The Danish are determined to do well and win Eurovision after a string of top placings. So there are changes in the selection procedure next Saturday January 21, 2012. A jury will be added and it will count 50% of the final result. And part of the jury is made of international Eurovision stars including the winners Ell/Nikki from Azerbaijan and Alexander Rybak from Norway. Azeri Aysel , German Roger Cicero and Russian Alexej Vorobjev is added for further flavour with other music professionals. Will this bring the trophy back to Denmark? Nine songs are in the running after one disqualification, amongst them Finnish Emilia :-)

Roger Cicero who swinged Helsinki 2007 with Frauen regier'n der Welt will release his fourth album in the end of October 2011 titled In diesem Moment . All his albums so far have made top-3 in his native Germany so let's see if this one will follow. The title track In diesem Moment sounds a lot more pop oriented than his previous swing and big band efforts and it is one great track. Next year from February to April he will be touring Germany, Austria and Switzrland with his band.
