Söngvakeppnin voor Ijslandia 2

Here will be the page for Söngvakeppnin voor Ijslandia. I'll upload a playlist soon!

Söngvakeppnin voor Ijslandia is a newly created National Selection process organised by the Ijslandian Broadcasting Service to determine the Ijslandian entry in the upcoming Plastics Song Contest. The contest will consist of eight entries, and each entry will be awarded points from the international juries and the Ijslandian national televoting. The juries will allocate points in a 12-10-8-6-4-2-1-0 format with their top songs being awarded more points. After all of the juries have voted, the results from the Ijslandian national televoting will be revealed, and a portion of the votes from the public will be added to the points from the juries. The amount of points awarded from the televoting will carry the same weight as the amount of points awarded from the juries. The act that receives the most points form the jury and the televoting will be the Ijslandian representative at the eighth Plastics Song Contest.

The show was held at the famous Härða theatre in Wrekjaveek and hosted by Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir and Kyungran Kim, with Fawad Khan also joining them to translate the proceedings in Hindi. The show was opened by Hildur Kristin Stefánsdóttir and the interval act was Aurélie.

"Buddhu Sa Mann" and "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu" were the two main songs in contention during the proceedings. Both songs placed well with the televoting, but it ultimately came down to the international juries. While "Buddhu Sa Mann" received more points than "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu" from the Ijslandian jury, the song ultimately lost to the latter thanks to votes from Lyrisia and De Cymru. When it was apparent that "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu" had won, the audience started throwing tomatoes and cloves when the artists took the stage to accept the honor of representing Ijslandia. The Queen was on site to assent to the song representing the country, but expressed that the Ijslandian people be given a higher percentage of the point total in the future. The Ijslandian Parliament is currently proposing a new format for the next Söngvakeppnin voor Ijslandia, but the Queen has since stated that Söngvakeppnin voor Ijslnadia may not be necessary at all. Regardless, "Tum Hi Ho Bandhu" sung by Kavita Seth and Neeraj Shridhar will represent Ijslandia with Saif Ai Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty on stage to lip sync to the song.
