I just have to say, to all of the people of Iceland, you did not make a mistake sending this to Eurovision. This was genuinely one of the best songs this year, and thank you for letting Greta win your national selection.
+Grace Tucker Well said. This song was the best in their selection by far, and it's a crying shame that this didn't make it to the final. Iceland should indeed be very proud of this song and Greta's performance.
Definetely agree with you. I hope Greta will return to Eurovision as soon as possible, as a songwriter or again as an artist. The most important, she is again part of it.
2022 almost ending and I really cannot understand how this masterpiece didn't qualify for the Grand Final! Winner material, song, live and perfo were incredible! ✊🏻❤️ Buenos Aires Argentina here! 🇦🇷
So unbelievable upset. I'm not an emotional person but I cried walking home after getting off the train from the arena. Greta told me herself how much she's worked and rehearsed for this. It's heartbreaking. She's a strong woman but I hope she realizes how much love we fans have for her.
The voting of 2016 was really weird, both the jury and televote. That crap like Russia (who, by the way, stole from our act!) actually won the televote makes me weep.
Im sorry but this is not less than Russia, the first song to show the performance was Iceland, i like more Iceland, and i like Russia too but it seems this is a big signal that the judges would do what it takes to make Russia wins....thats the only thing that I dont like..but I hope that another country wins, the public votes can do that
That moment at 1:49, THAT INCREDIBLE MOMENT PLEEEEEEAAAAASEEEEEE. This is just a shame we're not going to see Greta and her fantastic performance on Saturday's final. Even though, thank you Iceland for your song, I love it so much!
Yes, I always love Iceland in everything! They deserve a place because it was the best song ever, great performance and that iceland has 330,000 people....
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! This is just a shame. Greta should be in the final instead of Azerbaijan. Hope to see you next year Greta, you are simply amazing!
+FlameRays Don't be ridiculous. Although I am Russian, I prefer her performance . And her song. Both shows are interesting in their own way. It's not fair.
Its a shame that it won't be in the final. In my opinion it should have gone instead of Miracle. I'm from Malta and I voted for and tbh when it came down to the last country being chosen I didn't know who to root for...
+Kris Agius Why is that *obvious*. I am from Croatia and while this year I indeed do support Nina (cause her song is beautiful), in 2011, for instance, I thought our non-qualification was all well deserved. It was crap. In this semi, I voted Estonia, Netherlands, Austria and Iceland, cause our 2 neighboring countries (Montenegro and Bosnia) had atrocious songs. If you are true music fan, you vote songs, not countries.
I can't believe it. This is Iceland, this song explain the magic of this land, this song has a beautiful message, and a great staging. I can't believe that Cyprus is in the final instead of her. I can't.
Imi place sa vad romani care sustin Islanda si Estonia ! Inca sunt teribil de dezamagita ca nici Juri, nici Greta nu au trecut mai departe :((( ;-; TT-TT
She was flawless, I can't understand why generic Azerbaijan qualified but Greta didn't... It was one of the most unique songs I've ever heard, it's such a shame she didn't make it to the final....
because azerbaycan pays/paid for votes. did you forget about that little scandal that azerbaycan bought votes in lithuania? why do you think nikki and elnur won over the others?:)
Because Azerbaijan has countries like Russia and Armenia that will vote for them no matter what song they put out while Iceland is an island in the middle of nowhere.
Azerbaijan did their best to qualify, because they are rivals with Armenia, and they didnt want their biggest eneny to go to final and them to stay in the semifinal. Azerbaijan has friends with Malta.
+Brynjar Reynisson OMG you're so wrong! Azerbaijan and Armenia are huge enemies, they'd never vote for each other! However, it's true that Azerbaijan is supported by several other countries, including Russia, Georgia, Ukraine etc.
Honestly, I didn't like it first. But I realized it was one of the best songs this year, it's unique and catchy, and now I always listen it a lot and love it so much. It would have deserved to be in the final and get a place in top 10.
I'm Greek and I'm actually way more disappointed for Iceland than Greece who failed to qualify for the first time. At least Iceland deserved to be in the final more than anyone.
The song and the staging were equally perfect, Greta has such a beautiful voice.. I'm so sad they didn't qualify.. she's the one who absolutely deserved to be in the final!!!!
Okay sure, love how people always jump to that conclusion because it’s the easiest one for them to think of. Russia floppped in 2018 so not sure where the “russia do well whatever they send” attitude comes from
@@eurovisionalex2558 i don't know why Russia sent Julia to Eurovision when she couldn't really sing properly. But honestly Russia should be glad to stay in the Semi that year rather then get into the Finale (which is impossible) and people will drawn Russia down
Some people may find it weird and pathetic but I am genuinely very sad and disappointed with the results. Just how sports fans react when they lose something, that's how I feel about us not getting in the final of Eurovision. I didn't go in with high expectations (although you always hope) but with every day gone by we were higher and higher on the scoreboard and gotten such an amazing response. I really thought we would make it. I know Greta's main goal was to get the message of the song across (which she certainly has) but it still sucks. It was a FLAWLESS performance and Iceland can be very proud of Greta and the entire team.
One of the biggest shocks I've ever witnessed in Eurovision, was this talented lady not qualifying. I hope she comes back to represent Iceland in the future and that my country is voting that night so I can help her (unlike last night) :(
OH, GRETA! I AM SOOO SORRY! I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND! I AM SHOCKED! WHY?! WHY IS NOT SHE IN THE GRAND FINAL??? SHE DESERVES IT! I AM CRYING! 😭😭😭 MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF THE YEAR, IT WAS AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!
I'm absolutely shocked!!! She was in my top 3!!! This had it all! Amazing staging, an amazing voice, and an amazing person!!!! I feel so bad for Greta!!! #JUSTICEFORGRETA
The biggest crime that ever happened in Eurovision: Iceland not qualifying for the final.

+krmadymn 38 I feel like she needs to be the first Icelandic victor, regardless of what year she wins it.
Grace Tucker totally agree with you
yes, but only she took 14th place in the semi-finals😭😭
best non-qualifying song in history !!!
Agreed
Agreed
And Moldova in my opinion.
+Top10 Agreed!
Completely agree - Iceland and Moldova, as well as Azerbaijan and Norway, were my favourites this year and they all scored really low points... :P
2022 almost ending and I really cannot understand how this masterpiece didn't qualify for the Grand Final!
Winner material, song, live and perfo were incredible! ✊🏻❤️
Buenos Aires Argentina here! 🇦🇷

at least now she's the best non-qualifier ever and it's been proven!
this could be in top 10 in the final ? why , why ?
this should have won
The voting of 2016 was really weird, both the jury and televote. That crap like Russia (who, by the way, stole from our act!) actually won the televote makes me weep.
the song top 5 finals I agree it's not fair that she wasn't in the final I from Russia
@@Euroviking86 who do u mean by our?
I thought this was a contender for victory. Her not qualifying makes me so unbelievably sad.
Can SOMEBODY please EXPLAIN WHY DID MASTERPIECE DIDN'T QUALIFY?? ...
This was simply GORGEOUS ... Iceland were ROBBED.
+SanBeanzie Sorry but the televoters made this decision. Her performance is just a inferior version of Russia's.
Im sorry but this is not less than Russia, the first song to show the performance was Iceland, i like more Iceland, and i like Russia too but it seems this is a big signal that the judges would do what it takes to make Russia wins....thats the only thing that I dont like..but I hope that another country wins, the public votes can do that
Because it was very unmemorable
One word: ROBBED!
This song was amazing. Deserved to be in the Final.
NANDO tbh it deserved to be first
NO WAY. SHE DESERVES TO BE IN THE FINAL!!
ROMANIA LOVES YOU
Daaaaa
Bine ca s-a dus Azerbaijan care dupa parerea mea aduce cu Paula Seling si Ovi - Miracle... Sau italienii care au lasat de dorit
Robert Munteanu italienii erau 100% calificați că sunt printre cei 5 care contribuie cel mai mult la show.
Doamne tipa din Azerbaidjan nu poate cânta fara backing vocals si totusi s.a calificat oricum totul se rezuma la block-voting
That moment at 1:49, THAT INCREDIBLE MOMENT PLEEEEEEAAAAASEEEEEE. This is just a shame we're not going to see Greta and her fantastic performance on Saturday's final. Even though, thank you Iceland for your song, I love it so much!
Iceland are always one of my favourite countries in Eurovision, and I missed them terribly in the final.
Same
Yes
Yes, I always love Iceland in everything!
They deserve a place because it was the best song ever, great performance and that iceland has 330,000 people....
I'm Abdou What are you talking about? Iceland received their highest points (7) from San Marino. Blame everyone else including the made up televote.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! This is just a shame. Greta should be in the final instead of Azerbaijan. Hope to see you next year Greta, you are simply amazing!
*Greta ^^
+Tigran Abgarjan Greta is just Great😂😂
l m so sad for iceland
+Jose López Great is Greta... I mean Greta is greta... great.
+Jose López Rather switch Austria with this.
My winner of ESC 2016!
If she sung in Icelandic, she would be in top 10 easy. But MASTERPIECE is MASTERPIECE!
bullshit you said
+Dragana Ristic Why so rude?
+Emil Müller Why not?
+Emil Müller If anyone say something against this song I'll be much more rude than here...
STILL 12 POINTS FROM GERMANY! 🔥🔥🔥 Can't believe that Iceland is not in the final. 😕
Totally agree with you !!
Iceland is the winner.....I am from Russia
+Tom Austin 12 points from me too and I just can't believe this qualify.. I'm totally heartbroken and upset. I'll never get over this

+MrAsombrado Sorry but the televoters made this decision. Her performance is just a inferior version of Russia's.
+FlameRays Don't say that. I admit it was too similar to Russia's but still, her song was amazing
+ClassicProGamers Austria's was deserved. Azerbaijan and Holland were the thieves
Still can’t believe this didn’t qualify! Genius staging!
The biggest mistake that this didn't qualify. The most talented work...
+Yan Kirillin Sorry but the televoters made this decision. Her performance is just a inferior version of Russia's.
+FlameRays Don't be ridiculous. Although I am Russian, I prefer her performance . And her song. Both shows are interesting in their own way. It's not fair.
7 years later and I still cant understand how this didnt qualify. Like literally, this song had everything to fight for TOP10.
There it is. One of the most underrated entry of the night :(
Its a shame that it won't be in the final. In my opinion it should have gone instead of Miracle. I'm from Malta and I voted for and tbh when it came down to the last country being chosen I didn't know who to root for...

Its just an opinion and if you don't agree then I frankly don't care
if you are maltese you had to root for malta...OBVIOUSLY

+Edward Reeves Croatia has a great song. If she puts a little more of feeling in the song she will nail the final. She's one of my favorites.
I can't believe it. This is Iceland, this song explain the magic of this land, this song has a beautiful message, and a great staging. I can't believe that Cyprus is in the final instead of her. I can't.
My favorite song from Eurovision 2016 and I still listen to it. I still feel sorry for her that she didn't qualify back then.
Same
I was expecting this amazing song would get through the finals,
It is one of my very favorite songs this year, This is unfair!!
+Triantafillos Platsis I thought it was the best of Round 1, honestly.
just shows how the people prefer generic crap over something good... Iceland was one of the best this year!!
@Sam Galea russia 2016 was first in televoting, that's what they're talking about
Greta won Eurovision. She gave us a memorable song that will be a eurovision hit throughout the years & thats a winner for me.
What?! All things in this performance were great!
WHY?! This song deserves a TOP10 in the final
No kidding, I busted into tears when she didn't qualify.
+aliceparamorefan I feel your pain

Same, I cried for a good hour 😭
I still can't believe this happened. I'm happy I'm not the only one though

How did this not qualify? She was a winner for me.
Yeaah... the fact that Iceland and Estonia didn't qualify SHOCKED me.
SAME
I loved estonia but in my defence he seemed too nervous. Greta though.. No idea 😭
Yeah, he was nervous
He has never performed in front of so many people
His message to estonia people was:
I hope you are not mad at me
+Alex Neagu Iceland & Estonia in....Azerbaijan and Austria out....
Imi place sa vad romani care sustin Islanda si Estonia ! Inca sunt teribil de dezamagita ca nici Juri, nici Greta nu au trecut mai departe
:((( ;-; TT-TT
HOW THIS MASTERPIECE DIDN'T QUALIFY!?
LOVE FROM ARMENIA
Seriously, how could she not qualify? What is wrong with Europe?
Hear them calling me still one of the best non final song in eurovision to this day for me
I can't believe she didn't qualify 😢😢😢
Whose here after she won Eurovision Again?
Meee :D
Me :)
What do you mean ?
@@angelbipboup9096 There was an event, where 26 entries from 26 countries, which didn't qualify took part, and she won
@@marcinaugustyn7356
Do you know where I can see that?
Great performance, one of the best in Semifinal 1! Very underrated.
Unbelievable... this was the best performance of the night. Too unfair!!!
She shloud be in final, She deserved it, it's a shame.:(
12 points from Czech Republic :)
It's 2019 and I'm still mad that this didn't qualify! This was my winner that year!
Iceland should have won the whole thing! 12 points and lots of love from Denmark!
Gretaaaaa!
Winner of Eurovision Again's Semi-Final special. Well done Greta!
How did she not qualify?? She was amazing!
2020 and I’m still not over this not qualifying ☹️
Greta Salome! The best artist Iceland has ever met! Her 2012 and 2016 entries are my top 2 of Iceland's entries in Eurovision history!!!
She was flawless, I can't understand why generic Azerbaijan qualified but Greta didn't... It was one of the most unique songs I've ever heard, it's such a shame she didn't make it to the final....

We are in 2023 and I still don't understand how she didn't qualify for the final 😢
She was in my top 5. I had no doubt about her qualify to the final. Amazing song!
8 years later and i am still upset that this didn’t qualify. love from Sweden ❤🇸🇪
1:47 this might just be my favourite part of Eurovision history
SHE CAN SING MAN......... GREAT SHOW TOO GRETA! THANKS!
One of my favourites from 2016 and I can't believe it never made the final.
After more than 4 years there was finally justice for Greta. 🇮🇸❤❤
I still can't believe this masterpiece is out!
should have got to the finals.
WHERE IS ICELAND IN THE FINAL #MESS
This not qualifying is a massive injustice. Amazing song.
Unbelievable. Iceland deserves to win.
Good luck for next year !

Estonia? The creepy perv guy with his weird hand gestures? No, thanks.

My favourite of ESC2016 💙 Still cyring for this in 2024...
This song deserved to go through. So please explain to me why it didn't!!
voting bias? Maybe Iceland doesn't have enough close allies not a big migrant population else where in countries that could vote ?
okay but like why didn't Iceland qualify?? one of my favourite performances of the night. love from armenia
The most underrated entry ever
She was so underrated it's unbelievable! She actually deserved top 10 in the final! 🇵🇹💜🇮🇸
Iceland and Norway deserved to qualify this year!
Yas they ate
Thank you for all the great music Greta! Stunning performance!!
am obsessed with this song and performed
The two Greta's songs in Eurovision are my favourite ones those years... And this year out of the final... It shouldn't be that!
Same...

I am so shocked she did not make it through. I was so sure she would qualify!

If you had had Denmark and Norway at your semifinal you could have been a strong contender of qualifying.
so amazing song, with beautiful refrain. what a shame, it didn't reach te final :(
HOW THIS MASTERPIECE DIDN'T QUALIFY??
Still find it wierd that this song didn't qualify to the finals. Then this would've been the winner.
😭I know
We need this in the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eurovision has ended to me.
Not a single clue why Iceland isn't in the Final ... best performance in the first semi.
