(Dagbladet Agnete Johnsen was victorious in yesterday’s Eurovision finals, but the shock occurrence of a MGP legend was probably still the greatest moment for many viewers.
At the end of yesterday’s broadcast appeared namely Jahn up on stage and the fjord a short version of the song “Voodoo,” which he sang with Inger Lise Rypdal in the Norwegian final in 1976.
But Rypdal was nowhere in sight.
Was not asked
In an SMS to Dagbladet she writes that it was fun to see his old duet partner on stage again.
– I’m always thrilled to see Jahn on stage. It was fun to watch and it took me back to memories of the finals 40 years ago. I was the co-wrote the song together with Terje Rypdal. You know, we coup the live broadcast by NRK writes Rypdal.
She also writes that she was never asked to sing along with Teigen.
– The costumes we brought forward to the live event and NRK had asked me tonight , I had enough lined up as “angel” and found some dress that I the still writes Rypdal who emphasizes that she is not disappointed that she was not asked.
– the focus was on Jahn
MGP-general Jan Fredrik Karlsen articulating follows Dagbladet.
– We did the not the whole track. It was more a tribute to the iconic skeleton shirt, perhaps is remembered better than the track itself, says Karlsen.
He believes it was therefore natural that Teigen stood on the stage alone.
– The focus was on the uniform and Jahn. Had we done the whole track, so we had of course asked Inger Lise says Teigen.
Jahn has not been available for comment.
Impressed
“Voodoo” did not win Eurovision finals, but has gone down in history as an iconic MGP- moment. During the finals had Jahn wearing a skeleton costume, while Inger Lise Rypdal wore an angel costume.
This was Teigens first stage appearance in several years, but the entertainer doubt still in the comeback.
– This could well no guessed. That Jahn is back on stage is very large. He has been away for a while from the spotlight, and that Jan Fredrik Karlsen has now managed to get him here is fantastic, says Dagbladet Eurovision commentator Anders Grønneberg.
– Really big
Teigen did not respond to inquiries Dagbladet Saturday night, but the artist tells VG that tonight’s Eurovision broadcast was a great moment.
– There’s no other word than the strange, weird “fantastic.” This was really big for me, he says to VG.
above the MGP classic was Teigens first public gig at two and a half years.
– Today there are lots of young people singing my songs. It is not something that can be measured in money. It seems that everyone has a story with me, and it’s a bit difficult to understand. But there are tears, laughter and life, he continued.
