The official MV

Myndbandið við

 

[GRE]

Emmelie De Forest is back ?

 

[lavieenrose]

No complaints.

Except one.

They made it not good.

 

[Lolinna]

I am very impressed with the changes they have done with the song, especially regarding the instruments

 

[Halldor]

I'm disappointed. It was annoying enough that it was "a step at a time", but now it's even worse with "one step at a time". And the video makes no sense, it's like it's the same video on repeat 3 times. And please don't wear that dress in Vienna. I still think we'll qualify, but that video is just making it harder for us to do so in my opinion.

The only resemblance with Emmelie De Forest is that she is barefood!!

And the clothing, only it looks good on Emmelie, not trying to be mean.

I think her dress is lovely, kind of retro, but I think it looks good on her, natural Different tastes I guess

It's still one of the few good melodies. It would have been nice if it had been kept in Icelandic but I suppose any song is likely to do better in English now the way things have gone. It's still powerful and uplifting. Much will depend, as always, on the staging.

Yeah, but the composers are the worst, the fact that they have the dancers in the video and after they've shot the video they're fired...

I'm sure that they didn't want to get cut out of the video even if they don't go further with the act. Of course people should not make promises that they can't keep, but I didn't particularly like the part of the dancers in the act. I thought they were a distraction.

 

[DaFlo]

that dress :?
but shes such a beauty
and the song tho

I get that, but even if they decided to get rid of them after shooting (which we don't know) it's still just not cool. I'm not saying that the dancers should be in the act, I'm saying that they should've thought of this before stating that everyone in the entry are one big family...

 

[ESCPOLAND]

Hera Bjork will be the backing vocalist ;P

 

[kamc]

Hera Bjork will be the backing vocalist ;P

I hope she'll wear her red dress

 

[Lolinna]

I hope she'll wear her red dress

I think it would be a bit oversized since she has lost a lot of weight.

 

[Iuris]

I love the video, and the changes are correct. She's soooo beautiful, btw.

 

[friheden]

For me "Litil skref" was perfect, catchy and wonderful ( is still rolling in my head ),but "Unbroken" has lost a lot of the magic that carries the icelandic language, even the chorus has turned arrhythmic trying to put "step out of time" where before was "litil skref".The song is a good choice but...Why you have to translate the icelandic songs into english to go to Eurovision ? It's not necessary, even "not-english-sung-songs" can win ESC ( "Diva", "Molitva" ).

Despite this,for sure, Iceland goes to the final this year."LITIL SKREF" RULES !!!! xrockout

 

[moop]

so what does my fave eurovision country of all times have to offer this year then ? below par but still an ok song. wont make it to the final, better luck next year

 

[GRE]

wont make it to the final,
