Iceland Eurovision 2020 Reaction | Daði & Gagnamagnið "Think About Things"

[@tacom1]

Can we just acknowledge the fact that a small country like Iceland has so much talent? How on earth do they come year after year with such different styles of music, but all fantastic in their genre ! Such a fun song, but so well executed. LOVE it .

[@guddasnudda29]

The wife is the curly haired one, the sister is the singer with the glasses of Daði. All six of them of them are close friends. A close knit family :-)

[@felinazogatuno]

And Dádi and his wife have a baby girl together too!

[@annatraustadottir4387]

And the song is about his small daugther who is less than a year young

[@dv2483]

are the parents in the video?

[@robertoalvaro8952]

@@dv2483 The parents are that short curly-haired girl and Dadi (the main singer) himself!

[@dv2483]

​@@robertoalvaro8952 i wondered if the audience was also family. it could be his mother in law where he's winking at :) or dadi's father sleeping through the performance

Iceland and Lithuania: the two dark masters of fun

[@marshmelows]

yes!

[@ac1dicsalt]

Yes!!! and because of it I can't decided where should I put them on top 3 because they are so good 🤣

[@anonymousperson6805]

I think Iceland 🇮🇸 has better song because you can sing and dance which the song but I love Lithuania 🇱🇹 To but i didn’t dance with the Lithuanian song

[@marshmelows]

[@GospodinNelson]

When I found out that he sings about his baby daughter I became sold. It's actually very cute and clever entry and I want Iceland to win❤🇮🇸

[@danielb1500]

Mr Nilsson I know it’s so much cuter and amazing when you listen to lyrics ☺️

[@SitahTaylorsversion]

True!

[@anna-nj8xb]

Mr Nilsson yeah and last time he competed he sang about his girlfriends who is now his wife😊

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

Can we just acknowledge shortly how perfect the harmonies on this one are? ^^ Not only the main singer hitting all those low notes, the background singers amplify his vocals perfectly and just casually do the dance moves along with him, while still holding on to their individual melodies. Considering how many backing singers have been messing up Eurovision performances historically, this is really astounding!

[@aifulin8581]

I agree, the backing vocalists are amazing

[@mattspintosmith5285]

We know how that family and friends spent the dark arctic winter nights. Getting all the details, harmonies, moves exactly right.

[@elisabetolafsdottir1795]

@@mattspintosmith5285 They made the final version of the dance the day before shooting the video. They were rehearsing for an hour on a snowy street corner while the camera crew was setting up. They are kind of gifted.

[@eurovizusayay3591]

Iceland and Lithuania are bringing quality songs filled with the same Euro quirkiness that made us fall in love with Eurovision in the 1st place. This Euro flavor is why we keep watching.

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

Are you ready for something that's never been said in the history of Eurovision? This year is going to be a fight between Lithuania and Iceland for the crown. They have both _snapped_ and I love this. I'm really, really hoping to see a new winner this year. Daði og Gagnamagnið is Hatari without the controversy and I think this was the best choice Iceland could have made.

[@nohatenopain]

Dont forget norway and Sweden

[@justel10]

Lithuania is better.

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

@@justel10 I wish I could pick a favorite so easily! I love them both so much and I would honestly be happy if either of them win.

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

@@nohatenopain Oh _totally_ agreed! I just specifically mention Iceland and Lithuania because they've never won before.

[@nohatenopain]

Alfred F. Jones Swedens national election is tonight! Have you heard any of the contestants ? And if so, who is your favorite ?

[@Luca-ed8dz]

This really sticks out. So simple and yet groovey and memorable. With their 80th's style they're definatly in the current main stream movie/ series / pop culture 🤖

[@AmaanStorm]

I love when a song is upbeat and happy, and both William and Deban mimic the vibe of the song and absolutely bounce to the rhythm! I’m really enjoying this Icelandic entry. They’re one of my favourite countries in Eurovision (I still haven’t got over Hera Bjork being totally robbed in 2010, and Svala being severely overlooked and underrated in 2017 😢). This one is fun and quirky. I like it

[@ghg8634]

The woman with the curly hair is his wife and the one with the long hair is his younger sister. Love you guys! Love from Reykjavík, Iceland ☺

[@nargisatursunova4008]

[@MsLLs]

Iceland and the people who live there are so cool, so full of creativity! Everything they do just stands out! Definitely the song will do well!

[@shaneodonnell2519]

This song is nothing but amazing this is going to do well in eurovision you watch out Lithuania iceland are going to challenge you for the crown of EUROVISION

The song is original. The production is very cool.

[@tundrasheep]

thanx to netflix

[@Xellif]

I've actually knew Dadi from a previous project called Mixophrygian and I loved it back then, so a few weeks back when I found the song, I was like, I know him from somewhere, but where? and whooop there is where. Love him and the whole band.

[@ccovell09]

The fact that we could win it all makes me so happy! Next year will be my last year living in Iceland, let’s make it big by hosting Eurovision!!!!

[@mossmoss2019]

ccovell09 and bring hatari for an interval act pLEASE

[@ccovell09]

We will want to, but EBU probably won’t. If we get Bjork that’ll be an accomplishment lol

Actually I take it back - the girl in the black hair is Sanja Vučić from 2016 Eurovision my fave Serbian entry and she has an amazing voice - so I LIKE IT! Because of her :)

Daði always meant to sing this song in english.. But with, icelandic rules, the song has to be first auditioned in icelandic, so he slapped on icelandic lyrics.. But the lyrics in the english version are about his little babygirl

[@MrErikKlarenbeek]

They can winnn, love it! I think during the contest Lithuania wil be their competators in the way that they have to share votes from people who are into these fun genre songs. And if there comes an other remarkable song in an other genre then that song could win in stead. But this is in many ways so unique I would love to see Iceland win! I have a good feeling about it, it wil! Good luck Icelanndd!!

Williams' and Deban's analysis on point once more. What would ESC be without Wiwibloggs?

[@GlobalMetalApocalypse]

I feel he has George Ezra style vocals and as for those with glasses, it adds, don't make them wear contacts.

[@thepepperpot3809]

It's a conga beat, basically, with a disco bass line, and that's partially why it's so fun. Plus, they're all really good singers (I've heard music by the woman with the blue hair-her name is Hulda-and she's great with her own band). I've heard this song enough times now that I'm at the point where I'm hearing all the layers, and Daði 's just a great producer, too. I can't imagine that he won't get tons of work after this. I hope this song is released/promoted in the States after Eurovision, because it'd be such a great summer song!

[@unnur2504]

I was there watching it in IRL not on TV it was amazing. I’m from Iceland btw🇮🇸

[@marshmelows]

No polish, they're 10710 perfect!

[@Musimakeup]

OMG love it. I don't know if it's because the rest of the selection was soo bad, but I totally missed it before with the snippets. It's SOOO GOOD !!!! I totally agree it would maybe need a little something for the ending but it's just perfect...:-) :-) The level this year is so average that it totally could stand out ! Go Iceland :-) for the win !

[@kizi86]

We had 3 strong contenders in the final show, Daði (who Won ofc) Dimma And Iva. Dimma is a locally famous rock band, and their song was pretty good.. But Iva with her angelic voice, singing oculis videre (means in latin: eye can see) lva is blind, but she sees into your soul and touches it with her voice and transports you to another plane.please please check iva oculis videre out, and be prepared to involuntary cry rivers

Due to coronavirus concerns it is possible that the 2020 contest might be canceled. A final decision has not yet been made in the hopes that the outbreak will be under control at the time the contest takes place. If the contest gets canceled it may result in a potential Icelandic victory being taken away. Alternative scenarios are being considered in order to hold the contest in the wake of the outbreak.
