Season 2 (2004)

Season two has the record for shortest Idol program in production with production lasting no more than 3 months.

Rikke Emma Niebuhr from Aarhus won with 65% of the total vote over Louise Baltzer Jensen from Frederiksværk.

Season two of Idols Denmark is often cited as the most unsuccessful of all Idol seasons with confirmed sources listing that not even 1,000 people had bothered to turn up to the auditions again in Aarhus & Copenhagen.

The winner was Rikke Emma Niebuhr over the runner-up Louise Baltzer Jensen. Rikke was denied her promised contract with BMG Denmark, though her debut single Get There sold moderately well.
