Re: DENMARK 2019

Quick thoughts on the danish songs:

"Anywhere" Simone Emelie
I always expect the worst in Denmark, cause it is so rarely I like their entries. This is a decent start though. Chill out disco song that might not work in Eurovision, but I enjoy it. Not bad, but not a winner.

"Hold My Breath" Rasmus Faartoft
Pretty decent chorus, but the verses is losing my concentration. A nice try, but it doesn't work for me for some reason. May grow later perhaps.

"That Vibe" Leeloo
Haha, what the heck is this? It is like psychedelic Daft Punk and funk. Reminds a little of Belgium 2007, but more slick and more real. Could be worse actually. But nothing for ESC.

"Love Is Forever" Leonora
Oh this is actually really cute. And her voice is very nice. Reminds me of a song, but I can't for my life come up with what song it is similar too. But anyhow, this is nice, even if it is slightly repetive towards the end.

"Dronning Af Baren" Humørekspressen
I want to like this more than I do. It tries to be fun, psychedelic and cool, but still...it feels childish and pointless. So I just say no.

"Say My Name" Sigmund
Okay, DR has taken a pill or two when choosing these songs, cause this is even more psychedelic. A little repetive, but I do like it in a way. It has nice lyrics and the singer is interesting. Might be something decent on the cards here.

"League Of Light" Julie & Nina
This is really schlagerish, but I do find it pretty decent. Is this song having lyrics in Inuit-language or something? That makes this a little more interesting and the chorus is not bad. I do like this pretty much in the end.

"Dancing With You In My Heart" Marie Isabell
Nah, this is wrong kind of schlager for me. Way too old-fashioned for me. And cheesy. Worst song so far to be fair.

"Step It Up" Teit Samsø
Very Bon Jovi kind of a rock song. I like his voice quite a lot. But the chorus is horrible...I can't stand that kind of funk, just ewww...no!

"Kiss Like This" Jasmin Gabay
I often don't like when nordic countries does latin flavour, cause it is often done wrong. This is done pretty well, but I don't know, it is something too much in this too. Those kiss sounds is making me hide behind a pillow...just stop. But the chorus is pretty nice.


I don't know what I feel about this...I must be honest and say that it might be the best DMGP I've heard in ages (and I have hated this NF for many years...)....but at the same time it feels like I've been on a acid trip when listening through. I have to think on this for a while before judging which I like the most. :lol:

Re: DENMARK 2019

Denmark outblanding themselves once again?

Well, they went outside their comfort zone last year and did something not bland at all. That top 10 result probably scared them off from doing that again. Being that high gives them a nosebleed.

03. Leonora - Love Is Forever 8/10
04. Simone Emilie - Anywhere 8/10
05. Jasmin Gabay - Kiss Like This 8/10

I Like the Danish NF. Julie & Nina must win, love that song. I adore Teit's Song, also. It's 5:5, because they have five really strong Songs, they make me cheer for Denmark and they have five Songs they are ok, boring and awful. Hope someone from the strong side will win.
Julie & Nina for Tel Aviv!!! x12s

Re: DENMARK 2019

The loosely translation of some of the words in the song “League of Light” by Julie and Nina.
Uummatitta = Our hearts
Puigunngilaa = Never forgets
Nunagisarput = Our land, where we come from
Toqqortarivaa = It hides everything
Siunissamut = So we can face the future
Ammasumut = With open arms and opened minds

League of Light

There's a dark side to every ray of light
There's a shadow on my other side
It's a balance, nothing wrong, nothing right

Living is learning to love

We are more than an echo of the past
We're a feeling that will last burning in the league of light
Flying away from darker sides, over mountains, over ice
Through the fire to unite in the league of light

Uummatitta
Puigunngilaa
Nunagisarput
Toqqortarivaa
Siunissamut
Ammasumut

Living is learning to love

We are more than an echo of the past
We're a feeling that will last burning in the league of light
Flying away from darker sides, over mountains, over ice
Through the fire to unite in the league of light

Asanninneq
Inunni tamani

Qaamanermi
Inuuneq una

We are more than an echo of the past
We're a feeling that will last burning in the league of light
Flying away from darker sides, over mountains, over ice
Through the fire to unite in the league of light

More than an echo of the past
I am learning to love
It's a feeling that will last
I am learning to love
Flying away from darker sides, over mountains, over ice
Through the fire to unite in the league of light

Re: DENMARK 2019

As far as I know the song is about both Denmark and Greenland. It is about the feeling of belonging to two places.

Re: DENMARK 2019

I think Love is Forever is the only one that could qualify at Eurovision. You should never underestimate the simple and cute songs.

Re: DENMARK 2019

Dreadful selection :? Only ''League of Light'' and "Anywhere" sound decent to me, but if Norway sends Keiino than they should send Simone Emilie.
Still, Denmark will struggle to qualify

Leonora Jepsen, the figure skater, gets a perfect 6.0 and 12 points from me! Carly Rae may not be related, but once she sees "Love is Forever". she'll want to send her a Quatchi or Miga plush for good luck.:D

Re: DENMARK 2019

good lord when people said this one was bad i thought it was just the usual bland danish roster but with the usual one or two good entries to actually win

but no, ALL of them are bad. what the fuck. worst NF in recent memory. i am rooting for jasmine because at least kiss like this is hilariously bad rather than just bad.

Agree. You know, I thought this was going to be a great NF considering their odds but I’m not very fond of any of their entries tbh... sadly

Re: DENMARK 2019

Same here. Denmark's and UK's sections are the only ones where I find absolutely NO entry that I like. :(

Re: DENMARK 2019

How's the status of MGP in Denmark? I feel like their entries have dropped in quality ever since 2014 sadly...

With the exception of last year.

Re: DENMARK 2019

Yes I enjoyed Denmark last year, but it was definitely the staging and Game of Thrones vibe which lifted it for me :D
Tormund in Eurovision!
