Eurovision 2024: #29

29. ICELAND Hera Björk - "Scared of heights" 37th place

Decade Ranking: 110/153 [Above ReDDI, below Tix]

That awkward moment you're halfway through the next update and realize you skipped over someone. 😬

Sadly, I did NOT feel it coming. 😔 Iceland is another one of those cases of "I probably could have liked them, if not for a few detrimental flaws." I mean it's Hera Björk with wine mom disco. There are worse things in life.

Unfortunately Hera suffered from not only her dated song being completely outclassed by everyone in the first semi (bad enough by itself), but also by *other* mom disco anthems from previous years and nfs, including Heaven's not that far tonight, High Heels in the Neighbourhood (lmfao) and Hera's own 2010 song. "Scared of Heights" is not an unpleasant song to listen to, but that's about as baseline as the genre gets, rly.

Combine that song with a lifeless act forever stuck with no movement and a bunch of wideshots at key moments (how did they make it look WORSE compared to SVK's already lowbudget affair?), like yeah, we know where this is headed. It's the "Unstoppable Object Collides Into An Unmovable Wall" of hopeless last placers. There's nothing that Hera could have done to avoid a red lantern, not with that song and that act working so hard to undermine her efforts.

I do have a bit of sympathy for her though. Even a suboptimal Hera Björk is still Hera fucking Björk (vocally excellent and decently charming) , and the bullshit she had to endure simply to be allowed to sing at the Tuesday show was uncalled for.

After SVK's... darksided results - which Hera won because the Anti-Pro-Palestine Icelanders thought SHE had the best chance of beating Bashar although (1) have you seen Bashar perform? Man cannot serve for his life (2) um, Sigga was right there (3) Hera's song was co-written by a Palestinian? (leave it to the Israel sympathisers to be misinformed, incoherent and smugly incorrect - defo, abso looking at YOU, J*n B*rs.) (4) GO TIFFANY!!!! INTO THE ATMOSPHERE!!! - she then had to negotiate with RÚV in order to go to Malmö (although she WON the SELECTION!!) . This as per the rules Iceland had established for SVK2024. RUV's weird decision to play for the moral high ground, but only partially. Like dudes, if you're going to be antsy about Israel being there, then don't hold SVK? and if you do hold, don't be like "WELL WE MIGHT JUST WD ANYWAY [if the wrong person [anyone but Bashar] wins]" like fuck off? Either you make a statement by INTERNALLY picking Bashar, or you don't make one at all by not including him in SVK. Pick a fucking lane.

Once she arrived in Sweden, well... Remove Iceland from this year and everything that went down still goes down in the precisely the same fashion, with the exact same placements for everyone else. The only true difference is that KAN have one fewer delegation to target with passive aggression. Whether Hera went to Eurovision or not made no difference to the contest itself which is some exponential level of irrelevance that she does not deserve to have attached to her legacy.

So all-in-all, a sour return for Hera, but the one Iceland deserved after they trashed their EXCELLENT national final for the sake of questionable priorities, and then picked the INCORRECT winner to boot ("Wild West" wasn't fantastic and (thankfully) wouldn't have won ESC, but it is a much better song than "Scared of Heights" was. ) The Icelandic shitshow was a prélude to what was to follow in Malmö. Events which, just like Hera's participation in this year, probably should have been avoided by competent leadership.

Updated illustrations - Part 1 ⭐ ----------- (Part 2)

I started preparing my illustrations from the 1st day of rehearsals so I could depict the artists in their approximate costumes. However, the final look worn in the semifinals and the grand final can look completely different from what was worn during the rehearsals.

This is why I am continuing my mini-series by updating my illustrations to depict the artists in their final looks. Some changes might be minor, but some artists surprised Eurofans with new outfits!

I started drawing Teya after the 1st rehearsal, where she was wearing her lilac dress together with the knee-high boots. However, after that, she appeared barefoot for both of her semi-final and grand-final performances. She also added waves to her hair for the grand final show.

Bambie's outfit got an upgrade between the 1st rehearsal and both of the shows. Their wig got slicked back and the outfit was updated with some feathers around the collar and their shoulders (probably to better hide their second outfit underneath it). They also had a more subtle make-up for their main performance.

The 2nd rehearsal photos were released as I posted Luna's outfit and we could see that they decided to go with two coloured cones on their shoulders for the main show. The make-up was also upgraded by adding a second red line above her eyes.

Just like in Luna's case - it was too late for me to change Baby Lasagna's illustration before I posted it. Baby Lasagna experimented with his look for the 1st rehearsal by slicking his hair back, though they decided to go with the more familiar hairstyle in the end setting on the same one he usually rocks.

Hera Björk put faith in her followers by creating a poll on Instagram, where she asked whether she should let her hair loose or have a ponytail during her performance. She kept her promise and appeared with a ponytail and an upgraded suit.

8)Iceland-Hera Björk-Scared of Heights.

Not bad dance song. Hera was a little nervous, but she did a great work. You can listen this, where you have journey on a car. I give 7 points from 12.

The perfomance from first semifinal.

Eurovision 2024 - Iceland - Hera Björk - Scared of Heights

Iceland Has Decided!

Well, well, well. We've made it to the second to last selection weekend! We have Portugal and Sweden wrapping up next week, and a little later, I will be writing about the song Serbia chooses. But now, we have Iceland as they had Söngvakeppnin occur, and now, we have a winner!

Iceland is sending..."Scared of Heights" by Hera Björk!

WHAT? That was one of my favorites! I'm super excited for this entry (I've heard the Icelandic version and have yet to hear the English version that Hera will be sending to Eurovision). Especially since I think Hera is one of the returning artists that fans have wanted to see make a return! So now we have that.

Congratulations and Welcome Back, Hera! I can't wait to see this performance in May!

Iceland🇮🇸

Has falling in love made you ‘Scared of Heights’? It’s Hera Björk for Iceland!📶💞

Hera is a very familiar face to Eurofans, as she represented Iceland back in 2010 with her iconic song ‘Je ne sais quoi’. This time she is back with the pop single ‘Scared of Heights’ after she won the Icelandic Söngvakeppnin 2024.

'Scared of Heights’ is an example of good songwriting. It has a great story and it is full of metaphors describing the feeling of being scared of falling in love. Hera will have a tough task in the first semifinal but she’s got a good place at the running order, which hopefully will land her into the 10 ten that evening.

Eurovision Fact #570:

Hera Björk has won the Icelandic national final Söngvakeppnin, with her song "Scared of Heights." However, RÚV, the Icelandic national broadcaster, has yet to decide if it will be sending Björk and her song to Eurovision in May. This decision is expected to come in the near future.
