This is my _first_ time listening to this; and I _must_ say I agree with you, without question; not to mention that the end result with Hera in the first semi at Eurovision was no surprise to me at all! They played it safe, and were quickly sent packing.

I haven’t watched this since Söngvakeppninn because I knew if I watched this again I would start crying. You, your team, everyone behind this did a wonderful job and you all deserved so much better. ❤

[@valentinewiggin7782]

This would have won the vote of the American ESC fans.

[@susan-meaaz4879]

Iceland youve done fucked up, you could of had this in Eurovision!

[@FORGOTTENMINDFREAK23]

Can't be a worse fuck up than Croatia picking Baby Lasagna over Marcela 😂

[@ashtviceland]

Icelander here, i don’t know a single person who voted for Hera. All the votes of Hera were just the large amount of Icelandic racists that i am shocked exist. This was such a big lost oppurtunity that most of Icelanders have agreed to just stop watching Eurovision. That’s how sorry we feel about it. And this is not the first time the weaker song wins (happend before in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2023)

@@ashtviceland oof, I stand corrected then

[@ashtviceland]

@@FORGOTTENMINDFREAK23 And also before the pick we were at number 3 in the odds because Bashar would definatly have gotten us like top 10 i think in the finals. But Hera is litteraly ended up in the very very very very last place

[@aragland49]

Iceland chickened out. This is my ringtone. It starts conversations.

[@jarim1544]

Such a stupid choise which was proved in Malmö.

[@Djenili]

Wow, very beatiful song😍

[@waomin]

I wonder how will the staging be if it went to eurovision, considering they censor anything they deemed "political". Bashar's team definitely knows how to do staging, gutted we didn't see it instead. No disrespect to Hera but I think we can all agree this is a better song and staging to send to eurovision.

Would also only been right to have a palestinian representation there if Israel got one.
They couldn't have banned palestinian symbols either.

[@waomin]

@@Pippis78 I think they still will. Eric Saade was reprimanded for wearing his culture. They will argue that Bashar is representing Iceland and not Palestine.

[@amazingbluelobster]

I like Hera's song better tbh

[@f.s1281]

They did ban palestinan symbols​@@Pippis78
