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

Unbroken was the original, they translated to english, while Fjaðrir or Feathers Was translated into english.

The video will be premiered at the end of next week. It was all taken inside so there will be no nature-shots:) All social media was prohibited on-site while the video was filmed to prevent any part of it leaking online.

One of the member of StopWaitGo said that there is one hint regarding the video and that is ""Get out of the darkness and into the light forever";)

It's only Maria with two dansers, no backing vocals and therefore no Friðrik Dór.

They are really satisfied with the outcome, so hopefully we will be that as well:D

^^ I've read somewhere that the video has been filmed in a factory.

Music video in a factory? Hmmm, sounds interesting. I hope that it'll be something good ;)

BTW This cameraman is hot.

So will it all be at the same place, just her and two dancers the whole time?

It seems like it. This is according to news from RUV website. It's taken inside a factory. I heard it somewhere that the filming took place both in Akranes and Reykjavik. As I see it they will using both shadows and illuminations, based on the hint they gave about "Get out of the darkness and into the light forever." It will be interesting to see. Doesn't look like the shooting of the video was complicated, but that doesn't have to be negative at all.

It doesn't have to be, but I'm so sad to not see them try more...The song was made in 5 minutes, it doesn't seem like hard work was made with this video... I just think they should have lost this year and try harder next year...

BREAKING NEWS:

The dancers will not be in Vienna in May, in a meeting, Stopwaitgo told the dancers that they were being cut out of the entry after being informed month before this that they would be there, people are raging because Stopwaitgo has been saying that all of the people working on this are "one big family", then after this happens they say that it's not personal, strictly business.

I just hope she loses the child's fairy dress for Vienna and goes for a more sophisticated look.

meh... :/
Since a lot of people praised this, I was really excited. and now... a little disappointed. It reminds me a bit of Taylor Swift and... somehow it sounds like a song played at the end of a mediocre movie, over the credits.
It's not awful and will probably fare well in Vienna, but this is now destroying Iceland's run in my ranking. Three years in a row, Iceland was top 10, now... only lower middle... 'meh', like I said.
So 4 points from me.

Still maintain this is better in Icelandic, I do however expect it to go top 10 - maybe even do a 'Is It True?' and trouble the top 2 or 3.
