yay got what i wanted, Greta & co to the final andthen any of the others was fine, then the wildcard im so happy for the very Icelandic version of Swedens MF 2009 entry Har For Min Sljav :) lovin it :) should be a very tight final, i think it will be any of Regina, Gretar&Jonsi or Gretar,Heida&Gudrun :D

It's ok with me regarding Greta qualifying.It was predictable anyway...Magni or Mundu Eftir mer , FTW ! PS : I really miss Rytingur and Augun þín from the Final :(
Whooo Rosa got the wildcard!
Oh and Rosa got the wildcard :D !! Now I am rooting for both Regina and Rosa in the final ! Greta's votes are most likely split now so another winner can emerge..Still hope in Iceland..!
Pfff... won't be voting for Iceland in May...
#2 . A well deserved qualifier.Should be Top 2 in Icelandic Final imo !
Yes Greta is in :) :) ! I think we are in for surprises in the Icelandic nf..!
Oh No!Greta is in the final with 2 songs! :(
Magni is in.That was to be expected.
hope for song number 2
Songs #4 and (especially) #5 are hot favourites for me! Although I don't have high hopes for #5, I'm afraid it may end up like Anna Hlín in 2010, never got over that one...
For me it's songs 2 and 3. Has Selma had Botox?
honestly, i only full like 1 entry in this mix, and thats Greta Salóme, Heiða and Guðrún Árný - Aldrei sleppir mér, hopefully they will be making the final, and any of the other 4 can go with them, there are two rockish entries, a decent ballad then a funky dancing grampa n the mix, so iceland take your pick of the other four to accompany Aldrei Sleppir mer to the final :) after loosing Minni-oh & Rikke Normann in norway tonight (even though i was in love with 5 entries so i was bound to loose atleast 2 tonight) and the travesty rigging and pathetic jury voting in hungary, i need a nice result from you tonight :) OMG ITS SELMA WOOOP WOOOP! shes looking fab :D
Magni has not even qualified yet..! Anyway I believe that after Greta & Jonsi, Regina has the best chance to win so if turns turn out like I described them in the semi it will work in a beneficial way for "Hjartað Brennur".
She won't win anyway IMO.If it's not Greta&Jonsi,then it will be Magni or Blur Opal IMO.
* overrated duet (gosh too many mistakes tonight..!)
evil ? lol dimitris, that's cruel..! But it is the best chance I got for my favourite to win over the overrated IMO duo of Greta and Jonsi.. :) Regina can do it if that "threat" is reduced..
Best performances for me: Song#2.Magni Ásgeirsson - Hugarró, Song#4 Svenni Þór - Augun þín
JMAMG, That's evil!Even if "Mundu eftir mer" doesn't win,Regina won't win anyway.
This semi was great too, but c'mon: how can be song #1 a hot favorite? "Eilíf ást" is horrible, probably the worst song of Söngvakeppni this year.
And overall I hope Mundu eftir mer is winning the selection process and gets the ticket to Baku.
Magni and Svenni performed the best songs tonight imo !
* will be reduced and Regina takes the ticket to Baku
Great semifinal as well and I hope that songs 3 and 5 are qualifying.
Magni Ásgeirsson Hugarró was a great performance. hope it passes through
oh my god the first he is terrible and i noticed he is concidered something big in iceland!! i hope they dont pick him up! GRETA AND HER LADIES TO ESC
I would like to see in the final : Iris and Svenni but instead of Svenni I hope it will be Greta so that the chances for Mundu Eftir Mer to win to be reduced and Regina take the ticket to Baku :D !
