"there's no musicality to those vocals" learning how to do that technique correctly takes years of practice and doing it wrong is going to fuck up your voice so badly you might need surgery and even then it's not guaranteed your voice is ever going to recover. Just because someone might not like something doesn't mean it isn't good or doesn't require talent and dedication.
@@roy.moreno I can never vote for a music which refers that the hate must prevail and Europe will crumble. And the "a web of lies will arise from the ashes united as one". It seems they are calling fascism and the nationalists to spread hate... For God sake!!! Is everyone crazy??? Even if it is a criticism and open eyes for Europe, I'm afraid that the people who like/ share/ spread this kind of ideology will see as power up... as calling for them to show their power... 😮😮😮😮😮
im from Iceland and I am so proud! 1999 we were in second place, 2009 also in second place. and now its 2019, and I feel that something special is going to happen! good things come in three and maybe we will win finally!
Personally I am *obsessed* with this entry, but I totally get where you are coming from. In the verses it definitely borders on being so aggressive that it's scary, but I feel the other vocal helps balance that out in the chorus. It's definitely a huge risk and very memorable
Reykjavik 2020. How is there no musicality in gutural voice? This is not my genre at all but I genuinely love this. And they're performers, characters. You gotta watch their interviews. I love Line but what Triana Park did at the Eurovision stage was kinda floaty and vocals weren't on point. It takes a lot of time to explode.
I totally disagree. The screaming vocals are what makes this song unique and it conveys a very powerful message of the current state of the European community. ESC is drenched in songs conveying peace and love while we all Europeans are witnessing a decay of the European Union i.e Brexit, ressurging nationalism, pending economic crisis with Deusche Bank, Italian banks etc. Ordinary people are getting fed up with the Breussel establishment where big business is intermingled with the non-elected politicians. The legitimacy for the European Union is decreasing each day passing according to major polls. In times where we have more crisis to come; impending climate crisis with millions of new climate refugees, rise of AI, automation of labour intensive work demands more fair cooperation between countries, not less. This song is more important than most think. Unless we reinvent European democracy now, *hatred will prevail, Europe will crumble*.
Just for your information, Eurovision has nothing to do with the EU, and Iceland is NOT part of the EU. Meaning, you are just trolling pretending to know something you have no clue about.
Those kids are artists, director, actors dancers, musicians, in theater, pop music, Hatari is their multimedia project, the BDSM fits perfectly for that. If you watch the studio version and their other songs and have subtitles on their videos you´ll see how the bdsm fits in with the lyrics.
You people are too scared at literally nothing lol I'd gladly invite Hatari and the lady from fusedmarc for a dinner party Iconic humans who can't even express their hatred or thrive revolution without being labeled as "scary"
I mean i think it's ok for people to be scared or put off, everyone has different taste. Also im sure Hatari kind of wants to make people feel scared or taken aback to get a reaction.
@@apmaps What Eurovision fans think at this stage doesn't matter. Most will see them all at the same time and I think Iceland is still a massive contender.
This is absolutely the best song this year not cheap pop song like 90% of this year we are really tired of that music style. This is fresh and nice. Their voices are so good live and growling should be more respectful from these people as normally everyone can sing but like this not so much and do it good. Eurovision is not pop competition it should celebrate diversity. But some people like you just don't wanna and a lot of people actually like this song.
it comes from lack of cultural understanding I think. I'm Aussie and pretty sure Iceland will get a lot of votes for this as we get it - it's brave and the overall performance and creativity is sublime
There is an immense amount of musicality and skill to the type of singing this is. Guttural voice is incredibly hard to do, takes a lot of skill and practice
I feel like people just can't look pass their costumes and look I'm not even into screamo and i love this song cause it's just really well done, the chorus takes me somewhere else. Also, can everyone stop comparing it to rock pls, this is industrial goth y'all, you either like it or you don't, but you not liking it does not mean it's bad ;)
To say that there is "no musicality" shows a blatant lack of respect for singing traditions from other cultures. Metal vocals have a very long history in the Nordic countries. Try to look outside of your cultural bias. And claiming your perspective is "objective" is naive af.
Usually not a fan of growling/metal. But this is giving me ALL the tingles, never thought an entry like this would be my Winner but for now it is by far! LOVE this song and performance.
@@aidarafsantos I think so, it's about the developmental state of Europe. Like how the right wing parties are gaining power and the refugee crisis is growing etc.
The first time I listened to it I was sure this was going to be my last place for the entire year. Then I listened to it after it won and it rose a little bit. And then I just kept on listening and now it’s my 4th :) this is the last type of music I’d ever think I’d enjoy but I just love it so much for some reason. However the fact that it seems to be a grower is worrisome for how it’ll do at the contest, but for now I’m just going to enjoy it!!
Portugal, Iceland and Australia are the three countries out of their comfort zone this year. Plus, they are all in the second half of semi one. I find it hard to predict how they will do in May. They are certainly standouts though.
The question of qualifying sometimes goes down to the hype an act can generate. Commentators can draw attention to specific acts, their backstories and can (in a way) make or break the act. And Hatari is already generating publicity all-around with their attire and weird attitude.
This guys are a really fatastic performers, BEAUTIFULL GUYS, amazing personalities and very kind guys... Thay are just amazing. EUROVISION 2019 WINNERS! They got it all to win.
Hey Alesia! I totally get where you are coming from on this. This is not my kinda of song at all. However, there is something about this that is special. It has taken me a few times to listen to get me there. I think there are too many safe songs this year that I can see this going far. Iceland have sent us a curve ball and we are trying to process it ha ha
Mark my words: Before the Eurovision 2019 is over, everybody will talk about 2 things ...HATARI and the voice (KATERINA DUSKA). No matter of the win or not ...this will be the topic!
Not necessarily my style of music, however the staging and performance stand out compared to most of the other entries so far. I like that they are different, bold, and not boring. This will bring some much needed excitement to the competition this year. I felt the same way about Netta last year and she won.
I'm not sure about Hatari winning the ESC, but considering the underwhelming semi-final they're in, I think this is going to be a walk in the park for them. And it's got the advantage of knowing how to be "authentically Icelandic" without playing to ethnic clichés, which is such a tremendous challenge for most Western countries in the show (who just revert to generic Anglo/Swedish/Schlager pop if everything else fails, and I _am_ looking at you, Norway). I mean, if you follow some of the Icelandic greats like Skálmöld, Sólstafir or Sigur Rós (oh my gosh, so much Jónsi Birgisson in the chorus), you could immediately guess where Hatari come from just from listening to them. So yeah, more power to them. Just stop comparing this to Conan Osíris, y'all. They're two entirely different concepts, each one great in its own way.
Once you get the fact the growling voice is singing "Hate will prevail" you know there isn't another way to sing that. The translation of the lyrics makes it even more interesting.
It's in my top 1! It's the only song I've got in my playlist from this year so far. Finally I can be proud of Iceland. We all didn't leave Iceland a choice to help and to heal last year so this year hate will prevail...
It's so good!! After a while I really started to groove to it and then that key change kicks in!!!!!!! Did you know that their biggest fanbase in Iceland is schoolkids?!
12 points from Norway (y) I really don't like this type of music at all, but this really fascinates me, and I can't stop listening to it. Especially the chorus (the high voices) is almost hypnotizing.
I like very very much this entry for many reasons: I like it because I love Scandinavia and Baltic countries, a like that industrial - metal - electro kind of genre, I love that dark verses, that scene and costumes. I love it because it's different and shocking. It's not boring, it's powerful!
The best song of all this year. Hatari is already getting noticed around the world for their look and their ideas. It's a compelling and fascinating three minutes which will ensure Reykjavik hosts Eurovision for the first time in 2020.
You were shook for 50% of the video, lmao Iceland needed this, they needed a risk, and this was the only song that stood out on their NF in some way. They are satirical, strong and off-kilter and the song just grows on you despite the crazy. This is last in the semi, or top 5, or anywhere in between, but whatever it is, Iceland needed to do this this year. Shake up the ranks and controvert. And no worries, everyone is like ???? at first, but fans some weeks later, trust me XD
When you understand with time that the "screaming" is melodic and purposely done juxtaposed with the angelic chorus to present both devil and angel in a person plus they are anti establishment, you begin to appreciate the greatness this song has.
this is the best but I think only the awakened get it ... it isn't a song for standard 'judging' using a programmed formula. I was shocked at first too but I'm addicted now - my number one for sure. These guys are authentic and on a mission and I'm behind them all the way
Portugal is a quality act. Nothing ever seen. Iceland is good but nothing original...we've seen this many times in other contexts...But people will vote for this. If it was something fair Portugal would win since is the best proposal this year. By far.
@@eddiemurphy21 "Nothing original... We've seen this many times in other contexts." No? Tell me where you've seen a song anything like Hatrið mun sigra in Eurovision before. And don't say Hard Rock Hallelujah because the message Hatari is portraying is absolutely nowhere in that song (not to mention it's metal, and this is industrial punk). Name me at least one instance of an entry where we saw anything like Hatrið mun sigra.
@@Alfred-F-Jones hard rock hallelluhaj. What you are asking me is this: " name me one thing that is going to happen if you die but don't tell me you are gonna stop living". You see? That is a fast food song, seen before in eurovision. Forget eurovision. These songs were seen before in many contexts. Rock, a mix between Marylin Manson and Lordi, eletronics, and that's it. I even like the sound of it, I would listen to it on the radio, but that's it. The point is: I've never knew about anything like Portugal's entry in any kind of context. Not in Eurovision, not anywhere else... so, I ask you now: name me a song like that in any context!? It's 100 per cent original, something never seen before and if eurovision was a fair thing, Portugal would win by far since it's the most original and the quality act of the show. There's not even a proposal comparable!...
Ok... 2nd place. As long as it doesn't win lol. BUT! Honestly, I'd LOVE to go to Iceland for Eurovision... Except for the fact that I'd prefer a warmer place lol.
@@AlesiaMichelle Alesia, but we should remember Iceland is quite expensive, especially if we talk Eurovision (a whole week experience), it's more expensive than Sweden.
@@AlesiaMichelle They're getting a huge buzz though. People like the song, myself included, but it also is waking up the closet freaks who won't admit they like it but will vote for it.
I think if people truly allow the darkness of this song to come through them, they'll feel alive.. I understand it's too much but the second I managed to do that, I embraced Hatari like never before and I definitely hope they win the whole thing!
I actually think this is going to do really well in Eurovision. Rock/metal genre is insanely popular in east Europe and sex is universal so... Yeah I can see this doing well haha.
I feel this maybe a Lordi esque year, or a Dima Bilan Year. A year that isnt so strong where the most different song wins for its difference (Lordi and Hatari) or a returnee that should have won the first time around with a weaker song. (Dima and Sergey)
@@thomassturley5183 Oh, ok. I just find his song too forced, too biased to show off, to impress, and to stand out. It doesn't happen naturally. There is more deliberation, intention, and calculation in the song than inspiration, emotion, and message. In my ears, it's fake and unoriginal, and juries will burry it.
About time for aggressive EBM/Digital Hardcore to step in to the Eurovision stage, the genre is about 30 years old already. I can draw parallels with "Minn Hinsti Dans", the Iceland entry of 1997. It is provocative and very in your face, my only criticism will go beyond the image and the song itself. Klemens (the one that sings the chorus) should train his live vocal technique, get some proper vocal coach, because at the moment it doesn't sound consistent and good.
It's interesting that in the battle of the weird you've come down on the side of Portugal. I think Iceland will have broader appeal. Portugal will do well with the juries but I think the televote will be dodgy as hell. Iceland will get a huge televote, and I think a respectable jury score. If people resonate with it, that could be the winner.
I can never vote for a music which refers that the hate must prevail and Europe will crumble. And the "a web of lies will arise from the ashes united as one". It seems they are calling fascism and the nationalists to spread hate... For God sake!!! Is everyone crazy??? Even if it is a criticism and open eyes for Europe, I'm afraid that the people who like/ share/ spread this kind of ideology will see as power up... as calling for them to show their power... 😮😮😮😮😮
Eurovision isn't about 'appeasing.' Hungary wasn't to this level last year in being 'unreachable' to some but it qualified all the same. This takes it to a new level, but that is FAR more likely to qualify than the run of the mill types.
@Alesia Michelle This song is basically what the inside of my head has been like for the past 2+ years, given all of what's been going on in the world. I have little hope for the future now. And “Hatrið mun sigra” is very much what I fear is coming. We should consider it a warning.
Many people think that Portugal and Iceland can annul one another because they are both different and are both in the second half of the first semifinal
Me neither, I am not letting 'Hatred' into my system, so it will not 'prevail'. It's like, now, that we don't have Maruv anymore, people have to love Hatari instead. Maruv's entry was so freaking good, not safe at all, but very clear in its irony. I know they are not comparable (accept for the 'not safe' quality), but I need something more - meaningful - in the artistry ... or how to put it
The message from Hatari should be seen as a warning, that hate will prevail. Referring to the current wave of nationalism and xenophobia in Europe in general, and Israel in particular. Probably the most "meaningful" entry this year.
I already did my review of this song and I STILL don't quite know what to think about this song....hahaha It's just one of those really special entries. I'm not quite sure what spectrum I'm on love vs. hate. My reaction: What the hell did I just watch? :-D :-D
I like the music and the staging... but I will not vote because of the message... and if it is a criticism some groups on Europe who share fascism and national ideology will see the victory of this song as a scream and power up for their ideology... for hate to the emigrants, lgbt community and capitalism for an example...
hya Gorgeous!! Good seeing you back in another eurovision round 2019!! This entry will dust of some things or maybe burry............................?? Love ur conflicted reaction!!
I don’t see what they are wearing. I just like this music, this song.Words make you think.Song metaphor.A high angelic voice appeals to the people : tears shine when I look at you, man.Once I gave everything for you, I gave everything to you.In the world of consumption, a person is tied to his whims and desires. Therefore, BDSM costumes.Therefore, Europe will collapse if it does not just stop consuming. There is also concern for the ecology and the human soul in this song....sorry for my bad english((((
Last year Iceland was in my bottom three because Ari failed at all parts surrounding the competition. This year, however, Iceland is in my top three because It's everything I want from a Song in this competition: Native Language, Meaningful lyrics, talented Voice(s), a cohesiveness in terms of staging/appearance as well as production-wise, a passion that comes across perfectly and that it's unbelievably risky. This song is everything I wanted but never knew I needed! And I am pretty sure that this song will end somewhere in the TOP5 in the Grand Finale!
I feel Juries are gonna be 50/50 on this i think, some will appreciate its differences depending on their individual musical backgrounds. If there are juries who are looking for vocals then there wont be marking this high.
This is going to get Hungary 2018 points... AT BEST from juries. Televote will HAVE to come out and support the act and given what happened with Triana Park I'm just not super confident.
Honey, this is the absolute winner candidate!!! Triana Park was not in this level!!! Sorry to say this but this is way too good for Eurovision... Good luck from Turkey, annndddd Hatrid mun Sigra... 🇹🇷🇮🇸
I had the same reaction the first time if listened to it. To my mind, Line was a bit more forgettable. Iceland will stand out for sure ! It is more comparable with Montenegro 2013. Love you Iceland ! 😍
Here is the semi-final version of their performance ruclips.net/video/FmruTSEadu0/видео.html Do you find the screamy vocals more tolerable there? I think he sounded quite hoarse in the final version. And here is a nice cover of their song that won't hurt your ears ruclips.net/video/KlmQ4KerB0I/видео.html The lyrics are meant to be a warning about what is happening in Europe. It's a dark song but they are not actually promoting hate, of course. This is my #1 song of the year and I don't see that changing.

In a group of 40+ songs, this is one that you are going to remember.
Like it or hate it, it takes a lot of skill to sing like both of them
Both high tones and the "screaming?" are hard to sing
Technical tools are at hand. Yourself singing.... that is a skill.
Sactly
"there's no musicality to those vocals" learning how to do that technique correctly takes years of practice and doing it wrong is going to fuck up your voice so badly you might need surgery and even then it's not guaranteed your voice is ever going to recover. Just because someone might not like something doesn't mean it isn't good or doesn't require talent and dedication.

You were shook for 50% of the video, lmao
Iceland needed this, they needed a risk, and this was the only song that stood out on their NF in some way. They are satirical, strong and off-kilter and the song just grows on you despite the crazy. This is last in the semi, or top 5, or anywhere in between, but whatever it is, Iceland needed to do this this year. Shake up the ranks and controvert.
And no worries, everyone is like ???? at first, but fans some weeks later, trust me XD
I love this so much. The song itself is not much, but the whole performance is just so captivating!
When you understand with time that the "screaming" is melodic and purposely done juxtaposed with the angelic chorus to present both devil and angel in a person plus they are anti establishment, you begin to appreciate the greatness this song has.
C'mon Alesia, give this a chance! Eurovision needs this! 😆
How am I not giving it a chance? Did you watch? OR did you just watch 1 min and comment?
@@AlesiaMichelle I always watch your videos and I will continue to do so
It´s a tradition to return here after a while...hilarious reaction, was funny back then, still funny right now.
😘🇮🇸 iceland will prevail . . . straight to nr. 1
spacetoob yep your so right!
@@emiliabrightb94 I hope they do well. Live performances have been awesome! Video too!
The screaming is the best part. Especially when you look up the lyrics.
It's awesome to sing along at home, releases all stress!
this is the best but I think only the awakened get it ... it isn't a song for standard 'judging' using a programmed formula. I was shocked at first too but I'm addicted now - my number one for sure. These guys are authentic and on a mission and I'm behind them all the way
Well Iceland and Portugal are the best entries of this year for sure!!
Portugal is a quality act. Nothing ever seen.
Iceland is good but nothing original...we've seen this many times in other contexts...But people will vote for this. If it was something fair Portugal would win since is the best proposal this year. By far.
@@eddiemurphy21 "Nothing original... We've seen this many times in other contexts." No? Tell me where you've seen a song anything like Hatrið mun sigra in Eurovision before. And don't say Hard Rock Hallelujah because the message Hatari is portraying is absolutely nowhere in that song (not to mention it's metal, and this is industrial punk). Name me at least one instance of an entry where we saw anything like Hatrið mun sigra.
@@Alfred-F-Jones hard rock hallelluhaj. What you are asking me is this: " name me one thing that is going to happen if you die but don't tell me you are gonna stop living". You see? That is a fast food song, seen before in eurovision. Forget eurovision. These songs were seen before in many contexts. Rock, a mix between Marylin Manson and Lordi, eletronics, and that's it. I even like the sound of it, I would listen to it on the radio, but that's it. The point is: I've never knew about anything like Portugal's entry in any kind of context. Not in Eurovision, not anywhere else... so, I ask you now: name me a song like that in any context!?
It's 100 per cent original, something never seen before and if eurovision was a fair thing, Portugal would win by far since it's the most original and the quality act of the show. There's not even a proposal comparable!...
This is the winner.
You're forgetting, it's 2019. Remember Iceland in '99 and '09?
Ok... 2nd place. As long as it doesn't win lol. BUT! Honestly, I'd LOVE to go to Iceland for Eurovision... Except for the fact that I'd prefer a warmer place lol.
@@AlesiaMichelle Alesia, but we should remember Iceland is quite expensive, especially if we talk Eurovision (a whole week experience), it's more expensive than Sweden.
@@AlesiaMichelle They're getting a huge buzz though. People like the song, myself included, but it also is waking up the closet freaks who won't admit they like it but will vote for it.
Hated it the first time I heard it. It’s such a grower. After 2 or 3 times it’s so unique.
I think if people truly allow the darkness of this song to come through them, they'll feel alive.. I understand it's too much but the second I managed to do that, I embraced Hatari like never before and I definitely hope they win the whole thing!
I actually think this is going to do really well in Eurovision. Rock/metal genre is insanely popular in east Europe and sex is universal so... Yeah I can see this doing well haha.
I feel this maybe a Lordi esque year, or a Dima Bilan Year.
A year that isnt so strong where the most different song wins for its difference (Lordi and Hatari) or a returnee that should have won the first time around with a weaker song. (Dima and Sergey)
Interesting take...
@@AlesiaMichelle From one American Eurofan to the next! ✌
Sergey will definitely not win.
@@konstantinospapaioannou2588 well considering his song an this comment being made before we got it. It was just hypothesizing.
@@thomassturley5183 Oh, ok. I just find his song too forced, too biased to show off, to impress, and to stand out. It doesn't happen naturally. There is more deliberation, intention, and calculation in the song than inspiration, emotion, and message. In my ears, it's fake and unoriginal, and juries will burry it.
Great song. Iceland would be a favorite winner this year. Don´t try to add politics. This is a true art and great performance!
About time for aggressive EBM/Digital Hardcore to step in to the Eurovision stage, the genre is about 30 years old already.
I can draw parallels with "Minn Hinsti Dans", the Iceland entry of 1997. It is provocative and very in your face, my only criticism will go beyond the image and the song itself.
Klemens (the one that sings the chorus) should train his live vocal technique, get some proper vocal coach, because at the moment it doesn't sound consistent and good.
It's interesting that in the battle of the weird you've come down on the side of Portugal. I think Iceland will have broader appeal. Portugal will do well with the juries but I think the televote will be dodgy as hell. Iceland will get a huge televote, and I think a respectable jury score. If people resonate with it, that could be the winner.
I disagree.
@@AlesiaMichelle Obviously, that's why I posted in the first place. I just figured it could be a discussion?
I can never vote for a music which refers that the hate must prevail and Europe will crumble. And the "a web of lies will arise from the ashes united as one". It seems they are calling fascism and the nationalists to spread hate... For God sake!!! Is everyone crazy??? Even if it is a criticism and open eyes for Europe, I'm afraid that the people who like/ share/ spread this kind of ideology will see as power up... as calling for them to show their power... 😮😮😮😮😮
Eurovision isn't about 'appeasing.' Hungary wasn't to this level last year in being 'unreachable' to some but it qualified all the same. This takes it to a new level, but that is FAR more likely to qualify than the run of the mill types.
@Alesia Michelle This song is basically what the inside of my head has been like for the past 2+ years, given all of what's been going on in the world. I have little hope for the future now. And “Hatrið mun sigra” is very much what I fear is coming. We should consider it a warning.
If you don't get that vocal, go watch Finland 2006 entry. Lol and see what happened
Hatrið mun sigra.. all the way
Many people think that Portugal and Iceland can annul one another because they are both different and are both in the second half of the first semifinal
But. but. but. but.... Conan's song is palatable. Iceland is divisive AT BEST... worst: offensive; best: unique
This will definitely qualify.
It is surely the winner!!!!
Me neither, I am not letting 'Hatred' into my system, so it will not 'prevail'. It's like, now, that we don't have Maruv anymore, people have to love Hatari instead. Maruv's entry was so freaking good, not safe at all, but very clear in its irony. I know they are not comparable (accept for the 'not safe' quality), but I need something more - meaningful - in the artistry ... or how to put it
What about Portugal??
The message from Hatari should be seen as a warning, that hate will prevail. Referring to the current wave of nationalism and xenophobia in Europe in general, and Israel in particular.
Probably the most "meaningful" entry this year.
I already did my review of this song and I STILL don't quite know what to think about this song....hahaha It's just one of those really special entries. I'm not quite sure what spectrum I'm on love vs. hate. My reaction: What the hell did I just watch? :-D :-D
I like the music and the staging... but I will not vote because of the message... and if it is a criticism some groups on Europe who share fascism and national ideology will see the victory of this song as a scream and power up for their ideology... for hate to the emigrants, lgbt community and capitalism for an example...
@@aidarafsantos They are quite the opposite of what are you describing! I think you should recheck what they want to depict. Hope you will get them
@@aidarafsantos Sorry, but I can't believe that you listened to the same song I did!
Appreciate your honesty. I felt the same way. Including scared.
Haha, I love this reaction. Its just you being confused for 8 min :).
hya Gorgeous!! Good seeing you back in another eurovision round 2019!! This entry will dust of some things or maybe burry............................?? Love ur conflicted reaction!!
I absolutely LOVE the whole thing 😍😍😍
I don’t see what they are wearing. I just like this music, this song.Words make you think.Song metaphor.A high angelic voice appeals to the people : tears shine when I look at you, man.Once I gave everything for you, I gave everything to you.In the world of consumption, a person is tied to his whims and desires. Therefore, BDSM costumes.Therefore, Europe will collapse if it does not just stop consuming. There is also concern for the ecology and the human soul in this song....sorry for my bad english((((
Iceland is so good
Last year Iceland was in my bottom three because Ari failed at all parts surrounding the competition.
This year, however, Iceland is in my top three because It's everything I want from a Song in this competition: Native Language, Meaningful lyrics, talented Voice(s), a cohesiveness in terms of staging/appearance as well as production-wise, a passion that comes across perfectly and that it's unbelievably risky.
This song is everything I wanted but never knew I needed!
And I am pretty sure that this song will end somewhere in the TOP5 in the Grand Finale!
Meaningful lyrics?? Do you agree with the message??
I am like wowed. I learned your intro. wowowoowowow are you ready for the show😂😂 Go reprisent USA in ESC
You are entitled to your opinion of course, but there is musicality in his voice for sure, just maybe different from what you normally listen to :)
This was literally my FIRST reaction... peep the current content ;-)
I feel Juries are gonna be 50/50 on this i think, some will appreciate its differences depending on their individual musical backgrounds. If there are juries who are looking for vocals then there wont be marking this high.
This is going to get Hungary 2018 points... AT BEST from juries. Televote will HAVE to come out and support the act and given what happened with Triana Park I'm just not super confident.
I think that the jury will not vote for the vocals but for the message... this kind of music is very dangerous in our time and in Europe... 😔😔😔😔
I TOUGHT IT IS THE WINNER FROM THE FIRST SECOND AND AS SHOW GO ON I LIKE IT MORE AND MORE ;D
My absolut fav!
Eurovision purists are going insane and I love it
me: loving the studio version it gives me chills, can't get into their live setting and performance AT ALL.
This will be top 5. Lordi won why cant Hatari??
I disagree with 2:16, there is a lot more musicality to Matthias vocals than Klemens
Iceland ia KILLIN IT this year!🔥🇮🇸
Honey, this is the absolute winner candidate!!! Triana Park was not in this level!!! Sorry to say this but this is way too good for Eurovision... Good luck from Turkey, annndddd Hatrid mun Sigra... 🇹🇷🇮🇸
Your reaction at the end of the song is priceless. :)
Love this song
'' there is no musicality in this vocal ''' funny, what does she say when she hears black rappers rapping
Hatrið mun sigra !!! :D
I had the same reaction the first time if listened to it.
To my mind, Line was a bit more forgettable. Iceland will stand out for sure ! It is more comparable with Montenegro 2013.
Love you Iceland ! 😍
... "Line" was the last in the semi. #jussayin
This vocal is scream and i love this song my winner 😍😍😍
yes x
Here is the semi-final version of their performance ruclips.net/video/FmruTSEadu0/видео.html Do you find the screamy vocals more tolerable there? I think he sounded quite hoarse in the final version.
And here is a nice cover of their song that won't hurt your ears ruclips.net/video/KlmQ4KerB0I/видео.html
The lyrics are meant to be a warning about what is happening in Europe. It's a dark song but they are not actually promoting hate, of course.
This is my #1 song of the year and I don't see that changing.
Screamy vocal is the MOOD. It makes this song stand out.
I live in Iceland and some peple are going to move from Iceland cuz of this song
