Sjonni Brink's friends - Aftur heim (Eurovision 2011 Iceland)

[tHen135]

All this time I've heard that swedish is the most musical of the scandinavian languages; but I beg to differ.

so soothing and awesome, I <3 icelandic

[CallofdutyISL]

ísland er ekki lítið land það er stórasta land í heimi!

Áfram Ísland!

[meraba91]

BRAVO ISLANDE 12 POINTS DE FRANCE

[Pebbzor]

Þetta var besta söng söngvakeppninnar! (frá svíþjóð)

[alexross8]

The story of Icelandic:

A viking's tongue's was bitten , and it swelled, which made the "th" sound.

His kids spoke like that, because they wanted to be like their father.

Everyone else caught on.

[eggielove]

129 manns vilja ekki koma aftur heim :(

[julizwiebel]

The icelandic version is much better than the english. Lot's of people think, the best language to sing is Italian but I think it is icelandic!

[BoundInHumanBones]

verry nice song, and I LOVE those Iceland names :'D <33

[snail007y069]

Estoy enamorado del segundo que canta, es tan mimosín... Lo adoro, y me encanta que cante en islandés más que en inglés. Esta canción mucho m´´as bonita en Islandés.

I think this was a great Song for the ESC!!! Its a shame that you didn´t make a better place on our list you were on the top. I think Iceland would deserve a top 5 position. Sjonni would be proud of you. Hope next year you will sent such an great entry again Iceland. We love you. Best wishes from your friends in Germany

[sjheiss]

A beautiful song! If it were to somehow win, it would deserve it. It's too bad they're not singing it in Icelandic for the actual performance today though. :(

[Feuerbach92]

Congratulation for the Final Iceland!!!

[JocaBrate94]

[Tanhuaivo]

This is great hangover music

[TheSancisHaa]

i just love this song. Its awesome that u made it to the final :())

[RatFerret97]

I'm from Sweden and I love icelandic! It's a very beautiful language :)

[Aersus]

Damn... I can't choose between English or Icelandic, I loved the song in English but I also like this version.

Those guys deserved to win. Even the singer died they made a great job and didn't give up =)

[ninni660]

@RatFerret97 i'm from denmark, and I think the same :)

[THEKING6174]

PLSSSSSSSSSSS VOTE FOR MALTA 12 POINTS - ONE LIFE :))

[Amphibiot]

They'll get my vote, that's for sure.

[Amlivado]

Oh thats amazing. Really!!! I really like the arrangement on the stage :-) Do they sing in their native language or in English? I am not sure. This version would be much better =) Greetings from Germany!

[johannalaforge]

126 people are obviously not listening to the same song as I am.

It's absolutely lovely! Expect a lot of points from Sweden <3

[petitprince2k]

12 points from Italy! Great!

[FrozenCellophane]

I wish they would sing the Icelandic version at the ESC! The song sounds just so cool in Icelandic! What a beautiful language. ♥

12 points from Germany! :D

[sffilk]

Douze point from the United States.

[georgsson7]

[VOTEFORPORTUGAL]

Everyday is workers day. Sing out loud for a Europe of citizens. On 10th May, VOTE FOR PORTUGAL!

[Nawratil2]

OMG I feel like coming home! Good luck for Iceland! Not only for the song contest...

[MusicStarz]

:{ i don't like coming home. This was soooo much better. :{

Byebye Iceland :{

[naaw88]

This song has already been in eurovison 2001 by denmark!!! Copycat warning!!!!



[icelandicsmurf]

@naaw88 haha what ? sounds not nearly as denmark 2001, that is just imagine in u..

[TOASCHER]

I like this song - it isn't "Mainstream" like all the other ones at ESC 2011

[Aamandaak]

it sounds like denmark 2001

[VOTEFORPORTUGAL]

When, all over the world, the economic, financial and social crises take control of our lives, it’s time to raise our voices and contribute to the change.

The “Homens da Luta” (“Men of the Struggle”), from Portugal, are going to sing "A Luta é Alegria" ("The struggle is joy" in to the Eurovision stage. Sing with them against the crisis. VOTE FOR PORTUGAL! USE MUSIC TO PROTEST!

[polishlover83]

@VOTEFORPORTUGAL

yes, lets sing the portuguese song to kiss ass to the crisis

[OITFTT]

@VOTEFORPORTUGAL You realize Iceland is worse off than portugal right?

[waidalithuania]

I'm totally addicted to this song!!! I love it since I've heard it for first time!!! My 2nd favorite this year, I'll vote for Iceland in the 1st semi final!!! The best Icelandic entry in ESC EVER!!!

Greetings from Lithuania!!!

[TheNightingaleMaster]

Yohanna, Erna Hrönn or Jógvan Hansen were the best options Iceland had this year... Even Magni could've been a nice choice. But THIS! Nul points for sure, and I hope you learn your lesson, Iceland!

[ver12]

@TheNightingaleMaster dont disrespect this song you shithead..

[TheNightingaleMaster]

You can't be serious, Iceland! The 3rd Icelandic Eurovision entry I completely HATE (as well as 1988 and 1996)! Even Silvia Night was a lot better than this, because she didn't have to die in order to win the NF. There's nothing worse than these kind of pity votes. And Sigurjón Brink wasn't great stuff anyway, how many NFs did he lose?...

And by the way, Matthías Matthíasson shouldn't have been allowed to perform in two separate acts... He sings like a dying dog anyway.

[HugrunL95]

@TheNightingaleMaster Don't you know the story behind this song? clearly not!!!!! Sjonni Brink was going to sing this song, he wrote it with his wife. But few days before the competition he died from a stroke. So his friends sang it for him.

[TheNightingaleMaster]

@HugrunL95 Of course I know the story behind the song. It's just not right to vote for a song only because it has a tragic story. It that was the case, all potential ESC artists should suddenly die a few days before they compete in order to fight for sympathy vote. And then we wouldn't have a song contest, we would get something horrible instead.

[bowtown]

@TheNightingaleMaster think you need to get out a bit more! All this energy because you don't like the song? Come on, its only a song contest?

[MrArekusa]

@TheNightingaleMaster Seriously? You act as if Icelanders PLANNED his death to win Eurovision. It doesn't really change any Icelander's life if they win Eurovision or not, and they realise that. The only reason we sent this into the competition is A) it's a nice song and B) it's a tribute to Sjonni.

If you think it's trying to earn sympathy votes... ugh. Pessimist, aren't you? I find it quite disrespectful to Sjonni's name that you even suggest that.

[MrArekusa]

@TheNightingaleMaster Plus Johanna's song is a nice song, but it's painfully similar to her last one, only not as good. It's quite a generic song, look at the songs performed in the semi-finals this evening, she wouldn't have stood out. But Sjonni's Friend's song is a professional and unique song, well performed and well structured.

Don't get me wrong, I like Johanna but this wouldn't have excelled.

[Janosch261279]

i think that is a song to win the eurovision. It is a original and interesting. Good Luck from Germany

[Widukind75]

absolutely great song and so diffrent!!!

I hope he will come into the final and makes a good place

best wishes from Germany

[Lanverck]

This is a fucking shame... Just because a guy died, they gave to them the place which belongs to Yohanna... Yohanna should win, Yohanna should go in Germany... Not that stupid tribute !

[HugrunL95]

@Lanverck Yohanna can come back next year Sjonni Bink can't!!!

[bowtown]

@Lanverck why take this all so seriously - its a song and who gives a toss if it wins or does not? Its a tribute by his friends so you can roll out the names of all the better songs (big yawn) that should have represented Iceland, but it makes no difference.

[Luiginnn]

this song sounds better in English

[meraba91]

@Luiginnn NO IN ISLAND LANGUAGE IT S BETTER

[Luiginnn]

@meraba91 its not

[cara2003]

Super! Pity that in Eurovision it will be sang in English... (Do not mistake, I myself from Russia) But anyway I like it veeeery much!

[greeenrain]

Iceland Iceland Iceland... Did you really change this to English??? REALLY?? WHYYYYY?????

[stokke1900]

Kjæmpe bra,tolv points fra Polen

[lincsposter]

OMG! To be honest the lead singer looks like Billy Bunter, and the song sounds like a reject Aker Bilk song from the 1960s.Sadly Iceland will not win with this song! Iceland have so much talent, why did they enter this noise?

[lol9392]

hi, i'm from iceland, i really like this song, but i think the only reason why this won is because the creator of the song died, but it's still a cool song.

[MrEurovisionSong2011]

YOHANNA!!!

[jellozubmarine]

i think this song is great, im realy proud of it :) I also think that Yohanna wasnt necciserily better, and i ALSO think that Eurovision is getting to much ''shake your booty'' and all about the stage, instaid of the song and the singing : / But there are great song never the less.

[VASZJA]

IThis song reminds me a little bit of Flowers on the floor from The Statler Brothers but anyway I love it.

[Dschland92]

A very special Song but great

If you want to make a good position on the ESC you have to be diffrent and this entry is diffrent congrats to that

He is got a very good singer with a special voice!!!

Iceland is a beautiful country with its landscape the vulcanoes and geyser´s

and Reykjavik a beautiful city

It would be great to have the ESC in Iceland but I think the chances for winning were better with Yohanna

Nevertheless a great entry Iceland

Good luck from Germany

[daneeh]

This reminds me of Iceland 1988, Socrates. So, I think it's a little bit old fashioned for 2011. It should have been Yohanna. What a shame :((

get this, if u resend yohanna to eurovision this soon with a bad song the risk is that she will end up on a bad place top 20 and she will be so upset that she will never enter eurovision again cuz she feel bad !! thats why u should send entries like this in between and w8 with her comeback!
