In the final, Denmark performed in position 16 and placed thirteenth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 74 points.

In the 2008 contest, "All Night Long" performed by Simon Mathew qualified Denmark to the final placing fifteenth.

[2] Denmark has selected all of their Eurovision entries through the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix.

Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster announced that Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2009 would be organised in order to select Denmark's entry for the 2009 contest.

17 legal downloads were made before the album was taken off and one of them was uploaded online via YouTube and published as an illegal sharing file on the internet.

My Way Music subsequently took legal action against the person who illegally published the sharing file.

[16][17][18] Brinck specifically promoted "Believe Again" as the Danish Eurovision entry on 18 April 2009 by taking part in promotional activities in the Netherlands where he performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Amsterdam Marcanti venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Marga Bult and Maggie MacNeal, and appeared during the RTL 4 programme Life and Cooking.

[19] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries.

The LED screens transitioned from floodlights and green shrubbery to the words "Believe Again" in white lights at the end and the performance was finished with a pyrotechnic effect.

[27] At the end of the show, Denmark was announced as having finished in the top ten and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.

Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
