3. Irresistible
Now we go over to Scandanavia, where girlband Irresistible went from X Factor to Melodi Grand Prix!
Girl group Irresistible came to light when they entered the Norweigen X Factor in 2010 and finished in 9th place!
The girl group came back into the spotlight when they entered Melodi Grand Prix 2012 with Carl Prit and performed the song "Elevator". Sadly the girls and Carl failed to place in the top three in their semi final so did not progress to the final of MGP 2012.
