I've found that it's become tiresome to watch, because the whole voting process is motivated more by political connections than the actual quality of the song; if you're not the flavour of the month, you don't really stand a chance.
Having said that, the Icelandic piece you linked was a beautiful song.

I know, most Eurovision stuff is just garbage, but there have been some real gems in recent years. (Anastasia Prikhodko, Urban Symphony, whoever the heck sang Opa, etc)
Yohanna I think is one of the best singers to ever compete on Eurovision, but she had the bad luck to compete during a stellar year that turned out Prikhodko, Urban Symphony, Rybak, etc, etc. That was some pretty stiff competition. I have no idea how she couldn't have gotten Iceland's nomination this year though. Every song I have seen this year stinks, so she would probably have had no problem winning.
