The Silvia Night
"Congratulations" Video

Iceland had its national final on 18 February in Reykjavík and has chosen Silvia Night or Silvía Nótt to represent the nation in Athens with the song Congratulations (Til hamingju Ísland in the original Icelandic). The song tells the story of how Silvia will win the Eurovision Song Contest and how she is better than everyone else. The song was considered a favourite ever since the competing songs were announced. It is written by Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir & Gaukur Úlfarsson and composed by Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson.

Silvía Nótt is a fictional character in Sjáumst með Silvíu Nótt, an extremely popular Icelandic semi-reality show on the TV channel Skjár 1. Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir, singer for band Ske and an actress, and Gaukur Úlfarsson decided to invent a character that brought out all the worst things in human behaviour in modern society. Silvía's personality is highly affected by narcissism and she sees herself as the most famous and talented person walking on the planet Earth. Her full name is Silvía Nótt Sæmundsdóttir and she is 22 years old.
