Tim: Here’s a bit of advice for future Danish music show producers: if you’re going to have massive smoke cannons, try not to get your microphones right on top of them.
Tom: Oh crikey, it’s like Morrissey had a breakdown and started liking pop.
Tim: Erm, yes, well, regardless of that, what a chorus. And, in fact, what a song.
Tom: Yes. That build and lead-up into the chorus promises so much — although I’m not quite sure that Discount Morrissey can live up to that promise.
Tim: No. Combine it with a bigger voice, though, and damn, this would be a wonderful entry. It has the melody, the title (which in a song that most people hear just once is probably more important than the lyrics) and the staging with the lights and, yes, that dodgily-executed smoke. But I suppose that extra volume does make it seem like the audience is going utterly nuts for it, so it possibly wasn’t entirely accidental. Oh, what a cynic I am.
Tom: Cock-up before conspiracy, every time.
Tim: Fair point. Anyway, give us a stronger singer and this could have been a fantastic entry. As it was? Not quite enough, unfortunately, but oh, the potential.
