Moving on to the Eurovision semi-final selection reviews, here are a couple of the latest additions to the batch!
Eurovision Countdown 2009: Iceland
By Richard MacKinnon (Scotland)
There’s a joke (with various versions) going around at the moment concerning the financial meltdown in Iceland and the worsening situation in Ireland: “What’s the difference between Iceland and Ireland? About six months…” Iceland have never won the Eurovision, despite entering some excellent, professional songs. They’ve entered someone with real class and a decent song this year, but a part of me is imagining the Iceland government sitting with fingers crossed that 2009 isn’t their year.
Like all international events, the Eurovision costs a mint to host and quite frankly, Iceland has better things to do with its money right now. So let’s hope Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir gets a good showing with this song - somewhere in the final top 10 - but just doesn’t quite reach the top. Here’s a clip of the song itself: “Is it true?”
Now for those of you who speak Polish, below is the review about the Icelandic entry from Poland:
EUROWIZJA 2009 - PIOSENKI
Single i ciekawostki
Najwcześniej wydanym na singlu utworem z ESC 2009 jest węgierskie "Dance with me/Tanclepes", które swoją premierę miało już 6. października. Na singlu znajduje się węgierska i angielska wersja utworu (mp3 z tymi wersjami dostępne po lewej stronie pod terminarzem) oraz dwa remixy do "Tanclepes". Dodatkowo na oficjalnej stronie wokalisty obejrzeć można teledyski zarówno do angielskiego jak i węgierskiego wariantu.
Na TEJ stronie można odsłuchać demo utworu "Is It True", który w Moskwie wykona debiutująca wokalistka Johanna. W wersji demo słychać głos Tinatin, jednej ze współtwórców piosenki. Tinatin na swoim blogu zapowiedziała, że islandzka wersja eurowizyjnej piosenki nie zostanie nagrana.
Wkrótce swoją premierę będą miały remixy do bułgarskiego utworu "Ilussion", stworzone przez Deep Zone Project (ESC 2008). Remixów do swojej piosenki nie planują holenderscy reprezentanci - grupa De Toppers. Singiel z utworem "Shine" zawiera tylko jedną wersję utworu. Na profilu MySpace Sinead Mulvey z Irlandii usłyszeć można jej wersję utworu "Love?" z 2005 roku.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 Encyclopedia has now been created and posted at the following link. To check out the info on "Is It True" and down the mp3 (it's official!) visit the Eurovision encyclopedia right here.
