Christina Chanée and Thomas N’evergreen won the finals of the Danish Melodi Grand Prix 2010 before Bryan Rice with “Breathing”, which had continued from the semi-finals, where also Simone with “How Will I Know” and Silas & Kat “Come Come Run Away” fought.
“In A Moment Like This” was written by the Swedish threesome Erik Bernholm, Henrik Sethsson and Thomas G:son and is now Swedish, who along with Christina Chanée and Thomas n’evergreen must do everything they can to repeat the international success of the Olsen Brothers with “Fly on the Wings of Love” exactly ten years later .
Out of 562 bids for a Eurovision hit just seven songs made it through the eye of the needle of the jury. In addition, three specially selected artists from the established music scene were admitted with a “wildcard”. And on Saturday night at 22:20h the Danish people and an expert jury had jointly decided that Chanée & n’evergreen is the ultimate bid for a winner in Norway.

She is also known from the band ‘Nubian Fräuleins‘ in ‘Endelig Fredag’ on DR1. Christina is a singer, widely used in many contexts, and this year she can also be seen and heard as a soloist in the Jan Glæsel Orchestra. She has just released single ‘Breathing’ from her debut album, which comes during the summer of 2010. Christina Chanée was chosen to sing the duet ‘In A Moment Like This’ with Tomas N’evergreen among over 50 other singers.
I found her on the internet site MySpace, where a very beautiful song was available – it [Christina's voice, ed.] suited the composition we were to sing well,
Thomas N’evergreen says. He was in Moscow at that time. “We agreed to talk on Skype that same evening”, says Christina. They both recognize, that it was somewhat like a blind date.
