I knew Denmark will make it into the final! He was simply the best during 2nd Semi Final. Even Robby Williams wouldn't be ashamed of this song.

Go Denmark! You're my fav!

@Dr Love Wilson, takk for støtten! :D Den islandske sangen er også veldig bra! Lykke til i kveld!

Denmark is one of several countries which benefited from the two semis and more songs going through. I'm glad it's in the final if only because Simon was seen around wearing a Serbian football top or some such thing, in which he looked really good. The song is something you hear as backing music for bank and building society TV commercials. It won't hurt to hear it again in the final.

Denmark got my vote yesterday and will maybe get it tomorrow. It's a question between Finland and Norway!

Jeg håber mine venner fra Danmark skal blive én af de top 10 sange!
Elsker jer!

im really happy this made it to the final ....simon's performance and charm made a very a good job on a quite average song

Great song Denmark has!
Norway will win, GO NORWAY GOOOO!!! Perrelli second and I think Israel will surprise with its song that surely will lure a lot of Mediterranean voters. Iceland ok, Finland SUCKS! ;(((
Anyway, nice show with horrifying songs again, that is why ESC is so good entertainment! ;))

I can't believe Denmark qualified! I mean, I'm really glad they did, but I thought they'd get pushed out by some other crap. Hooray for him.

And as someone mentioned, he reminds me of Mika too!

I'm very happy for Denmark :) This is a very good song and Simon's performance last night was great. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

Lycka till!

Of course nice for Denmark to have qualified. But in my opinion not deserved. The song is not good, very superficial. He performed it well, but so did others who didn't qualify.

Denmark is my personal top 3 ranking, after Israel and France.


DannyT [43795]

Not one of my favourite songs but he definitely gave one of the best performances on the night and deserved to go through

i think he was the jury vote... i can't see this song doing well in the final after Scandanavia has voted...

i'm all for modern music in the contest not the old fashioned stuff that makes the west continue to fail...
this would have been better outside eurovision, but good luck to him anyway.. its the chance of a lifetime

He sings about the importance of celebrating life here and now.
Maybe he should try to smile then? ;)

I was so happy when Denmark qualified!!! He is one of my favourites, but I didn't think he would qualify, so when he did I was so happy! ;)

He was second best(Charlotte was best) last night! So I voted for Denmark!

Simon Mathew are the best male-singer this year! The Swedish commentator Kristian Luuk, compared him to Selmerlöv...What an insult towards Simon!
