Hooked on the Norwegian dancefloor



About an hour or so after Finland started their 2007 song search, Norway started their's in the Arctic town of Alta. They're holding 3 semi-finals and then a wild-card round leading to a grand final in Oslo on 10 February. Six artists and songs battle it out in each semi with the Norwegian public voting for their favourites. The top 2 go straight to the final, the next 2 can have another go in the wild-card round and the 2 that come last can pack their bags! Watch the two that "won" the first semi below:

Infinity - Hooked On You

Some hearty eurotechno here. The melody I quite like, the lyrics are good in places and dreadful in others, the pair of eejits singing the song are terrible looking, but she certainly has a good set of lungs on her.

Torhild Sivertsen & The Funky Family - Love On The Dancefloor

Again, she's got a decent voice, but it's quite a laid back performance for what's a dancey retro song. I don't think this would have much of a chance in Helsinki, but it's all quite funky nontheless.
