I thought that the performance will be the only thing I like here but even that was slightly subpar. It looked messy and actually it was hillarious....and not in a good way. Even though it's directly copied from MGP, it was much more effective there.


The song itself is as bad as it gets and it's obvious that only his fandom did the job here. In general, he should be happy if he ends in top 10 as the song doesn't deserve it and neither does this performance.

If Rybak went with something like this he would win by a landslide.


Absolutely! This one and "Roll with the wind" for example are outstanding and both would've been contenders for victory but this is slightly disappointing and it only gets the attention because it's THE Rybak. Nothing more to add there.

Thank God in the end this fell pretty flat, it was and always will be a crappy song. As I always said, he totally deserved to win in 2009, he is showman that knows how to sell a performance, but even with that you shouldn't be able to succeed with just about anything.

Come back with a better entry next year neighbors.

He won 2nd semi-final but ended up 15th in the final! wow

The final was a moment of truth for the semifinalists of the second
