It’s the Final Countdown… 16 of August – 3 days left

In 3 day’s time Joey Tempest will celebrate his 46th birthday. Before this date, let’s have a look at his contribution to the success of The Final Countdown.

He is the author of lyrics, music and of course – he sings The Final countdown with Europe. Which of these three contributions put by Joey Tempest to the outstanding success of The Final Countdown – are the most important? What is your opinion?

Some people regard music as most important, others cannot see a good song without its wise lyrics. Yet the charisma of the performing band or singer- especially those who also composed, wrote the text – is tremendous.

The question is which of those three aspects – music, lyrics or performance – have and which are still having -biggest impact on The Final Countdown’s recognition and its place within Europe’s songs.
