What do you think about the song?

**Stathis** Sun Jan 22, 2012 6:07 am

I like it.Beautiful song

**Samuel** Sun Jan 22, 2012 6:30 am

I also like the song. They took a good song for Eurovision!

**jantzen** Sun Jan 22, 2012 6:25 pm

I'm not crazy about the winning song, I liked "Venter" by Christian Brøns & Patrik Isaksson. It's a shame Valen:tine got disqualified, she would have won DMGP.

Maybe the performance need to be better, or they might not win.
(If anyone wants to listen to VALEN:tine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AojGup56Nk8 )

The funny thing is that Patrik Isaksson is Swedish, and I also believe that Jesper Nohrstedt is half-swedish, according to Patrik Isakssons twitter. lol!

the song is not bad, but not great either. Reminds of Sweden 2010.
Last year was much better

Yes. It reminds me of Sweden 2010 too. And we know how that went, very bad.

**Jessica** Mon May 14, 2012 11:07 pm

I liked it. It's pretty much the same thing of the national final but she as a lovely voice at least

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 12:27 am

I like the song too, but I do not think it will go well for her.

I think much about Sweden 2010 with Anna Bergendahls song "this is my life" when I hear this. Denmarks song this year is better, but still it is the same. I think she is standing to still.

**Miranda** Thu May 17, 2012 4:57 am

She seems pretty relaxed on stage, and her voice is good. I think she will qualify, because she is different from Anna Bergendahl.

Found this clip, I laugh my eyes out everytime I watch it. It seems that Soluna has been spending some time with some Irish twins lol!

Sorry if i posted this video for those who don't like Jedward, but I find this so funny smile

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 5:19 am

Yes, I think she is much better then Anna Bergendahl and probably will go to the final. But I do not think she will get a good result in the final.

**Miranda** Thu May 17, 2012 5:25 am

i don't know. i'm torn, i actually like the song, i won't take anything for granted.

**Linen** Thu May 17, 2012 5:29 am

I think she can, considering there is loads of more other weaker songs this year. In 2010 there were loads of strong songs that conquered out Anna smile

I love her, she's awesome! And I love that video as well haha lol!

And also she follows me on twitter! Very Happy

Yes, but is it really something that can success in ESC? I do not think so.

**Miranda** Thu May 17, 2012 5:32 am

it's so hard. i know she will qualify, but i have no clue how she will place in the final then. i'm going to stay neutral and say in the middle. Wink

I do not think she will get a better place then around 13-15.

**Linen** Thu May 17, 2012 5:45 am

Hopfully top 10 smile

I want to have her video on the DVD smile

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 5:53 am

So top 10 get to have an video on a eurovision DVD? Or what?

yep yep

So dissapointed that Blue's video wasn't on the 2011 DVD cause I really wanted it! They placed 11th so they just missed out on it Razz

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 5:57 am

Is all songs in there, but only top 10 videos or what?

**Miranda** Thu May 17, 2012 5:59 am

yeah, all three live shows plus the videos of the top ten and interviews with the winners. We have like every single ESC DVD, from 2004 to 2011 Razz

Me and rebecca are big ESC freaks lol!

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 6:06 am

So you have Helenas 2005? :O
I would want that!

Is Soluna Samay an new artist like Finlands Pernilla Karlsson? Do you know anything if she was known in Denmark before?

**Miranda** Thu May 17, 2012 6:10 am

After what I read here, she seemed to have had an carrier since she was like eleven. But it is so little info, so it feels like she wasn't too known about before entering the national final in Denmark.

**Samuel** Thu May 17, 2012 6:15 am

Yea, I watched the Danish wiki page. Looks like she have traveled a lot in different countries.

Well, 100 millions of watchers. Isn't that good promotion for her and everyone else?

"Fra hun var to år[Kilde mangler] rejste hun med sine forældre rundt i Europa og i resten af verden, med Guatemala som udgangspunkt. Som femårig begyndte hun at selv at optræde med sin far. Hun startede med at spille trommer, og et af favoritnumrerne var 'Jambalya' af Hank Williams. Ved siden af sin sangkarriere læser hun musikvidenskab på Københavns Universitet[1] Sidst på året 2011 udgav Baltic Records hendes debut album "Sing Out Loud" der indeholder 14 af hendes egne sange."

That she since 10 years in age, have been traveling around the world as Guatemala as the main point. She started with playing drums and she have released an album. And also before that text it said she was in duo from 2001. Nothing more interesting.

**Samuel** Sat May 26, 2012 6:31 am

She looks very different just because of a new hair style.

**Miranda** Sat May 26, 2012 7:39 pm

I dunno if i like it or not.

**Samuel** Wed May 30, 2012 9:14 pm

I though it would get an "Anna Bergendahl" effect. The song itself is good and for sure better then Anna Bergendahls song, but still not a song for Eurovision. I do not think it was fair that she ended up 23th of 26 countries. But eurovision is eurovision.

**Miranda** Wed May 30, 2012 9:40 pm

i don't think it's fair either. all of my favourites except Loreen fell through. My top 10 was a hell of a lot different then the actual top 10.

I prefer Anna Bergendahl's song and although this would be a quite pleasant radio song I have to agree with you that it's not the right song for Eurovision!
