Well she's not a native Norwegian either... But I'm really not the person to ask about Norwegian pronunciation!
Maja SG (X) Jul 23, 2010:
I think you are right, but I heard it as the Swedish "Köpenhamn", only pronounced with 2 syllables. Is it the same in Norwegian? I thought that the peculiar pronunciation was because she wasn't a native Dane ... ;)
Christopher Schröder Jul 23, 2010:
She's actually speaking Norwegian And on that basis the last word *is* Copenhagen

Tak skal du have ...

She definitely says "Tak skal du have, ....", but I can't catch the last part of it ... I don't know if you know any Danish, but it means "Thank you, ...".

To me it doesn't sound like "København" (starts with an audible "k" and has three syllables), but more like something with a "tj", "s" or "sj" sound and two syllables ... I hope someone else can hear the last part...
Note from asker:
Maybe is it "Tak skal du have København"? No I do not speak Danish. I am sorry.
Peer comment(s):

agree Susanne Friesen : Yes, I believe I hear a Norwegian pronunciation of Copenhagen, too. And it certainly fits perfectly with the typical phrases of the European Song Contest.
