[@iss5917]

As a Scandinavian, I really think she had an impressive Icelandic accent for being a Canadian! Same goes for the Russian guy. I would never have guessed that he is British.

[@escfan2706]

As a hardcore Eurofan, I loved how the movie acknowledged the serious, quality and beautiful aspect to Eurovision as well as the jokey aspect (my least fav part to Eurovision) Because Eurovision, contrary to what many people believe, has some fantastic and beautiful songs😁 All in all the film was great, and I specifically adored Husavik, such an outstanding song. A song originally sung by Melfest legend Molly Sandén btw, go give her discography a listen❤️

[@lindakutsubos1222]

Oh okay never saw Eurovision or heard of it. I don't have Netflix so haven't got to see it as well as a lot of good movies. Looks pretty good though from what I've seen.

[@awnzotheman]

So is it like... the voice or something?

[@ralphranalli4154]

OMG MOLLY SANDEN'S VOICE!

[@mgm579]

Eff. U.!! Most Americans don’t know anything about because it is never talked about in the media but it is an annual European music competition watched by millions with one contestant from each country. It is an honor to participate with a huge lead up time. The winning country hosts the following years competition. The movie portrays it pretty well with a healthy dose of humor in different aspects. This movie actually had multiple real Eurovision contest winners in it in the song along episode at the Russian party.

[@escfan2706]

E. U That’s a common misconception for people who have never seen it before but no it’s nothing like the voice. Each year around 40 countries choose songs and artists through internal selections or national finals. National finals being when multiple singers attempt to perform at Eurovision for that country. Each country can pick their song and artist in any way they like, as long as the song hasn’t been publicly released earlier than September of the previous year. There are two semis at Eurovision in which roughly 17 songs compete in each with 10 making it to the final based off of a jury and a televote. In the final the 20 qualifiers plus the big 5 (🇫🇷🇮🇹🇪🇸🇬🇧🇩🇪 countries that put the most money financially into the contest get a free pass to the final each year) Perform and a winner is decided by a combination of jury and televote. So in reality it’s actually very different to the voice, plus it’s being around 60 years longer than it😆 Began in 1956

[@MrYanagi121]

If you like Icelandic listen to Sigur Ros, some of their songs played in the movie.

[@timrandolph214]

If you want beautiful Icelandic music then go be in awe of the most beautiful Icelandic music you’ll hear from a band called Sigur Ros... they made up their own language to occasionally sing in called “hopelandic” and they sing in Icelandic and English sometimes also!

[@Niki91-HR]

We Europeans at least had with this movie a bit of the Eurovision spirit we missed this year because of stupid Corona. The song along was the icing of the cake...all the cameos of the Eurovision stars was epic.... but I did miss Verka. I kind of hope we get a Part 2
