries on albums.
