Northern Kings - Take on me - Euroviisu-live

[tsounamis8]

i voted for them yay !

[Verons1990]

Fucking phonogram!

[Mordhereck]

When i want to do a Pentakill in Lol i listen Take on Me!!!

[RM2GFACE]

Is the audio not synced up with the video, or is this really poor lip-syncing?

[TToud]

the world wasn't ready for metal at the eurovision.

Lordi was good but I think they won because of their totally different style...

[Cousity]

markko from nightwish and terasbetoni's singer? ...... Why didn't I know of this epicness sooner

[MrJoshex]

Hail to Finland XD 

[ihmismuuri]

I missed this show entirely. This was entertainment during voting? And rules say ev song has to be fresh. Not many country sends their ev bands by public vote, most countries has small group of people who decide who's up.

[kovacs48]

Kiiirály:D



[AnzziDaVinci]

this should had to f*cking win this!

[DenatoRocksTheWorld]

The keyboard player at 0:50 made me laugh very very fuckin' hard! AHAHahahha

[retribution722]

@DenatoRocksTheWorld

lmfaooooooooo

[Wrathchild2909]

I'm surprised the entire studio didn't explode from the unrelenting awesome

[srs7593]

This looks too much like a backstreet boys show XD

[nhojohn]

@srs7593 but here we see actual talent. those vocals could stop a comet.

[Metallaro66]

Tony is the best!

[k8bitgamer]

I can't even imagine being there. It would be too overwhelming. How do you take all that in at once?

[fr0z3nskull]

So this is what it's like if a group of metal singer formed a boy group.

Pardon me, I meant MEN BAND!!!!!!!

[WOCO95]

finnish EUROvision !?

[madozzyfan]

Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.....

[dujohannes]

OMFG this is the best version of Take On Me!

[jackzero99]

@dujohannes you gotta be kidding me

[dujohannes]

@jackzero99 sorry, the best "cover version"

[dadikiuz]

Finland sure knows how to play metal!

[greeenrain]

They weren't trying to get into Eurovision! This was just live performance while they calculated the votes in Finlands eurovision final!!

[shane69999]

a little over the top...... i cringed all the way through it

[jAmDaManN]

That keyboardist! O_O my god, the energy's got me headbanging too xD

[mrkillitoss]

cant figure out if this is playback or just backtrack?

(and yes , the singing to)

[MrsSoley]

@mrkillitoss Instruments are playback, but it's live vocals. Unfortunately this video is out of sync.

[SammySingally]

I soo love this band! Tony, Jarkko, the other singers... the pianist!

I kinda liked the original of this song, but I sooo L.O.V.E this one!

[MrStoopidmonkey666]

36 people are musically challenged.

[Pogatetz27]

That keyboarder must be a successor of the founders of headbanging!

[YoeriStaal]

@Pogatetz27 Impressive how his head never slams into his keyboard.

[Pogatetz27]

@YoeriStaal It's just absolutely briljant!

[Peulea]

omg.... Marco!!!!!! so powerful voice and... what a beautiful hair!

[kitdeathproductions]

That guitarist, wheres he from?

[Repl1c4FIN]

@kitdeathproductions He is Erkka Korhonen from Finland.

[kitdeathproductions]

Marcos trademark wail at 2:38-2:47

[tt135l]

@Chad01234

This band was FORMED by the 4 great finnish bands which makes it the "Northern" "Kings". The headsingers are singing in this. Of course they have to keep working on their own bands too.

[Chad01234]

For god's sakes - every one of those guys could front a great band! wth! lol

[LNRansom]

@Chad01234 And you know the best part of it? They all do (or at least one of them used to) front great bands lol!

[quirkyfawx]

It's too bad that we don't have anything like this in the States anymore. I really think I should just move to Finland.

[SchyteOFBODOM]

i was disappointed to realize that its a playback: (

[ErkkaKorhonenGuitar]

@SchyteOFBODOM It is actually singback. Instruments from a hard drive and live vocals. Too bad it seems to bee out of sync... If you noticed JP screws up with the lyrics on 2:23.

[tt135l]

They never were in eurovision contest. This was shown as extra when finnish were choosing competitors for eurovision. I was watching it from tv. As a finn i know

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

England has shit euro vision singer. I wish Iwasfrom Finland

[efdlo23]

Madre miaaa!!!!

[FourFeathers94]

They were in eurovision? I'm assuming they lost pretty handsomely since the finnish press didn't mention it? Which place did they finish in, if they even made it into the finals?

[jcroga]

simply beautiful!!!

[alma20vomastek]

indeed,four northern kings!!!!even if,honestly,they're more like 4 northern gods of music^_^.wonderful!!!!!

[hugenote2]

tony is the best

[victorianvampstudios]

This is the video I show people when they say metal singers have no talent. :3

[lintuaiello]

the voices go slower than them

[iagoliimatainen]

Why is Boromir playing guitar? lol

[Volgrand]

@iagoliimatainen because he died, but the God of Metal knew he ROCKED so hard, that he had to come back and became the guitar for NORTHERN KINGS!!

[GuitarBill13]

@iagoliimatainen his father,Denethor forced him because Elrond called for it!!

[acoliferamente]

stop saying EPIC to ALL

[Gigodem]

@acoliferamente epic comment

[rashalfarid]

@acoliferamente Can no do. This shit IS epic.

[trelopaokig4]

epic overdose!

[Runningtail]

is that a skinny finnish jack black @ 0:18?

[camfrogw]

that makes me say the european bands are much better than american bands by far in lives

[TheLadyMarguerite]

peinlich

[alma20vomastek]

OMG,they sing& look EPIC!!!the perfect band for metal fangirls ^_^

[Renew3D]

They're too good for Eurovision anyway.

[Gtakato]

remember guys no matter how good u are, if the tv company can not sell u as they want... so they just take on the next one

[XXbAtTLeSuitXX]

Does anyone know if northern king was one of the participants to go to eurovision that year? if they were, why the FUCK were they not choosen?

[antonsdefrancua]

@XXbAtTLeSuitXX As I understood they I didn't get. I think if they would be chosen they could win!

[XXbAtTLeSuitXX]

@antonsdefrancua Yes no doubt about it! 

[Manowarrior1992]

Why ? why do they send a damn faggot to eurovision instead of them Oo?

just unbelievable shit and epic fail.

[vegito1991]

How is it even possible those 4 BEST names didn't make it to Eurovision....just...how..

[Yarikh91]

the people sitting down and waving glowsticks are a rather depressing sight.

this... this is not how this music is supposed to be appreciated. you don't have to thrash the place, but... FUCK you guys. :|

[MonniLuffy]

Why the heck didn't they get to the Eurovisions?!

We had to be in that competition with some random Waldo's people which sucks!

[drsmith1231]

The singer with the really deep voice made me jizz my pants it was just epic!!!! :O I want his babies!!

[kocabko]

very bad very bad .....i hope,.this shit is out of the competition...crap.absolutly crap

[Paronaze]

32 persons are not taking with them... Send them to the Eurovision!

[linedepicard]

haha the guy on the keyboard^^ cool^^

[92centurychild]

The truth is that the music is playback but They sing live :)

[CxHxA9]

epic song this is the best cover of NOTHERN KINGS

[arziehi]

The epicness of a playback song :S

[SweetArion]

@arziehi It is not playback.

[clockwork421]

Finnish television slays all.

[Gothika26665]

its so epic the video's lagged a second or two because it cant contain that much epic at once :P

[peacemaker899]

@Gothika26665 It's so epic that it turned my dislike button to a like button.When i pressed both of them they fused into one epic button that completly destroyed my monitor.Had to buy a new one today. I must ask youtube to fix this error,imagine if this would happen to every Northern Kings fan...that would be a a state of national crysiss. O.o

[mexashezaza]

4 epic singers are singing for us

[mrmons95]

playback???

[SweetArion]

@mrmons95 Nope, it's not.

[ToBmEiStErCheeF]

send them to the eurovision.

[c0med14]

This is good... I love these singers... They are so beautiful. Amazing voice...

Me encantan estos cantantes especialmete Marco y Jarkko, son demasiado buenos y en sus bandas (Tarot y Teräsbetoni), también. Ojalá dejaran de sacar solo covers y compusieran con Northern Kings....Marco o Jarkko- guitarra o bajo y JP y Tonny se reparten la batería y el teclado.

[Alacrityxomg]

whether he broke his neck XD?

[jinnythesquinny]

APPROVED

[gogetrunksssj10]

marco's trousers are awesome

[chadvarn]

i loled when i saw 0:55

[jonzu90]

Finnish people voted the fucking waldo´s people to go in eurovision instead of this...and they say it is a lottery win to be born in finland. OH THE PAIN!

[SeattleSk8rChick]

DAMN!!!!! THEY ARE HELLA GOOD LIKE HELLA!!!!!

[cript0n2112]

heavy Il Divo?? xDDDD

[PatrickConell]

Northern Kings US tour? Please?

[1985774]

Thank you Northern Kings you have ruined this song for me. I will never be able to listen to the original again cause it will sound lame

[snuggiesful]

just finnished listening to recorded version I wanted to hear a live performance because I couldn't believe those strong clear voices were real.they are!! their voices remind me of judas priest lead singer in the 'painkiller' song wonder if they've had any classical opera singing training and it's weird (in a good way ) that they do so many american cover songs with those voices.I'm glad i checked out reel big fish's version or I probably wouldn't have ever discovered northern kings version wow

[killingblow528]

@Summerbreeze1616 In short, you have no taste, you are oblivious to what the word "harmony" means, you can't hear parts of the song ( 1:01 anyone?), you don't anything about the genre or culture, you are a troll, and most important, you are a fucking idiot. Have a nice day.

[MrMarcoisgod]

@killingblow528 i believe hes got the point now killingblow.nk are truely awsome but iam really a marco fan,and tony fan.some really good high notes can be heard by marco at 0.57 and 1.04.marco streches his powerful voice like no one ive ever heard ,and tony every time he sings is great,because of northern kings i found out about the band charon,and i favorited the song colder.iam truely sold on finish metal.if he saw the cover of nk the clothes they are wearing would make more sense.

[MrMarcoisgod]

@killingblow528 for what its worth ive glad to have seen a person on here from the usa as i'am fom north carolina myself .its good to know their people in the states who like this kind of music also..

[killingblow528]

@Summerbreeze1616 You are fucking retarded. First, they were originally a 4-man group. That's like saying that a band member can't play bass AND guitar AND drums AND sing at the same time. Second, one of them did hit the high note, so he probably could. Third, what the fuck is the point of a cover if it's sung the EXACT SAME. Fourth, you described the whole genre in which they're singing in your [second to] last sentence. It's COMMON in that culture to wear clothes like that.

[hugozz59]

@Summerbreeze1616 they didn't get the high notes, because they don't have too: their voice is already a fuckin' awesome voice, so they only have to sing without imitate another guy's voice..

[CynicDesire]

either this is way off sync....or they're lip singing

[MrsSoley]

@CynicDesire This video is way off sync, but you can find another video of this same performance where the audio is in sync here: watch?v=cRE5nICkEEo

[MrMarcoisgod]

@Summerbreeze1616 i like tony but marco is the best.marco can get so high he can make a bathroom light go on and off.youtube has it on here.

[irn909]

TONY the best...

[willdaslayer]

They have their own style. They take the legendary songs of the past and bring them into the symphonic metal genre. The main point of the band was the four singers, arguably some of the best in metal today.

[Overture2152]

@Summerbreeze1616 ok then: Tony Kakko : Sonata Arctica, J. Ahola: terasbetoni, Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto: Charon, and Marco Hietala: Nightwish, and Tarot. the four singers up there each one has their own bands they play in. do research before you talk shit.

[Overture2152]

@Summerbreeze1616 apparently you don't understand the point of headbanging, the aristocrat style of clothing, and the point of the band doing metal versions of 80's hits. also nice try troll.

[GlydeBane]

@Summerbreeze1616

Guess you don't get the point of Northern Kings.

[Littledragonlee]

I am totally in love this these guys.

They also qualify for a shampoo advert!

[Zacouris]

@Summerbreeze1616 Because not everyone has a voice like Justin Bieber and A-ha's singer, not everyone can reach the high notes.

[Mirrosalone]

wtf a band with my 4 fav singers,,I´m DREAMING

[Retsiemnexeh]

I bet everyone would have loved that band. Really dont know why you didnt send them. They are just awesome!

[Vijiaru]

This version of the song were actually kinda good..

[TheSlee1234]

This is possibly THE most epic cover of an epic song I have ever heard...

These guys are so god damned awesome!!!!

[Gottenks94]

0:55 keyboarder epic headbanging!! xD

[Hamm468]

@Gottenks94 I do that all the time. Talk about major whiplash.

[ellessaar22]

@Gottenks94 Almost like Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish during his days of youth :)

[ninkapatenceto]

They sounds great \m/ Love that song \m/ Finnish metal rulz \m/

[Frooilla]

I love what they are wearing :D

Most importantly this is amazing!!!

[TheMicco1]

Always be thinking.. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT RUSSIAN FLAG DO THERE IN 1:04 ?!?!!?!!

[paleceumacolneta]

@TheMicco1 well...what's the problem with some russian fan wavin' his national flag??

[TheMicco1]

@paleceumacolneta well.. nothing.. but, just thinking that is a finland's show, not russian's...

[Tim7676Tim]

lol would be indeed nice to get them to the eurovision, they'll win for sure!

[nymphetamine753]

omfg!this is AWESOME!!!!!!!

[Littledragonlee]

Such amazing voices! I've just died and gone to heaven!

[94Connection]

Maybe it's a good thing they didn't win the eurovision! Because if they won it they would become more mainstream and now it stays exclusive! :)

[arekmondo]

2:07 too bad playback from laptop :D

[Christoph21y]

Wooooow... I didn't know that they nearly ALL have such a fabulous voice! When do you finnish guy come down to Switzerland??

[Wreckeningbassist666]

WOW, the TALENT!!!!

[MetalMaker100]

LLO! The drummer look at his watch ! xD 2:05

[Kikizeplz]

Marco & Tony = epic.

[heckelmenot]

Is it just me, or is the audio exactly a half note behind the video?

[SisterNajade]

@heckelmenot

Nope, you're right. -.-

[halelujavoe]

I hope that they won this competition!

[llNllExo]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooddd­ddddddd :D:D:D:D

[SeeK666PL]

metal-boys-band \m/ >< \m/

[PoplovPanda]

they should add a female singer ! =D

[legolasnumberthree]

@PoplovPanda They should add the singer from Nightwish :)

[northeromen]

Is the video out of sync with the audio or has my computer gone kaaput?!

[LP0FireBird0LP]

EPIC KEYBOARDIST. :D :D :D :D

[odinkrigsgott]

a boygroup from Finland ... xD

Tony rules !!!

[sirisaak]

Damn, I'm really into metal as well as a lot of eighties classics but this SUCKS. It lacks power and most of the vocals are simply lame or cheesy...

How gay. BRRR!

[anasixx]

@sirisaak How can you say THOSE VOCALS are lame?! They are amazing!

[sirisaak]

@anasixx I don't think so. I find it amazing how such a large group of metal musicians can make a POP tune sound so lame. Also being a good vocalist does not imply you can sing ANY style. None of the vocalists here sound good enough on this song. Also the combination of vocals is utterly dull. Mostly low registry whereas Morten's original is all about the high notes. I'm truly missing that here. Also musically they've made a mess of this classic.

[anasixx]

@sirisaak I would say that they just made it better.

[shane69999]

@anasixx

you have no taste!!!! thats for sure

[joicemedia]

Ridiculous and gay.

[Gerwalk1982]

Only Chuck Norris can be more awesome than this... and I doubt it.

[corneaali]

the guy on the keys is epic :))

[jenskeroro]

The sound is a little of but its OK. The vid is still great. BTW look at th piano player, he didn´´t stop headbanging for a second.

[shane69999]

@jenskeroro

headbanging to a gay dance classic... now THATS GAY

[jenskeroro]

@shane69999 yah

[MrMarcoisgod]

@shane69999 i hate to comment on a three month old post but head banging is the greatest feeling to do in metal.you are right that this a classic,and i like a-ha and the video they did for that song was light years ahead of its time.but northern kings take the old songs and make it into metal.try listing to symphonic metal ,or melodic metal ,because they have great feeling in lyrics unlike the hiphop,and rap shit.ive been called racist for saying that but iam not.if people think it f off.

[shane69999]

i see why they lost..... before they even started singing

[TheMicco1]

@shane69999 to u, they didnt even take part to eurovision.. Northern Kings was just doing little show in there...

[RunningWithin]

@shane69999 What did they lose? They were just performing a gig, they're already highly successful artists signed to major labels and everything.

You lose for being an ignorant fucktard.

[shane69999]

@RunningWithin

so is GAGA.... and your argument is where NOW???

[RunningWithin]

@shane69999 Pssht, this ain't no Warner Bros label, this is Nuclear Blast, kid.

Go back to your fag Jonas Brothers, or My Chemical Romance and get off of this video. It's too epic for your ilk.

[jenskeroro]

@shane69999 why?

[yayforbannanas2]

these would have won eurovision easy

[Nebelmond]

What happened to Leppäluoto at 02:19? he forgot the lyrics? 'oO

[689otto]

Tony kakko should have more parts since he clearly sings the best XD in my opinion

[lordofmadness1]

@689otto amen!

[MrTh1rteen]

Ok, I know JP, Marco, and Tony... is the 4th guy the guy who quit Dreamtale?

[ANTTU24]

@MrTh1rteen He is from Teräsbetoni. He was in eurovision songcontest already :D

[rocknymm]

nice viersion they are like A ill divo dark version LOL...

[nerdsathome]

What are you guys supposed to be?

[brawlmaster45]

Audio is a little off but its still a great version of the song.

[metalman6886]

They literally are the Northern Kings...a superband of epicness.

[KirkYeomans]

COOL VERSION! I like it!

Check out mine if you get a chance! :)

Thanks Kirk

[Tu0mazz]

Awesome playback performance.. sad bat true in this kind of shows :(
