The whole white-light effect was so much better in the Swedish finals. She was wearing a white dress and was almost invisible. It was friggin' awesome.
This is a seriously highly polished piece of performance - outstanding in many ways - a fusion of dance, classical and musical theatre - it really really works! And, what an outstanding performance - utter precision, control and enjoyment! Classical trained singer, possibly experimenting in this style - it works - more please!
malena is wonderful and i'm so proud of being swedish right now! this is our best contribution since 1999, when charlotte nilsson won the eurovision song contest. only a fool will deny that this is high quality. she's one of europe's best operah singers! if sweden don't win i hope for TURKEY or MOLDAVIA. i will vote for one of them. i haven't decided which one of them yet. ;)
Hello. Malena was def the best performer at that eurovision. I have no idea why she did not win. I mean Jade was amazing, but Malena was stellar!!! Bravo from Russia
One of the rare ESC songs where live version is almost better than studio version. Anyway liked the song back then in 2009 and still like it now 6 years later.
Единственная истинная победительница во всех Евровидениях! Посмотрите как она поёт, с легкостью и радостью, не напрягаюсь изо всех сил чтобы взять ноту выше!
I was a bit doubting to this in the beginning, but as they've been playing this song on the radio, I've fallen more and more in love with it. It stands out because of the opera and techno combination, and her looks are just amazing! I don't understand why so many people are asking if she's male! If men can have light voices, women can certainly have dark. And she has both!
Seriously, she has the most amazing voice and also the most original tune in this competition! I do hope the people that´s voting understands her pure talent! If u got taste in music - vote for her!!
I like this song Malena Ernman. Excellent presence and wonderful voice. Eu gosto desta canção e da Malena Ernman. Excelente presença e maravilhosa voz.
To the people that say she sounds like a man is because she is an opera singer. One of our best here in Sweden and you should know that's it's not that easy for opera singers to sing "normal", like in pop songs. I remember when she won and she is amazing, and sings really good in pop songs for being an opera singer.
No offense, but the people who think she sounds like a man are idiots. She's clearly got a voice that's almost unparalleled by anyone else on this planet. She genuinely sounds AMAZING!!!
I love her combination of the low voice and then the high chorus! It's my favorite entry this year (Followed closely by Malta). I'm excited for this year... Many countries have started to take Eurovision seriously and sent decent songs, and this should be the best year yet! Good luck to Sweden and all other participants this year.
@@Crustis her voice sounded weird in all the higher registers to me. lower it was uniform pure timbre and pitch, but at the higher pitches the vibrato was uneven and she either has a weird wobble or they are auto tuning this. which with the level of voice manipulation on other vocal tracks, i find it hard to believe hers would be totally pure. Which really calls into question how much of this was actually her imo
It's like 90's art deco but also in the year 3000. She stood out completely from that years Melodifestivalen - she looked established and confident. A brilliant performance.
I love this song =) Sweden always send such a good song, but this year it was so hard to tell in Melodifestivalen who was the best, because Mans and Alcazar were also so good .. I hope Malena does well for Sweden this year =)
I love this song, and I ear it endless times!!! I don't intend to be better than no one, but let's face the truth, you have to be educated and cultivated, to learn to recognize the excellence when you ear it. Just the people with a sophisticated taste, fully appreciates this beautiful and unique interpretation, who tries to establish a bridge between classical and pop music. Malena's interpretion in this song, is for me "just" the best ever in the Eurovision contest history.
i dont know who she is, this is the very first time i've come across this artits, i am from mexico, and I can only state "this woman's voice is amazing" it only confirms me that Swedish people are so talented. I thank you Sweden for this girl, the knife/fever ray, iamamiwhoami, moby and the rest
First Greta makes you think. Then out of sheer curiosity and amazement you must know what human was responsible for such a creation. Sooooo here I am and now I like an opera song!!!
You Have No Idea How Much I Was Screaming At The Television For Sweden To Win. I Only Watch Eurovision To See If There Are Any Heavy Rock Or Gothic Groups And Malena Really Amazed Me. I Absoloutly Love Her Now. SOOOOO Much x
Funny how this is the only Eurovision song I regularly come back to listen to, and people are still coming here to listen to it 18 months later. This is clearly the best Eurovision entry for a very long time, but unfortunately a lot of people don't appreciate the operatic style, and for that we can blame the crappy pop obsessed media. Her mad expressions together with the coloratura at 2:27 are excellent, reminiscent of the Queen of The Night from Mozart's 'The Magic Flute'.
Just because heros som dosent make that song better 2009 poeple didnt like these types of songs but i love this song and think that this deserved to WIN !
...Singing across three octaves in perfect control of your voice IS special. A professional soprano is only expected to sing two octaves (C4-C6) to make a good living. For comparison - Hayley Westenra (NZ soprano) can sing F3#-D6, so slightly less range. And I expect that Malena can manage more, seeing as she was in perfect control of her pitch throughout.
David Lang It’s more about this woman and Sweden using her daughters illness for personal gain. Teaching a child she has no future because of climate change.Greta needs school and a therapist not traveling the world to cry and shout at the wrong people. This and other things cause Sweden to seem outrageous.
Taco June bug you and eviken1982 are both ignorant. Judging a whole country because you disagree with the supposed actions of one woman! And frame it in conspiratorial terms as if it was a kind of secret society with a diabolical agenda! That’s just crazy! And you clearly don’t think that climate change is a real. Instead of recognizing the inertia of men in power to lead in addressing this huge problem you admonish the heroic action of a child who not only understand the science but also the workings of society to direct her voice at those who are supposed to know better to actually do something about this alarming existential crisis - that the window of opportunity is rapidly closing. Nope. You guys come up with some crazy moralistic point of view like a couple of haughty society ladies who disagree with the gauche behavior of the lower classes. Get smart. Read some real science. The looming crisis is going to mess up your life in ways you can’t even begin to imagine given your gross ignorance. You’ll wonder why you didn’t appreciate the dire warnings of a 16 year old girl’s call to action when we could have made a difference. Instead you’ll be fighting each other over the last can of tuna. And don’t expect me to help you get into the lifeboat as the rising waters lap around your neck. You’re on your own then buddy! You septics will just be extra baggage!
For 50 yrs I havnt watched it because they all sound the same ,rewardrd on the glitz rather than the voice ,What a beutiful presntation ,SHOULD HAVE WON
She has a great voice and very charm. Anyway she is sucessful. Lyrics is beautiful. (SP) Increiblemente encantadora para quien la escucha por primera vez.
since this first came out, time and time again, i keep coming back to this song.. there is something hauntingly beautiful about this song. It`s a classic!
She might not be the youngest contestant, but has a beautiful strong voice, and the song is classy and melodic. Plus on a personal note, she is a beautiful woman. Pervert american audience may no need to comment anymore.
My favourite song from this year's Eurovision, liked how the floaty choreograghy matched the dreamy quality of the song. Very hard to mix the pop and opera styles in a live performance - I think she did very well in this performance.

Still one of my all time favorites. Bravo Sweden .
I love Eurovision - I will miss it this year.
Mrs. Ernman had the best and perfect voice in ESC 2009. Great performance I think.
The whole white-light effect was so much better in the Swedish finals. She was wearing a white dress and was almost invisible. It was friggin' awesome.
I were there and saw it live and she was amazing. We really sent the right person that year 🙂
This version is much better than the one in Eurovision, she sounds much more relaxed here
exactly, she did not think she stood a chance here...
@@ImStevan 2:14 did really well to smile and keep perfect pitch hey 😉
@@ImStevan I can't hear a difference is not a question ....😜
Because they've picked and chose from multiple performances, and probably from the studio recording as well.
Why people keep saying she. No female here
This is a seriously highly polished piece of performance - outstanding in many ways - a fusion of dance, classical and musical theatre - it really really works! And, what an outstanding performance - utter precision, control and enjoyment! Classical trained singer, possibly experimenting in this style - it works - more please!
it's 2018, still love this song! I've had it on repeat for like 30 minutes now :D She's got the voice of an angel!
Same here! (in 2019)
Did ya know that Greta Thunberg is her daughter?!
No other singer can sing this song as beautiful as Malena!! Wonderful performance!
Some random band covered this song on Spotify recently and I had to look up the original. Haven't heard this song in YEARS. STILL JUST AS GOOD
Hi, I'm from Israel and I steel listen to this great song!! It sticks and from the moment I've heard it I couldn't stop.
Lots Of Love ❤️
***** Nice! I wonder still why it didnt win!
Tobias Ohlsson because alexander rybak won and hes the best
I'm from Sweden 😀
me too

Best song ever in Eurovision song contest
The one time Sweden wasn´t overrated and they actually deserved top 10, this was one of my favorites that year.
greta thunberg is her daughter lol

Bjornt but she came 21st

One of my best songs ever.... she is unbelievable
I can't remember off hand what won Eurovision this year but this was a truly STUNNINGLY performance.

Sof Dan ja verkligen!
I wonder what "opera singer" is. I'd say qulity of the voice like soprano and alt. Opera is the scene/location.
No offense, but the people who think she sounds like a man are idiots. She's clearly got a voice that's almost unparalleled by anyone else on this planet.
She genuinely sounds AMAZING!!!
**_** one of the bests of Sweden. unfortunately, they got just so low score :'(
I atually think it was her facial showing in Norway :p
6 years later, i like this hit still as first day, bravo !
+Patrick Finet Oui, celle du succès.
I guess she won more than a first place... this is classic now :)

Good luck to Sweden and all other participants this year.
Totally great voice. Her other impressions and fun Opera type of songs is also great!
definitely my favorite song in the contest :D
After 5 years seeing Eurovision, this is my favorite Song from Sweden.
Older artist can better. Young boys cant sing
Happy 10 years
That's my favorite since the last 10 years
No Loreen’s Euphoria was the best. Or ABBA’s Waterloo.
Can’t make up my mind since those songs are so completely different. But sooo good. Still.
Malena Erman ist einmalig und sie versteht es aus der Tiefe ganz hoch zu singen
Wunderbar !
Probably the most skilled singer to be part of that contest in ages.
Shes literally SOOOOO GOOOD. but that score. 4th or 5th in semi final - 21st in grand final.
MeowMix For Cats strange
Yeah, and this year the same thing, Gabriela Gun was brilliant, but she was 25th I guess..
Semifinals were still 100% televoting then and Malena came 15th on televote in grand final.
She definitely deserved a better higher placing!!!! She's amazing 🤩
Totally agree
@@Crustis her voice sounded weird in all the higher registers to me. lower it was uniform pure timbre and pitch, but at the higher pitches the vibrato was uneven and she either has a weird wobble or they are auto tuning this. which with the level of voice manipulation on other vocal tracks, i find it hard to believe hers would be totally pure.

she basically took revenge on the world anyway with her birthing powers.
After 4 years I am still listening to this beautiful song!!! Love it so much!
Still listening?
how much CO2 were produce during this show ? :D
Mello have been very enverioment friendly... Search the balloons controversy
She quit her carrier for Greta ;)
🤣
Forget about that, how much noise pollution she is spreading. Her voice is terrible for our ears.
More than Andrew Tate’s cars
Dios mio, no puedo dejar esta canción, es tan asombrosa!
Me encanta la voz que tiene y el sentimiento con que canta, simplemente hermoso!
Pensé que este tema habia ganado en Eurovisión o no?
canta muy bien?? did i say right
salime rashid quedó en el puesto 21
Macaracha Euryton yes
@@macarachaeuryton9002 yes, you actually spelt it better than when I try to translate my "pro" skills.
This woman is amazing. Love her and the song! Fabulous!
Gosh, this was epic! I am still listening to it! Swedish must be proud of her!
Andrei091989 acualy I don't know if many swedes likes her still.. the most likes other stuff now but I think someone still thinks she's good....
We are & we do!
shes okay i guess, swede here btw

When the dancers pick the mask like objects up and then begin to dance, I feel the existence of a very different kind of art. It is fantastic :)

I think she's sensational and I'd never heard of her until I watched Eurovision this year.
She definitely deserved a higher placing!
Did you know her register counts four octaves? Sometimes I get really jealous... XD
You're so right :)
Sad she placed so low, I was hoping for Top 3!
Sie hätte gewinnen müssen mit dieser wunderschönen stimme!
Sie ist wundervoll!

The national election is in Sweden bigger than Eurovision itself and its the most watched show here. Almost half of the population watch it every year
not this year and 2016
Its time to win 2019 or 2020.
vivat Sweden! from Estonia!
Прекрасная композиция и исполнение, жаль, что она не стала первой в Москве в 2009 году...
She has a pure and fantastic voice.
She looks like an Angel.
Love Malena from Turkey.
After 7 months this song is still great!!!!!!!!!!
She has one of the most powerful voice range on the planet! This song is like Abba meets oprea! Maleena is just amazing!!!
Still better than Heroes
Hidden in the Shadows Alright. Why didn't we (Sweden) won?
Just because heros som dosent make that song better 2009 poeple didnt like these types of songs but i love this song and think that this deserved to WIN !
Won
Almost every Swedish entry is better than Heroes
the only song i remember from all those numerous contests
You cannot feel blue when you listen to this song. It is always nice to hear songs like this one.
Actually it sounds depressing
einfach ein toller Song
Great voice! Great performance! In my eyes the absolute winner!
What a pitty she didn't win. Was a wonderful perfomance... too much profesional and high quality for this contest...
iw nta
Armizael so true
My poor ears!
I'm calling fraud 😉 2:14 smile during singing...never wavered one note
She did it wonderfully! A show with class and style!
This is what I call art, ladies and gentlemen.
Fart??? I agree completely...bravo!!
Creepy creepy illuminati art yes
This has to be one of the best songs of ESC the past 20 years. A masterpiece.
I don't see why people don't like it... I think this song is amazing~
F3-D6. That is almost 3 octaves. Easy.
