Denmark – Chanée and N’evergreen achieved the best result in years for the Scandinavian country just a month ago in Oslo. Their Eurovision-popsong “In a moment like this” got points from a lot of European countries and thus reached 4th place behind Germany, Turkey and Romania.Was the Scandinavian block at work again? And who also voted for Denmark? Find out:
Usually, when a Scandinavian country reaches the top 5 every single one of the Northern nations will have given it top points (most of the time 12). Not so this time: The only 12 points from the North for Denmark came from their buddies in Iceland. Norway and Sweden both liked Germany and Romania better and only gave Denmark 8 points. Finland only had meager 3 points for Chanée and N’evergreen.
But who helped Denmark achieve the 4th place then? It’s a diverse collection of countries: Ireland gave Denmark their 12 points, as well as Poland, Romania and Slovenia.
These last two are quite interesting. While Romania gave 12 point non of their neighbours gave Denmark a single point. Also Slovenia’s twelve are the only high points it got from Ex-Yugoslavian countries. N’evergreen is supposed to be popular in Eastern Europe, so that might be an explanation. Furthermore, Denmark got 10 points from Latvia and 8 from Malta.
Germany was rather unthankful. They got 12 points to Denmark, but didn’T return the favor at all: Nill points from Germany.
In the Caucasus and on the Iberian peninsula, “In a moment like this” was rather popular getting 4 or 5 points from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Spain and Portugal.
This shows that Denmark did not have to rely on one region in particular for its points, which is an indicator of a good placing. For a win you need to get points from almost all the countries though and Denmark did not. The 4th place should make the Danish proud tough!
Cool analysis again! I didn’T like Denmark at all this year… Way too old-fashioned!
N’evergreen was a bare NF contender for Russia last year, that’s pretty much all for his career in Eastern Europe. He was indeed “supposed to be” (didn’t understand why, never will) . Even Kaas , only known in Russia (her shows outside Russia are purely for Russian diaspora, nothing else) is more popular lol.
Yeah 10 from Latvia, a country that use to vote for them.
Otherwise quite a fair top 5 for them (mainly because of juries imo, this was just TOO oldfashioned and mainstream).
And it’s sooo funny that they got 1 from Russia xD
oh oh oh webmaster (good analyse) but think you forgot that we got 12 from ireland too
the first 2 votes was 12 points to denmark…romania and then ireland and we was like HELL YEAH!! 2 12 points in a row is it a winner!?
but a 4.th place and thats okay still best place in a long time so yeah we are proud but all is going for the win so ofcause a bit sad that it didnt go all the way
but this year we have the best song in very long time in the esc imo cause it have it all
so hoping for a top 3 this time
DMGP 2008
my vote for them but they didnt won
