Iceland: Looking Good Ari!

He’s as cute as a button and has the voice of an angel, but Iceland’s Ari Ólafsson has more behind that facade than meets the eye.

Michael had a chat to him about his Eurovision song Our Choice and the work that goes into getting ready for the contest.

Songwriter Thorunn Clausen also talked about the meaning behind the song, and warning people not to judge books by their covers.

Catch Ari singing Our Choice in Semi 1 on Wednesday 9 May on SBS:

  • Live at 5am AEST
  • Prime time at 7:30pm AEST
