Re: DENMARK 2018

I have a feeling we will get another song about love

The true love between a man and his longboat!

I'm very glad he won since he was my favorite but there needs to be some serious work on that performance, some facial expressions would be nice :?

I don't think the juries will go for this so it will definitely appeal mostly to the televote. It's in a (supposedly) hard semifinal so I can't call this a qualifier for now. At least is way better than that screamfest from last year

Still, I think it was the right year to send this given this year's ESC theme Good luck Denmark!

I rather think that this is a Jurysong. Probably about 60/40 JV/TV.

Don't know about that... this is very camp and kinda cheesy (which is not necessarily a bad thing) so it's not the kind of thing juries vote for, but we'll see

Like "Marry me" or "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang"?

Yes, But I meant that those 2 Song were more loved by the Juries than the Public.

Sure, but we have way more examples of these type of songs that were already expected to flop with the juries

Imagine the pain if it wins or comes close, and Sweden gets their worst result ever this year

Happened already in 2010. But with Benjamin, Sweden cant finish outside Top10.

I find it interesting how divisive in a way this song is. Wouldn't expect it Personally I can't stand it. After seeing the performance I find it even more inauthentic & it just feels bland over-all. They definetly could've embraced this theme more and made something more epic out of this, including amping up the generic as hell chorus but right now it just leaves me cold in every way. It's like they've tried to be edgy, but it just doesn't work as it should, rather makes me fall asleep... I wish them luck though, the fact that many people do love this makes me think could actually do decently and maybe even better than last year, even if it's the 3rd year in a row I've had their entry at the bottom of my ranking.

Should have picked Sannie - Boys on Girls, Italy also missed out on a decent dance song (though at least that finished second).

One of the best parts about it is that I was never meant to upload the video like that and just have one video showing my reactions to all the songs. But I did not have time to finish the video last Monday, so I uploaded the video with the Rasmussen reaction as a teaser. When it hit 400 views was my mind blown, but now it is have over 30 thousand views and was shown on prime-time television. Can´t begin to describe how I felt when DR contacted me last week and told me what they wanted to do

It just proves that you never know what tomorrow can bring and need to make the most of each moment.
