I am shocked at how close the two versions sound. Jenny Silver did it herself - and it took five from STEPS to recreate it. They are both good - surprised this never went very far internationally.
Eurovision is all about the country you represent rather than what you sing. If your country is popular and especially with your neighbours, you get votes. That is why a song with a good melody like this would get nowhere
Jenny the best at this competition. A magnificent song, the fine singer, and the beautiful woman. If The swedes would choose her, I would vote for her many times and would like a victory for her, because she - the best. But they have taken away from themselves a victory... How it could be made? I don't understand... (Sorry for my English)
@Zebbrox Jenny was good enough to win the Melodifestivalen (and the Eurovision Song Contest). And here there are questions to the system of the contest and vote. Sometimes a lot of good songs fall into one preliminary round, and they can not all reach the final.
I love...is really amazing :O Popular are great, I vote for Sweden this year, but this song is emotional! (from spain) Had to be in the final of Melodifestivalen!
Idags ABBA- Love this song. Även i Finland... Love you! Best for you Jenny! You are Suber .)) Best wishes all you swedish människorna som tycker om eurovision låterna!
Upphotad ABBA-låt. Älskar denna. Denna hade garaterat gått långt i ESC. Det är denna typ av låtar som slår. Jag tror inte någon av de som är i finalen kommer slå i ESC, tyvärr. Vi har röstat bort de bästa låtarna redan. Många av dem i finalen kommer gå bra här i Sverigen men inte i Europa.
Something is in this song :) I really like it! so 100 times better than girl with 'sheep-voice' from last year. Go go go Sweden! just give her a last chance!
Har kikat lite runt på utländska kommenrtarer på årets svenska festivallåtar. Denna tycks få minst negativa omdömen av dem alla. Verkar som de flesta därute i europa gillar denna låt.
@gnom1947 Popular is a typical Fredrik Kempe "song", half a sentance of lyrics and enough music to follow that, then looped enough times to reach the 3 min requirement. He had 2-3 "songs" in each part of the competition. To say that Saade won because of his great song is to lie blatantly, to say that he won due to his singing skills and/or talent is almost as bad a lie. He's pretty and they've given him a good show. Most importantly he's popular with the young girls who vote a lot.
@ros6830 Unfortunately she didn't win. I didn't watch one single show myself, so can't say much except that we're sending Eric Saade with the song "Popular".
@AmyLilies It's very simple. Legs are nice, but not very long. What is the solution? Short dress or skirt and shoes at very high heels. Ordinary shoes with such high heels are not suitable for dynamic performance. Was selected this option shoes simply do not accidentally fall off (and even in these shoes during a speech at the second chance Jenny stumbled ..). But maybe the average height of boots would look better ......
@Throku Good show - it is important; good song, good singer, good performance - no. Female teenagers determine the outcome of the contest. And what will happen next?
@TheAnimalZoe Jo, håller med. Jag minns att jag var så förvånad att G-son hade gjort en ok låt, men det är ju för att man kan ifrågasätta om han faktiskt har gjort den eller bara samplat olika ABBA-låtar och satt ihop dem.
Fattar inte hur den kunde missa finalen direkt. Enligt mig en klockren schlager.... kanske det som är problemet - att det låter lite för mycket 90-tal. Men diggar den hursom! Kan den bli den första från andra chansen att vinna allt? Den växer ju efter några lyssningar i alla fall...
@foreverAnnaa Haha,jo visst han han gav oss en tredje plats vilket var grymt,men tycker inte att han förtjänade att gå vidare pga att alla gick efter utseende.Fjortisar som ringer 24/7 till hans nummer.Inse att det fanns många andra som hade haft en BÄTTRE chans att vinna och till och med kanske hamna på en bättre plats.Inget illa ment eller så men uttrycker mig bara efter mina åsikter.Peace Annaa
@mauritzization I'm Russian. But the Swedes think this song really bad music. At Melodifestivalen it was not included in the top 10 :(... Is this normal?
Steps brought me here, got really curious of the original version. This is as good as ever very reminiscent of ABBA.
This should have won the finals. I could imagine it doing well in Eurovision.
Absolutely! My all time fave Mello song. Steps would do a good version of this too IMO!
This song is going to be on Steps new album. Can’t wait to hear it in November.
Confirmed as their second single! Should hear it sooner 🤞
Steps need to borrow some of Jenny's dance moves!
It’s out now
It's out now and it is awesome! They also dropped a new video for it on their channel here.
I am shocked at how close the two versions sound. Jenny Silver did it herself - and it took five from STEPS to recreate it. They are both good - surprised this never went very far internationally.
I hope that now, with the Steps version, this song has the success that it worth. Wonderful, amazing, as any ABBA song.
The strength in depth of Sweden at Eurovision is crazy they are the Real Madrid of Eurovision
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This. Steps brought me here, but love this artist too.
I've heard it said that it's harder to win Melodifestivalen than Eurovision and this song proves it
Masterpiece honestly.
Eurovision is all about the country you represent rather than what you sing. If your country is popular and especially with your neighbours, you get votes. That is why a song with a good melody like this would get nowhere
This song should be in spotify!!! ❤️❤️❤️
it is in the U.K...not sure about other reigions
Still not on the US Spotify, but the Steps cover is!
Ikr? It isn't in Spotify Latin America
First time I heard this I thought it was a lost song by ABBA never released. I so can hear them sing this. Would have been a No. 1 hit!
this doesn't get old, it's an awesome bop
Veryy talented singer! This song appears to be a modern thing written by Benny & Björn from ABBA.
Go Jenny! Still love this song. ❤
Can´t believe this didn´t make it to the final, it´s a masterpiece...
Steps have covered this for their new album ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jenny the best at this competition. A magnificent song, the fine singer, and the beautiful woman. If The swedes would choose her, I would vote for her many times and would like a victory for her, because she - the best. But they have taken away from themselves a victory... How it could be made? I don't understand... (Sorry for my English)
This song should have won!!! It's great!!
Here's a big hug and lots of love from Germany! God, Jenny was just perfect! Congratulations Sweden, for such a great Melodienfestivalen! YOU ROCK!
I've been with her in Portugal and she is just the kindest person ever... I'm a fan now :D:D:D:D
This song is so wonderful, soooo Swedish, but so Fantastic!!
Many say that this is ABBA. My brother listened to this song and also said so. But maybe it's not ABBA, but simply very good music?
Den här hade tagit oss rakt i topp i Eurovision-finalen, och gjort alla öststater lyckliga!
Sweden, send this!!
It's the best song you have this year
bästa bortröstade låten sedan Michelagelo
The moment I knew Claire’s vocals were gonna hit this bop I knew this was going to be next level!
Jag älskar hennes namn, det låter så snällt elr något, Typ världens bästa artist namn
@Zebbrox

ABBA new Abba is born- THX Jenny. Love.
I love...is really amazing :O Popular are great, I vote for Sweden this year, but this song is emotional! (from spain) Had to be in the final of Melodifestivalen!
Det är klart den bästa låten i Melodifestivalen ska hamna i andra chansen :(
Har aldrig tänkt förut på att det är lite ABBA-style över den här sången, förrän jag läste kommentarer. Bra är den iaf. Eller kanske just därför.
Fattar fortfarande inte varför den här låten inte vann hela Festivalen! Klockren!!!
Bästa låten i melodifestivalen. Visst är det en modern ABBA-låt, men jag gillar ju ABBA :-)
Fantastic xoxo
For me personally, Eurovision song contest this year ended without beginning.
Thanks for posting, brilliant track
WOW !!!!!!!!!!
My 2nd favourite Melodifestivalen song this year =) Great song, great perfomance - and she looks just like me =L
the best song, this would have most chanse to win the eurovision. sometimes i dont know how sverige tänker!
WOW ***** Saludos y buena suerte Jenny, desde Chile.-
Fab song I really like this well done Jenny xx
i love the HD of this video!!!
Idags ABBA- Love this song. Även i Finland... Love you! Best for you Jenny! You are Suber .)) Best wishes all you swedish människorna som tycker om eurovision låterna!
Steps! I’ve only just discovered my fave Steps song is a cover!
So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🎼🎼🎼🎤🎤🎤🌹🌹🌹🤩🤩🤩
Det här låten är så bra!
Gilla om du hör på detta år 2012 :D
XD kanske innan också
men den är nice
ni kan också gilla om ni inte såg den 2012
XD
heja jenny silver
This is so ABBA.
Upphotad ABBA-låt. Älskar denna. Denna hade garaterat gått långt i ESC. Det är denna typ av låtar som slår. Jag tror inte någon av de som är i finalen kommer slå i ESC, tyvärr. Vi har röstat bort de bästa låtarna redan. Många av dem i finalen kommer gå bra här i Sverigen men inte i Europa.
i love her!!!!!!
Reminds me of As Good As New by ABBA.
Love it!💜🕺🏼🕺🏼💯
Steps brought me here
Something is in this song :)
I really like it! so 100 times better than girl with 'sheep-voice' from last year.
Go go go Sweden! just give her a last chance!
Fan va het hon e.
great song
Allt med låten=Perfekt.
Greatest song ever?
Näst bäst i årets festival.
Está canción me encanta, me recuerda mucho a Estolcomo. 🥰🥰🥰
Brilliant
Mutch better with Jenny Silver voice and moves than the new cover with STEPS.
Heia Jenny, du er best!
@Throku
Even if it's ABBA, it's not bad. Is "Oh Mama Popular" is better?
me encanta esta cancion da alegria
ABBA lives on!
tumme upp för låten äger hoppas den går vidare min alla rösta på lördag.
Will STEPS do this song justice. ? I can see it doing well in Sweden 🇸🇪 if its released there
Har kikat lite runt på utländska kommenrtarer på årets svenska festivallåtar. Denna tycks få minst negativa omdömen av dem alla. Verkar som de flesta därute i europa gillar denna låt.
@Lokahoitas1
This song was supposed to be in the final (and without second chance).
Denne,Sverige;ja denne skulle dere ha sendt!
Gode ønsker fra Nabolandet Norge!
@gnom1947 Popular is a typical Fredrik Kempe "song", half a sentance of lyrics and enough music to follow that, then looped enough times to reach the 3 min requirement. He had 2-3 "songs" in each part of the competition.

bakdansarna ser roliga ut!
@ros6830
Unfortunately she didn't win. I didn't watch one single show myself, so can't say much except that we're sending Eric Saade with the song "Popular".
ABBA-låten som Silver har blivit inspirerad av heter "As good as new" och kommer från albumet "Super Truper". Strax innan 1:00 hör ni...
TACK!!!! äntligen en som lägger upp låtarna med stereoljud!
Very nice! Świetne!
jaaaaa :P love this song :D
a well put together song that isn't as simple as many others, even if it does resemble abba a bit :P
bra låt
Waiting for Steps cover
Sweden are the Real Madrid of Eurovision
Anyone come here from Steps version.
Your are my favourite! What is Jennys new album?
@AmyLilies

SJUKT SNYGGT NUMMER!
12 Point from spain SECOND CHANCE.
@Throku

Mycket bra arrangemanget.
Scenframträdandet är också bra. Björn Gren.

@Throku I like this Jenny Silver song much more than Saade's Popular :-)
Varför kallar folk det här ABBA? Det är snarare en klassisk svensk schlager. Kan inte minnas att ABBA gjorde såna här låtar
@Lenia007. Att Jenny Silver inte kunde ge oss någon 3:dje plats vet vi juh ingenting om, eftersom hon inte tävlade i ESC- finalen.
Hahah älskar dans stegen hon tar
que buen rollo da en esta cancion
Jag älskar denna låt. Jag tycker att det skulle bli en jättebra låt för Nina o. Kim eller Steps också.
One decade later, and you got your wish 🤣
@mauritzization
I'm Russian. But the Swedes think this song really bad music. At Melodifestivalen it was not included in the top 10 :(... Is this normal?
Det finns en tävling som heter second chance contest.
Där kom Sverige tvåa med denna låten.
Ifjol vann vi med Timotejs kom....
ABBA!!!
wowww, she's 37?!? amazing looks
