The Danish Final was held on January 21st at the Gigantium in Aalborg , hosted by Louise Wolff & Emil Thorup.
The one-off show consisted of 9 songs. There were due to be 10 songs in the running, however song 2 “Nowhere” to be sung by Tine Lyngaaard was disqualified due to irregularities about early release on youtube. This then meant (confusingly) that Song 1 was followed by song 3…
The voting was in 2 parts.
Firstly the entries were whittled down to a Top 3, from am 50% televote 50% jury vote. The Super Final consisted of song 1 “Take our Hearts”, song 9 “Should’ve known better” and song 10, the only Danish language song “Venter”.
Then the voting window was opened once more. Then the “international” juries voted. This included Alex Sparrow from Russia and Nikki (the winner last year) from Azerbaijan
The song starts off with the chorus (which is always a very clever thing to do) and the name of the song gets in your head very quickly. It is a very radio friendly song and could easily be heard on the radio stations around Europe ad even further afield. The staging is a little strange. Soluna was wearing a military inspired outfit, including oversized hat, whilst her ‘band’ is sat around her. There is not much movement but to be honest it is not a dancy song. Soluna sings the song very well and accompanying herself on a guitar. Parallels between this and Anna Bergendahl from Sweden
The Danes once again put on a fantastic show with a good range of songs and artists and to be honest the best 3 songs did get through to the super final. However I don’t think this song will be troubling the highest echelons of the scoreboard in Baku
