Alla leið, the Icelandic preview show for the Eurovision Song Contest, continued this evening, reviewing this year’s entries.

JJ from Austria has topped the rankings in the second episode of Alla leiĂ° 2025, the Icelandic preview show for the Eurovision Song Contest. The show is hosted by Felix Bergsson, four guest jurors voting in each episode.

In a change to previous years, instead of awarding points to the songs, they were ranked between 1 and 16. During the course of the show the two panels shared their views on the songs agreeing between each pair on the placement of the songs.

Iceland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986 and, aside from 2 years of relegation in 1998 and 2002, has participated every year since. The contest is incredibly popular in Iceland, regularly being one of the most-watched programs of the year. Iceland has yet to win the contest but has finished in 2nd on two occasions. In 1999, Selma missed out on victory in Jerusalem by 17 points, and in 2009 Yohanna became the most successful Icelandic entrant ever finishing 2nd in the final with the song “Is it True?”. She scored 218 points, yet still finished 169 points behind the runaway winner Norway.
