Final
Eight songs competed during the final on 4 February 2006 held at the Spektrum in Oslo. The winner was selected over two rounds of public televoting. In the first round, the top four entries were selected to proceed to the second round, the Gold Final: "I Hear Music" performed by Hans-Petter Moen and Kim Arne Hagen, "Absolutely Fabulous" performed by Queentastic, "Alvedansen" performed by Christine Guldbrandsen, and "Lost And Found" performed by Jorun Erdal and Geir Rønning. In the Gold Final, the results of the public televote were revealed by Norway's five regions and led to the victory of "Alvedansen" performed by Christine Guldbrandsen with 77,568 votes.
Norway automatically qualified to the grand final, because it was on the top 11 last year. She performed fifth, following Latvia and preceding Spain and finished in 14th place with 36 points.[1] As Norway failed to reach the top 10 in the final, the country was forced to compete in the semi-final of the 2007 contest.
