Charlotte Jensen, an expert on the Danish preselection comments:
One of the big favourites, Aud Wilken, who came 5th in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995 with the song Fra Mols Til Skagen has been moved to the second semi-final, which already seemed to be the strongest. Instead Jacob Andersen has been moved to start position number three, which also was the position Aud Wilken had in the first place. This change is mentioned to be due to the fact that Jacob Andersen had other plans on the 2nd of February.

All the favourites like Me & My, Jørgen Olsen who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 with Fly One The Wings Of Love, DQ, Stig Rossen, James Sampson and now also Aud Wilken are all placed in the second semi-final leaving no doubt that qualifying from the first semi-final will be a lot easier.
