This could have been so much more, but instead it remains a carbon copy of the Danish national selection. I know the real people at home probably won’t have tuned into Danish Television via the web on a cold Saturday night in February and will be getting this fresh but, as I said previously, it just has the feel of half-arsed lazy staging by the broadcaster.
It also sounds as though Jonas’ voice is a little weaker than the other day, and the effect of this belter of a song has been lost. Quite a lot if, I am totally honest, and if I look at the actual performance through critical eyes, it’s almost as though you can see the guys counting to eight in their heads as they move around the stage. It’s very wooden.
I said on Tuesday that it could easily not qualify, and today’s performance has cemented that view.
