DENMARK – The national final Melodi Grand Prix will be followed by Denmark in 2021, according to a statement by DR broadcaster. He will not have a final spot on this year’s spokesman Ben & Tan as they had hoped but will start a new national selection.
Head of the show Jan Lagermand Lundme said:
It is only after the end of the coronavirus crisis that we begin to consider what will happen to the Melodi Grand Prix for next year. But we are choosing to watch the EBU show until the end of this year’s Melodi Grand Prix Melodi and will start again next year from scratch.I understand well that he is a little confused about Ben & Tan and the people behind “Yes”. I am pleased that the new Eurovision program from the EBU brings the song to life across Europe and we are bringing out the duo to viewers and friends across Europe. It’s – in the circumstances – a great way to equalize the musical score for this year’s Melodi Grand Prix.
The two artists said they understand the decision and that others should take their place without depriving them. They will continue to deal with their music for the time being and want to stay with the feeling of victory.
