passionpopIceland is good at being the bridesmaid or the wooden spooners. Though they have competed in all but 2 years since 1986, their best effort has been second in 1999 and 2009.
This year, the 2009 second place getter was overlooked in favour of 'Coming Home', an emotional choice of song seeing the song writer and original singer of 'coming home' passed away of a heart attack (reported as natural causes) in January.
I am so sorry Iceland, but this is a big steaming pile of poo. All they need is Charlie Chaplin to perform a comical dance to make this complete. if this qualifies from the semi, I will be amazed, though it is up against Portugal so it might be a chance....
If they stripped this back and removed the music and exchanged it with something else, ANYTHING ELSE, then this song would be less of a joke. I wanted to like this song. I wanted to love Iceland, but I cant. the less said about this song the better
to get me away from the hoedown... thats what it sounds like at the start, a call to a hoe down... anyway, lets go to 1987, when things were better than this... and before Iceland discovered hairspray.
