"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 the history of the contest, 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.
Since Denmark had not finished the previous contest in the top ten, this song had to compete in the semi-final. There, 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 forcing Denmark 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.
