Eurovision 1999 Iceland

Iceland's entry to the 1999 Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem, Israel.
Selma - "All Out of Luck"
For me and the rest of Iceland, Eurovision 1999 was all about Selma and her happy and incredibly catchy pop song “All Out of Luck”. It's easy to call it one of the most modern songs in the competition, and it made us something we had never understood the concept of being before; hot favourites. When Iceland were touted as possible winners across the board, the whole country went into pre-Eurovision euphoria. A major TV outlet sold out under the promise that if Selma won, every TV bought on Eurovision day would be refunded. There was very little to shake our hope; “All Out of Luck” is a super-catchy and uplifting dance pop ballad, and it was very well presented on stage. This was the one time (so far!) when we realistically could've won, and you wouldn't believe how crushed we were when we were eventually beaten. But this is still one of our best entries ever, and one the Icelandic nation is still very proud of.
