That choir bit is actually 1000 fans (including me) who sang the 7 16-bar parts and sent them to Daði by e-mail, so he could build a soundscape and we somehow feel all so connected and protective of the song. 10 Years FTW!!
@@natasha5306 This was such an interesting tidbit when I first heard it, but I found this is their second child. For some reason I was like, "Oh, well." Like a second child is not as good? Anyway, this was my favorite band this year, and I now own a good portion of Dadi's music as well because of it. So good.
This was a completely live performance with all live instruments and vocals. I don't think there really was any effect on Daði's voice. He has a very unique voice with interesting resonance and overtones
She didn't realize throughout the video that there were back vocals and they were women (she kept saying that woman voice was prerecorded probably). When they were editing the video (i guess they had 3 takes - it was saying in the documentary ) maybe they improved some parts, but he is in any case still awesome.
Ide say he ads the tiniest bit of reverb in post for some of his older songs but mostly I don’t think he edits his voice much, just found him a year ago lol his music has helped me understand Icelandic more easily
The music is all Daði. Gagnamagnið is basically a stage act created for Eurovision. It's his wife (lady with instrument on left) his sister (vocalist on right). And some friends. One guy was chosen just because he was funny. I love it, but if you want to hear some more good music, look for Daði Freyr.
Love it! The two backing singers are his sister and a friend. The “choir” was made from recordings of around 1000 of his fans who submitted their own recordings which Dadi mixed into a backing track. Genius!
I honestly love this song. A lot of people say that it's too similar to the one last year but thats the genre. You can't expect them to do something completely out of the box. Yes, you are missing the surpise element but that was to be expected. Love the lyrics and family values and it's just so much fun! The dance and outfits are exciting. Completely agree with you. They totally deserve to get a high place in this competition.
the ending is actually like that because they still had 10 seconds left of the 3 minutes they´re aloud to have on the ESC, but the song was over so they wanted to so something fun 😍
I really love this song. I love the fact that it's about his wife. Love songs are too often about someone they just met, we need more songs that like this one that celebrate the one who choose to share our life with
If last year had never happened... THIS SONG would be one of the favourites. You can’t top a masterpiece. So stop comparing it to last year. It’s an incredible song.
I love your videos!! It's SO refreshing to watch somebody who's honest but doesn't tear people to shreds! Please keep making content I honestly love your video! ❤
I love this song, the dance moves and their costumes, if they start selling the sweaters I’d buy one. Since seeing them on Eurovision I’ve become a big fan.
Last week he did a live stream, he was explaining his video from 10 yrs. He is so funny and witty and very kind and sweet. I asked him to sing a capella because I just love his deep voice and he did a little funny opera thingy not serious at all. 😁 Not showing off. He's a winner already!
@@HonestVocalCoach I can't find the video but I liked it and I still can watch it maybe I can send it idk got to find out how that works or maybe you found it already, it is called dadi freyr talks. I like the way you enthousiastic comment about a song. Makes me happy we need more folks like you and dadi! 👍
They totally got me of guard this year. I missed Eurovision 2020 totaly so i dindtn know them from there entry there. The whole Eurovisioncontest was running on my TV in the background while i was playing some games on PC, but as they start there performance i paused the game and they flashed me. They where my winner for 2021 and iam a fan of dadis music after that Eurovision. I bindged every bit of RUclips performances after that whit lot of joy.
Very cool vibe to this song. Couldn’t agree more, it’s fun to watch. I think he lives in Berlin, he seems super familiar Btw, give the Israeli revamp a listen, I think you’ll really appreciate the change and the vocals in the end
I accidentally discovered Dadi Freyr about a month ago. Turns out there's a history with Iceland and Eurovision. Apparently, they've (Iceland, not Dadi) entered every year since its inception, but have never won (they've come in second a time or two). This year, Dadi Freyr is set to take the gold, but one of their band mates came down with COVID so now they'll have to enter in a pre-recorded song for the next segment, I believe. I too believe Dadi and Gagnamagnid deserve to win and I pray they'll be the first to take home the gold for Iceland.
I kept hearing them on the radio during the first lockdown in Belgium. They would have easily gotten Belgiums 12 points last year with Think About Things. I do really like 10 years too, but TAT was just slightly better. Either way I'm rooting for them.
This year there are very good songs but for me the best is 10 years!! Dadi's voice is wonderful, the lyrics are beautiful and it is very fun. Love it. Greetings from Costa Rica! 🇨🇷
Certainly my favourite too. It seems simple but many complex layers, plus I love the off beat feel of parts. I've been learning the "flipper dance" for three weeks ! My other fav, Croatia reminds me of a S.A.W Kylie track. All best --
I like them and their stage humor a lot 😄 Georgina, would you ever consider Italy's Eurovision entry, Måneskin with Fuori di testa, for one of you videos? I would be interested in hearing your comments 😊🇮🇹

Where did you get the information? Sad that I missed this great idea.
@@22centsworth Daði posted an invitation for the choral part on his twitter account a few months back.
Oh, for real??? That's amazing!
That is amazing!
So basically the whole Icelandic population?
Honestly BBC get her on our professional jury at Eurovision 😍
She’s already given her opinions to songs so she wouldn’t be able to do it
She needs to be there for at least our future Nfs but I don't wanna lose her opinions before the finals lol
Definitely her ears are healthy like ours loool
That would be so cool! Her and James Newman 😂😍
This absolutely must happen!
The woman you said was having fun was actually the singer's wife, whom the song is also directed at!
Oh I didn't know that! How cool!
And she's pregnant, hence the skirt instead of the trousers at the show.

I put my headphones on, and I can hear it. I think it's just his voice one octave or two up and volume down. It could be a live effect.
@@meri9861the backing singers are his sister and a friend. The dancers with the “instruments” are his wife and two friends from high school.
Daði is one of the most adorable contestants this year. How can not love him? And your enthusiastic reaction was adorable as well.
What I was going to say! I'm now following him on RUclips and got him on my spotify 💙
Think About Things is one of my favourite Eurovision songs. It makes me smile every time I hear it. Love this one too.
This song has grown on me so much. It gets better with every listen. Would not be surprised to see it top 10 in the final.
I predict top five, or even in the top three
i hope it wins honestly it definitely has a chance!
It came 4th
soooo i can go 'How does it keep getting better?' XD
Same here. This and the Italian number, although very different, are growing on me so much!
Love it! The two backing singers are his sister and a friend. The “choir” was made from recordings of around 1000 of his fans who submitted their own recordings which Dadi mixed into a backing track. Genius!
I'm one of the people in the choir!!
There were female vocals live on the right side of the screen. Also, that's just how Dadi's voice sounds, it's unbelievable. But great critique!

They didn’t, but should have won. Musically far better than most, maybe all, other song in the 2021 ESC. This is a song never grow tired of.
No, you don´t get tired of it - it keeps getting better! :P
@@asbisi 🎶How does it keep getting better?🎶
Hey babes, the female harmonies are coming from the female back up vocalists on stage left! The blue haired gal, and Dadi's little sister.
Wait that's this little sister I didnt know
@@rubythornes8824 and the other lady with the glasses is his wife, whom the song is about.

Oh I never noticed that before (and I have played it so many times). It's certainly a genius ending.
I love this song! It such a cute message. No need to create a hyper sexualised story. Just a sweet lovely song.
I really love this song. I love the fact that it's about his wife. Love songs are too often about someone they just met, we need more songs that like this one that celebrate the one who choose to share our life with
There's something positively infectious about this lady's personality.
If last year had never happened... THIS SONG would be one of the favourites.
You can’t top a masterpiece. So stop comparing it to last year. It’s an incredible song.
Their song last year was doing well in the music charts as well.
Your reaction at 2:31 is the same as mine when I hear him sing that low part! I love it!
How does it keep getting better?! This song is another ear worm from Daði, love love love it!💚
The female backing singers are right next to him, it’s not prerecorded
Fun, catchy, creative, different. Love the bass line; Very good vocals from tone to range. It has the hooks I look for in the melody and the harmony.
You are adorable😍
I can't wait for your reaction to Stefania Last dance 🇬🇷
Thank you!! 😊
Your absolute joy at watching this - love it!! Your face completely lights up so many times. I swear they were robbed of the win!!
Totally agree with the vocal coach.
By the way, these videos and Georgina are so much fun to watch and listen to. Thumbs up!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Dadi has been producing music since 2014! He's a musical genius!! He's more than just a singer!
This is a great song indeed! And a brilliant version of it
I thought so too!
So simple, yet so awesome
I love your videos!! It's SO refreshing to watch somebody who's honest but doesn't tear people to shreds! Please keep making content I honestly love your video! ❤
It was the best
Two years after, and I still love this guy. The best Eurovision entry ever.
I love this song, the dance moves and their costumes, if they start selling the sweaters I’d buy one. Since seeing them on Eurovision I’ve become a big fan.
old comment, I know, but they have sweaters now :D the artist is Daði Freyr or Dadi Freyr
You are just the sweetest human ever! Loved the video :)
So damn funky and tight!! Everything about this is just PHENOMENAL 🕺💃🥰🇮🇸
i love this gurl

I loooove Iceland and this singer and the song,just everything about it🥰
Everything about it.... I like👍
Should have won last year, should win this year 🥰
So excited for you to react to Greece! 😍
Love your reactions, you are great! Greetings from Serbia 🌄🧡🎶
Liked it too, one of the best this year, in my opinion.
The ending is an homage to "Think about things"...

I'm obsessed with this song. So groovy I break out in dance every time! 🤣
Love you, you are so professional and straight wright.
i really cheer for iceland this year they have tried for so many years and as i understand eurovison is very important for them up there.
Love it!
Me too!
This song should have won....brilliant !
Listen to his covers of Lil Nas X, Sting, Billie Eilish and Cher. There you hear how good a singer he is.
And dont forget the "Ententanz"
Yes, I've just been doing this, I have to say I was blown away. I even shed a tear at the Sting cover. This guy is a bloody genius!
What about the Arcade cover, it's amazing
He’s announced he is doing new instruments and new costumes for the staging watch this space this truly could be Iceland’s year
I had the same reaction as you did when he used his lower register LOL
Loved your reaction overall 🙂
I really enjoyed you having so much fun and such a bright smile 😂
The person at the end is really like "I can do it" "The confetti cannon is about to burst" 😂😂😂
You are the best coach voice I liked very much yo Chanel, Billons like 👍🏽 💕👍🏽kind regards from Ecuador 🇪🇨
You are an absolute delight to watch, I was grinning the whole time!!!
They should have won in my opinion.
Very cool vibe to this song. Couldn’t agree more, it’s fun to watch. I think he lives in Berlin, he seems super familiar
Btw, give the Israeli revamp a listen, I think you’ll really appreciate the change and the vocals in the end
This one was live .)
I just discovered your channel and I love it! Yes, Daði is so different and good!! Love it.
I'm so into Eurovision! Thank you Georgina for all these amazing reacts!!
Love you Georgina!
Thanks for the support.X
2:29 the deep bit ❤
I loved them... think they are the winners for me
Iceland have been great since HATARI. Daði og Gagnamagnið are the bomb!
Love Dadi Freyr, great music, great song, great dance routine what's not to like
I agree and say YES!!! For me the real winner of this year's ESC!!!
I love them sooo much!
Love this one so much!!
Best song ever
Such a great song! 12 points from Portugal!
Great review ⭐️
Thank you!!
This is just awesome
I love this one.
Very funny reaction 🤣🤣 and totally agree👍🏻👍🏻 I was waiting for the "deep voice" moment and you have not disappointed me 🤣🤣
OMG I love it so much!
must win absolute , one of my favorites

The way to help them is to vote for them. Shame about the COVID thing, at least EBU is allowing pre-recorded music.
Iceland: 12 points from Norway!
This year there are very good songs but for me the best is 10 years!! Dadi's voice is wonderful, the lyrics are beautiful and it is very fun. Love it. Greetings from Costa Rica! 🇨🇷
I love it brilliant song
Love it great song from the heart just fun.why haven't i heard it on the radio here yet, come on BBC,heart radio
My favorite song for this year
Hi. I love this song. Here from Brazil we are in Daði team in this Eurovision \0/
First ESC song I actually like, since... EVER!!!
I did prefer last years song but i love this too. And he is so charming it makes me happy
What if I hate Eurovision, but love this song, and now hate Eurovision even more because it didn't win?
Welcome to Eurovision :D I think that's how most fans get started 😉
I'm italian and I can't understand how is possible that this song didn't win Eurovison!
the music coming from the keyboards with sparkles remind me of the music in mario kart
I love this song ♡♡♡
They are winners. I know the didn't win the competition (4th place isn't bad) but they will go far I believe. Well done Iceland 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉🎊🥳
Certainly my favourite too. It seems simple but many complex layers, plus I love the off beat feel of parts. I've been learning the "flipper dance" for three weeks ! My other fav, Croatia reminds me of a S.A.W Kylie track. All best --
My Favourit! :D
Great dance tune.its a serious contender with driving keyboard rythems
Obvious qualifier & probably Top Ten. No more words needed.
I like them and their stage humor a lot 😄
Georgina, would you ever consider Italy's Eurovision entry, Måneskin with Fuori di testa, for one of you videos? I would be interested in hearing your comments 😊🇮🇹
I'm waiting for your reaction to Greece's entry!
🤩😍 fan from Iceland..xx
There is me doing the dance in the local hardware store when it was on the radio! People joined in!
Love you
Love it
Me too!
I love this song, it’s an absolute win
the 2 female singers of Gagnamagni every time she says there are no females on stage singing the harmonys: 0-0
wow, you are so sweet!
