To quote Loreen : "Just fucking win that shit!"

I'M SO HAPPY

Of an pretty weak final, you choosed the best one, will probably qualify and get a placing around 12-16th

Woo! Not the same quality as her 2012 entry, but certainly the best of an average bunch from Iceland this year.

Pretty much exactly my thoughts

Now hopefully he decides to sing in Icelandic... i's not a guaranteed qualifier anyway, so bring us the language!

 

[DaFlo]

good choice

 

[VikingTiger]

Say Yay!!!

As opposed to normal: Iceland chooses wisely!!!

Poll up.

My first 12 of the season.

Another plastic stereotypically eurovisionish song in... never mind.

5 for now. Lyrics sound strange with the production, almost like the "we wrote it in English and translated into Icelandic" excuse was bunk. Could grow back into something comfortable and listenable like the Icelandic version did, however.

Very good song. 8

 

[ShoeFlo]

It gets my for now

I need to call my dad. He loves her and her violin.

I am just such a sucker for that kind of Gothic outfit. It gives me Mariette vibes from last year. It's Greta. It's got great visuals. It reminds me of Mariette. This should do pretty darn well for me.

Seriously though, I don't even know if it's going to be in my Top 10 once we have all the songs but it's a solid effort and certainly a major improvement from last year. One important ingredient at Eurovision is the fact that a song needs to be memorable and this one certainly stands out. Only time will tell if it's going to be good enough but it was by miles the strongest song in this week line-up. Plus I'll get to meet her in Stockholm so I'm really excited about that.

I'm pretty nice with Iceland, for no reason, i like this country. They gave me some awesome music (Sunday... always Sunday and Hera Björk of course). I don't think that "Hear Them Calling" is a bad song, it's just... it's the same melody for 3m. On the first side it's kind of experimental music and at the same time it's not very adventurous for something experimental, it never gets bigger or i don't know, it lacks of something.

I hope when they'll mix it for the contest, they'll add some stuff to make it great.

My third 10 for the season. But still no 12s....
I really enjoy this, although more in icelandic. I like this song better than Never Forget.

 

[nunaney]

If there was a violin in this song, I would enjoy it a lot more.

 

[Matt]

10 points from me. It's not quite a 12 but good choice. This is the year of returnees and I expect more to join that list.

 

[Fierro]

2016 is year of bands and returning acts... Btw congrats Iceland with good choice
