Posted January 6, 201213 yr First song available. oRatse2chGo Like a clone of the Avril's 'I'm With You' + Pink's 'Fuckin' Perfect' mix. Why are such blatant plagiarisms even ELIGIBLE?!
January 6, 201213 yr I've read that Nowhere may be disqualified as it was available online last summer apparently, but we'll see. The singer from Le Freak is back this year though so that's the entry I'm most looking forward to hearing!
January 16, 201213 yr Clips! http://www.dr.dk/melodigrandprix/solister/solisterne2012.htm First listen through and Best Thing I Got and Universe sound really good whilst Overflow (by Le Freak's Ditte Marie) sounds suitably amazing! A lot of the usual Danish MOR but I guess they want a female artist representing them this year judging by the amount of solo ladies in the line-up. The final entry must be a 2012 attempt to try to recreate the Olsen Brothers looking at the picture. Sounds like a Take That track in Danish... So it's being performed last, it's typical Danish radio MOR (moreso than anything else here) and it harks back to their biggest ever contest hit, anybody else already see this as a foregone conclusion? :drama:
January 16, 201213 yr It's only really Universe and Overflow that do anything for me, but both sound AMAZING.
January 16, 201213 yr A decent selection of songs, the only one I'm not keen on is Baby Love Me. My favourite, somewhat unsurprisingly is Overflow followed by Universe which could so easily have been a Tone Damli track! Reach For The Sky is also pretty good too! I agree though that Venter will almost certainly win. Denmark always pick the wrong song, and it's usually the MOR pop-rock tunes that they go for :(
January 16, 201213 yr Author It's all about Jesper. I have a feeling he could make the Top 2. Only the 1st performing slot may hinder that. :(
January 16, 201213 yr Bugger, time to cease doing a personal chart? I won't even know where to start this week :lol: I'll need a top 100 at least! And make that 38 with the five new Icelandic songs!
January 16, 201213 yr Author At least you have a couple of days for songs to sink in! My chart is due tomorrow and some songs are growing and growing on me :drama: SCANDINVASION. Edited January 16, 201213 yr by E v e r d e e n
January 16, 201213 yr Ratings after one listen; Best Thing I Got - 8.5/10 (Punchy!) Venter - 8/10 (It's a beautiful worrrrld, it's a beau-tif-ul world) Universe - 8/10 (decent Tone Damli tribute) Baby, Love Me - 7.5/10 (Beautiful South circa 1996) Reach For The Sky - 6/10 (The Wanted album filler) Should've Known Better - 7/10 (It's ALL so MOR in Denmark isn't it...considering their legacy as the cheesiest/happiest country, this is strange) Take Our Hearts - 8.5/10 (Is that an Avicii - Penguin soundalike in the background? Decent pop song) Forever I B Young - 6/10 (uneventful pop and the shoehorned in dubstep breakdowns are getting really boring now) Overflow - 9.5/10 (great, Le Kid meets Robyn, adore this and Ditte has the best song in DMGP for the second year running!) So Overflow, Take Our Hearts or Best Thing I Got would be my preferred winner's but I wouldn't have a problem with Venter, it would just be all too predictable an entry for Denmark...
January 16, 201213 yr Author Rather surprisingly I like most of the songs! :o Denmark, being the best country in the whole world, sucks ESC-wise. There hasn't been a single song that I 'LOVED'. Hopefully this year will change that. Avicii to sue Jesper for using the sample :heehee:
January 16, 201213 yr Universe & Overflow sound like the best two things and I'd love for one of them to get the ticket to Baku but I really like 'Best Thing I Got' too so wouldn't have any problems with that. A couple of the others I could live with but there's always that bitterness of whatever they choose having beaten out something we view as being a lot better.
January 17, 201213 yr Author Can't stop playing Forever I Be Young <3 Take our Hearts is quite underwhelming in full :(
January 17, 201213 yr Can't stop playing Forever I Be Young <3 Take our Hearts is quite underwhelming in full :( Don't try to correct the horrible spelling Pavel, it's Forever I B Young! My least favourite song in the semi, but it's not bad, I don't think I've ever hated anything in a Danish national final, it's all far too pedestrian to show much emotion to one way or the other usually :drama:
January 18, 201213 yr I love "Venter". It would be nice to hear Danish in the ESC. The last time was in 1997.
January 18, 201213 yr SCANDINVASION. That word sounds interesting :thinking: This have been a great week so far :wub: I love how 40% of the results will be decided by Norwegians :lol:
