Alessandra has to rest her voice before the Eurovision final – cancels show

OSLO/LIVERPOOL (VG) – There is no drama in this, says the press contact.

– Alessandra will not perform as planned during the Eurovision Village tonight, as she has to rest her voice, says MGP project manager Stig Karlsen in a text message.

There has been speculation in some fan circles whether Alessandra has had a cold in recent days, also based on previous tests before the semi-final last night, but NRK’s ​​MGP general rejects this.

– There is no drama in this, but we have had to make some priorities so that she will be in top form for tests on Friday, and the big final on Saturday, says Stig Karlsen.

He also informs that Alessandra still has a bit on the program today.

– Where, among other things, she will take part in the BBC “The One Show”.

“The One Show” is a very popular talk show currently co-hosted by Boyzone star Ronan Keating.

In general, England is among the many countries that have obviously fallen in love with Norway’s Eurovision artist. On Monday evening, the BBC had a major report ahead of the first semi-final on Tuesday, where Alessandra dominated the first minute of the feature.

On Tuesday evening, the tension was at breaking point when it was decided which ten of the fifteen qualifying countries went straight to the Eurovision final next Saturday.

Nine out of ten countries had been called up before Norway also entered the final heat – as the very last country.

– It was terrible, we were very nervous, Alessandra said herself about the tension in the greenroom when VG met her after the semi-final on Wednesday night.

– But everyone had faith, she added.

Later in the evening, she performed in the second half of the final show on Saturday, which is considered by many to be an advantage as the last songs are often best remembered.

Sweden and Finland, two of the big favorites to win the whole Eurovision and who also progressed well from the semi-finals, drew the first half of the show.

But Bettan managed to perform for the fans in the Eurovision Village:
