MGP 2013: SEMIFINAL 3 RESULTS

The third semifinal in Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix 2013 (MGP) was held tonight, this time live from Larvik. Adelén, Sirkus Eliassen and Gaute Ormåsen, got most votes tonight and has proceeded to the final of MGP.

Tonight’s beforehand favorites went straight to the final. Seven artists performed and televoting decided the three songs that proceed to the final in Oslo at the 8th of February.

These three songs are in the final of MGP 2013
Adelén – «Bombo» (Ina Wroldsen og Quiz & Larossi)
Gaute Ormåsen – «Awake» (Gaute Ormåsen,Jesper Borgen)
Sirkus Eliassen – «I Love You Te Quiero» (Magnus Eliassen, Erik Eliassen)

Adelén was tonight’s big favorite and her latino-pop song is very catchy with a rhytmic performance together with her dancers on stage. This will become a big hit in Norway and the song has a huge chance to win the whole of MGP. Adelén is of Spanish-Norwegian decent and she is only 16 years old. She got most votes of all entries tonight. Sirkus Eliassen looked and sounded very much like something from a children’s television show. With their fancy dancing rabbits on stage they surely attracted the younger votes tonight. Gaute Ormåsen adds yet another ballad to the final with his; A-HA, a bit 80’s sounding, yet modern, pop-ballad song.

As in the past weeks in MGP, audience was very enthusiastic and tonight. It seems that the whole town of Larvik has been in a special MGP-party the last couple of days. The mayor of Larvik was present in the audience. Amongst tonight’s notable performances on stage is worth to mention a couple of Goth-goblins as well as dancing and drumming (Duracell)-rabbits. Sure to be very popular for every kid watching the show tonight. The MGP-final in Oslo next week promises to be something very special and extraordinary exciting this year.
