Iceland ICELAND 2023 - Diljá - Power
- Thread starter ESC United Mod Team
- Start date
- Watchers 28
Watched the final as well and the Elvis dudes were a surprise in the Superfinal. At least, the winner was clear before the final voting started 
Personally, I was rooting for Sigga. But her live was quite underwhealming tbh. Probably the problem she was so low in public vote.
About "Power", I like it quite a lot. It was in my playlist since it was released. I prefer Icelandic version, but English is not bad, too.
I'll give it a and keep enjoying

It was a landslide for Diljá in the final.
And Dilja won the jury vote, too.
It's weird that the jury points were like maybe some 100 points scoring wich then being projected in equal amounts to the public vote.

Were they allowed to send more than one vote though? But yeah those voting numbers are crazy, the winner got much more votes than the winner of televoting in Poland (Jann with Gladiator who allegedly received 50k votes) and the population of Iceland is around ... 121 times smaller than that of Poland.WTF, is this real?
Damn, they MUST love ESC
And I thought Estonians were crazy about that. 4 times bigger population and 4 times less votes in Superfinal
But yeah, our prices were the biggest of all the other countries, so...

What a mess did I just watch? A girl in a 90s outfit sings an 80s songs with a 2010s drum n bass rhythm and a 2000s background behind her.
Oh dear Iceland, I‘ve always had a soft spot for you in Eurovision but this has to be your worst effort for the last 15 years or so.
3 pts.
THIS happened though. By far the worst Icelandic entry. And it finished last in its SF with 0 TV points and I think he wasn't even on the edge of receiving 1pt in the televoting in any country IIRC.

I noticed that slow ballads that strike me as corny you find ... lovely nearly always.

This is veeery middle of the road what serves us this year. It´s not unpleasant to listen and I like her voice, but I had some trouble understanding the lyrics because of her slurred pronounciation and one minute after it ended the only thing I remember is the "P-P-Power" thing in the chorus. Is that enough for the final?? I´m not sure. 
I give Diljá cause it´s still quite ok for me.

You mean in Estonia? Yes, we could vote as much we wanted. Only our wallets were the limit

Yup.
In Germany you were allowed to vote only once.
