This year’s twelve finalists in the Melodi Grand Prix are ready, after the heavy metal act Jorn received the last gold card Monday evening. Only one of these is going to represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest, and Betsson’s bookmakers have received help from MGP expert Per Sundnes to assess various finalists’ chances of winning.
Sundnes believes several of the songs in the Norwegian final are strong enough to assert themselves internationally, and believes that the trio KEiiNO can be back on the podium this year.
“There is no doubt that KEiiNO delivers with tremendous confidence. The drums and other accessories from the previous finale have been packed away, and now there are only the three of them on stage. It could have been boring, but the interaction between them and the spectacular light show leave a lasting impression”, says Sundnes, who doesn’t quite dare to predict the 2019 winner will go all the way to the top.
Fred Buljo, Alexandra Rotan and Tom Hugo still get the stamp of favourites from Betsson. The odds of 3.75 are the lowest of all participants.
“KEiiNO has done it again. They have produced a very strong MGP song and are our favorite to represent Norway in the Eurovision final”, says Betsson boss Bredo Johansen about the song ‘Monument’.
“The way the three of them work together is world class, and everyone gets to show their strengths. This is simply very good MGP craftsmanship”, he continues.
Close behind KEiiNO follow Raylee (4.25) and Rein Alexander (4.50) with good odds of fighting at the top. Atle Pettersen and Stavangerkameratene are the two who have had the lowest chances of winning (25.00). The final of the Melodi Grand Prix starts on Saturday, at 19:55 (CET) on NRK1.
Me encanto MONUMENT. He sido fan de KEiiNO desde el 2019 y todas las partes de su documental de ellos es muy interesante y los conciertos también.
Espero y les deseo lo mejor a ellos. Me han llegado al corazón por las composiciones y les llevaré en el corazón y estaré tremendamente agradecida por la composición de MONUMENT. Yo he sido una de las pocas personas que ante más de una voz todo es posible y gracias a la paciencia y tenacidad he llegado a versionar yo solita MONUMENT y otro tipo de canciones en cualquier idioma no tengo ninguna imposibilidad de no cantar en más de un idioma.
Me gustaría que la gente supiera quien soy musicalmente hablando y les doy la opción a todos de que me conozcan por mis versiones musicales que he hecho varias.
Gracias por todo y espero no armar mucho rodeo con mis comentarios nunca son con ofensa a nadie. Eso no va conmigo. Sólo he compartido quien soy musicalmente hablando y mis éxitos sin animo de querer ofender a alguien.
Espero que se entienda todo y nadie se enfade conmigo o vaya a por mi y me gustaría mantener esto que he dicho en secreto.
Gracias por todo y hasta la próxima.
Un Cordial Saludo.
