Who is your chosen one? Is the ultimate winner emerging from semi-final 2? Please comment your thoughts below.
All of them are really, really boring. I almost fall asleep while playing them all. Is this supposed to be called music?
voted only for Silja Rós & Kjalar – “Ég styð þína braut”in my opinium also the best choice for liverpool,because more silent songs will be rare there.
if they can get the fairytale voices and the mystic mood of that studiosong 1:1 on the stage,the chances to win are very high.
🙂
The level is terrible either way. I want Iceland to do well but this is not the way
I have to agree with the majority in this case – Silja Ros & Kjalar, and Kristin! Ulfar is the back-up option. I’m hoping for a great show, and the stronger semi between the two.
Silja is the first pick for me – feels the most stage ready (can already visualise the camera shots). Then I honestly want to see Langi Seli & Skuggarnir join them – a bit of variety, and a song that makes me smile (even though I think it’d benefit from a revamp just to give it a liiiiittle bit of variety towards the end).
Silja Ros & Kjalar here for me, but the results of this poll suggest that I need to give Kristin some plays! Celebs absolutely need that wildcard
NONE! BRAGI need to win it! he is cute and he is the only one who can Q to the final!
his song is the worst song humanity has ever heard
I think Mama SC has claimed that title actually…
silja ros and kjalar are iceland’s only chance to qualify at the moment… but only with the icelandic version of their song! it just loses all of its charm in english. “together we grow” sounds like a fertilizers company’s slogan!
I didn’t follow this selection at all but Silja Rós & Kjalar’s song is really lovely. Hope it goes through 🙂
First !!!!
For me, top 2 :
. Silja Rós & Kjalar
. Kristìn Sesselja
Wildcard :
. Celebs OR Sigga Ozk
I very love Silja Ros & Kjalar, its very catchy at the end, sweet ballad & its very emotional, voices are very good also !
It’s my favorite for Iceland with Dilja & Kristin.
No one
