Few days ago, Iceland confirmed the participation in Eurovision 2014. What do you think, who will represent them ?

 

[Mrm]

I say this every year, but... [h=1]Regína Ósk[/h]

I agree, but if she enters with smth like 2012 Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins entry - "Hjartað Brennur"..

And not like 2008 ESC entry with Eurobandid..

 

[A-lister]

Not sure what I want from Iceland tbh, but I hope sending Icelandic in 2013 will boost their self-confidence in their own language and continue with it as a trend...

 

[Sean]

I feel sorry for this thread

Yep, especially considering it bestowed their second best public result in ten years on them. Icelandic is a very underrated language IMHO, I always think it sounds alike to German in a way.

 

[PeterLPZ]

I hope for a great song as almost always. And please in Icelandic language. It´s sounds really wonderful.

 

[Magizian]

Of Monsters and Men would be a great choice!

 

[Starmania]

There's no way Of Monsters and Men would ever bid for ESC I'm cheering for Klara Ósk Elíasdóttir from last year. She'd really the best for me.

 

[ShoeFlo]

I hope we will see Ásgeir Trausti performing for Iceland

He is pretty talented

 

[Sean]

Ólafur Arnalds please!

 

[Romeo]

I'm hoping for a song like Yohanna 'Slow Down' I still love that song

[A-lister]

I don't recognize any of the names, but as for the past two years (especially in 2012) I really liked the Icelandic pre-selection. I have high hopes and hope that they'll once again send an entry in Icelandic language.

 

[Romeo]

I don't recognize any of the names,

I googled one and she either is, or has the same name as an Icelandic womens footballer
