Hey Sune,
Nice to see you in Berlin! Hope we'll work together someday :)
Ruperto from Santiago
Sune, you're a great artist, and your career will be a BIG one. Really nice sound!
Congratulations!
Claude from London, I think your disrespect for a great young singer is just pathetic. If you are used to the "English tenor" kind of sound it's just your problem.

Wonderful to have a Dane again in this competition. Good luck and all the very best.
G Motley, Derby
His performance really moved me. I thought he had a really beautiful tone, and his repertoire suited him so well. I'd listen to him in Oratorio any day!
claude in London
I don't think he is going to win....too piercing and sounds like he is going to crack a note any second. Not my cup of tea at all..too many tenors sound like they're being violated!!
Asmus, Paul & Maria, Aarhus DK
1000 kærlige tanker fra dine tidligere kolleger (og barn!).
Peter Lodahl, Hamburg
