Jóhanna Guðrún - or in this case much better, YOHANNA sings her dreamlike ballad "Is It True?", with which she reached an outstanding second place with 218 points at Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow. Including her victory in the semi final it's still the best result that Iceland achieved ever in this great competion!
For me it's the most important song of all time, because "Is It True?" is the reason why I became such an incurable fan of Iceland's Most Beautiful Voice. And after more than 11 years I still love this unique song and I still can't get enought of new live versions sung by the only true YOHANNA...
