Denmark have released the eight tracks taking part in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix this year

The Cosmic Twins – Silver Bullet
Nanna Olivia – Hvileløse hjerter
Jean Michel – Beautiful
Fyr & Flemme – Øve os på hinanden
Chief 1 & Thomas Buttenschøn – Højt over skyerne
Claudia Campagnol – Abracadabra
Mike Tramp – Everything Is Alright
Emma Nicoline – Står Lige Her

This is the one co-written by Lise Cabble, who co-wrote "Only Teardrops", "New Tomorrow" and "Love is Forever", which I'm already rather enjoying!

I'd be very happy with "Silver Bullet", "Højt over skyerne" or "Everything Is Alright"!

Not the world's most exciting selection but Silver Bullet probably has the biggest hit potential, although it does have obvious shades of Only Teardrops and Spirit In The Sky in the melody.

I also quite liked Abracadabra, but it doesn't sound at all competitive.

The rest didn't hit on the first listen but a couple sounded like growers.

Silver Bullet definitely has the same synth loop as Monsters and Spirit In The Sky and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

Silver Bullet is not bad! I think the vocals could be hit or miss live though since they both have that shakey style voice.

Silver Bullet = MGMT Kids

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st March 2021, 02:46 PM

There are def similarities but its a good thing as i loved kids and this is very catchy too.

Posted by: Colm 1st March 2021, 05:27 PM

It's the best of the lot.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st March 2021, 09:50 PM

Hopefully its what goes through.

Cosmic Twins bombed it on the performance (plus, yaknow, Denmark!)

This 80s pastiche got the nod in the end but I actually don't mind it for a Danish song.

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th March 2021, 08:47 PM

I don't hate it, but that's got to be a surefire DNQ?

Posted by: Alex! 6th March 2021, 08:59 PM

lord, this is not it at all.

Posted by: Liаm 6th March 2021, 09:00 PM

That's verging on completely embarrassing, oh dear

Posted by: b 6th March 2021, 09:05 PM

okay this could be the best song they sent in a WHILE. it's super dated and everything but so catchy :')

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th March 2021, 09:26 PM

That is so cringe and it screams DNQ.

Posted by: Cameron 6th March 2021, 09:34 PM

Oh. My. God!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: WoW73 6th March 2021, 10:05 PM

I actually like the (studio version of) the Danish entry....

Posted by: eurovision4ever 6th March 2021, 11:25 PM

So the two songs everyone hate, Denmark and Germany are
My top 2 by an absolute mile

Posted by: Iz 💀 7th March 2021, 04:45 AM

lmao

well they look like they're having fun at least!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th March 2021, 12:01 PM

(I really like this )

preferred The Cosmic Twins though!

Posted by: diva thin muffin 7th March 2021, 12:04 PM

While none of their songs were particularly strong I can't believe they chose THAT very Our Choice

Posted by: LexC 7th March 2021, 01:31 PM

They've confirmed that they'll be keeping the song in Danish making it the first completely Danish language song since 1997

Posted by: Tafty 7th March 2021, 04:17 PM

I low-key like this a lot! It's SO cute. DATED AF though and is surely out during the semi's?

I'm gonna enjoy this for what it is though.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 15th March 2021, 02:24 PM

Initially I thought it was awful but it's really grown in me now, its dated but fun.

Posted by: Jerick 16th March 2021, 03:12 AM

I absolutely love this

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st May 2021, 12:38 AM

I eat my own words, i went from hating this to absolutely loving it and disappointed it DNQ. Silver bullet was brilliant and probably would have qualified but thank you Denmark for giving me 2 songs i now love.

Posted by: Bré 15th June 2021, 01:41 AM

I've listened to this song a couple more times now and it's now pretty comfortably my favourite song that DNQed this year and up there with my favourites of the year overall. It does sound like it was plucked straight out of an 80s time capsule - in a 'this could literally be a song released in the 80s' way, not just 80s inspired like The Weeknd et al. - so I can get why it might come across as dated but there's something really addictive about it anyway. Sad that it didn't make the final especially considering it did well with the televote and was just sunk by juries (9 points from the juries?!) I hope it doesn't discourage Denmark from sending songs in their own language again.

Oops at how overwhelmingly negative the reception was here when the song came out tho (it does seem to have been one that built up more goodwill by the time the contest started though, similarly to Portugal)

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 30th June 2021, 07:48 PM

Its my fave song from the contest this year i just find it so uplifting which was a huge u turn for me, its a shame it did lose out on qualifying as it wasnt far off but it was the juries that screwed it over,

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 30th June 2021, 07:48 PM

I also liked silver bullet in their pre selection and it prob would have qualified for denmark but its another song i listen to alot.
