[hrmlarson]

[denni342]

[escalopin2]

Rogen Pontare absolutely rocks.

[laphoo]

You cut to early in the song.. The best part is coming up!

Men iaf, detta är en så grym låt! Får rysningar varje gång :)

[SnookRules]

ROGER PONTARE <3 förmodligen sveriges bästa röst.

[SweetACAforever]

vad kom dem ?? på för plats i eurovisen?

[thijsj88]

I'm watching esc since 1998 and this is one of the greatest!

[MrEscape7]

This is embarrising

[RidgeRPG]

@MrEscape7 och du är runt 14-15 gissar jag?

[MrEscape7]

@RidgeRPG Nära, jag är 16. men jag står vid min åsikt.

[Keyzya]

Får gåshud varje gång jag hör den här låten, fast bättre på svenska

[guggaman1]

Jag har gått från 2010 och ner hit till år 2000 igenom Eurovision... det blir bara mer och mer nostalgi, och samtidigt så ser man hur TV har ändrats de senaste 10 åren.

[Manne18]

I remember he was so touched of the moment that he forgot the most of the lyric:)

[hannesthefreakl]

he sings about the rights and respects of minorities and don't even seem to dare to sing in another language than globalising english.

[SelSun83]

why isn't the whole song?

[DrPown]

Probably the only and last song sweden send about our natives xD

[31m0r0]

@DrPown Hopefully not...

[MajinVegeto89]

varför klippte du bort sista biten? onödigt

[dissadavgud]

@MajinVegeto89 den biten är typ bäst

[Luminas95]

Det känns mer passionerat när han sjunger den svenska verisionen.

Hans närvaro känns ändå mycket mäktig.

[Luminas95]

Det känns mer passionerat när han sjunger den svenska verisionen.

Men hans närvaro känns fortfarande mycket mäktig.

[EvigtStolt]

haha love it how he pronounce his name,German?

[MeLoveMusiic]

vilken placering kom han på??

[Dominictepico]

@MeLoveMusiic kommer riktigt inte ihåg 2-3 tror jag

[Farfarsorgel]

@Dominictepico Njeh, Ryssland kom tvåa har jag för mig. Och Lettland trea.

[luminoustarisma]

@MeLoveMusiic 8 har jag för mig.

[lillross]

[turkey388]

wonderful song

[TheColdNorth]

I love the Jojk in this song... <33

[mange910208]

does he not sing at 1:09 sweden in my heart?

[Jaitro]

@mange910208 I think he sings freedom and someone else is singning spirit.

[olivonda99]

@mange910208 freedom it is



[SaNBeanz]

I fucking LOVE this song! It's too AWESOME!!! Can't help myself XD

[Salasur]

[lysser17]

hahahah lol roger pontare e bäst

[Osynliig]

this is not crap , its good.

[421KxxE]

Why does it stop at 2:52?

The song doesn't end for like another 30 seconds :s

[SaNBeanz]

Awesome song!

[Mibmu]

Not so weird, the original song is in Swedish, so not so weird if he forgets the lyrics because of that.

[mpw020988]

Sorry, but that's no excuse..

If he can't remember the English lyrics, then he shouldn't perform it English.

Then he should just rather sing "När vindarna viskar mitt namn"..

[theKARSE]

i totally agree.. thats no excuse - the text is very simple ... I learned it on a couple of minuts.. his job is to sing and perform .. how hard can i be

[luminoustarisma]

Ni kommer hata mig för detta, men varje gång jag hör "roger pontare" tänker jag bara pensionärspunkare... Ledsen, men det var det min bror kallade honom 94 när han vann över min pappas bidrag...

[jfrog1000]

i dont get it. it looks kind of like a viking living with native americans. i thought this was swedish. too weird for me

[Demon2k3]

This a sami outfit, the samis are the swedish natives, originially being nomad but settled in the northern parts of scandinavia.

[jfrog1000]

oh now i get it .thank you. feel kind of stupid now. i thought they were called lapps though or is that an english word

[Demon2k3]

that is the enlish word as i recall, so you're not entirely wrong on that account

[keglelaila]

@jfrog1000 You are not that off Lapplander or lapp is just the word for people living in the Northern region known as Lappland which ethnically includes both Sami, Kvæner, Swedes and Norwegians while the Sami is the ethnic group of which most live in Lappland some outside Lappland as well

[roflrickard]

swe version is mutch better, eller som vi säger på svenska episk ;)

But that is because the lyrics on swedish is mutch more of a power song, in english it dosent have the same power.

[smektbyme]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[LTsaltey]

bättre på svenska =)

[InNeverMind]

den låten äger:)

[Chuaos]

jag kommer ihåg när den här gick på raidon när jag var lite.... synd att jag inte såg det här, för jag var för liten -.-'

[ivanchica21]

i love this man's voice!

[coeurdefille]

Wouw.... Very good. I love that. I didn't watched the Eurovision in 2000, probably working. How did they do ? In the top 3, I hope...

[lynxe22]

6th

[FilCroft]

7th

[MeLoveMusiic]

hahaha omg! i remember that xD

[snabbpenis]

yeah i think also swe version is better

[NEKOCHANNiE]

This is sooo good. seriously... The swedish version is better, though.

[zingostar]

nice one

[hetty72]

awesome

[Sevenfold94]

But the swedish text is much better..

[Grivigro]

that song is really good, i remember when i saw it 9 years ago, i thought i shouldve won. the swedish version is better

[theKARSE]

saw it when i was 9 too and really wanted it to win!!!!! but i can't complain cause denmark won that year..and i'm from denmark

[Furienna]

I went to the same school as Roger's son!

This is really good, by the way. Much better than "Stjärnorna" from 1994.

[Illuminator85a]

i love this. it's so good i get chillz done my spine..

[ryxxer]

I love this song.. but i like the english verson best... Im norwegian, and i understand it bether..

[Pinkaugust]

I think this song is about being proud for who you are, where you are from and wherever you live. Defend your home, if it is in Bosnia or Sweden or America, makes no difference, we all fight for the same reason, our family and homes.

That is the reason this song is so beautiful. It tells us to be what Sweden once was, and could be again, if we just don't cave in on everything. BE PROUD, BE STRONG, FELLOW SWEDES!!

[ImaginarySandra]

I love this song and his voice. I don't think I have to mention that the swedish version is better. =)) <33

[theKARSE]

the english version is the best... it's not only the swedes that should be able to understand it..

[EurovisionSongCon]

why does it stop when the song aint done ?

[davidnilsson94]

vad kom han???

[Firefox90]

7:a

[ma82fo]

Good song, but the swedish version is better. One of the few songs we swedes have sent to ESC that I´m truly proud of.

[EinZwergkaninchen]

I actually like the english version the most. i think it sounds more powerful. though i totally agree on the being proud-part.

[haydemunch]

dont forget framling!

[theKARSE]

indeed a nice song - WAY BETTER I ENGLISH..at least the danes understand then

[Sebbelus]

The Swedish version is so much better!

[theKARSE]

noooooooooottttt

[Takeitandleaveit]

damn we are good sweden:D

[coopstian]

this song i very good, the other guy who sings, samen, is he norwegian :)

[DogSwede1]

Can't get any better,, ;)

One of very few songs we're proud of in esc. :)

[Thevasagats]

I like this song...

[Vindeln]

shlick = arab.. go home

[Veil0fVisions]

Suger som FAN att inte hela låten är med!

Varför ladda upp en halv låt???

>:(((

[chileepengwin]

good song. deserved a better placing.

[Silkiie92]

which place did this song come on?

[chileepengwin]

7th place with 88 points.

[Jensoffer]

The swedish lyrics is much better and it's patriotic. The english version is just wrong. The message is missing.

[McCorrupt]

I agree. The swedish lyrics for När vindarna viskar mitt namn is much better.

[chileepengwin]

how is it patriotic? and what is the message supposed to be?

[shlick]

There is no message, this song is a disgrace to Sweden. (Only the racists from northern Sweden likes this song, but us civilized people from the south just find it to be pathetic.)

[Tracking88]

What?

What do you mean with "south"?

The swedish racist party sverigedemokraterna has its strongest support in southern sweden, while it has none support what so ever in northern. So I think you got it very wrong.

[shlick]

Im talking about Stockholm, the only civilized place in Sweden.

[Tracking88]

Stockholm is the most pathetic capitol in Europe. Im sure Moldovan capitol can offer more than stockholm.

There is nothing unique about stockholm.

Besides, there are several racists sitting in the local parliamants of stockholm.

In nothern sweden - none.

[shlick]

But people on the countryside is poor and shit, at least in Sweden.

[Tracking88]

you look down at people if they are poor?

You are, of course, dumb.

bye

[mieroth]

shlick - you're not even Swedish, so what the f**k are you talking about?

[shlick]

And you're an Australian half breed.

[mieroth]

Boohoo. I'm Swedish. :) But you do not live in Sweden so why should I listen to your criticism of the song/Swedes?

[shlick]

Jag kanske visst bor i Sverige?

[mieroth]

Country: Serbia and Montenegro

No you aren't. At least not mentally.

Shows since you appear to know very little about Sweden/Swedes. :)

[mieroth]

Excuse me. Stockholm is my hometown so I'd prefer if you did not bash it. :(

[Mikja898989]

Say that again and feel my rage

[theKARSE]

shut it - your ignorant thing !

[WihlWihl]

wtf?

[theKARSE]

well the message is to accept who your are and accept others for who they are... not something that reminds me of racisme at all... watch your language - and you call yourself civilized..

[mieroth]

Both versions are about the rights of minority groups, but in Swedish this is not as obvious so some right-wing nationalists interpret the song differently. NOTE TO EVERYONE: He is not talking about Sweden, he is talking about Samiland. -.-

[GargilliGargivlo]

quando gli spiriti chiamano il mio nome

nar vindarna viskar mitt nahm!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry...my swedish isn't so good!!!!

[Lolkita]

good song ;)

[Dimpedicurs]

cuando los espiritus llaman mi nombre

[KazamaKetchup]

1999, Take me to your heaven won ''sweden'' so all of them is in sweden ?

[CapnKrunk123]

fantastic song, nearly brings a tear to my eyes

[justastepaway]

no where's the end? The last part is missing....great song though.....I love it lots

[jagvillintevaramed92]

Maed rooegeer pountaraee

[anddav507]

One of the best swedish entries ever!

[Macovic]

one sami, one east-sibirian, one crow/blackfoor, one eskimo/inuit

[Macovic]

unfortunally, the music which wins in eurovision song contest wins because those songs are easy to remember, not because they contains anything special. a lot of people voete that doesn't understand music.

this song is cool. it connects people of the entire northern hemisphere along the 65 to 75 latitude

[noonespeciel]

This song is ten times better than Denmarks.

How could we win?

How we get all 12s?

I'm sorry we won

[theKARSE]

the danish was good as well..

[Pjvdl]

Why didn't this song win?

[Makkelisch]

Ask the other Europeans, not the Swedish

[UKLadNathan89]

Because it was too much of a required taste.

[theDumle]

Jag älskar vrålet som långsamt stiger vid 29 sekunder. Ja såna här låtar borde vi skicka! Jag tror alltid att han sjunger "with sweden in my heart" i första refrängen xD Seriöst det låter verkligen som sweden. :P Kanonlåt!

[mmbitoz]

Eller hur! Jag tror Sverige skulle lyckas bra i dagslägget med en "etno-låt".. eller vad man nu kallar en sånhär ? Nordman!

[kastatonov]

Väldigt nationalistisk låt.. SNÄLLA skicka en snhär underbar låt nästa år. Det här är riktig musik. Pontare må va egen men fy vilka bra framträdanden han gör, och röst han har!

[SaraThat70s]

Bättre på svenska!

[zezimma93]

jävligt bra

[Efeeeeex]

Refrängen ger mig ståpäls :D

[Raberg15]

best song in eurovision ever!

[esc4all]

this is awesome,in my top 50 songs ever!

[nenyablackrose]

Jag älskar denna låt, jojken är det bästa!!

[Jonny2myren]

Grym låt, men som sagt ganska dåligt att slutet inte är med.

[laphoo]

varför är inte hela sången med..??? ~~~ älskar slutet

[Exxzo]

VILKEN JÄVLA MÄKTIG LÅT!

[Nonchiie]

han har lätt coolaste scenkläderna! varje gång han är me i schlagerfestivalen. beats allt!

[escNOOOB]

han skulle haft kvar svenskan=((..mäktig song

[Xcimeister]

He should have kept it in swedish.. much better :P

[GBGPUNX]

better in swedish though

[dedder13]

best song!

[Sarah3025]

Fabulous!

[maktskifte]

Hela låten var ju inte med!

[Kaptenfitta]

skulle vara coolt ifall han c-waklade

[Nikitaro]

I feel pretty Retarded...

Did he win the ESC this year, cuz I can't remember who did...

[Lennoe87]

Denmark won that year, with "fly on the wings of love"

The best song that year of course :P

[Cinder90]

Beats Lordi back to hell where they belong!

[Aliceeee89]

A real powerful song from sweden

about the first swedish people

but the swedish version is much better

[Moonshadowhawk]

yayyy yeah wonderfull song with a real nice content...... Samis and Native American rules in this song

[rulerofGW]

For some reson i think the song sounds bertter when it is in sweedish, and with Hammerfall. The video is called "Hammerfall feat. Roger ponare" if anyone wants to listen to that. =]

[Merglith]

I agree! It seems like some of the content disappear in the translation, or something. Swe is best on Swe! Hammerfall forever!

[tjeurouk]

Angus Deaton made a comment about this song in a Eurovision comedy documentary, which always makes me laugh.

''Some may feel we're watching a physcadelic tribute to the 'I Feel Like Chicken Tonight' campaign.

Coudnt agree more...still a class song though

[PoodleAngel]

this song is not about indians it's a bout the first swedish peoples in the north cald ''Samer'' and Roger Pontare is half same

and it's not idians singing in this is same song

[Ostronet]

Love the Yoik!

[theres85]

Han är nog Sveriges bästa sångare, samma sak som att Carola är vår bästa sångerska. Roger Pontare skulle passa i hårdrockslåtar.
