Poll Results: María Ólafsdóttir should win Söngvakeppni with “Unbroken”

Don’t worry: the rumbles you hear coming from up north do not signal another eruption from Eyjafjallajökull. It’s merely the sound of Iceland’s Eurovision hopefuls warming up for tonight’s final of Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2015! They’ve got powerful voices, and a few of them have powerful songs to go with them.

Since January 30 we’ve received a total of 883 votes in our poll, “Who should win Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2015?” It was close at the top, but María Ólafsdóttir has won with her song “Lítil skref” (Unbroken). She earned 146 votes, or around 17% of all those cast. That put her just nine votes ahead of the duo Sunday with their song “Fjaðrir” (Feathers). It’s sweet and inspirational versus mysterious and avant-garde. And we like it that way!

You can review the complete results below. What do you think?  Is it a two-horse race as our readers suggest? Are these the top two songs? Let us know in the comments box below.
