Rosenstolz & Marc Almond - Total Eclipse (Eurovision)

[albertonomi]

Marc did a great performance, he admire to Klaus Nomi

I like the Marc's version of this awesome song :)

[princeofdaftness]

i would not have seen the original version if not for Marc, and I think he did a pretty good job, at least he didn't murder I feel love like Klaus did.

[M12Gremlin]

@bahialabeille Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

[WillemRahbari1976]

for all that dont understand german. STOLZ means PROUD. And i dont think they should be proud if the rubbish they made :-)

[SadPerson4]

Lol, I got it, it was just a joke, Look! Guitarist in song without guitars at all, performing like on Sex Pistols gig, keyboardist in jeans, jumping as mad, and many other thing. This is the most hillarious performance I've seen:)

[M12Gremlin]

Isn't there a rule that any song entered in Eurovision has to be original and first performed within the last few months? How was this missed? The judges can't have been THAT young. Someone must have known of Klaus Nomi's original version. Ripping off of Klaus is pretty uncool, guys.

[bahialabeille]

@M12Gremlin It was not a song in competition, only a performance bewteen 2 competitors ;)

[futuristfood]

yikes.

[darevena]

Klaus Nomi würde sich im Grab umdrehen wenn er das hören müsste... und vorallem sehen... puuuh

[telegramsam]

@darevena Nomi was cremated, not buried... but I agree with you.

[theloya1965]

fuck Klaus, he was an Opera singer dont compare. His German accent was too much , F U all dumb retards

[JakobVirgil]

is this after the motorcycle accident? did Marc forget how to be cool? 

[saintfias]

Klaus sang both parts much better

[wakalozo]

Ich finde es scheiße

[Lofeman]

als englander, ich fuhle ein bischen Schande dass Klaus Nomi war nicht gesagt, der war der Originale. schon gut zu sein "homage", aber das war nicht sonnenklar, und am Ende des Tages hat Mark es nicht geschafft alein, er brauchte Hilfe von einer weiblichen stimme...... das war fuer Klaus Nomi nicht noeitig. sorry, Mark, I'm still a fan !!

[RoyalGuard503]

Some people to get over themselves and realize this is just a cover. A tribute. Some respect. It doesn't have to be the original, and it shouldn't try to be.

In other words: Shut the fuck up and enjoy the song.

[qurazy]

Why is Nicholas Cage trying to sing Nomi?

[princeofdaftness]

if it was not for Marc doing this i would not have given this a second look and looked at the original and other work by Klaus Nomi , so give him some slack he's being respectful .

[PIPERCUB2006]

Oh, noooo...Marc say you didn't! Klaus Nomi is the ONLY one who can make this song what it is!

[Eliichka]

Klaus Nomi is rolling over in his grave. убожество.

[Griwhoolda]

It's a cover, people. Relax.



[pingvin929]

да уж, убожество, Клаус Номи на порядок живее был имхо...

[TheCannibalrose]

Marc is a great performer, and I am VERY appreciative of him keeping Klaus' memory alive. Mr Nomi is one who desperately needs not to be forgotten. That said, Marc doesn't have the "zing" to really pull off the song. But it's a worthy effort. I would love it had I never heard the original.

[Metotron0]

Урод безголосый, так песню испоганил.

[Crijevo]

Marc is a great musician but sometimes particular songs should be left alone... this one is really crap. Marc's voice is the only thing worth in this but the arrangement is just too dull and lifeless, the cover suffers greatly as a result. But then again, who can tell Klaus wouldn't mess with it if he were still alive?

[SeeburgMusic]

Klaus Nomi owns this.

[haitipi]

No Klaus, say it isn't so! This is a disgrace to the Klaus Nomi name and I was APPALLED. Marc Almond is not just a NUT , but a FRUIT too. The song contained too much embellishments , perhaps too hide what a horror show it was.

Hey, we all know that too most of the world, Klaus Nomi was too much. So what niche audience was this ass looking (or Licking?) for?

And what a no-talent horse face that Rosenstolz is

[haitipi]

No Klaus, say it isn't so! This is a disgrace to the Klaus Nomi name and I was APPALLED,

[xixaxland]

i really liked Nomi singing this song, but i enjoy this version also.

i dont think the girl was actually singing.

i also thought hagen was supposed to sing the female parts?

germany is karokeyed

[ZuzerHun]

this is a shame. nomi is turning in his grave

[progress2007]

hm... somehow it doesn't work out. It sounds a lot like Eurovision and not bad at that, but neither does the soprano stuff hit as hard as it should, nor is the dark humor celebrated enough.

Feelgood song with lyrics about the apocalypse.

Too bad there isn't a better production of Nomi's version and it's always good to see Marc Almond, while this one has its moments, it is comparably faceless.

Nomi will be missed forever - he just died too young.

[ZLUGGO]

@TheTKasp

I think it's quite good. And the lady sounds a lot like Nomi.

[ZLUGGO]

Did he really sing "hotter than the holocaust"?

[telegramsam]

@ZLUGGO hotter than *a* holocaust. holocaust=whole-burning, by definition. A small chance but big difference in actual meaning. The word existed before the genocidal acts of the Nazis, though obviously most people are going to think of that first.

[ZoukiniPower]

oh my god that was terrible. they completely destroyed de music, his voice his and his interpretation were awfull. and if that was not enough, he is not able to sing it alone. come on, if you cant do something dont do it. this is a disgrace to the Nomi name.

[ZLUGGO]

@ZoukiniPower

I think it's brilliant.

[Metotron0]

Так песню испохабили. К тому же, Клаус один её пел, не стоило им браться.

Хотя тётка молодец, слышно музыкальное образоваие. Не то что у этого хорька.

[redroversk]

Bom shikka bom shikka bom, makes everything new. Also ehh...

[khukhem1001]

Klaus Nomi is god! I love him! 

[ZLUGGO]

@khukhem1001

Jesus is God. I love Him.

[AuRisTH06]

QUE FARSA!!!!!!!

dan asco esos 2 ¬¬

[fredtheking350]

@DasKassengift wie alt bist du?????? Noch nie von Marc Almond gehört, sorry aber dann hast du keinerlei Musikwissen. Marc Almond& Dave Ball waren in den 80er das angesagte britische Pop Duo"Soft Cell" Nach der Trennung war Marc allein unterwegs und hat einige sehr erfolgreiche Songs veröffentlicht. an das Original vom großen Klaus Nomi kommt weder diese noch die Rosenstolz Solo Nummer dran. Eine Größe wie KLAUS NOMI kann man nicht covern.

[kathrin9674]

PLastikschrott im Vgl. zum Original....

[SHight10011]

Sorry, but both the female and male lead here are less than theatrically magnetic! Sorry.

[Organiste06]

What a shit compared to the orginal... Fucking singer.

[gunsass]

She is totally lip syncing ....lame

[knutdergrosse]

na und?Marc Almond ist für beste Cover bekannt. Klaus Nomi wird es nicht stören.

[pezbaer1983]

WAS HEISST IHREN NEUESTEN SONG HE??? DAS HALT KLAUS NOMI GESUNGEN!!!!! MUSS CIH MICH AUFREGEN AUCH NOCH HIER!!!!!!!!!

[nerfbert]

Warum covert man so einen inkommensurablen Song???

Habe die ganze Zeit darauf gewartet, dass Dieter Thomas Heck umme Ecke kommt...

Naja, vielleicht wollten sie ja auch nur eine Diskussion anfachen, um Klaus Nomi nicht vergessen zu lassen...

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

so this is the gay version of the song

[Ulisexgang]

No Almond, this song is too much for you. The song is not ruined, Klaus is in my ears, you just want popularity. it sucks man. Nomi is pissed uff.

[TheBoyWhoCameBack]

I know one thing the audience loved it :-)

[walterglanz]

Klaus Nomi, Marc Almond, Nina Hagen were the best of the 80s. And DeBarge.

[TheMsGabiB]

@DasKassengift

Soll das ein Scherz sein? Von Marc Almond SOLLTE man aber gehört haben.... Aber daß er sowas hergeben hat....

[DeLoused777]

NOOOOOOoooooo.....

[Fischerspoonraff]

Why?

[kherux]

I don't mind anyone singing Klaus's songs, but this is just pitiful.

[mosalacrima90]

jamas igualaran a nomi

[Mindestabstand]

Eine Sünde von Rosenstolz würden die 2 Süßen wohl heute auch nicht mehr machen :-)

[bamboochafreak]

schlechtes playback

[landbridge]

Wearing "Exploited" and "Anarchy" shirts killing a true Avante-Garde legend. What poser's. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the DEFINITION OF POSER right here.

[pinstripe01]

OMG klaus nomi!! what did they do to you!!! :( :( they made you sound bad

[fritz1858]

@pinstripe01

They made THEMSELVES sound bad, not Klaus!

[Piro1717]

So schade um das Potenzial von Rosenstolz ...

[ryanmillerart]

subletting the falsetto to a soprano is disqualification. FAIL.

[captaingorgonzola]

this blows

[dapcourt]

Just check out the original Klaus Nomi version from years ago - much better.

[wylamman]

I agree. I like Marc Almond but the combined efforts of 2 do not come close to Klaus on his own.

[ayoustubew]

@dapcourt - ...not. But this is a matter of taste which no one can really argue about.

[telegramsam]

@dapcourt This performer has none of the fragile beauty of Nomi, that's for sure. A lot of people think Nomi is just "camp" or whatever, but his performance & look were all very, very precise. This performance is really blunt in comparison. I don't think this person understood Nomi or his art in the slightest....

[HerrKlausNomi]

This is an example how the very good song can be totally ruined.

This guys didn't understand the song. Their version is dreck.

Maestro Klaus Nomi is unbeatable and incomparable.

[zuckerfe95]

sorry...aber ich find des klingt einfach schwul...

[Sewicide]

Rosenstolz, Marc Almond, und Klaus Nomi...was man für schlechte Gerichte aus so guten Zutaten basteln kann..

[olayadiego]

this girl saves all from the mega gay men voice

[decimuscarrerus]

no way in hell this shitty song can win eurovision.

[SvanyMaus]

schönes lied eigentlich, wenn das nich so auf Schlager/Musikantenstadel gemacht wäre

[Athaleth]

was ist das denn...?

[bonniethebestyeah]

naja wems gefällt,Klaus Nomi ist eh unerreicht

[comradevinyl]

Als ihr Stern in der Gay Community zu sinken drohte, sollte Marc Almond die Quote retten. Schade, dass dabei dieser unsterbliche Klaus Nomi Song so verwurstet wurde.

"Königin" bleibt unsterblich!

[MISSMCSEXY72]

das lie dist so krank das es schon wieder gut ist :-D

[anarchos666]

hmm...

für mich klingt das ganz nach (musikalischer) vergewaltigung an einem (eigentlich) geilen song...

klaus nomi rotiert wohl im grabe...

[svs1919merkstein]

waren die beim esc oder nur beim vorentscheid

[knifecut]

too bad Nina wasn't with them here....

[THW66]

Wer hier schreibt, dass er Rosenstolz mag, aber das Lied nicht zu ihnen passt, der hat Rosenstolz niemals richtig gehört und wird Rosenstolz niemals verstehen. Das Lied ist ROSENSTOLZ, es lebt ROSENSTOLZ - mit jeden einzelnem Ton.

Man denke nur an "Soubrette werd ich nie". Ich Finde diesen Song von genau diesen Interpreten fabelhaft. Der Plate könnte weniger den Laubfrosch spielen und sich mehr im Hintergrund halten, aber ansonsten ist es ein schönes Video.

[bonniethebestyeah]

kannst Du so nich behaupten THW66 natürlich hat der Song einen Touch von Klaus-Trophobie das stimmt,aber dieser Song naja nich mein Geschmack auch wenn ich nen grosser Rosenstolz Fan bin,meine Meinung.

[PsyMcDeath]

Wie sich die Geister scheiden können...

Ich mag Rosenstolz nicht, aber das hier find ich echt cool, auch wen der Sänger nicht mal ansatzweise mit Klaus Nomi mithalten kann.

Wurde Rosenstolz eigentlich für das verwenden des Songs disqualifiziert? Soweit ich weis, darf man zum EVSC nur mit unveröffentlichen Songs antreten, oder bin ich da Falsch informiert?

[raddyxx]

Hallo! Rosenstolz+Marc Almond waren Pausenprogramm, keine Vorentscheid-Teilnehmer

[PsyMcDeath]

Ah, OK. :)

Das setzt das ganze natürlich in ein ganz anderes Licht. Danke für die Info :)

[bonniethebestyeah]

ich mag Rosenstolz echt gern,eine superklasse Band,aber das Lied hier,wenn mans auch als ein solches nennen kann,ich echt grauenvoll,passt einfach nich zu denen......ne also bei aller Liebe macht lieber wieder euer Ding allein...........

[Xigbar13]

My God, this is so painfully fake xD

[knifecut]

agreed

[keno68cl]

very good song,i never listen before,was very good!!!!thk for posting!

[bettysangria]

Klaus Nomi

[vermicel32]

the most beautiful honoring which we can return to the genuis Klaus Nomi. Marc Almond and Rosenstolz magnificently interpreted this song !!!

[Nakkinak]

GOTT SEI DANK HABEN SIE DEN VORENTSCHEID NICHT GESCHAFFT!

PUUUH ES GIBT DOCH EINEN GOTT!

Oh, meine Feststelltaste war ja an.

Und ist das Lied nicht irgendwie über nen Atomkrieg? Bei den wirkt das so, als sei das 'ne Geburtstagnummer für Discoprolethen.

[AnnaAliena]

Ich finde es scheiße, nicht mal zu erwähnen, dass das Original von Klaus Nomi ist! :-( Und mal ehrlich, dieses Synthie-Gedudel ist Lichtjahre da von entfernt. Marc Almond hat weder die Theatralik noch die Ironie von Klaus in der Stimme, und Anna R. ist einfach nur im Studio hochgepusht. Man hört dich sofort, dass sie sich nicht mal die Mühe gemacht haben, das live zu singen! :-( Klaus Nomi ist und bleibt unerreicht!

[markdelaney]

ok it's not as good as Klaus but at least Kristian got some recognition that he deserves and it's a way of letting younger kids learn about Klaus

[RobotoMA]

@AnnaAliena

Laut i net : Obwohl Nomi in Paris und New York einige Berühmtheit erlangte und eine Goldene Schallplatte in Frankreich erhielt, ist er in Deutschland auch heute noch wenig bekannt.

Das dürfte erklären das keiner wuste das dies ein Cover Song ist , ich auch nicht obwohl ich mich mit Musik sehr gut auskenne ,aber von Klaus Nomi hatte ich noch nie gehört , hab mich jetzt aber schlau gemacht :-)

[ArianeAndreas]

@AnnaAliena Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil. Klaus Nomi wird von dem Videoeinsteller gleich zum Anfang erwähnt.

[RheingoldxxL]

Naja, ich bin ein KLAUS NOMI Fan ... was soll ich sagen ... viel mehr stellt sich mir immer wieder die Frage, was bei so einem eindeutigen Synthie-Act dieser E-Gitarrist soll?

[moxxommoxxom]

Interessant ist der Hintergrund zu diesem Lied.

Klaus Nomi war das erste bekannte Opfer der HIV Immunschwäche.

Rosenstolz sind seit jeher sehr engagiert in der Aidshilfe und Peter ist bekennender Schwuler.

Das Lied ist gleichzeitig Hommage an den einzigartigen, viel zu früh verstorbenen Klaus Nomi, als auch Ermahnung die dafür verantwortliche schreckliche Krankheit nicht aus dem Fokus zu verlieren.

[dynamothomar]

naja das lied geht find ich aber das rumgespringe von dem rosenstolz menschen ist lächerlich

[kmfdm10392]

marc almond should know better....

[markdelaney]

Marc is proud to have sung this song.

[SonjaKraus]

klaus nomi dreht sich im grab um wenn er das hört !

[moxxommoxxom]

Ich weiss nicht, nur weil es den persönlichen Geschmack nicht trifft (Mir gefällt die Interpretation auch nicht besonders) ist es doch eine unglaubliche Sache, zu behaupten, es würde jemand anderem auch nicht gefallen.

Sich so etwas anzumassen, fiele mich nicht ein.

Weisst Du, ob Klaus Nomi von dieser Interpretation nicht begeistert wäre?

Ich weiss nur, ich verdrehe die Augen, wenn ich so einen Mist lese!

[hatedisease89]

marc is so queer.

[Bonzostar]

That is just shocking!!!!

I love Rosenstolz but this is terrible!!

Es ist fuerchtbar!!

[eightycargo100]

....das ist absoluter Müll und eine Beleidigung des grossen Künstlers Klaus Nomi !

[fauqTonDal]

...If Nomi haven`t been died already, he would die by seeing that!

a shame...

[moxxommoxxom]

a sham is your comment!

he was killed by aids, theres is no place for such a comment. a little more respect. Klaus Nomi rest in peace.

[fauqTonDal]

well I know that.. read my comment twice please, and think about!

[d3gn4hc]

This is disgusting...

It's lacking any connection between the lyrics and the show, these guys are just some fancy showups...

Nomi's version is, I would say, kind of noble, tragicomic, he makes you believe him every word.

[zmnim]

Man, what an insult to the original song.

[Pamp67]

I have to assume that hell is something similar to this performance.....frivilously european.

[LILA4321]

OMFG good cover but Klaus Nomi rlz!!!

[thestereosalvation]

On the video and performances she is miming the vocal, but Nina Hagen sang the vocals on the recording. The CD is by Rosenstolz, Marc Almond and Nina Hagen.

[vitaline02]

No, Nina Hagen doesn't sing at all on this song. On the maxi-CD, she sings on another track (Die Schwarze Witwe), but not on this one. The single cover is quite misleading though (Rosenstolz + Marc Almond + Nina Hagen - Total Eclipse), but Nina definitely doesn't sing on this song, only on the "B Side" so to say...

[clearbluewater1]

if this had been an entry it woulda won eurovision

[VancouverVortex]

too bad they made them lip sync it instead of performing it

[hotspace80]

Klaus Nomi!!!

He wasn't even mentioned in one word! Shame.

[vitaline02]

True, shame on me! I changed the info and the tags accordingly ;)

[ZLUGGO]

@hotspace80

I agree!

[vitaline02]

Actually it was the German competition before the Eurovision, to decide who should represent Germany. And Marc+Rosenstolz didn't compete, there were performing only as guests.

[thestereosalvation]

Wow I never knew he did this on Eurovision, only shame is they didn't get Nina Hagen on to perform her bits rather than the stand in!

[SXTZ1]

There's actually a version only featuring Nina Hagen floating around out there and its Brilliant! :-)

[Jessuss1991]

wow !

[ARTHURSTAR]

wow wow and more wow. Marc looks sexy as fuck in this.Never seen this before.thx for making my weekend.

[karenKristal]

oooh, he looks fit in this one ;-)
