Eurovision 1971 - Norway

Hanne Krogh performing "Lykken Er" ("Happiness Is"), the Norwegian entry at the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest.

A very cute song (written by ESC veteran Arne Bendiksen, also responsible for Norway's 1964, 1966, 1969 and 1973 entries) and an even cuter performance by 15-year-old Hanne Krogh - you gotta love what she does with the umbrella! It didn't go anywhere in the voting, but this was by no means the last we'd see of Hanne, since she'd represent Norway two more times, as a member of the group Just 4 Fun in 1991 and, most notably, as one half - along with Elisabeth Andreassen - of the 1985 winning duo Bobbysocks (she also wrote the lyrics for their 1987 entry).

how old is she??

[tasosk3]

She's 15 in this video.

[Rusken0]

Det er talent! Hun er like nydelig som stemmen hennes. Og hun er fremdeles like herlig!

Jeg mener den sangen passer PERFEKT å synge for en 15 åring!

That is indeed a cute song; I'm finding myself humming it to myself over and over again, after just one listening. Hanne Krogh demonstrates that she's a natural performer indeed, only 15 here and already giving a very professional, charming performance (love the umbrella as well).

@Aadnesen Men alikevel går du inn og hører på sangen? Ja, da må det virkelig være en tullete og dårlig låt, altså! Dummeste jeg har lest. Hanne Krogh fortjente så absolutt å vinne!

[joshypower]

Klingt so als sänge da Pippi Langestrumpf.

[EuroBoy1994]

Cute song which goes into Hard Rock

[kabelfjernsyn]

godt å se sang man vet faktisk høres sånn ut :)

uten autotune eller anna type tweaking.

[glarpspooge]

Happiness Is, Likken 'Er... I bet it is!

[irjajit]

@TheMartielover for me a eurovision christmas song would be the dutch entry in 1967, it's called "Ringe-Dinge"

[MatHahogg]

Lykken min er faen ikke et spann med sand

[NorthinThecountry]

grusomt !

[Aadnesen]

Tullete og dårlig låt. Den vant utelukkende fordi Arne Bendiksen var en populær mann den gang. Gro Anita Schønns "Maxi-midi.mini" burde ha vunnet den norske finalen i 1971. Den var mer tidsriktig og var faktisk tippet som vinner på forhånd, har jeg lest.

I reckon she is a cute little girl and she sings pretty good.
