Denmark DENMARK 2024 - Saba - Sand

[ESC United Mod Team]

I've heard this song is actually meant to be an ode to former great Executive Supervisor of the ESC Jon Ola Sand.

I'll make sure to throw in some votes for Denmark from the Netherlands this semi, Sand is currently my 2nd of this semi and I'd be gutted if we lost it in the semi

When comparing the semis, it currently seems as if semi 2 is the hardest to qualify from. No matter how I look at it, Denmark looks like a borderline qualifier. Which makes it all the more problematic that Saba's vocals are so shaky. When only a few votes are going to make a big difference, Denmark will need a strong vocal performance, and I doubt she can deliver it. She may be trying to improve her voice this spring, but that could easily be cancelled out by her nervousness when she hits the stage.

Perhaps DR will try to add an even louder backing track - there seems to be no limit to the amount of backing tracks allowed at Eurovision these days.

Well... 'dank u wel', for that

Denmark isn't exactly a Eurovision stronghold: Saba's "Sand" barely made it into the singles chart before it disappeared again. The song reached a 36th place which is actually worse than Reiley last year.

Did any of the others chart?

Apparently not, but there are four songs from the Junior MGP in the top 40!

Looks like you should be saving some of those songs for the adult version.

That's not a good idea, judging by what I heard from that show.

While there were 8 minutes to send in televotes in Denmark after the last song, there were 28 minutes in Sweden! (And Melfest is even regarded as a quick show.)

I am a bit conflicted. I like it, but I feel like it will be too anonymous for televoting (like 2017). I don't see it as a safe qualifier, but enjoy the tune

 

[toinou03]

She knows what she's doing but the song is so bland and generic... It's not unpleasant and you keep it in mind but there's nothing really winning your heart in it...

 

[grazy2266]

I hope for a qualifier here, its a little generic and in the semi I think it will be borderline to qualify.

Upgrading this to

Best Danish entry since Anja imo

 

[Sandy]

I'm unsure about this song. It's nice, but I don't think I'll listen to it often

 

[Ianp16]

I know this song is generic, and sounds like a Sweden entry from 10 years ago, BUT, it is by far my most played Eurovision song this year. I can't get enough of it.

The whole Melfest 2024 sounded like something from 10 years ago.

 

[ViVillRejv]

This is the only song I always forget about this year... Have listened to it several times but nothing sticks. Being the most forgettable entry I have to give this a 0.
