Eurovision 1980 - Just Nu - Tomas Ledin

[@jannepori]

During his performance the microphone cable was accidentally plugged out of Tomas Ledin's microphone. He just made it to plug it in again, just before the start of the second verse. Cool guy! 1:04

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

janne sighting in the wild

[@paisleygerry]

He is so cool.....at 1.09 the cable comes out the microphone (normally this would be a disaster for most people) but he casually picks it up and plugs it back in and carries on singing as if nothing had happened........that is total COOL !!!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Happy 68th birthday, Tomas. Love you always. x

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Now 71 and still rocking. Still adorable too.

[@colleenheaterringtone2929]

And just by reading the comments I think I've found Tomas Ledins biggest fan

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Definitely! Sadly, his records are unavailable where I live.

[@steinarmogen3166]

Best Swedish entry ever! He is a great singer, so many good song. The arrangement and the rock feel....top class song. Why don't Sweden send more ROCK? That's what ESC really needs

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I love the confident, proud way he walks on stage.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

38 years today 6 March 1980 I first saw what this guy looked like and loved what I saw. Love you, sir!

[@MrOpenyourmindplease]

Today is april -22 so 42yrs

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@@MrOpenyourmindplease Yeah, I know. He is now 70 and his parents are still alive. His father is 96 today.

[@lisbethviklund4720]

Tomas Ledin is the best Singer i love this man and his musikal

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Tomas, my dear, have a truly wonderful 57th birthday. I will love you forever!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He's one of the nicest guys in music, apparently. He's also the son of a headmaster.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

This performance was done exactly 30 years ago today (April 19). I still love him and always will.

[@canalelvira]

Tomas was ABBA backvocal. You can see him in ABBA the movie

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

That guy is pure perfection!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Happy 61st birthday, beloved Tomas. I love you!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Happy 66th birthday, beloved Tomas. x

[@JustJack66]

I love his leg kick at 2:18 :) I think it was the first time on Eurosong somebody did that xd

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He has really unusual eyes. I just love them. He's so gorgeous. I'm in love with him or hadn't you guessed!

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

how are his eyes unusual?

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@@beautifulflowersafterhoursHis eyes seem to change colour on pictures. Sometimes grey, sometimes green, sometimes blue grey, sometimes green grey. They also seem almond shaped. I have many pictures of him on my hard drive.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He mentions that incident on his website, Gerry and actually admitted he didn't worry about it until later. He's just wonderful.

[@Lommy9999]

One of my all time Eurovision songs.... I love it

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Loved him then, still love him now.

[@satujauhiainen5183]

TOMAS LEDIN ❤

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He's 7 years older than I am, Josatinho and I'll always love him!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

When I went to bed after seeing him in the original contest, I actually DREAMED about him! Pity it never came true, his wife is one hell of a lucky woman.

[@JackWalker12993]

Very modern at the time, Tomas Ledin should've represented Sweden twice. He is a tremendous musician who didn't show off his talent a lot internationally, he could've been a global star. "Just nu!" Deserved Top 5 but 10th was just good enough I say.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Love you, Tomas! Please come to Britain!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

That last comment is actually from me. I was on Smexxi's computer at the time. And I still love him!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Dearest Tomas, happy 27th wedding anniversary (today, May 21 2010). Love to you both.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Tomas, my dear, happy 26th wedding anniversary for today (21st). Love you always and forever.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

As we say back home, Tomas, 'Ghrá mo chroí go deo' (Love of my heart forever).

[@klarinetta]

UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrDarcyssmile]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SuperGuldgossen]

en faborit artist jag har lyssnat på över 33 år

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I've loved him for 37 years, Kristoffer. Even at 65, he is still hot. And his sons are just as sexy.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He's definitely good looking. And still is at 55. I've had a crush on him for years!

[@soapabuser]

Det gör jag också. Den här låten är min favoritschlager när det gäller de svenska låtarna i Melodifestivalen. När det gäller de europeiska låtarna i Eurovision Song Contest så gillar jag låten "Hallelujah" som Israel representerade och vann med år 1979.

[@albinstrand1581]

very good

[@jeanettehansson7528]

Thomas ledin sjunger mycket bra och har en bra röst

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

So right, Josatinho. And still looking good at a few days off 57!

[@Euroviking86]

Thomas was already a popular singer in Sweden and abroad when he took part in Eurovision. While this song took me some warming up to, I now really like it. The lyrics are as desparate as the music. Yes, this was one of the stand-outs in that year for me. And another voting deceiver: 39 points from the first six juries - 8 points from the remaining thirteen...

[@MissSwedishredhead]

älskar låten ^^

[@Lommy9999]

Top 10 all time!!!

[@chantelbriody562]

I'm glad red hair kid is sticking up for tomas, you tell em girl, yes they are jealous of him

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He's almost 56 (February 25 1952) and there are many photos on his website.

[@mikatanskanen7034]

Tomas är😊

[@IzayoiArwena]

Hey i like it! And he is handsome

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ Aziza Alkan: So glad you, agree, Aziza! And he still is at 67.

[@Lommy9999]

Hottest esc contender ever

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Too bloody right, our Lommy! The only thing I don't like about the performance is the leather outfit as I am vegan and an animal rights advocate. But he is still flippin' hot!

[@klarinetta]

Oh yeah his eyes can melt stone cold hearts. Super sexy

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

There was a comment on here asking about Tomas' height. I can now confirm how tall he actually is - 6'2" (1.9m).

[@jerryberry5480]

He looked so handsome here

[@killeritz]

Oooh ! Memories...

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Love you forever, Tomas! Does anyone have footage of 'Taken by Surprise' or 'It's So Hard To Keep The Fire Burning', particular favourites of mine by him.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@G1FVFunnyVideos Yes, I am from another country and yes I do understand what he is singing! My liking for him inspired me to learn his language.

[@coolguybrian]

redhairkid if you’re seeing this phone the police my sharts are getting out of hand

[@lucaswallo8127]

what

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Tomas is the one guy I would marry!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Do I get the impression that some of the males on here are jealous? Tomas is a lovely person, handsome and a gentleman.

[@roodkapjekanaal1381]

he is zo cute

[@elisve]

The one and only!!!! Tomas är bara bäst!

[@ingridj65]

vilken attityd! gilla!glimten i ögat!

[@tryffel8]

Töntiga moves eller inte. De är ett grymt bra framträdande av en i mitt tycke, en av de absolut 3 bästa shlager-vinnar-låten någonsin. Studio-versionen av låten är dock rätt tam i jämförelse. Live-oorkestern fyllde verkligen sin funktion när dety begav sig

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

You're so right, Slamgurka, my friend. And I find his leather suit so damn sexy although I'm a strict vegetarian!

[@Goddybag4Lee]

And on guitar in the back: Anders Glenmark!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Recently on social media, he expressed sympathy over the death of my cat. He really is a lovely person.

[@MrTom1401]

Big schwedish singer - I like that way he sings

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

He's so sweet and sexy. Still love him madly!

[@SuperKauris]

hyvän näköinen mies!!

[@Xertp]

bra

[@MrTom1401]

Was hat Tomas während des Liedes auf der Treppe aufgehoben ? Lange her- tolles Lied damals....

[@skitenpowsidan]

ah helt klart bättre än dagens melodifestival

[@preludance]

Tomas Ledin ist klasse, aber in Deutschland nahezu unbekannt. Suche "open up". Sonst ist doch fast alles auf youtube zu finden. Her mit diesem tollen Song!

[@McLarenMercedes]

Telex rules. Belgium one point. Pioneers indeed way before their time. Sigmund Freud's party is hilarious.

[@CJBR1966]

The microphone has felt in the ground but he has caught and continued to sing and not paniced, what funny!!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Because he is a professional that's why! And he's 6'3" not 6'2" as I stated earlier. But who freaking cares? He's bloody awesome!

[@paisleygerry]

Yes it's the coolest and calmest thing I ever seen. With 100 million people watching your mic lead comes out mid song .....and he calmly plugs it back in and continues singing. How cool is that ?? It wasn't just the mic that fell....the actual lead came out !!

[@paisleygerry]

I am sure you wouldn't care about an extra inch lol !

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ PaisleyGerry: At his height he can give me a good 13 inches! (I wish...)

[@nonni139]

Här låtsas Tomas att han är Rod Stewart.. Det går inte speciellt bra, när en norrlänning ska vara cool i skinnkläder..

[@justiina32]

Good song!!! And heredotus i wonder often why sweden NEVER give points to FINLAND!! even is really good song

[@CJBR1966]

Swedish rock

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

You're just jealous! Tomas is seriously sexy. He and Tony Hicks are the top guitarists.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Tomas definitely. But he's not blond, I wouldn't fancy him if he was. He's dark brunette.

[@yourstereotype]

så sant : Just nu vill jag leva =)

[@jussilintunen3946]

Tomas Ledin sommaren e kort

Sounded much better in the Swedish final.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I think he's around 6'4".

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

Olle, I see your problem, son. You are SO jealous of handsome, sexy Tomas!

[@NordiskSeger]

Lätt Tomas Ledins bästa låt. Den blir än bättre när han lite kaxigt sparkar upp mikrofonstativet i början.

[@aknigge]

For the Girls (eurovision 1980): a) Blond scandinavion: Tomas Ledin (just nu) b) Black mediterran: Alan Sorrenti (non so che darei) Girls, which choice you made, Tomas or Alan?

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

yeah tomas is hot and cute but there were hotter and cuter people that night in the hague

[@beautifulflowersafterhours]

vesa-matti loiri and mattis hætta

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ Caritalicious: Not likely! Tomas was the hottest. His sons are also sexy. And Tomas is still a looker at 70.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@@beautifulflowersafterhours Vesa-Matti is too blond for me, I like them dark.

[@lilsniff7191]

Och de här numret vann över Kenta?

[@tuulahansen1959]

:) Sandvikenkille :)

[@trickster33able]

Faktiskt kramforskille 🙂

[@PAJA63]

Intressant vid 1:05. Miksladden lossnar och måste skruvas fast igen i en hast!

[@BlameshiftTheBest]

Are you guyz from sweden and writing or are you from another country and don't even understand what he is singing!?

[@theaterkanin]

Nice moves! haha

[@grandsisterb]

Jag har åsikten av att dom ser längre ut för brallorna är för korta:D

[@efcpl]

Världen var helt enkelt inte redo för just nu....

[@florenna]

In this case, a, all the way... Tomas Ledin is so sexy in this! (And Alan Sorrenti has moustache...a big turn-off, at least for me!)

[@stoffenl]

He's a bit stiff compared to Telex.

[@Vinga34]

Det var bättre bidrag på den tiden

[@dumnirvana]

And who cares?

[@jozefmatusek508]

Awful

[@steinarmogen3166]

Best Swedish entry ever! He is a great singer, so many good song. The arrangement and the rock feel....top class song. Why don't Sweden send more ROCK? That's what ESC really needs
