Okay, so this is my top 8 of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2022:

1. Morten Fillipsen - Happy Go Lucky

There's not so much I can say about this entry. He's got an enjoyable voice and the song is good as well.

2. Patrick Dorgan - Vinden suser ind

This entry doesn't reinvent the wheel and is even leaning towards boring. However, I like Patrick's voice, and his entry may not be outstanding, but it isn't that bad as a single song.

3. Reddi - The Show

I was expecting this to be an uptempo song, so the ballad-ish beginning caught me a bit off guard. Afterwards, the song quickly changes and becomes somewhat good. If only her voice wasn't as annoying ...

4. Juncker - Kommet for at blive

It's a standout entry both in terms of instrumental and vocals. Apart from that it's not that special, imo.

5. Josie Elinor & Jack Warren - Let Me Go

A summerly song with interesting lyrics that happens to be a bit too long for my preferences. Vocally, they're both okay (although she's leaning towards annoying), but tbh. I'm not sure whether they fit together or would sound better alone.

6. Fuld Effekt - "Rave med de hårde drenge

It's a very not Eurovision song. I also have my doubts whether it stands any chances here.

It does sound funny. That counts especially for the first part and all its repetitions. On the downside however this song is too fast imo. Though, I also believe it's another one of those songs that we need to see live. And that's something I'm already interested in, lol.

7. Conf3ssions - "Hallelujah"

It's a very catchy chorus but much weaker verses. And I would like to point out that I absolutely don't like their voices.

8. Der Var Engang - "En skønne dag"

I like that it's got something folk-ish (I think?), but apart from that, it's quite boring.

Overall a quite okay NS with surprisingly many songs in Danish. Most of the songs are listenable, but there's nothing outstanding. In the poll I voted for my top 3.

It's an okay song, imo and I give Denmark a for now.

The ballad-ish part at the beginning is still boring to me and too long. Afterwards, it becomes an okay pop rock song that I could imagine on the radio here. It appears to be a fun song with a serious message ("you can't stop me"). However, the "I will never let bit go. I won't keep up with the show." is repeated too many times for me.

Overall, it is an okay entry from a country that normally has sent horrid stuff since 2014. It should actually stand a chance in the semi-final and mark Denmark's return to the final.

Very middle of the road. I'm just whelmed.

Feels very indie. It has that ballad-y start, then it progresses to an alt-rock vibe. The progression falls flat and the live performance is surprisingly generic (I at least like the styling), but overall, it's a decently produced and performed song.

I'm putting this in qualification limbo, but of course, that depends on the rest of the songs it's against in the semis. It's gonna struggle to be compelling enough to be voted on in my opinion, but its semblance of edginess could help it pull through.

I think this has potential. The singer just needs to have more confidence
