This is one of my favourites this year so I hope it gets the attention it deserves, but the draw right in the middle near some big favourites might drown it out :( Might not have too much of an effect on the points though :p

Prediction: 11th - 15th

This song was far from great. It was neat and pleasant....

I was surprised that the nordic neighbours didn't really go for it too..

Denmark finished last in 2002 with a similar song. So they should've known better....

Wouldn't say that the terriible "Tell me who you are" which deserved to be last in 2002 was similar to "Should've known better" :)

Wow, my Bottom 5 actually all bombed this year. After two great entries this was incredibly dull so I am not surprised about the outcome. It is an honor to make the finals overall so congrats Denmark on making it this far and see yah in 2013

I had kinda seen it coming that we weren't gonna go for the win this year, but seriously, that low!? Had expected maybe around 15th-18th'ish.

I'm not even a massive fan of the song and even I am shocked we did so poorly. :shock:

My thoughts:

It's a good and very pleasant radio song, no doubt. It's in my top 14. But it lacked something special. To be able to stand out in this contest.

When I saw Soluna's the first few seconds tonight, I knew she was extremely tense, and I knew her facial expression was UNpleasant to look at for most viewers, and this would kill her chances at a (planned) top 10-15.

Yeah, like Marlene in 2002. She was also very tense and nervous, this poor girl....

So sorry for Soluna! Even with the song being composed so simplisticly, I always enjoyed her fresh and natural style of performing. I expected she would do better. But she had no spectacular show to offer like Sweden or Russia.

This definitely deserved more points. Such a nice, simple and straightforward song and performance.

Soluna's tweets:

I want to thank everyone for their support and kind words. We are all so happy to have participated.

I love that I have met so many new fans from all over the world. Without Eurovision it would have taken me a lot longer. xheart xheart

This whole experience has taught me so much!! Thank you!! My fans are the most important!!

Sweden and Denmark were my favorites. Happy for Sweden but so so so sad for Denmark. As an act I liked Sweden the best. But of all songs yesterday 'Should've known better is the only one I downloaded and listen to on my Ipod.

Without some nordic and neighbourly help, this would've ended at the very bottom
