Nordic expert panel dissing the ESC contributions

It seems to be a co-production between the Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic and Norwegian TV companies - going through all participants for the ESC (Eurovision Song Contest) - and so far, it's been quite amusing!
Although I'm still trying to figure out what the Icelandic person Eirikur Hauksson was speaking - it was far too understandable (to a Swede) than Icelandic, but it still didn't quite sound like Norwegian or Danish (both mostly/sometimes understandable to a Swede).
And the preliminary votes from the Nordic expert panel are:
1. Iceland
2. Norway
3. Denmark

Yep, that's correct. Though there was some scandal about them already.

The German company that released their CD was caught buying the CDs back to get the band to the top lists or something like that.

Now I know who participates for Denmark And I'm a little sorry that Sanne Salomonsen [Danish rock singer] did not win the Swedish contest. Would have compensated for the time a Norwegian singer sang for Denmark...
(and that was the only time I've been at a pan-European party watching this event. Were we Danes ridiculed for not having a Dane singing??? 
)
I guess 9 and 11 will sit in front of the TV - if they're near one that night - and that I won't...

We had a Swedish singer one year. she didn't do too good. I hope this year we won't get through semifinals. It's the most awful song, methinks.

Well, one of Norway's successes was a joint venture between Norway and Sweden, after all... 'La de svinge, la de rock'n roll..'

Several months ago it was actually rumoured that the Swedish band Alcazar had been approached by the BBC with a request to represent the UK...

So now the Nordic countries not only share the jury points between themselves, but also the singers
I think it is about time the singers are distinguished by numbers instead of countries and let the juries only judge on the usual lack of quality.
