Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015
Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster announced that Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2015 would be organised in order to select Denmark's entry for the 2015 contest.The event was held on 7 February 2015 at the Gigantium in Aalborg, hosted by Esben Bjerre Hansen and Jacob Riising and was televised on DR1 as well as streamed online at the official DR website.The entertainment director for DR, Jan Lagermand Lundme, stated that the competition would seek out "real songs that have a story to tell", mentioning the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 winning entry "Rise Like a Phoenix" and the second-placed entry "Calm After the Storm" as examples of such.[17] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.[19] On 26 January 2015, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.[28] At the end of the show, Denmark was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
