Vocally, I find her perfect, and her English is without flaw. A rare combination in Eurovision.. En solklar vinnare, från era grannar i öst :)

[yoni0707]

[Lillyvon]

[thatsme1945]

Best song never to win Eurovision.

[Lillyvon]

@thatsme1945

Could not agree more! Love this song so much - so sexy, great tune and beautifully sung! I'm not a leso - but even I wanted to sleep with Maria - in the most tasteful way possible of course! Sexy girl singing a damn sexy fantastic song!

[thatsme1945]

Best song never to win Eurovision.

[thatsme1945]

Best song never to win Eurovision.

[thatsme1945]

No doubt this should have won. Then again the best song hasen't won for years due to block voting.

[leftmano]

the dancing part of the performance was great!! Especially the very difficult hands motion!!! Congratulations. :P :P:P:P OK,just joking! The song was really great, my favourite one- although it is quite oldfashioned. But so do I.

[tecktogueshx]

good song but everybody knows that Portugal was the winner that year :-/

[Ikurun]

@tecktogueshx I'm Norwegian, and I agree. But I love this song too. I don't understand how Portugal did so well in semifinal, and then got so few points in the final.

[33hagit]

she was one of the best that year i loved the russion song too tnad the girl from greece was impressive too, if i had to choose only by vocals that would have been her or dima

[OrthrusTails]

i cant believe the greek girl who couldnt sing got 2nd... she did right?? i think norway was top 5... come on, how can a greek girl who only lays on sex beat this gorgeous norwegian viking?? (russia won) eurovision is weird stuff...

[vnuchara]

Эта песня должна была выиграть!!! Шикарно...

Amazing song!

from Russia with love.

[cvetzjuga]

She was the best! The real winner of 2008 <3

[pandzida98765]

@cvetzjuga Armenia :P

[Tepel1]

Norwegian women are so marvellous! I always admire their beauty. I love Norway! ))

[99845757]

Mamma mia how nice....its amazin how beatiful the woman is and her voice, is like she cryin while shes singin

[HOUGYF]

Really good!

[Neznakomka198]

yes, that's it! Song that can make people hope that everything will be really good, we just need some time to wait!!!

[darkko666]

asbra

[Eurofan2006]

She absolutely deserved 5h place

[bjkbjk9]

i think it s too much better than rybaks gay song but i dont think that the song has to be in the top 5 , maybe 7th place

[escgreece]

Good song!

[eurosongfanserbia]

110 time better than Rybak...make me cry and give me strenght to Hold on and be strong.

[needsumluv]

@eurosongfanserbia  i agree with you 100%, this song as so much meaning and very very powerful , unlike Rybak

[hakobavchyan]

♥ ♥ ♥

[emett80]

better than 'norwegian' Rybak. soon uk will be singing in urdu or punjabi, anyway the english spoken in england is nothing like as good as how foreigners learn it, it is full of very strong accents. the standard accent for young people sound more like a carribean person than english.

[Yochananable]

This is the best ever Norsk music o=in Eurovision.

[frozencuckie]

She should won. I think she's better than Rybak

[SamoaOG]

@frozencuckie - Maria is a beautiful young Norway lady & a Beautiful voice

[euroBIsivo]

1- Ukraine

2- Portugal

3- Norway

[leblancsind]

[thealeksandar023]

this was best song at 2008 ESC in Belgrade...Norway should take win...

[kroeg11]

Brilliant! One of the best ESC entries ever!

[lovegaysex4ever]

SHE SHOULD HAVE WON!! geez... perfect example of a woman... strong, beautiful, great voice and independant... its so simple and beautiful... LOVE IT

[trinemartine]

Would Norway had won win juries? I think so.

[escfanrussia]

Sweden Norway, Ukraine, Armenia, Portugal, and Turkey the best in 2008!

[TheKristal67]

absolutely the best song in ESC 2008, at that time i wanted to be the winner. She's got fantastic voice and look at her she is so gorgeus. well done Maria

[srdjanBOSNIA]

BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST SONG IN 2008!!! AND BEST EUROVISION EVER!! Norway,Ukraine,Sweden,Armenia,­Bosnia,Serbia,Slovenia,Georgia­!!! BEST BEST

[Shomy91SERBIA]

In my opinion, this is one of the best songs in ESC, ever!!! LOOVE FROM SERBIA!

[Natapolinata75]

Красивая песня

[postcardterry]

@doruntina22 What are you talking about?Her name is Hadise acikgoz,where does the Soraya come from?Don`t tell me,she is your friend??"Dum Tek Tek was in English".Listen to yourself!She sang in English but my point was that several countries sing in their own language;France Portugal Spain and most if not all former Yugoslavian ones.Iyiaksamlar(that`s Turkish twat!
