I don't understand it is the song that bad or what because there is day and night between her performance in 99 and here. Her performance is so much better here.
@taboo90 Ok I wouldn't say that I hate it but I think that all of Björgvin Halldórsson's entries in the national finals from 86-90 and in 92 were better than what he actually performed in the contest and I think most of Icelandic people agree with me on that. I specially like his entry in 86 Ég lifi í draumi(I live in a dream) and 89 Sóley(Sunflower).
I still have the song in my iPod ;) But I think it was too American to stand a chance in a European contest. Also, her vocals were kind of weak occasionally...
Looking back it's easy to se why it failed. he styling the arrangement were all wrong. It needed a longer more dramatic intro., some hung male dancers in suits, make it a kind of "Bond theme" that wasn't.
Selma's lovely, as she were in 1999, the song's not bad either, yet, has she considered seriously the rag she's wearing? I mean it was the absolute televoting years! Make a dressing effort, girl! Sucha shame it DNQ for the final!
This one should have won that year. Unfortunately, too few people watch the semifinal in the Nordic countries and we do not normally get any votes from southern Europe or even central Europe for that matter. Unfortunately all countries in former Yugoslavia tend to vote for each other and more people watch, hence they almost always come to the finals, at least Croatia with quite crappy songs.... I am not that bitter though ;)
well im from iceland , and selma is only 26 years old :/ and yeah .. she is really great (: if you dont belive that im from iceland then just go to my site on youtube (: and i talk icelandic there , and in iceland selma is one of our idol there and magni too that was in supernova ;)
I'm from Romania - and this was my top favourite in 2005. Also, I've got to see again the video of 1999 adn managed to download All Out of Luck. Super optimistic positiv song. Well done Selma anyway, you are a winner! Love (L)
Selma was better the last time (im from iceland yay)i feel proud that u liked the song from iceland :P. But i feel embarrased after silvia night sang in eurovision, u see she has that ''show'' about her eagernsee, trust me im not lying her real name is Ágústa.
This song is amazing!!!! I loved it!
