Saturday 23 January: Eurovision 2021 Selection Shows
Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix 2021
Semi-Final Two
Time: 19:50 CET to 21:10 CET
This evening’s second semi will see performances from four artists — Raylee, Daniel Owen, Ketil Stokkan and Maria Solheim. A series of duels will reduce this number to just one finalist. They’ll join the other semi-final qualifiers, one wildcard and six pre-qualified finalists in the grand final. Stavangerkameratene — one of the automatic qualifiers — will also showcase their entry tonight.

Lithuania’s Pabandom is naujo!
Heat Two
Time: 20:00 CET to 22:00 CET
Throughout the week, much of the buzz has focused on last year’s winners The Roop. But while they will debut their 2021 Pabandom is naujo! entry “Discoteque”, they’re not actually competing. That’s because they’ve already been granted an automatic spot in the final. However, this heat will see ten other acts battle for five semi-final slots. There are several familiar names including Gabrielius Vagelis and Sunday Afternoon (aka Vilija from 2014).

Which show will you watch? Let us know below.
anyone know when exactly the roop is going to sing? will it be similar to last week when the interval act was during the vote count?
Yes, I think
I would imagine so, would be strange to have them on while the voting is open.
please dont hate on me for saying this but…
discoteque is overrated. on fire was better
but maybe it will grow on me with time
I know it’s a very unpopular view on here at the moment, but I’m not enjoying it as much either. Staying opened minded till I see it performed tonight though, I don’t remember having thoughts of ‘on fire’ till I watched the final, and it sunk in how good it was.
MGP for me <3
looking forward to Ketil’s performance for My Life is Ok
oh yeah! <3
Definitely PIN this time. Gotta see that Roop performance.
