/0 Comments/in , , /by

Almost 20 days after the completion of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest,the Head of Contest Twan van Nieuwenhuijze elaborates on the reason why Norway and Denmark opened the first and the second semi-final respectively.

The Head of Contest stated on the Dutch podcast Ding-A-Dong that both entries are very child-friendly and cheerful,accommodating for the contest’s needs for a joyful opening:

“Alessandra from Norway and Reiley from Denmark are both very child-friendly openers. Not only because they are both young performers, but also because of the way the act looked. Cheerful, up-tempo, those are good reasons to have someone open.”

Nevetheless,not both entries managed to yield fruitable results.Although Norway’s Alessandra managed to bring Norway back to the top 5 with her song “Queen of Kings” (achieving a top-3 televoting result),Denmark’s Reiley failed to catch the audience’s eye with his song “Breaking My Heart” and,thus,did not manage to qualify for the Grand Final,earning only 6 points from Iceland.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Denmark’s public broadcaster, DR, announced that the final of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023, will take place in Νæstved, in Saturday, February 11.

It’s the first time that Næstved will host DMGP, with the national final taking place in Arena Næstved, with a capacity of 7.000 audience.

Eight songs will take part in the competition, with the submission currently being in progress until the 28th of October in the noon.

Gustav Lützhøft, the senior editor of DR Kultur, Debat og Musik said that:

“Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is a proud tradition and a musical festival, bringing us together across generations and music tastes. Therefore, again this year, what we want is to create a show that brings Danish people together in their homes, in their living rooms and celebrates music and the art of songwriting.”

Carsten Rasmussen, mayor of Næstved added on it and said:

“We are happy that DR has chosen Næstved as the venue for DMGP 2023. If we have to say so ourselves, it is obvious, because Næstved is a city with a lot of musical culture. We even have two DMGP winners: From Næstved Musikskole singer and actress Flora Ofelia, who won the children’s DMGP in 2015, and the Næstved Ungdomsskole drummer Ihan Haydar, who won the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 2012 and also competed last year.”

Τhe group Reddi won last year’s Dansk MGP and represented Denmark in Eurovision 2022 with the song “The Show”,  but didn’t manage to qualify for the final, ending up in 13th place of the first semi-final.
