DENMARK 2013 - Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops

[CC92]

Well, it screamed fanwank after first listening.

I agree with this. Because Horehronie was one of my pre-favorites and I was disappointed by the performance in the SF, but still it could go through if it wasn't Slovakia but another country with neighbors and diaspora.

Denmark isn't in the same shoes with Slovakia for that (it has its neighbors that support it when it sends something strong), plus this is a song that is usually enjoyed by non-ESC fans too, unlike Horehronie that I remember most of my friends (non-ESC fans) that didn't like that song when I showed to them. This didn't happen with "Only Teardrops", it has the chance to be liked by non-ESC fans too. I don't see Denmark flopping at all! This song has what the previous entries of Denmark hadn't, it has something interesting and it's not boring. If the blandest of bland songs "come on girls come boys in this crazy crazy world" came so high (thanks to juries too) then why not "Only Teardrops" too?

Interesting that you mention this song, they both have the same composer

Really? I'm not really surprised because I've seen composers having bigger contrast than these two songs. At least 2011 entry was just bland, not bad song. There are composers who write horror songs and amazing songs, I can't explain it

One good example of that would be Ralph Siegel

Or these two songs, they are from the same composer too: 3

Peggy Zina - Apo ti Smyrni ime ego
Efi Thodi - Se gnorisa sto facebook

Unlike some countries in the south (like Germany i.e.) we allways have the composers on stage with the winners and they are as much known as the performers that evening. Lise Kappel (the composer is a woman) also wrote the danish entry in 1995 (my fave of all time danish esc entries) Fra mols til Skagen
Look it up on youtube it came 5th. (Teardrops is her 3ed entry in the ESC and the ..... entry in the danish final (feels like shes there every year)

Wait, is "Fra Mols til Skagen" by the same composer as this one??

That's prob my fav Danish entry to date!

Great.... they do sound like songs that Cyprus normally sends to the ESC but I can't remember seeing them in top 10

The first song is really nice

As for the second one, I think the theme, the video and the lyrics is what makes it look like a joke... but as far as music/composition goes it's not THAT far off is it? A bit meh perhaps...

Great.... they do sound like songs that Crypess normally sends to the ESC but I can't remember seeing them in top 10

What is Crypess? What are you want to say? None of them is Cypriot, and none of them is ESC song or having anything to do with ESC :?

The first one is a folk and traditional Minor Asian influenced Greek song and the second is a trash/joke song. Something like the contrast of "Ein Bisschen Frieden" and "The Social Network Song".

The first song is the kind of song I desperately want Greece to send in ESC one day, and especially Peggy Zina has such a charming voice.

Well, the second one is simply a trash song that was written just for fun and given to a singer with mental problems (she thinks she is the best singer and everyone loves her songs, while everyone is making fun of her). I remember many people in the Greek threads over the years mentioning this song just for fun

Sorry for the misspelling I have corrected it....

I think Emmelie pronounces "teardrops" a bit weird, something like "tirdraps". Is it only me?

Eti I think you have listen to this song way to many times Take a break and come back again in a month or two..... and Im sure the it dosn't matter if she sings teardrops or teardraps

8 points. This type of song is almost expected from Denmark. Good thing about this entry, though, is that it has more going on than last year's entry.

i can tell that the girl went to the amanda fondell school of singing. sounds like shes constantly out of breath during the verse. cute song though but far away from the quality ive come to expect from denmark, one of my all time fave eurovision countrys.

Still the best song chosen so far for me. 12 points!
