Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox song contest national year Denmark was represented by rapper Kølig Kaj, with the song "Stemmen i mit liv", at the 1997 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 3 May in Dublin. "Stemmen i mit liv" was chosen as the Danish entry at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix on 1 March.
Before Eurovision
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1997
The final was held at the DR TV studios in Copenhagen on 1 March 1997 and hosted by Hans Otto Bisgård. Ten songs competed in the contest and the winner was selected solely by a public televote, which led to the victory of "Stemmen i mit liv" performed by Kølig Kaj. The song won by a relatively narrow margin over "Utopia" performed Jette Torp, and was regarded as something of a risky choice as rap had only been tried once before at Eurovision (by the United Kingdom's Love City Groove in 1995), without a great deal of success.[1] The show was watched by 1.1 million viewers in Denmark, making it the most popular show of the evening and third most popular show of the week.[2]
