What do I think of this?

Birgitta Haukdal...Selma Bjornsdottir...hell even Silvia Night for goodness sake. Iceland has a delightful habit of throwing up svelte ice maidens from good stock who can carry a tune as if it were a feather. For a land with the population of Rutland, Iceland produces it's fair share of beauties (highest percentage of Miss World winners, no less), so it should come as no surprise that I reckon Yohanna is a cracker. "Is it True" is undoubtedly the best ballard of the year, and if it doesn't get into the final I will weep into my hankie like the Chairman of Kaupthing. Cheer on Iceland, they need a boost.

Born in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 16th 1990, she was a gifted child and started singing even before she could talk.
Yohanna and her parents moved to Reykjavík in Iceland when she was just two years old and she continued to show great interest in music. The family moved to Hafnarfjörður when Yohanna turned eight and that's where she had her first real opportunity to put her talent on show.
Yohanna recorded her first album at the age of nine, and it was released on her tenth birthday in the year 2000.
In order to develop both her voice and her own personal musical style, Yohanna's teenage years were spent working in and out of the studio with musical instructors, songwriters and producers. Yohanna was nevertheless away from home for considerable periods, rehearsing in New York or Los Angeles and meeting with music business people all over the world. During this time she also recorded her first adult album Butterflies and Elvis with British songwriter Lee Horrocks and sound engineer Thomas Yezzi. Asked to say what he thought of Yohanna, Yezzi commented 'She is a young, white Icelandic girl with the soul of a fifty year old black woman. She's really amazing.'
At the age of eighteen, Yohanna has come full circle and now she herself teaches children to sing at the school where she started her own career some ten years ago. Moreover she is still concentrating on developing her own vocal technique yet further by attending classes at the Reykjavík Academy of Singing and Vocal Arts.

Is it true?

You say you really know me
You're not afraid to show me
What is in your eyes
So tell me 'bout the rumours
Are they only rumours?
Are they only lies?

Falling out of a perfect dream
Coming out of the blue

Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (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 true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?

Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?

(Is it real?)
(Did I dream it?)
Will I wake from this pain?
Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Baby, did I throw it away?
Ooh... is it true?
