I am not that possitive about Jónsi. I think his song was terribly boring!

Iceland should definately make it to the final this year...
SO UNFAIR RESULTS...
Birgitta (she deserved if not win,at least top 5)
Jonsi(deserved much better than the bottom 5...)
SELMA (OMG SHE DESERVED TO WIN)
SILVIA NIGHT(SHE DESERVED TOP 5)
EIRIKUK HAUKSSON (HE DESERVED TOP 5 WITH THIS WONDERFUL BALLAD!!!)

And this year Euroband deserve top 5 and I would be so happy if Iceland could be the winner... :)

@ Molly Parton, and let's not mention how disappointing Anna Vissi's result must have been for Valentina...

I am very interested in the English version of Regina's song in the national selection of 2006, "By your side". That song was amazing. "This is my life" is very overrated by Eurovisionfans, in my opinion!


Molly Parton [29330]

This Hero character is not as annoying as that Valentina who kept on about Anna Vissi every 10 seconds a couple of years ago, but he's getting there slowly.

Many 'heroes' were shot in the head while fighting, and they didn't even notice it! :P

Shame that Iceland won last night at the retro bar thing in London

I just hope that the trend doesn't continue, and for once they have actually predicted the winner.

It´s mp3's but it sounds very good. The new versions are great, in my opinion A ba ni bi, Dont leave without me and In my dreams are best of the cover versions.

This song will definitely get Iceland to the Finals, for the first time since 2004.

And in the finals it deserves at least a top 5 placing, or then to WIN!

To Eurovisin Hey and future reactions to Hero?Zing?Night of musical comedy....

1 advise, just ignore IT, I learned my lesson. The more you react to IT, the worse it becomes. IT is a little child withy at least 7 different profiles which IT uses just to state IT's own nonsense and drive everyone on the wall. Just just ignore it, I know it can be tempting but better not to....

Greetings Marc

I think the winner will come from the following countries : Russia, Serbia, Ukrain, Armenia... What do you guys think ?
And no these are not my favorites, but nowadays there are more reasons why certain countries get top positions.

If I would follow my favorites, my top 5 would be : Belgium, France, Portugal, Slovenia and Serbia
