Denmark

[Gavster]

The 10 final song can be heard here


Best ones in my opinion are:

1. Bryan Rice - Breathing
2. Simone - How Will I Know
3. Jens Marni - Gloria


Ronan Keating has been writing for Denmark again - Joakim Tranberg - All About A Girl. Bit of a swingy number, not my cuppa!

THE WINNER AND SONG TO REPRESENT DENMARK AT EUROVISION IS...

You Tube

Not one of my faves. I don't like all the "wanna knows" - annoyingly frequent!
Stage show is 80's and needs some serious re-jigging!

Scraping top-10 me thinks.

[Beanie]

Possibly the most boring opening minute they could have come up with. Who on earth writes this pap - unless they jazz that up they'll die on stage with this early on.

[Wizard of Oz]

The opening of the song sounds like a poor man's 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police. They will need to do a lot more with this in order to be competitve me thinks.

[MickeyPaul]

I'd say it was a rather blatant rip-off of that song, Oz. The wanker singing even has a Sting look about him. Shocking stuff from Denmark. No originality whatsoever. I suppose some of this year's rubbish does have to qualify though as Beanie mentioned in the Moldova thread. I'd rather they cancelled it all. This will be in no doubt. I honestly don't give a flying fuck.

[squallsquall]

Very ABBA-ish with the chorus...

[Gavster]

I think it's a bit "Journey" too. It's just cheap 80's perm rock. It'll get found out.

[Gavster]

Bwin.. quite interesting I think. Firstly, I think Denmark will struggle to qualify. But once in, I don't see them picking up many votes either. Last year's song was terrific, yet it failed to break into the top10. I know there is some dross out there, but 16th-20th at 10.0 isn't a bad punt.... Surely???


1st - 5th 5/4
6th - 10th 5/2
Denmark will not qualify 4
11th - 15th 6
16th - 20th 10
21st - 25th 14

[Allium]

Nice Westlife key change, would make a great X Factor winner No1!

[MickeyPaul]

Last year's song was terrific

Hate to keep disagreeing with you gavin Last year's was anything BUT terrfific - I think it finished pretty much where it should have (above Sweden @ 3.50 or whatever it was) - the singer was pretty shit and the song was pretty shit - we've got much the same here this year. I think it's 4th or 5th fav with the bookies too. Hahahaha. This. Will not. Compete.

Bah. They're better in the chorus. Still shit though.

edit: please give me a live version of this

[MickeyPaul]

I don't think this will struggle too badly to qualify, gav but I'm pretty gobsmacked this is 4th fav (bwin). That just beggars belief. Take away the half-decent chorus and this has absolutely zip going for it in my opinion. And the Police rip-off is still so blatant as to be offensive. I hope it doesn't qualify. And I think Armenia will fuck this up in the head to head (2.40 @ bwin)

edit: maybe. The Armenian girl sings pretty bad. I know who that Danish guy reminds me of now:

[Gavster]

I'm getting the shits over this now... It just seems to be doing well in all the polls. Now it's won semi final 2 with Romania in second!?!?!?!

The Douze Points second semi-final results:

1. DENMARK 112
2. ROMANIA 103
3. IRELAND 91
4. TURKEY 87
5. SWITZERLAND 78
5. SWEDEN 78
7. AZERBAIJAN 67
8. CROATIA 63
9. BULGARIA 61
10. NETHERLANDS 57
11. ARMENIA 51
12. CYPRUS 34
13. ISRAEL 33
14. GEORGIA 28
15. LITHUANIA 22
16. SLOVENIA 18
17. UKRAINE 3

I'm confused now as we've seen very little of this since it's release. There has been no new version or any word on the new choreography.

I'm feeling I should have a little speculative e/w bet on Denmark as my outsider - or go for top4. *more head scratching*

On the flipside, there were obviously spastics in the room when voting took place as the Netherlands have done remarkably well along with the ego (and self confessed demi god) that sings for Bulgaria!

[squallsquall]

They are indeed doing well in polls - although I wouldn't put too much faith in that one in particular. Switzerland 5th? Israel 13th? Romaina 2nd???

[Gavster]

Well I rate Romania anyway - just not as highly as they clearly do.

Denmark is consistent. I was talking to Beanie about this last night and I made the point that I usually don't pay attention to the polls as the minority of people that do vote are just fervent fans. But, I just can't stop thinking that there maybe something I'm missing in this song. 3/1 top-4 can't be a bad bet even though I'd much rather Croatia be there!

[Beanie]

Strange that there are no other videos available - no live performances, no promo stuff. Have they been touring at all?
