without the feathers she would have been in the final for sure.
I'm sorry but I have to blame this on the feathers.
I was actually thinking if I should write this at all and here I am so...
on our forum, every1 commented on the feathers. almost no comments on the song. earlier today, my friend asked me "what do u think about the lady with the feathers?". also, no comment on the song from her. we talked about the feathers (I explained why are they there) and she was like "ooooh. I didn't get it".
I know it's rather lame to explain these things now and it all may annoy you all but I just wanted you to know that it wasn't song's fault. or even Franka's fault. maybe it would have been better if she removed them from the act once it was clear that video with kids won't be in the background. this way, as it seems, they just distracted people.
tbh, I have no idea if he explained the backstory cause i really don't listen to him (I rather write smth on forumOnly because the commentator in your country probably didn't explain the backstory. Scott Mills explained the meaning behind the head-dress in the UK so there was no mistake.
Why do you think a song like Iceland 2011 managed to qualify?
