Denmark DENMARK 2021 - Fyr & Flamme - Øve os på hinanden

[escYOUnited]

Tiden er gået i stå
Hva' er det, vi venter på?
Dine øjne si'r det samme som mine
Så jeg sætter i et dansetrin
Jeg har øvet på hjemmefra
Og be'r til min skaber, at de griber mig

(Et dansegulv)
Rivaler spænder ben og fører krig
(På et, på et dansegulv)
Men hvis du ikke slipper mig, så letter vi

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksnе
Du er kvinden, jeg еr manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Tiden er gået i stå
Din kjole er lyseblå
Du si'r noget, jeg ikk' ka' høre, mens rytmen kører

(På et dansegulv)
Hvor hjerter svulmer op og går itu
(På et danse-dansegulv)
Vi bli'r aldrig mere levende end lige nu

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksne
Du er kvinden, jeg er manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Et dansegulv hvor hjerter svulmer op og går itu
Vi bli'r aldrig mere levende end lige her og nu
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden

Ingen ved, hvordan man gør
Så lad os øve os på hinanden
Lige om lidt er vi to voksne
Du er kvinden, jeg er manden
Hele gulvet er gået fra forstanden
La' os øve på hinanden​

Countries that gave Denmark 5 points or more:
Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, UK

Countries that gave Denmark 4 points or less:
Albania, Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Greece, Latvia, Moldova, Portugal, San Marino, Serbia

So there was a geographic difference in it - the further to the south and east, the less votes for Denmark. But maybe that's how it normally is.

Btw, Albania gave Denmark 2 points, while Denmark gave Albania 10 points!

That’s exactly what I predicted. It’s that kind of Schlager that mainly Western countries listen to.
And since juries names are made public, which is a shame because exactly THIS happens, nobody from the East would vote for this if it’s low in the odds because how would they justify it even if they REALLY liked the song personally?

I think their performance was energetic enough for me.

Definitely. They had improved, and the larger scene made it even more dynamic. The problem was that the appeal was too narrow. And, in the end, that the melody wasn't catchy enough.

 

[wtf]

I don't think there's any point in trying to find reasons why it didn't qualify. If a song gets such a low score from juries, it's not gonna do any better with a better staging or vocals etc. People love nostalgic songs, juries hate them. The only way to "fix it" is to lower the impact of juries, hopefully to 25/75. One of my wishes for 2022: let the spokespersons reveal the televoting points (would make more sense anyway) and then add the 25% jury ones. Easy.

What happened with Croatia was worse but when almost everyone (only Moldova didn't voted them) wants them to qualify and juries rank it below performances like Poland's then it's a true robbery for me.

Why? Croatia got just about the same amount of points from the televotes and the juries?

 

[jatojo]

But they really need to do something about the voting fraud.

Robbed and sad for Denmark. Did not help that Finland and Iceland HAD awesome entry and jury did everthing their could to ruin everything. The only song in semifinal 2 i was really sad not qualify.

Hopefully Denmark are still proud of them. They did a great job

Really? I thought the MGP performance was more charming.

Interesting side note: Austria gave 4 jury points, but only 3 t/v point. We are the only country where the televote went lower. I would have guessed the Denmark was about to smash our televote, since this is very German schlager of the 80s. But maybe the viewers of Eurovision are too young to care and feel nostalgic about it.

Yeah, but still interesting to see that there was a possible connection between the schlager tradition of Austria (we'll never know about Germany) and the votes coming in for Denmark. I also noticed that Poland and Czech Republic gave Denmark votes. Maybe we should include them in the Scandi mafia (Denmark's televoters awarded the top points exclusively to other Nordic countries).

To make myself clear I don't prefer the Croatian song, I'm actually not a big fan of it while Denmark is in my top 5. I just think that not qualifying while you are a qualifier in both juries and televoting (even borderline) is kinda not necassarily worse but maybe more unfair? Idk it just really bad luck for Croatia, while Denmark though it was a safe qualifier for the public did for some reason really bad with the juries, but it's something that has happened again.

I‘m pretty sure Fyr og Flamme would have done VERY well here if Germany was voting in Semi 2. Everyone I know loved it and even most celebs of our review show of the official ESC broadcaster loved it and still played them in their videos after they NQed. And were obviously very sad about the NQ.

Their first album is just phenomenal! So 80s! So good! Luv it!

I loved this entry from , one of the best Danish entries in years if you ask me. Sad that it did not make it to the final, it is so catchy and 80s-style and made me discover their other songs. Two thumbs up from me!
