Sandra Lyng came out of “Star Wars” smoking. VG continuously reviewed the performances of the night.
– I had a lot of fun and met such nice people. It’s going to be really sad not to see you, it hurts, says Sandra Lyng after it becomes clear that she is the one who has to leave “Star Wars”.
– But then I was able to get on stage three weeks in a row, so I ate well, he adds.
Lyng sang “Jolene” by Dolly Parton.
The country genre is well known to guest judges Kurt Nilsen who, among other things, has recorded a duet with country legend Willie Nelson.
– I think it will be a fun broadcast with a varied selection of songs. I want them to do the best they can, Nilsen tells VG before shipping.

Nilsen has been a mentor to the artists in rehearsals for the past week.
– It was very fun, inspiring and very good that I was allowed to make music again, he says and refers to the current crisis of the crown that has ended too much this year.
Nilsen says that country singers like to have a story and it is important that the artist knows it.
– It must be done from the root of the heart.
Tonight’s judging panel also includes country / bluegrass artist Malin Petterson and Mona B. Riise, who is a regular judge on “Star Wars.”
Last week it was the theme of the Melody Grand Prix. Then it was Anita Hegerland who was not allowed to join. She had the fewest votes overall after the first two shows. No one was going to vote for the first show.
