"As Silvia herself puts it: 'People tell me I remind them of Mother Teresa, only rich and beautiful.'"

Talented 23 year old actress/comedian Agusta Eva Erlendsdottir portraying TV host/singer Silvia Nott will represent Iceland at Eurovision Song Contest 2006.
Born on the 28th June 1982. She is a member of the band Ske and in 2005 her character Silvia Nott rose to infamy in Iceland.
Silvia Nott Saemundsdottir is 22 years old. She has entered the Icelandic pop scene with a bang in the summer of 2005 with her television show ‘See ya – with Silvia Night’. The whole country was instantly captivated by her unique mixture of charm, wit and flamboyance, and she received the Icelandic film and television award for best TV show and best TV personality of the year.
Silvia is a gifted recording artist, as well as a TV star. After her landslide victory in the national finals, she has been swamped with offers of record contracts from major labels. According to Silvia, her main goal in life is to spread hope, love and beauty, or as Silvia herself puts it: “People tell me I remind them of Mother Teresa, only rich and beautiful.’
Silvia is already in high demand all over the world and she has been making appearances, both live and on television, in a number of countries. Silvia’s larger-than-life personality is certainly made for fame. Her breathtaking appearance and uninhibited demeanour inspires both adoration as well as controversy. One thing is certain: wherever she appears, people take notice. She is definitely ready for the whole world, the only question is: Is the world ready for Silvia Night?
Ms Night cruised home in her national pre-selection, taking over 70% of the national vote. She is a character who plays a TV presenter, a type of on-the-go wacko, with a high pitched voice and a line in costume changes...a sort of Icelandic Hazel Irvine/Edina Monsoon...if you will. Anyway, as with the usual vein of Icelandics, they've gone to one of the extremes again, this year wandering into the Paul Oscar-like sexually disturbed realm. Expect 50 shades of Maybelline facial starrage, men with pink spandex shorts & cat fur, lots of manic bouncing and no votes from Turkey. Whether she's telling the gathered dress rehearsal audience to repeatedly "f#ck off", or indeed whether she's getting her bodyguards to physically eject journos who dare to look her in the eye, Ms Night will be upstaging everyone this year.
Of course the real excitement with this is not only whether she can actually sing, but also whether she's going to say the f-word in front of all seven of the impressionable Andorran viewing youths. I expect not but it should be fun watching Eva as she plays the obnoxious card all the way into the final.
"More Pauper than Cindi Lauper"
Silvia Night loves...Murun Buchstansangur
"Murun was a grey lump, not unlike a mouldy potato, who lived behind the skirting boards of a suburban English house. He didn't do much. In fact he very rarely did anything of any note. I think he once spilt some juice (my, that was an exciting episode). And that was the true genius of this 5-minute episodic excursion into the true boredom of suburban life. A superb theme tune, added to the wacko idea at the heart of this wonderful show".
