Drama Queen (DQ song)


"Drama Queen" was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, performed in English by DQ. This was the joint first appearance of a solo drag act in Contest history, along with Verka Serduchka of Ukraine.
In this song DQ describes herself as the "drama queen" and urges her listeners to join her for a party.
As Denmark had not finished the previous Contest in the top ten, this song had to be performed in the semi-final. It was performed 12th, following Albania's Frederik Ndoci with "Hear My Plea" and preceding Croatia's Dragonfly & Dado Topić with "Vjerujem u ljubav". At the close of voting, it received 45 points, placing it 19th in a field of 28 and thus ensuring that Denmark would have to qualify from the semi-final at the next Contest.
Unusually, the song had also failed to qualify for the Danish national semi-final, but reached the final after securing a so-called "wildcard", before eventually winning the competition.
