The MGP was held at the studios of the
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in
Oslo, hosted by
Odd Grythe. Five songs took part in the final with each song sung twice by different singers, once with a small combo and once with a full orchestra. The winning song was chosen by an "expert" jury.[1]
On the night of the final Bendiksen performed third in the running order, following the
Netherlands and preceding
Denmark. Each national jury awarded 5-3-1 to their top three songs, and at the close "Spiral" had picked up 6 points (5 from Denmark and 1 from
Finland), placing Norway 8th of the 16 entries. The Norwegian jury awarded its 5 points to the
United Kingdom.[2]
