"I was exploited!"

Silvia protests to Parliament

In a bizarre spectacle outside the Icelandic Parliament in Reykjavik this evening, Silvia Night supporters plackarded the government about the broadcast of The Silvia Night Show starting at 21:00 Iceland time (22:00 CET). She and her fans claim that she was exploited and the show should be banned!

In leaflets handed out by her team, she claims:

"From the day I was born, people have tried to cash in on my blinding beauty and my multiple talents. Those people will stop at nothing in their attempts to have a piece of the pie, even if it means ruining my reputation as a really good person... All this is being done in the name of reality TV! I Silvia Night, tell you there is NOTHING real about this show at all! In the DVD I am distributing, I reveal how the producers of the show have distorted reality in order to assassinate my character... So I say to you, say no to the Silvia Night show! If you want to get to know the real me, check out my debut album next spring".

We finally caught up with Silvia Night after the demonstration. In our video interview which will contain exclusive video footage of the demonstration, she explains why she wants her show to be stopped, and talks about her Eurovision Song Contest experience. Silvia does this in her own special way of course, without even slapping either the interviewer or the cameraman!

Find out the reason that Silvia believes she did not qualify for the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest final and who she blames! Find out about her new album. And of course, we asked Silvia if she will be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest again! All will be revealed in our video interview later this morning.

In the mean time, here's some of the exclusive footage from today's parliament demonstration:

@Pau VLC, please don't remind us how unlucky we are, we even have the pope! If Silvia was our prime minester, surely Italy would be ruled better...or can we borrow Zapatero for 1 or 2 years? :)

Silivia had no right to be so rude and harsh to ESC staff but the Greeks should not have booed her. Her 'character' is like a little child so the best way to deal with her would have been to be good hosts no matter what (the adult thing to do).

Both Silvia and the Greeks lost my respect for the way they acted.

Ms. N. (Ms. Night or Ms. Nobody) doesn't need all this attention in the rest of Europe. Let her be famous in her Iceland.

Silvia is the best, this Agusta Eva playing her character is genious! Such a shame she wasn't in final on ESC 2006, for me she was more entertaining than Lordi or any other performers previous year.

Well Lucio... then let Silvia being Prime Minister of Italy... and make a state visit to Spain (concretely to Valencia, like the Pope LOL) :D

I don't think the greek react was unnormal.... it was simply just not their type of humor. And yeah she was and is RUDE!

Somebody spank her real hard and turn her into a new Betty Page - she needs it.

I'm sure she's a really funny character, Drew, but the only problem is tht last year she really insulted lots of people who were not part of the whole act. I would say that's simply rude.

@ Pau VLC: No, no Silvia should not go to Spain, you are lucky enough. She should come to Italy and become prime minister :)

Dear Drew, the lady for ten days before ESC was so rude that's why the greek audience react that way. Her song and her show were so good but she was very rude in everything she done before the contest.

Drew Ford Fiesta, mind your patients!
The girl was never interested at the Eurovision Song Contest, she used it as promo. Elvis has left the building...

I pray Silvia Night and Silvia Day that a miracle happens and she returns to be normal... :P

I loved Silvia Night and do not understand why she is slated!! Is it because people dont understand her brand of comedy and that actually she is playing a character? Iceland were robbed last year and the song and performance were excellent, ruined completely by the Greeks and the Greek audience who were rude as rude can be!!!

In other countries such people are brought to clinics.
