🇮🇸 Iceland selects their entry

Tonight is the night when Iceland selects a song. Söngvakeppnin, their national final, will contain 5 songs. Out of these 5, jury and televoter will select two to head to a superfinal. In that superfinal, televotes will be added to select the winner.

The show starts at 20:45 CET and you can watch it here or here (with English comments). These are the contestants:

nr. Title Artist(s)  
1 Biómynd VÆB
2 Scared of heights Hera Björk
3 Downfall Anita
4 Wild west Bashar Murad
5 Into the athmosphere Sigga Ózk

Sigga Ózk reached the final last year.

Hera Björk represented Iceland in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Je ne sais quoi”. She took part in 2007 (semifinals), was the runner up in the 2009 Danish Melodi Grand Prix and 3rd in Söngvakeppnin 2019.

The connection from Palestinian Bashar Murad with Iceland is the fact that, in 2019, he collaborated with Hatari in the song “Klefi/Samed”. This is, however, his first attempt in Eurovision. Bashar is the hot favourite to win tonight.

🇮🇹 Lucio Corsi will represent Italy

It has been a week since Sanremo 2025 has come to an end. With a total of 23.8% Olly won the whole show with his song “Balorda Nostalgia”. Usually most Sanremo winners accept the offer to represent Italy at Eurovision, however during a press conference on Sunday afternoon Olly stated that he wasn’t sure and needed some time to think about it. Italian broadcaster RAI gave him one week to think about his desicion. Today Olly has chosen not to go Basel.  Olly shared this statement on his social media: “For days I have been asking myself and asking everyone’s opinions. The answer is always the same: ‘In the end, you have to do what you feel.’ I firmly believe that I need to connect with everything that is happening to me before looking even further.” Lucio Corsi, the runner-up of this year’s Festival Di Sanremo, was very positive about representing Italy if Olly would decline. Lucio came second in the competition with a total of 23.4% together with his song “Volevo Essere Un Duro”. Rai announced that Lucio will wave the Italian flag at Eurovision with his Sanremo song. Italy is already in the Eurovision final, as it is one of the big 5 countries, but will still vote in the First Semi-Final.  This is Lucio’s song: Share
