Silvía Night
Before the show made its début on TV, and when Silvía was still unknown, she used to upset the people she interviewed dramatically with her outrageous behaviour.[1] Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir, temporary singer of the band Ske and a young and unknown actress, and Gaukur Úlfarsson, decided to invent a character to adopt as an alter ego (cf.Silvía's boyfriend is the Argentinian alpha male Romario Hugo Estevez, performed by Icelandic actor Björn Thors.[2] Silvía's favorite foods are sushi and feta cheese and she aims for a career as a model, singer and a movie star.Her use of language includes heavy slang and she frequently uses English words and phrases while speaking in Icelandic, not always correctly.(In her public appearances at the Eurovision Song Contest, she spoke entirely in English, exaggerating her Icelandic accent even more than usual.)In February 2006, Silvía was voted Iceland's sexiest woman by the audience of the national radio station Rás 2.This decision by RÚV (The National Broadcasting Company) has been criticised, with one participating song writer filing a complaint, which was dismissed.In her appearance for the semi-finals, a great part of the audience and artists from the other countries reacted by booing her, not tolerating her supposedly provocative and unprofessional behaviour.", and showed moments of the "good side" of Night, which was her giving free copies of her albums, albeit with her telling them to scram afterwards.
