Agger

Joining the Winter Olympics bandwagon! But well, the song is about wanting to escape into the wilderness and longing for a place in nature. Though we do have some decent forests, it's nothing compared to our neighbours, where there are much better chances to escape "the real world"

Myrkur - Ulvinde Lyrics: Ja med ondt skal ondt fordrives I en svunden krop Buret inde som et dyr de lukker aldrig op Fanget i en dårekiste, drypper af mit blod Mørkets trofaste lakajer lænket til min fod Norge Norge Norge Solen er gået bort I nattens regn og vind Min barndoms tunge port Låst i mit kolde sind Langt ned i de dybe dale Der spejler sig i søen Det er her at jeg vil leve, det er her at jeg vil dø Under flodens askegrene finder jeg min sjæl Skyggerne forstenes, lyset slår dem jo ihjel Norge Norge Norge English: Yes, by evil, evil must be fought in a bygone body Caged like an animal, they never open up Caught in a madhouse, dripping my blood The loyal lackeys of the darknes, chained to my foot Norway Norway Norway The sun has gone away In the rain and wind of the night The heavy gate of my childhood Locked in my cold mind Far down the deep valleys mirroring in the lake This is where I wanna live, this is where I wanna die Under the ash branches of the river I find my soul The shadows are being petrified, the light is killing them Norway Norway Norway

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the presentation of the Danish song for the TAISC 2018. Though the Danish jury has more or less been the same all through the years, we have been able to send different artists every time spanning a bunch of different genres. Now we will add another one. The results haven't always been as we hoped for, but we have kept fighting. From Kashmir to Sort Sol, we have been proud of all our contestants. And we are this year as well. It was hard to pick. 4 very different artists/groups were in the pot. A song was selected, but exept for a couple of mediocre live recordings of half the song, it wasn't possible to find it on youtube. Other songs by the same band were considered, but most of the songs on the shortlist weren't on youtube. But we haven't given up on them. They may be back again, maybe even for the next open contest as more of their older stuff are on youtube. Therefore we decided to let another artist participate. It comes from a genre that I usually don't listen to, but the latest album from this artist has truly caught my attention. With a magnificent voice and a fantastic mix of the tough sounds of the metal and the more mystical, folkinspired vokals, we have one of the greatest Danish editions to a musical niche for a long time. It is therefore my honour to present the song from Denmark... Wait for it...

Disappointment in the Danish jury After several hours of discussing, it finally seemed like the Danish jury had managed to agree. "A song has been selected and we're expecting to announce it in an hour or so", the chairman, Agger, happily stated 10 minutes ago. But the joy was short. The technicians working on the presentation, lead by Mattias (who looks stangely much like Agger), announced a few minutes later that no video was found that was useful for the presentation. Therefore the jury has once again locked the doors and will try to find a new song. It could be by the same artist, but 4 artists have been in considerations, meaning that another one could get the shot.

And there goes Rex Tillerson! Though I was in no way a fan of the appointment and think he was pretty bad as secretary of state, I don't feel confident about Pompeo being any better!

No solution in sight? After about 2½ hours of meeting, the Danish jury still haven't found any solution and will therefore take a lunch break. Chairman of the jury, Agger, was seen leaving the meeting room angry walking towards the cafeteria, while none of the other jury members have left the room most likely meaning that either they are trying to find a solution without him, maybe even meaning a coup or that he is indeed the only member of the jury. We will keep on following the situation!

Will Denmark ever decide? As the final meeting of the Danish jury has started, reports state that no agreement is in sight. Though most jury members came smiling to the meeting, several unnamed members have told other unnamed people that things aren't going well between the members. The growing jury of more or less identical persons have never really seemed to be able to work together, but somehow still manage to find a solution, participating in all editions of the Song Contes and even more impressively leading the committee of countries voting for the winner every single time, making people speculate on whether the Danish jury members are actually controlling the entire contest. It is also still speculated whether the growing number of members are identical twins, clones or just the same person working under different personas. Everything about the jury chaired by "Agger" is questionable, but right now there are nothing to do but wait and see if he/they can decide ...

The Danish jury will be having their final meeting tomorrow to decide!

I was personally considering doing the same and thought about doing it when the qualifying systems are out So yeah, plenty of interest

I'm not completely sure, but I guess it's about trying to prevent a boring race where it's just a bunch staying together.

Rather interesting choice and it would be huge for Danish movies to have an Oscar winner in one of the "production" categories. Would be the first since 1931.

So close to that gold!

And it's a final!

Anyone know what happened to ?

Top 4 for Jonas Winterberg-Poulsen!

Not Samir & Viktor. I'm getting soooooo tired of them in Mello!

Was that the coup de gras from Benoot?

How I've missed those pictures!

Rather interesting. I have some friends who had their flight to Accra cancelled this week. They managed to get a hotel, though.

I know that it's on Swedish TV (SVT1), but other than that I don't know.

slightly overweight though I've lost almost 5 kilos this year and am expecting to go down to normal weight (in BMI) before the end of the year.

Haven't been able to follow Melodifestivalen much this year, but I have heard the finalists and som of the songs in andra chancen and I'm indeed not very impressed. But sadly I feel that more and more the last few years.
