With just over 24 hours to go until Norway is due to select its Eurovision 2023 representative for Liverpool, the final acts are on the last push to promote their entry. Last week, the 2020 winner of Melodi Grand Prix, and Norway’s Eurovision 2020 representative Ulrikke released the Norwegian version of her entry “Honestly” titled “Til Evig Tid”
A more orchestral version of the song
To coincide with the release of the Norwegian version of the song, Ulrikke released a music video for “Til Evig Tid”, which is more scaled back and has a lot more instrumentation and a backing choir. To shoot the music video, Ulrikke travelled to Tromsø, Trondheim, Lillehammer, Oslo and Sarpsborg before the final version of the video was released.

Melodi Grand Prix 2023
Melodi Grand Prix 2023 will consist of 3 semi-finals of 7 artists. In each semi-final, the three artists with the most votes will advance to the final taking place on the 4th of February. Additionally, there will be a second chance show where one lucky artist who did not qualify from their original show will advance to the final. The final, this year, reintroduces the juries, and will be combined 50% with the public for the final result. Arian Engebø and Stian “Staysman” Thorbjørnsen will be the hosts for all four shows.
