[RumpleteazerNo1]

[sheikhalmoon]

oh man, singt der scheisse, wenn das nicht schwul rüberkommt, weiss ich auch nicht weiter, und über den muss ich einen vortrag halten, auf französisch, wähhh

[animelover8999]

I WANT MY OWN LIGHTING UP POLE/STICK.

[Digifan001]

why this song reminds me of abba? and other singers from 1970's?

[yaoihousegirl]

I love his jackets

[Garry7778]

Anthem to Golden Showers. ;-)

[ffmonster]

Beautiful song!

[IceHockeyDS]

Is he gay? Good song by the way..

[MssKatEka]

With this singer i ve stoped listening music in english. french and deutch only now.

[DidaDragan]

This is excellent.

Michael is adorable :O)

[Brummelfrosch94]

this was the best 2010! I do not understand why it was not in final!

[Alex4u]

good song!! so underrated.

[Vaguanni]

not good song

[Toffifee13]

Fantastic song!!!

[barbiiitimeeeeeee]

sexy guy :)

[seesternli89]

omg! i'm swiss.. but when he was choosen to sing for the eurovision I was just ashamed to be it...

[kwongfatyau]

Looking forward to listen to this song and some remixes would be great!

2 Feb 2011 (Lunar New Year's Eve)

[kwongfatyau]

Marvelous European style with beautiful French lyrics. I think that is what Eurovision should present, especially there have been too many mainstream works coming up in recent years. Awesome work, Michael. My support for you. Wishes from Hong Kong.

[barbiiitimeeeeeee]

@kwongfatyau Tout à fait

[Alex4u]

the song is very goood i wish the perfomance was better.

[makspaderin]

Great song, one of the best of this Eurovision

[TheDukeOfEden]

Beautiful! Very real and creative! Unlike those other songs in the competition that tried to imitate American mainstream music. This song really brings it to a higher level!

Greetings from America!

[lorofcb2]

he is gay...so f****ng what?. the song was rubbish though

[GargantuanHunter]

Ξέρει να κουνιέται πάντως...

[logamac]

It's too gay.

[samylenzo]

12 points a les oreilles et le cheveu ( ich quiero cette song)

[InQuestaNotte]

He's like dobby crossed with elmo...

[metalheadedtothemax]

@InQuestaNotte HEHEHEHEHHEHEH!! HE IS!!!

[user7434]

2) ouuh, hast du auch schon ne freundin/freund ?

3) dafüt hast du ne hexennase

4) du auch

xP

[AustroRundfunk]

@BubbaHubba27

wer sagt das ich nicht singen kann? hast mich schonmal singen gehört?

Ja

ähm nein..?

ja du auch

xD..

[kioskvaltare]

can't believe this got less votes than Slovenia who had one of the worst songs of all time. Then again, at least that stood out in all its awfulness.

Saw a british girl interview him on TV and he was really creepy. You could tell she was really uncomfortable haha. Poor girl.

[TheofficialKaulitz]

schrecklich.

Peinlichkeit für unser land XD

können wir gerade einen schwulen Teletubby schicken ;(

[aimmaster18]

@TheofficialKaulitz LOL!

[LoveableEarl]

The song is great, but the music video is a bit scary... In a very creepy way.

[MultiJoe77]

What an embarrassment for Switzerland!

[turkey388]

super  songer

[braves162]

ensemble partons pour faire le grand tour, sous la vout étoilée

[taggitaggo]

At one point it looks just like he is holding a lightsaber from starwars, nice ;)

Anyway nice song, I like songs that is sung in French. It's too bad it didn't make it to the final :(

[28AmyKate]

This clip is a little bit creepy...I dunno what exactly but it's just a bit to wierd for me...

[cretzoou]

@28AmyKate you`re right... this video is creepy... the singer is like that character from " Tales from the Crypt".....

[AntiGamer009]

this is a idiot song but they have a better voice at lena meyer-landrut

Tanz is scheisse von beiden ---

[ibiza4ever1]

Here you decide which song will represent your country!!

eyaland.webs.com/eurovision1.h­tm

[MerchantofTarshish]

Song is not bad but on low volume it isn't your most exciting tune

[Ruspberry4]

What a nice song! How come it's not in a final??? It's definitely better than Romania and Germany.

[Ruspberry4]

What a nice song! How come it's not in a final??? It's definitely better than Romania and Germany.

[midnightbeastfan100x]

its better than russia and france, turkey, bosnia and Herzgonavia and moldova so there you are

[FaerieDust]

I absolutely LOVE this song, even though I don't understand anything :P But I have to ask, does anyone else hear the similarities to AfroDite's "Never Let It Go" (Sweden's song for 2002)? Like, at the beginning, with the "Pam-pa-da-da-dam" part... Check Afro-Dite's live performance of their song, at the beginning, it's VERY similar.. Don't know why I make such a big deal of it, honestly, it just bugs me, I guess :P

[ZorroSee]

@FaerieDust I think it sounds like Lena Philipsson's "It Hurts" (Swedish song 2004).

But, you can also have right.

[CrazySissy95]

It´s much better than satellite from Lena...

[MsCarpeDiem7]

Michael -

Eine wunderschöne Komposition, die Du geschrieben und vorgetragen hast!

- Melodie und Worte, beide gehen direkt ins Herz, und nur darauf kommt's bei der Musik und im wirklichen Leben an :-)

P.S.: Dein Gesichtsausdruck und Dein Strahlen sind sehr authentisch, Michael - vom 'offiziellen Resultat' des Eurovision-Contests und von jeglicher nicht konstruktiven Kritik keineswegs entmutigen lassen, Du hast alles prima gemacht :-))

[Esteban021990]

Good video =)

Lena LIVE performance in Cologne a few days after the ESC

youtube.com/watch?v=URLaRWjRm4­w

[UKbarcafan]

Come on, this was the second-weakest song, but comfortably ahead of UK Josh!!

[BaloonGreen]

the song is not bad, and he sing on french. actually, quite charming, although not the best song , it deserved more votes.

[lagemegnorsk]

It Rains In Gold...thats what the title means..

[tahitithierry]

@lagemegnorsk

the right translation from French to English: It is raining gold

[Anulicika]

he haveee a good vooiice!

[qweds34mj]

He looks like a nerd and I don't like this song. : /

But don't write any bad massages to me becuz I said that! It's just what I think

[lagemegnorsk]

@qweds34mj gOOD OPINION :p HE LOOKS LIKE A gay to me but i like the song...

[timberodelahabana]

schiesse! keine vote ooohhhh

[sparklight39]

i really love this song and its lyrics, and the singer its not that bad.. but it would have been better if he havent this "gay moves" and this appearence.... the eurovision results= 60% geo-politic influencces + 30% music and lyrics+ 10% appearens and looks, in my opinion.

[lookjustme]

il pleut de l´or = it rains gold

[BrokenMirror22]

schweiz hat uns 12 punkte gegeben :] wie nett , danke. :D

[lagemegnorsk]

what does ii pleute de lor means?

[formulacountdown]

@lagemegnorsk "Il pleut de l'or" is "It's raining gold."

[yohanne14]

c'mon!! this was brilliant! :D

[GermanyHDTV]

lol ears

[zefyraretas1]

They would have qualified if some one else was singing this song... People obviously got put off by this guys looks and his bad singing..

[smurph1984]

Lesson learnt for next year Switzerland, do not have a tacky wardrobe (especially metallic clothing). Shame this didn't qualify for the finals.

[migleeeeeeeeee]

VERY VERY funny x DD

[OddworldCrash]

At all: PLEASE PHONE NEXT YEAR FOR SWITZERLAND! PLEAAAASE!

[Mrs1yohanna98]

Switzerland was GREAT .. :))

[MsWarbattle]

Genau ich gebe maxschaperking recht. Wobei der Song vo Lordi damals war gar nciht so schlecht.^^

[maxschaperking]

Aber immer noch besser Deutschland als Sieger anzuerkennen als dass das altbekannte Szenario vonstatten geht, wo die Ostblockstaaten wie Pech und Schwefel zusammenhalten.

[maxschaperking]

Ja, ganz cool, ne? Ich meine, um ihre Schwarzgelder zu bunkern oder um ihnen für die gleiche Arbeit in ihrem Land mehr Lohn zu zahlen, dafür sind wir Schweizer dann den anderen Ländern wieder gut genug, da strömen dann alle in die Schweiz; aber sonst... und wir helfen da noch ey, also bei allem Respekt (und ich finde Lena wirklich ein süsses Mädel, ich würd' sie wahrscheinlich auch net von der Bettkante stossen :D) aber der deutsche Song... ich meine ihr Englisch...

[KeshaJustinFan]

I'm from switzerland and I think his song is rubbish!!! I don't like this song and he is sh*t! I was 4 Germany and Armenia!!!

[clyan69]

@KeshaJustinFan

i admire ya for being honest

im from malta and our song didnt qualify to the final either

and honestly even tho im from malta.... our song also sucked! all where sayin it should passed... i think this year was the worse song we had ever

some said was nice... i didnt like it at all... i liked loads the ermany song which won.... belgium was amazing.... and greece

me votes went for them

[KeshaJustinFan]

@clyan69

yes germany was really great, greece was funny and belgium.... WOW! But I like Apricot Stone so... His song was sh*t and I hate French! Also next year we are better!

[TheAnami]

ich mag es!

[DVNOStress]

C'est de la merde. Qu'il pleuve de la merde sur sa tête!

[petrrrinha]

@DVNOStress LMAO

[DVNOStress]

Only 2 points!!! Hahahahahaha! You suck!

Swtizerland need real singer not like this fag how looks like Meriadoc Brandebouc.

[goshaaa1]

so beautiful and humane

[ARALORS]

I disliked this song, but in the performance they convinced me.... sorry you didn't qualified

[Babipopo]

die schweiz müsste stefanie heinzmann schicken...die ist doch klasse. und was raab anpackt, wird ja bekanntlich zu gold. :)

[Dokkied]

GAY

[00Sonnyaa]

@Dokkied

Ja er ist schwul.. nur weil er schwul ist,ist das Lied nicht Schlecht ich find es auf jedenfall besser als der Siegersong! Doch bei diesem ''Fakecontest'' geht es ja bekanntlich schon lange nicht mehr um Musik!!

[Leeonleina]

@00Sonnyaa

Jap! Es geht vor allem auch darum das Deutschland nur dabei ist weil es als Geldgeber fungiert, nicht unbedingt weil es beliebt ist, oder gar die besten Sänger hinschickt^^

*nicht meine Meinung*

*Lena´s Lied gernhat*

*hüpf weg*

[Magicwords95]

better than some songs in the final, but that's not very difficult.

[TheMongoMungo]

nichso überragend.

[krakuki]

shit

[IamNotABoyNotYetAMen]

hat für mich keinen erkennungswert das lied

[Anulicika]

he is a good singer..

[Vedranko100]

Moral winner of this year eurosong. Probably quality is not on the road anymore

[FantomeDeParis]

The best of the best Switzerland should won not germany .From romania

[Anouck1990]

I did not like the singer but the song was good.. I liked It more then al that R&B songs

[LilDoggMJE]

Ich verstehe die Schweiz nicht, ich selber komme aus Deutschland, sage aber offen und ehrlich, dass die Schweizer Musiker um Welten besser sind als die Meisten Deutschen Musiker, Lena mit eingeschlossen...ihr schickt einen Michael von der Heide...gutes Lied ja aber Michael von der Heide ist für mich kein herrausragender Musiker...ihr habt Leute wie Stress, wie Baschi, wie Ritschi, Stefanie Heinzmann, Greis und und und... mein absoluter Lieblingsmusiker ist Bligg...

[XNightmarechildX]

@LilDoggMJE Tja, die Sache ist mehr die, dass die Schweizer Musiker nicht zum ESC wollen. die haben wohl alle Angst sich zum Horst zu machen. Was wir ja seit geraumer Zeit jedes Jahr gut hinbekommen.^^ Mir gefällt das Lied vom Michi. Es war jetzt aber nicht der helle Wahnsinn. Ich finde allerdings dass es fürs Finale gereicht hätte.

Ja, heute in der Zeitung stand schon "hey, schicken wir stefanie das nächste Jahr. Die schweizer Lena".... super gsi -.-

[TriNNaful]

d´schwiz setts so mache wie italie u sech vo dem ganze verabschide...isch mini meinig...

das dütschland das jahr gwunne het verstahni überhaupt nid...tschuldigung, es het besseri lieder drbii gha als das vor lena....

[pheobepaige]

@TriNNaful

i geb der voll und ganz rächt das d schwiiz nömme sett met mache..

das dütschland gwonne het findii need so schlemm.. s lied isch schoo noo gued, aber es het würklii besseri lieder ghaa

[Luniii737]

justaDream? BASCHI??? Gohts no?! xD

Gschiider Stress häne schicke :o

[ca889b]

this song haven't somethink special and because of that isn't in the final

[kohldampf55]

nögscht johr söll eifach en riise buur go denn gwönne mer secher ^^

[SibelScandalous]

@oOojustaDream heii bandit isc doch geil dschungelmusik bum bum bum bum XD

[oOojustaDream]

wenigschtens ischer besser als dj bobo(=

[Verycherry1986]

Ca fait très années 80 ^^ Il chante bien, dommage qu'il n'ait pas été qualifié pour la finale. Peut être trop "kitch" pour l'Eurovision...

[solasorah]

It's a good song! He sings really well, and I think he could have been in a very good position.

[aglospb]

brilliant song! Michael deserved to be in final and be in 5 the best songs.

[frenchie1146]

Switzerland REALLY should've qualified! Hugs from The united states!

[DasOhneWir]

wie wärs mit stefanie heinzmann, stress, bligg, baschi, bandit, gimma, fabienne louves?

ich mein d'schwiiz hätt scho potenzial.. i think switzerland will win any Esc in future because we have some really talented guys in here! good luck for next year guys :)

[oOojustaDream]

@DasOhneWir d schwiiz het scho talent. aber bitter nöd bandit. das wer de gröscht scheiis(=

stress söt negscht jahr gschickt werde. oder baschi

[frumzion]

boring

[saubuddel]

ich hoffe er durfte die neonröhre als trostpreis behalten

[moijesuisx3]

das Liied iish eiifach andrsh shliim.

[saxhild]

wenigstens singt er nicht wie (fast) alle auf englisch; aber wegen seinen Ohren sollte er wohl mal was unternehmen :-)

[tabo7500]

Too much better than other shitty songs that went through the final

[alashrad3]

That song was nice... i dont understand why Russia, Serbia and other craps were in the final...

[stupidjunk878]

Bottom place, only scored 2 points in the semi final. Embarassing

[FuppinBaxtard]

he looks like a rat haha

[TheIvyRay]

@LuisBaertschi

voll du bisches...! genau mini meinig haha was wett de michael von der heide....Stress wür all schlisse...!!! machs guet

[fedupwithusernames]

not bad at all, but a bit boring.

the intro reminds me of another song oO

[rederhessen]

typisch schweizerisch.....gähn.....

[TheIvyRay]

@rederhessen

ich weiss scheiss lied scheiss typ und scheiss vorgeschichte....

finde auch das die schweizer im ent. voll versagt....aber sonst nicht.....Also nicht typisch

[moijesuisx3]

@rederhessen das stimmt doch gar nicht. Schon was von Bligg, Stress, Baschi oder Gimma gehört? Deutschland hat genau wie die Schweiz gute Sänger und schlechte Sänger.

[eempact]

I like this song XD

[xMikeitox]

I'm from Switzerland and I've known from the beginning,

that we wouldn't go through...

But I also think,that it wasn't the worst song this year

(for me,it was Serbia...)

[bandsalat93]

Erst ma die schoki fans trösten :'(

es is eigendlich so ein schönes lied....

aber irgendwie habt ihr nie glück ... erst mit Lovebugs und jetzt mit den :( ....

nächstes jahr wirds sicherlich ;)

grüße aus Deutschland und belgien ;)

[MattLolipop]

gay song gay singer

and the video is also very gay

[arahida2008]

is not in the final... DAMN IT! ... i love this song :)

[NamiSqared]

Eurovision should remake the vote system first semi final is the western europe and second the eastern europe so it will be fair

[124674]

Who cares if he's gay? Or looks like gay? What's so wrong with gays? If this guy is one of them than it's an answer to all gay haters. They've got talent too. I don't know if he's gay, and personally don't care that much.. But this song Rocks!!! I wish it qualified to the finals!

[Baronofcelts]

@124674 if he's gay it's not the point! he can be gay if he wants ! we ask him one thing: being a singer that's all !

[soendi]

il pleut zero points pour la suisse! so an scheiss, geldverschwendung par excellence! ufhöre üsere gelder so verschwende!

[pwnaged258]

song is good but this dude looks and sounds like gay

[alenkagotar]

OK!! SHOULD HAVE PASSED THE FINAL. One of the injustices of the 2nd SEMIFINAL together with Sweden. SWITZERLAND UP !!!!!

[goshaaa1]

This was one of the best and most elegant song. Michael is a great performer. i am not sure who is selecting huge number of horrible final songs. i guess the ROGUE rules.

Anyway, i agree the song from Switzerland was the best.

BTW Estonian song was also the good one. Another confirmation that the selection is based on very simple and uneducated taste.

[Narekh]

Very beautiful song! 12 points from Armenia!

[jasminefromFT]

SWITZERLAND WAS THE BEST!!! I wanna cry, "il pleu de lo'r" is so ignoredddd by Europe!!! I voted for michael, and will vote for him next year again and again... It will be raining gold next year... <3

so my top 4 [without switzerland :'(( ] : Bosnia, Turkey, Israel, Greece.

[orel2008]

israel winner 

[torinogianni]

SI' ERA CARINA

[mishusv]

tres joli chanson:)

[Perfectus100]

wir schweizer sind zu unbeliebt... und zudem schicken wir immer männer... wir sollten eine miss schweiz schicken, und sie würde mehr stimmen bekommen^^

Die (Schweizer-) Sänger tun mir leid, welche mit eigentlich guten liedern an der freundschaft der anderen Ländern scheitern...

[lightdarkness]

I wish Switzerland would've been in the final. This is great song! Many worse ones qualified to the final. :/

[NamiSqared]

@lightdarkness indeed

[fredericwhite]

This sounded as if it should have been playing in dance clubs in 1983. A very dated sound and somewhat predictable.

[Wranigram]

The refrain reminds a bit of "It's raining men", not only the text but also the swelling melody. Not that fascinating, sorry to say. As much as I would love to see a good Swiss song in the final, this didn't qualify and rightly so.

[arahida2008]

nice song ... :D  ...love it :)

[Exylesoul]

ich kanns immer noch nicht verstehn das cypern und dänemark ins finale gekommen sind und die schweiz nicht -.- deutschland wünscht euch 2011 viel glück

[11animefan]

ahahahahahahahahahaaaahaaaaaaa XD sorry leute, aber micheal VON DER HEIDE ?! XD *räusper*

well.. the song is really not bad :) sad that they didn't make it to the finals , instead of this israeli guy -.-''

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

I've become obsessed with this song. :OOO Don't even know why. And I was a little disappointed when this didn't win.

[SH1974]

Switzerland Zero points.

Nächstes mal schicken wir Eluveitie. :-)

[ItaloRaver]

ich dachte ja zuerst auch, ne bitte nicht, aber der auftritt im Semi war ok bis sehr gut und der Song is auch nicht übel, hatte hätte im gar 7-8 Punkte gegeben.

Dennoch frag ich mich immer noch wieso habe sie nicht Stefanie Heizmann genommen, wär nach meiner Meinung die viel bessere Wahl, und hätte ev. was reisen können.

Im übrigen was soll diese Diktatur der SRG, ...

[makiskiadas]

Unfortunally the presentation live on stage, wasn't good and neither the choregraphy. One more suicide on stage, we have seen a lot the same!

[leathuru]

Send home the Israeli guy who can't sing and bring back Switzerland!

[alecladd1]

To all of you in Switzerland, I am sorry you did not qualify. I really thought you would. from an Irish Fan!

[OddworldCrash]

@alecladd1 Thanks dude xD... I hope next year we can get it.. :(

[grimtju89]

@OddworldCrash xD hoffen wir mal! ;)

[OddworldCrash]

@grimtju89 Ja... Wahrscheinlichkeit.. 0.01% :)

[grimtju89]

@OddworldCrash xD 0.0000000...endless.....1 % ;)

[OddworldCrash]

@grimtju89 true, true xD

[marksmanb727]

so dissapointed with tonights result. Semi 2 was grosely weighted stronger with much better songs and still isreal and azerbaijan get through; both gave terrible vocal performances

[Usernamesongs]

This song should have gone through to the final ESC, what a pity! Much better than some of the other songs that got through...!

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

Exactly!

[factoZ]

Voilà c'est terminé pour Michael Von der Heide, il peut faire ses valises et rentrer en Suisse ! Une fois de plus la Suisse mord la poussière. !

Une participation du pays en 2011 reste désormais peu probable !

[leathuru]

This is a brilliant song. It's really bizarre that it was eliminated. Cruel injustice. Greetings from Ireland.

[maniueliho555]

once more ... :'(

[foreverlore]

um... can someone PLEASE tell me why they named the song "Golden Showers"? D=

[langenwaldsee]

il pleut de l´or wie geil!!!

[PittyLord]

is ok, solang er sich nciht auf der bühne das lichtschwert in arsch schiebt^^ das lied is aber ganz ok :D

[factoZ]

Regrettably the present journalists in Oslo as well as the bookmakers do not absolutely see Switzerland qualifying himself for finale, if you like this song and you want to support Switzerland thank you for voting several times for Michael der Heide this evening!
