I didn't like this final lineup at all. Heiðrún Anna had a dreamy song that was right up my alley, although it didn't translate to the stage as well as I'd hoped. Blankiflúr was also decent. Without them advancing, there was literally nothing for me in this final.
I still hold Je Ne Sais Quoi very close to my heart. One of the all time schlager greats. Hera's Björk's song this year though was actually dead last in my initial ranking. It's so nondescript and a waste of a fabulous voice. The bit during the performance where it goes slow motion and Hera turns back and holds up her bed sheet, that's a moment. I kind of like the staging I guess and of course, she sells it. Looking for positives and there are some. She's too camp and charming for me to hate on. I feel almost guilty for not being into her entry.
4 points for the song and an extra point for the vision of @theCONWEL listening to Scared of Heights in Sainsbury's, slow motion twirling through each aisle, especially we can hope during the trip through the frozen section. I'm afraid the only way this points I'm handing over is ever going to shoot up though is if we receive video evidence of CONWEL's Sainsbury's visits that are supposedly soundtracked to Hera Björk. Get on it.
Bashar also would have been a 5 too. I find him cute but the song was bang in the middle of the road, just a smidge better than Hera's offering. She brings the vocals though.

Well Iceland could have avoided all of this bullshit if they had just LISTENED TO ME and made it CeaseTone vs Maiaa, aka the two best songs in English aka the two songs that actually WOULD have qualified and gotten a top 10 in Sweden with the right support.
AND I'M NOT LETTING IT GO EITHER!!!!! I CARE AND SO DOES MAUVE AND WE MATTER OKAY, EVEN IF IT'S ONLY US TWO ON AN ISLAND WITH THIS #RIDEORDIE OPINION OKAY!!!!!
(for the danes that don't get humour out there: i am not "resentful" but just really, really, really sarcastic and funny. you should try that too sometime ^__^)

Good, semi 1 was stacked already, no more potential qualifiers were needed. I didn't like neither Bashar's not Hera's songs so props to Iceland for picking the one that's dead in the water.
Getting proposed to on the escunited forum in the Iceland-thread was not on my 2024 bingo card

No we see if Hera goes to Eurovision or if this was a disguised internal selection for Bashar or withdraw. The guidelines stated the winner of Songvakeppnin this year isn't necessarily going to Eurovision. We'll have to wait. Not a fan of her song though. A shame Sigga Ozk had no chance. Hera and Vaeb were my least favorite songs of the final. Sadly the best song was eliminated in the semifinals.

Me moving closer to the Fjords somehow was... xD
Haha welcome to the land of fjords! But I would probably be a bit cautious with moving to say Geiranger. Watch the movie "Bølgen" for context

So true. With a song in the vein of Take me to church he could have been a contender
