Denmark: With BEN & TAN and “Yes” at Eurovision 2020
For the first time without the audience due to crowning, the DMGP 2020 was completed shortly. The big winners are Ben & Tan with the song “Yes”, and will therefore represent Denmark at Eurovision 2020 in May in Rotterdam.
Hella Joof and Rasmus Bjerg were the presenters at the DMGP 2020, which was being held at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen.
The most significant change, however, compared to previous years is that the music for the songs at the DMGP 2020 final was accompanied by a live orchestra, namely Antonelli Orchestra, perhaps the most famous live orchestra in Denmark! The last time a live band was used in a Danish national final was in the distant 1999.
Tonight’s guests were Denmark’s Emmelie de Forest, winner at Eurovision 2013 and last year’s Danish representative in the competition, Leonora.
The contestants:
- Isam B – Bølger
- BEN & TAN – Yes
- Maja og de sarte sjæle – Den eneste goth i Vejle
- Benjamin Kissi – Faith
- Emil – Ville Ønske Jeg Havde Kendt Dig
- Sys Bjerre – Honestly
- Jamie Talbot – Bye Bye Heaven
- Sander Sanchez – SCREENS
- Kenny Duerlund – Forget it All
- Jasmin Rose feat. RoxorLoops – Human
