SO HAPPY WITH THIS! I voted for it three times :) A great entry... if Iceland don't go top five with this I give up on Eurovision. A potential winner in my opinion.

Yeah...this has zero chance of top 5.

I think this song in many ways is comparable to the Dutch song. It has that catchy hook but it's totally wrung to the very last drop, and it drives me crazy by the end.
But I still enjoy it for what it is - a very sterile piece of pop music.

I could whine forever about "Feathers". To me it was on a completely different level than the other six songs. People seem particularily upset with the choices being made this year, but I've always had a problem with most results in these national finals. I'm tired of random and boring songs winning over the extraordinary, interesting stuff that makes Eurovision worth watching. It's indeed sad that people generally prefer beige to hot pink or lime green :lol:

It's quite a good ballad but it need so me more punch in it, it has no real special things in it.

Will it qualify? Probably
Will it end high? No, I presume the bottom 10

6 points for now

Her voice is a bit annoying, isn't it? Meh Iceland, Sunday was much better.

Though Elín Sif remained my favorite throughout the Icelandic selection, I'm very pleased with the winner as well.. I think the English version of Friðrik's song was very good as well and a very worthy runner up :D

I have heard the song 3-4 times now and I still can't remember it. For some reason when I try to remember it my head starts playing Avril Lavinge?

This resembles Only Teardrops too much for me. Bare feet, somewhat similar message, tribal-sounding backing music... will do well nonetheless, and possibly a winner.

Not a horrible song. I actually prefer this shot over Pollapönk.
However, according to me, she sings with her nose and unfortunately, the English version makes the things worse.
I am quite disappointed. Iceland has such a beautiful period between 2009 and 2013.
