hmmm.. I like this song more and more... not sure if it is good news :)

It's definitely a grower... so I don't know if it'll struggle in the semis, but probably not :lol:

I can see us scoring high this year, but as you said, it's a grower, and with the amount of people that watch in the final are listening to these songs for the first time, it might not do as well there, but I hope we'll do well.

I think Iceland can make it through the top 10 and maybe in the top 3. That's a big feel good song, she reminds me Emmelie (yes maybe the outfits) it all depends on the performance itself. If she just sings and look at the camera it won't be enough. Iceland has to find something to catch the eyes of the viewers.

haha, sorry no, in the final. That's an eurovision song who can easily works in the contest if we don't have a clear winner when we'll know all the songs. And don't underestimate the performance live who can change everything in 3min (remember Aram MP3 who did a not-so-good live)

I was just wondering how the video of this song will turn out. What do you think of the idea of Friðrik Dór being a part of it, since he will be part of the backing vocals ;)

What I mean is, what do you think of the idea of him being part of the video being done for the song, since this is a break-up song.;)

Ahhh, ok ok. Well, they can argue during the video. :lol: It sounds good, I think. From the other hand, it's like he were a guest star, though. :lol:

I see what you mean. Do you think he could steel attention from her? I just saw a really cute picture of them together and I just thought it would be a good idea.:) She is rather short, only 1,6 m and he is not tall :p

Not really. Friðrik isn't too famous outside Iceland, right? And for Eurovision followers, it will remain as an anecdote. :)

Nice pic, btw. xlove

Love that picture :D xlove
Maria is such a beauty
They look great together so I think it's a good idea to involve Friðrik in the video
I*m sure it will work very well

I think Friðrik might steal attention in the way that he can handle an interview and make it fun, María however always says the shortest reply possible everytime she's interviewed with cameras rolling.

It's too typical Disney ballad.

No it's really boring... idk if they had something better or not but I really think they can do much better *cough* 2012 *cough*

He definitely could, he just has to control himself like a real gentleman, let her shine;)

Judging from his reaction to qualifying in the semis I don't know if he'll pull that of. But I think he'll have to take bit of the spotlight to sell the song, seeing María's interviews in Söngvakeppnin, she needs interview lessons, but hopefully that will change.

Was Lítil Skref the original, because although I like the song I much prefer that version...
