To Finland and Iceland So far, Christine has released two albums, and she is currently working on her third. The name of her debut album from 2003 was Surfing in the Air and became a huge success in Norway. Due to the success it was soon released in Finland as well. In total the album sold 30,000 copies, which is considered very good for a Norwegian debuting artist. The most memorable song on the CD was the song with the same name, Surfing in the Air, which became a radio hit, and to which she recorded an exotic music video on weather-beaten and evocative coastal mountain hill surroundings on the volcanic saga island in the north Atlantic, Iceland. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

More subdued moments Christine Guldbrandsen's "difficult second album", called Moments, was released in December 2004, and didn't quite have the same magical appeal on her fans as her first record. Still, it reached the official Norwegian album chart VG-lista Topp 40. And nevertheless, the song Because of You was played a lot on national radio, especially on P1 which is the most popular Norwegian radio station. Christine's musical expression and style is still inspired by Norwegian and Nordic folk music, though this came a bit clearer to mind on her debut piece. Folk-ballads or folk-pop could be a good description of her music. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Eurovision Song Contest 2006
 Christine on stage in the Bergen semi final, which she won and thus directly qualified for the final night in Oslo on February 4th. Christine Guldbrandsen represented her native country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, after winning the Melodi Grand Prix 2006, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, Greece. The Nordic folk song she will sing there, Alvedansen (The dance of elves) - the only of 18 entries with Norwegian lyrics - is a non-typical Grand Prix entry, far from the typical schlager as it is an ethno piece spiced with chant plus fiddle and harmonica play. Thea Tunås Bratteng accompanies her on stage playing the typical Norwegian fiddle instrument hardingfele. Christine won the Bergen semi final easily through a convincing performance and live voice, though she had strong competitors in especially Queentastic and Trine Rein she won. Both Alvedansen and her big hit Surfing in the Air are right now available to listen to on a couple of websites; see below.
