Danish radio listeners have spoken.Kenny Duerlund, Ben & Tan and Sander Sanchez have made the final of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in Copenhagen.
Nine competing songs were revealed by DR on Monday. These first finalists were picked by the Danish public via DR’s P4 radio network.
The results match a poll of our readers. Kenny Duerlund with “Forget It All” (South), Ben and Tan’s “Yes” (East) and Sander Sanchez with “Screens” (North) all topped their respective regional polls.

samsara should get one of those wildcards
Sanderrrrrrrrrrrr come throughh!
These Swedish songwriters did that 😉
Hope MieLou gets the Wildcard though!
“Yes” is amazing!
none of these will win
Kenny Duerlund all the way – really likeable and modern tune!
Jamie Talbot and SamSara should get the wildcards. Other than that I agree with the already qualified ones.
personally i’m hoping mielou and jamie talbot are going to get the wildcards, but that’s just me
Very happy for Kenny and Ben&Tan, now hoping for SamSara and Emil for the wildcards. Would really be nice to have the Danish-language entry in the final now that they’ve finally managed to get a really nice one that doesn’t sound like it’s there just for the quota (love the wistful tone and the lyrics are probably the most personal and beautiful of the entries here – they’re about his deceased father).
Sander <3
“Yes” really fits whats Danes usually really like so yes it’s probably winning DMGP (unless something impressive is coming)
SamSara with For you should get a wildcard place , the other place I don’t really care much which songs get
Jamie or Samsara pls
SamSara – “For You” please jury save her
MieLou robbed, juries please save her <3
Totally agree!!!
I can see “Yes” winning DMGP and going to the TOP 5 on Eurovision.
And the bookies can also 😉
Don’t exaggerate.
no, one of the big artists (pre qualified) will win DMGP
