Frans - If I Were Sorry - 🇸🇪 Sweden - Grand Final - Eurovision 2016 

This song is STILL on German radio until this day (2020).

50 extra points for correct use of the conditional ("If I were ..")

Why does sweden always have the best songs?

Sweden is definitely the greatest Eurovision nation. It never lets you down.

Sweden: let's build this incredible stage that can make the coolest effects and even make the performers able to climb on the wall and let's have a hologram which can make it look as if there are wolves on stage Sweden: what should we do with our own song? Sweden: let's write different words in big letters behind the singer

He was only 17, when he sang this song at eurovision....... So young, yet so talanted...................

Sweden: **makes the best stage in the history** Also Sweden: *Just yellow lights*

2019 and you can still hear it in germanys radiostations.

One of the biggest radio hits ever from ESC. Still on radio in Germany, Swiss, Sweden, Netherlands, UK, Norway and Denmark. Over 86 million Streams on Spotify and still earning 4-5 million Streams every year. 3rd most Streamed song ever in eurovision history after Heroes (106m) and Euphoria (121m)

Swedes know a lot about music, a simple uncomplicated melody and wants to listen again this song Greetings from Russia

It's funny, that song got more attention then the winner.

The real winner of the esc 2016. It's 2018 already and this song is still on the radio in Germany!

His smile omg 😍

He deserves so much more attention. I think the main reason why he didn't win is that Sweden already won in 2015. How else is here 2021?!

Sweden has often the Best songs: If I were Sorry, Euphoria, Heroes

He didn't need to win ESC, he still gets lots of airplay now in 2023, because it is just a brilliant song!

The song is all over the radio in switzerland

My favorite was Swenden, because he had no big, complicated show and has simply made just his thing. He looked very sympathetic and cute and he's only 17 !!! He did not look nervous. Especially the song is in the German charts at number two. Congratulations!!! I think Germany should have given you the twelve points. Vici (And I'm really sorry for my english)

Sweden is on another level of producing timeless hits like this one that is still played on radios in Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, UK, Netherlands and so on. Even when finishing #5, he stole the whole attention from the 2016 winner and this song blew up. What an extraordinary country Sweden is! Love you so much Sweden!

This is amazing! Without excessive stage effects, backup dancers and complicated choreography but with simple and comforting melody. Love from Canada!

His smile is killing me :-)

The real winner! from germany

It`s 2021 and I still came back here to listen one of the best Eurovision song 💛💙

So relaxed and humble. He looks so comfortable when he sings this like he’s singing it in his shower instead of in front of thousands of people and millions worldwide

In my opinion, this song should have won! It's the only ESC Song which is in the Top 50 charts on Spotify in Germany. So u see I'm not the only one with this opinion :P

I think Sweden was the best again! it's such a nice song :)

2021.-the song is regularly played on the radio in Croatia

A year later and I still love this Update: love it even more now

I am from Germany and I think this is the best song from Song Conest 2016 very good frans❤❤😄one of my favourite songs

Best Song in Eurovision Song Contest

This song has a kind of magic, there's no better way to put it. I just wanna clap along. Sweden was the only Nordic country in the final after we all failed to qualify, but as the only Nordic, they did us proud.

Sweden always surprise us, It's just amazing how they just make a song I mean all of those talented people Ukraine, Russia, Sweden it's just incredible! Greetings from the UK

i like this song so much , but it remembers me of Catch and Release , anybody else?

Best song in eurovision

Radio hit still in Slovenia 2021🥳

I love Sweden!💙 They have glorious songs!!!😉

Love it, so simple and cute. Besides, this guy is just so charming, without any ripped clothes or sexy dances.

He's only 17 yet he got to represent our country. So amazing!

Heard the song on the radio this weekend still enjoying it as much as i did six years ago. Honestly so iconic.

He looks a little bit like Jack from Titanic...😏

I think I've just fallen in love 😂💞💞

they caked makeup on that poor kid

His one smile, only one smile worths millions maybe more. It is so pure, so simple.

Back to the good old Eurovision times when a simple song like this still got appreciated. What happened?

Sweden must have won one more time 😍😍

So, now haters? What? Love you Frans from Greece

The fact that I still hear this song in Hungarian radios is amazing.

Why does Sweden always have the best pop-songs?

Sweden is the most beautiful country in the world!I love you Sweden;) Greetings from Austria...❤

His only 17 and he wrote the song as well good luck to him for the future greetings from England

He's so cuuuuute

I was so in love with Frans and I forgot how good his song was. Damn might catch feelings again

Think should be the winner. So simple, so effective - no expensive costumes, decorations - 5th place! presentation of the song is touching

Sweden... soo good songs every year

Still on Latvian radio at 2021

2021 and this song is still on the radio in Germany 😂 because it's just amazing

I was in the audience in Globen and this was possibly the best moment of the entire evening, with the whole arena giving him their full support during the performance, singing along and clapping all the way from start to finish. Epic! I just love watching this afterwards, seeing his smile and face expression when he realises he has a choir of about 16,000 people. :) A flawless performance from Frans and a well deserved fifth place!

his hair look like young leonardo's hair

Oh gosh! His smile

this was the only song, that was played up and down in the radio, out of eurovision 2016. So I think he is the actual winner of that year regarding commercial success. Never heard of ukraine or russian song again.

The song is catchy, but his stage manners are making the song even better. You can see he's genuine and most of all chill :D Well done, Frans!

A very talented young man. There is something about him as he does not look fully Swedish. He also sounds as if he has a London accent.

STILLL LOVE THIS SONG, love from the netherlands

Какой очаровательный парень, такая энергетика светлая и песня звучит по особенному душевно! Навсегда одна из любимых на Евровидение!

he is so cute :)

THE BESSSSTTT!!!

The simplicity if everything here and yet he's making the arena go crazy. Such a charismatic guy

Какой очаровательный малый, какая милая песня! 😍 Некоторые люди побеждают, а некоторые просто остаются в сердцах благодаря своей искрящейся доброте 💛

So much better than Ukraine, Australia and Russia combined together. Simple but classy! Love from Russia

The real winner!!!!!

I had NO idea this song was from ESC (I didn't watch the contest in 2016).....it plays all the time on Portuguese radio XD

Its been two years and forgot to comment how i love this song😢

What a great song. And a nice guy. Everything so simple, but either great. That's probably the only song from ESC that i've listened from the very beginning to the very end. Lots of love and goodness from Russia.

I want his hair. Poland loves this song x

No one talks about how he did this when he was 17!!!

This song is now in czech republic very often played.

he was so sweet on stage , good performance , Greetings from Azerbaijan ")))

For me Sweden was the best again!😂💓

My fav song in eurovision. For some reason I wish he was my brother.

I still love this song and will continue to listen in years to come he should have won. Your biggest fan says your awesome

The best song at this year ESC

Sweden has some talented and great artists! I really appreciate this act and especially the wondeful hosts mans and petra! Wish the esc would be in sweden every year with that great hosts! 🙈

This will always be my favorite Swedish song.

I love this song. Simple, but beautiful.

That was the best song!!!!!!!! He is the winner for me,he was amazing! He is definitely not on the same level as the actual winner ... I voted like 10 times for him I would do it again,he is so talented and he deserved to win.... Even though I'm from Bulgaria,I think he and the guy from the Netherlands were the best... So sorry to know they didn't win... Hope to see them next time ✌🏼️

I absolutely love this song. Nice text, simple melody - one of the best in this contest.

SWEDEN IS AMAZING AT EUROVISION! It always prevails!

for me winner eurovision 2016

Thank you everyone for voting on Frans

Daaaaamn Sweden back at it again So simple and so good, this should've won!!!

Greetings from Turkey . Sweden makes so beauty songs in eurovision

2016 was the best year of eurovision so good songs especially this one

Wooow !

Three things raised my heatbeat: the voice, how he stroked his hair back and these special looks to the camera

Idk but in Germany it’s still in the radio :D

If this song won 2015 or 2023, i wouldn't argue

What i liked most about this performance was visual effects and lights. Because there was so few of it. Big relief from all those shiny bling-blings. Also, he is very cute. And shy. And honest.

You are the winner of our hearts !!!❤

I live this song

still listening to the song and its 2019 :) . kisses from the Netherlands to a real winner
