Social Media Buzz: Norwegians Celebrate Gåte’s Eurovision Selection

Since their win at the ‘Melodi Grand Prix’ social media platforms have been filled with excited Norwegians expressing their delight and pride for the band that will represent them.

Fans expressed their relief that the process was changed this year as the ratio used to be 50-50. Many feel that the international panel doesn’t have Norway’s best interests at heart and would not vote for the best band.
