DMGP 2000 and Eurovision Song Contest 2000

[edit]

They won the annualDansk Melodi Grand Prix song competition in 2000 in Copenhagen, and went on to represent Denmark in theEurovision Song Contest 2000 inStockholm.[1] where they won with the song "Fly on the Wings of Love" (translated from theDanish "Smuk som et Stjerneskud" (literally translated as "Beautiful as a Shooting Star"). At one stage, they sold 100,000 copies in one day in Denmark; they became the second Danish act to win the competition. On the day of their victory, Jørgen Olsen was 50 years and 61 days of age, making him the oldest artist to win the contest. However, he only held the record for one year, asDave Benton triumphed in 2001 at the age of 50 years and 101 days. The combined ages of The Olsen Brothers make them the oldest aged act ever to win the contest.[2]

They opened theEurovision Song Contest 2001 in Copenhagen with a short reprise of their winning song from the previous year, followed by a full performance of their new release, "Walk Right Back".

Later years

[edit]

In 2005 for the first time since their victory, they re-entered the Danish Melodi Grand Prix, the national pre-selection for the Eurovision contest, with the song "Little Yellow Radio". It was widely reported[who?][citation needed] that they hoped to repeat their triumph; however, this time they had to settle for second place, finishing behindJakob Sveistrup.

Their song "Fly on the Wings of Love" was nominated as one of the 14 finalists forCongratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Copenhagen, Denmark on 22 October 2005. They performed the song at the event, finishing 6th overall from 14 songs. The winner was "Waterloo" byABBA.

In 2019, the brothers called a hiatus to their musical career after Niels was diagnosed withbrain cancer.[3] However, Niels was declared cancer-free by the end of 2020, in a development that was described as "against the odds". He has not ruled out returning to music in the future.[4]

Jørgen performed "Fly on the Wings of Love" at theEurovision Song Contest 2025 inBasel as an interval act to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the triumph in Stockholm.[5]
