In 2020, Norway selected Ulrikke to represent them in Eurovision with the the song ‘Attention<\/a>‘. But since Eurovision in 2020 didn’t take place, so a new entry had to be picked for 2021. NRK, the Norwegian broadcaster, opted for holding the selection show, Melody Grand Prix, as usual, but invited Ulrikke to participate with a guaranteed slot in the final, but she turned down the offer, as she didn’t think she had a good enough song ready for the contest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

With Melodi Grand Prix happening, 26 songs were selected to perform in the contest. Six acts of those were chosen by an internal jury to go directly to the final, and the remaining 20 acts battled it out over 5 semi finals. Each semi-final was held in tournament style with four contestants, where two songs went up against each other in head-to-head duels, and the winners of the initial duels would then compete in a final duel. The 3 losing acts from each semi final would then compete in the Second Chance, for a chance to win the wild card, and thus the 12th and final slot in the final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

There were 12 competing acts in the final, which also saw performances from Ulrikke in the interval. She presented to the audience both last year’s winning song and her new song ‘Falling Apart’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
