Iceland 2024 Hera Björk Scared of Heights Palestinian artist Bashar Murad is rumoured to be competing. This is why the odds have shortened very quickly. Full lineup will be announced on 27 January. |

Quite possible if he wins then that Iceland just won't compete? Based on the discussion I've seen around Iceland uncoupling Söngvakeppnin from Eurovision, meaning that the winner of Söngvakeppnin is not automatically the Eurovision entrant.
Depends on the song though and Bashar's personal reasons for entering. Does seem like he would be a heavy favourite to win the NF if in. |

I feel like he would compete, for it to be more of a statement?

Interesting how Ukraine are 2nd faves when their mass vote declined quite a bit last year

If Teresa & Maria wins Vidibir (which I’m fairly sure it will), that will likely do a lot better than Heart Of Steel did last year so I can see why they have such good odds.

Bashar Murad's collab with Hatari 'Klefi/Samed' (their first release after being in Eurovision) is a banger btw. I guess there's a good chance he won't go to Eurovision if he wins this though.

Musically, Wild West definitely does not sound like anything approaching a winner. Many have argued that Stefania was maybe boosted to the win by “support voting” where it might have come at least 4th/5th anyway on musical merit, but I don’t think Wild West would have such a strong base to start from, as it doesn’t sound massively competitive in its own right. Maybe the odds for Iceland will calm down now.
Nice to see Hera Björk back! It’s like a Eurodance Sorry Not Sorry in parts. This post has been edited by gooddelta: 28th January 2024, 09:49 AM |

My rating:
1. Fljúga burt (9/10) 2. Love You (9/10) 3. Ró (7/10) 4. Um allan alheiminn (7/10) 5. Fiðrildi (6/10) 6. Downfall (6/10) (why does this sound like More Than You Know? ) 7. Wild West (6/10) 8. Scared of Heights (6/10) (this sounds like a Becky Hill track in a bad way ) 9. Þjakaður af ást (5/10) 10. Movie Scene (3/10) Top 5: 7.6/10 Overall: 6.4/10 Note: The better version is indicated in this ranking. This year is definitely better than the last for sure. Wild West does not sound like it would sweep the contest at all. |

Livid that Blankiflur didn't qualify Hope she qualifies as wildcard! The staging concept is saur cool!! The vocals though are quite shaky.

I just tuned in on söngvakeppnin, I think there's a final voting between Hera Björk and Bashar Murad now.

Absolutely delighted Hera won. Well done Iceland. Wouldn’t want all the political rubbish that went along with Bashar

I see Iceland are one of the early bookies faves but I really can't see this been any higher than low top 10 at the very best.
