Sweden: Official video of Hero released!

I love the song, but the video is a disaster! no action, hardly any close-ups (editing hello??), they could've just edited together a few fan videos found on youtube, it would've taken like an hour and would've been far more interesting

It is actually such an awful video. Although seeing as the song is now falling down the Swedish Charts now seems a bit late to release a video.

Awful, but I couldn't help laughing. And I'm certainly not laughing when I watch Charlotte's video. It's so boring.

i think this video is cheap, and part of it is copied from rihanna's video of umbrella! i think she should fire her make up artist because that dark eye shadow makes her uglier not more beautiful.

@thelma pavlou: Do you know a lot of songs from the 80's? Because I can tell you that Hero doesn't sound like them. :P Not all dance-music is old fashioned, even though similar music was popular in the 80's. :)

@Zingostar & Hero .: Again, someone saying they don't like the song can not be considered bashing. ;)

They have said that the Video is not to make it cool or to make it like Ukraine...make her look hot and be a cool lady. The Video wants to bring the song and Charlotte as one....The video is to show that it's only needs to be a singer and a song to make a good song, I believ it's the right way to think and it's a good saying but personly I wanned more. but it's ok...it gets better and better


And your exits are.... !! [25643]

the only goodhe vid part of the video is the shilouette thing right before the end... no motion, no emotion on her face.. its like she had a face lift that went really wrong.. and what s with the hair around the light on the floor..?!?!

saying all that i love this song.. and it will probably still win..

I know some ppl want to be supportive to Charlotte, and maybe they even think that this is good video...but to say that this is the best video this year can be only NOT eurovision fan.

I don't think this will have influence on voting, frankly video is horrible, but live performance rocks and I believe Charlotte will rock in Belgrade, and that's all that meters !

I dont want to be a hater but the video is really awful. Why doesn´t she move more, it´s an uptempo song for crying out loud!?! And whoever did the editing? I could do it better on Windows Movie Maker, tuh. Whatever happened to the shots from the top of the Globe Arena? So many questions...

I´ll stick to the live clip, thank you very much!
