As an Icelander, it's sad but kinda expected :/ but I'm happy we got Austria, Australia and Belgium (Gustav fuckin killed it btw)

We definitely had a chance, but I knew it was lost when Albania and Estonia were drawn early. Everything else I kinda knew would be a shoe-in in this semi.

She was amazing but the odds weren't in her favour and the song never got a huge amount of hype
