Denmark will be performing 13th in the upcoming First Semi Final this Tuesday. The country is represented by Anti Social Media with the song The Way You Are. Are there any changes since the country’s first rehearsal? What is the impression left by the song amongst the other entries in the running order? We try to answer your questions reporting live from inside the hall of Wiener Stadthalle.
Philip, the lead singer of Anti Social Media, has ditched the tailored suit he was wearing during Denmark’s first rehearsal and he is wearing a much more informal top for this, second, chance to rehearse the Danish entry (whether that just means that his suit is at the dry-cleaners we will have to wait and see at the 1st Semi Final. Philip looks a bit more confident to me than when the band first rehearsed. The song actually comes as a nice change even from an entry as beautifully performed as Russia’s. People are dancing to the song in the press centre as I am writing these lines. A fun, fresh song I was not that keen on to start with (whatever happened to Suitcase), which is nevertheless nicely presented and will probably make it to the final.
Denmark has managed to qualify to the final seven out of the nine times it has competed in the semi finals.
