Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir, for me she is the by far best
femal singer of Iceland! She is a big star on the fascinating
island in the North Atlantic. But I thing the ravishingly beautiful
icelandic singer deserves such an attention and appreciation of
her work also in the rest of Europe, if not worldwide...
First time she came into the international limelight
under her stage name Yohanna in 2009 at the
Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow. Yohanna
confidently won with her heavenly ballad "Is It True?"
the first semi-final and achieved an excellent 2nd
place in the Grand Finale with 218 points, and thus
the best result ever Iceland achieved at the ESC.
It's noteworthy that even today, more than a decade
after Moscow, Yohanna enjoys such a great popularity in the worldwide ESC
fan base and that for many of them "Is It True?" is still unforgotten as one of
the best ESC songs of all time.
But of course Yohanna is much more than "just" the ESC 2009 and "Is It
True?". Already the year before the young Icelandic singer had proved her
exceptional talent with her debut album "Butterflies and Elvis".
Remarkable songs like "I Miss You", "Beautiful Silence", "Lose Myself", "The
River Is Dry", to name just a few highlights of this "Masterpiece of Music", are
a few of the reasons why Yohanna with her angelic voice arouses the
fascination of countless of music connoisseurs around the world.
Just plain adorable are her Icelandic songs, e.g.
"Þessi Jól", "Annað Lag" or the extremely soulful
duet "Eina Sem Ég Vil" with Björgvin Halldórsson,
one of the most popular entertainers in Iceland. Also
the two particularly notable songs "Vetrarsól" and "Ég
Sé þig" and last but not least her wonderful, always
sold out solo concerts are further reasons for
Jóhanna Guðrún's huge popularity in her native
country Iceland.
Another and remarkable highlight in Jóhanna Guðrún's career is surely her
first star role as Eva Perón in the world famous
musical "EVITA" by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim
Rice. Performed for the very first time in Iceland, the
premiere took place on November 15, 2019 in the
completely sold out Eldborg Hall of the Harpa,
followed by 2 further, also sold-out shows on the
same weekend. And of course Jóhanna did a very
good job! So good that many Icelanders who missed
the shows desperately asked to repeat the show. And
this wish was fulfilled on February 28, 2020, also to
my big pleasure! So I got the priceless chance to
enjoy Jóhanna as Eva Perón live in the Eldborg hall! And honestly, I
experienced Jóhanna in top form, simply unbeatable! Her version of "Don’t
Cry for Me Argentina" is by far the best I've ever heard. This proves once
again that the singer Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir has reached at least the
same, very high level as world star and "Queen of Pop", Madonna!
Well, she is very popular in her homeland, but Jóhanna Guðrún has
indisputably all prerequisites for much, much more! Without any doubt
Jóhanna deserves the status of a big international star!
For me Jóhanna is already the biggest star of all - for me she is without
question Iceland‘s Most Beautiful Voice…
Therefore, for me as a huge and simply "incurable" fan of Jóhanna Guðrún,
it's a matter of the heart to introduce my absolute favorite singer and her
indescribably beautiful music to you. Of course, my options are rather limited,
but with this website and my YouTube channel I try to achieve my goal of
supporting Jóhanna Guðrún on her way at least a little tiny bit. Well, who
knows, but if so, I would be really happy...
