It's kids music and not appealing to the average/mainstream adult ear.
While I'm personally surprised anybody would find this appealing in any shape or form, the current poll results, betting odds etc should not come as a surprise.
I don't get why this is doing badly in the polls. It could be a huge hit in today's music charts... possibly the novelty value of the band's image puts people off? I'm not writing this one off, it stands a great chance of qualifying IMO
I bet that you only say that it's kids music because 2 members are kindergardeners, which is sad.....
You certainly lost that bet, they ARE making children's music. Check wikipedia and other sources. The two teachers you are referring to created a band to make music that was also appealing to children. I'm not making stuff up.
That doesn't mean people aren't allowed to enjoy it, I just pointed out why this will not appeal to the average ear too much.
You said that the song is a kids song, that was what I was betting against, plus, don't trust wikipedia, I happen to live in Iceland and know that they intend to make songs that both children and adults can enjoy, and that, my friend, means that I won the bet.
I don't understand your point, I pointed out that their music is aimed to also appeal to children and that comes across. I don't know why you get so defensive about that. Nothing to be ashamed of, I merely pointed out that to the average ear it comes accross as childlike, if that's something you enjoy then that's great and nothing to get worked up over.
Look at your first comment, then you'll understand....
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that except maybe the fact that I don't like the song?!?!?
Anyways, it doesn't matter let's just move on.
I'm cool with moving on, but I made a bet about a thing you said on this thread, and you should know which.
Either er you gonna tell me what you're referring to or let it go
Simple solution, if Hekla in its current dormant state has an open crater with magma swirling around, fill the crater with extra strong concrete, and whether or not it currently has a crater cover it with a thick indestructible concrete shell.According to scientists Hekla is about to have a major eruption over the next few weeks.. Pollaponk need to get out of Iceland soon in case it causes problems with airtravel again :/
Well I don't like Iceland's entry for this year at all, it's just not my favoured style of singing/music. Why couldn't they have gone for a soothing ballad like they had last year, or something along the lines of "Je Ne Sais Quoi" sung by Hera Björk in 2010?

That's what the Icelandic Government should have done when Eyjafjallajökull erupted in April 2010 - they should have sent a convoy of ready-mixed concrete tankers to it and filled its crater (fast) with extra strong concrete, and then encased its cone with an indestructible concrete shell. That would quickly have stopped it spuing ash into the atmosphere, and thus prevented all the air travel chaos all over Europe. Ditto Grímsvötn in May 2011.
In what respect do I have a lack of geographical wisdom? Please explain further.Your lack of geographical wisdom is astonishing
