Are You Ready?
Kim A Hagen/Hans Petter Moen
They came second this year and third in 2005 as part of the Cheezy
Keys. Presumably they will also perform next year, either as the duo
or group.
Better Than This
Mikael Jensen/Eivind Sk�vdal/Morten Hazen
Possibly perfomed by

Butterfly
Kirsti Carr
Reached the second chance round this year with Misled. We can only
hope she gets someone else to sing her song next year
Chicken Rodeo
No composers names were given...
Creator
Jan Eggum/Kaia Huuse
Well known folksy couple. He released his first albums in the 70s, she
was born in the 70s. Unusual for them to write in English. Apparently
the lyrics are inspired by Morten Harket! A famous actress/musicals
singer is set to sing the song.

Goodbye To Yesterday
Kjetil R�snes/Kirsti Johansen
Had some success at the end of the 80s as Avalanche.
Here
Eirik Husab�
All googling suggets a composer of danseband music.
Hooked On You
Birgitte Moe/Rune Minde
She was one half of 90s dance group Infinity. But don't think this
will be dance music somwhow:

Love On The Dancefloor
Taiwo Karlsen/Kehinde Karlsen
They released an album in 1994 as Brothers. These days they seem to
compose all sorts of music, so this could be anything.
Perfect Sin
Adam Alvermark
A Swede. Co-wrote Gracia's debut single I Don't Think So.

Rocket Ride
Knut-�yvind Hagen/Thomas G:son/Andreas Rickstrand
Googling for Hagen led me to OGAE Norway pages. But he would appear to
be a musical theatre singer. The two Swedes were behind last year's
bronze medallist Absolutely Fabulous.
Unbelievable
Svein Finneide/Ken Ingwersen/Daniel Pandher/Jens Thoresen/Tommy
LaVerdi/Halvor Holter
A veritable hit factory. In various combinations with each other they
are behind a large number of hits in recent years, mainly for people
from Pop Idol and the likes. They have had songs recorded by Gracia,
Alexander Klaws, Elli, Hanna Pakarinen, Gisela, Wouter and even good
old Tommy Nilsson. A possible perfomer is Maria Haukaas Storeng, who
is a former Norwegian Idol contestant. But maybe a non-Idol related
singer such a Maria Arredondo is not totally implausible.

Under stjernene (Beneath the stars)
Thomas Th�rnholm/Dan Attlerud/Kurre Westling/Micke L�vdalen
The first two wrote 2004 entry High. Micke L�vdalen (who presumably is
responsible for the Norwegian lyrics) is another one who seems to
mainly write for danseband. Possible performers here are Swedish
dansband Date, who were recently reported to be recording an album in
Norwegian. They have a couple of Melodifestivals to their name.

Wannabe
Trond "Teeny" Holter
Yes, he of WigWam. But the group will not be singing this song.
