It's a shame, this falls into the "Leto Svet", and "here we go" category but that is what the Icelandic people wanted. Needless to say that this won't succeed in Copenhagen. Sweden and Denmark alone won't be able to push it through.

So you agree switching from English to Icelandic would be wrong as well?

It's equally unfair to voters, so yeah (though i personally don't mind it because when they switch to english lyrics are usually badly written, at least i cannot understand them when it's in a national language :lol:), but to be fair any switch should be banned so people think twice before submitting an entry and choose wisely prior to an event.

Pollaponk?
Good, dead last on my list, eat that.
The first seriously horrible song of the season.

Re: ICELAND 2014

go go power rangers!!! xfruits:

I'm sorry for most of you guys having serious music taste...Eurovision is all about fun and this song is fun

Who are you to decide what Eurovision is about? There is no law stating that. Everyone is free to enjoy whatever music they want ESC, and I prefer something slightly higher caliber than this crap.

You know, "Here we go" sounds brilliant after that :D

This reminds me of some skatepunk band from the early 2000s.

Still, it's a good song. Not great, but it works. The stage show needs to be changed though, as it probably works better for the Icelandic, who know Pollapönk. To foreign viewers, Pollapönk look like a group of men in a bad midlife crisis who are in denial. The song means less at that point.

But will it qualify? Nah. I don't see it. Wouldn't mind if it did, but it most likely won't.

If this is supposed to be a joke entry, then Leto Svet isn't the worst joke entry anymore :) 0 points!

Yes, I think the same. Iceland won't qualify for the final... The rest of songs would have to be very bad to do it...

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! That's 2, maybe 3 songs now I like in this years Eurovision. I think this is really catchy, creative garage-ish punk and it's a shame people take this the wrong way just because of how they are dressed. I wouldn't compare this to (the wonderful) Leto Svet as that song was pure joke. Iceland's song this year is incredibly well sung and with a great positive message. This is awesome and I can't wait for the John Grant lyricsxheat

Then send John Grant next year Iceland. You can select him internally for mexqueenbitch
