Dansk Melodi Grand Prix promises to be Une Internationaire affair for 2012

It was announced this past week how DR in Denmark will present the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2012 to be held in Aalborg

on 21st January 2012. Last years Grand Prix show actually won awards in Denmark for being the best TV event of last year.

We certainly agree DMGP 11 was a spectacular show-and we will be tuned in the next 3 weeks.

The recent Eurovision Final track record has found Denmark to be the most successful Scandinavian country for having Top 5 placings,

in fact Denmark have qualified now 4 years in a row (Iceland equal this feat) so it will be all eyes on Denmark will they score

in the Top 5 this year or hit the jackpot to be winners in 2012.

They will be changing the rules for voting to bring in International Jury members from Norway Germany Russia & Azerbaijan.

Following in Sweden's lead of Melodifestivalen 2011.

In 2012 the danes who do not mess around with Semi Final warm-ups, will go straight to a final of 10 songs. They even have a specially

designed new stage for this event to find the song to fly the Danish flag at Baku 2012. See an impression of the new stage see above- (could there be a hint of Sydney Opera House there for the stage?- that was also designed by a dane)
