Who is Birthe Kjær?

Birthe Kjær is a Danish singer who began her career in the late 1960s. Kjær had made previous bids to represent Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980, 1986 and 1987, before being chosen in 1989 with the cabaret-style song "Vi maler byen rød". Her performance in Lausanne earned the song a third place that year.

She hosted the Danish national contest in 1990. She was unsuccessful in her bid to represent Denmark again in 1991 with "Din musik, min musik".

In June 2004, her single with Safri Duo "Hvor' vi fra?" achieved a gold record with 4,900 copies sold.

In Autumn 2005, she took part in the second season of the Danish Dancing with the Stars, but she withdrew following a heart attack.

Kjær hosted the Danish final to pick the 2009 Danish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest Final on 31 January 2009.
