Мне было 7 лет, когда я гостила у дедушки в деревне. Там показывало всего лишь 2 канала. И вот он смотрел какой-то жутко скучный концерт. Я слонялась рядом, время тянулось медленно... И тут я услышала невероятно светлую мелодию, тот парень с экрана пел так добро, так дружелюбно. И как будто бы только для меня. Песня пролетела на одном дыхании. Это была любовь с первого аккорда! В этом году не юбилей, конечно, но ровно 24 года как я обожаю и смотрю Евровидение, где впервые увидела этих ребят. Дедушки уже нет рядом почти 10 лет. Но я всегда смотрю за нас двоих, а перед Евровидением освежаю свои впечатления. И начинаю именно с этой песни. Все творчество Brainstorm заслушано до дыр! Люблю самой искренней любовью❤❤❤❤
It was quite popular in Belgium, being in the charts for 13 weeks, and every now and then it's still being played on the radio. It's a great song, and I can't believe it's been 17 years.
.I'm from Belgium and this song is still in my top 3 (my numbers 1 and 2 are belgian songs ...lol (LOIC NOTTET and TOM DICE) When 'My Star' is played on the radio , my collegues say 'There's you're song'. This song Always makes me happy :)
When I told a friend (who is not an ESC nerd, like me) that this is my favourite ESC song, she said: "Oh, that's the only ESC winner that I really like!" I understand why she thought that this song won. It really should have.
thats Eurovision in a nutshell - you send an awesome song, no win. You send an ok catchy song with a show, preferably girl or guy dancing/undressing/sexy moves, boom, you win. Probably the only exception to that is the Serbian and Ukraine winners this decade, they were neither, and still won.
Да он как солнышко. Воспитание и счастливое детство наверное сыграло не последнюю роль. Он рассказывал что у них свой детский садик и мама там постоянно с ним.
Ja, vi alskar homom och dem i Letland. Deras konserter är fantastisk och jag går alltid. De är inte så ung nu, men de kan springer, hoppar och sjunger som i det här video. Förlåt för dålig svenska, jag ar från Letland.
Как же я тогда за них болела - на мой вкус они были тогда самые самые...!!! 20 лет прошло, а это выступление до сих пор помню. Супер!!! Ну и Ренарс красавчик, разумеется!!!
This song should have won that year. What an amazing happy tune. Amazing performance. I always think this performance and Belgium 2015, were the best songs of the entire contest that never won but should have!
Can still not understand why this song did not win back then. Bought their cd which has a number of good songs.There exists also a Latvian version of this (Prata Vetra - Issavienojums)
my dad loves this song, it is maybe he's favorite eurovision song of all time and he was so upset that this didn't win... I get teary-eyed when I listen to this.
We need to bring back music like this to Eurovision! This is the best music on Earth! It's been more than frkn 20 years, it's about time for this genre to have it's rebirth at ESC! If you ever hear a song like this in the National Selection of your country, please vote for it!
This is the only Eurovision song I can sing to you 17 years later. Loved it, and re-played it to death! And what a performance! I'll have what he's having...
My first encounter with this band. Year later they had international hit Maybe. Biggest band in Latvia now, probably ever. A pity they didn't win in that contest.
To this day, this gem remains as my first ever Eurovision winner since I began watching this contest and forever my favorite Latvian entry of all time. ❤
My friends gonna call me: hey dreamer The stars you are watching are so far Tonight I know I will get there By plane or by bus - right to my star Pretend there are things you just don't know In spite someone's told you are so cute You have to ask and I will show The snow in the summer or so, so If my star would fall Or disappear at all I will follow my star till the end of my days, And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways, And if you gonna join me I'll be your guide, Baby, 'never say never', be my 'Runaway bride' My friends gonna tell me: just calm down The clouds you are walking are so high This is my chance, and I'll invite All the dreamers and lovers to fly (fly).

I bought the eurovision cd in 2000, and this song was my favourite! I was 11 and I had it on repeat on my cd-player, I listened to it while i was going on mountain hiking. My family thought it was a bit strange to listen to eurovision songs on mountain hiking, but it was so precious; One of my best childhood memories! And one of the best eurovision songs ever!!
Every year on the day of the Eurovision final, there is a top 50 on the national radio and this song is still 3rd in Belgium! Great song, my 2000 winner and 4th overall!
Längesen men vad jag älskar denna låt och detta band ! Blir fortfarande så ...lycklig ! när jag hör och ser dessa så levande killar med sin spelglädje .
При всём уважении к датчанам, их песня не была так хороша, как эта. И да, это был первый раз, когда я услышал впервые brainstorm и понял, что эта группа мне очень даже по вкусу. Уже как 20 лет
Это PRATA VĒTRA, так настоящее название группы, с латышского сила бури приблизительно. В РФ они с другим названием. Замечательная группа, мирового уровня концерты и не русофобы. Много сотрудничают с росс артистами и тд.
I love this so much! :) Still listening 16 years later. It is such an ordinary pop song (in the best way), with homage to the 60s/70s a lil bit. A well deserved third place for Latvia's first time of competing!
True that music back those days was a lot more lovely. These days it feels like everyone’s trying to beat others with a lot of vulgarity and songs about nothing (that’s the best case). Also, I’ve heard a version that after these guys got on ESC stage, everyone started to take this contest seriously. Like, there’s a band from a post-soviet country noone takes seriously and simply grabs 3rd place! Also, talking about exactly the stage, exactly Latvians were the ones who got stage design to a whole new level. It was a start to what we see now. Since 2003. Great job, BrainStorm guys & Latvians! And, Latvia, it’s your birthday today. So, happy birthday, you’re amazing! ♥️🇱🇻
Hey! 24 years already???? I love this so much still. Much love from Estonia❤❤ Anyone here with me on July 1st 2024?😂 Estonia won once, 2001, on my mum's birthday :)
For a long time i thought he was singing "tonight i know i will get third" (instead of "tonight i know i will get there") and i was baffled on how he could predict that he would actually end up 3rd. xD
ну вот! это действиттельно спел от души, не парился что Евро, да пусть они там тырсятся вместе с Биланом, просто кайфово исполнил Лёгкую приятную песню, спасибо чувак, держись за своё, и клади на хиты-поп то, что на них (на попы) обычно ложать)))) Честно- если бы на этом дырявом конкурсе все делали бы хоть чуток как это группа - культура воскресла бы! Делайте красиво, (по яйцам - чтоб из глаз полезли!)))))) и главное , не останавливайтесь не тормозите ну или как там у вас в Латышии принято!!!!

I'm 15 now, so i was to young to watch eurovision, so i didn't know about Latvia's song. Anyway, i've been listening to it for 3 years and it has created great feelings to me. I've just discovered that it is a Eurovision song.
Really good song, great performance. One of things that stands out is how the singer is always looking to see which camera is ‘on’ him, then he turns to face it - it’s a tricky thing to accomplish well in a live multi-camera set-up (a lot of other Eurovision entrants don’t even bother), especially when the editor switches quickly from one camera to another and he’s trying to concentrate on singing as well! But it really makes it feel as if he’s singing to us, the TV audience, and the eye-contact gives the whole performance a very intimate feel. Superb.
It's not like they haven't rehearsed it and the production is completely random. But sure enough, his eyes nearly suck you into the monitor when he's singing.
It's been 23 years and I'm still not over this. One of the best songs from the eurovision ever.
Eurovision 00 was one of the best ever. Last one before the new world, and before all the moronic politics.
I totally agree. He shoul'd have won. I have seen them a few weeks later at a summer festival in Stockholm.
I did so as well, think it was in Kungsträdgården@@henkp4192
Now it's been 24 years, but I feel the same - one of the best Eurovision songs ever.
24 years and still...
can you imagine how proud we - latvians - are of this performance? 😎
I love this guy, he is not taking it too seriously and is just having fun.
I guess thats what happens when singing is just totally your passion, and when you just *feel* it

@@voloshanca This maybe isn't their typical style, usually they are more if not pop then like a rock band, something like Coldplay
Brainstorm has raised 2 generations of latvian children, truly an amazing band and something we can be super proud of
Definitely, Latvia's best song as far as I'm concerned. I was little when this one played and I thought it was magical, still do!
It should have won!!! It was so loveable and sweet and charming and a genuinely fantastic song, I still listen to it frequently decades on
me too. It's great:)

That was my personal winner that year. Such a catchy song and cute singer.

if this song were in eurovision today it would win
I don't think it would even qualify... because by today's standards, it's not "flashy" and "cool". :(
It would finish last :v
This song makes me so happy, but let's be realistic
It wouldn't even be close to the top 10 :/
But it's such an amazing song tho

Tonight I know I will get there
By plane or by bus - right to my star
Pretend there are things you just don't know
In spite someone's told you are so cute
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so
If my star would fall
Or disappear at all
I will follow my star till the end of my days,
And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways,
And if you gonna join me I'll be your guide,
Baby, 'never say never', be my 'Runaway bride'
My friends gonna tell me: just calm down
The clouds you are walking are so high
This is my chance, and I'll invite
All the dreamers and lovers to fly (fly).
I'm back from the future, life goes on,
But still I remember my promise
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so
If my star would fall
Or disappear at all
I will follow my star till the end of my days,
And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways,
And if you gonna join me I'll be your guide,

God, I miss Eurovision of those years. No politics, better songs.
"No politics, better songs." Yaaaaas, those are the magic words.
Tatiana Akçay so much politics, so many crap songs
I appreciate Portugal as the winner this year. Gives me a vibe of the old. Hopefully it starts becoming a trend.
Eurovision was really crappy in that year song - wise.
Tatiana Akçay Watch Israel the same year. No politics? Good song?
He's got a constant smile on his face. So fun to see, this song and performance is so fun.
One of the best Eurovision songs ever ❤
Yep, I heard it live this year and it is still fantastic.
Every year on the day of the Eurovision final, there is a top 50 on the national radio and this song is still 3rd in Belgium! Great song, my 2000 winner and 4th overall!
I voted for this - a sweet little song performed with warmth and joy, unlike most of the miserable ballads that made up most of the competition.
Simply the best ESC- performance ever. And the song is totally OK.
by far the best song to ever compete in eurovision (in my opinion)
It's remarkable how in just three years Latvia made everyone think they would be an ESC powerhouse 🥲
Still a star 🌟 love this song ❤
I remember my dad singing this and other brainstorm songs when i was a kid, it's a total banger😂, love from lt❤

He's also an actor, so he's used to several cameras, I would think 😄
It's not like they haven't rehearsed it and the production is completely random. But sure enough, his eyes nearly suck you into the monitor when he's singing.
Renārs is an exceptional performer. 20 years later he can still command massive crowds with his charisma and energy.
Criminally underrated
a perfect song for dreaming!! Greetings from Lithuania!!
The best of the year without doubt. I loved!
Their very first entry couldn't have been better. So happy and so lovely! A deserved third place and one of the best latvian entries ever.
