Eurovision 2012 Entrants: Iceland

I'm keeping with the Scandinavian theme with the Icelandic entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.  As you may well know from earlier posts, I've had more than a passing interest in Iceland's contest this year. 
So why don't we take a look at the song that won.


Gréta Salóme and Jónsi  "Mundu eftir mér"


The voting was rather close in Iceland, and this song is a rather dark, pop number, rather reminiscent of a countrified Evanescence.  It's not fantastic, but it's not half bad either.

But then again, I keep getting distracted by Jónsi.  The dude is wearing a string tie.

In Iceland, string ties may be hip and cool, but in the states, the most famous string tie wearer is the gentleman pictured below:

Although Eurovision is chocked full of bad sartorial choices, for some reason a handsome Icelandic male looking like a refugee from Bonanza is just a step to far.
