Eurovision 2017: Denmark

Denmark seems to love sending save, middle-of-the-road songs to Eurovision.   On occasion, these choices allow them to win the whole contest.  In recent years, they haven't been able to send the song to the final.

They're hoping to change that with this ballad.

Anja   "Where I Am"

This is one of those songs that is more about the artist doing a lot of vocalizing than actually interpreting the lyrics of the songs.  It's rather reminiscent of last year's Australian entry.   The difference is that the Danish song is much lyrically weaker that the Australian entry from last year.   You can remember the words of "Sound of Silence", but "Where I Am" is the song where the girl sings about "putting down my armor".

Anja is vocally strong and the chorus will be memorable enough in the recap to likely allow the song to qualify.   I can't see this challenging for the win.
