To be honest this is not my favourite song by Sigur Rós (some of them really drive me crazy) but for sure a good entry! xup

Some random people from :is: after the Results Show today:

The euphoria came back to Iceland. The disappointment of the last WV is forgotten and Iceland is confident again and hope for a bright future in WV :D
Because after all, WV is what the people excites here (and not a bunch of 11 men who are chasing a ball) xqueenbitch

Do another 4 song NF again and put something ultra me in it, so that I can ruin Iceland's reputation in the contest once more by throwing all my allowed votes at it, making you failxheat

Re: ICELAND || WV 52: Sigur Rós - Hoppipolla

Hey Everybody xwave

Lagið okkar fyrir WV 53 (Our song for WV 53) is up! xcheer
Iceland's Worldvision Comission already decided the band that will represent our little country in WV 53.
It will be the Indie/Dream-pop band Low Roar. The lead singer is Ryan Karazija. Originally he is from California, where he was in a band called "Audrye Sessions". In 2010, Ryan left his home to fulfil everybody's dream, which is living in Iceland. There he founded Low Roar. The other members: Logi Guðmundsson (drummer), Leifur Björnsson (keyboardist), Andrew Scheps (producer).

I think musicwise Ryan absolutely fits to Iceland. The songs contain the same kind of magic that lots of Icelandic songs (especially Sigur Ros, Ásgeir and so on) contain. After I was experimenting a bit with different genres in WV 50 & 51 I decided to send songs that are more "whiteshoes" again :D

About the songs... one of it was in my NF for WV 46, maybe some people will remember. Another song has gone viral in Freedom Room (hope it isn't overplayed), the other two songs might be unfamous, but they are beautiful and lovely.

This time the Organizers renounced banners and stuff like this because they don't wanna intimidate the other countries with their great photoshop skills (I ain't got time to make banners :mrgreen: )

1. I'm Leaving


2. Patience


3. Friends Make Garbage


4. Give up


How does the voting work?

So here we go: You got a full amount of 12 points that you can distribute to the four songs in (almost) every possible configuration. This system is less rigid and much more precise than the regular point systems. Only restriction: You gotta give every song at least one point.
Click to expand...

I copied these sentences from my last NF, I just changed the points. You got 12 points instead of 10. You don't have enough options with only 10 points.
Don't forget the last sentence! Every song at least one point. Don't wanna receive a 12-0-0-0 voting :D

Thank you! xrose xheya

I'm happy and overwhelmed by these many high points. As expected I also got many 0's but that's an obvious consequence of not sending a pop song. :)
My calculations and my analysises before the final shew me that I might end around 10th place but during the show I really hoped I can get a Top 5 place and it looked pretty good for most parts of the show. At the end however I finished 6th and it felt a bit like a failure.
There are more reasons to be happy about the result than to be disappointed. 6th out of 60 participants is an amazing result and my 2nd best result ever. I just wonder how I will ever reach a Top 5 result after I didn't made it with Hoppipolla, which is for sure one of the biggest entries one can send for Iceland. Then I remember WV 45 and Kaleo.. I didn't even believe in a Top 10 Place in that time.
WV might be partly predictable but some happenings you can't simply predict and that's what makes it so interesting. I can fail with a "big hope" but I can make a big surprise with a song that I don't expect to do good at all. What way is Low Roar going to chose? I hope the best possible :)

Re: ICELAND || WV 53 "Low Roar" National Final - Deadline: 22nd September 23:59

Ranking after 9 votings:
1. 32 points
2. 29 points
3. 25 points
4. 22 points

Still everything possible. So far there is only one person that gave the maximum of 9 points to one song (funnily it's the same person who did already in my last NF) but most votings are balanced... I deduce from it that I made good choices and every song is received well xup

When you read this post and didn't vote yet --> http://www.escunited.com/threads/88...tember-23-59?p=1504132&viewfull=1#post1504132 WHAT R U EVEN WAITING FOR? VOTE!

When you read this post but voted already --> Call your friends that Iceland has a hot NF and that I need to know the opinion of everybody xheya
