Eurovision 2012 Entrants: Denmark

Well, this is the time of year where it starts getting fun if you are a fan of the Eurovision Song Contest.  From now until the end of May countries are picking their entrant to the ESC.  It makes the end of winter go by so much faster, since the first signs of spring here in Alaska are still a few months away.

This entry is all about Denmark, since the winner of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix was decided this weekend.  
I was expecting some quality, since over the past few years Denmark has done really well, coming in fourth in 2010 with Chanée and N'Evergreen and fourth with A Friend In London
So let's see what the Danes chose.


Soluna Somay  "Should Have Known Better"

I'm kind of speechless. It's the strongest song so far, and it's likely to be another Danish entry that does well in the finals.
It's good.  Ir's good in a way that if given to a singer like Kelly Clarkson, it would have the potential of actually making the US music charts.

Or maybe I'm deluded by my own personal like of songs sung by chicks with guitars.

I do hope they change their costumes and staging.  It looks like Soluna raided the closet of Adam Ant while the rest of the group went shopping at American Apparel, neither of which looks particularly good.

What do you think of Denmark's entry?
