Big Poll or not; international bookmakers are not convinced that Danish Malene might actually win. They predict she will finish at 10th place…if she is lucky. Her rehearsals were good, so that can't be the problem.
Denmark is not among the bookmakers' top favourites in this year's ESC. Despite the Olsen Brothers' victory in 2000 and Rollo & King's second place in 2001, international bookmakers predict Malene Winther Mortensen to finish at 9th or 10th place.
However, the members of the Danish delegation have their hopes set up for a much better position.
“Iceland and Norway aren't in the competition this year, and we usually receive some points from them. That's why we now work hard to score points from other countries”, says Morten Carlsson, Head of the Danish Delegation.
If Malene finishes within the Top Fourteen, she will have qualified Denmark for next year's contest.
Here are new pictures from Malene her rehearsal, this morning.
