Norwegian broadcaster NRK has announced the last 4 songs that were missing from the line-up of the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix 2007 – and all of them are by Swedish authors! Lastyear there was a huge outcry in Norway with so many of the 18 songs being of Swedish origin. It will be interesting to see the reactions to today's news.

The 4 songs are:

• Ven A Bailar Conmigo (Thomas G:son)
• Vil Du Ha Svar? (Mats Larsson, Åsa Karlsstrøm)
• "Maybe" (Niclas Molinder, Joachim Persson & Pelle Ankarberg)
• I Wanna Be With You (Maria Marcus)

The biggest name connected with these songs is once again Thomas G:son. The writer of countless entries in the Swedish Melodifestivalen, including last year's Melodifestivalen winner, Evighet / Invincible for Carola that finished 5th at the Eurovision Song Contest. He has also had songs in Latvia, Estonia and has sent some to the United Kingdom and Spain this year for consideration.

The entry Vil Du Ha Svar by Mats Larsson and, Åsa Karlsstrøm,seems likely to be sung by Anne Nørdsti.
