My optimism concerning Denmark hasn't exactly grown recently. Norway and Spain are - once again - presenting experienced singers, while DR seem to stick to their "let's find some unknown artists and have them sing some calm, radio-friendly stuff" strategy. But it's not even a question of what DR intend to do. I'm seriously worried about the level altogether in Denmark, both regarding good live vocalists and song writing. I mean: Is there a Danish composer who can write a solid ballad? I can't think of anyone (except the above mentioned Malte Ebert).
The only thing that can save Denmark in terms of Eurovision is if they buy a good song abroad and/or bring back a quality singer like Simone or Emmelie de Forest to create some hype. There is no way Denmark can produce an DMGP with an overall quality like the contests in Norway, Sweden, Finland or Spain. Not as things are right now.
