Anita Hegerland smoked at this week’s “Star Wars,” when artists were going to sample pop and Eurovision classics. VG continually reviewed the evening’s performances.
Melodi Grand Prix was the theme of the second edition of the Star Wars season.
On Saturday’s broadcast, this year’s first contestant was smoked: Anita Hegerland had the fewest votes overall after the first two shows, and is not allowed to continue.
– I think maybe this is the competition for young people, Hegerland laughs after receiving the message.
On Saturday, MGP veteran Hanne Krogh and self-proclaimed MGP blood fan Kevin Vågenes were guest judges on the show. They sat on the panel with the only regular judge of the season, Mona B. Riise.

Hanne Krogh has also acted as a mentor to the artists at MGP’s pre-show rehearsals.
– Everyone will give the iron, and have chosen such a wide range of songs, Krogh boasts of the participants.
At the season premiere last Saturday, artists were allowed to perform songs of the genre in which they usually perform, at that time no contestant should be excluded from the program.
Ingeborg Walther, Knut Marius Djupvik and Vegard Bjørsmo topped the list of those who received the most votes last week.
Bjørsmo was also named a favorite by judges Maria Mena, Stian “Staysman” Thorbjørnsen and Mona B. Riise.
