Yohanna - Is It True (Iceland) 2009 Eurovision Song Contest 

She was only 19! Still blows me away... Magnificent...

2009 is tottaly an All-Star Season Iceland-Yohanna Norway-Alexander Rybak Azerbaijan-Aysel & Arash Turkey-Dum Tek Tek

10 years later and I'm still listening to this song on repeat. The BEST Icelandic entry of all times.

This will go down as one of Eurovision's most impeccable vocals. I don't think people appreciate enough how on point she is, she hits all those difficult notes perfectly and seemingly with ease! Love you Iceland, Switzerland

Please Iceland!!! Send Yohanna again to eurovision!!

Her only mistake was too sing it in 2009, the same year as Alexander Rybak. Otherwise it would have won!

Is it wrong to say that I honestly like this more than "Fairytale"? 10 years later and this still blows be away.

Сколько лет прошло, сколько конкурсов, сколько победителей и проигравших, хитов и песен на один раз ,а эта девочка врезалась в память. Прекрасная песня.

Still to this day my alltime favourite ballad in Eurovision. Her voice gives me chills! 😍😍😍

The special Effects on the background makes this song so Dreamy ...

Live version is actually better than the studio version

Даже спустя столько лет ( сейчас 2022) считаю эту песню одной из самых красивых за все годы Евровидения. А девушку исполнительницу одной из последних представительниц " догубатой" натуральной красоты. Как колыбельную воспринимаю эту песню.

She's an angel ...

A timeless ballad. Still played by some radiostations across Europe.

Still loving this song after all those years😋

What a woman, what a voice, a great song! Greetings from Germany!

If she wasn't up against Rybkak that year, i'm sure she would've won

Perfect vocal performance, both from Yohanna and her backing singers!

She sounded so comfortable and beautiful.

2022 and still go back and search this song, its so beautiful, one the best ballads in eurovision history.

Her vocals are IMPECCABLE! So beautiful to listen to

Лучший исполнитель 2009 !

Maybe the best song in the Eurovision contest ever.

She looks like cindarella :O

My winner... still listening to this on the last day of 2023... 31th of December ❤❤❤

Her high note when she sings "...will I wake from this pain" should be in the studio version. Such a piercing and breathtakingly beautiful voice

Eurovision 2009... just wow

2024 Май. Топ 🔝 лучший песня что была в Евровидения. Мне был 11 лет я слушал и влюбился эту девушку и слушаю до сих пор. ❤

This and Calm After the Storm are amongst the best songs to have never won the Eurovision.

For me winner of 2009 and one of best songs ever in Eurovision history! She's so cute and beautiful.

The song was solid. She had the voice. You could say her dress, the moon and the dolphin visuals enhanced her performance. But I can't believe she was only 18 when she stood on that huge stage and gave it her all. She looks so vulnerable and strong at the same time. One of Eurovision's greatest performances.

Обожаю эту песню. А когда Евровиденье смотрела, была просто в неописуемом восторге. Сколько лет прошло... а песня всё так же нравится. И Йоханна красавица.

Televizyonda canlı izlediğim zamanı hatırlıyorum, o zamanlar çocuktum ve Türkiye🇹🇷 olarak ESC’e katılırdık, o zaman da en çok bu şarkıyı beğenmiştim. Benim için 2009 birincisi buydu. 👏🏻

I still in love with her, one of the most natural beauty.

Best Icelandic entry in my opinion.

2009 was the best Eurovision year ever. First 4 could be the winner in any year

So so so fucking good. Vocals, performance, icelandic staging, camera work, song. So beautiful. Congrats Iceland, love from Spain.

My 2009 winner, Fairytale was great in it's own merit but this is the one that still gives me goosebumps. Johanna's performance was magical.

This song is magical.

Probably the most flawless live performance I've heard in all the years of Eurovision that I have watched in my lifetime. Truly outstanding, I wish Yohanna would return one day to perform again for Iceland. -2015

Прекрасная Йоханна, прекрасная баллада. Каждый раз до мурашек! ❤️❤️❤️

Ahh Yohanna.. 9 years.. and you still melting my heart o/

If I had a nickel for every time Norway won with a violin dominated song while the runner up was a 19 year old girl with an amazing song and extremely powerful vocals, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Big Diference with Hatari 😂

In any other year this song would have won - unfortunately she competed in the wrong year when legendary " Fairytale " did. Beautiful song,beautiful woman ♥♥♥

Maybe the best background vocals ever in the ESC!!

10 years later and I'm STILL listening to this. My winner!

Whenever I'm feeling melancholic I come back to this song. 2009 was the greatest year for Eurovision ever. Rybak, Yohanna and Aysel & Arash all put up award winning performances, and all those ended up in the top 3. I can't remember a better Eurovision that also ended up honoring its best finalists. It really was the perfect storm in the positive sense. I think we could argue for ages who of those three deserved to win it more. Personally, I change that decision almost daily even 11 years after, cause each of those songs just strikes a different chord and they're all perfect in their sense. I can't thank either of the participants enough for what their work gave me

Yohanna has the best eurovision song ever . I still love it in 2019.

she is a true real life disney princess

Real winner 2009

Probably listened this song more than the winner

I never vote Eurovision song contest but this song and performer made me do some thinking my self and i vote. Wow what a lady and emotion what she can loaded to this song, dang.

One of my favourite songs ! Can we just appreciate the camerawork of this performance. It was a whole choreography!

I think was 2009 eurovision the best year in the eurovision. Turkey, Norway, Iceland, Azerbaijan were all the perfect.

Listening in 2022, I still don't forget this beautiful song of Yohanna !

One of my most listened to and viewed ESC songs of all time. Yohanna sang straight to the core of your soul and her singing took you to another dimension. Like a choir of angels straight from heaven. Add to that this breathtaking stage with the dolphins etc. People liked Alexander a bit better with his easy-going-cheerful manner and his song, but Yohanna and her whole team, including the fantastic background singers (here greetings to "Euroband" *haha*), are the ones for me "true" winner. Of course, the well-deserved 2nd place also paid tribute to this masterpiece. But I have to say that her performance in the semifinals touched me even more, because she was even more violent there, even more insistent.

10 years later... HATRID MUN SIGRA !

It's almost 8 am I still didn't sleep, worked Japanese on duolingo for hours, right after closing the app I suddenly started to humming this song and I'm here. I mean almost 15 years after I listen that song what on earth made me sing like a disney princess in the middle of the morning 😂

She is like an angel

Ilk dinlediğim anda buyulenmistim aldı beni uzaklara götürdü şarkı

Still remembering this

Cant believe its been 10 years that this song was sung

Потрясающая песня! От души!

One of the best Eurovision songs ever. Still sounds great even now. What an fantastic performance by Yohanna. A real shame it didn't win.

Most underrated song in eurovision ever

I think this year is the best year of eurovisionn 🌟

For me the best ballad in ESC history - and she is so beautiful - Love from Germany

Who's also here after cancellation of Eurovision 2020?

Самая любимая песня из всех евро за все годы)

You say you really know me you’re not afraid to show me what is in your eyes So tell me about the rumors Are they only rumors? Are they only lies? Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? If you really knew me You couldn’t do this to me You would be my friend If one of us is lying There’s no use in trying No need to pretend Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? Is it true? Is it over? Did I throw it away? Was it you? Did you tell me you would never leave me this way? Will I wake from this pain Is it true? Is it over? Baby did I throw it away? Is it true?

The interesting coincidence part is that Fairytale portrays how a boy misses a girl when they break up, while this song is the opposite.

So beautiful! Iceland should have won both 2009 and 2020. I still love this song. Fire Saga made me look it up again.

This is the winner song for me.!!!

Even in 2023 this performance would rank in my Top 5 of all time ESC performance ever. Such a magical song. Even to this day I know it word for word. Would love to see Iceland winning it someday

Прошло уже 8 лет с этого выступления, но до сих пор его пересматривая бегут мурашки по коже!!! Вот это было евровидение, а то что прошло в этом 2017 это просто концерт сельской самодеятельности!!!

2022 and i can’t get over this 💙💙💙💙💙

In a year of fantastic entries - the vocal performance of Yohanna and her backing singers really elevated this

With Is It True, Fairytale, and It's My Time, 2009 was one of the best Song Contests ever!

The best ballad love from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

She has range

Just a week ago I heard her on a radio, wow. Wonderfull

2009 my fav year.I really liked Turkey Norway Azerbaijan Iceland Estonia Bosnia Russia Spain and Sweden too many good entries for one year.

2009 is the best Eurovision ever.

Прошло 11 лет, а я все так же время от времени возвращаюсь сюда чтобы насладиться этим выступлением♥️

this song can be winner even nowdays..thats how good it is..😌

She is soo beautiful and she should have beeen the winner.

15 years passed and I still love it. This song and performance are timeless. Great vocal, performance, back vocalists, and feeling I have like it is fairytale princess

Ну до чего же она хорошенькая!!!!! И чистенькая, и поющая! Браво!

THIS, is quality music

This will forever be my winner of 2009!

Пока просматривал 2009 год Евровидения - сошёл с ума от того НАСКОЛЬКО много тут действительно хороших песен, которые моментально запоминаются, но и техническая сторона конкурса - потрясающая, на высшем уровне, особенно звук, передача голоса, и голоса бэк вокалистов, правильное соотношение звука минусовки по отношению к голосу - всё отстроено БЕЗУПРЕЧНО. Почему я это заметил ? Последние лет 5 на Евровидении заметил что либо музыка тише чем должно быть, либо голос с микрофона плохо слышен, либо вообще выкладывает официальный канал номера как будто в качестве не 320кб а 160)) из-за чего слышны артефакты. В общем и целом последние Евровидения в плане качества Звука - отвратительны. И во мне не говорит какая то обида что Россия сейчас не участвует, сразу опережу вас) просто я люблю говорить по факту - Евровидение в России было самым дорогим в истории конкурса - и теперь спустя столько лет я понимаю и самое главное ВИЖУ и СЛЫШУ почему - разница огромная даже в сравнении с Евровидением 2023, где у половины песен - музыку и её глубокое качество - не слышно от слова ВООБЩЕ (Возьмите Serbia - Samo mi se spava - там музыка просто потрясающая в студийке, но то как это звучало на самом Евровидении - отвратительно)

In 2009 won fairy tale song but Yohanna is the Fairy of 2009!!!! Beautiful song beautiful blue colors on the stage!!!!

One of the best songs that didn't win.

I remember this, like it was yesterday. Beautiful all !❤

Best song in Eurovision ever

Still one of the best songs that have come to eurovision ❤

This is a beautiful song if you didn’t know it, you’d never think this was a Eurovision song she should and could have won have won

With Eurovision 2022 on the way, had to come back to this ♥️

Amazing !!! This song still rotating on radio....
