GOOOOO AGNETE!!

The Eurovision artists have arrived, and the ESC-o'rama has begun.

This is the third day of rehersals in Globen, and among those who took the stage this afternoon was Norways own arctic pop- princess Agnete.

And this is unfortunately pretty much all we'll see of her before the semi May 12th.

Normally the artist have a seriously hectic scedule in the weeks leading up to the final, with press and parties and mingling and what not.
Agnete, however, have made it clear that she will not attend any press events or anything else apart from rehersals leading up to her semi-final.

This has caused some speculation among the un-Norwegian press and other interested people, as it's not exactly the smartest strategy if you want to win the contest.

But this is probably the least of her concerns these days.

The truth is that Agnete is stuggling with mental health issues, which she has been very open about. She has told the Norwegian media about her periods of depression from an early age. She is now beeing assessed for bipolar disorder.

Even though she wont do any press she is adamant that she will be on stage on May 12th. She says that Eurovision is a dream come true and that when she is on stage she feels comfortable and in control.

This of course makes me feel like an asshole for beeing so unsupportive of her song...
But Agnete, we support YOU. And wish you all the best. Both in the competition and life in general.

AND, this might be a small unimportant thing in the whole scheme of things but still... It can't be said enough, you outfit is FAAAAAAAAB.
(luckily for everyone watching, she will be wearing this magical outfit in Globen as well)

Here's Agnetes official music video for "Icebreaker". GOOOOO AGNETE!!
