#4 ICELAND Sjonni's Friends - Coming Home

Iceland gets douze points for having the most heartwarming story of this year's contest.

When semi-finalist Sjonni Brink died of a stroke before Iceland's national final (he was only 36), his friends decided to sing his song for him - and won.

Now they're going to perform this (slightly cheesy) little number on stage in Dusseldorf.


So, in this spirit, a note to my loved ones: if I ever achieve my dream to perform at Eurovision but cark it before I get there, you have to be ready to take over.

No excuses.
