"Smuk som et stjerneskud" - Jørgen & Niels Olsen
"Beautiful like a shooting star as time passes, she looks more beautiful year after year"
The Danish Final was held on February 19th at the Cirkusbygningen in Copenhagen, hosted by Natasja Crone Back and Michael Carøe. There were two parts to the show - firstly, a televote to decide the top five songs, which were then performed again. Then these five songs were voted on by a combination of televoting and an "expert" jury which included Eurovision 1999 winner Charlotte Nilsson, Richard Herrey (Sweden 1984), Michael Teschl (Denmark 1999) and Lecia Jønsson who took part in several Danish finals.
