Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Shame on You". written by Ivar Lind Greiner and Iben Plesner, and performed by Tomas Thordarson. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2004 in order to select its entry for the contest. The broadcaster returned to the contest after a one-year absence following their relegation from 2003 as one of the bottom five entrants in 2002. Ten songs competed in a televised show where "Sig det' løgn" performed by Tomas Thordarson was the winner as decided upon through two rounds of public voting. The song was later translated from Danish to English for Eurovision and was titled "Shame on You".

Denmark competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 19, "Shame on You" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Denmark placed thirteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 56 points.

Background

Main article: Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2004 contest, Danmarks Radio (DR) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Denmark thirty-two times since its first entry in 1957.[1] It had won the contest, to this point, on two occasions: in 1963 with the song "Dansevise" performed by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann, and in 2000 with the song "Fly on the Wings of Love" performed by Olsen Brothers. In 2002, it finished in twenty-fourth (last) place with the song "Tell Me Who You Are" performed by Malene Mortensen.

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, DR organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The broadcaster confirmed its intentions to participate at the 2004 contest on 27 August 2003.[2] DR has selected all of its Eurovision entries through the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. Along with its participation confirmation, the broadcaster announced that Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2004 would be organised in order to select its entry for the 2004 contest.[2]

Before Eurovision

Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2004

Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2004 was the 34th edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, the music competition organised by DR to select its entries for the Eurovision Song Contest. The event was held on 7 February 2004 at the Atletion in Aarhus, hosted by Natasja Crone and Peter Mygind and televised on DR1.[3] The national final was watched by 1.779 million viewers in Denmark.[4]

Competing entries

DR opened a submission period between 1 October 2003 and 3 November 2003 for composers to submit their entries. All composers and lyricists were required to be Danish citizens or have Danish residency, while all songs were required to be performed in Danish.[5] The broadcaster received 315 entries during the submission period.[6] A seven-member selection committee selected ten songs from the entries submitted to the broadcaster, while the artists of the selected entries were chosen by DR in consultation with their composers.[7] The competing songs were announced on 22 December 2003 with their artists being announced on 8 January 2004.[8][9] Among the artists was Helge Engelbrecht (member of Neighbours) who represented Denmark in 1987 as part of Bandjo.[10]

At Eurovision

It was announced that the competition's format would be expanded to include a semi-final in 2004. According to the rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country, the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom), and the ten highest placed finishers in the 2003 contest are required to qualify from the semi-final on 12 May 2004 in order to compete for the final on 15 May 2004; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final. On 23 March 2004, an allocation draw was held which determined the running order for the semi-final and Denmark was set to perform in position 19, following the entry from Croatia and before the entry from Serbia and Montenegro.[14] Tomas Thordarson performed the English version of "Sig det' løgn" at the contest, titled "Shame on You".[15] At the end of the semi-final, Denmark was not announced among the top 10 entries and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Denmark placed thirteenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 56 points.[16]

The semi-final and final were broadcast on DR1 with commentary by Jørgen de Mylius. DR appointed Camilla Ottesen as its spokesperson to announce the Danish votes during the final.
