Road to Basel: Denmark Road to Basel: Denmark! As the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel approaches, we continue our daily spotlight on this year’s contestants. Today, we focus on Denmark. photo: Lola Paex Sissal Sissal JĂłhanna NorĂ°berg Niclasen, known mononymously as Sissal, is a 30-year-old Faroese singer born in TĂłrshavn, Faroe Islands. She began her musical journey at a young age, winning the Faroese children’s singing competition NĂłsa Barnaprix in 2005. Sissal has since developed a distinctive pop style, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian artists like Robyn and Dagny. In 2020, she moved to Copenhagen to further her music career and has released several singles leading up to her Eurovision entry. ​ “Hallucination” Denmark’s Eurovision entry, “Hallucination,” is a dance-pop track co-written by Sissal alongside Chris Rohde-Frisk, Lina Spangsberg, Linnea Deb, Malthe Johansen, Marcus Winther-John, and Melanie Gabriella Hayrapetian. The song explores the surreal feeling of an intense connection with someone, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Released on 6 February 2025, “Hallucination” has been praised for its catchy melody and emotive lyrics. ​ Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2025 Denmark’s national selection for Eurovision 2025 was conducted through Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2025. The competition featured eight entries competing in a televised final held on 1 March 2025 at the Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning. After two rounds of voting, combining jury and public votes, Sissal’s “Hallucination” emerged victorious in the superfinal, securing her spot to represent Denmark in Basel. Sissal, “Hallucination“ Tim Schou, “Proud“ Adel the Second, “The Unluckiest Boy Alive“ Mariya, “I Belong to Me“ Max Ulver, “Supernova“ HervĂ© Toure, “Allez Allez“ Maria Mathea, “Air“ Andreas Kruse, “Hear my Prayer“ Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest Denmark has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 52 times since its debut in 1957. The country has won the contest three times: in 1963 with “Dansevise” by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann, in 2000 with “Fly on the Wings of Love” by the Olsen Brothers, and in 2013 with “Only Teardrops” by Emmelie de Forest. The last few years Denmark didn’t manage to reach the final, so the Danes seriously hope for a change with Sissal.​ A Random Danish Entry Reflecting on Denmark’s Eurovision history, random.org chose the 2012 entry. Soluna Samay represented the country with “Should’ve Known Better”. Soluna, who lives in Denmark, has the Swiss nationality. However, she was born in Guatemala. How international can you be? Betting Odds As of now, Sissal’s “Hallucination” is 27th in the odds in order to win the Eurovision Song Contest. In the odds for the 2nd semifinal, Sissal is 12th. One can say that it is gonna be a hard time for Denmark. However, it seems to be a fan favourite. We eagerly await the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel and look forward to witnessing Sissal’s performance on the grand stage. Share
