The last semi-final included five more hopefuls trying to reach the final on Saturday 6th of February. The two songs that managed to do so were the ones with the highest number of sms-and televotes (qualifiers in bold):
Arnar Jónsson - Þúsund Stjörnur
Sjonni Brinck - Waterslide
Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi
Steinarr Logi Nesheim - Every Word
Anna Hlín - Komdu Á Morgun Til Mín
Hera Björk was the runner-up of the Danish national selection last year with Someday and she has provided backing vocals for Iceland in the 2008 and 2009 Eurovision Song Contests. Arnar Jónsson and Sjonni Brinck have also tried their luck in previous Icelandic selections.
The line-up of the Icelandic final now looks like this:
Íris Hólm - The One
Matthías Matthíasson - Out Of Sight
Hvanndalsbræður - Gleði Og Glens
Jógvan Hansen - One More Day
Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi
Sjonni Brinck - Waterslide
You can listen to all of the candidates in the official website of the Icelandic selection. Next Saturday 30th of January, there will be a warm up show where the six songs of the final will be summed up.
Iceland will try to win the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time this year in Norway, the country where they debuted in the 1986 contest. Last year they came 2nd in Moscow with Yohanna's Is It True?
