Re: ICELAND 2016

That was the best Opening EVER. So many Eurovision legends in one room.

I haven't listened to any of the songs yet but Iceland isn't usually my go-to country in Eurovision terms. Plus it always seems like they randomly select winners, the two songs moving on to the Super Final are always random.

Re: ICELAND 2016

Agreed. If you can't perform the message of the song in your native language, you're not a good performer. But Greta is. She CAN communicate the message of the song in Icelandic. So the excuse is a load of crap.

Exactly. She can do it easily. Excuses like that annoy me so much.

I Promised You Then: I find this a bit dull in parts but quite sweet in others. Would probably have been a better fit a decade ago. 6/10

This is the worst excuse ever with the worst reasons ever, as Elhaida Dani's producer/composer of 'Diell' told us last year.
A mix of shitty reasons which everyone shouldn't listen to..
'Oh excuse me, my cat ripped the lyrics off which were written on this paper, then we have to write another one.'

Re: ICELAND 2016

With her powerful song and that stage performance Greta is a strong contender for the Top 10 in Stockholm, this seems pretty clear to me.

I disagree. Greta's song and performance resembles the country-ness and visuals of last year's winner, it would pass through the semifinal but it would stuck in final.

Re: ICELAND 2016

If Iceland decides to go non hip today, then pls go with Karlotta and revamp the song, it lacks a chorus tbh

But I know deep in their heart every Icelander wants to go hip today

Re: ICELAND 2016

Is that schizophrenic song with the video game samples still competing? Just so I know whether to watch this or to go and cry in a corner somewhere for the evening. Thank you.

'Oh excuse me, my cat tore apart the lyrics which were written on this paper, then we have to write another one.'

That would be the best shit excuse for changing the language EVER!!

On a side note, rather enjoying Eye of the Storm!

Re: ICELAND 2016

Eye of the Storm: Karlotta was my favourite heading in and this song survives the translation intact, but her vocals were underwhelming. Still going to put it on the same level as Greta cos it has greater potential to improve between now and May into something very cool. Would love this song sung by Greta tbh 8/10

Re: ICELAND 2016

Karlotta's song was flawless and sparkling, this is the only decent choice (along with Greta's song) which Iceland should/could make tonight.

Re: ICELAND 2016

The dress of Guðrún (the presenterwith the short hair) really looks weird. It's like she was in hurry and took a random top out of the wardrobe

Nope.

Thank you.

It's out SOOC

Re: ICELAND 2016

Greta's song is actually the strongest one so far. Eye of the storm feels incomplete, but it's not horrible.

It's not... You can watch some Amanda Lear archive.
