Ulrikke Brandstorp has won the 60th edition of Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix! She will represent Norway at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam with her song ‘Attention’.
This year the winner was decided by 100% online public vote, removing the international jury used in previous years. The final included three rounds. After the ten acts had performed in the first round, the four songs with most votes proceeded to the next round. Voting started again with the top two going through to the final round. The final two performed again before the online vote determined the overall winner. The results for each round were as follows:
The ten finalists
- Raylee – Wild
