Powered by www.eurovision.tv Icelandic Hera Björk was a long-time fan favourite at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, topping many charts. She didn't disappoint her homeland and qualified for the Final with her French-titled song Je Ne Sais Quoi. Who is she? Hera Björk became a household name in Iceland when she co-hosted the variety TV-show Stutt í Spunann (a version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?) during the winter of 1999-2000. She has been a regular star of various radio and television shows ever since, and is famous for her extraordinary vocal range as well as her seemingly effortless ability to glide from one vocal style to another. She has also found time to contribute vocals to Björk's magnificent, and entirely a cappella 2004 album Medúlla. Eurovision Song Contest trivia fans will be delighted to know that she was also one of the dancers in Selma's comedy video for her entry All Out of Luck in 1999. She is currently working on her third album, due to be released in 2010 to coincide with the Eurovision Song Contest. Örlygur Smári, the writer of Hera's song, has produced and composed for the biggest names in the Icelandic music industry, much of his output going on to top the Icelandic music charts. Öggi is renowned for his work with Icelandic singer Paul Oscar. This led to their collaboration on the 2008 Icelandic Eurovision Song Contest entry, This Is My Life, performed by Euroband.

They managed very well and brought the tiny island a spot in the Final with their Life Looks Better In Spring. Who are they? It's amazing what you can do over the internet these days and no one knows this better than Cypriot song writers Nasos Lambrianides and Melis Konstantinou. After penning a song called Life Looks Better In Spring they decided to enter it in the Cyprus selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. But they had a problem -- they didn't have anyone to produce it OR sing it. So, like most people these days who are looking for something -- they went online and hit the world-wide-web jackpot! Their surfing led them to Wales in the UK and to music producer Jon Gregory. Jon suggested that the song writers take a look at an online demo of musician Jon Lilygreen. They did, and they were blown away with his natural talent and invited him to sing for Cyprus. It was from there that Jon Lilygreen and the Islanders were born. Jon Lilygreen is 22 years old and comes from Wales in the United Kingdom. He is a professional working musician who has been involved with many styles of old and contemporary music. As well as singing, Jon composes his own songs and is a very talented guitar player. He is well known in his home town of Newport where he performs acoustic sets at ...
