Dragging it up in Denmark

The Danish national final was held on Saturday night in Horsens. The winner was not even amongst the top 4 in its respective semi-final and only qualified for the main event as a wild card. So DQ (Drama Queen) was the winner and you could almost be forgiven for thinking that this is the same song as the one the Norwegians had just picked! Also, like the Norwegians I think Denmark have got this wrong. Whereas they could have sent the fantastic and powerful song by Jacob Andersen, they instead went for a bit of cheese, a camp dance routine and a couple of ostrich feathers. If Denmark and Norway now appear back to back in the semi-final it's almost sure to be curtains for them both. Sorry Denmark, but this is rubbish.

Denmark:- Wild cards

The two wild cards to go to the Danish final tonight have been decided and they are as follows:-

DQ - Drama Queen

Doing nothing for making Eurovision less gay, Denmark could end up sending a drag queen. Mind you, we all need a bit of lightness in our lives once in a while. What is it though with drag queens having better legs than girls?! Actually he's got a pretty good voice to be fair, although the song's about as original as anything written by Tommy G:son. If the Danes do decide to go for camp then this'd be the logical choice, but as they didn't vote for it initially I don't see how it'll end up in Helsinki.

Jørgen Olsen - Vi Elsker Bare Danske Piger

Oh for God's sake, when will he just disappear into your gran's stocking drawer? He's had his time now and he's even won Eurovision once already. He's still doing that little point and looking meaningfully at the camera. And I don't even want to talk about the dreadful rap part (which is about whether Jutland or Sealand girls are better)... I mean it's like your Grandad discussing college girls with you... it's WRONG! Ugghh.

Denmark:- Semi-final 2

The second Danish semi-final took place on Friday night in Ålborg. The top 4 songs, as voted by the public, will make their way to the final. Watch 'em below:-

Stig Rossen - Så Nær Som Nu

A bit of a big power ballad this one. It's not really my cup of tea, but his voice is great so I can see why the Danes loved it.

Katrine Falkenberg - It's A Beautiful Day

Twee enough to be the Maltese entry, but for some reason you just can't hate this girl. It's a country style song and is pretty calm except for the dancers on rollerblades!

James Sampson - Say You Love Me

The kind of thing that Denmark is likely to vote for sadly. It's all ok, but where's the attack in this?

Me & My - Two Are Stronger Than One

Well their voices are better than I thought they would be, but the song's really doing nothing for me.
