And completing a Nordic night


Iceland started their very own 2007 song search about an hour after Norway's started. They're holding 3 semi-finals leading to a grand final on 17 February (The same night as Finland's). The Icelandic public vote for their favourite 3 songs to pass through each semi. The winners of the first semi are below. As the entire population of the country is only 250.000 don't hold out much hope for anything too amazing just yet. Things'll probably get better for Iceland once they've picked a song, had it remixed and translated into English in time for the contest.
Bríet Sunna Valdemarsdóttir - Blómabörn
Ok, so she struggles on the high notes, but the melody is pretty good to this.

Sigurjón Brink - Áfram
Good looking bloke sings some acoustic rock. Not bad, but not sure what the little stomps at the end are all about!

Matthías Matthíasson - Húsin Hafa Augu
Oh why does the guy with the best voice have to be a heffer?
