Judges and hosts

[edit]

After the sixth live show of the sixth season on March 15, 2013, Ida Corr was asked if she would return as a judge for another season and said that she did not know.[1] On 17 June, it was reported that former judge Remee, who appeared in the first three seasons, was in talks with DR1 to return as a judge for season 7.[2] On August 16, it was announced that Eva Harlou would replace Signe Molde as host for the seventh season.[3] On 17 September, judge Anne Linnet revealed that Lina Rafn, who appeared in the first two seasons, and Remee would be re-joining Thomas Blachman for season 7.[4] The following day, the judging panel was officially confirmed as Blachman, Rafn and Remee.[5]
