"And in Denmark he is already famous for changing costumes up to 13 times during a one hour show."

No, DQ doesn't stand for disqualified, although it is tempting.

Peter Andersen is 34 years old, born in Køge and brought up in Borup in the middle of Zealand. He moved to Copenhagen as a grown-up. After 10th grade he went to the higher business school in Roskilde, military service for nine months in Sjælsmark, educated hairdresser since January 1998.

For the last 10 years he has been a rather significant part of Danish show business. Originally, Peter Andersen is educated hair dresser from Copenhagen - but after having worked as a hairdresser for almost a year he chose to make singing and performing to more than just a hobby."I have performed in various rockbands, and back in 1997 a girlfriend called me to ask if I wanted to perform in her trio, Naughty Voices: "It's four to five easy songs for four to five easy voices. But you have to wear a dress - because it is a drag show", she told me. "No way", I said."

He has performed in various rockbands - and in 1997-99 in his first drag show, Naughty Voices. Singer in another band, Tina Turner Jam (later called Turn On Tina) since 1997. Has performed with his own dragshow since 2002. Married to Lucas (since 2005) and has two Chihuahuas, Tyson and Chilie. Has so far put out one single, MissTerious (1998) and participated in two albums, Rock'n Dance and Danmarks Bedste Kopier ("Denmark's best copies") (from 2000).

"Winning Danish Song Contest really inspires me to write and perform with more songs like Drama Queen. After the victory I thought: "Now I have made something that people like. I bet I can do that again..." Right now it's party full-frontal and fast forward like never before for the winner of the Danish Song Contest 2007, DQ. And in Denmark he is already famous for changing costumes up to 13 times during a one hour show, this enabling him to copy well-known female singers like Tina Turner and Cher and Danish stars like Birthe Kjær and Sanne Salomonsen. "One song in particular is very famous among the audience, because it is considered to be a Danish classic, a winner of the Danish Song Contest and third place in the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest Vi Maler Byen Rød by Birthe Kjær. The sight of me coming onto the stage in red dress is sometimes enough. Today I cannot have enough feathers and spangles and colorful costumes. I want to go all the way...! The song about "Drama Queen" is not about me being a woman or a queen creating drama, but describes my role on the stage. As Drama Queen."

The Singer
 
Aah Peter. After struggling with a variety of dead end jobs, Peter woke up one morning, stumbled to the bathroom, put the haemorrhoid cream on the toothbrush, gagged, plucked his eyebrows, used his tiny ladyshave, put on his suit, had some muesli, prepared his cured meat sandwich, looked forlornly at the fruit in the bowl in the kitchen and thought "No, I'm not going to be mild mannered Peter the actuarial assistant anymore. I'm going to hitch up my tackle, invest in some falsies, and pop that fruit on my head".
And so it came to be that Peter bedazzled no-one over a long period of time, suffering nightly cruel taunts as he relentlessly belted out off-key show numbers in his diamonique frocks, waiting for the day when he would be accepted for who he was, who he was meant to be…a ridiculously foolish looking bloke wedged into a snakeskin belt.

The Past
  
Denmark started the new Millennium by showing just what they could give to Europe music wise, but at the same time refusing to get involved with a new coinage system. 
Two beardies somehow managed to bring home the Danish bacon in 2000, and a more deserved song from King Rollo came a close second the year after. And the co-host that year was a marvel too.
I'm convinced the last place in 2002 and the daylight robbery of 2004 were blips, and Denmark can continue her steadily impressive crap-pop heritage.

The Song
 
It's a camp fest of epic proportions of course, and a minute in you will be wondering just what the difference is "In between reality and fantasy". The earnest Scandis have been almost scientifically assessing the chances of DQ, but it doesn't look good. Eirikur gave it a slightly better chance than the Albanian chances which says it all. It's an instantly forgettable piece of trash. A feather boa dripped in cats urine if you will.

Overall

Seeing Peter put on his slap is a disconcerting process. Half-way through he looks not unlike the faxed picture of Keyser Soze in "The Usual Suspects". Frightening. His head wear will impinge his movement of course, as will the thigh spilitting dress which at any moment could expose his chances. Not good in anyone's money, and a definite no-hoper.

In a Nutshell
"I'm a lady, you know"

the philosopher says

materialism - Belief that only physical things truly exist. Materialists claim (or promise) to explain every apparent instance of a mental phenomenon as a feature of some physical object. Prominent materialists in Western thought include the classical atomists, Hobbes, and La Mettrie.

Peter can only truly appreciate his lippy, diamonique accessories, and tan stringbacks. Any other considerations are either trivial or even fatalistic.

Drama Queen

When the sun is setting at the end of the day
And the city fills with shades of grey
In between the streetlight and the moonlit snow
There's a place I go
Where I do my show

I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are on
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight

It's a space in time where every dream comes true
And tomorrow's sorrows just won't do
In between reality and fantasy
I will make you see
If you just believe

I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are on
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight

No more use pretending
No more reason to run and hide
Let's make all our dreams come true tonight

I'm you drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are far
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight
'Cause I'm your drama queen tonight

Is it a Pink Cockatoo who will learn the odd phrase with the incentive of a pellet, and a fluffing of its feathers
or is it DQ who is exactly the same, although it's something larger than a pellet he's after. Allegedly.
