Lighthouse X will represent Denmark!

The 46^th edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix took place recently, whereby 10 songs competed for the opportunity to represent Denmark at this year’s Eurovision song contest. The songs competing were:

• Anja Nissen – Never alone

• Bracelet – Breakaway

• David Jay – Rays of sunlight

• Jessica – Break it good

• Kristel Lisberg – Who needs a heart

• Lighthouse X – Soldiers of love

• Muri & Mario – To stjerner

• Simone – Heart shaped hole

• Sophia Nohr – Blue horizon

• Veronicas Illusion – The wrong kind

After all the songs were performed on stage in the city of Horsens, the top three acts were announced. The voting consisted of a combination of jury and public voting at a 50/50 split. The top three songs were Simone with Heart Shaped Hole, Lighthouse X with Soldiers of Love and finally Anja Nissen with Never Alone.

This year, the Danish broadcaster DR introduced a new app which could be used alongside SMS voting. After the top 3 songs were performed again, the public were able to vote again for their favourite to win.

With 42% of the vote, it was announced that Lighthouse X would be the act to represent Denmark in Stockholm in May. Anja Nissen followed on 36% and Simone with 22%.

The show also featured the 2012 winner Loreen, who performed Euphoria on stage.
