Páll Óskar was the first openly gay participant in the Eurovision Song Contest, with the rather wonderful Minn hinsti dans ("my last dance") - just slightly inspired by Roger Miles. Palli has a strong Burt Bacharach-fetish, has done a wonderful Icelandic version of Randy Crawford's Rainy night in Georgia in Icelandic (Það rignir látlaust á mig - "it keeps pouring down on me") and has of late ventured into some sort of classical meets easy listening together with harpist Monika Abendroth. But my alltime favourite of his is the wonderful Ég er bundinn fastur við þig með ást.
Pure bliss - enjoy!
