The eighth series of Norske Talenter, Norway's edition of the Got Talent franchise, premiered on 13 January 2017, after a one-year hiatus. Judges Mia Gundersen, Bjarne Brøndbo, Suleman Malik, and Linn Skåber all returned, and Solveig Kloppen remained the host. The winner was 14-year-old sign language interpreter Vilde Winge.^[1] Although Winde performed her interpreting to music, this was the first time the winner of the show was not a vocalist, instrumentalist, or a dancer in the traditional sense of the term. Second-place was taken by the dance duo Gemini Crew (both 18 years old), with third place going to 13-year-old accordion player Mathias Rugsveen.
