Eurovision 1991 - Samantha Janus - A message to your heart

[mpw180]

i had no idea she represented the UK back in '91

[fabfout1]

Love it. Slightly cheesy dance but what can you expect from eurovision and in the 90's. Love Samantha. x

[chileepengwin]

Yes, she is slightly off key, but she sounds like a good singer.

[pegbasket]

amazing song, deserved a much better place than a measly 10th!!!

[mackemlad888]

My God she's half the world away out of key. Its truly awful.

[meerkatluv101]

It's such a shame that she couldn't hear what key they were in and that it was such a bad song. I saw her in the lead role of Nellie in South Pacific last night and her voice was just breathtaking. This performance is not an accurate reflection of her vocal ability at all.

[euroserbia]

She's been the most beautiful UK entrant so far and she didn't sing that bad, actually quite ok :)))

[MegaPablo333]

I couldn't disagree more with the negative remarks that have - over the years - been attributed to this great song. Samantha Janus (Womack) is not only drop dead gorgeous, but she has the talent to match it as well. As for the song being no good: I can only say that if singing a song about about those less fortunate than ourselves is wrong - in this case it was about the starving - then The Isley Brothers' hit "Harvest for the World" was also no good... HARDLY

[Furienna]

@MegaPablo333: Samantha was gorgeous, and the lyrics had a good message, but other than that, everything about this entry was just wrong.

[MrT9alizee]

God thats awful,if thats the best we could do ! All credit for having a go but we shouldn't have bothered.

[marcel911]

Wow. Who told her she could sing?

[hukuk2004]

good song. If she hadn't sung nervously, she could have got a better place.

[karlwhen]

@hukuk2004 I agree, I think they should re mix this song and do it again because I think it does sound like a winning song! :)

[karlwhen]

Did anyone hear her tell the others to turn right? :)

[pufferfishish]

@karlwhen Yep, and at 2.14 she was trying to figure out what camera was on her, heheh :)

[barryhawk23]

Dreck song.. she can hold a tune though and always easy on the eye

[graybags1963]

This was awful on the night and it's got worse over the years!

[tj1483]

Better than I thought it would be - she still stands like she wants to lay an egg and smiles when singing the most inappropriate lyrics. Acting was far better a career!

[mattyh57]

stop....my ears are bleeding!!!

[IncurableNostalgic]

Love this song, one of the better UK entries. (I know it's a bit out of tune live, studio version's better).

[MrMay60]

She sings about hunger and pain dressed up to a big party with a big smile - that is crap!!

[MrSLB90]

whats this song is she is singing in the "cartolina"??

[whotaughtyou]

ADRIAN SWABY 80KPH

CHRISTINE BLEAKLEY 90KPH

[ajay999999]

What was that Italian singing about she did at the start?

[dasbinnichtich1]

@ajay999999

I found it with help from a new friend

Antonello Venditti - Ricordati di me

ricordatevi di me = erinnert euch an mich = remember me

[mtenor]

fantastic song

[lamborules93]

i would bang her

[ajay999999]

@lamborules93 Is that a message from your knob?

[MrSLB90]

@lamborules93 and i would bang the chorus too!! ;D ;D

[Paddekaka]

What the fuck is this? She can't sing!! AT ALL!!!! Fuck, my ears are bleeding.

[HateIronMaiden]

@Paddekaka Padcake, you're right.

[1zwitser]

no...sorry!

[Klovadkov]

ouch. this is painfully out of key

[BigDogsDangler]

Flatter than a Kipper's cock.

[Brumbazzen]

When I look at her, I forget to listen to the song..

[pimmagrimm]

it was like half a beat too fast

[minasthess]

oh, she is out of tune, but she is very hot!!!

[LOTUSCLK]

Well fit !!!

[LOTUSCLK]

Well fit !!!

[Ffwoa]

God bless GHD's



[pufferfishish]

2.14: 'what camera am i on??' lol

[markahope]

Who cares how she sounds....Looks beautiful!

[9Bostjan]

Wonderful song! Good luck for United Kingdom from Slovenia. My message to Samantha Janus! - Lepa pesem, naj živi kvalitetna in udarna pesem.

[gazza1190]

i think she was only about 19 when she was doing this. still fit now.

[Joshlovesradiohead]

fuck me shes out of tune!!! love her she is sexy grrrrrrr xxxx sdfgkjf

[BluebirdintheSky]

One of the best UK entries. Such a shame that Sam was a bit too young at the time to perform the lyrics without the smiles.

[lostintimeline]

samantha looked so beautiful in that contest and the song nowdays brings lots of memories.too bad the song contest isnt as any good in these days.

[xoio]

She looks a bit like a young Kim Cattrall

I bet she cringes every time she's reminded of this ... bless

[harbros1]

It cant be Ronnie Mitchell she doesnt smile

[DavidSandKnakMUSIK]

Italy is a beautiful country, and one of my favourites in ESC, and Toto had of course deserved his vic i 1990, but this show in Rome was just horrible!

[escodayuks]

shes look like ronnie mitchell

[MissOyster14]

@escodayuks she is ronnie mitchell !!!

[dasbinnichtich1]

Kann mir jemand sagen, welches Lied Samantha vor ihrem Auftritt singt??? Das wäre wirklich nett!

Do you know, which song Samantha sings befor her performance??? Thanks a lot!!!!!

[MissOyster14]

@dasbinnichtich1 i think its the national anthum of italy or something like that

[darioalarcon]

mujeres como estas 4 hermosuras podriamos tener en estos momentos talento y hermosura

[jonty9999]

Superb performance Sam !!

[tadge72]

belinda carlisle rip off but not that bad!

[straffanguy]

I love and adore this performance...purely because she tried her best 100%...it wasnt her fault the orcherstra strugled with the theme...she did her best! The song was too fast to make an impact ...it was 1991...its such a shame it wasnt slower and more effective!

[DEKILI83]

No matter what I always love songs from UK.

Even today they sent beautiful,decent pop songs....

By the way I adore this entry (my sister too)!!!

Go UK !!!

[xXxXxginaxXxXx]

i think she was just nervous watch her sing in cinderella - she is cinderella and sings so well

[123Iloveturtles123]

I like the bit stanrting from 0:34 -to- 1:16 :D

[jeliheiz]

who let her in there?

[Fabian81]

Certain people should never believe that they can sing. I've seen her acting and that was enough for me ... singing is not among her talents. The song itself means nothing special it's just a very ordinary pop song like those many others the UK seriously believe to be always the best every year. Excessive ego ... look at where they end up these days LOL

[dmce1]

ouch! harsh

[BadGirlOfAutism]

She's a bit out of tune in places but a hell of a lot better than Jemini (2003)!

[eurovisionofficaluk]

shes look like ronnie mitchell i dont thick could be her

[mog50150]

@eurovisionofficaluk it is her

[ABCFamilyRocksNessa]

@eurovisionofficaluk it is ronnie from easternders

[nakita13williams]

@eurovisionofficaluk it is her! what does the title say

samantha janus and the actor who playes ronnie is samantha janus

[Morpheus0000]

Woo--ooa---ooaaah indeed! Admirable sentiments, but this performance added unnecessary suffering to the world!

[59211bart]

'There but for the grace of God, go I' - words uttered by John Bradford while imprisoned in the Tower of London, when he saw a criminal going to execution for his crimes. It refers to the distinct possibility that, if only a bare few occurrences had been different, our own reality would have walked the same path as this reality.

[eurovisionukukuk]

great song

[zapfanzapfan]

Pretty girl with a good voice singing a socially conscious song that is not a sleeping pill. Can´t get much better :-) 

[Shilling93]

lmao! where did this come?

[ABCFamilyRocksNessa]

@Shilling93 10th out of 22 i think

[richH1987]

is she singing that in that language?

[johnglen4]

i remember that i sang this song with my very best friend near the park of a church that year and i was samantha janus and she was singing behind me..... cool year.

[WASP021]

"half the world have too much" she sings looking glam lol

[DarrellPeel]

Ronnie mitchell on eurovision..

[BillHFA]

It's hard to believe such a song went as high as 10th!

[TheGrooveThatCounts]

What is the Italian song she sings at the first?

[mattaeng]

Is this the East Enders-Birthday-Songs? Beim Schönheitspreis hätte sie Chancen;)

[TheSparkle7]

i love sam janus especialy in that rugby film up n under, the film in hole is shit but its worth watching to see her in the bare buff in a shower scene wot a big fat sexy arse she has

[KT926]

This is her most embarrassing moment

[Furienna]

Samantha Janus is really pretty, but not such a great singer, and the back-up singers are even worse. The 10th place position, which was low for the UK back then, still seems generous. I'm glad Samantha found another career in acting.

[lonelysymphony]

Are you actually going to make this comment in every posting of this video on youtube?

[Samboras4star]

@Furienna She is a lot better than some of the rubbish that gets thrown on Eurovision these days. She has a lot more confidence and strength in her voice than most but I must admit she seems to shout the higher notes.

[Furienna]

Well, I don't think she's better than a lot of the UK entries in the 2000s, which got stuck in the bottom 5.

[hillhop12]

well she can sing but shes but a actress!

[MrGaryhun]

whoes the presenter hes HOT

[katelynne14]

hahahaha!!!!!!!!! shes way way way better in eastenders!! :)

[GreekGripariZ]

shes great at singing and its quite different to eastenders

[tylerc1312]

I never knew she was in eurovision!?!

Good singer.... And actress!!!

[Jessica9407]

i love samantha! she's an amazing actress and she can actually sing even though her voice isn't that great here. but she CAN sing. she was fantastic when she sang in cinderella aswell! :) x

[lildivahett]

She is a super actress but she sings slightly flat.

[Twinklepants789]

she's not bad, just a little out of tune.

[doubletom90]

this is a good song, man!

[CharlotteEmily09]

she cant really sing Lmao

[MustangRegan]

She'd a more in tune than Jemini were in 2003. She was also singing about a worthy cause.

[radfordkelly]

nobody is as bad as Jemini and I'm Irish. I'm not ashamed to admit I loved the above song shamelessy when it came out. I was just gone ten.

[No1UkJonasFan]

she's better off singing it in the other language. i thought she was going to be okay, no offense she's not so good.

[MathsNerdEmilyy]

i don't get everyone's complaining! considering she isn't even a singer and actually an actress, i think she's pretty amazing. she looked gorgeous and she wasn't as out of tune as everyone's making her out to be. well done samantha! i thought you were great! xo

[radfordkelly]

I reckon she started off as a singer as this was in 1991 . She was only nineteen then.

[MidlandNinja]

She was so fit.... and still is nearly 20 years on

[radfordkelly]

she hasn't aged to be honest. love her. She's a good actress.

[13xxTwilightxx13]

she's not that bad she sounds better wer they are introducing her. I think she a g8 actress

[5eurocups2005]

i thought she did pretty good myself, she sound better as the song went on, she didn't do to bad for the uk, finishing 10th out of 22

[radfordkelly]

Loved it at the time. I was then.  Bless. I still can't believe it's her though.

[aimsren]

so bad

[mimicoolez]

cool

[futurevoiceforDAuk]

i luv her end note!!

[knyvette]

Poor old Sam, she LOOKED a million dollars on the night but went and sang flat!

[radfordkelly]

after watching the rubbish they've dribbled out in recent years I think it's not that bad. She is gorgeous looking. She still looks the same. She is definitely a better actress than singer.

[Gokturk13]

Never knew she was a singer

Interesting

[cbak12sg]

Totto Cuttugno, stage hogging winner of 1990 with Insieme:1992

[sgtcrag]

I am sorry but are most of you tone deaf? That live bit is awful, she only hit a few notes. Funny as hell

[PriceTags]

The orchestra were awful.

[purplestars321]

she's totally amazing at singing and acting!!! :) xx

[sparklecoco1]

shes amazing i cnt believe she played sandy in grease in the westend show!!! sooo cool! x

[Michelle1613212922]

RONNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D shes fuckin amazing & i love her shes a wicked actress and singerr ! lol

[JaSheen89]

Hotness!!

[lyttleminx]

See i think she is a fantastic singer as she is an actress. I LOVE Sam she is incredible the same as rite simons best people in the world Xxxxxxxxxx

[emzcarmody]

is she in eastenders?:O

[eatendersrule]

ye she plays Ronnie

[aqualilyjames]

It is a great song.

But I think the pressure might have got to her as a few notes were out of tune :(

[radfordkelly]

I loved it at the time. Granted I was ten years old. I know for a face Samantha Janus cringes at it now. She is definitely a better actress than she is a singer. She hasn't aged a day. I would say she looks even better now.

[MiSSCLAiR3]

Shesa better actress than singer

[TangerineeLegs]

totally

[lwsmackie4]

not as bad as these "idiots" make out.

[StewieGriffin2009]

Poor tuneless cow.

[TangerineeLegs]

she sounds like she is struggling and really uncomfortable... shes WAAAY better at acting, but she does a good powerful voice

[radfordkelly]

she is definitely a better actress. She would have been very young there too. She is gorgeous looking.

[TangerineeLegs]

i know (:

[xXxmissemmaxXx]

how do they translate her. wow

[boru1982]

holy crap wat a terrible song with one of the worst lyric ive heard.

loved game on though.
