DENMARK 2013 - Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops

[Terence]

It's up to the EBU to bring such rule though. If they are allowed, let them use it... and how much would that really cost????

 

[cegs5]

But that is the point, it should NOT be allowed. Such excessive pyro's should not be allowed. They can only be afforded by the rich countries and should be saved for winning songs....once they have won.

To have a pyro don't guarantee a place in the Final or a success. If a country can afford it let it do it. It's also not a must to do it, for instance Germany in 2010 could afford a more expensive performing but instead they just show a young girls in black outfit singing alone....and she won.

Answer me this. If there is absolutely no real advantage to having it, then why do some countries spend thousands paying for it. It's unfair and takes the song further and further away from being a song contest. It will eventually ruin Eurovision for many people. It's already happened and this will be the final nail in the coffin if the EBU isn't careful.

Now that really is me, done. I have said my piece.

Well, I also said my point of view and we clearly disagree. It's proven that sometimes less is more.

 

[cassio]

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?)

Im with Terence here:

Im glad that Denmark finally is making something extra for one of our songs....
Its all about emotions and just because we are used to have confetti after we have won something its
not in this context at signal that Denmark already has won, more an effect to show that this song ends at
its hight. And maybe there can be a happy ending after all those teardrops........

The ending of Only Teardrops is such a relief, after all that pain...

I can't petty people who are envy, they should either demand the Eurovision to band all props (ESC would be boring if you ask me)
or demand that their country starts using props too. Instead of blaming those who use it....

 

[cassio]

Oh and Euronut....... Thank you for your vote for Denmark last night ......

Thanks, that makes life simpler!

 

[Mattan]

I disliked the confetti as I perceive it as something reserved strictly for a winning act, but other than that, nothing annoyed me. Nothing strange with those pyros in my opinion, let them use them as they wish.

One thing I did note though - this is extremely dangerous for anyone wishing to win the ESC 2013. The melody isn't the best in this year's contest, but people will like it. The mainstream success can already be noticed. Also, the presentation is very appealing visually, and Emmelie should have no problem singing well in the final.
I'm still rooting for Norway, but Denmark will make everyone's life difficult from now on, if they weren't before.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

Listening to Denmarks performance again gives me goosebumps, I think that it is amazing! I like that they changed the sound of the drums which sounds more electronic/fast. And I think that the confetti was a really cute and nice detail! The water pyro has nothing to do with if a song wins or not.

 

[Smudy]

Well...

Let us watch the fight for 2nd place then.

 

[GermanBango]

let's face it, Denmark will win
Already planning my trip to Kopenhagen next year.

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.

Yes, I'm so stupid you see

If they have the money to spend in making something on stage that will help them, why not doing it? Should they feel pity for the poor countries because they don't have the means to do something like that?

And I come from a country that faced an injustice in the past. In 2007, our representative asked slow motion and EBU didn't allow this because they said it was against the rules. Last year, Sweden used slow motion so everything was ok. But I don't think it's Sweden's fault, and in this case it's not Denmark's fault (if you think that they'd deny the glitter drop to any other contestant).

Do not forget the question .... do you need all this prop to win the competition ????? look at 2010,2011 and how much was used in 2012????

There are still guys who doubt, that it wins? I don't like to say it, but now i think, it's pretty obvious that it will big time.

Oh and don't misunderstand me, this song is in my top 15, it's nice and very listenable. Yet, i don't want another runaway winner.

 

[Impressive]

Yesterday night she was my second favourite after Anouk's birds but now this song became grown up more and more, I haven't listened second semi final songs yet but I believe she is going to end it very nice. Maybe Sjælland 2014? I would vote for her in final if I simply could. My best wishes are for
