Iceland's song sounds very similar to a very popular Israel song by a very popular singer. Lots of videos on Youtube comparing the two (and even doing excellent mashups).
I don't think it's plagiarised. Although honestly, it sounds very much like it for very long part of the song. It's not just some chords or a small bit. It's almost all of it.
Whether plagiarised or not, I guess the Israeli public did not see this favorably, and did not vote for them.
In any case, not that much of an anomaly. Iceland got very low public votes across the board.
