Kirsti Sparboe

Kirsti Sparboe (born 7 December 1946) is a Norwegian musical performer and an actress.

Most of her musical career has been built on participation in the widely-popular Eurovision Song Contest in which she competed three times and scored a grand total of four points.

She also participated in the 1968 Norwegian pre-selection, and would have gone on to represent Norway in 1968, but the song she performed ("Jag har aldri vært så glad i no'en som deg") was disqualified after there were accusations that it was a plagiarism of a popular Cliff Richard song called "Summer Holiday".

She sang "Pierre Der Clochard", and ended in fourth place.

Since the Eurovision Song Contest, she has released singles mostly in Germany, where she found moderate success.
