Yohanna from Iceland talked to us about the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest

[zambe1294]

ugh ég hata Íslenska hreiminn -.-

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

She is great without make up as well but when they show the actual video of her singing, you can see how make up can do the magic. Again, she is beautiful no doubt but with make up, she looks as she came from Heaven :)

[Arcticfur]

Yohanna is like an angel... but the interviewer sounds like some pervert child molseter :D. Seriously.. just listen to him :D

[n1cklass]

beautiful , just beautiful ...everything about her . Accent , looks . everything...

[aiina93]

When I saw her actuation it was also: "like Wow!" ^^

[Fotistou94]

wow.....wow......wow....wow...­..-.....wow

i love the fact that even though she's so beautiful and talented she is so downearthed...don't know her personally(sadly) but i believe she is a wonderful person :D

[Lellew1]

I really like Yohanna, she is pretty lady, she look nice in her face and she have the great voice. I can't stay with out play her song .

Joyce..

[GrahamPhelan]

[SuperSuperaman]

[JimDimTheGreat]

[fcmurgido]

@JimDimTheGreat you are right, Hera was the main singer for iceland this year (2010). You can see too at the 3:09 from the right side the guy who was the main singer in 2008

[TheAlveral]

@JimDimTheGreat

yeah it's true i think..

[HannaRakel09]

@JimDimTheGreat ye its true

This woman is Hera Björk

[haukursteinn]

i now ICELAND is beessttttt

[kekarenevakareneva98]

im from iceland to :)

[OvYdYu1995]

she have a very sweet accent,i love her hair,her eyes was .....beautiful.I like to see at eurovision again

[iuliaana]

she was so beautiful on the stage..now i see her much more crearly without makeup...she's a girl not yet a woman..kisses from romania my husband realy loved you're song and interpretation!

[InnuendoUK]

I agree with Yodenman - she seems like such a beautiful individual inside and out. I had the pleasure of meeting her and Fridrik in Moscow and she is this sincere and heartfelt with everyone. She is almost too good to be true. A year has gone by since Eurovision Moscow and I had hoped that the whole world would have learned about her by now, including the US, where I live, but that hasn't been the case. It's a real shame - her vocal talents should be known to everyone.

[yodenman]

@InnuendoUK

Yes, it's so frustrating to think that a year has passed, and she's still virtually unknown in the UK. Her management should have pushed hard with her single after the contest, as she was fresh in the public's mind. Then a follow up single ("Miss You") would have strengthened her position. It seems nothing was done, and I just hope that it wasn't a missed opportunity. When you put her up against some of the other female vocalists around now, she blows most of them out of the water.

[kristicuk]

I loved this interview. I really liked Ukraine also and wanted for it to get a better place. I'm surprised she mentioned Romania haha! I'm proud!

Iceland should have won last year :)

[bobbydog1990]

hw old is her

[lanat3]

19years old

[yodenman]

At last.............a decent interview, where sensible questions were asked. As always, Yohanna conducts herself perfectly and is one of the most sincere and sweetest young women you could wish to meet. Put this together with great looks, and a stunning voice.....she's got it all !

[tanjaaaaa1]

yes we actually can because most of tv channels are on english and only a view are icelandic. ;)

[kulebilder]

Yohanna you should ha won

[chocolatecharliee]

wow she is only young and can speak english? wow can tehy all speak english in iceland?

[kaanreis]

seni bi sikerim bi daha elini yüzünü oynatamazsın yohannaa  ohhhşşş karııı am göt meme

[macpicasso]

Is it true?? No. No man could leave this woman.

So much soul, so much range, so beautiful, so humble.

The Moscow performance was simply perfect.

Thanks, Yohanna and youtube.

[everythinok]

Yohanna, will you marry me?

[Flyingfast79]

I love her accent, and she's so pretty!

[TheSuperBored1]

@Flyingfast79

Her accent sucks :'D

[TheDudeCalledIzzy]

@Flyingfast79 Hi im icelandic ..... and almost every1 in Iceland talk like that

[n1cklass]

she´s sooo cute :)

[danniingi]

im from iceland too !

[TheBajenForever]

Goood for youu!

[vaonghe]

Why did people vote for your song?

Answer: Because you are pretty nice. That's it :D

[MrOlli10222]

yay im from iceland

[godandaginn123]

her name is Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir and she is born 1990

[BuisnessGirl]

how old is she?

[EvitaLovely]

I really like her character! She's very lovely! I also love her voice and her hair!

[russia224]

lol she have said in turkey that she find that turkey the best was and nu she say nothing over turkey hahahahahah.. that's dumb

[laurencefrazer]

she was amazing

[Sauronshit]

pause at 2:31

OMG I love her face

[animeforever1]

All about Iceland is magical!

[spartan8]

yeah and the econimic crisis that is making em commit suicide there...:/

[animeforever1]

ok, but that affects practically every single place on Earth!

[afroschlan]

Sure.. like we could afford that..

[Yudana91]

@animeforever1 Volcanos too! LOL! XD

[MsCarmelita94]

@animeforever1 u could say that, its like another planet, unique place... thats what i think 

[Stephen1965]

She's a very beautiful singer and also very level headed too. The song was my favourite too.

[maunus]

I bet her last name has some "dottir" in it.

[vicke54]

Ragnarsdottir

[n1cklass]

@vicke54

no not ragnarsdottir . its Jónsdóttir

[maunus]

No, my name will be Maunus Raymondsson, because I'm a male, so it's got to be "son" not "dottir" My father's name is Raymond.

I think "dottir" is used for females? Because it means "daughter"

[n1cklass]

@luzzy321

lol ...they dont use dottir on males ... that means daughter :P

[jclugoholt]

I love this interview, both the reporter and her have good voices, sometimes they seem whispering or so, that makes it so close to you ! lol

About Jóhanna, she is so great, brilliant and goddess, her voice, her performance, everything was so great in Moscow, I don't know why she did not get the thiumph ! In spite of, Icelandic 2009 entry won't be fogotten !

Thank you Iceland and Yohana for your song !

[BullseyeLeon34]

she is an angel

[ThePaulTomTV]

best results of iceland ... better then 1999 even... ... but idk i dont see iceland wins it..

i mean if u go back to all the years since 2003 .... was horrible years for them .

[Littlemoe70]

she is 19 or 20... iceland here

[andreinaj19]

how old is she?

[termodox]

born 16. Oktober 1990

[Onlooker1001]

Но справедливости ради, Приходькино выступление и было убожеством, да и ещё наполовину хохоломовой разбавлено - ну что блять за дела!

[Onlooker1001]

Молодец, старалась, пела, похвалила, как был организован концерт в Москве - "фантастика, профессиональное и лучшее шоу за последние несколько лет". Но вот на вопрос, кому симпатизировала, Россию не назвала. Ай-ай-ай. )))

[Rogue1031]

I don't know what's wrong with Europe, how they let that guy win over her is such an inustice... how a gay violinist wins over this absolutely gorgeous woman with such a beautiful voice... just wrong...

[AlexBoboshko]

in the first semi final Yohunna won!!!!but the second place in the finel is not too bad too!!_)))

[g0ran666]

beautiful girl!!!

[ulfarviktor]

I agree with you..

[badturkali]

she has a nice voice

[RaggaBjork]

elska þetta!

=D

[immrtetja]

lol íslenskur hreymur er svo fyndinn þegar íslenskt fólk tala ensku!!

[sellammar]

Yohanna looks so fucking Scandinavian which makes me and many of my Arabic friends puke.

[brentoneccles]

I'm learning Icelandic, and love the sound of the dialect. :)

[Poppcorn2468]

ég er líka frá Íslandi :D

[555koral]

she soo beautiful !

[Poppcorn2468]

[denz47]

she is fat !!!

[harris5413]

sorry are you serious???she is the most beatiful singer ever the best singer she had to be in the 1st place

[mike77pl]

I love your sexy English accent :)

[sellammar]

She looks so fucking Scandinavian. Its really bad.

[carinha40]

Shes such a strong artist, not "only" by voice but by facial expression and body language.

The message gets thru very clearly and she gives off a very emotional, real and "naked" (i wish :) ) expression without "steeling" from the song.

Im pretty sure she would make one hell of an actress as well.

Carinhas brother: Marcel

[OhSoNuma]

You are a lovely lady--in every way. Congratulations on your success!

[alexislupeni]

i love you Yohanna....

[mindziukas18]

Her eyes amazing

[BlakeGoodwell]

Johanna Rökkar!!

[rey123habbo]

Yohanna, fue una de las mejores representantes de Eurovisión en muchos años, su canción es excelente. Se tomó la molestia de sacar una versión de esta canción a varios idiomas, y a mi parecer ella debía ganar.

Yohanna! Te apoyamos =]

[rey123habbo]

She es brilliant  =]

[c1ask0]

When I listened to the song in March I thought the song was nice but something was missing. When I heard it in the semi final it was fantastic. They had found what was missing and made it perfect. I voted for it in the semi final and twice in the final. My favourite song this year!

[animara1423]
