Posted October 26, 201113 yr From esctoday.com The Norwegian Broadcasting corporation NRK has confirmed their plans to select the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest entry. The number of contestants will go up from the previous 21 to 24. The live Saturday shows will also grow bigger. NRK has also decided to scrap the Last Chance (sistesjansen) round, but instead there will be a 40 minutes pre-show on every Thursday. Project leader Skjalg Solstad says they want to bring the audience closer to the artists than before. On the Thursday show there will be news from the host city, the rehearsals, and news from the artists. This is how we will show the audience at home more of what happens at the MGP tour circus, Solstad concludes. In addition there will be talk about the outfits and MGP history. The three heats will take place in Ørland, Larvik and Florø. Larvik is the newcomer amongst these and has a brand new arena which is very well suited for broadcasting. The tickets for all the events will be on sale next week. The MGP tour will be hosted by Per Sundnes and Marte Stokstad again like in 2010. Melodi Grand Prix is arranged for the 51st time in 2012 and produced by NRK og EyeworksDinamo. The MGP show dates: Ørland – Saturday 21 January 2012 Larvik - Saturday 28 January 2012 Florø - Saturday 4 February 2012 Final in Oslo - Saturday 11 February 2012 In addition a 40 minute pre-show every Thurday before these. http://esctoday.com/news/read/17752
October 31, 201113 yr I'm really happy too see we will have 3 more entries and not a second chance! :D Larvik is the newcomer amongst these and has a brand new arena which is very well suited for broadcasting Ooooh, my naighbour town! Only 10 minutes away, maybe I should get some tickets :D
October 31, 201113 yr Great to see we'll have extra songs, as long as they are good :D I like the second chance as it gives us an extra show to watch, but I'm not too fussed about having it scrapped. May have also caused it to start a week sooner, the big part of Eurovision season (MGP & MF) can never come too soon and it's later than the past couple of years at least.

It's been a while since one of my faves actually coughed up an album.
