Basim is BACK. Denmark’s contestant from Eurovision 2014 will appear at the Grand Final again – this time presenting the results of the Danish voting.
Basim sang ‘Cliche Love Song’ last year in Copenhagen. DR announced him as their spokesperson for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 this morning.
Basim replaces outgoing spokesperson Sofie Lassen-Kahlke, who presented the Danish votes to Malmö and Copenhagen.
Basim, who placed 9th in last year’s Grand Final, told DR he’s stoked:
“It will be fantastic to present the Danish vote! I am excited to see the show from Austria and hope that Denmark makes the final!”
A year of former Eurovision acts as spokespersons?
Basim is not the only Eurovision act returning. The Netherlands 1998 and 2007 act Edsilia Rombley and Greece’s 2001 and 2005 act Helena Paparizou will all present points from their nations on the night.
Melodifestivalen 2015 third-place act Mariette and German national selection host Barbara Schöneberger will present the points from Germany and Sweden too.
Valentina Monetta will also appear for the fourth consecutive year and will this time present San Marino’s votes.
When Basim reads out Denmark’s twelve points who do you think they will go to? Is he a good choice for spokesperson? Comment below!
Anti Social Media will represent Denmark during Semi-Final 1 on May 19 in Vienna with the song ‘The Way You Are’.
Interesting choice but I really like Sophie!
I hope he doesn’t sing any of Cliche Love Song whilst he’s announcing
Nit sure about the points from Denmark this year
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-(2 hours later)-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Really great success 4 him that he finished in the top10 as 9th last year in Copenhagen’s Vision..
Although i prefered *Wanna Be Loved* to win in Dansk Grand Prix & represent Denmark instead…It would had done even better than Basim’s *Cliche Love Song*..
In the semi final
12 points to estonia
10 points to belgium
8 points to albania
Finland around 5 to 7 points
In the final
12 points to sweden
10 points to estonia
8 points to norway
I don’t like this guy… I hated his song and his voice.
My prediction 12 points from Denmark in semifinal will go to Estonia , 10 points to Finland and 8 points to Belgium…
In final 12 points to Sweden, 10 points to Iceland, 8 points to Norway…
Thanks for noting that @Robyn – my bad!
Oh no, not this irritating idiot. Literally anybody else would be better.
Oh and I predict that Denmark will give 12 points to Finland or Estonia in the semi and 12 points to Sweden in the final
http://wiwibloggs.com/2015/04/03/valentina-monetta-interview-fourth/88996/ it’s strange you said she denied the rumours yet she confirmed them in April lmao
I almost forgot that Denmark was participating in Eurovision this year – they’ve been so quiet. They obviously dont want to win.
i really hoped for emmelie de forest
Woooh! I really like the spokepersons this year.
No!!!! 🙁
Denmark will give 12pts to either Sweden or Norway.
Also, Denmark will not qualify to the final for the first time since 2007.
Yay!
