Denmark: Emmelie De Forest, Only Teardrops

Firstly, her name sounds like gateaux. Now I want some gateaux.

Secondly, I don't want Denmark to win. Copenhagen and Malmo are too close together, so close that I'll be staying in the former for Eurovision. I want somewhere else to win.

So, while I like this song, and think it does manage to get the right balance on being twee and celtic, and doesn't have superfluous dancers, I'm prejudiced against Denmark. They're always one of those sure things for the final. It's so boring.

(All these Celtic influences in other people's finals. Will anything rub off on Ireland this year? Or will they just grab some swedish songwriter again, to sing #Generic pop song 44? Sigh)
