It looks very bad for Iceland this year. I watched both semifinals but the only two songs I could remember was "Von" and "Til Pin". It get's really hard for Iceland this year to qualify, i think.

Iceland chose the worst possible songs. There is only one song left I care about. Damn, I really don't get them.

The song is just a little too calm for eurovision, that's how I think about it.

Worst possible? For me, the final is almost perfect. Just need to switch one song with another.

Sorry, i only like Greta's song, everything else is thumbs down for me. The two eliminated songs from Semi 1 were amazing but Amor getting the wildcard is a crime. Oh well, at least I can put my support behind Greta 100%. The Song "Von" would be the only alternative.

It seems like we don't agree with how the final is in Iceland, the only song I don't like in the final is Greta's, but people will vote for it, both because of her father and because she's in the Icelandic national football team.

usually I wouldn't agree on people voting for a song cause a person is famous but I'll make an exception this time ;)

But yes, totally opposite when it comes to taste in music.

I just can't see it on the big stage in Copenhagen, I can see all of the other songs in the final on the stage. I really hope that Pollapönk wins, because even if they won't qualify, they'll probably make a great gimmick and would be amazing in interviews.

Note: When I mean gimmick, I'm talking about that fans can wear os have something that only they are connected to, for example the uniforms. But also, the translator of the song would be John Grant. So they are the only act who's been thinking about how to make it bigger and better after each show.

Actually I think Greta could have a Malta 2013 repeat. It's a little quiet but incredibly cute and melodic. We shall see.

Thank goodness Greta and Gissur are in the final... Precisely, in this semi-final I wanted Pollapönk and F.U.N.K. out, because I supported the other contenders...

I agree that it resembles Malat 2013 the most, but it can never be nearly as good as Malta 2013. For me, the perfomance was a little awkward, I felt like I was listening to girl toddlers singing. I don't want to have an argument, but I would like to continue talking to you about this, on a good note, no one gets angry.

Note: I'm not saying that you are angry, I just want to make sure that both of us are just having a normal conversation.

Greta is adorable, and her song is sooo cute. I wish the best for her, because she's my absolute favourite. :D

Of course, taste differ.....mine just happens to be superior (j/k ;) )

If Greta wins she'd have to change the staging which I'm sure she will.
