"The moment we've all been waiting for!" Wait a minute... Are we watching a song contest just to see a few minutes guest appearance?

WTF Hatari is gonna perform at this year's Roskilde Festival. Guess I could go if I don't have anything else to do

Maybe she's trying to compete for the Barbara Dex award!

That's pretty damn close to what I was about to write!

One of few competitors for worst song. I could see myself having nightmares with clowns dancing to that song! Would be terrifying even though I'm not afraid of clowns.

So what's the number for voting for Måns?

Somewhere ranging between 22 and 10315 times better, I believe.

Well. One conclusion from me: No matter who wins, it'll be better than last year's winner!

I'm actually not sure whether I'll vote for anything for the first time.

That Belarussian girl could be the little sister of a girl who I've had way too many beers with the last few years. They look rather similar.

Yeah. Wasn't selected. Not the first time a song was sent to Melodifestivalen but ended up in another country (we've had a few of those in Denmark as well)

He wanted to

Well. It was Lundvik and one of the chorists who gathered the group, not the Swedish television or something...

I only read it because somebody shared the news that most Scandinavian media has left the arena as they don't trust the security...

Or maybe they just have a popular black singer and though that the chorists were the right ones for the song?

Yup, and he made the same comparison

Are you Thomas Treo?

Cute but rather boring. But once again. More than 100 times better than Netta. Should be a clear winner

A rather uninteresting start, but still manages to be 100 times better than Netta...

In Denmark we have one designated polling station where you're supposed to vote (each city is split into districts). If you cannot be there during the election day, you can cast your vote earlier. As I'm volunteering as a party member, the parties need a certain number of volunteers at certain stations. The spots at the station where I'm supposed to vote had been filled when I volunteered. Therefore I cannot vote sunday as I cannot leavy the polling station to go and vote where I'm supposed to (would take 1½ hour or so). Last time I volunteered, I could vote the same day as I was the same place as I was supposed to vote and could therefore take a quick break to vote myself if I wanted (though I voted before back then as well).

Yup. Going to vote tomorrow as I'll be a volunteer on election day.

That would be rather boring considering that we only have one... But nice win for Asgreen!

Well. General election in Denmark has been set for 5th of june, meaning that we'll have 2 elections withing about 1½ week (European Parliament may 26) We have 13 parties fighting for the 175 Danish seats. 4 of these aren't in the parliament at the moment, the Christian Democrats who haven't been elected since 2001, 2 new right wing parties "The New Right" and "Hard Line" (a party with some nazi tendencies, who only just got approved) and lastly Klaus Riskær Pedersen, lead by a man with the same name who is mainly known for a fraud case. It does seem very likely that at least one of the right wing parties (who makes the current ones seem very main stream) will get elected. It's a rather chaotic time where it doesn't look that certain how things will work out, but it will be interesting to be a part of!

Here are my votes: 12 pts 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1st res 2nd res 3rd res Thanks for the votes. Haven't had much time to follow this time, but I will be back for the Open with a great edition in cooperation with @wumo26
