Can we find lyrics somewhere?
Is there a site with them like in MF?
I'd really like to see them..

Not that I know off, I will keep looking for it

@hunty73

Have you heard Maja og De Sarte Sjæle – "Den eneste goth i Vejle"?

 

[Kitakaze]

IMO, three-horse race between Say Yes, Human and Forget It All. Knowing Denmark, the most inoffensive of the three will walk away with the win. Of the three though, I think Human is the most interesting but I suspect Ben & Tan will make for the better stage show.

Should Forget It All make it, I will be super-happy. Should Den Eneste Goth i Vejle make it (which I unfortunately doubt), I will be even happier. But I doubt that one of these two will make it because I love them.

 

[RainyWoods]

Say Yes to be honest screams winner here. It's so Denmark and despite a couple of nice surprises in the selection, we've got no proper indication that Denmark are going to stop being Denmark if even for just five minutes.

I somehow believe in Maja...I dunno why, but I have a feeling they can do it, maybe I believe it will work the best with live orchestra out of them all..last year I was totally sure Zala Kralj & Gasper Santl - "Sebi" won't represent Slovenia, and they did!!

 

[Alaska49]

my glimmer of hope is that they lumped yes in the semifinal so the channel maybe doesn't see it as a winner? i am grasping at any straw here to be honest.

I'm still not over this loosing to Lighthouse X in 2016 What a beautiful song with stage potential in ESC.

Maja og De Sarte Sjæle – "Den eneste goth i Vejle

@Mrm You knew id love it its wonderful.My fav groups of all time The Smiths and The Cure,and that melody is 100% The Cure,almost direct from "Pictures of You".They even throw in Joy Division, a bit of Love will tear us apart .I never thought id hear such things in a Danish MGP

 

[Mrm]

That's unbelievable @hunty73.. And having them in Rotterdam..Gosh..I can't even imagine..
I have to watch the final of MGP..

The one tiny gripe I have about Den Eneste Goth i Vejle is the lyrical fixation on the Smiths because Morrissey is a shitty human being who deserves no admiration, but I guess I can look past it because it's written from a point of reminiscence (+ also the part where it's a really good song helps)

oh but also: what goth ever listened to THE JAM? but these are minor nitpicks

 

[BorisBubbles]

k FINE, i buckled and listened to this Last Goth In Vejle song.

and.... this is actually REALLY good??? What?? This is not the Denmark I know.

 

[Mrm]

Those lyrics are extremely beautiful...they are killing me..

Omg, this selection is actually brilliant. Can Denmark do this every year pls. There's 5 songs here that I really dig.

My ranking:

1. Jasmin Rose feat RoxorLoops – Human ... This feels like an absolute 2010 summer banger. This is hot. I LOVE it.
2. Ben & Tan - Yes ... I understand it would be a bit disappointing if Denmark went for this, because it would be the most obvious choice for them as people have said, but it would still be stronger than most entries they've had in the last 10 years. The chorus is properly memorable, uplifting and anthemic. I'm really looking forward to their live performance. This could actually be a really good entry for Denmark.
3. Maja & De Sarte Sjæle – Den eneste goth i Vejle ... So lovely, atmosphere galore. And I love that it's in Danish as well. But I didn't connect with it immediately even though this should be right up my alley musically ... I wish the chorus was done differently somehow, but I can't put my finger on what my issue is with it. Regardless, I'm so happy this song is in the selection, it's utterly refreshing.
4. Jamie Talbot – Bye Bye Heaven... I doubt it would do much at Eurovision, but I really like this. That chorus is goddamn addictive, smooth, groovy amazingness. That voice is bellissima.
5. Kenny Duerlund – Forget It All... This would be the bop of the selection if Human didn't exist. I'm kind of surprised people don't really seem to be paying much attention to it. It's nothing extraordinary at all, but I really enjoy it, it's a solid piece of pop music, done before but it just works.
6. Sys Bjerre – Honestly ... It's a bit reminiscent of their last year's entry, not sure it's one to go for, and the chorus is a bit underwhelming... But it has character, stands out and is quite charming.
7. Emil – Ville ønske jeg havde kendt dig ... It's okay, it's sweet, nothing exciting musically.
8. Isam B – Bølger... Another sweet one. Nothing about this excites me, it's almost irksome. These sort of happy light songs that just plod along almost always are.
9. Benjamin Kissi – Faith ... This is just plainly annoying to me. I have no idea what I'm supposed to get out of this. No thank you.
10. Sander Sanchez – Screens... What a loathsome no-chorus of a chorus. The whole song sounds lazy. This is bad.

 

[Daybreak]

Forget It All, Human and maybe Faith for me. I don't get why exactly is Yes a favorite?

 

[Mrm]

I've got a huge wish to visit Vejle town now...

I want to find that garage..

I have a feeling, only Nanne Grönvall – "Carpool karaoke" can beat "Den eneste goth i Vejle" on my NF 2020 list..

Good night ppl!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Denmark will probably send "Yes", but I really hope for Jasmin Rose ft. RoxorLoops - Human OR Maja og de sarte sjæle - Den Eneste Goth i Vejle
