2 Iceland - Is It True? - Yohanna

2 - 218 pts / 1 - 174 in semi 1

Icelands entry Is It True? by Yohanna (Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir) won the first semi and ended 2nd in the final. It equals Icelands best result from 1999 when Selma ended 2nd with All Out Of Luck.

At 18 Jóhanna is a relative newcomer to the Icelandic music scene but in true Icelandic tradition she has recorded some songs for childrens cds as a young teen.

Her debut album Butterflies and Elvis was released in 2008. (see below)

Yohanna also has a MySpace with tracks from her debut album.

Listen to Is It True? and all other Icelandic contenders at the RÚV Söngvakeppni page.
You can also listen to the original demo version by Tinatin here at reverbnation and read all about it at Tinatins MySpace blog.

There was a little discrepancy with the songwriting credits, but in the end it was all a storm in a glass of Vodka and all has been solved amicably.

BTR Radio follows the Moscow adventures of co-composer Tinatin (see below) and the Icelandic delegation. Tinatin is a DJ at the station and there will be daily reports and pictures at the BTR site. Also check out Tinatin's Russkiy In The Mix radio shows with the latest in Russian Dance & Pop.

Also check out the Iceland blog at the Eurovision family.

The promo kit for Moscow features a 1-track promo cd (pic below) and a dvd.

The picture on top is another 1-track cdsingle issue.*

The DVD-rom disc in the presskit has five versions as mp3:

Is It True? - English

Is It True? - English/French

Is It True? - English/German

Is It True? - English/Russian

Is It True? - English/Spanish

These versions only have the second verse in the 'foreign' language, the rest of the song, including refrains, is in English.

So these are different versions from the foreign language versions that are on the Yohanna YouTube channel. I don't think the full foreign language version have been released anywhere else.

Remix

A remix of Is It True has now been officially released on the compilation CD Somarstjörnur 2009. This various artists album includes Icelandic summer tracks also including preselection song Got No Love by Elektra in an acoustic version and a new track by Hera Björk

The digital release is at Tónlist, the album is issued by Hands Up Music.

The Japanese edition has 14 tracks (extra tracks: My Body & A Good Kiss) and three videos including Düm Tek Tek. Expected on October 7.

Hadise updates 2010
New York
Hadise performed in New York on the 22nd of may. A special website Hadise New York is lauched.
Indonesia
Hadise's Düm Tek Tek has also been picked up in Indonesia. Just like in Japan, the DTT ringtones sells like hotcakes. Warner Indonesia have released album titled Hadise to coincide with Hadises visit to Indonesia in June 2010. The Hadise album has the same tracks as the Japanese edition (including DTT and DTT the club mix)

Coverversions 
Andriette Norman from South Africa has recorded an Afrikaans version of the song titled Dum Tekk Tekk. It's out on her new CD Dink Aan My which is out on Sony Music South Africa since October 12. Listen to an excerpt here.
2010 Simo ft. Hasna from Morocco have recorded a new version of Düm Tek Tek in Arabic and French. It can be found on the album Rai 2010 Platinum Hit Parade II (Youtube)
Shehla Gul from Pakistan has recorded a version in the Sindhi language titled Chup Chup Chup. Watch the video here.

Compilations:
Each year several Eurovision entries make it to hits compilation CDs. Quite odd is the choice for Düm Tek Tek on the 3CD De Grootste Barbecue Hits Ooit (The greatest BBQ hits ever) from Belgium.
So now you know you can safely do the Düm Tek Tek while roasting your ribs and flipping the burgers.
DTT will also be included on the Swedish 2CD Absolute Summer Hits 2009 along with Fairytale (Norway), Is It True (Iceland), It's My Time (U.K.), Always (Azerbaijan) and Lose Control (Finland)

Watch Düm Tek Tek at TRT news (scroll down) or listen at Hadise's re-launched website. -

Svetlana Loboda (Светлана Лобода) has won the Ukrainian final with the song Be My Valentine. The new Eurovision version version is dubbed Anti Crisis Girl.

A promo kit on Moon records includes a dvd with audio (mp3) tracks including the Eurovision entry and a remix. However the audio tracks are of a very low sound quality. The video's are perfect though.

A Russian version is released on the CD below: Paren Ti NiChe (Парень ты ниЧе) (Youtube)

The album Anti Crisis Girl has the Eurovision version, Russian version and the remix. It also includes videos of Be My Valentine and the Russian version. The other tracks are previously released hits and favorites.
The CD is available at UMKA. (Moon records MR 3551-2)

The new version has different lyrics tying in with the state of the world. Anti Crisis Bom, I wish I had thought of that.
