Christine was the only artist to sing in Norwegian out of all 18 to appear in this year's Norwegian selection. The song, Elf dance, draws on elements of Norwegian folk music for its inspiration. Christine takes it directly to the international final in Athens thanks to Wig Wam's ninth place for Norway in Kyiv last year.
