Really impressed by this song. Hadn't heard any of the Danish entries before this morning, mainly because Denmark disappoint me every year. However, this one blew me away from the first listen. Love the Celtic elements (someone's going to come on to correct me now and say it's traditional Danish or something).

Think this is going to be a real contender in May.

This song is absolutely amazing. It gave me the chills on the first listening. The best Danish entry in last 10 years certainly. It may also be a contender for victory in Malmo.

Pure 12 points from me!

I must admit I feel a bit embarrassed after my overly confident prediction that Mohamed Ali would win this easily. I really thought he had it in his bag...

I was in town last night so didn't watch the show, so maybe I can't have a real opinion on this, but to me it looks like we decided to send the same type of performer/performance/song two years in a row. Imo the melody of "Only Teardrops" sounds as flat as the danish landcape :lol: I don't see what people find so amazing about it?? It somehow sounds like an intro for a children's aimated television series :lol:

OK, I can't exactly hear what Emmilie tells about her family in the show. Can anyone tell if she is a princess or not? In that case, she must be the first!

I think she says some woman (in relation to Queen Victoria) gave birth to her grandfather, farfar (fathers father), but I'm not sure.

You understood correctly :)

Queen Victoria's son had an affair with an Austrian Princess, which resulted in Emmelie's grandfather.

I don't see why all of this royal blood stuff is important nor having austrian blood is important... She could have been Swedish for all that I care and represent DK with that fine song XD
ESC fans is way too patriotic... Dunno why that keeps surprising me XD Vote for the songs not for their nationality no matter how far or close related they are XD

Anyway, her name is French and I can tell you that it won't give her extra votes from France ! :D
But people will be surprised to meet a girl with a French noble name in Denmark...
