We have known already some time Yohanna will return to the Icelandic national selection this year but now another big name has been revealed: Magni Áskeirsson. For years one of the leading Icelandic stars he shot to the fame in the States as participant of CBS talent hunt Rockstar Supernova in 2006. In 2007 he sung with Birgitta Haukdal the fantastic Núna veit ég in the Icelandic final but they didn't win (but I loved the song). With his band À Móti sól he has released already 8 albums plus some solo stuff. Will this be his definatele solo break through? And Yohanna of course scored a solid 2nd place in Eurovision 2009 with Is it true? for Iceland, "the best placing we could afford" as they said propably being rather happy Norway won instead. Has the economical crisis ended and can Iceland host this time if she takes the revenge? And guess what? Magni's song is co-written by certain Maltese Gerard James Borg....
