I hope Danemark won't gain only teardrops thanks to Emmelie... I find her song annoying though her live was really good... And it just gets stuck in my head (good point, contrary to Albanian song I listened several times to try to remember it and I just never could'nt remember it ! :D )
But I really hope she won't repeat Soluna Samay with early fan-cheering and crashing after all...

Just because you think It's "bland" doesn't mean that Denmark are guaranteed an average result. I can see this doing VERY well. Obviously there are loads of songs to come, but in the current (rather poor) field of confirmed ESC songs, this stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of song quality. That's the way I see it, anyway.

I am predicting here, my friend and looking at patterns. Soluna's victory resulted in a similar initial reaction. Nobody knows for certain but the fun think is to predict and estimate things. And that is my estimation :D

Almost all the songs were the same. Such a generic, bland NF.
The best song won thoug, and I think it's the best song chosen so far.

I honestly can't recall Soluna getting this kind of reaction, but my memory is really bad (not joking) so I'll bow to you on that.

I have to agree here, I don't recall the same pre-"favoritism" with Soluna as with Emmelie.

Thanks for video link,

Great Denmark! xyes
It stuck in my head after first listen, that's something haha ;)
Seriously, this is very good! xcheers
So far douze points for me, along with Gravity.

EDIT: As for Soluna - I loved her, I love Should've Known Better, felt really sad that she flopped in terms of result, sometimes great songs just are underrated :( Happens at ESC. I just hope Emmelie will give us both very good vocal and stage performance (not over-done, hope it will be about right sth like now I think) and then when we hear all the songs we can only hope (correction, I can only hope you can vote ;D ) that she will be ranked high and appreciated.

Don't get me wrong, I personally didn't care in that sense I didn't fancy any of the songs in the Super Final. I just wish Denmark would come up with something that I would consider remarkable that will be appreciated outside the ESC community as well.

It's great that a song was selected that many people like so I'm sure when I go to Malmo you guys will make sure I'll ask the right questions ;)

Plus she seems incredibly likeable so it makes it easy for me to be happy regardless :D

I think this could do a New tomorrow. Being venerated by the 'jury' but leaving the viewers rather cold. xthink

Thanks for the link but I think I'll pass reading through all those pages :lol:

I mean, I don't remember people hating on it or anything, but it seems the hype around Emmelie's entry have been bigger though in comparison to what I recall back then.

I'll gave you the link to the right page, right after the resuls ;)

But I learned something, too. I gave Soluna 5 points and I actually like this one a tad better so I guess I have to change my points to 5, too
