Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsin is looking incredibly strong this year! Why? Because Yohanna and Magni Asgeirsson are competing! The names have just been published by RUV! Oh, and Birgitta Haukdal is back too - but I'm not so exited about her! It's all about Yohanna! Here is a list of the participants...

The semi finals will take place 25th and 26th January and the grand final will be held 9th February! I don't know when the songs will be released - that's not been announced. Yohanna competed in 2009 with Is It True? only losing out to Alexander Rybak. She will sing Þú, which means You - her boyfriend wrote the song for her! I hope it's as good as her ESC entry and Nott... <3

Magni Asgeirsson has competed in the Icelandic selection for some years now... Here is his attempt from 2012 - he came 3rd. Awesome...

And Birgitta Haukdal, but I hope her song will be better than this...
