Re: ICELAND 2016

I don't like "Our Knee". Way overblown and has no warmth to it. Just screechy, except there's nothing behind the screeching for her to get away with it.

Re: ICELAND 2016

The Icelandic flag is probably my fave of the Scandinavian crosses, just has the right balance.

They really deserve to win, why not this year since it is exactly 30 years since their debut in Bergen with "Gledibankinn"

Re: ICELAND 2016

'Now' or 'Augnablik, call it by anything you want to, is harmful to my ears.
Erm... a little picture will help you to understand my feeling which are playing inside my mind right now:

EDIT: It's not even catchy at all...

Re: ICELAND 2016

Now: Oh look another sickly sweet pop ballad, just like the other 80 we've heard this year. It's one of the better ones, in that it has some slightly distinctive moments, but it isn't strong enough to get to Stockholm I hope, cos if it does get there it's going to fall way behind it's sisters. Her vocal is on point though, possibly the best of the night. 6.5/10

----------

Raddinar and Ostodvandi for superfinal for me.

Re: ICELAND 2016

That's the best of the best in Iceland? As I said before, I just don't get their taste in music. Greta's song is passable which means it's not going to win.

Was that Lena in the greenroom, is she competing in the final as a writer or is she judge?

That song we just heard sounds like it would be on a commercial trying to sell us a mobile phone deal.

Re: ICELAND 2016

So... After 2 ears' painful bleeding because of those horrible songs from Alda and ...... the brown-haired woman I'd say... :lol:
My qualifiers would be :

Greta & Karlotta.

No Iceland win in 2016. Tbh. in my view there is not even a sure finalist. I can't join the chorus on Greta either, to me she was just one of the bunch. :(

I'm dreaming of Yohanna which pull them all out of the show, and sing 'Is it true' and being the winner of the whole selection...
