Denmark: DR defends Saba’s win in DMGP 2024!
The national final of Denmark, came to a conclusion yesterday, with Saba being the winner, and getting the ticket to Eurovision 2024. However, right after, there were many negative reaction, regarding her win and the fact that she ended up third in the televoting.
It’s worth mentioning that this is the second year with results in that way. In 2023, Nicklas Sonne was the one that won the televote, but after the jury vote, Reiley was the winner of DMGP 2023, ending up in another non-qualification.
However, the General Manager of DR, Erik Struve Hansen, defended these results, claiming that there is no problem with the voting system of DMGP:
“The system reflects how things also take place in the Eurovision final. After all, there are both jury and viewer votes, and we have chosen that solution this year too – and I think it’s actually a very good model.”
He then went on and stated:
“There is nothing wasted, because it is, as I said, a fifty-fifty decision. The viewers have 50 percent and the jury has 50 percent. But it is clear that you are disappointed when your favourite does not win. I understand that.”
According to the above results, Denmark will be represented by Saba and the song “Sand”, and she is going to take part in the first half of the second semi-final:
