Yeah, I'm gonna throw out some world class Lithuanian artists that would put boys like Shawn to shame.

And of course I forgot Björk It may be easier for Icelandic artists to break through in Denmark, but they do in fact have a pretty strong music scene. I'm glad Iceland didn't choose Of Monsters and Men, because I would be biased as fuck. I bought a ticket to their concert before they even went up for sale with a purchase code that you had to contact the organisers to get Sadly, it got postponed from July 15th to 2021 July, so my watch starts anew.

You are right, but I wasn't surprised that someone selected them as their song and the band themeselves was controversial in ESC.
