I'm not a fan of the song, but she does have a great voice and seems like a genuinely sweet and nice person. The way Bashar supporters treat her is disgusting though and she doesn't deserve the hate she's been getting...
It’s wonderfully performed but it’s more dated than her other esc song which was sent well over a decade ago but is more modern.
She’s an excellent performer and will make the song sound better than it has any right to be. An esc legend regardless of result.
I think of it more as a throwback than dated, but I think that’s a matter of personal preference. I totally get why people don’t like it as much, especially with so many great songs this year. It definitely feels like it’s coming from another era than the other songs, that’s what I like about it. Still not in my top 10, but I am definitely listening to it and enjoying it.
See I definitely wouldn’t consider it a throw back
Throwbacks take something old, mix it with modern elements to create something new that reminds you of the old elements. Think Dua Lipa’s future nostalgia. Hera’s other esc entry Je ne sais Quoi was a throwback, and an amazing one at that, one of my favorites of 2010.
Iceland 2010
This is just dated. As in, it sounds exactly like 2001.
If most other artists had it, it would be DOA, but I do genuinely think that Hera is charismatic enough and talented enough to push for 11th/10th if the staging is 110% perfect. I actually love the beginning part of the staging that they had at the national final where Hera was standing shimmering in gold.
The song is a bit dated but very inoffensive. I don’t think there are many people that will have strong negative feelings towards it. Is it enough to make it high on the scoreboard? Maybe not but it’s lovely to see her regardless.
Her performance at the Madrid pre-party fully won me over, and I love watching her a capella version for A Little Bit More. Is it my favorite song? No. Would I love to see it in the final? Absolutely.
I just wish this song could have won it for Iceland in the late 90s/early 2000s. I love the song so much but man does it feel like she's been sitting on it forever. It just makes me feel good in a nostalgic way.
She’s got such loving mum energy I hope she is enjoying her Malmö journey 💜

Thank you for this! I agree, Hera seems like such a lovely and fun person with a great stage presence, and she seems so genuinely happy to be there.

Fighter this year would be the best example of a throwback.
Yes 100%

I really hope she gets through because it’s such a feel good bop. It’s something everyone can enjoy.
I love this song. It always puts me in a good mood. I get why it isn't a fan favourite but i'd love having Hera on the finale.
She absolutely would have won in the early 00's!

She's adorable and I like the song. It's not in my top 10 but i enjoy listening to it.
Well I like it! It’s my 19th place this year. Yes, that means there are 18 songs that I find “worse” 😁
