Few Eurovision entries evoke such vivid memories and genuine joy for me as Pollapönk’s 2014 performance of No Prejudice. While the song itself is not a style I would typically gravitate toward, the group’s infectious energy and charisma during their time in Copenhagen left a lasting impression.
Throughout the week, they appeared at numerous events, always in outfits reflecting their stage colours (so the guy in pink was always dressed in pink, the guy in blue always dressed in the same shade of blue, etc.) and were consistently radiating positivity and good humour. Their presence had a way of uplifting everyone around them.
Pollapönk proved to be outstanding ambassadors for Iceland, embracing the true spirit of Eurovision with enthusiasm and charm. For that reason, their entry will always hold a special place in my personal Eurovision songbook.
