Wednesday landed Agnete Johnsen and Norwegian Eurovision delegation from NRK in Stockholm. With greater challenges in luggage than ever before.
Early this week it became clear that Agnete Johnsen drop everything of gatherings, fantreff and press meetings before her to the fire in the second semifinal Thursday May 12.
Faced NRK Agnete – who has previously been open about their mental health problems – confirmed that this is also the reason for the troubled preparations for this year’s Eurovision.
She has yet completed their first scene samples Stockholm – and made several comments to NRK that she was satisfied with reconnaissance.

Agnete says while she is ready to stand on the semifinal stage next Thursday – and hopefully in the final two days later. The intuitive reaction of many is then; she is really strong enough to withstand the pressure of standing on a stage in front of a couple hundred million television viewers, but not to meet the most promising of fans or press ahead?
Do not worry about it . Let Agnete get the tranquility she needs! Any measure that could get her – and others struggling mentally – into the light again be respected. Everything else is devastating.
Let’s look at the unexpected consequences this decision has been for the Norwegian organizer, NRK. Finding themselves in a situation they have never been before; one Eurovision participant who refuses to engage in pre-PR for themselves and create international curiosity about his Eurovision participation.

For the hectic and noisy week that culminates with the Eurovision finals is about two things; implementing song samples to the letter, as well as conducting their own promotion as much as you can stand through interviews, PR stønt and gatherings with the press and other countries fans and participants.
This is breathless events that often causes the participants jump up from outsider room for your favorite stamp, so for example, Austria’s Conchita Wurst almost talked his way to victory in Copenhagen two years ago.
SWEDISH heartthrob: The Swedish favorite Frans get greeted in their Nordic colleagues and Nordic journalists during Nordic Night Friday night . Agnete Johnsen remains however from the common Nordic evening.
In Agnetes case should this week’s hectic program started Friday night with Nordic Night, where the Nordic countries and Estonia, have shown present their artists in that they perform their contributions to each other’s delegations and the respective national press corps, before both artists and journalists mingle and to feed into the wee hours.
How is it therefore not in years. NRK has suddenly nothing to present.
NRK debutants Karlsen & amp; Karlsen – Delegation leader Stig Karlsen and MGP-general Jan Fredrik Karlsen – it must feel a bit unfair to make such a maximum difficult start on their Eurovision adventure.
But they understand enough that they have no choice, while Agnete must be protected.
FAIR ?: British newspaper suggesting that Agnetes contributions can be ingeniously …
so the question is whether another contribution should been sent instead Agnetes “Icebreaker”, someone who could have created and contributed to the commotion that is familiar to Eurovision.
Forget it. As long Agnete and apparatus around her has assured us all that she is healthy enough to work and set the stage next Thursday, this is not a theme.
Simply because she is this year’s Eurovision winner . She also won superiorly in the Norwegian final, with almost twice as many votes as second place “Feel Da Rush” with Freddy Kalas. Agnete remains the obvious choice, as long as she wants and can participate.
And that she will thus. Meanwhile, until we finally see Agnete on stage again, we are tempted to quote the entire Norwegian Eurovision king Jahn;
Be good again. You must have to get well again!
