DENMARK 2013 - Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops

[cegs5]

Funny how people try to destroy this enter... It's not in my personal top 10 and I hope Denmark doesn't win this year...but I think It's unfair to say that there's favouritism ...no way!

I think DR has really over done itself this year.....useing firerain and gold confetti fits this song so well. Even though that is cost us a lot of mony (more than dkk 100.000) it is well spend ..... It looks amazing so thank you DR for once you are doing someting amazingly right for our mony (DR is a public service channel)

Perhaps you should tell Cypriotgirl that this constitutes an advantage. She doesn't seem to be able to grasp that concept.

The fact that money can buy you an advantage doesn't sit well with me. It creates a divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. I really do feel that this level of "non-creative" staging should be banned.

Was it afford by tv broadcaster only? In Finland YLE has been more austere and Krista had to find her own ways to afford her promotion and her performance, just like Lordi did it in 2006 when YLE denied to pay for pyro and paraphernalia, so they had to collect the money from the fans and events.

Eventhough emmelie is royal I believe that she cant afort to pay for the fireworks then there is only DR left

every artifect or gimick each contry use is paied buy them self

 

[Nikoreindeer1973]

Well, anyone could use glitter drops and waterfall pyro if they wanted, but because it's Denmark which is the big favorite for the win, people were annoyed.

Let all songs use glitter drops and waterfall pyros!

The big 5.... Talk about favouritism.

Aren't you from the UK?

Emmelie is adorable!!!!

The big 5.... Talk about favouritism.

You're so right.
Complaints about us being favored and buying ESC addressed by people from pre-qualified countries is double standards. If anyone bought ESC, it's them. But I guess euronut feels different about that.

 

[A-lister]

I'm sorry neighbors, while I like your entry, It was never my #1... I mean it deserve to win more than many others, but I'd still rather see some other entries winning over this...

I do think it's a bit over-hyped, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wins. Well, I'm ok with it winning but yeah... not that blown away like many others seem to be.

 

[Scooby]

She was great and everything was great. And i love it. But dont know why I cant see her winning in Saturday

 

[Terence]

General comments from friends (casual viewers) on Facebook yesterday/today is that they liked Denmark most.

 

[euronut]

No, I completely disgaree with big 5 favouritism and have spoken many times on forums about that too. I believe we should all compete to win a place at Eurovision. I have always been against a Big 5 but it's hard to argue for a change when so many countries only vote for their neighbours. I would also like to see more scrutiny on the quality of local juries. You see, I am all about fairness. That is why I am so annoyed at the way this contest is being presented to buy votes.

I fully expected the Swedes to do good for the contest by introducing a fairer contest. It seems by choosing the running order they are doing the complete opposite.

 

[Terence]

Totally agree with what the Australian commentator said on the UK coverage. It is not right that they presented the Danish entry almost as if it had already won. A glitter drops and waterfall pyro's are for a winning song. Really annoyed at that. It was like we were being told who to vote for.

Well anyone could have opted for glitter drops & waterfall... and it was similar to how it was performed in the Danish NF, so it's not as if it was staged to win (although a friend of mine did say that the use of such props is unfair - but if the option was available, why not use it?)

 

[euronut]

I felt like I was watching the performance of the winning song at the end of the grand final when I watched the Danish entry. And not because it was the best song, but because of the way it was presented. It was overkill. I don't blame Denmark, I blame those that allowed it.

It is dangerous to allow such vast differences in the way that some songs are presented. It gives unfair advantage and doesn't sit well with me when it's only there for those countries that can afford to pay for it. It should be all about the song and the artistic performance of that song.

I won't say any more as I am repeating myself and I don't wish to hijack the Danish thread. After all, it is a nice song. Albeit a little predictable.
