I love Celebs

 

[lasse braun]

this delicate song tastes of elves,fairies,magic and the fairytale forest.

 

[MopManMoss]

I cannot understate just how much I need to hear Celebs at eurovision

Another year and another good selection from . Silja Rós og Kjalar were my favorite from first listen of the Icelandic versions. Followed by by Kristin Sessija and Diljá. Silja og Kjalar could be a mess live but I'm hopeful not. Gives off mystical indie vibes even if the chorus is a little confusing.

Celebs has OGAE-fan favorite written all over it. Úlfar has a pretty male piano ballad and Sigga Ózk has a cute dance number paying tribute to 1980.

Semis are quite unbalanced for me. The 2nd semi looks a lot stronger on paper. The only song I really feel strongly tonight about is Diljá.

1. Silja Rós og Kjalar
2. Kristín Sesselja
3. Diljá
4. Celebs
5. Úlfar
6. Sigga Ózk
7. Benedikt
8. MÓA
9. Bragi
10. Langi Seli og Skuggarnir

NOTE: These rankings are based only off Icelandic version as I've intentionally not listened to the English ones yet.

Well, besides the song being very average, Benedict's vocals are quite weak.

 

[Etanna]

all the hype was around this?? this was absolutely awful

 

[mauve]

OMG. Celebs is already now iconic!

 

[mauve]

Mathematics:
Terrible vocals + weird staging = Celebs = iconic

 

[Etanna]

Mathematics:
Terrible vocals + weird staging = Celebs = iconic

I'm not sure if "iconic" is the word I'd use I really didn't enjoy a second of it

 

[mauve]

Moa is quite okay, but I find myself staring at her lips somehow. Now I am weird.

 

[lasse braun]

the second and the last act i like most - no.5 (moa) diva vibes!
celebs?
is that a serious act?
a lot action on stage but for what?
brutal modus that only 2 coming through!

 

[mauve]

Well, Moa was still the best tonight. Hope she comes thru. I had Celebs high on my list, but my mathematics were wrong I think.

 

[MopManMoss]

Celebs are a glorious trainwreck live

 

[Kruto]

And that is why I love them.

 

[mauve]

I love Celebs

Do you still love them? (i loved them before the live performance as well, just saying ...)

 

[lasse braun]

my anna oxa moment.

Semi Final 1 qualifiers:

Dilja
Bragi

 

[Geborgenheit]

I like Dilja's song Lifandi inni i mer. Good luck in the final!

 

[mauve]

Well, not the best qualifiers, but semi 2 is stronger, so I hope one of there will go to Liverpool.

Me: Reiley can't sing and shouldnt be at eurovision
Also me: Celebs can't sing and should be at eurovision
