From ballads to metal: Previewing Iceland’s Söngvakeppnin

JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

Iceland has finally got to its grand final, so it’s time for Michael and Io to give it a preview. They get their hands on the five entries trying to win Söngvakeppnin and share what they think about it all.

There’s even a bit of a disagreement with a listener!

Who are they cheering for?

Is the Queen still in charge?

Who has the voice but not the song?

Make sure you vote for your favourite too.
