I do think that Unbroken can do really well.

It's stuck in my head and for all the wrong reasons. 3 points.

How can someone in their right mind think Estonia will not qualify?
Not the best draw, bad vocals, horrible staging, song doesn't click with audience.....anything can happen.

Not anything can happen with a song as great "Goodbye to yesterday".

Anna Bergendahl had a hell of a song back in 2010 and she didn't qualify and she is just one of a few. Oh yes, history has taught us that anything can happen and every once in a while s*it does very strongly happen. Thing to do is, pray hard and hope for the best

Lawyers’ strike reportedly threatens Icelandic vote
A strike of lawyers in Iceland is wreaking havoc with their Eurovision preparations. The Bandalag Háskólamanna (Ice*landic As*so*ci*a*tion of Aca*d*e*mics) which includes all Icelandic lawyers, has been on strike for 8 days now. Reportedly, no end in is sight to the industrial action.
Legal services are required to provide notaries that adjudicate and preside over the jury voting process and presentation of national votes. The Icelandic Association of Academics today released a statement threatening, “pro*tracted strike ac*tion could jeop*ar*dise Ice*land’s Eu*ro*vi*sion par*tic*i*pa*tion”.
Icelandic media including mbl.is report the threat of an inability to provide a jury vote or even take part at all in Vienna, but with a month to go, I’d be surprised if RÚV could not organise in time for international lawyers to provide the necessary notary services; as there surely will have been precedent in the past for nations to have to source legal services from other countries, including at short notice.
Time will tell whether RÚV start to make plans for alternative arrangements, or whether a last minute stand-off may ensue.

This is another hype I don't get. This song is IMO boring, uninteresting and annoying, and it's still 10th in the odds? I wonder if it would be the same if this weren't a Nordic country :?

How did it rise to 10th place?
Last time I checked Oddschecker it was placed around 20th place
What did change in the last few weeks?

Somebody just put a lot of money on Iceland probably. The odds are not really reliable at this point. Just look at the way it changed during rehearsals and after the Semis. Neither Austria nor Netherlands were a top contender.
