Meet the Danes (or what’s left of them)

Earlier than normal Dansk MGP takes place on Saturday 21st of January – only 2 weeks away and already has been shrouded in controversy as many of ye already know, Tine Lynggard’s ‘Nowhere’ was disqualified for being released on the interwebs earlier last year so now the usual line up of 10 is now 9.

The line-up for Dansk MGP will be :

1. Jesper Norshtedt - Take out hearts
2. Aya - Best thing I got
3. Kenneth Potempa - Reach the sky
4. Ditte Marie - Overflow
5. Phillip Hallou & Emilia - Baby love me
6. Suriya - Forever I be young 
7. Karen Viuff - Universe
8. Soluna Samaay - Should have known better
9. Chris Brons and Patrick Isaksson - Venter 

The Danes have also livened things up a little with new voting rules – basically as well as public voting they now have international jury voting for the final selection – once they get to 3 entries – it’s all public until that point. Germany, Norway, Russia and Azerbaijan each have 10 percent of the vote as well as the native Danish jury with the other 10% and the public making up the remaining 50%. As you may notice this is the previous 4 winning countries.
