First Thoughts: The first time I heard this song, I hated it. I'd just finished watching a grueling semi of Mello, and I was crashing from a sugar high, and I just couldn't stand this song. I gave it a second chance yesterday and I fell in love with it. Denmark really lives up to its reputation as the world's happiest country, and I have a funny feeling that once my MorMor hears this, she's going to throw her dollar into the betting pot for Team Danmark, just like she did last year for Cliche Love Song.
Best Lyric: All of it, really. But a particularly awesome line is: Like an old radio, a song I just can't let go, all I got on my mind is you.
Worst Lyric: I can't find any. And trust me, I tried. *Wink.*
Finalist? Absolutely.
Final Thoughts: It's the way you are, it's just the way that you aaaare~
Score out of 12: Douze points! I love it! Flowers! Confetti! Cats! Kaija out!
The Life and Adventures of Princess Kaija. Buying stuff. Playing in boxes. Watching Eurovision. Taking fika. Playing in the castle courtyard and cuddling my cat. Loving life.

Kaija's Favorite Genre of Music
I'm sure my loyal subjects are all anxiously awaiting to hear what Princess Kaija's favorite genre of music is.
Surely a princess as poised and graceful as Kaija spends her days listening to classical music, oui? Non!
Well, then perhaps Her Majesty enjoys alternative music. Princess Kaija is as unique as a rainflower; it would only be logical. Nope, not alternative either.
Okay, I'll give you a hint: At our last kingdom-wide dinner party, the Their Majesties the Queen and Princess Kaija served a dessert named after this obscure genre of music. What! You missed our dinner party? Well, I can't give you the recipe, because it's a Super-Duper Classified Royal Secret, but I can tell you the name: scandipop.
Yup, that's right. My mum, AKA the Queen, thought my favorite music genre sounded like a dessert (which it totally does), so we consulted with the royal chefs to create our Awesomely Amazingly Yummy Scandipop Dessert!
You can listen to some scandipop here (do it for the princess) and eat some Scandipop at the next kingdom-wide feast, which will take place in the Royal Courtyard on the first day of the Month of Crimson Flowers! Both myself and the Queen look forward to seeing you there!
