Iceland has revealed the song they will likely choose for the contest yesterday, that is to say the winner of their national contest Söngvakeppnin 2024, we still don't know if they will participate because they don't want to compete with Israel AFAIK, but I really like this song, I think it's my favorite this year, up to now. I hope they will decide to participate because they could reach the Top5 or maybe the Top3 quite easily with this entry IMO

Hera Björk - Scared of Heights

It's almost a pity Bashar Murad who was tipped to represent Iceland this year lost to this.
From what I understand his lyrics had nothing to do with politics, but the sheer fact that he's Palestinian was surely something in response to Israel still participating in the contest.
It's been such a long time since we saw some good action in Eurovision.

Yes I agree with you, it would definitely have been a better move to address this controversy than to boycot the event or to threat to do it. But if she won it's for some reasons. Many people of the audience are women of her generation or older, and many younger ones could have her shape. The lyrics of the song are universal and romantic but they are very feminine too. and the music is good. So I think she's very likely to get many votes
