Hasn't Palmi Gunnarsson (ex member of Icy 1986) got old? How on earth did his song - a dreadful rock number - get through to the Icelandic final? Gleðibankinn it ain't. He's still grinning fit to split his face in half tho'.
OK, I've seen the performance of the Ho Ho Ho song and have difficulty believing the fans have got so excited about this piece of fluff. Actually the word 'fluff' is probably wrong as all the half-naked guys covered in gravy browning seem to have not a bit of fluff on their bodies. The girl singer clearly wasn't singing live, which makes me feel she must be absolutely crap & the song was way over the 3 minute limit. Whilst we all know that the concept of a 'song' contest is long over, it's a pity that the 'fans' are wetting themselves over a forgettable electro disco bore simply because of the backing 'musicians'. If you just listen to the studio version on the RUV website it makes you realise that it really is a very mediocre song. I've nothing against a bit of a show - I loved Silvia Night - but I feel possibly much better songs will be ignored in the Icelandic final simply because they are not as ridiculously OTT.
