ÍSLAND - Iceland 2010 - Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi

[Sim]

I think this song is a bit overrated, a qualifier yes!
And in the final maybe top15

The final version is the best. Good job Iceland once again!

 

[aletem]

Oh NO! Why Iceland, why!!?? :shock: This now looks like a bad remix, no emotions and her voice doesn't stand out. :?

 

[iowacorn]

ouch I really do not like this! It really did lose all emotion! Hopefully it is a mechanism so when Iceland brings the Original version to Oslo, it will be liked much better!

 

[Sorcery]

Final version is also VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!! GO ICELAND GOOOOO!!!!

 

[wittgenstein]

this is like charlotte perrelli deja vu and it will not work i guess.

They've taken the way the old-fashioned a bit. I love both versions. Live, I think it'll sound the best.

I think the first version is better but I like this one too. Still, 12 points for Iceland and it still remains my no2! What I don't like on the new version is the vocals on the chorus. "Je ne sais quoi I know you have that special something, je ne sais quoi oh-oh".

That "oh-oh" was higher in the first version and it was better. I hope she changes that in the ESC... And there are some other parts that in the first version her vocals were higher. In the new one is a bit flat. Just a bit....

 

[Etl]

I noticed that oh-oh, too. They should have left it as it was before.

 

[Kamillentee]

That's really disappointing.

I also liked the first version better.
Especially the vocals.
I can't see a reason why they changed it ...

 

[Matt]

The first version had live vocals, this is a studio version.

 

[Milos-BC]

I like the first version much more too.

We'll see how it will sound like live (i have no doubt that it will be good, but still...), but the first one was much better.

My thoughts exactly! Iceland is still among my favourites, but I'm not loving this new remix. :?

^ Hera posted the new version of the song in facebook. I made that comment about oh-oh. I hope she sings that part as in the first version.

 

[vaxjoe]

one of the best entries but then again i always like iceland...and its a nice break from all those neverending ballads! Go Iceland!

 

[Bruno]

OMG

I love new version, it's fabulous. It's one of my favorites now. Iceland will be winner of First Semifinal, 12pt from me now.

You and me both! Let's hope they'll listen to our mutual excellent taste.

 

[NinjaLove]

I slightly preferred the old version, but not a big difference. I guess it qualifies, but the uptempo songs are of same quality in semi1: Moldova, Albania and Iceland. What will the televoters do?

Hera is not my friend anymore. Facebook has so many problems. I added her as a friend, I commented etc but I tried to go to her profile yesterday and there was that message saying "pending friend request". :shock: So I tried to make a new friend request and a message popped up saying "sorry but this user has too many friends" :? :? So that's it.
At least I hope she read our comments and change her vocals on the big night.
