What in God's wonderful name is such divine me pleasing music doing in any national final? I'm in such shock. I never thought I'd see the day when the stuff I love outside of Eurovision (Part Time, Ariel Pink etc) actually interacts with our contest, and it's to be found in a Danish selection of all places. Only in my dreams. The production is an absolute eargasm. Literally smother the thing with that reverb.

Cicciolina's officially got competition within my heart. Unfortunately Den Eneste Goth I Vejle's chances to represent Denmark feel next to none unless people are willing to channel me for 3 minutes and get sexy with some tasty dream pop covered in a thick pink smog. This song is the absolute bomb. Who's with me?

first of all STOP BEN & TAN 2020

second of all four of the five finalists are good and fit for the task above which i did not see coming at all. EVEN DENMARK IS BETTER THAN ESTONIA POOR ESTONIA

Maja Og De Sarte Sjæle - Den eneste goth i Vejle

I can not believe Denmark just did this. What an absolute fantasy.

Me enjoying Den eneste goth i Vejle.

Isam B - Bølger

I can't help it. This really made me smile. There's something super charming in the melody. Isam's weighty voice takes us away from any sickly sweet dangers that could have been.

Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops - Human

This is what most of us want if not openly then secretly. It's that big old ethno banger and here it is in Denmark in very nice shape. I love that key change going into the final chorus. A tasty 3 minutes.

Kenny Duerlund - Forget It All

The song I liked most from the ones that made it through that weird, unnecessary qualification round. It's not pushing boundaries or anything but it's a highly tolerable three minutes. The falsetto part works really well.

Sys Bjerre - Honestly

This is super dooper cute with such a charming little melody. Climate change is obviously important but I don't think I'm really here so much for the peace song replacement of our times. I'm not into being preached at whilst I'm listening to music. Otherwise it's sweet... but I feel like my opinion could change, very much for the worse so I'm being careful.

Benjamin Kissi - Faith

Composition is alright. Lyrics though sound like they were written by a 5 year old.

Sander Sanchez - Screens

Not bad but it's not filling me up with particularly much. His voice is good I guess... Don't really know what else to say.

Jamie Talbot - Bye Bye Heaven

Another song where I feel literally unable to muster up an opinion. Beigemark truly out in full force here.

Emil - Ville ønske jeg havde kendt dig

Parts of it are almost loathsome but then it picks itself up a little by the end to avoid the red zone. Not the best folksy little pop number I've heard but neither the worst.

Ben & Tan - Yes

Evil Botulinum infused foot stompy folk popsicles that at all costs must not ever be given to the children. JUST SAY NO.

Bølger and Human both feel like 8 pointers from me which is some huge ground work there Denmark has made with my body, a country where I've enjoyed like one song in the past ten years. Forget It All is also something I'd certainly add to my Eurovision playlist. Den eneste goth i Vejle is the big deal for me here though. I can't believe I'm hearing a band like this attempting to compete at Eurovision. It's so trippy.

3. Isam B - Bølger
2. Emil - Ville ønske jeg havde kendt dig
1. Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops - Human

 

[heke1988]

Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops - Human and Sys Bjerre - Honestly are only ones that I like it. I would send Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops - Human to Rotterdam.

 

[Citelis]

This is my favorite NF of all and all the songs are at least good. Some of them are really amazing. So whetever Denmark selects will probably be in my top10 this year but with the right choice Denmark can be even my no1 this year.


1. Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops - "Human"
2. Sys Bjerre - "Honestly"
3. Ben & Tan - "Yes"
4. Maja & De Sarte Sjæle - "Den eneste goth i Vejle"
5. Emil - "Ville ønske jeg havde kendt dig"
6. Jamie Talbot - "Bye Bye Heaven"
7. Sander Sanchez - "Screens"
8. Isam B - "Bølger"
9. Kenny Duerlund - "Forget It All"
10. Benjamin Kissi - "Faith"

What is Maja Og De Sarte Sjæle's "Den eneste goth i Vejle" doing here? Where are these foreigners from? Who let them in?

This is too good to be true (and it's in freaking Danish!). Forget about Bleh & Tame (and the rest actually), this is my pick.

 

[cassio]

Just listen to Maja and the faint hearted with the only Goth in Vejle. This song makes me so sad. It starts with the title: The only Goth in Vejle .....for god sake VEJLE . Maja says the person used to listen to the Smiths and the Cure.... Mostly the Smiths when the person was saddest.... One thing I will never figure out if the person was the only Goth in Vejle, so Meja was not a Goth ..... Why the h..... did they not move to Århus so the person could be more happy........ Grrrrrrr

Oh and Rainy You are right Denmark will never send this to Rotterdam. I suspekt the most of our televoters are between 10 and 20 years old, and no way are they going to like this entry

There is enough time to change the rules and introduce one member jury panel only (@RainyWoods)!

 

[Mrm]

Oh, Mikalea Minga is for Maja...then we can have good old standard three member panel..

Why to change things which work so good?

 

[cassio]

I have noticed that and i'm wondering why?

Because I always complain in the comments about how bad DR are to select good songs
