ICELAND 2011 - Sjonni Brink's friends - Coming Home

[A-lister]

It's a pity they bland this up with English.

Would have been cool to hear Icelandic on stage again after all this years.

the song sucks anyway
at least Poland decided to stick with Polish and that's a decent song

Yeah I know, that's why I said "bland it up", in Icelandic there was something interesting atleast.

Yeah, I good for them really, I hope it's really true but it seems like it.

Also Bulgaria seems to stick to native language aswell.

Pity most countries goes in another direction though. Well well.

As for Iceland, I'm usually not a fan of their entries anyways, but Icelandic could have been cool to hear though.

Its a nice song, not more then that, but why in english!?

 

[keinan9]

Ok, after hearing the english version again, its not that bad....still its an average song...

 

[EurovisionSmile]

I like this song, don't ask me why and I believe they can make it to the final. 14th in my list.

 

[Gerly]

in Icelandic it was more special, the song. But in English its better to understand and its a bit sad if to think about Sjonni and these words.

 

[Milos-BC]

It is still bad as before. I still stand by my opinion that it would've never won the NF if those tragic circumstances didn't occur.

 

[PeterLPZ]

I can´t help me, but I like it more and more - it´s not in my TOP 10 but there are many songs, which I don´t like more. But it would be a surprise, if it will reach the final.

 

[FallenAngelII]

So... what happened to keeping the song in Icelandic?

Also, are they sure this is what Sjonni would've wanted? Goddess I hate sympathy votes.

[Megasalt]

I rated this to low. I really like it now Would be nice to see it in the final.

 

[Mickey]

I think the chorus sounded slightly better in Icelandic. The "I can't wait" line doesn't seem to fit as well. However, I still really like this.

10 points.

 

[Scooby]

Its so much grow on me and now its very close to enter in my top 10.
Very charming song

 

[Rusch]

It grows on me too. The song gives you defenitely a good feeling.

 

[Arv]

Wow. I really Hate this song. Don't know what it is about it, but it's just sooo boring. Iceland have had such wonderful songs the past few years and now this.... blah!

 

[gazzerl67]

Everything about this from the staging to the rather simplistic folksy tune looks and sounds like its dropped through a time warp from Eurovision 1978 - but with no sense of retro fun or irony.

 

[CPV4931]

I liked it in the NF-version, but I quite don´t like the English one.

I liked it in the NF-version, but I quite don´t like the English one.

i preferred the icelandic version too. the english version just doesnt seem as special given the circumstances of the song.
