[Lizagac]

[musicfreakme91]

[stolegrom]

Logan - Brand of extremly crappy bicycle suspension forks, that are instaled on cheap bikes here in Serbia. xD

[Etcircenses]

BEST esc song ever.

[Sholmesher]

Probably the most beautiful song of all times

[albertonex19]

They dont make e like that anymore

[MrSuperphil]

Best Eurovision song.

[msjensen87]

I see him every year her in Denmark. He is still a good singer and intertainer. Cant wait till 7. december 2011:-)

[elxxxterrible]

[terryfisherkant]

I heard this song was dedicated to his dying mother.

[TheMusicnote2007]

This is a classic!

[Benora27]

Back in the 80's! Wonderful! :-)

[sunnymarky]

Johnny Logans 2 songs were the best ever in the and i am not from Ireland

[Tageshoroskop]

everyone who luvs this has to read FIRST LOVE written by PETRA MARIA SCHEID on sale at amazon com

[gatedemon1]

white suit awsome better then the idiots that now come on stage

[tropperstopper]

New drinking game. Every time Johnny licks his lips everyone has to drink some beer.

[TheElectrogarden]

@tropperstopper Great Idea, but i think there's only time for a vodka oder stuff like that.

[gatedemon1]

@tropperstopper lol:D

[SuperNonoD]

Magnifique!!!!!!

Lui il n'a pas "volé" la 1er place de l'eurovision !!!

[Guysers]

Skip to 1:30

[NiallatUTube]

It's a very nice song and well renditioned by Johnny Logan.

But also check out the THOMPSON TWINS - "Hold Me Now" which is also really good in another music style.

[sunnymarky]

@NiallatUTube well renditioned? He wrote it....

[snorben]

I'd like to see a clip of him singing after he won it- I've a vague memory of his voice cracking with the sheer emotion of winning and apologising to the audience that he couldn't complete the song perfectly towards the end-anyone else remembering that or is my memory playing tricks on me?

[DiabloRoma]

@snorben Check "Eurovision 1987 End of transmission". You'll find it ;)

[snorben]

@DiabloRoma Thanks Diablo-that's great he first time I've seen it in 24 years- the intensity of the performance made a huge impression on me at the time. Love it- thanks very much again.

[Librarian1972]

Touch me the way You used to do Oh I know Tonight could be all I'll have with you From now on You'll be with someone else instead of me So tonight Let's build this memory For the last time Could there ever be a sadder verse than this in a love song? I wish I could say how much I'll miss you When you're gone How my love for you Will go on and on and... Hold me now

[saboumboum]

Could have been the main song of "the bodyguard"

[mikiebart01]

I see Johnny decided hed wear his babygrow for the occasion!!!ahahahaha

[simonemerlinthe]

i think that tozzi - raf really won that edition

[blessmeish]

[22122max]

Der Beste Song, der jemals bei einem Eurovision Song Contest gesungen wurde! Besser als der heutige Mist!

[Michalis7282]

Thumbs up if you think this is the best Eurovision song EVER!

[surfer855]

@Michalis7282 I think this is the best song to have ever won the ESC, for sure. By the way, are you Greek or Cypriot, cause Iam Greek?

[Michalis7282]

@surfer855

I'm Greek. See my video for my hometwon ;)

[loch70]

@Michalis7282 together with the italian song "gente di mare" (spelling probably wrong)

[dparker382]

@Michalis7282 Dry lips are pretty fuckin annoyin too though.

[MickBirdPF]

@dparker382

yeah that's true!!!

[hobbily]

@Michalis7282 DAMMED RIGHT IT IS JONNY LOGAN IS A LEGEND

[iryhor111]

@Michalis7282 It's the best of the 80s... to be the best ever, I don't know

[badbeatout]

@Michalis7282

No, i think it is second to Whats another year" by Jonny!

[kimo1602]

[irishdisneylover]

GOWAN JOHNNY

[skate3745]

[maz7026]

@skate3745 I agree x



[poppi74]

A Eurovision legend!

[maz7026]

@DirkMustard you are just a sour jealous fuckwit :)

[maz7026]

brilliant song, emotion and ability to sing and convey feeling unlike so much rubbish in the charts nowadays

[JeNjA1990]

I though he'd be crying O.o

[kevcarspray]

How can Ireland go from this to "Jedward" surely Ireland has talent like Johnny Logan????

[PiratesAndCowboys]

@kevcarspray Aint a singing competition its a popularity competition.

France and Spain where the best and they didnt win

[senzers69]

Behold The KING of EUROVISION.

[gobhnait63]

He sang twice and the third time he won it was for WRITING the winning song sung by Linda Martin.

[kirsty2010dodgs]

This is such an amazing song and it is so beautiful <3....although im not Irish i think they made the right choice choosing him as the winner and from i heard he won Eurovision 3 times....that is amazing....I think they should get him to represent Ireland this year instead of that horrible deaf twins Jedward

[kobiashmarux1013]

i fucking love it too. brilliant

[phdubald]

i had e real flash for this song. and it's still on me.

[Arnechk]

Gente di mare should won, its classic! This aint bad though.

[StraffeSwa]

Best eurovisionsong ever

[fruvidak]

me too.

[musicfreakme91]

i cried to this song before :(

[sautjuh]

This song won!! this song is a joke compeard to Gente di mare, Umberto Tozzi e Raff!!!

[Aideen73]

@sautjuh Gente de mare was definately awesome, but so was this - I would have been happy either way :)

[SuperBeugelbekkie]

OMG...I , (a Dutch girl) was 20 years old then. I was a little bit in love with him in 1980 when he won the European Songcontest with What's another year. This song Hold me now, comes also right from his hart and he is so handsome. By the way, he is still now.Thanx for shearing this video with us. ;)

[mysiaalmin]

wow!!!

[Terrystearsatlfc]

Saw him at the St Paddys day parade in Munich and had a chat with him. Nice Fella!

[tatuutabuu]

just nice

[danne22]

hes lickin his lips thw whole song kinda annoying

[spinout3]

@danne22 i wish u hadnt pointed that out cos its all i notice now lol.

[earthwealth08]

@danne22 lol - so true! LMAO!

[vladut06]

@danne22 emotions,pressure...



[viennaisbeautiful]

@danne22 wouldn´t have noticed if you hadn´t said that haha. you are sooo right, it´s soooo annoying :D

[artthurdaley]

@danne22 30 brain dead people !

[theanamar26]

Cute:*

[PUMAmanable]

in interval from 03:09 to 03:22 can be clearly seen that that song is dedicated to someone special. in thoose few seconds he sings with more fire than every other second. maestral performace, voice and of course his appearance. Greetings form Croatia

[Lene1973a]

@PUMAmanable That is interpretation: I see the same thing, but in other moments of the song. ;-) I remember that he said at the time that he sang it for his wife at the time for some reason, I think. I was 13 then, where's the magic gone?............... xx

[PUMAmanable]

@Lene1973a i dont know :/ and OMG my mom was 13 then :D

[geomano139]

refrain is best

[TarkanFanatic]

Dude, he just called you JOHNNY LOGAN. "Oh, hell, no , hold me now !" xD

[crmaiden]

the eurovision used to be based on songs not politics like today the three countrys that keep the eurovision alive france germany and england always finish last lool

[Frickis]

He is very looklike patrick swayzey

[OnFixxx]

@Frickis i love patrick in movie ghost

[SlankTV]

Haha he lives up the road from me, I was in a band with his son!

[ricardofreitasl]

ESC has become a voting contest of emigrants, that's why Turkey, Greece, Rumania, Ukraine and so on have always great votings. I miss this time where good songs were the winners.

[gonzo77ffm]

I was 10 years old, living in germany I was sure Wind was gonna win! And i loved it, the next morning, like usually i slept away, i was so dissapointed, but sure it was the best song, Johnny was from then on a legend!!!! Thank you, "I can't sing anymore"

[FoxGreyhound]

so fucking epic

[doldurovmile]

magnificent song

[bietske]

He looks like Patrick Swayze!!!!!!!!

[niccidoodles]

@bietske Really? Well maybe around the mouth area. Poor Patrick Swayze, I miss him :-(

[valbone9]

Tout simplement magnifique !!!!!

[tigrakos123]

are*

[tigrakos123]

the lyrics of this song i admit that are moving and strong, but the music and the melody of this song is boring to me. give me minus if you like.

[klarinetta]

I really can't say this is a good performance and in fact I find it pretty bad but then again Johnny isn't very good singer at all. For this reason I was very pleased when my home country jury in Iceland gave Johnny not a single point.

[JUMPTHEGUNZZX]

@klarinetta obviously Iceland and its people have absolutely no taste or feelings for music.

[shmuli9]

@JUMPTHEGUNZZX Well, they DO like odd things like eating rotten buried shark, singed sheep heads, and think that hot dogs are "high cuisine", and musically they've given us Bjork, and TV like "Lazytown", so no, I don't think Icelandic people are noted for their taste OR feelings for music...

[UltreaKiller]

@JUMPTHEGUNZZX seriosuly, the Icelandic people are most separated from the continent called Europe, and they have that psychology called the "island psychology", having nothing but the atlantic all around them. Look at Great Britain/Ireland for example, you can see exactly the same thing at them too.

[JUMPTHEGUNZZX]

@UltreaKiller I prefer to judge people individually, but thanks for your comment. Happy DJ'ing.

[1RomanticSoul]

@klarinetta ~ Obviously A Cold Country..

But now we know it's people also must have "cold hearts" too..

Must be a Country with the most Un-Romantic people in the World if this is the opinion of ALL your people...

Since Johnny WON you & Iceland obviously stand alone in your opinion...

This IS one of the most sad but Romantic Songs ever & as far as Johnny not being a very good singer as you said ~Your taste obviously must run in the Lady Gaga group which to me is commercial singing @ best...

[klarinetta]

@1RomanticSoul Lady Gaga is great ;)

[vigerfa]

@klarinetta ... so you must've been so disappointed that evening with the final result... apart from being pleased that your country didn't award any points to Ireland... it didn't matter in the slightest, did it?... Ireland still won..! ps.. Ireland didn't give Iceland any points either!!

[klarinetta]

@vigerfa To be honest I was both glad and disappointed with my countries voting. Sure they didn't give Ireland any points but they gave the scare horror entry from Germany 12 points. Woww I don't have to watch Scream,Gritters,The Birds or other horror movies I just watch the German entry and have a nightmare for many nights.

[eeyyee123]

thats when the eurovision was a song contest ..not the bollox it is now ..come on johhny

[shmuli9]

@eeyyee123 It seems to be a cyclical thing; from 1956 to 1982 it was AWFUL (it seems like with a very few exceptions the winners all had awful records like "Een Beetje", "Boom-Bang-a-Bang", and "Ein Bisschen Frieden", then it was good from about 1983 to 1998, then it got awful again...

[Fehnriss]

I am searching a song from J.L. that i hear first time ,while i am on duty on german Naval Air Base, in winter 1979/80 but i found that song never again, i am not 100% sure whats the name is , i hear :" when you only lonely" can anybody help me! Please message me.

[abelfastlad]

Makes me to be proud being Irish.. well done

[superbia1]

sehr schön <3

[eevaify]

One of the best eurovision singer with Sandra Kim!

[SuperKevc]

JOHNNY LOGAN & IRELAND WILL ALWAYS BE KING OF EUROVISION!!!!!!!! :)

[einfachsunny53]

auch heute noch ein suuper song , danke Johnny

[hobbily]

GORGEOUS SINGER INCREDIBLE SINGER FABULOUS SONG WELL DONE JONNY XX, WELL WORTHY WINNER

[incepatorul12]

beautiful song!!!

Romania

[HMJoker78]

Outstanding in the ESC (that time GEC) history....

[MrVelo1]

Always a thrill to hear J Logan - a genuine performer and nice guy, from Ashbourne, Ireland.

[fustyans]

One of the classic Eurovision Winners..... Rght up there along-side "Waterloo"

[MarkSissi]

Er könnte auch ein drittes Mal gewinnen

[villy27]

@MarkSissi Hat er ja. 1992 - zumindest als Texter und Komponist. Dass Johnny Logan heute noch gewinnen könnte, glaube ich nicht. Jeder Sieger zu seiner Zeit - und die Eurovision hat sich zu stark verändert, als dass er noch gewinnen könnte.

[3elwyia]

one of greatest Eurovision winners

[Jeremiemf]

proud that my country (France) awarded it 1 pt!! english language and style's hegemony has always distorted ESC!

[villy27]

@Jeremiemf When did france last time won the esc? I'm not sure, but i think even germany has won twice since then...

[Jeremiemf]

@villy27 : personally, i really don't care about french victories, for me, none of them were deserved (only amina and sandrine françois would have deserved it for me)! and i really don't like this song because it's such a cliché of a typical english-american ballad : soppy lyrics, pompous music, ridiculous interpretation, ... all i hate about a song !

[villy27]

@Jeremiemf That's typical french attitude...

[Jeremiemf]

@villy27 : ??? anyway between ireland and france that year, i still prefer johnny logan because christine minier was so horrible...

[MrStevennator]

One of the best songs which has ever won the eurovision song contest...

[sareusepeus]

Aaaah, when Eurovision wasn't about the coolest dress but the best voice!

[BaSbooSa159]

He has such a sweet voice!

[Trulyloyale]

Honestly this song has nothing to do with a piece of art and it's all about mediocre music + sugary silly lyrics + worst kind of cheesy style from above all .....!

I don't want to be disrespectful to anybody , but making such a bad song win the 1987 Contest is just a fine, typical example of why the Eurovision got into actual rubbish : it's all up to different styles, tastes , music knowledge and mental attitude by certain countries who gifted this low stuff of an unbelievable victory !

[TheCici77]

simply amazing :)

[defiraphi]

ah finaly the songs we all loved that made people smile and happy , not like those from now that delivers only violence, stupidity,sex and kinda all songs from these last years looks similar nothing genious and more of them are re-makes so it is easy to be a singer lol , same as making movies nowadays is nothing more , give us back the real singers , no wonder the 'Eurovision' from now is nuts and only political

[EuropeCountry1]

One of the best songs on Eurovision !!

HAVE GREATE DAY !

[harris5413]

it had to win for sure :D

[Isoroku1983]

Now this is what Eurovisions are all about not the complete rubbish thats on these days..

[Konsker]

i noticed that in the 1980 contest and in this one he looks diffrent espically his hair looks diffrent

[jonant2]

@Konsker ya there a few years in the difference

[mx060990]

Logan its a legend :) love his performances in Eurovision.This song is a piece of art.

[nicolepaola1]

Forever!!!

[stratosl]

My second favourite song in Eurovision, after Norway's Nocturne (1995)

[starlightxy]

Johnny Logan trat mit diesem Song an, obwohl seine Ehe wenige Tage zuvor zerbrochen war.

[Kev2077]

brilliant song

[sanjakosovic]

This is my favourite Eurovision song of all times.

[Eva0605]

I was 15 when this song won the eurovision song contest, and I was totally blown away by Johnny Logan. It was and still is my favorite song and it still brings tears to my eyes. This kind of song only comes once in a lifetime

[Jennyypenny]

i FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG

JUST EPIC

NOT JUST IN EUROVISION TERMS

THIS IS REAL MUSIC REAL LYRICS

FUCK OFF AUTOTUNED BIEBER

[vSiUaCcKoSm]

@Jennyypenny Who's Bieber?

[Mycenaea]

haha. Thought she said ''Noel Killerhand''

[yohanne14]

flawless



2:58 - 3:23 is freaking phenomenal!!! :O

[Madelene94]

wow , he's great ! i would have voted for him this year if he'd participated and i'm 15 years old. i wasn't even born in 1987 X)

[Poppcorn2468]

@Madelene94 he has won the contest 3 time :O not fake hes the Eurovision king

[justinshealy]

Simplicity itself. Great voice, great tune, great moment to be Irish.

[shalomlondon]

thats just amazing and one of the great moments of the eurovision history !!!

[pandemits]

no one could stop him from winning for a second time...

[stratosl]

What a song...One of the most memorable

[dessolin69]

I rember this eurovision way back when. At the time it deserved the best song. like everything else, its all retrospect. That been said, the votes are and will be political in these contests. only the people can make it fair. Good look in 2010. Slainte

[cristixav]

Novi Fosili should have won this one.

[JescGirl]

Ireland's best winning song:D

[DavidSandKnakMUSIK]

A great song, but not a deserved winner in my opinion: My top four:

1: NORWAY - Kate - Mitt liv

2: Germany - Wind - Lass die Sonne...

3: Ireland - Johnny Logan - Hold me now

4: Denmark - Anne Cathrine & Co. - En lille melodi

5: Sweden - Lotta Engberg - Boogaloo
