Norway’s HoD predicts that Auto-Tune will soon be allowed in Eurovision!

Stig Karlsen, the head of the Norwegian delegation, stated in an interview with the “Euro Trip Podcast” that Auto-Tune would unavoidably be incorporated into Eurovision in the upcoming years.

This regulation was first put into effect for Melodi Grand Prix 2023, the national final through which Norway’s participation in Liverpool came about.

More specifically, he stated:

“I think it’s misunderstood and I think Eurovision will have to do it because the music industry will demand it”.

“The public think about Auto-Tune as making people who can’t sing into pop stars. That’s what you can do if you’re in a studio environment. If you’re putting someone on stage and you ask them to sing live you can’t make that person a great singer if they’re not”.

“The Auto-Tune used in MGP is optimising the sound… making it sound like a professional product like every other television show in the world”.

🗣 “Eurovision will have to do it because the music industry will demand it”
