SHAME! EVERLASTING SHAME!
How could you let such a good song go to waste?!

I hate to break it to you, but that garbage you picked is not gonna win you anything.

[Disclaimer to the mods: No, I am not really insulting the Icelandese.)

Is that not what the Eurovision Song Contest has become lately, though?

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.

I must have watched that video 10 times in a row, it was hilarious. And then I noticed Mr. Ginger's bunny hug had some written design on it that said, "Hooters." Made it 10 times funnier, lol.
