Calling DR Shufflepop to Denmark….

The ten “lucky” entrants that DR chose to fight for the right to represent them at the shuffle-pop-olympics are shown below. There doesn’t seem to be anyone that is instantly recognisable to Eurovision fans in the list below apart from Johanna Beijbom who has been 4 times a backing singer at the contest for various nations of fortune.

The worrying bit for us all is the fact that DR have only tinkered with the actual National Final formula rather than the complete overhaul non-danes have been clamouring for. Two round final with the top 4 going through to the so-called “Super” Final. However this year’s surprise twist is that 5 “Eurovision Superfans” will make up the professional jury!! They will have 50% of the votes in both the first round and the final but knowing how much Eurovision fans agree with each other ( i.e never) this could actually be interesting.
