Sahlene (Runaway) - Eurovision 2002 - Estonia

[merka288]

no vähemalt parem kui soome oma

[toxicray93]

She should´ve competed for Sweden instead, because that would have given us the best result in the 00-s.

[TheStorm550]

lol 2001 1st place

2002 3rd place

ALMOST DOUBLE WIN

[2000DavidMr]

Nice song

[laurelfan1]

HOT DAMN!!! Nice song, too :D No, awesome song!! She can REALLY sing, but HOT DAMN!!! She is HOT!!!

[MrDavid200311]

RUNAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMaxBurton]

Listen to song : R Kelly - "I believe I can fly". This is almost the same but slower !!!

[toxicray93]

@TheMaxBurton Don´t you mean faster?

[Taburett1]

Thumbs up if u watch this in 2011))

[Moomilainen]

Swdish singer of course ;) she plays Anna in Barnen i bullerbyn/The Six Bullerby Children

[britash94]

Love this song. <3 x

[MrDavid200311]

ni čudn d je dobila 111 točk

[XSunacX]

@MrDavid200311 res je :D

[Miroysti]

Go Estonia! This should have won. I hope that Finlan would send to ESC songs like this. I'm from Finland. I love Finland and Estonia too.

[EuroMelodiboy]

It's really cool :D but my fave is Spain :D

[britash94]

I was 8 when this came out :)

Still love this song, I wanted either this or UK to win <3 x

[Peearly87]

I really love this song!

[WhiteLilystar]

I remember this song, it was played alot in Sweden :) I remember I got really surprised and confused seeing her performing Estonias entry when she is Swedish XD

[TheStorm550]

ok now im remembering :O

[TheStorm550]

I don't remember this song!! And I'm from Estonia.

[123krissu]

I love this song!It makes me cry. :D Go Go Sahlene!

[LatvianBaalelinsh]

May I ask - how was the tie between this and Estonia decided? Equal number of countries voted for them, and Estonia even had more 12pointers, so how did UK got the 3rd place and Estonia - 4th?

[PrototypeZZ]

That one is SUPERSTAR..:D

[matiro1]

My favourate swedish girl in Estonia!

[noregrets1979]

what happend to my comment with 50 thumbs up?

[bigfishbovvl]

Hon spelade Anna i Barnen I Bullerbyn förut :)

[Nafsica90]

i thought of this 10 years later. that means it was stored in my head and my heart. she should have won!

[radox33]

IS A COPY OF I BELIEVE I CANT FLY OF R-KELLY!!! BUT A GOOD MELODY!!

[hreindis]

By FAR the best of 2002! Love it :D

[Maaian]

Back when Estonia sent good songs...

[francisnancy54]

My favourite from 2002... and from Estonia.

[Simmesimme13]

she looks a little bit like Charlotte Perelli!

[LakeSevet]

Should've won.

[cannonboll]

The song is great and Sahlene is a brilliant singer but the sound engineer have put the choir girls så high that you cannot actually hear the melody, pity on a good song...

[PhilipTheBigOne]

The last of 7 amazing Estonian songs in a row (1996-2002, 1997 is 10th all-time)!!! 3rd best that year (behind the un-real Maltese and French song)! One of the best up-beat ESC songs ever, wonderful, I made 7 years to love another Estonian song (2009 with Randajad, 11th all-time).

[Ohioma]

@PhilipTheBigOne According to what/who? you?

[PhilipTheBigOne]

@Ohioma: Look, I just love those 7 songs between 1996 and 2002. Here's why:

1996: So pretty and nice to listen to. And I love Maarja!!!

1997: UNREAL!!! Again, I love Maarja, but the song is SOOO mystyfying and beautiful!!!

1998: Really cute song, LOVE the piano!!!

1999: Kinda... mysterious!!!

2000: Pretty girl and really nice up-beat song.

2001: Maybe not a winner, but a HAPPY song, makes me wanna dance!!!

2002: Beautiful girl, nice tune, also makes me wanna dance!!!

[PhilipTheBigOne]

@Ohioma: And yes, according to me. And according to results. In this period, Estonia had these finishes: 1996: 5th 1997: 8th 1998: 13th 1999: 6th 2000: 4th 2001: WINNER 2002: 3rd After 2002, they had to wait until 2009 to finish this high!!! So... You may not like them, but a lot of people do like them (for them to finish that high, I can't be the only one to like them)... But I respect your opinion.

[3linmus1c]

What? she competed for estonia? :O I thought it was for Sweden, because she's swedish ... O.o

[Girasol1985]

Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn och Mer om oss barn i Billerbyn :)

[Girasol1985]

Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn och Mer om oss born i Billerbyn :)

[nimionraul]

ta on parim!

[Schrottschraubi]

Do You know the children from bullerbü? she´s one of the girls. in movie she called inga there.

[hennnuv]

the backup singers audio is too loud at 0:23 and from there on...

[sanderalvin]

Why is she wearing rags?

[Feyzala]

nice, but I reckon Urban Symphony is the best Estonian (and Eurovision, for that matter) entry ever! (2009) - made me fall in love with this country :D

[jannek26]

paremat eurovioni laulu pole olnud :D

[bellainmyheart]

Det är ju hon som spelade Anna i barnen i bullerbyn???

[Leniciso]

@bellainmyheart Ja det stämmer!

[GeneJus]

Great song, but in this version the voice is completely lost (get's better towards the end, but still not good)...I've got a live version from the Estonian qualification and that beats this version by a mile - I'm sure she didn't get worse over a couple of weeks:)

[Lunik1987]

best song in years for estonia! :)

best song in 2002!! 

[PecheMelba113]

One of my favs in 2002 !!

[emiz0]

She's Swedish!

[klinganffs]

Hon gick påskkärring hos mig när jag var liten, halva inne?

[PecheMelba113]

What a nice song !

[TheFamilyguy1997]

she is not from estonia ,she is from sweden

[HelisLOVEnia]

@TheFamilyguy1997

I always thought that she is from Estonia....than why did she represent Estonia on esc...why not sweden?

[TheFamilyguy1997]

@HelisLOVEnia i don't know... i'm from sweden and i think it was bad that she didn't

represent sweden :/

[HelisLOVEnia]

@TheFamilyguy1997 yes...runaway was the best song that year on esc ...she is a good singer....I really like her song Unbreakable....kiss from Slovenia

[TheFamilyguy1997]

@HelisLOVEnia  i did't like youre song esc 2002 :/

[HelisLOVEnia]

@TheFamilyguy1997 Well, It wasnt so bad...but I more liked Karmen Stavec (second place on Ema):)

[TheFamilyguy1997]

@HelisLOVEnia did you like the swedish song??

[HelisLOVEnia]

@TheFamilyguy1997 Afrodite? yes, they were great. But i more liked Sahlene:/

[TheFamilyguy1997]

@HelisLOVEnia meto :/

[AlarsoTV]

@TheFamilyguy1997 She didn't represent Sweden because song was composed by Estonian composers & musicians ! She just sang the song :)

[inspireradavstatyer]

2002 was such a strong year - and yet such a bad song won... Sahlene was so great!

[du7ler]

sorry but

estonia is small thats becaus we dont hawe a bigger stade . only outside is

[TheMegaKiwii]

Why the fuck didn't Estonia win 2 years in a row ? What was going on with people back then ?

[paratino01]

Estonia 2010 was awesome. Why that strange guy didnt entered in final??? From Russia with love ( despite your political views =((((( )

[coolemausis]

This is the best song this year without a doubt. To bad the backgroundsingers runis it a bit thou

[randokurel]

is this in saku suurhall?

on see saku suurhallis w?

[Senblch]

@randokurel jah

[n1cklass]

She´s my neighbour :)

[XtraCille]

Have always loved this song and remember that it was one of my favorites. Sahlene does an awsome job....just wish that the choir could have been singing at a much lower volum...can't hear Sahlenes great voice as well....

[TheViennaBoy]

This song should have won. Fantastic song like Estonia 1998, 2000 and 2006.

[niorehthegun]

I love her tits

[bellybutton20]

this was a great year for eurovision, excellent songs, of course this should have won......it is much better live on the cd

[Moomilainen]

she is swedish ffs! BARNEN I BULLERBYN!

why didn't she sing for Sweden???

[Chanette95]

You don't have to sing for Sweden if you're from Sweden. And maybe she wanted to get a little bit more famous in Estonia? I don't know. :)

[Moomilainen]

@Chanette95 yes I know, you don't have to be from Estonia to sing for Estonia ;P But Sahlene is a great singer and she had a great song that year, and it would've been nice if she sang for Sweden that year :) just because.. she's swedish :) still.. I voted for Estonia ;)

[tyrklane]

@Moomilainen

Right now you have to be from Estonia to sing for Estonia , wich is quite fair because this song originally was ment for Ines

[ThePrinzWilhelm]

This song beats all the other songs from the top 10 2002, it should've won.

[kalx007]

poor quality song - medicore euro-pop. and singer also looks trashy. we had better choices back then. should have sent someone else instead of her.

[TheSpeededVideos]

Hmh , well , i have to admit that this was really EPIC , but my favourite will always be 2001 - Everybody by Tanel Padar & Dave Benton (: .

Otherwise , this song is just .... EPIC.

[MistiSeries]

noregrets1979 you're quite stupid if you think we ( yes I live in Estonia) don't have education. but as for that Sahlene performed for Estonia I don't find anything bad in it . I think It's quite opposite really because in my option and a lot of people that I know too Ines is an awful singer compared to other's

[eoloios]

winner 2002

[maltaish]

Estonia Spain heard locate on the map thanks to the representative of Spain in Eurovision 2002: Pink

[hennnuv]

Ohhh, this pisses me really off. Sahlene you thief, Ines was planing to release this as her single and delete it from Estonian Eurosong and Sahlene stole it...

[ladyXLR8]

man she should have at least kept her legs closed in this kind of skirt or dress or whatever

[comeinnorway]

The one thing that really annoys me about this performance is that a bit of hair gets stuck in her eye about half way through and stays there. It makes my eyes water just to watch it.

[imaasikas]

the thing that disturbs me is the people sitting down there and she had her legs wide open, like1:44 - OH DEAR!?!?!

[comeinnorway]

SHocking. The question is though- Do we think Sahlene is the type of girl who wears underwear?

I have also noticed that she wears the same dress for EVERY performance of that song. She only ever changes her belt. If anyone can find a live performance on youtube of this song where she is wearing a different outfit I'd love to see it.

[n1cklass]

@comeinnorway

search for it yourself then ffs . took me 1 minute to find a performance where she didnt use the same dress.

[aqua4life1983]

Several Swedes has performed for othe contries!

[Kaz763]

does anyone know a link or website to download this song? its in my drama christmas show.

[inspireradavstatyer]

It's always crazy when a country wins and the following year enters the competition with an even better song.

[JanekBabe]

She is from sweden. why did she sing for estonia then? as an eleven year old girl she played 1987 in a children`s movie based on the novel by Astrid Lindgren. I think it was called "Bullerbyn" in original.

[casinopoker]

Just cos she's Swedish doesn't mean she can't perform for Estonia. All five winners for Luxembourg were all import by the songwriters and producers.

[Alex4u]

i think it was the atmosphere from the arena and the energy from the singer that made the song reach a top 3 place.

[Victorbcn84]

The best of 2002!! Of course!!!! Estonia 12 points!!!!!!

[1992HellFire]

what a beauty.

[The1Karlewis]

what an atmosphere- I dont think she would have done as well if she wasn't pon home ground

[sarizmusic]

Hon är så bra ! Jag har haft hennes bror som musiklärare.. Hon kom till skolan och sjöng för oss i musiksalen en gång den här låten :P HOn var så duktig och hon är en av mina favoriter verkligen ! Henns bror Joel är en duktig musiklärare =)

Kramar Sara

[perec578]

thank you

[valentinucenic]

good song. was not a good day for her voice, but the song worth a prize

[andehaj]

The true winner of 2002! She was way better than the winner and runner-up!

Go Sahlene!

[CactusG26]

@andehaj not only Sahlene, Sestre was also way better than Marie N....

[ukryan1992]

@andehaj better than the winner yes, runner up maybe. :o)

[maltamonument]

@andehaj better than the winner but not than the runner up :)

[76misza]

@andehaj She was also much much better than the Estonian entry of 2001

[NelsonEdwall]

Jag var med i Mysiga magasinet 1983 som liten!...

[magickillen]

vem bryr sig

[anuj6ela]

best ever!

[eugene957]

congrutulations estonia had the best song in eurovision 2002

[kw4894]

[jasiuss]

My oh my it was awsome

[Casheew]

[schuf1]

Great song. It did us some real favours back in 2002!

[powerdoom]

ESTONIA WINNER EUROVISION 2009

[TheCurseFilms]

its wayyyyyyyyy better than "Through my window" - yr 2006 song Estonia

[skakaochbaka]

What tha heeeeell is she wearing hahahahahahhahahahahaha

[hennuv]

She designed it herself =P

[noregrets1979]

I love her clothes, hair, legs, eyes, voice, energy

[cat0the0cat]

@noregrets1979 :)

[NinjaHotel]

some bitch messed up the sound at the beginning. Grrr!

[Alex4u]

overrated entry. it's a shame how this ended top 3.

[razerblade13]

She was born in Söderhamn, Sweden.

Not in Södertälje

[mertvak]

this sucked that we didnt won 2 in a row

this a great song!

[Kredna]

thos people in the front should be able to see under her skirt

[liina000]

gosh, the costumes were god-awful back then. i give her props for coming out as Swedish and representing Estonia,though. Must have been rather hard.

[Blirith]

Roflmao. Coming out as Swedish?! What, is that some sort of closet secret one should only disclose to Nordic friends?? :P

[liina000]

oh please...

[Blirith]

What?

[Drogba109]

Oooo, I remember this song. I loved it when I was a kid. This song is so beautiful and it seems that this women is really good person.

[Kredna]

this song is so good and shes performing it so good

[leila0098]

one of mine favourite songs ever!

[moralesss2]

muy buena cancion

[LINNEA93C]

it's a really great song

[ytubeadddict]

love her!

want to see her again in ESC

[JudeOrEleanor]

She came 7th yesterday here in one of our 4 competitions in Sweden.. Too bad, their song was one of the better in the competition.

[pommfritzo]

noo. it sucked. this is much better

[dy22f]

very nice song!!!

from moldova 12 points!

[880514JP]

this is great Estonia!!! 12 points

[brynasforever]

Saw her on Stadtfesten in Hudiksvall 2007 :D

[Livetsflicka]

I think this is Estonia's best son in ESC ever, and she is swedish. For me this song has so much gospel-feeling, that's good!!

[eeyo86]

Para mi fue la mejor cancion junto con Malta y con España. Pero como siempre no gana la canción, gana el espectaculo y otros factores externos a la musica. Espero como dice panchoxpanchox la volvamos a ver en eurovision pronto.Saludos

[xoxoEmma94xoxo]

i love this song....wasnt ines supposed to sing it first?

[Artur248]

yes:)

[panchoxpanchox]

one of my favorite songs that year! :D

what a difference between this song and Leto Svet...

[ajdin000]

Totaly agree with you!

[panchoxpanchox]

Breaking news:

She may be in Eurovision again in 2009....

She presented a song called "killing me tenderly" but this time to represent Sweden.

Plus the song is a duo with Maria Haukaas who represented Norway this year...

:)

[1993me1993]

:o What a combination

[Krissuke11]

See oli nagu väga hea laul .  :) ,

ma olin 5 aastane kui see oli ja ma vahtisin seda ema syless :D

[WTig3r]

hennes brorsa är min gitarrlärare ^^

[GenyaArikado]

i'm swedish and proud over her, but this is the only swedish blonde singer i'm actually proud of ^^ !

[hennuv]

wow swedish must relly like this XD

[VIANNOS19]

mounaros

[danne22]

haha bög nicklas

[t3quiiila]

Ja hon är ju så jäkla mkt bättre än hon som vann, både sång och musiken är bra mkt bättre. Och jag tycker inte detta för att hon just är svensk...Och n1class? Vad menar du? Vadå jantelagen...vad har det ved saken att göra???

[n1cklass]

svenska jäkla nörderier att man knappt kan va stolt över nånting har en förmåga att vara stödd av samma personer som jantelagen.´

tönterier

[hennuv]

this song was WRITTEN IN ESTONIA just the singer of it is swedish

[thefsxflyer2]

But she's a Swedish singer! :D

[3urovision]

should have won!

[angooo1]

Probably the best estonian entry so far. Even then ESC entry 2001!

[n1cklass]

the best entry so far was a girl from sweden then ;)

[Tracking88]

men snälla n1cklass?

[n1cklass]

huh ? han sa att hon var estlands bästa bidrag någonsin .

[Tracking88]

sluta vara så patetiskt stolt över att hon var svensk. Orka tro att det spelar någon jävla roll.

[n1cklass]

typisk svensk jävla tönt . får jag gissa ...jantelagen 4 the win ? haha

[Tracking88]

om jag fattat vad du menat så..

[Fieldofroses]

Men vadå, det är väl klart man blir lite patriotisk, blir inte du det?

[Tracking88]

nej.

[Fieldofroses]

Du är obehagligt lik min farmor. Det är ingen komplimang.

[Tracking88]

humor

Åh, så du räknar upp alla kategorier du inte går in i? =)
