Eurovision 2017: Iceland

Could a song be too cool to succeed at the Eurovision Song Contest?


Svala   "Paper"

Svala is a musical name in Iceland.  She has been active in the Icelandic music industry since the mid-80s and   She is currently a judge on the Icelandic verison of "The Voice" and she splits her time between Iceland and Los Angeles.

Svala brings that cross-continent vibe to Eurovision and I suspect the 80s style lighting and art pop fashions are choices that are not going to translate well to the viewing public.   I like the personal style she brings but I suspect they are going to be too niche to appeal to the wider audience.  This is not going to qualify when lesser quality songs will succeed.
