Icelandic NF is the ONLY NF so far where I find every single song acceptable to be a winner. Even those that would roughly enter the typical category are well produced, well translated and well sung (at least in the studio version). Your winner, Erna, is my third favorite. I don't know why do people compare it with Undo so much. It's the same genre, but not the copy. As for my absolute favorite, it's between Hypnotized and Again. Hypnotized makes me happy unlike any ESC song since Sebalter and Again literally brought tears to my face with that touching video. Any of them could by my 1'st if chosen.
I love Svala's song so much! slayyy. I'm not disappointed in Iceland as usual they have really cool songs! Now this country really deserves to win ;) Great video my friend!!! :)
My personal favourites (ranked least favourite to most favourite) 12th- You & I 11th- Again 10th- I'll Be Gone 9th- Get Back Home 8th- Obvious Love 7th- Trust In Me 6th- Bammbaramm 5th- Make Your Way Back Home 4th- Is This Love? 3rd- Hypnotised 2nd- Tonight 1st- Paper But my ranking in terms of what would do well in Eurovision is as follows: 12th- Again 11th- You & I 10th- Is This Love? 9th- Trust In Me 8th- I'll Be Gone 7th- Obvious Love 6th- Get Back Home 5th- Bammbaramm 4th- Make Your Way Back Home 3rd-Tonight 2nd- Hypnotised 1st- Paper (12 points from me in the UK!) That was my outcome based on production value, melody, catchiness, memorability, Euro-friendliness & vocals.
The icelandic versions are really great, just I thought the english version could be understandable for one who wants to know the message of the song! I see you have uploaded your top too! Let's watch it ;) Thank you so much for your kind words again my friend!
We have the same winner but I have to say, I prefer every single song in Icelandic, I think it's sad they now are under pressure to sing in English, Icelandic is a beautiful language and needs to be more represented
Numbers 10, 8 and 1 are my personal favorites. Good luck from Belgium. PS: Last years, Iceland has send a number of songs wich were really under estimated in my opinion ;)
Good selection from Iceland as any of this songs is bad. Any of them could win the whole contest though.. I like my top 2 almost the same! Good luck Iceland!
Esc Mike Hi Mike. Would you put the Icelandic versions of the same songs in the same order? Also, what is your opinion about Iceland's choice to make all the songs have two versions this year? Thanks. Some of these songs are re-writes of recent Euro hits, by the way. Your top 3 are the worst offenders; sorry.
Hi Mike, it would also help, if you can support Gražvydas - Paint the sky blue song from Lithuania, that one is also brilliant, please help. Many thanks. Standa
My favorite are 'Paper' and 'I'll be gone' for sure ! I wish she would sing 'I'll be gone' in Icelandic though it sounds so much better! She's my winner ♥
Some songs are really good but I'm just a little sad that there's not a song in Icelandic here. And i just so happen to be in love with that language. Anyways GOODLUCK ICELAND!!!
Just I thought that the english versions would be understandable from someone who wants to know the message of the song! I agree this language is very beautiful!
