Before Eurovision
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1995
Danmarks Radio (DR) held the national final on 25 March 1995 at its television studios in Copenhagen, hosted by Sidsel Agensø and Gry la Cour. Eleven songs competed in the contest and the winner was selected by the votes of a five-member jury over two rounds. In the first round, the top five songs were selected to advance to the second round of voting, which led to the victory of Aud Wilken with the song "Fra Mols til Skagen" by a 2-point margin. Voting was extremely tight, with only 7 points separating the top five songs.[1] The show was watched by 1.1 million viewers in Denmark, making it the most popular show of the evening and second most popular show of the week.[2]
The five-member jury consisted of Søs Fenger, Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, Dorte Hygum Sørensen, Sebastian, and Monica Krog-Meyer.
