    The results

    The outcome of the final was determined in two rounds of voting. In the first round of voting during the show the songs were reduced from eight to three adding in the votes from the voting during the week.. The three songs, that went on to the second round of voting were selected entirely by public voting. 

    Group FullEffect , Conf3ssions and Josie Elinor & Jack Warren had received the most votes during the week leading up to Saturday's show. But when the text messages from the TV viewers who had voted during tonight's show were added, Reddi suddenly got involved in the race for the three final places. When tonight's app votes were finally added, it was clear that tonight's three superfinalists were:

    • Conf3ssions – Hallelujah  (32%)

    • REDDI – The Show (37%)

    • Josie, Elinor & Jack Warren – Let Me Go (31%)

    During the superfinal round voting it was REDDI who eventually topped the score and will be flying to Turin to defend the Danish colors singing 'The Show'.
