    Norway was represented by Britt Synnøve, with the song "Venners nærhet", at the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 6 May in Lausanne, Switzerland.『Venners nærhet』was chosen as the Norwegian entry at the Melodi Grand Prix on 11 March.

    Before Eurovision[edit]

    Melodi Grand Prix 1989[edit]

    The final was held at the Forum in Stavanger, hosted by Øystein Bache. Nine songs took part in the televised final, of which three songs were selected for a "super final". The winner was decided by a five-way jury; an expert jury made up of professional musicians, a press jury, and three public juries split by age group. Other participants included 1987's Kate Gulbrandsen, three-time Norwegian representative and MGP regular Jahn Teigen and Tor Endresen, who would represent Norway in 1997.[1] The evening had its controversies, as fan favorite Jahn Teigen failed to reach the super final, which was met by booing from the audience.[2]

    At Eurovision[edit]

    On the night of the final Synnøve performed 8th in the running order, following the United Kingdom and preceding Portugal. Although『Venners nærhet』had been tipped as a likely top 10 contender, at the close of voting it had picked up only 30 points, placing Norway a disappointing 17th of the 22 entries.[3] The Norwegian jury awarded its 12 points to the United Kingdom.[4]
