"In addition, there is much attention paid to the artists that participate in Eurovision , so you have to be ready to do a lot of interviews , radio appearances , meet new fans and offer themselves. Winner man all the fun, so waiting potentially 195 million viewers from around the world , so when you have to control the nerves and voice.." Vivi continued.
Last year more than 600 songs were submitted for Melodi Grand Prix 2014. The listeners group reduced to 15 songs for the national selection. How many songs will make it to the national selection in MGP 2015 is not sure yet. The concept is in process at the moment.
