It might be a special Danish thing, but just like Kirsten Siggaard participated at the Eurovision Song Contest shortly before giving birth, Annette Heick will be touring with her Christmas show up until three weeks before her second child is set to arrive.

As many will be aware of from the title then this is a greatest hits compilation that shows Birthe Kjær’s 40 years as a singer. The CD includes up-tempo songs, beautiful ballads, cover versions and as a bonus 4 brand new songs.

Olsen Brothers latest album features Cliff Richard on two of the songs; one written by Cliff and the other one by the brothers shortly after they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000. It is called Respect, but do Jørgen and his younger brother Niels “Noller” Olsen deserve that this time?

Having been beaten by Kirsten and Søren's gimicks two years in row Lise Haavik was happy when she won the ticket to represent Denmark at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest. Lise is still active as singer who sings pop as well as jazz - and then she has found a call teaching in singing.

Danish Eurovision Song Contest winners from 2000, the Olsen Brothers, released a new album a few weeks ago. The album, where they sing together with Cliff Richard on two tracks, is called 'Respect' and that is what the brothers deserve after once again climbing the charts.

The deadline to enter a song to the 2009 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix ended yesterday with 684 songs submitted. Four out of ten songs will be specially invited and rumours are indicating comebacks to Anne Herdoff and DQ.

Keld Heick, who has written several Danish Eurovision Song Contest entries, is openly attacking DR for having blacklisted Schlager music. The attack falls together with the Danish Schlager music, the socalled Dansktop, celebrating its 40 years anniversary.
