This one clearly stood out. I'm not sure if I like it a lot or find it annoying, but it's really interesting. Since I listened to it only once, it could grow on me or start hating it. I expect it to have a good result in the final.

A bit late to say something about it, but I find this to be a weird entry. Obvious why of course, but also in one way, it kind of leaves me cold - doesn't go through, gets bad placing, wins - I don't care. But I also want it to go through, because it is so weird and it's different and differences are fun. But I also think the act is insanely busy and complicated and I don't know where to look. Don't know what tot hink about this other than that it's weird.

They were beyond amazing, this was such a "slayage" in every way. One of the most iconic performances ever xhbangxrockoutxbb


Capitalism suffered a major blow after this show :mrgreen:

I appreciate them as an entry out of the box and bringing something else to the contest, even though I don’t like their song at all. However, I certainly hope they don’t win. It would hurt the positive view of the contest that has become better during the recent years. Netta’s chicken sounds were borderline, but this winning would definitely bring us back to ‘it’s a crazy freak show’ opinion people tend to have.

We don't need others opinions are we ? We're not supposed to change people's mind, I personally feel that (regardless of Iceland btw) there's less and less "fun" entries which makes the contest boring as fuck. I don't want to have a contest with songs I can actually listen outside the contest. It's once in a year, it should be special. I'm thankful San Marino got through cause it's just light hearted and fun, I'm thankful to have the dementors from Australia (and as you may know or not people are already making fun of the contest because of this "crazy performance"). Not saying everything should be novelty though but I don't think the contest will stop because a weird act wins it all, ESC shouldn't look like an expensive X FACTOR with songs barely original (and actually people that knew that I loved ESC told me Netta was the absolute best and they bought her single, maybe you had a different experience I don't know)

HATARI is playfully answering stupid questions with "that's the first step to destroy capitalism" (like : "what represents your act?"), they listed big companies for example as Mc Donald, Domino's or the Deustche Bank, sometimes they thank them, sometimes they loathe them. Everything about the act is kinda absurd/ridiculous humor. They always talk about "Soda Dream" and thank them for financing their act but Soda Dream is an invention or they always answer "we have to receive our planning from our agency SCAM" and SCAM just means...well a fraud.

For some it will be too much, specially people that prefers "easy humor" that is very instant to laugh at, but I kinda like it to be honest, they're mocking the music industry and at the same time they do Eurovision respectfully and seriously. But the fact they stay serious makes people second guess for more than a second. [MENTION=4368]Milos-BC[/MENTION] was just using one of their main jokes :)

I predict they're going to pull out the flag of Palestine or something on Saturday and get disqualified

That could actually be the perfect move for them, but also probably immensely unpopular at home. They don't want to let Iceland down, but then again they've said they want to achieve yet another step in the "unveiling of the scam that is everyday life". They also said they want to win. Tough choice.

Hatari in the Independent said:
“We will win Eurovision 2019. As of now, things are going as planned. Songvakeppnin was another step in the downfall of capitalism and the unveiling of the scam that is everyday life. We are the pink elephant in the room.”

Klemens literally looks like the incarnation of Martin Gore. Never made the connection, but seeing them on Tuesday has been quite the eye-opener. Even Mattias wears Dave Gahan's 80's haircut :lol: Bless them xlove

Predictable stunt. Embarrassing. Icelandic Eurovision fans are the ones who will get hurt here as surely there will be consequences.
