Bettan, Kikki and Lotta (pictured), Alfie, Ingvild Pedersen and Soda. Those are the four clear favourites among those who have put money on one of this year's entrants in the Norwegian national final Melodi Grand Prix 2003. The hottest tipped songs for Riga are therefore Din hånd i min hånd, One, Anyway you want it and Fool in love. Åse Karin Hjelen's ethno ballad Han kom som ein vind has the longest odds of all twelve entries.
