In February 2006, Silvía was voted Iceland's sexiest woman by the audience of the national radio station Rás 2. Ágústa Eva came in fourth place. Silvía Night received an Edda Award (Icelandic Film and TV Awards) in 2005 for the Best Comical Show of the Year and as the best fictional character of the Year. Silvía Night was Iceland's participant in Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Congratulations", after winning the Icelandic national finals. The song was originally in Icelandic, called "Til hamingju Ísland" ("Congratulations Iceland"). The Icelandic lyrics, heavily filled with slang, talk about how lucky Icelanders are that she was born in Iceland and that she is going to win the contest, because she's better than all the other contestants (see 'The Character' above). The song was controversial because it was being distributed on the Internet before the competition, which was contrary to the rules of the competition. Silvía Night was nonetheless not banned from the competition. This decision by RÚV (The National Broadcasting Company) has been criticised, with one participating song writer filing a complaint, but the case was dismissed. Silvía's song came 13th in the semi-final held on 18 May in Athens, leaving her out of the finals on 20 May. During her presence in Athens, Silvía behaved provocatively and rudely to technicians and journalists, calling them "Fucking amateurs." During the press conference she ordered the journalists not to look her in the eyes. One of them did and she ordered her "bodyguard" to take her out. The bodyguard obeyed and carried the "journalist" (who was an actress planted among the press) on his shoulders. She shouted on stage "Fuck you, fucking retards" which was misreproduced as "fucking Greeks" by the media; the singer was described as actually problematic and rude (the same reaction she received at home before becoming famous) and that she had offended Greece and its people. Silvia also claimed the only reason Carola qualified for the Grand Final was that she had sex with the head of the EBU in a car before the competition. Asked if she was serious, she replied "Yes. I saw them in a car right outside my hotel room. What she's done is terrible ... it's her fault I didn't qualify. She's been copying me ever since I got here". Another controversy surrounds the English lyrics to her Eurovision song, "Congratulations".
