Iceland ESC Selection (Söngvakeppnin) 2024 Top 10 With Comments (After Show)

There is a lot going on with Iceland. We still aren't 100% sure that they're competing at Eurovision. My feeling is that decision will be dependent upon them being able to send the artist they want to send. Obviously, these reasons are non-music related and, seriously, I have a lot to say about RÚV's behaviour throughout this Eurovision season...

But, this is a music video and let's focus on the music for now. Iceland have a good selection here by their standards and a huge step up from what have been poor selections for the past two years. Two of my three favourites have already been eliminated due to headscratching voting (my bottom two qualified, go figure), but the favourite, that is still in the running and in my top three, is, all distractions aside, a good song that should give them a legitimate shot to qualify under any circumstances.

Because of the non-musical reasons, I'm torn whether I actually want it to win because of everything that's going to follow. But, that's a shame, and I'll still root for it as long as I can.
