March 11, 20178 yr Author Paper landslided the round 1 televote there, almost double Dathi's votes - a record for first round votes as well apparently under the current system. However, Maria and Greta both lost round 1 to their fellow superfinalist and turned it around in round 2, although both Maria and Greta were only 1,000 or less behind whereas Dathi is 20,000 behind. Votes get wiped though so who knows? Svala fans, please don't get complacent!
March 11, 20178 yr Author She's done it loves! I would've preferred Hypnotised but Svala is an amazing entry nevertheless. 80s inspired synthpop the tropical house of Eurovision it seems with Belgium, Azerbaijan and Iceland all taking (very) slight influences!
March 11, 20178 yr WHAT AN ENTRY *.* If this doesn't bring Iceland back to the final then I'm at a loss.
March 12, 20178 yr This is amazing. Shouldn't have expected anything less as I absolutely ADORE Steed Lord.
March 12, 20178 yr hoped for the best, now I wonder if this can qualify... seems like the first entry from Iceland in recent years that left me disappointed a lot.
March 12, 20178 yr This is bloody incredible, it's challenging Blance and Anja to be my favourite entry of this year!
March 12, 20178 yr Erm it would be quite ridiculous if this didn't qualify. The best Icelandic entry ever realness.
March 13, 20178 yr Author hrk0I-CRWm0 Who knew Svala was marketed as a Christina/Britney hybrid back in 2001, this apparently got airplay on MTV USA and UK and charted top 40 in the US. Her 6 album contract with Capitol was the biggest ever for an Icelandic artist.
