Tonight we had many national finals and the second one to conclude was Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in Denmark, where X was crowned the winner. This year Denmark did things a little differently as the winner was decided by solely the viewers. In past years Denmark follow the voting procedures at place at Eurovision with a jury vote and a televote with both having equal weighting.
You can take a listen to Denmark’s winning song Øve Os På Hinanden here.

What we think of Fyr & Flamme’s “Øve Os På Hinanden”
Below you can read what we think of Fyr & Flamme’s “Øve Os På Hinanden”
Jazzi – This has such a 90’s vibe to it, however in such a strong year, it will not be enough to make Denmark stand out. I think this will struggle to qualify I just don’t see jurors or televotes being that excited about this song. I do have to give Denmark props though for sending a song fully in Danish.
Rory – I had seen this was one of two favourites in DMGP this year. However I wasn’t expecting it to actually win. It’s great to see Danish actually make it to the contest, but I don’t know how well this is going to stand out amongst the others.
Rosie – I have listened to all of the entries from DMGP a few times, and I don’t feel like there is anything that will get them into the final from the selection. “Øve Os På Hinanden” is a perfectly pleasant song, but not memorable at all, and in a year as strong as this one seems to be, average and pleasant is not enough
As ever that is what we think of what went down tonight in Denmark, but be sure to let us know all your thoughts on our social media platforms.
