This is the absolute example of how a perfect live performance sounds. Perfect leading vocals, perfect backing vocals, perfect sound mix, the result is even better than the studio version. Pure excellence! And the song is so sweet and Johanna is so unbelievably charming! This would have made such a great winner! Too bad that 4 winner entries crashed into each other in the same year. Iceland, Norway, France and Estonia all deserved to win. 2009 was such a unique year!
@jameswalker684 жыл бұрын
So true. Australia here - and still remember getting goosebumps watching her performance. I could not believe what a FLAWLESS live performance it was - like beyond perfection. Even better than the studio version, which is still amazing. Rare for a live performance to actually be that good. I so wanted this to win, but like you said, it was such a rare year.

She also could have won in 2010. This is far superior than Satellite both in terms of song and vocal performance. I don't know if I am in the minority, but I am of the opinion that Satellite is quite a mediocre song, Lena can't sing to save her life and her accent, enunciation, or whatever is very annoying.

This is my favourite Eurovision song ever - and not just the song, but the musicality of both the soloist and the backing group, the costumes, and the wonderful staging. After last night's 2024 display of raucous shouting, writhing, thrashing about, and general shock tactics, I don't think the event deserves the title "Song Contest" any more - and I deeply regret it. It used to be one of my favourite events of the year.

@@arnibararson I know in Iceland it is spelt with a J. In Ukraine, there is no J, so Julia is Юлія which is pronounced in Ukraine as Ulia. In Ukraine, again as there is no J, Johanna is spelt Йоганна and pronounced as Yohanna. If you look up Johanna on google search, you get the meaning of the name, Johanna, on wikipedia, and as a baby name and people named Johanna, but nowhere does it show an Icelandic singer. However, if you look up Yohanna, it comes with picture of her, a wikipedia site, a list of KZfaq videos and various sites all of which are about Yohanna. So pardon me for spelling it the same as the rest of the world.

When I looked her up under Johanna, Johann Sebastian Bach comes up , with his picture, and underneath, it features 4 of his songs. Beside his picture are 4 songs, that are by 4 different artist, whose song titles were Johanna. Johanna does not come up at all. WOW! My apology.
