	Musicians - Birgitte Einarsen

Birgitte Einarsen is a Norwegian singer and musical theatre artist from Helgeroa in Larvik, Vestfold county. She was born in 1975. Birgitte has performed in popular musicals like Grease, Fame and The Little Shop of Horrors. She has also done the show My First, My Last, My Everything.

In 2003 she got many fans, in Norway and abroad, after her performance in Melodi Grand Prix that year, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, with her uptempo disco song Good Evening, Europe!, playing on the phrase used every year when the Eurovision hosts are addressing the millions of televiewers across Europe. As the title indicates, all the lyrics had references to the contest and usually sort of stealing lyrical parts of other Eurovision songs or songs performed by famous Eurovision participants like ABBA. The song was penned by Arve Furset, who also composed the popular Norwegian winning song by Jostein Hasselgård that year, I'm Not Afraid To Move On, which ended at a great fourth place in the international final in Riga.

This year, Birgitte Einarsen is trying again. In the semi final of Melodi Grand Prix 2006 she will perform another disco tune, called Saturday. The song is written by three Swedes and a Brit; Nichlas Molinder, Joachijm Persson, Pelle Ankarberg and Brian Hobbes. Birgitte has revealed to the press that also this time around, she will bring five dancers with her to the stage. Her trademark. But will she reach the final? January 27th evening time, we'll know the answer.
