DENMARK FTW

Fly on the Wings of Love for Vikings

I ADORE this performance, I can’t stop watching it…with all it features…background, some mix between snow and rain..his vocal is totally good for it, it actually makes it sincere and REAL…it’snot polished to the end, and that is what I ADORE about it..I feel like I’m with them somewhere on the sea, in the very dark cloudy day/evening..
Please keep this performance for Lisbon!

Freeze the arrow in the air
Make your mark and leave it hanging there
Be the first to turn around
Take the leap to land on higher ground

Well done Denmark. Couldn't be more happy about your choice. My favourite so far! x12s

Ermmm... I'm downgrading my to . No sooner have I listened to it more than 5, 6 times than I'm already tired with it. I can't even bear it, as I'm not even able to remember how the entry sounds.

Hmm interesting I'm humming it all day long..

I like the staging only, the song deserves 0 points. NQ for me.

Epic. I cannot stop listening to it. 12 points!

Sums up this thread right now tbh

I used to listen to entries 15419165 times and I never got tired of them. For instance, I'm Alive from Elhaida (kween)).

I really don't know what happened with Denmark after Emelie's won but last night was awful. I doubt that half of their song will even pass Moldovan or Sammarinese selection. The only song I can say I like it is Albin Fredy and his "Music for the Road" and all other songs were just bad, bland and recycled.

And winning song is like a dead body. He sang, as they said "a Viking song", but he looked like backing vocalist of Sanna Nielsen for Undo. Where is energy, where is passion. Bland, bland and bland. My mark for winning song is only 3 points.

This year, it was the only song for ESC in Denmark. Terrible performance but the song itself is ok. pts

Easily the best song chosen/revealed so far. Atmospheric, with just the right amount of cheese! The vocals could have been stronger but I actually liked the performance.

Hmmm..I think in the bold part of the sentence is the key..

If it had more energy it would be artificial to me..I like as it is..dark, and REAL act...it's like they are somewhere on the sea, not that full of energy, but tired and quite exhasted...but still ready to fight and go through the storm..

I ADORE this like it is and hope they won't change anything.....I'm tired of artificial ESC cliches..

no offense but THIS is a cliché song, it's cheesy af and it's very campy as stuff you can usually find in ESC only. Where do you find something "real" or not artificial in this ? it's literally a play. Not saying it's bad though, but i'm just saying that you can't say this feels true. It's Skyrim Eurovision Version.

not my cup of tea song-wise, but i hope this will get through cause we need some camp in the final, more yodelling, more viking realness, more wind machine, more illuminati mapping please.

BIG NO to the bold part..

I want liie this...it's alike a part of some theater play..
It's REAL in that way..not polished ESC or MF style..

xyeah

Couldn't have put it better myself. The dark staging adds to the brooding atmosphere and it transports me away to another world. I honestly cannot stop listening to this song, it's possible that I have found my first challenger for my 12 points this year (I know it's early still but I can't see my love for this waning at all).

The darkness and coldness of the stage was good; I dont need more movement or more colours. But I definitely want to see Rasmussen looking stronger and firmer on stage (bodylanguage and facial expression) - but more important he needs more energy in his voice! But I am sure those things can be fixed. And Denmark could be looking at a very good result in Lisboa.

 

[tsegaye]

I feel a bit biased when judging this song because one of the songwriters is the uncle of two of my close friends But I like the song, could have a stronger climax with the staging. I feel that Iceland would've had more success with sending this song but there's nothing we can do about it unfortunetaly I'll give it 7 for now, but it might grow on me!

 

[Zorjan]

I was thrilled to see all of my top 3 making it to the super final ! Sadly it was my least favorite who ended up winning :s
But still the best Danish entry since "Only Teardrops" ! He really needs to improve his vocal though

 

[DipintoDiBlu]

All Aboard with the vikings for Lisbon!!!!!

No, camping the performance up would completely destroy the song. It needs to tow the line between cheesy and serious. And also, "Viking realness"? This isn't wiwibloggs.
