Iceland, a Scandinavian country which is yet to win the Eurovision Song Contest have been relatively successful since the two semi-final format was initiated back in 2008, noting that qualification has been assured each time. In 2009, their success peaked with a first runner-up finish as Yohanna sang her heart out to the ballad Is It True? which had achieved the maximum twelve points from Malta amongst other nations. RÚV, the broadcaster responsible for the participation of Iceland is extremely satisfied with the results especially from a spectators' view noting that most of the population tune in to watch the annual showcase. Eyþór Ingi Gunnlaugsson, the artist who represented Iceland in this years' spectacle had won the national selection as Söngvakeppnin beating a number of favourites including former representatives; Yohanna and Birgitta. Ég á Líf, composed by Örlygur Smári to the lyrics Pétur Örn Guðmundsson was the first entry presented…

During this years' edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, Malta finished in eighth place thanks to an astonishing performance of the song Tomorrow co-written by Boris Cezek and Dean Muscat with vocals provided by Gianluca.

Malta and the…

In recent years, the track record of the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest has not really been all that impressive noting that they have finished towards the bottom of the scoreboard for two consecutive years despite enlisting the likes of Bonnie Tyler and Engelbert Humperdinck. The British Broadcasting Corporation, responsible for the participation of the nation in the prestigious music event has been said to be out of touch with the music industry and rather than sending someone fresh with a brand new outlook and possibly create a career, they look to the greats who are indeed looking for something to add to their impressive experiences. It seems that one of the first artists to put her name forward just days following the disappointment of Bonnie Tyler with Believe In Me was none other than English artist; Little Boots.
