wtg Hera I hope a top 10 in Oslo
Iceland I hope the song is exellent as always !!! Good luck Iceland i Love you !!! Καλη επιτυχια Ισλανδια σε αγαπαω !!!
Lol Hera should win, but if her song would cmpete in an other NF tonight i would say different...
Pleaseeeeeeeeeee... HERA!!
i really dont get how people can slate hera bjork so much
the best song in the final is Je Ne Sais Quoi
next would be Iris with The One
then Jógvan with One more day
the other 3 are basically
a wierd rock country song
some random guys sitting on chairs singing about nothing
and some rock pop ditty that is just rubbish
*I meant 2001* 
I´d better get ready for the worst, and that would be Hera winning tonight. Such a dire song! If it happens for the first year since 2002 I won´t be voting for Iceland.
I'd like to see Hvanndalsbræður in Oslo, but I don't mind if it will be Hera.
but ola
this is my life entered when it was 100% televoting
now it is 50/50 in semis and final...so its difficult to compare 
Hera Bjork song is quite similar with song This is my life, but better to have 1 copy of This is my life or to have 3 copy of Yohanna song from 2009, if Iceland choose Iris Holm, Denmark choose Simone and Norway choose Maria Arredondo.
Didn't they send "Je ne sais quoi" already a few years ago and called it "This Is My Life" then?
HERA BJORK FOR OSLO , because no one country dont have this type of song in national final, If Iceland choose Iris Holm and Denmark choose Simone, Norway choose Maria Arredondo we can get 3 song with similar sound & lyric.
The song I like the most is "One more day" of Jógvan Hansen but I do not why I think the representatives of Iceland will be Sigurjón Brink
Joanna to Oslo !!!!!
She should have won last year....Hera cant do it
Iris Holm has to win. But Hera will reach the top unfortunately.
If Iceland only reached 13th with Euronbandid they wont even reach the final with Hera.
THE SONG IN ICELANDIC IS SURELY THE BEST HERA IS PURE S***

Hera Björk to Oslo !
I will be watching both Norway and Iceland tonight. Iceland, PLEASE DO NOT and I stress the words DO NOT choose Hera Bjork. You will go to the bottom of the results board with that song. And before everyone starts accusing me of not liking Hera, I loved 'Someday' from DMG last year but this is an awful song!!!
Iris Holm for the win!!! I even played 'The One' in my office the other day and people were saying how good it was!!
Iris Holm, good luck from Scotland!!
Hvanndalsbræður should make this. Please, don't choose Hera Bjørk 
the song is so ordinary, yuck
@new in town
good looking is not an important fact.. look at molitva's singer and lordi...
Je Ne Sais Quoi or The One to win !
I think they should choose Hvannadalsbraedur. Hera is just cheap and crap!
HERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shes the best..please send her!
and i will definatley vote Iceland for the third year running 
HERA = T.A.C.K.Y. & C.H.E.A.P.
She's not even good looking!! Not that looks are everything, but atleast it could help..
Hera Bjork to Oslo..!
good lucks from greece
"Out of sight" is the best song imo 
Anna Hlín was the best
