⏪️ Throwback Thursday Diljá — Power (Iceland 2023)

She had amazing vocals (and power). No way Poland qualified over this. This really deserved that final spot, and probably the most underrated song that Iceland sent in recent years. I think it would’ve qualified if they had a different draw, but it’s still what it is. Iceland 2023 for the bot

It's an entry that works on paper for me, but everything just sort of went wrong. The vocals were a little too much, the instrumental was weirdly mixed and (ironically) not really powerful and the stage looked so empty. Also (this is a niche concern but still) personally I think this is one of the entries that were most screwed over by the higher framerate of the camera used in 2023, it looked SO uneasy on the eye to me.
