Denmark have had an interesting run at Eurovision over the past few years, doing very well (3rd in the Semi, 9th overall in 2005, 2nd in 2001, winning in 2000) and very poorly (last in 2002, failed to qualify in 2004).  They've won twice, in 1963 and 2000.  In 2005, their qualification was a big surprise, with what I still think was a poor entry.  In 2006, Sidsel sang her heart out, but it still wasn't enough - nor was their flamboyant, spectaculr, camptastic entry from a drag artist in 2007, so it's back to the drawing board for Denmark.

 

 

From I heard this song I was dreading having to write a review for it, and I’m even more worried about having to make a prediction.  This hasn’t made a big impact on the fans or any early listeners – but neither did ‘Talking To You’ in 2005, which resulted in Denmark’s latest top ten finish.  This song has the same happy go lucky, acoustic feel to it, and it’s certainly a catchy one, regardless of whether or not you think it’s actually any good.  In a nutshell, I don’t think the song’s all that bad at all, but it certainly is nothing special.  That said, it does have that charm which would make countries like the UK and France vote for it (also in the same Semi) which could just be the lift Denmark need.  Simon performs the song well and is a good looking guy offering a sound vocal.  Everything’s good on paper, but this one really needs to stick out from the crowd in that second semi to pull through – something which mightn’t be all that far out of reach.

 

 

An initial prediction will appear here soon.
