  • Denmark has a perfect record of never having chosen a song internally. They did, however, miss quite a few contests - particularly when they withdrew between 1967 and 1977, but also when they were relegated a few times around the turn of the millennium. Other than that, 1958 and 1965 are missing because the runners-up were not announced.

    Those last few years Denmark has an impressive track record of choosing the wrong ones.

    The 1978 Danish final included its first winner (Grethe Ingman) and its eventual second winners (Olsen Brothers). The third winner (Emmelie De Forest) was still fifteen years aways from being born.

    The 1966 photo you put for Sussie Faber, isn’t her, but rather the winner of that year, Ulla Pia. That’s why she’s seen wearing a sash. Photos of her can be found on the DR photo archive and even on the song’s release cover.

    Good video! Some minor details: The name of the runner up artist in 1990 is Birgitte Gade, not Garde. Also the official name of the preselection in 1995 wasn't Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, but Musik Event. It's so far the only year when it has been called something else.

    Wow, Denmark really made a mistake sending Anja Nissen in 2017 instead of 2016, she could’ve done much better in the Televote with Never Alone and the Jury Vote still would’ve rewarded the impressive vocals, missed opportunity to qualify

    „Hallelujah“, „League of Light“, „Starlight“, „One“, „Never Alone“, „Wanna Be Loved“, „Sleepless“, „Someday“, „Little Yellow Radio“, „Allt Mellem Hemmel Og Jord“ are such amazing songs, still listening to them very often. One of my most favorite entries in whole ESC history.
    Please Denmark, give us again the best ESC national final back ❤

    • @kjESCil
      @kjESCil  4 місяці тому +1

      according to wikipedia, the tie in 2002 was broken based on which song received more 10s, so the other song is considered to have finished 3rd

      And so what? We still had a national final and a winner, the international juries just didn't like it although it became a major hit afterwards as "Paint my love" by Michael Learns to Rock who had written it.
