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.
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 🙂

De Erste de Beste van Denemarkeen :-) Love this song danku Bedanku Seebach.
jeg er en stor tommy seebach fan fra tyskland
han fortjente mere end det de gav ham han var en af de størest vi havede

Rasmus basically salvaged the family name, and restored people’s respect for his father’s legacy. That ain’t no small feat.
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"…….
han vil ALTID være Den Bedste Og Gud Hvor Jeg Savner Ham " SNØFT " Tuder Stadigvæk over hans Sange!
Simpelthen fantastisk, fantastisk simpelthen RIP Tommy!
Kim Larsen og Tommy uden tvivl de største. Savner dem begge
Enig, han fortjente mere end han fik.
Een af Danmark BEDSTE-STE komponister og sangere. FANTASTISKE sange der bevæger og skaber hygge !!
Tommy + Dario = Legender 🔥💪
Tommy var den bedste!!
RIP 1993 2020 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Smuk hyldest. Tommy
kunne være fyldt 70 i år 2019
Ser den med våde øjne 😞❤️
Respect... han var sku bare utrolig god til det der musik......
Han er savnet❤
Og nu er de lige blevet færdige med at filme optagelserne til filmen om Tommy med Anders Matthesen i hovedrollen 😊
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.
Hej smukke Far Flemming jeg elsker dig skat sofie 💙far Flemming
Han har også været med i hit med sangen
Hello Do you have the whole show I need 2 performances
Lee Hutton "Hollywood Girl"
Kat & Justin Hopkins "Black And Blue"
