Denmark DENMARK 2016 - Lighthouse X - Soldiers of Love

[Rusch]

Bäh,
Outdated, weak pop song with Eurovision bullshit bingo.
Come on, Denmark you could do better.

I'm sure Denmark will not win the third time in a row after a Swedish victory.

 

[Sammy]

I think this will do better than many here think..... But yes, a revival of the "danish-follows-swedish-victory" is rather unlikely

 

[aardvark]

....I have the feeling a lot of people in this forum just prefer screamy diva's in a dress with a bland song....

Yeah, it seems that every NF has at least one of those screaming divas that gets overhyped ad nauseum and is by default the preferred winner. If anything else dares to get selected, it immediately gets buried under a heap of steaming hate.

My ears are oversensitive to such screaming divas with their power ballads and they cause me a lot of pain. Maybe the two of us should start the anti-diva support group?

 

[Kairit]

↑ I'll join the support group!

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

I don't like when the word "diva" is used in a derogatory way to offend all the female singers, and that's what a lot of eurofans do. Just leave them alone, and keep listening too your trashy, dated, cliché favourite songs instead.

Then the motion to establish the anti-diva support group is accepted! Our first order of business is to make the world better aware there are other options for songs than screamy ballads and could even be better

I usually think that eurofans use "diva" mostly as a positive note. I do not intend to offend all female singers, most of them I actually quite like. So are
Lena Angun Soluna Samay Maya Sar Loreen Greta Salome Emmelie deForest Zlata Ognevich Margaret Berger Molly Mei Finegold Molly Sterling Polina Gargarina Rykka Francesca Michelien One of my favourite artists of the past years.

I mainly get annoyed by the eurofans, who are in love with every stereotypical Europop or Ballad song specifically made for Eurovision. Since these types of songs are barely listened too outside of the contest. These fans see these type of songs as the only option, even when there are plenty of other "diva" songs already selected and will hate any other option or genre that wins. Indie rock is usually hated (see ), boybands are often hated (), rap never does that well in Eurovision. Just screamy ballads and europop songs are the key to success.

What you are saying mostly applies to these Eurofans. I should leave the "diva songs" alone, yet most fans won't leave this song alone because it beat 2 diva songs. And you're claiming that this song is trashy, dated, cliché and a favourite. But usually this is actually how I would describe most of the "diva songs" themselves. I don't think they are bad per sé, only extremely overrated

I can put all these songs back to back and barely hear a difference:
Mika Newton - Angel
Maja Kuec - No One
Nadine Beiler - The Secret is Love
Pastora Soler - Quedate Conmigo
Kaliopi - Crno I Belo
Eva Boto - Verjamen
Ivi Adamou - La La Love
Eleftheria Eleftheriou - Aphrodisiac
Dina Garipova - What If
Aliona Moon - O Mie
Hersi - One Nights Anger
Sanne Nielsen - Undo
Tolmachevey Sister - Shine
Valentina Monetta - Maybe
Elheida Dani - I'm Alive
Edurne - Amanecer
Ann Sophie - Black Smoke
Melanie René - Time to Shine
Amber - Warrior
Edena Tarifa - Fairytale Love

Could you imagine if the entire contest was like this

I hope that you are right... If we win Copenhagen City would hardly organize another Show so close to the last one...... So it would be Herning who will host the show
I therefore highly recommend NOT to waste your vote on Denmark until next year!!

Where we jet again will send a big surprise to the ESC........ Another blend boyband.......... We love boys, more than screaming Divas!!

No, You are right, I will stick to a few...... one of the few are e.g. Rona Nishliu from Albania ..... I lost several crystal glases the evening!![h=1][/h]

 

[Sammy]

edit - misread your post
sorry

 

[GermanBango]

Every year there usually is one song that I love unconditionally while almost everyone else seems to hate it with passion ... the honor this year goes to *drum roll* ... Denmark, which is (for know) the only chosen song that I really enjoy - the rest is just very meh or even annoying (Yes, I look at you Spain and Austria)

 

[Fierro]

This sounds very dated.... But i love it!

I find this and austria to be roughly the same song... Both very annoying indeed. How do you establish the difference?

Whaaaat? Weird. Austria is just very dated and "schlagerish" imho (and I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the French language ... it's been a torture in school )
Sure, Denmark may not be something overly innovative but it's still miles away from being dated.

That's right. Dated and schlagerish are words that come to mind in both instances. Infantile is another one, hard to avoid. In Denmark's case it aggravates as incongruent as the "boys" even look kind of old-ish.

I can't understand why the fans on this forum gives better votes to Ireland and accusing the danish song for all things the Irish song is .......

[Smudy]

This song is actually growing hard on me.
