Melodi Grand Prix 2004
Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) organised a national final once again to select the Norwegian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 final, held on 15 May in Istanbul, Turkey. The 2004 Melodi Grand Prix was held on 6 March at the Spektrum Arena in Oslo, hosted by Ivar Dyrhaug.
12 songs competed to become the Norwegian entry for Eurovision, with the winner decided by two rounds of televoting. The first round of televoting selected the top 4 songs, which progressed to the "Super Final". A second round was then used to select the winner.[1]

As Jostein Hasselgård came fourth for Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, Norway was an automatic finalist for the 2004 Eurovision final, held on 15 May. On the night of the final Knut Anders Sørum performed third in the running order, following Austria and preceding France. Norway received 3 points for Knut's performance of "High", all from neighbours Sweden, coming 24th and last. This was Norway's tenth last place finish in Eurovision, a record that has, as of 2011, yet to be broken.
As Norway failed to reach the top 10 in the final, the country was forced to compete in the semi-final of the 2005 Contest.
