[Fabian81]

Something tells me that the sax section in the intro was supposed to be played but ended not being heard at all LOL

[ReuterBJ]

Jag kan se den 10000 ggr det här är riktigt jävla bra!

[Fabian81]

The backing choir seems too eletric during the whole song like they were happy excited and angry at the same time .. a bit too dramatic performance from their part LOL But I was happy Tommy went for a more Michael Bolton look than that dreadful Bon Jovi look at the MF. Cool song indeead.

[DEKILI83]

This live version with orcherstra is much better then studio version!!!Great song but Yugoslavia really deserved to win!!!

[ronansex]

[Bergvallar]

1:19 WTF!!!!!!!

[elysedahlberg]

This song is still good. My dad taped the whole eurovision for me this year and I knew every song even though I was only 5. My favorite was Turkey, though.

[DaNieLa2555555555555]

one of my favorites songs from all the eurovistion song contests

[funkadelicchille]

he looks like jon bon jovi

[MetalEliot]

not even bon jovi is that ugly.

[rasandmusic]

Angående trumpetaren så var det Urban Agnas i Stad i ljus, det här är nog en i orkestern, vem det nu är.

[pauluk72]

I loved this song. By far my favourite from that year. It should have won!

[xXElitziaXx]

jag har sett honom live, han är sjuuukt bra ! :D

[MaMaguu]

jag föddes 1989 =)

[Kyoushiro89]

me2 lol :)

[Tyrun00]

vilken plats kom han på? Den här e så himmla bra :)

[IceCrystall]

Han kom fyra.

Frågar du mig så borde han vunnit :)

[sparkler1000]

Älskar denna låten. Satt och kollade med en svensk kompis här i Danmark. Hon höll tummarna för Danmark och jag satsade på Sverige som vinnare. Tyvärr vann Danmark över Sverige med en enda liten poäng.

[JockStewart3rd]

från 2:24 ungefär och framåt: samma trumpetare som i Stad i Ljus året innan?, låter som att det skulle kunna vara det iallafall :)

[minaolenkiltti79]

Sveriges bästa låt någonsin i Eurovision! Å då kommer vi fyra... Haha, aldrig nöjd! ;)

[ferretmanboy]

This song in more than 3 minutes

[frontlines94]

Sverige äger :D

[richrdroma]

Den här låten är tung ju. Åh kören, klass! Å killen med gittaren. Grym video.

[Makkelisch]

Har har bra röst, men dessvärre inga bra låtar i min opinion.

[dagdufich]

dag

[kram2one]

Very, very good.

Together with "Som en Vind "and "Las Vegas"

One of my Swedish all time favourites...

[Makkelisch]

Han har en otrolig röst, men dessvärre inte så bra låtar.

[wrigleys321]

Tommy var ju snygg på den tiden...

[davex22]

Öh vid 1:20, är det Jerry Williams som körar!?!?!

[magicadde]

Ser ju så ut faktis

[rop81]

Japp - kören består endast av kändisar (inte så kända idag kanske, men då...), förstår inte hur han lyckades få de att ställa upp som kör, men det är häftigt

[Hanka222222]

Tommy hade tidigare körat på deras skivinspelningar under sina många år som studiomusiker och de ville tillsammans visa sin tacksamhet genom att ställa upp på denna lilla gentjänst.

[woodlandguy76]

This is truly awesome - Sweden´s best song ever in the ESC, in my humble opinion.

[poetami]

this built and built and was/is very good

[Crazyfortribe]

Hur gick för honom? Nån som vet vilken placering?

[anddav507]

Hah kom 4, och fick tre tolvpoängare =)

[theswedishannah]

fick man bara sjunga på sitt eget lands språk förut ? Asså jag e 14, så jag tittade inte på detta innan, Men asså , jag menar, fuck sverige bara sjunga på svenska ?

love this song a looooot , <33

[GustafSjoblom]

Ja.

Mellan 73-76, samt 99-idag har man fått sjunga på valfritt språk dock.

Officiellt fanns inga sådana regler från början, men infördes 66 efter att Ingvar Wixell gjorde en "kupp" och sjöng på engelska 65. Innan dess hade alla artister sjungit på sitt eget språk helt frivilligt.

[gladajag]

I think this is one of the best songs ever Sweden sent to Eurovision. The studio version is brilliant.

[klarinetta]

I just say did his hairdresser miss the airplain to Switzerland ?

[setheurovision94]

In the 80s, hairdressers were paid to make your hair look like that, let's not forget!

[ColoursTrue]

First of all - I adore his voice! Very powerfull performance, even the song is not that great, but they all there made that song much better than it is (from my opinion). Also, orchestration was fantastic, very effective.

This is song is in my top 7 of that year, but I still think that Greece, Finland, Turkey, Luxembourg and especially Italy were better (actually Luxembourg is one of my favourite in that year, I listen to that song very often and watch to their performance for ''Monsieur'')

[DanceNation100]

As a fan of Tommy since his 'Easy Action' days (1986), I watched ESC 89 with interest. This was my favourite, as it was also a great song. The backing singers helped bring this song to life as they were not content to be just dark shadows in the background. This is a mid-paced song (not a ballad) which starts gently, then builds and builds towards an impressive climax with Tommy's awesome voice holding the final note. A well-deserved 4th place (only 1 point away from 3rd). Well done Tommy!

[BUKOVSCAN016]

good song,but danish was better

[setheurovision94]

Not surprising, but can't say I like this one all that much. Perhaps it's too obviously an optimistic ballad for my liking (and the lyrics are extremely unoriginal). I do give the Swedes credit for trying something in this reign - though it feels more like a gospel song to me than anything else.

[tasosk3]

A great review of the song, my friend :-) (I'm being serious here) - and, yes, that pretty much sums it up for me too. Certainly not a bad song, but nothing truly special either - and its 4th place was a bit overrated, IMO (then again, with the exception of the UK, so is all of the top-5 for that year).

[setheurovision94]

I agree - apart from the UK, I don't think the top-5 of that year really deserved it. It made me think if the juries had been listening to the same songs as me. Personally, though, Yugoslavia in the top-5 doesn't bother me - them winning, though, is another matter. I mean, this was the year of wonderful entries from Turkey, Italy and especially Spain. Another evidence to the 'eccentric juries' display.

[LCScampi]

Goodness, I thought the UK song was as dull as ditchwater that year, and the Danish one was really good! I even liked the Yugoslav one more than ours. This one I've always thought was rather dull in both tune and harmony, but I really like the performance! Over-the-top but not so much it's silly.

Both the best songs came 9th this year, for me. Odd.

[tasosk3]

Thanks for the vote of confidence to our Marianna :-) - and, yes, the Italian entry was also fabulous (Anna Oxa, what a voice!). As for your other comments (save for Tommy's performance), I guess that we agree to disagree - for one, the Danish performance was quite entertaining (if just a bit kitchy), but the song itself was quite old-fashioned and by-the-numbers, IMO.

[rjhglover]

I didn't think much to the UK entry. Sweden was my favourite in '89, Denmark 2nd favourite, Spain 3rd. Also liked the Portugese entry and the Turkish entry was so bad it was good in my opinion.
