I'm not Danish, so correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I feel that he was terribly underappreciated in his lifetime and Denmark didn't realise this until he passed. I heard that he got absolutely trashed in the media after the 1993 contest. Yes he was somewhat cheesy and dated, but was clearly a talented writer and performer. If he'd lived, I could see him still as a working artist with iconic status.
he was ridiculed after the international results. It had some wrong production features on the offbeat on that particular song that made it very annoying in parts, which was a terrible mistake. But I doubt that he himself totally made sure of that sound design. Besides that, he was massively underappreciated. He's left a legacy so priceless to be honest.
As the others have already mentioned: He was. Try and keep these things in mind: He build most of his career around participating in the danish melodi grandprix. From the 70’s to the 80’s you could be fairly sure he would be represented either as an artist or as a songwriter. Around 1990 he submitted “Under Stjernerne på himlen” but was denied several years in a row because he was considered old school/people were getting a bit tired of him. He then managed to get selected for 93 (I can’t remember how/why, but it seems to be a last minute addition). Against the odds he won, and got to Eurovision. Around that time, due to the number of countries represented in the contest, they had a rule that made it so the lowest ranking countries would be banned/skipped for one year. Since Tommy got few/no points, Denmark was out in 94. And people got mad! I can’t say why, but people put sole blame on him, and it likely didn’t help that everyone knew who he was. I know of another contestant that also got Denmark banned for a year (can’t remember when) but they got comparatively little to no rage compared to Tommy. On a personal note, I find it infuriating that people were so mad at Tommy. “Don’t blame him, you were the people that voted for him to represent us in the first place!” Is my general train of thought.
@@rasmusthunberg8967 Sorry to say it men Tommy var sgu et langt stykke hen ad vejen også selv ansvarlig for sin deroute. For det første: Man kan ikke forvente, at en specifik musikgenre forbliver uændret populær over mange, mange årtier. Der er mange andre kunstnere, som IKKE kunne forstå at forny sig, som derfor måtte se deres popularitet falde. Det er en del af gamet, og hvis ikke man kan klare det, så er det bare ikke den branche man skal være i. Det er helt naturligt, at ESC over årene har gennemgået en udvikling. Du fortier også ganske fint, at Tommys alkoholproblemer blev et større og større problem - og det var der ingen andre end Tommy selv ansvarlig for. Nedenstående er taget fra en DR-artikel: *_"Men sagen var, at Danmarks Radio var blevet betænkelig ved at benytte sig af Tommy Seebach, der ellers havde præget Melodi Grand Prixet gennem årene med to førstepladser og en andenplads. Tommys alkohol-misbrug var gået op for DR-ledelsen, da han skulle deltage i et OBS 89-show fra Herning med Annette Heick, som han havde lavet hittet 'Du Skælder Mig Hele Tiden Ud' sammen med. Aftenen forinden havde Seebach igen drukket sig tordnende beruset og var først kommet i seng 'langt ud på de små timer', som Per Kaae fortæller det. Næste aften, da programmet skulle sendes live fra Herning-Hallerne, var Tommy ingen steder at finde. - Uret viste, at der kun var to minutter tilbage af TV-Avisen, og vi skulle direkte på bagefter. Jeg aftalte hurtigt med trommeslageren, at han måtte mime Tommys stemme. Det var jo den eneste måde, jeg kunne redde den på. Men ti sekunder før showet gik i gang, kom Tommy løbende ned gennem midtergangen og sprang op på scenen. Og så gav vi 'Du Skælder Mig Hele Tiden Ud', som om intet var hændt, fortæller Annette Heick. Faktisk var det Tommys gamle Sir Henry-ven, Ole Bredahl, der fem minutter forinden havde vækket ham på hotellet og fået ham fragtet til hallerne i sidste sekund i en taxa. Oplevelsen gik naturligvis ikke upåagtet hen over hovedet på DR-ledelsen, der sendte Tommy et brev om det uacceptable i hans opførsel, og resultatet var, at han - af frygt for nye skandaler på direkte tv - fik sit Grand Prixnummer afvist."_*
What a talented singer and musician Tommy was, loved his songs and not Danish, but learnt Danish so i could understand his work, taken far to early. Rest is Peace Tommy
I only know a little Danish so I'm gonna say this in English: I know of Tommy because I am a huge fan of Rasmus and this video made me cry so much. I'm glad he's getting recognition he deserves. Tommy du er fantastisk, jeg elsker dig ❤
Man kan sige meget men hvis det skulle være helt rørende og så personligt som overhovedet muligt så var det alle børn der sgu have sluttet den af sammen til ære for deres far men er stadig sikker på at uanset hvordan den er fremført så er han rørt ligemeget hvad for at nogen huskede han og hans musik

You are very correct Sir 🙂

jeg er en stor tommy seebach fan fra tyskland
Kim Larsen og Tommy uden tvivl de største. Savner dem begge
han fortjente mere end det de gav ham han var en af de størest vi havede
i know I'm quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Tommy Samson I watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Yahir Noah definitely, have been using flixzone for since april myself :)
@Yahir Noah thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!
@Tommy Samson happy to help :D
han vil ALTID være Den Bedste Og Gud Hvor Jeg Savner Ham " SNØFT " Tuder Stadigvæk over hans Sange!
Den bedste komponist vi har haft i danmark.
Fatter stadig ikke at den sang ikke vandt......den var/er jo perfekt ♥
Ja det kan jo kun undres over. Nok en af de bedste sange der er overhovedet er blevet sendt til konkurrencen.
Han " Lånte " lidt fra Rolling Stones sangen " Paint It Black "...........men det er stadigvæk en kanon sang.
Tommy lånte ikke fra Paint it black fra The Rolling Stones eller fra nogen anden sang. Prøv lige og hør og sammenlign den med Under stjernerne på"…….
Smuk hyldest. Tommy
kunne være fyldt 70 i år 2019
De Erste de Beste van Denemarkeen :-) Love this song danku Bedanku Seebach.
Een af Danmark BEDSTE-STE komponister og sangere. FANTASTISKE sange der bevæger og skaber hygge !!
Og nu er de lige blevet færdige med at filme optagelserne til filmen om Tommy med Anders Matthesen i hovedrollen 😊
Enig, han fortjente mere end han fik.
Ser den med våde øjne 😞❤️
Tommy var den bedste!!
I only know a little Danish so I'm gonna say this in English: I know of Tommy because I am a huge fan of Rasmus and this video made me cry so much. I'm glad he's getting recognition he deserves. Tommy du er fantastisk, jeg elsker dig ❤
Rasmus basically salvaged the family name, and restored people’s respect for his father’s legacy. That ain’t no small feat.
What a wonderful song and performance! Mange tak!
Tommy + Dario = Legender 🔥💪
RIP 1993 2020 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Respect... han var sku bare utrolig god til det der musik......
Simpelthen fantastisk, fantastisk simpelthen RIP Tommy!
Han er savnet❤
Man kan sige meget men hvis det skulle være helt rørende og så personligt som overhovedet muligt så var det alle børn der sgu have sluttet den af sammen til ære for deres far men er stadig sikker på at uanset hvordan den er fremført så er han rørt ligemeget hvad for at nogen huskede han og hans musik
En særdeles vakker sang som ble bortdømt på det mest skammelige vis i 1993, på samme måte som Estland året etter.
Han har også været med i hit med sangen
Tommy blev ofte undervurderet. I
Dag er hverken Tommy eller Dario Campeotto blandt os🥲. Musikken lever stadig
