[alexkoenigtr]

Wonderful song, great Ami Aspelund : 12 points from France !!!

[giapantaneos]

EXCELLENT SONG

[iglav]

Probably my favourite esc song of all times . It gives me goosebomps when i listen to it .

It was the time when eurovision had quality and reputation . Unfortunately nowdays eurovison is pure garbage.

[Imp1981]

@iglav I absolutely agree with you! Great song!

[gaiksport]

Great song . 12 points from Russia)

[mrfrankie40]

Hyvä melodia jää aina mieleen.

[Exiistenz]

Magic!

[mogly62]

[NorwegianSalmon]

It looks like a duck singing..

[wallcity19]

Jaa. Ami Aspesund! Jaa.

[rakastaus]

Ahhhh the 80's!!

Silloin juostiin kyrvät pystyssä naisten perässä.

Mun kyrvät oli arkana nussimisesta...

[Marcooviz]

Löytyykö sulta montakin kyrpää?

[Katjuska76]

etu ja taka P***a varten varmaan? ;D

[mobyboy]

please compare this song with "cambodia" by Kim Wilde.

[SuperMoonraker]

nice moves Ami

[JANNESAATANA]

This is better than Lordi. jeejee.

[ferretmanboy]

I think we can all agree :)

[yaose]

Una de las mejores de todos los festivales de Eurovisión.Me encanta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[verkaforever]

This should have won!

[Quencherr]

Fantasy

Who is he and what is the language that he speaks?

Who is he? I wish that he would come close to me

What is he? He spends the days walking his dog

Who is he and where does he disappear to?

[wrigleys321]

Such dramatic song and music!! Quite good;-)

[winxy07]

was this in germany?

[Imp1981]

My favourite Finnish entry ever!

[Valtteri2]

There are millions of songs in the world, so some of them will sound abit like each other :P

[MyFallenAngel14]

O_O... lol suomen euroviisu-biisit...

[klarinetta]

This should have been in top 5

[jjpjmusic]

se parece a diva de dana internacional

[gledib]

HA HA HA ALL RELIGIONS SUCKS!!!!

[SirHenryMerrivale]

Is it wise to to annoy everybody with comments like that? It doesn't do any good to your mission.

[AmersfoortTristan]

And the firing squad is your future, Muslim prick.

Not bad Finland. :)

[mobyboy]

it is deffently taken from Kim Wild - Cambodia (just faster)

[wjgmspeedy]

I agree, I knew I heard it before. Discovered the resemblence with Cambodia only today.

And I don't understand why you get modded down for stating something that is so bloody obvious. Anyone can hear it.

[juksori1]

Surkeat pidot piti saksa tuolloin.

Naurettava tuo tausta, käytännössä visuuaalisuus (valot, takaseinä yms.)

[Vawawawa]

Wikipediassa vai missä sanottiin, että näihin viisuihin käytettiin hyvin vähän rahaa.

[juksori1]

Joo niin taisi ollakin

[ulven7]

I agree about this beeing an excellent song. Best Finnish entry ever and one of my absolute favorites during the last 30 years. Still love it and I still don´t understand how it could reach only #11.

[fvwarauma]

Havent heard this in ages huh. I was 6 years old in 83, and I still remembered most of the lyrics :D Very dramatic performance.

[yiannis777yiannis]

The song is very good, but the dress is yuhu!

[tvtimes]

This or Yugoslavia should have won in 1983.

[yiannis777yiannis]

don't forget the uk and denmark - a very original song

[divalovers]

I'm so happy to have found this video after 25 years! I never forgot the song. To me it was the best song of the year. Thank you so much for posting!!!

[default1976]

One of the best Finnish entries. This is the first song that I remember all the way from the national preselection. In the ESC final I remember seeing this late in the evening and after this I fell into sleep. I was six years old back then...

[MacGovernor]

@default1976 ...Not. Lordi was best and will be the best ever by Finland.

[RebuiltSteam]

@MacGovernor go play WoW

[futurelover1980]

this song is so so so beautiful and powerfull

THE BEST IN 1993

12 POINTS FROM PORTUGAL

[wrigleys321]

Mahtava tämäkin kappale. Esitykset ja kappaaleet parempia kuin nykyisin. olen muuten syntynyt v. -83. Great song !

[adolfpolzt]

bence eurovision şarkı yarışması tarihinde söylenmiş en güzel fince şarkı

(for me best song of finnish language in eurovision song contest history)

[BurningMatchess]

Kyllä :D

[AdeyCol]

Finland were very strong contenders in 83, 85 and 87 - each of those years they should have been in the Top 3.

[kkaleton]

Kim Wilde gave a permission to perform this song.

[CJBR1966]

So... OK!!!!

[CJBR1966]

This entry was a plagirism from Kim Wilde´s song Cambodia, so would have to be eliminated...

[default1976]

I know both songs very well but I don't understand your opinion...

[bloomnormal]

I was 11 when this song first came up, still deeply enjoy listening to it. Thanks for posting the video here, brings back good childhood memories...

[Plasvi]

Iwsmackie.. She wore a dress, but that was 80's! I was 12 in 1983. You should look my clothes in 80's. That time was creepy.. Clothes were awful!

[LasseL]

kuka tuo on?

[nrktv]

this shaud won, witch song won?

[Mangoteppe]

Luxemburg vant med 142 poeng, Finland endte på 11. plass med 41 poeng sammen med Italia.

Altfor lavt spør du meg!

[nrktv]

Off det var ille, det er alltid sånne sanger som alle kunne ha laget som vinner.. Ikke de geniale

[dguri]

Luxemburg won that year

[deibu75]

highly under rated - this should have won

[aatox]

I love this song so much! :)

[tvtimes]

Finland or Yugoslavia should have won in 1983

[geotrisi]

....puiston aneton on.... LOVE IT!

taa onko vain....unlemmaa ! my no 1 then!

kiitoksi paljon!

[eating100]

Bästa finska låten nånsin!

[Bearneeve]

This is my favorite Finnish entry ever at ESC (I started watching in 1975). It surely deserved a better ranking than #11.

[josatinho]

GREAT SONG

[SirHenryMerrivale]

It seems that I like this song the more I listen to it. Love her moves.

[josatinho]

LOISTAVA LAULU..

[setheurovision94]

Wow! Absolutely stunning song; extraordinarily powerful melody and performance. What a comeback for Finland after the successive joke entries! Surely this ouhgt to have done much better than its 11th place, good a placing as that has generally been for Finland. If ever Finland deserved to win, this was when, in my opinion. I love this!

[lwsmackie]

why is she dressed as a wedding cake?

[setheurovision94]

Who knows, perhaps a premonition of the Cypriot wedding-cake couple of '89? LOL! Seriously, though, is it just me, or does the set only look good during this song?

[lwsmackie]

the set in theory was superb - but in pratice was very limited - whether thrgh technology or just plain lack of invention - I thght in most entries the set looked pretty cold.

[keula1]

I have always thought that the dress makes her look like she had just hatched from an Easter egg. Actually she had a respectable dress in the national preselection, but then YLE, the Finnish broadcasting company, stepped in...

Still, with "Eläköön elämä" by Sonja Lumme this song is my favourite Finnish entry which made to the ESC.

[piggie1993]

I love this song!

[steddie123]

Very dramatica and very eighties - especially the suits her backing singers are wearing. Reminds me of my older brother getting ready for a night out circa 1985!

[hrBenno]

Powerful song - eventhough I don't understand a single word ;0)
