Guys, I don't know what you are talking about. This girl is slaying vocally! The song is another story, it's always about personal taste, but her vocals are on point.
Can't lie because of how vocally amazing she is, this is one of my favourite songs of the contest. Live and all, unlike so many other this year, she can actually sing. All the runs, and the chaos of it all made me really enjoy it. It's not traditionally Eurovision, but that's why I like it, I like that in the more recent years our winners have not been like the traditional garish Eurovision sound, but more modern and appealing to people who are young. At least compared to a ballad like bridges, I feel like this has a much better chance. It's a shame that you guys didn't enjoy this one as much though, still, it was nice having you all discuss your opinions on it. Seemed a bit short compared to your other discussions, but I put that up to the overwhelmingly meh vibe it seemed to give off to you.
It's funny you guys had such different experiences with her voice. For me it's a really pleasant voice and it even gives me goosebumps at points. I think she completely sells the song - it's about overcoming mental health struggles, if I understand correctly - and I think it's really cathartic
This song has been UNDERRATED AS HELL by the community - some have put it in their bottom three...but Dilja is a DARK HORSE and carries the song live! I find the song EXTREMELY relatable in terms of lyrics. I have lately had issues with someone personally IRL and the song helped me get through the aftermath of it! The song is so catchy in the studio version as well!
This is such an underrated bop! Incredible vocals for me. I think the lyrics about reclaiming power and "taking your flowers" while you can is empowering (pardon the pun) and thoroughly enjoy the vibe.
Hmm, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about with the vocal thing. She sounds great and incorporates vocal dynamics really well with the light/soft and grit towards the end. And she hit the runs nicely too. Of course you don't have to like her voice, but technically she is very good.
Wow one of the very few videos (excluding Moldova ones) where Tyler is the most positive out of the group HAHA This is a weird song for me I hadn't focused on the icelandic national final, so when I heard it I was surprised with how good it was and since I've forgotten about it and its slid down my top. However, it coulddddddddddddddddddd, qualify it is in the MUCH weaker semi-final. It has a chance
Funny enough, my husband really likes her voice, and I can't stand it for all the reasons you guys mentioned. Because of that, I find this song difficult to listen to, let alone enjoy, but the hubby thinks it's really good. Amazing how subjective music really can be 😁
At first listen I found this to be a forgettable pop song. But gotta say, Diljá is a hell of a live performer, so with the weaker Semifinal 2, she might be a surprise qualifier. I don't love her voice timbre, but respect the physicality of what she's doing, being able to move around that much without getting out of breath.
An okayish song, but it doesn’t feel like Iceland took a risk this year. It would’ve been a smarter choice to sing in Icelandic. Right now, I’m not too optimistic about their qualification chance.
I find it interesting that people expect Iceland to take a risk to be competitive. While Sweden who produces just another pop song is well ahead of everyone else and is probably going to win. Why do some countries have to step out of the box to get a chance at possible top 5 while others win with the same things they've done before?
@@teukka623 It's no hate haha, this year isn't very strong in my opinion, a few standouts but majority don't have songs catered well for eurovision. You're right one of them did say 'why am I liking all the songs this year' but another of them said 'man this is a tough year for me' so idk haha
This to me is a big step down from the last 4 Iceland entries (counting 2020 as one). Hatari, Daði Freyr and Systur all brought something interesting to the contest. This... this is astonishingly safe and cookie cutter in comparison.
Last year was a step down, this year is a step up, but year not Hatari OR Dadi, though it's not exactly 'safe'. Celebs should have won the whole thing, though Dilja really WAS good!
I thought I was crazy for not liking her vocally (apart from not liking the generic pop song), because everyone was on about how amazing her vocals are.
This is not a reaction, review or critics this is plain and simple mockery. Your opinion is totally out numbered. This is not my number one bud she can sing and this song will go to my gym list that's for sure.
I do think she has a good live voice and the song isn’t terrible. Somehow I don’t connect with it though. It’s a lot of runs singing power which makes it a little too repetitive for me. The melody is also very elusive and I struggle to remember it. I doubt it will qualify, even if it is in the easier, second semi final - this seems more jury friendly than televote magnet. I do think she is a very competent vocalist but I just don’t enjoy the song.
I don't like the dull song. or the cringe vocal, or the grandpa styling, or the prancing around, or the cartoon hair, or the dry ice, or the lying down, or her English pronunciation, or the body reveal. - Still, good luck Iceland!
You are just being judgemental, superficial and *yawn* don't know what you are talking about. We all know people that just want to be mean to be mean. See ya later - I'm gonna be jammin with people that enjoy life and are kind!

I understand them. She does have strong vocals, she sings well yeah but I think she’s doing too much, to the point its irritating.

I like this performance a lot.

Wow i feel completely differemt, i feel her passion and shes not static with a coreography but rather she does her own thing
This grew on me when I saw the video with the lyrics. Now I play it all the time. I dont think you heard the lyrics maybe?

One of the best vocalists this year, those runs

That's surprising - it's GROWN for me!

She’s my number 3 this year. My bf is tired of me singing it every morning but it’s my favorite shower song. Obsessed

@@jasonburmeister4746 because they don’t have as good producers as sweden do
Damn you guys are really disliking every song this year haha 😂
I think someone from this group just said 2 videos ago that they have liked pretty much every song this year

@@TheManInBlueFlames I could not disagree more, I absolutely loved Með Hækkandi Sól where as Power has no staying power (pun intended) in my head

It`s not bad to listen, but not to watch. Flowers, clouds and kickboxer`s movements - it`s a weird mix.
She still slayed
I really like this one, it's fun. I only find the p p p power part annoying.
Where is Sweden ? 🥺🥺
Pretty late in the alphabetes
Day 29 waiting for Serbia😅😅😅😅
