    Could you post the picture (and news) as tag “img scr=”…”” is not allowed by the blog? :-(

    And Johanna in Russian dress (one of the types) looks like typical Russian girl (except shoes)

    @ Alexander E – What dou you say when the Norwegian boy plays then, pherhaps he got your vote – either because of his name or that he is born in Minsk ;.)

    Iceland Reveals Secret Eurovision Weapon

    The secret is out! Russian singer-songwriter Tinatin Japaridze co-wrote Iceland’s contribution to this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow, the ballad “Is it True?” performed by Icelandic singer Jóhanna Gudrún Jónsdóttir.

    “We tried to keep it secret because we wanted people to value the song for what it is but not vote for it because of political interests,” Japaridze told Fréttabladid.

    Japaridze is currently translating parts of the lyrics into Russian to promote it in her home country. She is very pleased with Jónsdóttir’s rendition of it and is confident that she will deliver a grand performance in Moscow.

    For the record – Tinatin is Georgian. She was born in Tbilisi but lives in Moscow.

    Would be really great if Icelandic girl wins with the son written by Georgian girl … from Moscow.

    In general the performance of all finalists was very good. Much better than real Eurovision by the way :)
    Johanna was really good. Really. But I like Icelandic songs more. Why on Earth do they always sing in English at Eurovision?
