During the lock down in Europe over the Eurovision period in May, many Eurovision singers did home videos of other Eurovision artists songs. In the wake of ESC COVERS COVER2COVER singing competition, we will feature some of these so South African artists in particular can get an idea how it is done. Nor Bert of EuroVisionMusic picked the ones as he followed the whole series.
The second video is DADI FREYR from the ICELAND ( who would have taken part in Eurovision 2020 with THINK ABOUT THINGS had it not been cancelled), covering the Eurovision entry from CYPRUS 2018 – FUEGO of ELENI FOUREIRA.
Daði Freyr, who was selected to represent ICELAND at the 2020 Eurovision song contest, is celebrating his birthday today. And with it comes the news that his song THINK ABOUT THINGS is still in the UK top 40.
Daði Freyr & Gagnamagnið have made it in to the Official UK Top 40 Singles Chart with Think About Things. It currently stands at Number 34 in the listings.
It is unusual in recent years that a Eurovision song makes it in the UK charts so this is a great achievement. Think About Things was one of the big favourites that might have won the 2020 Eurovision for Iceland if it had taken place.
Let’s hope Think About Things goes on to be a big summer hit throughout Europe and the world.
You can see the official video clip for Think About Things below.
