FIRST IMPRESSIONS – DENMARK 2017 SONGS
I have listened to all 10 songs, the 30 seconds or so they published. Like the Polish 10 songs, none of the Danish 10 are bad, but after such a short listen, nothing stands out. Here is what I thought after hearing it once
10th place
ANTHONY – SMOKE IN MY EYES
This was like noise in my ears but this I did not want to runaway
9th place
RENE MACHON – WARRIORS
I thought we had enough warriors for a life time at Eurovision
8th place
JEANETTE BONDE – HURRICANE
Austria brought a great Hurricane in the 80’s but this one can pass me by, I won’t be caughted in a love storm by this
7th place
THOMAS RING – VESTERBRO
The only non English song and it is quite nice although reading on internet that it is about prostitutes
6th place
IDA UNA – ONE
Very nice girl but the song is like 100 or so I hear regularly, nothing stand out to make me want this to be my number one
5th place
RIKKE SKYTTE – COLOR MY WORLD
The spelling of color is American and the song sounds American
4th place
SADO VIDOO – NORTHERN LIGHTS
In the early 70’s a UK group Renaisance has a song with this title which was fantastic, I was hoping for something similar but it did not reach the same heights
3rd place
ANJA NISSEN – WHERE I AM
I guess she is the favourite, she looks sings, sings nice, but the song is not a WOW
2nd place
JOHANNA BEIJBOM – A.S.A.P
Love the title but felt slightly disappointed at the first hear
1st place
CALLING MERCURY – LITTLE BIG LIES
The other 9 acts are all solo artists, this is a duo and I like it, it is easy on the ear and I already know it after 30 seconds. But I guess the average voter will not like it
