My God, she's hideous. She's just a charmless, foul mouthed diva.

Hmm. There's a difference between staying in character in rehearsals and just being a rude bitch, and Silvia needs to realise this - and that euro fans (esp. the Greek ones) can start to boo.

I think the point was to get people booing and shouting. Iceland like all the small nations need people talking about the act, good or bad. Just look what happend last year, great song, no promo, no one noticed it.
Getting the women removed from the press conference was a genius stunt to pull,
Can't wait to see how she is going to top this in the 2nd rehearsal,
Try looking at "Treble in Iceland" on Youtube. priceless!

I suspect the old bitch will get herself disqualified in the semi and bask in the publicity and glory of being chucked out, rather than not winning the contest.
She's an icon tho.

As I expected, Silvía's behaviour has caused all manner of hysteria on the Eurovision forums. Many people are callinmg her behaviour disgusting, saying she should be disqualified, particuarly for calling Treble "whores". They are also saying that Agústa should do a press conference out of character to explain Silvía's behaviour.
I think this all stems from the fact that different countries across Europe all have different levels of humour. Some people get Silvía, others don't. The way I see it is that she has to stay in character, that's the whole point of her song, and her - she's supposed to be completely obnoxious, as the character is a piss take of the celebrity world. If Agústa came out of character, it would rather spoil the whole thing.
Anyway it all seems to be working as she's getting a lot of press attention. Whether the average viewer in Europe get the joke remains to be seen - we all know in the past Europe has had no sense of humour - they voted Everyody to win in 2001 didn't they?

I 100% Agree, but maybe after Eurovision if she does well. The latest thing seems to be she has sent the same letter to the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian & Finnish media (and probably more countries) saying they should support her becuase her grandparents come from these countries. Best quote so far: As a final thought on the contest itself, Ms. Night said that she would like there to be a better selection process to stop the people who are taking the competition as a joke from competing. Priceless!!!www.esctoday.com/news/read/6132

The fact that so many people are completely missing the point of the joke makes it all the more entertaining. The more this goes on, the more I want her to win just to fuck off the people with no sense of humour.

She's been rehearsing again and it looks like a marvellous car-crash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP2-73Kv74sThat tube of glitter is hilarious. Moreso because it looks like a big glittery dump landing on her. She had better make it though. I have just put an urgent appeal on my weblog to get Iceland, Sweden or Germany to pole position this year...

God, I think she's hilariously fantastic but she does happen to scare the shit out of me.
And christ, that song sounds like Britney.
Edit: Just remembered who she reminds me of, and now I will be thinking a her as the mad, pop version of Bjork.

You know I have a feeling it's all going to go horribly wrong for Silvía and she won't even make the final. A case of hisotry repeating? It reminds me a bit of Angelica Agarbush from last year...

Which works for her. I always thought the point of Silvia is that she thought she was this amazing diva when she was a bit crap really. Hence not qualifying would allow her to say "well, Europe doesn't know a star when it sees one" etc.

TERRIBLE NEWS FOR ICELAND!!
After a careful concideration the management of SilviaNott.com has decided to stop supporting the singer and close the fansite. Once a promising singer, now an embarrassment for the country. We, the owners, believe that we cannot continue our support of the singer. We would like to thank the thousends of fans who have visited us and we hope that we will see you again in the near future. For further information please contact Astros - astros@birgittaworld.com

(Birgitta)world as in the Irafar singer, She was in the 2006 show in iceland & lost to Silvia so there is no shock there they don't like Silvia.
Off topic alert!! Have Irafar ever been mentioned on these boards? 3 Excellent albums.

www.SilviaNight.com is still going though, although it doesn't have much content yet. The biography is rather good though...
