QUOTE(💯 @ Feb 6 2016, 08:58 PM)  this is LITERALLY the performances of heroes and euphoria with a "2 for 1" discount. beyond tragic. not to mention the song is average. SOD OFF. no one appreciates your music taste. you are only allowed here as a token representative to escape being sued for discrimination.

The screen is giving me more gothic Perrelli 'The Girl' teas but it's pretty obvious an attempt at recreating Loreen and Måns.

English versions of all the songs which are getting them are now out there. Baiscally the favourites are either Greta
or Alda Dis Both of them are very good but if they want to be competitive then they've got to pick Greta surely! |

I'm a big fan of them both too! I want Greta to win and even though she is favourite to win according to the odds, I'm thinking Alda is going to take it as her song is already a big radio hit apparently and she is last on in the running order while Greta is first (again!). Hopefully it will be these two in the superfinal although the Icelandic public have been oddly nearly perfect in their voting so far so I'm sure there's a mess-up to come!
Fun fact, one of the "support" members of Of Monsters and Men is on the 18 (!) person jury - I wonder if they will take Greta's Of Monsters and Men-esque song as a compliment or a rip-off!

TONIGHT'S NATIONAL FINAL...  ICELAND Söngvakeppnin 20th February 2016 Begins at 8pm in Iceland and the UK, 9pm in Central Europe The show is scheduled to last 2 hours 40 minutes Watch the selection on Eurovision.tv or via the official RÚV webcast Running Order Click ♫ to listen to the studio versions of each song! 01 | ♫ Greta Salóme Stefánsdóttir - Hear Them Calling 02 | ♫ Erna Hrönn Ólafsdóttir & Hjörtur Traustason - I Promised You Then 03 | ♫ Karlotta Sigurðardóttir - Eye Of The Storm 04 | ♫ Þórdís Birna Borgarsdóttir & Guðmundur Snorri Sigurðarson - Ready To Break Free 05 | ♫ Elísabet Ormslev - Á ný 06 | ♫ Alda Dís Arnardóttir - Now Voting The voting will consist of two rounds. The first round of voting will be 50% jury vote and 50% televote, with the jury vote being decided by 18 jurors who are split into 6 groups of 3 based on 6 different Icelandic regions. The top two entries following this first round of voting will then progress to a superfinal where the winner will be decided by 100% televoting. Potential Winners? At the time of writing, Betfair has Alda Dís as 4/5 favourite with second favourite Greta Salóme not too far behind on odds of 6/5. Betsson is in agreement with Alda as slight favourite as her song is already a big radio hit in Iceland. Both Betfair and Betsson seem to believe it is a clear race between these two, Betsson has Karlotta third favourite on 9/1 while Betfair have gone for an act that hasn't even made the final so a bit of a mistake there! Guest Performers As part of the 30th anniversary celebrations, 1986 Eurovision winner Sandra Kim and 2012 Eurovision winner Loreen will be guest performers on tonight's show. Also, past Icelandic Eurovision entrants will be performing a medley of previous Icelandic entries. Further details available at ESC Today |

I think I'm going to predict an Elisabet/Alda superfinal, but Greta really deserves to be there!

After a "WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE" voting scoreboard, we have seemingly ended up with a superfinal of Alda and Greta, Alda won the first round just - but Fridrik did last year and Maria won in the end so...

Greta must win, the song has so much more going for it compared to the dullness of Alda.

Icelandic host to Loreen: What do we have to do to fucking win this shit?
Loreen: The secret is not to give a fuck about the contest. Amazing. |

Final version. Easily the best pop song we've got this year at Eurovision, this must surely be a contender or thereabouts in May. |

I'm liking the added drama they've put into that. Suspect I'll be disappointed but this is surely in with a shout (it's jury bait at an absolute minimum).

Turns out that wasn't quite the final version as they've re-uploaded it again today and it has the addition of a few "Hey!" shouts during the instrumentals and a couple of other minor differences on top of what already was a good revamp as we saw yesterday - this really is amazing now!
