0 pts. It deserved what it got. Utterly horrendous and old-fashioned track.
No, it shouldn't have qualified over any other country.

On paper, Iceland is my favourite country in Eurovision (1997 to 2018 when it comes to "points") but I haven't got another favourite entry since 2012, tbh.
I can't believe they chose this snoozefest this year... Hope they will create some magic or at least, a casual bop, again next year

Well, this was among my personal flop 5 in 2018 and next to Hatari 2019 the entry from :is: I liked the least. (n)

The song was just so dull and sounded like a song from ESC 1988, and even back then it would have been dated. Ari may be a nice person, but on stage he just looked like someone who just had his confirmation in a church and accidentally got lost on the ESC stage. Since I didn´t like his voice either this three minutes felt more like three hours to me. The big fat :0: in the televote was a bit surprising to me, but not undeserved.

Since there was really nothing I liked about this entry I gave this a clear :0: as well!!

I feel terribly bad that Armenia put him behind Azerbaijan in the televote, therefore coming dead last in the Armenian televote
