Most people probably remember the voting chaos during the Melodi Grand Prix when NRK had to use a so-called town jury to choose a winner, while audience votes had to be rejected.
Now the state channel is in trouble again. This time it is “Star Wars” that is affected. Thus, the remaining nine artists will try their luck again in the next program.
– At first I was very sorry
– I’m sorry Sandra had to blow up the experience, but now we hope to have her with us, says Mirja Minjares, NRK’s project editor in a press release.
Musician and songwriter Sandra Lyng Haugen ranked 4th on Idol in 2004. After this, her career gained momentum with, among other things, several good spots on the VG chart. She takes the root of the voice calmly.
– It became an emotional roller coaster after the broadcast. At first I was incredibly sad, and then I was really happy when I knew I was with. The only positive thing about believing she had smoked was not having to sing opera, says Sandra Lyng.
Many stars
In addition to Sandra Lyng (33), the opera and classical singer Emil Solli-Tangen (30), the country artist Hege Øversveen (34), the versatile winner of “The Voice” Knut Marius Djupvik (32), the rapper Myra ( 25), Kristoff’s newcomer of pop and Sami voice “Frost 2” Vegard Bjørsmo (19), soul / pop singer Odd Einar (48), The semi-finalist of “La Voz” and musical singers of Rybak Ingeborg Walther (20) and Alex Rosén (52). Anita Hegerland (59) is out of Star Wars.
Next Saturday, the remaining nine participants are ready for new challenges: Then opera is on the program. Hopefully the voting system is in order for the next broadcast.
– This is also very sad for the viewers who have pledged through voting. Precisely for this reason, we must carry out an adequate review together with the supplier, promises Minjares.
– Our job is to guarantee a fair vote.
NRK believes that the only fair thing is to give everyone another chance. The program director explains here what went wrong on Saturday night.
– We received some comments that some of those who voted by SMS did not receive a receipt message. We also saw that we received a lot of votes via SMS after the voting period ended during the broadcast and therefore we cannot guarantee 100% that we have a correct result.. It is our job to ensure a fair vote. We know that the margins are small in this type of survey, says Mirja Minjares.
