    haha i know she’s very popular…but Europe has more talented singers and more greatest songs … why only UK’s song can enter across countries in the world?its completely unfair..maybe if malta or sweden song enters asian continent, it’ll be so strange..!
    Peace, love and respect :)

      Hahaha tak, but you’re lucky you actually live there and could go to a concert if you wanted :)

      Ginger Ninja – check them out if you haven’t already, my little sister and I rarely agree on music (I like almost all of her music but she only likes a bit of mine because she’s sooooooo hard to please :P ) and we both like them :) She’s also a fan of Dansevise as is the rest of my family and friends :)

      But I think the biggest authority on the Danish music scene is Paschalis, where is he? :D

    the USA entry is awesome, but the contest is unfair, how shall singers from Macedonia, Croatia or whatever stand against international stars like Adele? The Macedonian entry for example was much better than Adele’s song in my opinion…I really like Adele, but she won, not her song!
