passionpopCountry: Denmark
History...
Debut: 1957
Previous Appearances: 41
Wins: 2 (1963 – Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann 'Dansevise', 2000 - Olsen Brothers 'Fly on the Wings of Love')
2013...
Artist: Emmelie de Forest
Song: Only Teardrops
This is the current favourite with the bookmakers, and I don't understand why. Admittedly I was never hugely impressed with last years winner or the year before that or even the year before that, but this song doesn't appear to have much going for it, except that Denmark could afford to host next years event.
Barefoot and messy hair, that looks familiar, where have I seen that? Oh that's right, last years winner. When it comes to copying previous winners Denmark is up there with the best, which is possibly why they have had so few wins in their own right. Maybe they should spend less time copying and more time finding a decent act
I am not saying this performance inst decent. It is dull and the song isn't anything special, but it will qualify because Denmark has friends.
Denmark's first win was controversial after Norways points distribution changed. If something like that happened again would we cry foul, would we ask to see the Video, Video
