Eurovision 2008 Final - Iceland - Euroband - This Is My Life

[Teddyngham]

I think I have seen this guy before, hasen´t he made some CD with Jógvan Hansen? Is his name Eygun Gølakson, or something simular.

[TinniTibet]

I like that song

[TheEmilyHunt]

Love it! Guy is very nice ;)

Greetings from England (UK)

[Pawle995]

@toxicray93 Well, I don't like the songs.... And voting.... It's ridiculous.... We can predict everything... -.-

[satanismylapdog]

@toxicray93 agree. For mine the best song of '08. However 2008 was an exceptional year of quality songs. Between turkey Iceland Israel and Russia it was harsh to have only one winner

[philipposathina]

another really good song sent to the contest from Iceland... excellent pop-electronic this time!!! we all know how comes that some trivial bulshit come to win when some really "strong" songs like this are seemingly ignored! good luck next time Iceland, regards from Greece (last but not least, you should'nt ignore that much the greek entries either... hehe!)

[Pawle995]

I love this song.. This eurovision (in Serbia) was the best.. Yes I live in Serbia, but it's not because of that but because of the songs!! Now I don't like the eurovision anymore :(

[kongen356]

@michalis7282

it is Barney Stinson that looks a lil bit like him.

[neknarf1973]

I still love this song soooo much. It sounds much better live than the recording by the way. Their performance is so energetic. Amazing !!

[TheZippoMontefiore]

My name is Miguel Mendes.

[MuhammetBebek]

Super song... !!

[hannesthefreakl]

iceland = one of the most overrated esc countries ever

[reyndeer]

@hannesthefreakl don't you mean underrated?

[heijack77]

@hannesthefreakl

[nancyegils]

@heijack77 HAHAHA

[AURELIJUXXXXXX]

[livesontrial]

[DerRealLoewe]

Iceland is the bets per capita ESC , no doubts there. This could and should have won.

[foxyboy5]

[batumi91]

I LOVE THIS SONG, IT'S AMAZING!!!!

Greatings from Croatia =)

[phevosaek21]

The best of the year and we (Greece) should vote that song.

[aufrechtgehn1]

It's the 2000s update of 'I am what I am'! :)

My best-loved Eurovision song ever. This should SO have won!

[RodayIsabela]

Normally I cheer for Finland no matter what but I think this is becoming my favorite northern entry.

[kristo1410]

We (Denmark) own you so freaking many points - not we will give you bad songs 12, cause neighboor(?) voting isnt fun with always giving the same country 12 - but i am so HAPPY THAT WE GAVE YOU 12 IN 2008 - YOU DESERVED A PLACE IN TOP 1!!!!! :D Go iceland! :D

[coccola]

Inspiring lyrics and awesom beat. Iceland always amazes me in esc. 12 points

[dorthart]

[soccersj93]

@symvolo90 yep, thats Hera Bjork! :D

[Brjalaedingarnir]

OMG! thanks everyone for being so nice to iceland i remember when i was 4-5 and i was in play school and my friend Katrin was Regina and my other friend Sigurdur was the boy i dont remember what his name was and they were singing this song... :')

[mcntkn]

Good job cameraman guys

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

I find it truly outrageus that they got so little.

[Michalis7282]

Lol, the singer looks a lil bit like Barney Stinson

[biggivb96]

@Michalis7282 and they are both gay

[db01031988]

[TheNRWmartin]

[TheDogFan2000]

[feldsher82]

[satanismylapdog]

And my vote from Greece for 2011 Euro Contest ...is Iceland 2008 !!!....#@ck yeah !!!

[DanniiYoung656]

I want Regina's dress....

[slivkaX]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG FOREVER!! LOVE ISLAND!!

[bootsamou]

I really dont know why it didnt do better. After all France's "I'm Will be Popular" this year did very well. To me this is a million times better.

Seems that "Eastern-block" countries dont seem to go for dance songs.

Hey ~ this is real smilar to Iceland's 2010 "Je Ne Sais Croix" eh? (same writer??)

[DanniiYoung656]

@bootsamou France's "I will be Popular"? I thought it was Eric Saade who sang "Popular"...

[bootsamou]

@DanniiYoung656

Ha! Yeah ! Wow ~ I musta been tired when I wrote that.

Of course "I Will be Popular" was Sweden.

[bootsamou]

Has Iceland ever put forward a bum song?

Great stuff.

Remember "I'm All Out of Luck" ?

[TheBekili]

I love this song! greetings from serbia!

[justinbfan94]

Its way better than the Russian song..

[TheBoobzillah]

Her shoes! OMG i want em!

[HugrunL95]

now THIS is a real eurovision song!! Love it <3

GOO ICELAND!!

[thestarkid1]

thumbs up if you watrched eurovison yesterday!

[katerynavelychko]

@thestarkid1 I'm so happy for Azerbaijan! :)

[XSunacX]

@thestarkid1 yesterday? no! :P

[Alphahumphrey2011]

Should had been in the final top 5.

[PokemonMyFriends]

the girl is very beautiful and the song is also amazing.i had many years to listen to it

[deejaymilan]

The song is amazing...! I listen to this song almost every day since the Eurovision 2008...

[JimmysEurofan]

ICELAND <3

[TheShakerqueen]

This song is beautiful in their original language :D

[northernsnapper]

A belter of a good song, modern, full of energy,one of the best tunes never to win Eurovision.

[neobestur]

besta lag í Eurovision

[TeamTomat0]

Why is there so many songs with this name? lol

[MySaints2009]

This song is really class thought it would of won it that blonde girl is stunning aswell.

[MrNekotreci]

Very good Iceland's entry. Love the rhythm ! : )) And she is so cute and chubby : )

Greetings from Serbia !

[miguelmontecastro1]

I Love THIS SONG!!!!!

ICELAND, I LOVE IT!!!

SHAME ON EUROPE FOR ONLY GIVING IT DOUBLE DIGIT POINTS!!! :(

[HugrunL95]

two blondies from Iceland love it! :)

[journalistgirl07]

so catchy! this should be the winner !

[daithiolabhrai]

This is my all time favourite Eurovision song ever! This should have won hands down. Russia's song was poor.

[marksmanb727]

2008 - 2010 Iceland produced truly brilliant euro songs and fully deserved at least one win !

[daithiolabhrai]

@marksmanb727 Absolutely agree, three fantastic songs

[kimzeeblond1998]

@marksmanb727 agreed :) but all the countries vote for their neighbors so matter how shameful the song is :/

[marijanhodak]

how I love eurotrash!

[Maaian]

They deserved at least Top 5

[markitavinnitskaya]

my fav from 2008! <3

[respect89riga]

2008 was one of the strongest years at all

[MajSolo]

@respect89riga yeah.

Old daddy is thinking

maybe Hungary and Malta is pretty good this year ..... yawn

[LateKorpikoski]

This song is so lovely! And that guy... I love his smile.

[4wastedyears]

in that this style, it's one of the songs ever!

[WingedLolita]

I remember first time I heard this song, loved it instantly and I still do, Iceland truly deserved to win 2008 =)

[92djordje]

Her shoes are wonderfull :)

[noAngel0666]

This is my life.. I don’t wanna change a think ..

Ohhh.. How I LOVE this song!!!...<3

[daniel91503]

don't like him :(

[Aiffersch]

In my mind, they won that year.

[yeovildancer]

@Aiffersch i couldnt agree more xD

the only i dont like is how they change so many of the lyrics to the actual version they released

[BendTOONer]

the best song in eurovision history in my eyes! and that is the best comment ever EUROVISION NEEDS TRANCE!.. from a fed up UK supporter!

[dekolbe]

He looks like Neil Patrick Harris ^^ haha

[E2704G]

this is the song that helped me coming out of the closet! :')) x

[LindaLolaLove]

@E2704G Good for you.. !!

[E2704G]

@LindaLolaLove :))

[BlakeGoodwell]

@E2704G how did that help with coming out? o_O

[TheJM15]

@BlakeGoodwell

Just look at the lyrics ... ;)

[BlakeGoodwell]

@TheJM15 lol xD well good for you or him ^^ im from iceland

[E2704G]

@BlakeGoodwell the lyrics says it all. and it gave me motivation to believe in who I am :))

[torpedosite]

i like women with few extra pounds

[caracuru]

Very very very gooood!

[kolfinnapg]

Flott hjá ykkur Euroband :)

[danasy87]

lol this song is kinda 90s

[Eno1231]

the members are lookinkg to to the text and the beat and if it not the same about the another songs

[The99Brothers]

I would like to meet the members of Euroband! They had to win! They have a beautiful song! Congratulations!

12 points from Romania!

[Ixidor13]

Holy shit! u can land an helicopter in that forehead!

[tranmere28]

there is a bit of story behind this act they had an good back up dance act and dropped it last minute for back up vocals to really make the strong more powerfull i think the back up dancers would of been more better to enhance the high energy song

[demle2]

@tranmere28 I disagree. We have to continuesly try to make it about the music, not the show!!! The decision was correct. Too bad most of Europe still are voting for the show regardless of inferior music compositions and vocals. This skould have ended in top 3 at least.

[tranmere28]

@demle2 i was not crisising at all i loved the song i would of loved to see it win i loved it i lover high energy music great vocals they worked so well together on stage an i immeditaly picked this song out the lot as my favourite so i wasn't picking on them just the stage looked a bit empty behind them and to put dancers on it would of helped and modern music to me is a good mix of singing dancing and with a bit of spice added in like norways fiddle

[gleymmerei]

Why this didnt place higher is beyond me

[meraba91]

great song 12 POINTS DE FRANCE

[TheIndestructibles]

the best song in my opinion i loved so much

[ZippoMontefiore]

Great song, man.

[robzzzzable]

I just don't understand eurovision anymore...someone please tell me why this didnt even make top 10? that is just rediculous. It can't be the anything to do with political voting because iceland came 2nd the next year, so i dont understand cus most people online all put this as an underatted song and most people i know in UK loved it, so why so low? i just dont understand lol

[lsevt]

They should´ve won.

[lsevt]

They should´ve won.

[oEpimenonNika]

Super song !!!!!!!!

[thenoobyman]

the male singer is every eurovision iceland songs thumbs up you see it ?

[BilIisHotAsHell]

The boy should think about bangs. They'd look good on him, or so I think.

[aprikozz]

I liked this.. but i wanna change many things in my life though :P

[VanOostjien]

They should have won! perfect performance!

[ich12327]

They were better as Europe voted

[ELIZABETH97able]

Soo powerfull song ! :)

[BlahBlah5127]

for some odd reason the guy just looks like the male version of Yohanna.

[retrovogue]

and by the way, great singers!

[retrovogue]

they brought back eurodance, now this is the real technoi music ,everything else is shit

[Elanchana]

The pink shoes.

[BlahBlah5127]

Here is an instance were Iceland should have won it, similar to 2009 when they should have won it too, and they definitely deserved better than 19 in 2010, every other 2008 Eurovision song sucks!

[salmonelas123]

that was epic o.o 1:02 - 1:12

[GretneRebirth]

This was the best song of 2008, though I don't think it was a winner it should've been top 3.

F*ck Dima Bilan.

[TheFlinken1]

Sorry my home land was better this year. 2008 was finland the real winner

[yiorgosr2]

This song is so energetic! They should have won! And Regina with Omar is  great as a duet

[ESCfannumber1]

This is the best icelandic entry!

[patrickfiori]

The worst Icelandic in the 00s was 2006, the other were good/excelent specially 2009

[TammTamm22]

the sing was good, the outfits nice... but this voices.... hmm. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much power, unvelievable!!!!! im still flashed! the performance was full of energy!

[friendmaker]

THis is ISMAILIFE

xDDD

[lordantosha]

I think this song is the best. I love euroband.

[lordantosha]

I think this song is the best. I love euroband.

[lordantosha]

I think this song is the best. I love euroband.

[friendmaker]

muito pesadinha po que é questionado

[BigRedDemon7]

I think iceland deserved a victroy with this song! Thumbs up if you agree!

[Kunniatonpaskiainen]

This was so gay! Thank god they did not win.All the Euro-crew would have to take life-boats to get back home...

[gslifelix]

@Kunniatonpaskiainen of course it's gay, the singer is...

[khezr]

@BigRedDemon7 This was the best song in 2008. To be honest, after 2008, I could not see any song better than this.

[belgianlunitic]

not many artist are vocal so good on eurosong

[GreatAlexanderGR]

gay

[MrClaydoy]

[99eurovision]

great song!!!!! from SPAIN

[Mrs1yohanna98]

She has totally beautiful dress .. and lovely pink shoes

[teabloodbitch]

it has been two years but i actually still love this song <3

[VictorAlfredsson]

if the singer would suit up he would look just like neil patrick harris.

[bart122333]

Too Western for ESC I think... This type of music simply doesn't exist in eastern Europe, except for Poland maybe..

[Ixidor13]

At 2:36 u can perfectly hear Hera's voice. She's a powerful voice O_O

[richardsweden]

Iceland's songs get better every year and they've made the final 3 times in a row !

[BlueBoyRBD]

@richardsweden yohanna is the best!:X

[SamirBesTT]

GREAT SONG

FROM UKRAINE

[AndrewUK1987]

I remember the days when this would have walked the scoreboard all the way to the top.

[yomenzapada]

[Kunniatonpaskiainen]

[Kunniatonpaskiainen]

@Neznakomka198

[Kunniatonpaskiainen]

This makes me feel good!

[brammetje84]

They deserved a better result. Best vocals of the night, fantastic backings. Thank you iceland!!

[Alexspark005]

Belgrade did a great job with the stage, even in the choroegraphy and how it flowed with the camera movement set the contest apart from Moscow, Oslo, Athens etc. I thought :D

[Kodeka]

Homosexual? :DDDD

[mrsTorrard88]

@Kodeka Yes he's gay but who cares ? he's a very famous singer here in Iceland and so is she.

[Kunniatonpaskiainen]

@mrsTorrard88 What else has he done? Love him on this!

[tryggvesson]

@Kunniatonpaskiainen he has done a song called "eldur" wich means fire. and recently he was doing a "elvis" musical in iceland and has done christmas concerts as well.. i think this song in its original icelandic is way better "fullkomid lif" wich means "perfect life".. look it up=)
