Vienna 2015: Super Weekend #4!

No less than ten selections are taking place this weekend - including two national finals and Sanremo!

ICELAND
Iceland will be selecting their Eurovision entry tonight. The show will take place at 19:45 CET and be seen here. Who should win? I did a little review and you can read that HERE
  • Haukur Heiðar Hauksson - Milljón augnablik 
  • María Ólafsdóttir - Lítil skref
  • Sunday - Fjaðrir
  • Cadem - Fyrir Alla
  • Björn and friends – Piltur og stúlka
  • Elín Sif Halldórsdóttir – Í kvöld
  • Friðrik Dór – Í síðasta skipti
This blogger would be delighted to see Sunday win - although I expect the Icelanders will opt for either Cadem or Björn and friends.. but who knows!

The winner will maybe go to Eurovision but if they decline, a special jury will select the Italian representative although it won't necessarily be from tonight's participants. Arisa, who openly wanted to go to Copenhagen, said she'll be up for it IF the winner of Sanremo isn't interested. More of this weeks goings on here. Nek and Il Volo are joint favourites to win tonight!
