Jesper gave it all at MGP 2012 finished runner-up.
Denmark has selected their entry for Baku 2012 at MGP on Saturday night. I do very often have mixed feelings with Denmark's Eurovision selection The songs often tend to be a little different & rather serious with the exception of DQ s ' Drama Queen' in 2007. You either love them (A freind from London- 2011) or hate them (Chanee & N evergreen- 2010) for 2012- the later maybe true- sorry Denmark!
This year I cannot say I am crazy about Soluna Samay's 'Should have known better'winning song. The Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2012 had lots of promise + a wonderful show and turned out to be a two-horse race between the favorite Jesper Nohrstedt & winner Soluna. I think Jesper would have been a great choice-and it's interesting the new international juries agreed with the other song -
This was the super final result-
1- Should have known better by Soluna Samay. - 110
2- Take our hearts by Jesper Nohrstedt. - 102
3- Venter by Christian Brons & Patrick Isaksson - 88
The sofa pop-ballad from Soluna-
It's certainly interesting to see how the Danes voted against the international juries- However in Melodifestivalen 2011 the opposite happened as the televote agreed with the international votes that gave Eric Saade a lead. I guess this cannot always happen- yet for Denmark it could be risky sending this mid tempo sofa-pop tune! When they have such an ideal recent Eurovision track record to date.
This tale will continue in Baku-- good luck Denmark

Totally agree with you on this. To me (and I've seen others say this) it's a total Anna Bergendahl. Not a bad song, but TOO inoffensive and frankly a bit boring. You brought up Eric Saade, so I will too: Popular was anything *but* inoffensive. I remember the the early Youtube reactions showing how polarizing it was (the likes and dislikes were practically equal even after millions of views) but it wasn't a song you forgot. Should've Known Better...well, after a few listens all I can remember is "should've known better".
