And stage,and song,and voices,and rytm,all is great!

You know an ESC song is good and iconic when even after all these years you still remember the lyrics and sing along. After all this time, I've come to realize this is probably the most perfect and impressive vocal performance I have ever seen in ESC. It's literally flawless, as if you're listening to a studio edited version, except you're not. This is true talent.

Iceland is so underrated in the ESC.

I am so glad that i lived my childhood years in this type of music. 2000's music is the best!

Sounds exactly like the studio version, so dammm goood.

Those voices... This is what they call a 'powerhouse' (x2)!

This is honestly one of my all-time favourite songs ever from Eurovision! Amazing!

Belgrade 2008,,one of the best esc ever

This is my favourite Eurovision song EVER. Iceland should have won with this. I think I need to Holiday more in Iceland.

Eurovision 2008...what an interesting year! 11 years later and not a single year was even close to it. From interesting songs, to guilty plasures (I see you all my beloved Pirates of the Sea), to underrated songs. 2008 will remain forever a strong year in the ESC archive. So yeah...I'm kinda nostalgic! And now, straight to the point. I love this song, and I love all the performances because all of the singers were having so much fun and joy to sing for all the people around the world! Now...ESC is just like a machine...without substance and soul! GOOD JOB to ESC class of 2008! 🤗🤗🤗 PS: Take care all of you amazing people around the world!

I hope one day Eurodisco will make a real comeback in Eurovision, this is such a bop with excellent lyrics.

One of the few entries from 2008 I still listen to regularly, 10 years later and it's still an energetic and futuristic banger! Iceland definitely bounced back into action here after 3 years of not qualifying, I remember being shocked they didn't finish Top 10 and it was clear bloc voting was a huge problem. Eurovision fandom also seemed more fun, friendly and chilled back then, if this song was an entry this year it'd get shredded for being 'dated' and not sounding 'cultural' where did all the depression and snobbery kick in?

the 90s was oddly filled with ballads, idk why eurodance slept on it they started showing up in the early 2000s but not only does no one like the early 2000s but they quickly fell out of fashion

Also that woah-woah bit is so reliant on Hera's backing! 👌🏻😍💁🏼

2022 lyssnar än. Bästa sång någonsin

This song is still just so damn powerful!

seriously this song is so good, fridrik and regina's voices are so strong and i love hera bjork's backing vocals too. really deserved top 10 at least!

15 years later I come back here to see all the 43 performances of 2008 edition to rank them and Iceland finishes way higher than what it really got back then. This song objectively was top 10 material and their voices matched so perfectly. Such a small country in term of population and yet so much talent discovered through the years! I hope Iceland will win soon enough 🇮🇸

Icelands best entry!!! Still in love with this song😍 love from Italy🇮🇹
