Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Denmark is having its final tonight. Ten songs, picked out of 982 submission, will fight for the right to travel to Stockholm under the Danish flag. In two previous occasions when the Eurovision song contest has been held in Sweden Denmark has won.... the pressure is on! This bloggers think there's no fear they will win again, the songs aren't strong enough. This is a bit like #UMK16: good solid entries that are all "nice" but missing that something to make them winners.  Two rounds voting; first the superfinalists (3) will be chosen by 50-50 televotin/app-jury, then in the superfinal only televoting/app.  David Jay - Rays of sunlight   LIVE Simone - Heart shaped heart   LIVE   3rd Bracelet - Breakaway   LIVE Sophia Nohr - Blue horizon   LIVE Veronicas Illusion - The wrong kind   LIVE Lighthouse X - Soldiers of love   LIVE   1st Kristel Lisberg - Who needs a heart   LIVE Jessica - Break it good   LIVE M...

Oh Spotify! Once again it has leaked the Eurovision songs. Denmark suffers the first leak of the season - I'm surprised Finland hasn't leaked yet, after all they will be revealed already next Tuesday, lol - over 2 weeks before due time. Oh boy. (Listen here , apparently now available only in Nordic countries) but they all seem to be on Youtube already as well, until they will be taken down so go hunting!   UPDATE: LISTEN TO THE SONGS HERE Among the lucky ten we have only one returnee (Simone. She did DMGP 2010 and 2013) but then there's some foreign flavor. The Voice of Australia Anja Nissen is there but her parents are Danish so it's ok.  David Jay has Caribbean roots, Kristen comes from Faereo Islands but has done the Danish X Factor. Mario i an Italian, surname Sciacca and his Muri (Murah Mahmoud) has Arabic roots.  Rays of Sunlight – David Jay Heart Shaped Hole – Simone (Egeriis) To Stjerner – Muri & Mario Blue Horizon – Sophia Nohr The Wrong Ki...

DR received a record breaking 692 songs for their national final 2013. Among the hopefuls Brinck, who's Believe again in 2009 would have deserved so much more (Once again I repeat, when I like the Danish entry it does not so good, when I don't like them they end up in top-5. Go figure...) and has become one of the most covered Eurovision songs internationally of the recent year. Will he make it better? The other known name to have sent in songs in Muri & Mario, a duo of rapping singing guys that have the habit of dropping into their songs words and phrases in rather challenging Italian, or listen to  Hun tog min guitar , Mio amore , Tysind stykker , På netdate fandt vi sammen , Cosa del amor and if you speak Italian you know what I mean. However, this put aside, there's something about them that I like. And so do the Danes, they have scored big in the charts with these songs! Will they end up crossing the  Øresund to Malmö 2013?
