"Im gonna do her myself"

[sf443]

@Salamaleikum80 got bored of the nazis huh?

[wingysmissus]

wtf? why is it in English??? I thought it had to be in the native language of the country entering????

[Ultrawixon]

@wingysmissus That rule hasn't been in place for over a decade.

[tptplayer1954]

@wingysmissus nope. its not necessery. one competetor once even sang in a imaginary language :D

[wingysmissus]

@tptplayer1954 really??? I have to look that one up! haha sounds interesting!

[BCosta1989]

He has the same soundings voice as the lead singer from Death Cab for Cutie

[InquisitorDice]

Indie rock Finnish style...

[ProudToNotBeRacist]

I love the message of the song! And it's such a pretty melody! Although the title makes no sense, the song surely does!

[TehPastaGod]

So...

Sealand's gonna save the world?

Sounds legit.

[ProudToNotBeRacist]

@TehPastaGod Your comment made my day :)

[TehPastaGod]

@ProudToNotBeRacist I made someone's day OwO! Yay~

[Vulle123]

@TehPastaGod What does Sealand have to do with this?

[TehPastaGod]

@Vulle123 The song is about a boy called Peter. Peter is Sealand's human name :)

[JohannaLovato8]

i'm ashamed how much swedens song sucked (and also eric saade)! finland, denmark and irland was sooooo much better! <3<3 can't believe we came so far...! if we would've won i would'nt be living here today.....!

[Takadoshika93]

This song almost made me cry... It's just amazing. Greetings from America! :D

[zambe1294]

@cursetogod what animal culture ? ...

[Highteeeee]

The only problem was that this song was first in the final. Everybody forgot to vote, and that´s always the case

[MissSscrap]

Love this song <3 Not because I'm from Finland, but it's abouth saving a planet... It should be more music like this...

[AmbrosioLover]

American Music: About sex and money

Finnish Music: About saving the planet and makig a differance

Do you see where im going here

[Sliteh]

@AmbrosioLover American Music: Makes you feel a lot more energetic

Finnish Music: Makes you sleepy

Do you see where im going here

[AmbrosioLover]

@Sliteh true

[MrLinuxGamer]

@Sliteh you are both stupid, both america and finland have slow and energetic songs

[Sliteh]

@MrLinuxGamer Wow really, Sherlock? I didn't know that.

[MrLinuxGamer]

@Sliteh you just shot down your own comment

[1halloweenchic1]

@Sliteh okay first off not all american music is as you put it "energetic" and not all finnish music is "sleepy" apparently you dont like songs with meaning. so i suggest you stop putting your self to sleep adn listen to some of the "energetic american" music

[Sliteh]

@1halloweenchic1 I love songs with meaning. Especially the song "Back Off Bitch"

[1halloweenchic1]

@Sliteh haha cute but using this kind of language and that attitude isnt meant for this song so shut up and get a life

[Sliteh]

@1halloweenchic1 Telling people to "get a life" is really old and you should come up with something new and that kind of attitude really isn't meant for this song, OK? So I'd suggest you chill your nipples.

But okay.. If I'd have to choose between "Your life" and "No life", I'd choose No life.

Your life: "Yay I looove halloween! That's the day of the year that I can finally go outside because I can wear a mask and hide my butt-ugly face!"

[1halloweenchic1]

@Sliteh My life: I looove halloween becaus it the only time of year people be themselves. and idgac wut u think :)

[Sliteh]

@1halloweenchic1 <33

[1halloweenchic1]

@Sliteh o_o what happend first u hate me then the "<3" and friend request? did i miss something??

[Sliteh]

@1halloweenchic1 Well if you remember, you started this "fight" or however you wanna call it. I was just defending myself.

So, that's like a "Let's bury the axe, eh?", if we're friends I won't troll you ;)

[sarantis1995]

love it.... I hear it every day since the final contest this year. I voted for it, it should have win...

[aceflyer89]

Honestly, all Eurovision entries are winners. Why? Well, if I compare it to our Canadian/American Idol stuff or whatever else there is regarding music here, it's incomparable. Keep it up Eurovision. You have supporters!

[kristoferson16]

lol, I hate this song/show, keep Suomi as Suomi, not this American idle bullshit

[Bombnixu]

this song gots WORD!

From Finland :)

[dulexo]

Best song ever, finland rulez.

[MrLee507]

stupid song,,, i hate it -.-

[amcrazykid]

This guy looks soooo bored xD but it's a good song though ^^

[1905blackberry]

Even that i am Estonian i think that Finland was better than Estonia.

[StepaniM]

When he says 'Don't wanna be... da da dam da da dam...' does that mean he doesn't want to be a dumbass?

[tutycat]

it is boring! zzzzzzzzz

[EE99TU]

@tutycat you are boring!!!

[SirLimeySir]

by far my favourite :D

[musick123456789]

This song is so catshy, luv it <33

[Salamaleikum80]

one of the reasons why i want to live in finnland instead of germany!

[zambe1294]

@Salamaleikum80 because one man is singing about saving the planet?....

[Salamaleikum80]

@zambe1294 i dont know even one person in germany who does that...

[zambe1294]

@Salamaleikum80 and do you know every single person in Germany ?...............

[Salamaleikum80]

@zambe1294 yes, u mad? :)

[zambe1294]

@Salamaleikum80 why would I be mad if I know it's a lie ?

[Salamaleikum80]

@zambe1294 *facepalm*

[zambe1294]

@Salamaleikum80 I know it was a joke -.-

[hobitti97]

~ Greetings from the USA!

~P.S. tell Peter to take me back to Europe! D: HELP ME!

[danyboy6635]

I like this song from hngary

[cool0collin]

@lonewolf202 You should have seen the history majors at my place prematurely guessing 90% of the votes just simply based off each nations standings with the others. It was almost hysterical! :p

now.. i dont mean to bash this song, it is good, but its hardly deserves to be the winner of eurovision. honestly its a strong topic not backed by hardy lyrics and that (it least to me) doesn't make for the greatest song. but its close to being awesome.

[EHVMichael]

Finland was at least WAY WAY WAY better than Sweden, Estonia etc.

This song actually has a message, is componed by an instrument, has actual thought in it.

And thereby, as long as people vote for dumbass songs like Sweden and Estonia etc. then this song is just way before our time...

We are not ready to improve our ways yet, this song should be sung again over 15 years or so?

[DressageQueen221]

@EHVMichael while i agree with you that this song is good. the way youve written that 'makes it seem as though you have a problem with Sweden and Estonia. When youre a judge on eurovision then you can feel free to make the calls but until then keep politics on the political videos and off the music ones. thanks

from a Swede

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

@EHVMichael "This song actually has a message" no shit dumbass aren't the lyrics and video quite obvious?

[raiko32123]

@EHVMichael No1 really voted for Estonia lol.

[Veiko96]

@EHVMichael I'm from Estonia and i we got a worst place than you. Finland was better than Estonia, but you have to agree there were many songs that were far worse than Estonia(Ireland,Sweden,Denmark for example).

[Scandinavian92]

this sux actually. blaah

[FourFeathers94]

Funny how we Finnish people have never heard of this guy...

[HiroMMM2]

France - 1st place

Finland - 2nd place

The rest... I don't know, I didn't figured out yet.

[MrComment13]

@HiroMMM2

I'd swap them around, France's song was brilliant, and there aren't many opera songs in Eurovision anymore

But for pure brilliance and meaning, i'd have to say Paradise Oskar wins this time.

[Norijah23]

I like this song, but Popular is better ;)

[1halloweenchic1]

@Norijah23 I have to disagree i LOVE eric and all his music but this song gets my vote....erics seem pointless sometimes but Paradise's "da da dam" has a meaning and i LOVE IT!

[Jijilla]

I love this song! And Axel is sooo cute!

[azerihelvete]

@larisafenerli Larisa? turkish larisa? haha wherea re you from?

[emppuz1]

finnis newer win=((

not with this song!

[cama9103]

SUOMI! :::D

[maximvu321]

TOgether we CAN SAVE TH€ PLANET>>>>>FORMULA IS>>>>>BELEIVE IN LOVE>>>>>because if YOU believe you CAN DO IT ALL>>>>>eveN +++++ OPEN The PARAdise Door :)

[conservative717]

british accent?

[sakuramankai94]

@conservative717 many finnish kids tend to catch a bit of the british accent when we first start learning english, mostly because almost all the tracks that they play to us during the lessons are mainly spoken with a british accent. i think its probably because it's really simple and easy to uderstand, maeby thats why :)

[MrLiverfrog]

Bet song in Eurovision!!!!!!! Bloody made up country beating Finland!!!!!!

[blaadee52]

why the earth is female?

[walluable]

@blaadee52 cause the land is fathers i quess

[TheSa4eto]

lol... guys dont get me wrong, i love the earth and i recycle but Finland did this song to get peoples sympathy, its ok but the lyrics are kind of dum, what is da da dum?

[NixWingedOne]

@TheSa4eto Are you stupid or something?? im from FINLAND, Finland doesn't try get sympathy! WAKE UP PEAOPOLE! Da da dam is a song what that boy sing and king and all in song. this is for world,

[ssaaaara]

@TheSa4eto Finland didn't create this song, Paradise Oskar did. Just had to say that.

[Tarietta]

@TheSa4eto I feel like I should laugh at your comment, I'm sorry.. We didn't do this song because we wanted people's sympathy; Finns are tougher than that. We did it because we liked it better than the other songs we had to choose from :) Thou; It was a tough tie between the two best songs - I'd have liked to send 'em both ^^

[conservative717]

its not even in finnish

[Cynosure7]

Fuckin MONEY!

ihana biisi! suomi on paras =D

[agirlthattimeforgot]

The best ESC song ever... :) <3 Should have won!!!

[SirLimeySir]

Should've won hands down! best song to have ever graced Eurovision!

[destiny21miller]

finnish singers are awesome....enough said

[LoriaWS]

If you close your eyes and listen, you could imagine it's Alexander Rybak singing ;)

just sayin

[hifififi]

cute song :) Lovely, Finland gave us 12 points, and we almost nothing, we must have been fools, this song is awee :) btw thx Finland

[MehraChan]

@PatchworkDuckie You just made me 'aww' so, so hard. Yay Mama Finland!

[ange1matti]

ierland was better



[AxeR094]

finlandiyanın adını lekelemiş orospu çocuğu..

[nomnombunnies]

@charmedgr1234 Okay, what the fuck? What could anyone POSSIBLY hate about this song? It's amazing. If you hate this, you obviously have NO taste in music.

[charmedgr1234]

@nomnombunnies sure ram bam bam ram bam bam............copy of belgium in 2010

[sinityyppi]

well.. this is better than azerbaijan

[TheCOB98]

toi on taas niin kasa paskaa

[Noelismythia2009]

Do you know that famous saying "If our lovely plant could speak to us, it would cry and beg us to stop hurting it?"

I would say "If the earth could speak to us, its first words would be "And our 12 points go to Finland"

[Sporemin]

SKAL!

[PatchworkDuckie]

Wait... Peter = Sealand?

[DonkeyKongJesus]

if this is what they are delivering, Finland should win more often!

[DonkeyKongJesus]

how many points will it take to make this the winner, cuz that many points from every country

[ErlendPro]

12 points from planet earth, moon, mars! the rest did`nt hear the song and went da da dam and died, so they could not vote.. :(

[theblondgirl97]

[lillsnuttilutt]

[b0n3z3z]

When I saw the title I imagined it being pronounced "d-d-damn!"  lol

[jaimegriffin]

[SerBianCosmo]

Azerbaijan was so cheese, but this was sweet.

[KovaLuuFIN]

12 points from Thailand (: but now I live in Finland

[RedRoseRecordsSWE]

@Bandido698 he almost won. u mad?

[MrArmedVideos]

I would like to answer MABUS's comment, but I can't do it on my phone. Well I would have said like this: If someone would be gay it would be you and I said this becouse this is one of the fev good songs in my country, Finland and we are proud about this! Be proud about that you don't live right next to me.

[MABUS92]

Lol who da hell is " Eric Saade " ?

[stanger963]

Finland...The most beautiful country in the world...My greatest wish is to move there...Finland - Land of childhood

[MABUS92]

Awful.. Gay... Music.. Can't...... LISTEN ANYMORE

[Ethanimor]

247 people want to be da da damned

[turvenuija1]

[NPoetic]
