2nd rehearsal Sweden

[ThePutteswiss]

She sing live like shit and have no persona on stage. And she ia a judge on Sweden got talent LOOOOL

[Andyzavr]

Yeah, the song was one of the best, but the show was....

[DolgorukovSS]

I can't even yet realize why she hadn't won. It's strange eve for me, although I'm from Moscow)) She was the best tha year

[tobiashero]

Charlotte Perrelli is the best forever and ever in eurovision <33 hero<33 I feel proud to be a swedish when I listen to the good music we send every year!!

[thefsxflyer2]

but not this year dude! a opera singer :S

[marcouk1989]

diva de eurovision 2008

[3urovision]

ljuseffekterna var sp himla mkt bättre här än i finalen :O :)

[ajdin000]

Oh, I just saw that my last comment was wrong discused. I ment "Suckers" to all of you who are saying horrible things about Charlotte. ;)

She is the best!

[ajdin000]

suckers!

[dirofreak]

best version of the song (we do hear men backing vocalist , and this give a different taste of the song, just great)

[3urovision]

backing vocalists is maybe the singers performing with charlotte?

[ceinduggan8]

she has a fantastic figure for a mother of 2 children :D

[mattskib]

Thanks so much for posting this. It should have won - such a strong 'Eurovision' song! Charlotte Perrelli really gives a polished performance and clearly knows her audience well - we all love a bit of glamour.....! And I much prefer this rehearsal video as you can see how slick the routine is.

[johanmarken]

this is very GOOD! love it!

[vets87]

Loseres...

[airasweetie]

we don´t understand what you trying to say sweetheart ;). go practice on your english instead of wasting your precious time here on youtube. kisses

[3urovision]

i think charlotte has a really good english! ;)

[HSMHP489]

Hon ser ut som om hon har genom gått 1000 plastikoperationer! men låten e bra

[airasweetie]

spela roll om hon nu opererat sig eller inte. hon är isåfall bara 1 av miljontals som pillat me utseendet me hjälp av kirurgi.

[WilliamOhlen]

Hon är så jävla ful!

[slimshaddyyy]

What can I say? Sweden just have bad taste, likes schlager, punk, disco and shit like that, obs! Jag är svensk, så hoppa inte på mig ;)

[h0rra]

NI suger

[Marzea]

VI SUGER!!

[Pecurunu]

I'm of you same opinion. Probably if Switzerland was in Eastern Europe Paolo Meneguzzi on the festival ;-)Tho module of voting should change, otherwise this contest will die!

[joaosito92]

i´m so happy

this music don´t win

[MJJMoonwalker]

SWEDEN IS THE BEST!

[SindyT]

typical ABBA...but it's not enough for me...i waited a little better song...

[petterlind]

ABBA? this isn't even remotely close to ABBA's type of music. Couldn't be more different.

[EriicTheKing]

the only problem in todays eurovision is that to many countries do a neigher vote for each other... is anyone with me ?

[JempaZan]

Älskar Denna Sången. Vi ÄGER.

/ From Sweden

[detekallt]

Vi Suger

San Marino ägde!

[jordimla]

i hate this song, but having listened to all the other entries and even the winner...this should have place higher...only malta gave it 12 points.

[AlbanianRulles]

this was a very good song,at least in top 5!

But this Eurovision Contest is more political then artistic..rulles by slavic countrys.

Best whishis from albania

[Anorak20]

This is a truly fantastic song and should have won the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. Pity about all the politics...I hope this song is released into the pop charts around the world. It's more than good enough to be a Number 1 Hit. I wish it well.

[SugarLikeMe]

Very sorry for you sweden, i just hope that it will be better next year, Du gjorde bra ifrån dig,

[luminoustarisma]

Woah, all five Scandinavian countries got through? That's highly unusual, but I am very happy for it! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[eurovisioon2008]

SHE WAS AMAZING TONIGHT!!! SHE GOT THROUGH :D im so happy right now. Charlotte is the hero of eurovision!!! number one sweden!!!

[iloveyoutoomuchbaby]

like a UFO

[eurovisionftw]

Great performance tonight.

Congratulations Charlotte, backing singers, and Sweden :-)

[gr8player1]

For those saying Charlotte "stole" Ani's dress, Ani had a totally different dress in the national final, so if anyone is to be accused of stealing it shoulnd't be Sweden and lovley Charlotte!

[lisa21tran]

Good luck Sweden.i hope you will go to final tonight!! love you Charlotte!!!

[EVRUSSTV]

She should change her male dancers. They are fat and not good looking. They don't much with her.

[iloveyoutoomuchbaby]

fat? are you blind?

[whythese]

I think that she will do a Amazing performance in the semifinal! She is a real pro! And HERO is a fantastic song!

[teddypm]

Ukraine is copying Sweden!

[geniusgleb]

IT IS PLAGIARISM! Sweden is copying Ukrainian participent Ani Lorak!

[JBJeppsson]

Ani is so copying Charlottes act... Charlotte had the same act and almost the same dress i the swedish competition but Ani did´nt...And their is a big differance between those two.. Charlotte have class and Ani dont.

[inspireradavstatyer]

Who had a silver dress in the national final? Charlotte and not Ani Lorak.

Who had an encrusted microphone in the national final? Charlotte and not Ani Lorak.

Who had four dancers dressed in black in the national final? Charlotte and not Ani Lorak.

While Ani Lorak already is in the wind, why doesn't she steal the retro-beginning an the laser too?

[geniusgleb]

No! No! No! & no again! Are you kidding??!! It is just Swedish envy. Because your oldwoman with tensed scalpel sucks.

[inspireradavstatyer]

I'm not kidding, and you are just to eager about fucking Ani Lorak too admit that she's unable to come up with something new. What I wrote was an very objective observation of things she've copied - I'm immune to critic.

[geniusgleb]

What can I say to you, my lovely bitch, is a thanksgiving for PR to the best and the most unique participant this year, to Ukraine.

[inspireradavstatyer]

I'm sorry, but neither Sweden or Ukraine are especially unique (at least I can admit it). If you want something original for real, do like me and vote for France - the most modern and fascinating performer this year. And please, if writing comments on youtube is equivalent to making PR, then I'm honoured to be a PR-machine.

[inspireradavstatyer]

And unlike eastern Europe, we think that years just have made a singer more professional.

[mtenor]

i am from the uk and one thing your overlooking is this is actually a good song yours isnt

[wilovemusic]

She win eurovision this year!!

LOVE YA CHARLOTTE!

we in sweden will be very proud of you when you win.....No we are alredy proud of you Charlotte <3

[lisa21tran]

Tonight it is the time to show the best show of Charlotte of Sweden.And i hope Sweden will go to the final.Please! europe hope you will vote for Charlotte.Good luck to you Charlotte!!

[Kenny1117]

Sweden for the win!

[theblueline]

What tha hell? Is she like, to stupid to learn a new rutine. This is the same shit she preformed in Melodifestivalen, should realy have spiced it up a bit! Good song, poor performance...

[eurovisionftw]

Spiced it up a bit? Which video were you watching?

This is a great performance of a great song. Why change something that is fantastic as it is?

[theblueline]

If you have seen Ani Loraks performance this is boring. I´m sure Charlotte could have done this so much better, but it seems like they play it safe. I had expected alot more from Sweden because they are one of my favorittes this year!

[thealeksander]

I must say Swedens song is good, but did you know that she's got another singer in the background that sings the same as her? This makes Charlottes voice more powerfull, but after my opinion it's very close to what I consider legal in the contest. If you take a look at this clip at 2:25 min in the left of the stage, you will see a woman in the back:

youtube. com / watch?v=K1QpEb6-RP4

(I couldn't paste the entire adress, so I had to make some space between the different parts)

[Coffer89]

The woman in the back is simply part of the choir, she sings when the other choir members sing too. They simply wanted two women and two men to do the dance routine on stage, that's why she's in the background! Fully legal and logical!

[Coffer89]

[Adequake]

Almost every single entrant in this year's contest has backing singers! They're allowed up to 6 people on stage - they may all sing if they wish. Completely normal in Eurovision and anywhere else!

[jpengland]

vodkaaaaaaaa is so betterrrr vodka come on vote for malta morena she's the best. 12 pionts go to maltaaaa

[JBJeppsson]

Love it! No other artist in the ESC have that kind of energy like Charlotte delivers on stage... and she sounds better live than recorded..as I have seen on these rehearsal clips.

What othet artist in this competition can do that? Maybe Icelands Euroband perhaps...=) But their song is better than the two artists that delivers it.

[ochsebbe]

According to BBC and other sources she is a huge favourite and will win probably quite comfortable in front of Ukraine. Also reporters and fans have been voting down there in Belgrade and also think Charlotte is a clear favourite....GO SWEDEN!

[gmulhall1]

Good Song

6 points from Ireland

[Jalynfein1]

Doesn't matter really if the song is good or not. Today it's politics and freakshows that win today.

It's an ok song for being Eurovision but not the best one Sweden could have sent.

[softnjoy]

she will win !!!!

[Heartosphere]

Love her!!! She just have to win this year!!!

[tarantinoCG]

romania,armenia,ukrain,russia,­sweeden,greece,serbia,israel,p­ortugal and montenegro TOP10...vote people for them

[manosallstar]

Sweden...simply will not pass!!!! She will be hampted by the bad position and the too many favorites in the first places Anna Vissi is much better than Charlotte..are you blind? can't you see that her eyes wants a little to come to her ears.. Your embarrassment is obvious!!!!! Sweden won;t pass....

[inspireradavstatyer]

Are you blind? Anna Vissi is a 100 % victim of plastic surgery hell. Please, leave before you make an ever bigger joke of yourself than you alreadu have.

[davfirenze]

well charlotte is a good singer, but i think this year she looks not real , she's like a doll and the song is not very unusual

Charlotte's group are true professionals. Many of the other groups are rehearsing half heartedly, but Charlotte's group are giving a real performance. Congratulations for a great song.

[gmulhall1]

Good song Sweden - 6 points from Ireland

[stektprinskorv]

Go Sweden i'will vote for you

this song is the winner <3

[mssdm]

this song is soooo overrated...its got nothing....it will make it to the final only cos the rest are mostly crap...but otherwise its terrible...not a winner

[marce02006]

LOOK THIS IS THE WINNING SONG OF THE ESC 2008!!!! GREAT SONG, GREAT PERFORMANCE AND I AM SURE THAT SWEDEN WILL WIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SIMPLE SHOW, NOT A COMPLICATE ONE LIKE GREEK AND UKRAINIAN ONE. In the greek and ukrainian song we can see how the singers are running on the stage to do everything. Charlotte have a simple show, a great one, everyhthing is sure, exact, put in his place.

Go SWEDEN!!! The next ESC competition will be in Stockholm, and Charlotte will be the host!!!

[ochsebbe]

Best singer in the field....and I never get tired of the song....goohoo Charlotte!

[chokLoCo]

because of the similarities between charlotte and ani, this could be the first serious battle between east and west... due to the eastern countries larger amount, ani is going to the whole thing, counting the extra votes from ukranian diaspora...

it would be interesting if the voting turned out this way, but once again, I want eurovision in Sweden 2009!

[inspireradavstatyer]

But Eastern Europe is very good at supporting each other - West Europe doesn't do the same to the same extent. That's why the competition is dominated by east.

[IsThisOurGroup]

Ohhh! Ukraine and Sweden are waering the same thing!!

This song is quite boring and plain! But good luck!

7 points from the UK!

[iquela]

better and better each time she is a real pro!

[eurovisionftw]

Three beautiful and sexy women, a good song with good choreography, and a great performance. Eurovision 2009 could easily be in Sweden :-)

[EVSC1]

[gmulhall1]

Great song Sweden. We in Ireland always like the Swedish entries. 12 points to Sweden - Hopefully you will give Ireland some points in return

[RaKii92]

and 2nd....

Anis & Charlottes Dresses have only same coulor, nothing else.....

[RaKii92]

At Swedish Voting Charlotte Has diffrent Dress... You cannot say that she has the same dress...

and Ukraine has a Silver dress too when she won in Ukraine....

tahn Ani lorak says in March that Cavaldi make for her new dress... you cannot say that Ani copy it from Charlotte, when then Charlotte copy it from Ani...

[emmadaniella]

Det kommer bli en stor fajt mellan Charlotte och Ani Lorak , men Charlotte kommer nog vinna med några få poäng. (:

[gr8player1]

Hero is such a good song anyway, so it doesn't need a big box full of lights (Ukraine), and Charlotte is way more professional!

But I would be pleased if Sweden won and Ukraine at second place :)

[booooy123123]

Ani loraks perfomence is more exciting and faster. But Charlottes is more professionel, much more calmer. Charlottes performence is grownup. Ani lorak its not a babyperfomence, but not a grownup.

But i love both shady lady and hero, but i hope that sweden will win.

[awuma]

This is a calmer, more polished performance than Ani Lorak's, with Charlotte always the focus, but the Ukrainian performance is more original and lively, and the song is less schmaltzy, almost campy. They are both very good.

[vickyvei]

sweden the best

[EscSimon]

Yeah Ani Lorak and Charlotte almost gonna wear the same dress ;) and it's going to be one of them in the final I think.

[PHILCHEL06]

It's for sure she has a fantastic voice. I like the 'Boney M' beat in the song :-)

[ItsJohanbitch]

Charlotte is da shiiet :)

[chokLoCo]

such a bad thing that two almost identical acts are performning after eachother(sweden 2 spots before ukraine) sweden has a big disadvantage of this, because ukraine's song and performance is more dynamic... such a bad thing :( hope charlotte will win

[Fieldofroses]

Ukraine has a very dull song so I don't think that's gonna do a different, really...

[svensklitenflikka]

ukraine has stolen a bit of charlottes nr ;(

ani got the same dress... ;(.

ani do the same moves, somtimes.

GO CHARLOTTE, YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANI :D <33

[richardsweden]

Pete burns wants his lips back. Awful from a transvestite.

[luornu]

Wait....so because I'm a fan of the ESC, I'm 'enslaved'? WTF does that even mean? No one forces me to like it against my will. In fact I put up with a lot of ribbing over it 'cause everyone else I know hates it. Sounds to me like the esc haters are the 'enslaved' ones! Vive la Liberte!

[kmaspmfa]

I think that Sweden will win, and Ukraine will get the second place. Just a few points between those.

Love Perrelli!

[whearetheshit]

I love you charlotte perelli. vote for sweden.

12 points :)

[CotsiosAelcy]

very very good...!!!!i will absoluteky vote for her!!!

[Swedishname]

I hate Ukraine singer for having a lool-a-like dress just like Charlotte! :@ :(

[EscSimon]

Good luck on Thursday Charlotte :)

hope you many 10 and 12 points!

[gr8player1]

zerhoassoluto clearly doesn't like Charlotte...

[zerhoassoluto]

I think Melodifestivalen is not fair at all. Everybody knows Charlotte was the fave of the juries and she would win, even Sanna, Sibel and Nordman had one hundred times better songs(the next time Sweden may choose internally entrie, it's the same). I don't like her, Kalomoira and Dima Bilan this year...and all the three are favorites by eurofans, so my comments are hated everywhere. Anyway is my own opinion...

[inspireradavstatyer]

Of course you are hated by everyone. You've clearly declared how much you dislike "Hero", and you're suffering from an almost sexual will to tell everyone about your opinion. If you don't like this song - DON'T LISTEN TO IT!

And Nordman, Sanna or Sibel wouldn't stand i chance in this competition.

[zerhoassoluto]

and why are the comments for? to know if you like or you dislike the issue. if you don't want DON'T READ MY COMMENTS! I like Hero but not Charlotte, what's the matter. And be respectuous 'cause I don't include offenses or rude words in my comments. People mocked of Iceland's bad luck in ESC and these are marked as good comments...

[inspireradavstatyer]

Here it is: people think you're an idiot because you're obsessed by a song you have declared that you hate.

I will absolutely follow your will and never read your comments again - I hope no one will, because they're as worthless as their author.

[zerhoassoluto]

hahaha, you're so funny. Greetings!

[KFDonny]

i fucking hate eurovision song contest. allways the same shit and its a gay show. entertainment for the enslaved. fuck you all.

[melvinu007]

my god what a tremendous song :)

i m definetely sure she's gonna be the winner...my vote goes to her :P Expect high points from Malta guys...10 or 12 ...

Goodluck Charlotte great song and wonderful presence on stage! Take some vodka once u win :P Goodluck!!!! With love from Malta.

VOTE FOR MORENA!

[zerhoassoluto]

you can't compare Ani Lorak's charisma and performance...Charlotte is so hateful, cold and fake. The laser show is nice, but Kalomoira's heart of flowers (even it's awful), will impress the people and Greece will reach the final again...anyway Hero has nothing to do with Shady Lady. Sorry, I understand Eurofans are the majority fans of Charlotte, but it's the actual situation, open ur eyes!

[quiteamesshuh]

hateful?! Do you know her or what? I agree, to some she may come across as distant and cold (though I think she is very professional), but hateful?! Shut it, will you.

[zerhoassoluto]

I meant hateful as a person who you doesn't like because of her own personality. No one says she's not professional or good singer, but that's my opinion.

[DeepAquaNeptune]

I think it's great that Charlotte doesn't use any "stuff" more than the lasers in her performance. I mean, Greece have some kind of... "Thing" they bend up and who makes a heart of flowers, or something, in their performance. Ukraine also have some kind of thing in their performance with lights and everything. Charlotte just have Lasers. Simple and great!

[booooy123123]

yeah, her performence is pretty much the same.

But the swedish people love it ! SO why vould the change it ? And, its only the swedish people who have seen it. And we cant vote for usselfs. So for the rest of the countries, the have never seen this !

[CharlotteToESC]

Fantastic Performance, Fantastic Dress!!!!! I HATE UKRAINE SINGER FOR HAVING A LOOK-A-LIKE DRESS JUST LIKE CHARLOTTE. >:(
