Denmark has decided. Tonight DR held its traditional annual song competition, the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, which took place live from Herning’s Jyske Bank Boxen. After such an exciting time during the voting process, the expert panel made up by Danish Eurovision fans and the audience with their calls and SMSs have decided on an equal combination that Anja must take the colours of their flag at the Eurovision Song Contest in May with the song “Where I Am”.

- Ida Una – One

- Rikke Skytte – Color My World
- Anja – Where I Am
- Calling Mercury – Big Little Lies
