Both Oslo and Bergen arrange semifinals in Parodi Grand Prix this weekend. Oslo has it's final with 13 contestants this friday, and Bergen will choose thir last act for the national final in Grieghallen on Saturday. This show has gotten bigger and better every year, and this year is no exception.

The contestants are a very nice mixture of proffesional artists and pure amateurs. But this is not very important in this contest, where humourous acts usually gets the best placings in the end. Last years Oslo and Norwegian winner, Berit Bislet (alias Geir Lillejord from Queentastic), is co-hosting the show in Oslo, at Dizzie Showteater.

One of the favourites this year are Schlagerscwesterz from Sweden. They just love Eurovision, and has has made it a tradition to travel to the Eurovision cities, always with new glittering costumes (have you seen them? :-). In Oslo they will be singing a parody of Sweden 1982 (Dag efter dag) with a home made video in the background and new lyrics.
