You may be right, but..

You may be right Charlotte but i don't think your idea would stand in a same way if you listened the all 12 songs. I better choose only 10 songs from Dansk M.G.P. and none from the Polish selection. They are a bit..hmm.. weak :(

I think Polish people won't

I think Polish people won't have many options to choose this year. Only 12 songs may not be good enough for a national final. But i consider about Tigrita Project's presentation at Moscow.

So 12 songs is too little for a good national final?

I don't quite follow your logic here, Serkie... you are doubting that "only"12 songs in a national final can give some good songs. Well Turkey this year had only one song. The Netherlands will just have six songs and the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 10. And what about Estonia, Ireland etc. It is quite standard with 10 songs in a national final and saying that it is too little to give the viewers some good songs to chose among makes not sense to me. I have already heard many saying that most of the 10 Danish songs are of a high quality - despite it only being 10 songs.
