If a solution to the 'vote for your neigbour' mentality that has so undermined the ESC in recent years had been found, I'm sure this song would have been a really strong contender to win. I'm sadly beginning to think the only way to solve the problem is to have two competitions, the Western European Song Contest and the Eastern European Song Contest. The current system isn't working.
that's really beautiful! reminds me of my husband and our relationship in the past :) when 100 km seperated us. really beautiful! jay2k4gay is right: the true winner!
In the first moment I was a little bit sceptical but when I saw them in the Semifinal and Final my opinion completely changed and they were my favorite. A few songs you have to hear more than one time to like it. Iceland is a beautiful country the most beautiful in the world I think. I hope next year you will send such an great entry again. Best wishes from your friends in Germany
Irresistible song.Great voices.It's amazing,and even more amazing when you know the story behind it.I voted for them,but with no use.That crappy ''love'' song that made me fall asleep still won >_<
eurovision shouldnt just give points to neighbor countries. THEN WHAT IS THE POINT? it is a SONG CONTEST! not a competition that gives the country next to it points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if everyone still voting for freinds and neigbors then how the hell did G.B get 100 point's,
it not that peeps vote for the neighbors seems they are next door but they do share the same culture now i voted for iceland but azerbaijan song was was just as good and deserved to win as much as this.
I'm swedish and I voted for this song, but not because we're neighbours but because it was the best song! I love it, have it on repeat on my iPod. I just feel happy when I hear it!
I voted for this from Greece! It's amazing song! It deserved to be the winner! I felt in love with the rhythem and the lyrics actually! It makes me very happy! Fantastic work Iceland, awesome music and very nice voices!! Hope the best for the next year! :)
People are getting dumber and dumber in music taste, they voted other boring and UNORIGINAL songs, all the songs were so boring and were all kinda the same : hot chicks, cool backgrounds and stupid lyrics that don't mean anything...that is so sad...this song deserves better :)
This song is just not good for Eurovision... It's MUCH BETTER than Eurovision crap! I'm surprised someone still sends really great songs to that European circus, and even more surprised that those good songs never get into top 5. Shame on you, Euroderision!
scandalous result at the contest. Best song by far, should have won easily. Unbelievable how a nation of just around 300.000 people can put out a whole bunch of great singers. Keep doing your thing - we like your mentality iceland. Anything you do, you do it with such a great effort and passion. Big love from Germany for your musicians and your hanballplayers.
One of my favourite songs from last nights Eurovision! Visited Iceland in October last year and I have so much love for this place and the people in it <3
@mistszu19 oh you're fucking right; people nowadays don't know anything about good music. It's a pity. And I'm from Spain... our song was a fucking shit
One of the best songs this year... really happy song.. Iceland BRAVO! The best about this band is that u can see how much they love that they can sing :))))
when will all these Europeans countries stop voting on basis of geographical and political reasons, and instead vote for the quality of the performances? Iceland is the winner in my heart !
Not exactly original but better than most of the others: this song could have been in the top three twenty or more years ago.
At least it's got a tune, unlike most of the din from those charmless cretins wearing kitsch costumes who just look in each others' mirrors when it comes to the vote.
Remember Sjonni died a few weeks before ESC..... listen to the lyrics. Now that you know that it has a whole different meaning
