Back to weird songs pls. No another hipster garbage

 

[lasse braun]

fine calm song from ESC 2022 participant systur.

Turn this around could have been the entry to save 2022 for me, what a lost opportunity. It would have done so well in a year so devoid of upbeat songs.

Please Iceland, stop the gold duels and send the initial winner to Liverpool!

[tsegaye]

I've listened to the Icelandic versions of the songs now... Meh.

What a boring set of songs. The best choice I guess would be Diljá or Silja Rós og Kjalar but I think Iceland will struggle to advance from the semifinals this year

 

[EscGeek]

I need the only non english song to win again. OK?

 

[Kitakaze]

Oh dear.

This is one wet cloth of a NF. Some songs are fine, but nothing really jumped. Smells like a NQ.

Nice-ish
Móa - "Loose This Dream" / "Glötuð ást"
Silja Rós & Kjalar - "Together we grow" / "Ég styð þína braut"
Kristín Sesselja - "Terrified" / "Óbyggðir"

It's just...there
Celebs - "Doomsday Dancing"/"Dómsdagsdans"
Bendeikt - "Brave Face"/"Þora"
Úlfar - "Impossible" / "Betri maður"
Sigga Ózk - "Dancing Lonely" / "Gleyma þér og dansa"

No
Diljá - "Power" / "Lifandi inni í mér"
Bragi - "Sometimes the World's Against You" / "Stundum snýst heimurinn gegn þér"
Langi Seli & Skuggarnir - "OK"

01 MÓA 10/10
02 Diljá 10/10
03 BRAGI 7/10
04 Kristín Sesselja 5/10
05 Sigga Ózk 4/10
06 Silja Rós & Kjalar 3/10
07 Úlfar 3/10
08 Celebs 1/10
09 Langi Seli og Skuggarnir 1/10
10 Benedikt 0/10

I would say this NF disappointing, but i failing in love with the Songs from MÓA and Diljá. MÓA has really outstanding voice, she could do very well at ESC and Diljá Song is my personal taste, but for ESC i don't know, no matter i love it.
The rest is so weak and boring, for me they didn't need two semis.

 

[lasse braun]

the only good song comes from Silja Rós & Kjalar in their own language version.

[Datura]

I like iceland and i think they always bring a special vibe. And i enjoy uneventful Songs so i dont find this as lame as most others might do
But yes theres nothing too grabbing here. I guess my faves are Silja Rós og Kjalar but i'm not sure if that would find any appeal at eurovision. (Icelandic Version only)
Bragis song is alright but its as generic as can be i think ive heard it let alone this year in 3 preselections already

 

[Mrm]

CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS, CELEBS!!!!


If no Celebs in Liverpool, I sue!!
I will cancel my appartment reservation in Liverpool, I will destroy my airplane tickets for UK, and I won't apply for the UK visa at all!!

CELEBS!

 

[Mrm]

I need the only non english song to win again. OK?

You don't like ICONIC CELEBS????
Now seriously.. Maaaaaarš!!!

 

[mauve]

I can imagine that @Looren he will find many songs in this section!
As for myself I can't burn for one song ardently, but I kind of like the most:

Celebs – Dómsdagsdans
Langi Seli og Skuggarnir – OK
 Úlfar – Betri maður

But I doubt that any of the songs can make it to the final unless the semi is full with weak songs.

Now seriously.. Maaaaaarš!!!

I wouldn't say that i don't like them, but i'm trying to hold the same standard for all countries.

As long as they stay away from the slow songs or those mid-tempo ones that feel "DMGP-ish" there's hope for

You so wrong this time around, dearest mauve!
But you are on the right way, cause you liked them and even put them (maybe you think it is accidentally) on the first place..

Celebs mean bussines, mark my words, Celebs are here to shine and win it, and to be a serious threat in Liverpool as well..they give me a big winners vibe, Celebs are not here to joke, I swear…


Just look at this girl from Celebs, her face expression is everything!!
Love this pic..
