Eurovision SC Final 2007 - Sweden - The Ark

[baddnancy]

what is wrong with europe these days

[flaekon]

My opinion: if this entry had been competing a couple of years later it might've won. Should have won in 2007, but I guess Europe wasn't ready for the whole nakedness thing and so on... But it's a great song, compared to most other esc entries... (and I'm not just saying this because I'm swedish, I could name a lot of Swedish entries that are rubbish.)

[Eden755]

Ola isn't gay... he is bisexuall ;)

[TheLedhead67]

Rock isn't dead because of MTV, it's because of this guy

[soccersj93]

@TheLedhead67 rock isn't dead.

[EPLOVEJB]

The Arks LAST consert ever was so awsome! I can't and don't really want to realise that there is no The Ark anymore... But let us, as Ola Salo himself put it, remember what The Ark stood for and pass it on. Let their songs, their passion and their love to music remember us that how starnge the world may think we are, we will hold our heads up high and be who we are! Thank you The Ark, you've given me courage, joy and strength that I will be forever grateful of. <3

If I had 1000 votes I would all of them click at thumb up.

[yalvin23]

I can't imagine eurovision without Sweden

They are ALWAYS awesome and unique and good

Greetings to all swedish from france

[amigafines]

wha is wrong with some of u ppl? u r saying his so gay and other bullshit that has nothing to do with the song? if u hate it so much then why the hell r u watching it? and even bother to comment? ja varsinkin te kaikki suomalaiset? älkää tulko tänne haukkuu ruotsalaisii! so all u finns(i am a finn) and every other ppl who has problems with their own sexuality or something, dont weatch and dont comment!

[Tears222]

How the HELL did this turn into a discussion of Olas sexuality? What relevance does it have? Why does it matter? So glad we're not so fucking small minded as some people. That we think being something else than straight is wrong and therefor not letting him compete. Hell yeah to Sweden! Hell yeah to us!

[DarknesspainF1]

faggot

[2179Ragnarok]

omg he is so scary..

[FMShow1]

@2179Ragnarok I know :/

[MembThePenguinII]

Name of the show: fags on acid

[MsCittycat19]

@MembThePenguinII You - guy with stick in his ass

[jaggedeleva]

@MembThePenguinII name of guy who probably is jerking of to this but shhhhhh

[Letrose1]

This is full shit! I cant watch it!

[MsCittycat19]

@Letrose1 The why click to watch then? Idiot

[learue8]

I liked this song much better when I first heard it...when it was called LOVE GROWS (WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES) by Edison lighthouse!!

[rodley25]

far better than the 2011 entry.

[SakuraHaruno9401]

It just doesn't make sence to me that they ended up in 18th place .. seriously they were so much better than that!

[DanielJensen88]

I love this song. First time ever I voted for Sweden!

[ArkishFool]

Yes, they might be weird and outstandingly embarrassing. But still, the happiness they're giving out is worth it all.

[JagHeterAlexandra]

This song sholdn't have won the Swedish finales...it's too weird and they look weird and I can see why we came i such a bad place that year. Sarah Dawn Finer should have been in the finales or Måns Zelmerlöw.

[TheAgoniesOfMyAunt]

hope Edison Lighthouse made a decent sum from this

[SnookRules]

I can't believe how bad it went for this song... it was so much better than "invincible" or "hero" .... the ark <3

[WhiteLilystar]

men herregud hahaha xD det här är minnesvärt!

[akumankka]

Sweden 0 points...

Ruotsalaiset on homoja

[amigafines]

@akumankka haista sinä

[Andrei091989]

what a crappy song!!!!

[RustedMetalHeart]

AWESOME!



[RebelHunter333]

This is an amazing song and very underated, i actually recorded Eurovision that year and kept rewinding this song and playing over and over and over again untill i actually had to stop because of time was getting on then i have been casually listening to it four years later, thank you The Ark for such a fabulous song. <3

[Angel77300]

Too much diiferent to win ESc for I love it ^_^

[pipsen1971]

How on earth did he beat Sara Dawn Finer????? This must be a joke..

[sirconorbrown]

i think this is one of the worst eurovision songs ever!

[abbea14]

Hehehe I can´t read

[PAULINAsleg]

HAHAHHA OMFG I seriously think this is SO embarrassing!!! so fucking bad and horrible!!! well we in sweden can defenetly joy other...xD

[VeronicaGSweden]

Too good for eurovision! That's why it failed... :)

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

@VeronicaGSweden Oh, come ON. That's nonsense. This song is mediocre. It's alright. I mean-- is this really in your top 200 songs? It's not in mine.

[VeronicaGSweden]

@AtariMaxiToriyama The song is awesome, but not ESC material. I guess you have to be a fan of the band to really understand what's so great about it.

[rammsteinlover1337]

@FlagProtectors im from sweden and I HATE "Eric Sadde"

[rammsteinlover1337]

har inte hört den här på flera år

havnt heard this one in many years

men jag ÄLSKAR den fortfarande

but i still LOVE it

[daveCUFC]

I am a huge Beatles fan and I honestly think this could have been a Beatles hit.

[morot172]

@daveCUFC Well, or a Queen's hit.

[Fantasygold2]

OLA! <3 *fangirlscweem!"*

Skämt åsido, jag har lyssnat sönder denna låten så extremt nu, men tycker samtidigt den var bäst det året x)

[TotalSceneKid]

I love this song, Ive downloaded it and its my ringtone ^_^

[Evafool]

Ola is not gay.. He have a daughter ;)

And The Ark is the best band ever and forever!

And if someone in the world is gay, what's wrong with that?

[SweetWanilla]

@Evafool he's bi * but who cares? its just awesome that someone can be them self, people shoudnt hate him becuz of that. (soz for bad english)

[loepsieloes]

@Evafool i so agree with you, im bisexual (he is too btw) and people really should stop saying being gay is bad...

[amigafines]

@Evafool well why cant he be gay if he has a daughter? :o

[MySweetEngel]

@Evafool Ther is a lot og gay men, there have children (:

[xXeasternX]

this is terrible

[Zimba00100]

This song should have won!

And Jepson's Gibson SG is awesome!

[dealerovski82]

they were last...

[Moomilainen]

@dealerovski82 18th place, bitch :)

[antshaful]

she? sounds like a man but looks and moves like a woman? im confused

[Niobesnuppa]

This song is so damn catchy. xD The Ark is a really good band, although this isn't really one of their best songs.

[TheLadySilverMoon]

Why in the world did this song not WIN!! Its one of swedens best entries, and one of the best in that year!! This song is soo awesome, and I love the leadsinger ^__^

[EvilChickFromSweden]

The Ark really is a very good band... Even though I haven't really listened to them for about 3-4 years. I watched them live once. Someone threw a bottle of soap up to the stage (on Ola, i think...).

[X1999OZ]

hahaha when I first listened to 2007's songs I didn't like it, now almost 4 years latter I just Love it! XD hahaha he's great n.n

[andrewlawrence2209]

this is one of those songs you really shouldnt like, but you do

[guggaman1]

People are so stupid, the video doesn't matter or how he acts, this is a music contest after all? Not a fashion show...

[Guitarscreech06]

SO MUCH WIN

[naggy100]

sweden is pro there is nothing wrong or bad with sweden

[LoPutoCatala]

fuck eurovision 2007 the first 10 countries were all from Eastern Europe!!! Is that a game, or just a shit created by politicians??

[skittleVIRUS]

the best with this song is that our teachers sang it on graduating :D and they wore almost the same clothes. xD

[TwistedAngelX]

If I was any one of them I'd be worried too. LOL

[BelgradeROWER]

This song sounds a lot like "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse!!!

[TwistedAngelX]

@BelgradeROWER You are correct! They ripped it off and they should be sued. :D

[LordOfTheBored]

The first artist in the history of Eurovision song contest who performed with a naked chest. This was an historical event Ladies and Gentlemen!

What a shame that Ola was apparently very nervous because the song was a really good one and had deserved a better place.

[zdrim]

@LordOfTheBored

but there were already somo dancers with naked chest!

[MickImpact]

@LordOfTheBored Wasn't the guy from Moldova in 2005 the first one to appear on the Eurovision Stage With a naked chest?

[bestlolxD]

this is SOO sweden :DD

[KFY133]

he is positive :D.. İ LİKE THEM :D.. but not for esc -_-

[abrapocus]

Can we PLEASE discuss something other than his sexuality, gosh people, the song's not that bad, but to me it's a knock-off of Norway 2005

[TheSkedejoona]

i'm from finland finland is next to the sweden on the map. thumb if you think sweden sucks and thi singer is gay or bi!

[8SOFFAN8]

@TheSkedejoona Why do you finish people hate swedes so much xD ( swedish btw) just want to know xd

[TheSkedejoona]

@8SOFFAN8 Because once in ice hockey finland - sweden was 5-1 and when game was ended it's 5-6 sweden wins that's why i hate swedish!

[leppsyl]

@TheSkedejoona lol, owned ;D

[SoffeMcCracken]

@TheSkedejoona Haha I'll NEVER forget that day <3

[TheSkedejoona]

@8SOFFAN8 and they are so gay

[8SOFFAN8]

@TheSkedejoona kk xD hahah. But you knwo everything is gay these days. Every day some one says "thats so gay" even if it isnt gay xD so im not surprized that you said it is gay xD . And poor you , sweden caused youi a lot of suffering...... ^^

[AndrewUK1987]

Does anyone else think this song is very similar to Edison Lighthouse's "Love grows where my rosemary goes"?

[JanekBabe]

It deserved a better place...

[NikkiJescTR]

2:06-2:12 awww Ola's so cutee :D

[SonOfFurzehatt]

I wish glam rock would make a proper comeback.

[jacalfer]

A la gran puta... que no es gay? No gueeeeevón...

[Tewhn]

is he gay?

[Selvendor]

This was my favourite song that year :D (But when I tried to vote for it, I voted for France instead. Ooops... Eh well. Cats rule.) I love it! One of Us is Gonna Die Young is great, too.

[MsCrazyPie]

this made me laugh so much!! I love the diversity from sweden. I love being swedish <3 XD

[JacksonloverMichael]

@MsCrazyPie I love being Swedish too! HaHa!

[ratatuto32]

in Lithuania we got a guy who sings similar to this, since we saw this we joke how gay version of him should be looking :D

[jamjam889]

I liked this very much, and still i do. :P

[adeocle]

Lol, good to see that the song has totally become subtext to the singer's sexuality. ->>;

[K22ffi]

LOVE IT!

[FilCroft]

Deserved more on Eurovision, this is such a great song :D

[lopajjus3]

whats the diferent he is gay or not....he brought different performance and it was funny....so well done ark :]

[metallord999]

This is what Eurovision is about songs which look weird and make you laugh abit but stick in your head

[lilianicious]

oh,he is a little crazy!!!!!!!!!!

[BillieJeanQueen]

He probably didnt thought of that, the whole Europe could see when he took off his shirt. Or maybe he did ;)

[BillieJeanQueen]

Haha, jag röstade inte på The Ark men jaa, kanske lite bra då :)

Haha, I didn´t vote for The Ark but

well, maybe a LITTLE good :)

BillieJeanQueen (Sweden)

[mx060990]

i loved it!

[uudrakgvens94]

maybe it was gay , but it was the most optimistic song of that year¡¡¡ :)

[SheSister]

@uudrakgvens94 just so you know the singer is acually Gay....

[TheTechno1337]

@SheSister No hes not hes bi

[Lauraekemar]

@SheSister He is married with a women and is dad. -.-

[SheSister]

@Lauraekemar well he was gay then xD last i heard he was gay :P

[Lauraekemar]

@SheSister He is BI! x'D I have met him. (from Sweden.)

[yzttim]

The ark var absolut värdiga vinnare i Melodifestivalen :)

[efaes]

I'VE LOVED THEM EVER SINCE!!!!!

[Mylparo]

How can you do more gay song than this. I think it's impossible. This one is the most gay what i've ever seen!

[friend01sd]

is he bi?? LOLOLXD

I vote for sweden every time!!

[jesusfreaklol1]

yep

[TheRezyn]

@friend01sd Hey you i dont vote but ima from sweden!

[hawthornroot]

@friend01sd

yup, he is :D

[firrefisk2]

@friend01sd Yup, he is :P

[IDNNK]

im from finland but loves it!

[simpan1997]

i,m from sweden but hate this song:S

[casinopoker]

Maybe be fail - but we have been in the top among the bookies for almost 20 years, and it will probably continue.

[vjmixed]

i am so sorry that it didn't end at top ten and i am swedish. so 12 points to sweden this time

[SaNBeanz]

I LOVE this song!!! One of the BEST that year!! definately underrated!

[airamhag]

It reminds me of the rythm and freshness of ABBA ..

[DimaBilanLove]

Why couldn't Sweden come at least top 10?

This is good!

[anteon32095]

He got a very gay voice!

[mrjosej89]

yeah that's very weird considering how masculine he looks! hahahahahahaha

[CarroLikeYou]

Jag älskar The Ark!! I love The Ark!!

[smg125]

This sounds very similar to another 80's song...

[Henry02222]

Actually to a 70's song called, "love grows where my rosemary goes". But i still love this one too!

I love The Ark!

[kimbroz2000]

I think it sounds similar to Alvin Stardust - Jealous mind

[Hopsu3]

That was first song what I hear on this band, and The Ark is my favourite band nowdays. Best songs on this band is It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane and One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young. I don´t care that he is bisexual.

[SaNBeanz]

Should have got a higher placing. Great song!

[101MrDarcy]

Awesome song!

:P my favourite eurovision song ever.

[sociii]

(: amazingly crazy

[Margarinzel]

i think he`s awesom

who cares if he`s gay or not

[ellenlob]

he is not gay, he is bisexual ;D

[000LadyGaGa000]

Funky song but not it got the place it deserved. : P

[BurningOnyx]

in my opinion; best song to be on eurovision.

Ola Salo is fit. who cares if he's gay. (:

[dualis777]

How could they think they would get points from Eastern Europe when they are dressed like gays..

[Henry02222]

i dont think thats the point! Ukraine's singer was dressed completely like a woman  and he finishes 2nd!

[nagybabavagyok]

DAs ist Funky sexy cool

[ceissari]

Totally scheisse! Singer looks like gay!!

[magdeiko]

the blonde guitarist is really hooooot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope he is not gay.....

[glasskatzzee]

which place did he come on? i know that he failed, maybe cause he's gay but answer plx ;)

[4ettame]

This song is so crazy!! You have to love it^^

[izpauli]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[Surftouka]

I don't care for the song & don't care if he's gay, but I don't like the fact that good part of the music is copy of an old 70's song! (u can find it on youtube) it's by Edison Lighthouse "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes". Guess I'm old enough that I recognized it 1st time I heard this song-and I sang along but with Edison's lyrics. I hate copycats!

[ChocolateMuffinEater]

You don't have to be old to realise that, as soon as I heard the song I thought of "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes".

[jsam93]

I thought I was the only one who realised the similarity there. Thanks for reassuring me that Im not going mad!

[majorleaguefan]

i love this song...and i fancy the ola salo a bit...you lot are all homophobes!

[joshyshusha]

he looks like the frontman of the killers with all this feather boa xD

[jethyy]

This, Hungarian song and the Serbian song were the best. Obviously Sweden didn't get enough credit for it because the Eastern European countries dominate.

[jejoan3]

singer is GAY!!!!!!

[Fulou]

And ours wasn't?! Scooch's really was!

[usernameofpain]

but jejoan3 is from finland

[Fulou]

It isn't just me in this country, i was refering to Our, as in the english, northern irish, scottish and welsh, since we only get one entry between us :)

[Cheapjown]

bisexual

[WoodNaruto]

So what!?

[magdeiko]

the one with the black pants...but i cannot understand if he plays guitar or bass...

[rafaelserres09]

hypnotized was better .....................i am from greece and idf you had sent hypnotized you would have 12 points from greece and cyprus!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leevi9000]

THIS IS THE BEST.

[liliom232]

the song wouldn't be so bad but the contrast between the outfit of the band and the style of the song is so irritating

[PontusPOWER]

I am from Sweden but i think this song sucks.

[ellenlob]

han är bi ja,.,

:D

[kungeeeennnn]

i'm swedish and he is a fucking gay !!!!!!!!!!!!

[typankor]

HE IS NOT A GIRL !! They are good, listen to there other songs! i know he looks diffrent but he whants to !!

[Sabatek11]

The ark was best! Why it didn't win... :(
