Rúnar Eff could be in Kyiv now, representing Iceland with his song “Make Your Way Back Home”. But our SongHunt rules only allow songs that didn’t win their national finals, but got a lot of love in our Eurovision chat. This love took the song to the heats, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and now it’s one of the twelve candidates in the grand SongHunt final. What is SongHunt about, you may wonder? Well, for those who don’t know already: It’s about finding the best national final song of the Eurovision season!
From Söngvakeppnin to SongHunt
Back on 11 March, Iceland held the final of Söngvakeppnin 2017. Seven entries competed for a ticket to Kyiv. Svala won the Icelandic final, and thus became the country’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest. Svala’s song “Paper” also got a decent mark in our chat, with an average score of 6.50, but only songs that didn’t win a national final can proceed to our own hunt for the best song of the Eurovision season: SongHunt.
In the end, two Söngvakeppnin entries got enough love in our chat to proceed to the SongHunt heats. One didn’t reach the quarter-finals stage: “Again” by Arnar Jónsson & Rakel Pálsdótir. The other one, however, has made it all the way through to our final:
Rúnar Eff – Make Your Way Back Home
