Performing during the show in position 4, "In a Moment like This" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 29 May.
In the final, Denmark was the closing performance of the show in position 25, placing fourth out of the 25 participating countries with 149 points.
[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 2010 would be organised in order to select Denmark's entry for the 2010 contest.
The event was held on 6 February 2010 at the Gigantium in Aalborg, hosted by Felix Smith and Julie Berthelsen with assistance by Jørgen de Mylius and Keld Heick.
[13][14][15] Less than 24 hours to the presentation, "All About Me" written and performed by Zindy Laursen, who was invited by DR for the competition, was withdrawn and replaced with the song "Panik!"
In the final round, the winner, "In a Moment like This" performed by Chanée and N'evergreen, was selected solely by a public vote.
[17] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.
On 7 February 2010, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.
The performance began with Chanée and N'evergreen standing behind each other on the sides of a see-through frosted screen which produced silhouettes whilst the other is singing their part.
The stage colours were predominantly dark and the lighting transitioned from violet to between red, white, blue and yellow.
[22] At the end of the show, Denmark was announced as having finished in the top ten and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.
This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
