Nadia, Haddy and Erik
Eurovision 2010 hosts announced
Erik Solbakken and Haddy N'jie will open the show and introduce the competitors whilst Nadia Hasnaoui will present the voting and scoreboard.
The three hosts are excited about the prestige of hosting the largest and longest running television music competition. "During the voting, it is important everything is transparent and fair for all, and at the same time it might get extremely exciting in the end. I'm proud and humbled over being given this opportunity" says Hasnaoui.
"We have been through an extensive process, and in the end we think we've found the absolutely best hosts for this job," says NRK's Executive Producer Jon Ola Sand told eurovision.tv. You can read the full news release here.

Oh and please no rhyming couplets either. No 'Now let's put together hands to greet our friends from Netherlands'. That was too much. That was Dr Death in 2001 I think.
As long as none of them scream and shout and ball 'let's take look at excitement in green room' at the top of their voices in faux American accents I don't care who they are or whether they speak any French. I say this every year but every year I get some loon shouting 'let's take look at excitement in green room'.
Attractive & good command of both English & French. In my opinion the voting should only be in French - douze points has much more schwung! Now let's hope they get good scripts... Good choice :-)
Karl:
Well, I think 3 hosts are great. One of the hosts who speaks French fluently (Nadia) is going to be in charge of only the voting in each of the semifinals and the final. The other two are going to be the hosts of the shows. I guess one of those or maybe both can speak French too and all of them can speak english. So, whats the problem with 3 hosts?
Sara: bingo. I watch the 3 ESC shows at a friends house
There's going to be THREE hosts??? Oh, no... not Eurovision '99 again. I hope they'll be funny and they'll each speak a different language.
Kristina:
I don't know about him (I don't watch TV, thank god)
How can you watch ESC if you don't watch TV? Or is that the only TV-program you watch? 
paul:
Ahh I see. Your job seems very exciting and you are lucky to meet all those people 
Hope it went well on your report-job yesterday. I'm afraid we don't have spanish channels here in Norway (at least I don't) hehe.
Marky:
today I opened the door for this African couple with a pram in town, and the man was like "Oh very good, good discpline you see" and I was like awwwwwww
Ohh, thats my boy. How sweet of you You see, it feels good to do a good deed or be nice to someone who really appreciates it

Yes I have Ohh, they are taking part. Then I must watch it. (I'll be back from my easter vacation in Spain by then). We have a similar show in Norway called "Beat for beat". We have had a lot of Swedish artist here too...Måns Zelmerlöv, Peter Jöback, Pernilla Wahlgren, Caroline af Ugglas, Tommy Nilsson, Robert Gustafsson, Carola, Tommy Körberg, Charlotte Pirelli a.o hehe. I like that show.
I will go and check out Johannes singing "believe again"

@Sara
yes a journalist I get to meet many people, indeed I met José G once , he is a friend of a friend of mine here in Bcn (he is based in Bcn) but that was to be honest, outside my job as a journalist!, and Daniel D, yes I met when I was in Madrid, but before he sang i Eurovision, I met him at Telecinco studios (private channel), he was appearing in a Tv series there, he is earthavery nice man, down-to.earth, I remember then we talked about Eurovision etc, that he was a big fan, and also, he is very handsome face to face, all he girls agreed!, sonow dear Sara I have to go on reporter duty, (for Catalan news 24 hrs) you could see "handsome me too" if you could get Catalan (TV3!) channel! un beso paul cl
ps for the moment I am in "home studio!!
Marky:
Heeeeey! There you are. Hehe, they released me *yeay* or actually I fought my way out of captivity. You have no idea how much I have missed you guys. I felt like a little girl who was put in the shame corner, not allowed to talk to my friends, only watch them from far away 
Love ya too
Joey:
Be patient my dear You'lll be one of the first to know when we know something about that, for sure
Oh look the rebel girl is back... hmph. Who let the dogs out !?
Love you Sara !! 
paul:
So you have met Daniel also. Remember you said you met Jose Galisteo at your friends house (wasn't it him)? You seem to know a lot of famous people in spain..hehe...probably due to your job as a journalist, perhaps?
"The best show ever"..Don't have tooo high expectations now...then there is a possibility you could get dissapointed..and we don't want that..hehe.
Marko:

Stage pictures/video?!?!?!?!
It's almost middle of the March, cmon! :/
@Sara
yes welcome back Sara, I for one missed your comments loads, and was surprised about your ban (compared to other comments I've seen, I asked ESC today about their criteria but still no comment?), anyway, am really looking forward to a great show in Oslo this year, am sure it will be the best ESC ever! as for Daniel, well I have met him, he is the loveliest person you could ever meet, and besides, he is a big ESC fan, which helps!..
mehmet:
Hehe, I promise
I like these 3 Nadia has a lot of experience, and the other 2 seem promising. This is actually a relief, I was afraid they would pick someone totally lame and talentless.
And ofc, the most important thing is always decent english and no retarded jokes. So here's hoping
@Sara
dont hide anymore for long time like that
Here's hoping they don't a) shout at the audience all the time; b) pretend to fall in love and speak in rhyming couplets or c) mess around with the announcement of those countries who've made it to the final.
If it's anything like the 1996 Norwegian ESC then we're in for a great time.
