Another one of my favourite songs for 2016 and it doesnt make the final. From the first time i listening to this song i like its up beat tempo the stage show that Greta done with her song was great i thought this time she would do better then last time she was in eurovision. Or was I Hear Them Calling alittle scary alittle dark lol
My VPN software is no longer unscrambling the blocked Eurovision performances. I have to work off memory until the DVD arrives. Very frustrating!!
Greta was one of my early favorites. I loved her performance and thought the sound was fresh and entirely different from what I’ve heard before.
But, when compared to the rest of the songs in the contest, I think it sounded too different for the audience and it didn’t go to the grand final. Iceland took a risk and I respect it. It didn’t work out, but so what, Greta’s fans will still love her.
A great song that resonated so well with the crowd but perhaps didn’t translate to TV? It should have gone through to the final.
