Public almost gave Nanne double as many votes as this but the tasteless juries gave this the win with 3 points, really? This almost came 3rd in the televote only beat 3rd place by about 3000 votes.
Remember the reaction this got the days after contest, months even. Sweden never got this low of a place since the 90s. Stenmarck even publicly apologized for the low score and we all thought people wouldnt vote for oss ever again! Oh if we knew how bad it would get...
Martin performed better in Sweden than in the final of ESC. And it is right, was juries' fault that the real fave Nanne was avoided. So no wonder that Las Vegas also failed by televoting in the ESC final.
Don't get why this song is so hated. Yeah, it didn't do very well in the Eurovision but it's still a good song and worthy winner of Melodifestivalen in my eyes
This is cheesy fun but the staging, outfit and “hair” let it down. Sure, he’s not vocally great here but this entry is far better than those Steps clones Sweden sent (Friends and Fame) or that awful You...
This was painful to watch. He couldn't sing properly that night, his voice had never sounded so strained (he can actually sing, this guy, under normal circumstances). Unlucky, I guess. Plus nobody cares about Las Vegas in Europe.
This is HORRIBLE. Nanne Grönvall should've been performing there with "Håll om mig" (she won the televote in Melodifestivalen 2005, but the juries sent this mess)
Not Sweden's best, but better than the trashy pop they've sent almost every year since 2011 without fail. 2014 and 2016 weren't bad, but for the rest...
How can a song about Las Vegas lights be THIS tame and uninteresting? It's not among the worst batch of 2005, but it's among the least inspiring ones for sure.
SVT: What happened to all our points between 2005 and 2010??
People: Uhhhh... Martin kind of gambled them away in Las Vegas..
lmfao
"Invincible" was invincible against Las Vegas battle hehe (and "Hero" was superunderrated, my winner actually)
Haha I laughed so much
Ha ha ha
I still remember Martin stenmarc and loved his performance! He deserved higher place. Sooo 00s vibe
He did, as a swede, being 9 at the time, felt so cool.
Still in love with this
So the juries picked this to represented them over nanne grönval????
At that time, the jury was Swedish cities. But if it had been European countries as it is now, I think Sweden would have sent someone else in 2005.
Back in the days, when Sweden and Russia ended up at the RIGHT hand side of the scoreboard... xD
Ukraine too
@@aleksanderpagels288 Until this year for Sweden.
Now russia isn't even on the scoreboard at all
@@struttux5156 да только теперь у России ещё+одна страна.
My 12 points of that year and still listening to it.
This is my favourite Swedish entry of this century ❤ My 2nd place
The IKEA-Crew at the end killed it.
Perfect confident singing and the song arrangement is so awesome. 10/10
Lena Philipsson and Martin Stenmarck! My favorite artists in Istanbul and Kiev! I love them!
Just here because a hockey team based in the city mentioned in this song won the championship.
Fun fact: He is the swedish voice of Atreju in The NeverEnding Story, Lightning McQueen and Spirit (he also singing all songs in Spirit)
We have 2019 right now and this is the best Swedish entry in this millennium so far...
2007 was good tho
My favorite is Popular from 2011.
@@thesnesgeek I love that one as well!
@@kirschcali Yes, one more. Popular is considered to be less popular in recent times.
@@thesnesgeek Really? I still think many people enjoy it, although it's kinda standing in the shadow of "Euphoria" the year after.
The singer looks like Eric Saade in Eurovision 2011 in Germany
PJK 13 omg yes
P K yes it kinda look like him.
lol exactly what I was thinking
This one is actually more soulful than the last four Swedish songs gathered
Absolutely fantastic! ---- Excellent --- BEST
No conocía esta canción. Buena interpretación Martin.
Public almost gave Nanne double as many votes as this but the tasteless juries gave this the win with 3 points, really?
This almost came 3rd in the televote only beat 3rd place by about 3000 votes.
Anyone here in 2021 lol
SWEDEN?! IS THAT YOU?!
San Francisco, Las Vegas...singing about a US-City has never been successful at a EUROvision Song Contest :-)
bluemenbluehn I know right?
Rockefeller Street also...not a city but still xD
Eurovision does not like america
Hi from the future now theres a thing called Americavission I think that's how it's spelled 😊👍

I voted for this song in 2005.
Me watching this now in Las Vegas 🥲
That would be a nice soundtrack of a movie about Las Vegas... But singing about an imaginary song about a Us City in Eurovision seems silly to me.
Aunque quizá no obtuvo el éxito esperado como la mayoría de las canciones suecas en el festival,fue una buena actuación como todas las de este país.
Восхитительно, зажигательно, красиво....просто БРАВО!
its pretty nice despite all the blames. I am still loving it in 2022. Much better than most of the recent winners/ 2nd / 3rd.
Bästa låten
Fräcka byxor men Nanne var fortfarande bättre
@@nathaliemartinez6370 ja.
Well when I go to Las Vegas I definitely won't be listening to this.
good song! very upbeat! should have finished in top 3! Marti is the Elvis of Sweden!!! this written joe finnegan dingle Eire february 26-2017
Spirit, is that you?
Yes
Should have been Nanne.
Well, I liked it, but not many other "non-Swedes" seemed to do.
I strangely like this one
Martin performed better in Sweden than in the final of ESC. And it is right, was juries' fault that the real fave Nanne was avoided. So no wonder that Las Vegas also failed by televoting in the ESC final.
Travolta's copy?
IMO, this is not our worst entry. it's at least catchy. Can't say the same about 2007 or 2010.
ps Nanne was not that much better.
Oh no he is back again and advanced to Andra Chansen!!!!
is it only me or does he look a bit like a young Tom Cruise
Sort of yes
I love this. It's amazing. But Sweden has sent better songs than this.
Don't get why this song is so hated. Yeah, it didn't do very well in the Eurovision but it's still a good song and worthy winner of Melodifestivalen in my eyes
Dude, 90’s kids at the time loved, it was about as cool as När vindarna viskar mitt namn.
En effet
?
This is cheesy fun but the staging, outfit and “hair” let it down. Sure, he’s not vocally great here but this entry is far better than those Steps clones Sweden sent (Friends and Fame) or that awful You...
Storytime:
I once named a rectangle after this song.
Wow
19-20 место
Sounds like he had some Voice problems!
i am the only one who kept thinking the blonde chick at the front was paris hilton?
Bra framträdande, tycker jag.
Nanne Wins for me. ❤
Fattar inte att denna vann över Nanne.
This was painful to watch. He couldn't sing properly that night, his voice had never sounded so strained (he can actually sing, this guy, under normal circumstances). Unlucky, I guess. Plus nobody cares about Las Vegas in Europe.
This wasn't painful at all
As an American its funny to see Europes opinion of Vegas while almost everybody here views it as one of our worst cities
That’s Sweden for ya
This is HORRIBLE. Nanne Grönvall should've been performing there with "Håll om mig" (she won the televote in Melodifestivalen 2005, but the juries sent this mess)
yes complaing like 11 years later
George Austin Tay ur some years to late..........
Ha! it happened this year again with Robin Bengtsson. he lost the televote.
And Bengtsson even looks similar to Martin circa 2005, a faceless generic male pop singer.
or Alcazar should have won .......🎶🎶 welcome to my galaxy ❤
I think he was sick...if so that is the reason he came so low!
Gd Marmaro yes he had a flu
I love the song, but his voice his so off.
Look at this dude oh look at the top of his head
Hmmm ja som svensk vill jag glömma detta :/
Not Sweden's best, but better than the trashy pop they've sent almost every year since 2011 without fail. 2014 and 2016 weren't bad, but for the rest...

He'se singing realy bad!
Martin Stenmarck anses vara en av Sveriges bästa sångare
Jaja, men på videon så sjöng han väldigt konstigt.@@taklampan650
Maybe the worst song of Sweden since 2000 to today. I don'tknow what was the swedish people thinking...
The Swedes are not to blame. Nanne Grönvall won the televote, but the juries heavily voted for this instead.
Someone hasn't seen 2002...
LUIZ STS i think its good.
Worst song Sweden has sent.
Listen to the bassline🔥, so good😍
