Before Eurovision

Melodi Grand Prix 2007

Melodi Grand Prix 2007 was the Norwegian national final that selected Norway's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. Three semi-finals, one Second Chance round and a final were held between 20 January and 10 February 2007.

Semi-finals and Second Chance round

Eight songs competed during the final on 10 February 2007 held at the Spektrum in Oslo. The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top four entries were selected by public televoting to proceed to the second round, the Gold Final: "Chicken Rodeo" performed by Dusty Cowshit, "Rocket Ride" performed by Jannicke Abrahamsen, "Wannabe" performed by Crash! and "Ven a bailar conmigo" performed by Guri Schanke. In the Gold Final, three juries from the hosts of the three semi-final cities gave each Gold Finalist 2,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 points. The results of the public televote were then revealed by Norway's five regions, which were added to the jury scores. This led to the victory of "Ven a bailar conmigo" performed by Guri Schanke with 108,541 votes.

At Eurovision

Because Norway placed 14th at the 2006 contest Norway participated in the semi-final on 10 May 2007 in Helsinki, Finland performing nineteenth in the competition, following Macedonia's Karolina Gočeva with "Mojot svet" and preceding Malta's Olivia Lewis with "Vertigo". The song finished eighteenth in the competition, thus missing out on a top-ten position which would have secured a place in the finals.
