## Season 2 (2010)

[edit]

The second and final season of the show was aired from September to December 2010. Auditions were held in Tromsø (28–29 April 2010), Trondheim (7–9 May), Bergen (26–28 May), Kristiansand (5–6 June) and Oslo (17–20 June 2010).

Replacing Charlotte Thorstvedt as new program presenters were Ravi and Guri Solberg after Thorstvedt received much criticism for her efforts in the first season. The judges were Elisabeth Andreassen, Klaus Sonstad, Jan Fredrik Karlsen and Marion Ravn.

The format had changed with 4 categories instead of three (with Under 25s now divided between Boys Under 25 and Girls Under 25). Each category had three finalists instead of the earlier four.

24 reached judges houses. Andreassen was helped by Alexander Rybak, Sonstad by Mariann Thomassen, Karlsen by Chand Torsvik and Ravn by Sveinung Sundli. Singer Benn was a guest judge.

The 12 eliminated acts were:

* Boys: Adrian Jørgensen, Bjørn Henrik Brandtenborg, Jonas Nybakk Benyoub
* Girls: Ingrid Galadriel Aune Brosveet, Ingrid Haukland, Madeleine Christensen
* Over 25s: Marianne Solberg Follestad, Jan Hedelund, Dilsa Calimli
* Groups: Nemesis, Skatebirds, Mama's Garden
