Magnus Carlsson was emoting his heart out during the Eurovision competition. To help him out, sign language artist Tommy Krångh interpreted the lyrics for the hearing impaired. This is what happened.

Looks like Tommy Boy was emoting his heart out, too! Probably made the video come alive a bit more for those that are hearing impaired. By mouthing the words and getting more expressive as the volume / emotion increased he portrayed what was happening in the music.
Definitely fun to watch.
