Despite trailing Nilsson only very narrowly before the penultimate set of votes were announced, Selma's hopes of victory came to an abrupt end when Bosnia and Herzegovina awarded maximum points to Sweden and nothing at all to Iceland.

[citation needed] In 2005, Selma was again selected to represent Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv.

Other celebrities who were present included Baccara, Nanne, Bobbysocks and Nora Brockstedt.

Later the same night, she held an intimate concert at the popular nearby nightclub Smuget, where another Icelandic Eurovision participant, Paul Oscar, and the Norwegian Eurovision commentator, Jostein Pedersen, showed up.

[citation needed] Selma has dubbed several Disney princesses for the Icelandic Language, including Belle, Tiana, Kayley, Tzipporah, Odette, Giselle, and Megara.
