Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023: Reiley at risk from disqualification!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Danish hopeful representative Reiley is risking disqualification after he allegedly admitted to have broken the rules!

Reiley is competing at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023 with the song “”Breaking My Heart”.  The singer stated on Instagram that he had performed his song live during the Slow Life Slow Live festival in Seoul, South Korea last autumn.  This could be potentially violated the rules of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix and Eurovision.

We must highlight that according to the participation rules for Eurovision, only songs which have not been published before September 2022 can compete at the next Eurovision Song Contest.  Further, the rules of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix states that songs must not have been performed or released publicly prior to the contest without DR’s permission.

Now the fate of Reiley lies on public broadcaster DR.  According to Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, DR is reviewing a potential violation of their rules.

However, it is still possible that Reiley can participate.  DR will deem if Reiley’s performance gave him a competitive advantage over other competing entries.  There is a precedent that can favour Reiley: Duncan Laurence performed his winning song in 2017 but the viewers were not big enough to give him a competitive advantage and it was not a commercial release.  Therefore it did not violate any Eurovision rules.

The Danish national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will take place on February 11, 2023.  Eight acts are competing to represent Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest.  The acts in competition are:

Earlier today, DR, the public broadcaster of Denmark, revealed the hosts of Melodi Grand Prix 2023, the country’s national final for Eurovision 2023.

This year the national final’s hosts will be the stand-up comedian Heino Hansen and DR hostess Tina Müller. In accordance to her hosting this year, Tina Müller has also hosted the two previous versions of Melodi Gran Prix.

Heino Hansen said:

“I’m really looking forward to hosting Danish Melodi Grand Prix. And then on my own home turf in Næstved, it couldn’t be better.”

Heino Hansen will replace Martin Brygmann, who was the co-host alongside Tina Müller in 2020 and 2021, when the final was recorded in Copenhagen.

We remind you that Melodi Gran Prix will take place in February 11 with only a Grand Final and eight songs competing.
