I'd say Greta is the obvious choice and has this in the bag, but Iceland tend to vote in strange ways.

Re: ICELAND 2016

The audience cheered a lot more for Karlotta than Greta so I'm worried.

Greta clearly was not flawless vocally, but the staging is impressive, though clearly a reaction to Mans.

Songwise I prefer Karlotta, also because she had the better vocal performance.

The biggest present Iceland can make me is sending Karlotta and keep the song in islandic!

Greta performance was NOT good. Those hands.... that smoke. I have no idea what she sang about but it was too much for my taste. I don't like it at all.

Re: ICELAND 2016

Greta really needs to tone down the dancing if she wants to go to Stockholm, and if she does go to Stockholm then she really needs to not repeat her mistake in Baku and smile throughout the whole song. Voices isn't exactly a sad song but it's not a song of pure joy, and showing off that massive mouth of hers doesn't lend sincerity to the song. Just look at Maria Olafs last year, grinning for 3 minutes while talking about building herself back up again after a bad experience. No wonder she didn't qualify.

Well, a lot of people had loads of positives to say. It made an impression.

Re: ICELAND 2016

Oh my god, just realized that I completely forgot about the first SF of Söngvakeppnin... shame on me!
No surprise that Raddirnar made it to the final.. The staging was very impressive and remarkable, even though the message isn't entirely clear for me. However that's not crucial. The song is wonderful and her vocals were - in my opinion - alright. There is still room for improvement but it wasn't distracting in any way. I just don't like her outfit, it looks weird.
I think she would be a good representer of Iceland!
