In the first moment I was a little bit sceptical but when I saw them in the Semifinal and Final my opinion completely changed and they were my favorite. A few songs you have to hear more than one time to like it. Iceland is a beautiful country the most beautiful in the world I think. I hope next year you will send such an great entry again. Best wishes from your friends in Germany
It's a nice language but lots of people speak English and not many Icelandic. It's better to undersand the words. Being English, I prefer the English version because I can understand it.
A happy, well sung proper song: no shouting instead of singing, no stupid gimmicks or out fit, no disturbing lights. This should have done far better than the usual Eurotrash that got higher scores. Ah well, bring back Cliff. They sang songs in those days.........
Sjonni, your song is a perfect dream an I hope it wins today !!! I know you are very close now and you are proud of how great your friends interpret the song. All the best from Austria!
@global1000ify You are right: that this song from Iceland is a very nice and catchy song. All the best from Germany! But it is clear why Norway didn't make it - the girl can't sing. Real bad voice intonation, absolutely out of key.
This is just a great song, even if you don't know the story behind it. I've listened to both the English and the Icelandic versions. Great. I loved the hug at 1:03. And in the English version I saw, the kiss on the cheek at 1:02 was very sweet. These guys are lovable.
hey girls and boys ;) I like your song and I wish you good luck for the half final! your language sounds for german ears a little bit funny, I have to say ;) Hope we see us in the final show.
You know, I still question Norway's win in 2009, but I've never said it was a crap song. I can be almost sure if you heard the story about this song and it's original song writer and singer, the song will grow on you. This is sonng is my favourite of this year's comp, simply because I think it has more meaning than camp and skankiness.
I love Icelandic entries sung in icelandic language,which is by the way beautiful even I do not understand it at all. 12 points from Bosnia-Herzegovina.... yeah,I know,I know we give those to Serbia or Croatia for their crappy songs, anyways good luck and hope Iceland wins.
Your song from last year was better, but this one is still a good one. Only a pity that this one recorded in icelandic will be in english at the ESC. It's surely better and more original in icelandic. Europe should be always different !

vocals not great, for me it has to be about vocals, this song should be in another competition involving instruments, it is too much instrument based. Not my cup tea
This is such a uplifting song. I fell in love with it in Icelandic, and now I have just heard the English version and the lyrics just play lazily in my head now! LOL.
Love it, most of my friends thinks it's wonderful. Yohanna is a wonderful singer but I did'nt find her song as good as Is It True, which by far is the best song Iceland ever entered into the contest. You guys have come 2nd two times now. Let's hope it's the big one. I for sure would travel to Iceland. 12pts from Australia
I want Yohanna and I'm not from Iceland. The reason why I wanted her in this competition was because I liked the way she sang at the national finals and I just like her as a person. If Iceland was destined to win, it needed a decent song, at least. This is NOT a decent song for winning. End of line.
But what's the point if we don't know the story behind the song or anything about the person? Like a friend of mine who's also a Eurovision fan told me: "It's like you would die, I would write a song in your tribute, enter Eurovison with it and win the nationals."
@DaryaSuperstar We don't care what place we will get, this is a song that touches Icelanders. We are proud of them and they will do the best they can and that's all we want. You obviously don't know the story behind this song and that is something which is touching every Icelanders hearts. :))
We are not aiming for high place in the compitition this year. :)
@ulfarviktor I only recently been told about the story behind this song! I wish I could vote from Australia. THis song touches me sooooooo much! I love it and knowing what happened to the original sing/writer of this song, just saddens me and knowing what the guys inn this song did, just makes me feel like all happy. I hope you guys win, although not many think it will, I still think it's a winner in
