Surviving Iceland

I have to say I was a bit surprised, but still I´m very happy about the results. Yohanna did a great job, and deserved this. I am very happy that Iceland did not get 1st place, then we would be going through the second financial crash here in Iceland, there is no way Iceland would be able to have the Eurovision competition here in Iceland .. But I spent last night with the family watched Eurovision and had a very relaxing and nice night. I do think that the whole thing around this competition has become less exciting, it sort of feels like everyone is in a major hurry to just get it done. But this made a nice night, and getting the best place for Iceland - second - was just great as well. I read somewhere that people feel like Yohanna is singing about the financial crisis in Iceland "Is it true - Is it you", and to tell you the truth, when I first saw this song on the TV before the competition and seeing the big ship behind her there, I giggled. It sort of looks like she is singing about the "Útrásarvíkingar" as we call them, the vikings who went abroad to take over the world .. Icesave etc.
