Birthe Kjær, born 1 September 1948, is a Danish singer who began her career in the late 1960s. Kjær represented Denmark in the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest with the cabaret-style "Vi maler byen rød" (We paint the town red). A vivacious performance in Lausanne earned the song a third place that year. Kjær had made previous bids to represent Denmark in 1980, 1986 and 1987. She hosted the Danish national contest in 1990 and made a further bid for Eurovision glory in 1991 with "Din musik, min musik."
