This fucking broadcaster and country. First, they allow CeaseTone to Irglova himself to death with the best song in their selection. But
, because Sigga and Maiaa are still in, and Bashar could be good too. Right?
Then this week, they SUDDENLY change the running order to put Hera Björk last, so she and Bashar qualify and kill the second and third best song.
And granted Maiaa's styling was ALL WRONG but she had an excellent song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She should have been the second qualifier!!!!! Or at least the wildcard over Sigga who bless, is great but significantly worse in English!!!!
As far as Bashar is concerned - He could have been better but I like him, what's the fuss? Singing in Icelandic when you're not proficient is fucking hard and you need to concentrate on that and not, you know, the rest. He did okay given the circumstances. Fucking blame RÚV for insisting to go icelandic in the heats although
GREAT SONGS LIKE FLOW AND BREAK AWAY WERE WRITTEN FOR AND SOUND BETTER IN ENGLISH.
It's frustrating. This selection was GOOD and they ruined it with their draconian format. I hope the palestinian wins because no citizen from this country deserves representation this year after all this tomfoolery.
