Norway currently sits as the fourth favourite to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, with the country set to perform third in the second semi-final on 8 May.

Last year Norway finished fourth at the 2013 edition of the contest, where Margaret Berger picked up 191 points with her song I feed you my love.

Norway has won the Eurovision Song Contest three times, most recently in 2009 when Alexander Rybak scored a record-breaking 387 points. They also hold the record for the number of last place finishes, having ended last on 11 occasions.
