I don't know what is happening at RUV, we get information from other sources then themselves:? They didn't announce about the jury, but VISIR announces it for them. They didn't announce the running order, but ESC Bubbles did it for them. Their last announcement was 2 days ago.....

I wonder if there is labour shortage this year :?

Are you 100% certain, aren't these just rumours?

It has appeared on a trustworthy news site called Vísir, and I think it's trustworthy as well becasue Fáses (OGAE Iceland) has shared the story, and I wouldn't think they would post something like this without double checking.

EDIT: Just saw that you checked on Vísir.

Might be, it's like something is wrong with the website or these things are being leaked on other sites before RUV even announces this.

This is so sad... sorry to be that person, but it seems that since Albania and Macedonia both plan to switch to English, we only have 1/10 guaranteed non-English song (France) so far and I guess Iceland probably won't help :(

Spain's song is fully Spanish as far as i'm aware, and I'm pretty sure Italy will sing in Italian. Even with those, 3 is still pathetic.

Well, if you look at how rarely the announce anything, on their website or on Facebook, it's no wonder someone else does it for them:)

They were supposed to announce the names of the juries last Sunday, but they still haven't announced it, and it's Thursday:confused: It's like they are having difficulty handling this now, or at least when it comes to the PR-part of it;)

I think it will be just as good in english, if not better, since they translated the english lyrics to icelandic not the other way around. So I think the lyrics are going to be better.

Can't wait to listen to English version of 'Í kvöld'. Well, I had kept the lyrics in Icelandic, but I'm sure I'll like as well because I love the song so much.

Well, there it is...


It doesn't change a lot, I still prefer the Icelandic version though.

Love the english lyrics! It's much better like this, and the Icelandic version wasn't bad at all, and can't wait for the final, hope this will win.

María Ólafsdóttir “Lítil skref” was my fave, but Nf performance is a let down for me.. :( her outfit and ballet dancing are so tacky, I dislike it, also not so good live singing, studio version is much better! :(
