shock horror

Trying to fake shock over the Eurovision semifinals, just to play along with the rest of the country, over the fact that Silvia Night didnt make it to the finals.

I am no actor. At all.

Don't worry, Helga: what you lack in acting talent, you more than make up for in beauty and intelligence.

hí hí fyndið!

Ég átti nú aldrei von á að hún kæmist áfram eða amk. eitthvað síðan ég fór að telja það mjög ósennilegt.

This is a great shot. You look like a 1920's silent film actress feigning shock. :)

Ohhh, og eg sem aetladi ad horfa a Silviu a laugardaginn :/ Hef reyndar ekki sed neitt sem tengist thessari keppni herna i danmorku, fyrir utan eina til tvær auglysingar.

Silvia still makes me smile and crack up for no reason. I believe the pooohhing from the audience was almost meant to be a part of this whole Silvia act. This must be a world record in interactive theatre, involving the whole continent of Europe. She has actually transcended the real meaning of showmanship. SHE IS A SUPERSTAR !!!

dadooron said it ;)

hkvam says:

@dadooron and mun_kuvia: *lol* But the Finnish entry is great!

@Everyone: Thank you for the comments. IMO the Icelandic Eurovision adventure is a ridiculous one, it costs too much money no matter who is representing the country. This amount should be better spent, on healthcare equipment or for charities.
So my "falling flat on my backside and pretending to be shocked" play on this shows my opinion in a way and reflects the thinking of the nation. Everyone here seems so shocked each year that the Icelandic entry wasnt a success.
Anyways; I am a norwegian citizen so...na na na na na, we are in the finals! *lol*
