I expect you to come do a concert in Oslo and quickly! I have 70% certainly that I’ll see you. I hope that you have more a good year! Happy Birthday!

Dear Eric,I write you this "letter" listening to your music “Popular”, because it was the first of your songs that I heard and was with it that a became "a fan". You made me think about a lot of things. I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today without your influence, your musical influence.It's a special day for you. I think it's your birthday today hahahaha. So... Happy Birthday! I can just wish you a continuation of your excellent career, a better visualization of your music, not just in Europe but also in the others continents. I wish you health, love and happiness too. I think that this can be the first and also the only time that "I can talk with you" so I'd like to invite you for a visit to my country or even a concert. We would like it a lot. So, think about it.One more time, Happy B-day

I <3 U, Eric Khaled Saade!

Hello Eric, everything fine with you? I certainly hope so.

Today is your day, you make 22 years-old, another year makes you even more special.

If it was my birthday I wish you could come to Portugal. Me and many “Saadists” would love if you could come to Portugal and sing for us your beautiful songs. When I saw you singing on Eurovision the music "Popular" I thought: Wow what the hell? He has an amazing voice!

So, I searched your song in the internet and now your music is part of the best moments in my life. Like when I went to the national championship, I heard your music before the beginning and I won because of you!

So, Happy Birthday Eric Saade and remember: THE PORTUGUESE FANS LOVE YOU!!

Today is your birthday, your 22nd birthday... It's amazing, isn't it? :DI'm writing this text from a place you know as well: Spain... And listening "Imagine"... It's a perfect duet. ;) I still can feel your smell in the air... I fell you in every place I'm, but I felt it more when I was in Marbella. ^_^ I totally adore you, as artist and person, I didn't felt so in "love" for a singer since I was... Can't remember! :P Hope I can see you very soon at portuguese stages, Portugal

Hello Eric! Happy birthday! I hope many more years to come, not only for you, but also for your music career. I also hope that your birthdays become even more special because you deserve it! You have done an excellent job during your career and for that reason you should continue, because you are an inspiration, surely not just for me, but also for all your fans. With your music you have the gift of making me believe in myself and that I can achieve my dreams. Every time that I feel sad about something I start to sing or listen to your music and I feel better right away, it's great that you have this effect on people. I think that you are a great person; kind and who respects and enjoys helping others. You are a good example to follow. By the way, I would like to say that you are the first singer which I like all the songs, and that is a great feat! Did you know that once I made a school work about you? That’s true! And then I presented the work in front of my whole class! I identify a lot with your phrase "My art is my freedom", because I want to work with art and that is how I express myself. I have followed your career and after all this I can only say that I wish you to continue and achieve many successes and accomplish all your goals and dreams, because you deserve it and we all need you! I'm waiting for you to come to Portugal!

Happy Birthday Eric!!I'm just a fan (among many) who loves you very, very, very much!!I always loved dance, but just started liking music after listening to you...I meet you before Eurovision... During the Eurovision, I was two hours fingers crossed for you to win!!I Like all your songs, but I love to listening "Break of Down" before sleeping...Eric... your art is my freedom!! =)One day I hope to meet you, just to thank you for being an angel.You are forever in my heart ♥I love you my perfect manboy!You are my favorite singer! You are my dream...The moon belongs to you ;)

Hello I am Tânia and I live in Chaves, Portugal. I have 17 years old and I am a big fan of you.

I love your songs and the choreographies of each music. I have no chance to go to your concert and I would like you to come here. You have been already on south Spain but it is still too her away for me.

I want to wish good luck to you and may your birthday be full of happiness.

And I would you like to say, that your voice enchants me and all your fans.

A kiss from your Portuguese fan, Tânia Alves.

Hey Eric, I hope you see this, ILOVEYOU. You are the best idol around the world...

I started to like you when a friend of mine started to talk about Eurovision and you were participating and I was like "who is Eric?" So, since I saw you acting, I really loved, you dance nicely, you are a wonderful singer, you are all of good that I neither can explain...

Please, come to Portugal. You go to all the places least Portugal. Please, come here. I'm from Azores but I would get all the possible ways to see you acting...

You are the best guy of the world ♥♥ So, the song I love more is... from all, there isn't a possible choice but the songs I love very much is "Popular" and "Imagine" but it doesn't means I don't like the others, I love all. ♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOST BEAUTIFUL IDOL AROUND THE WORLD ♥♥

Hi Eric, I wish you an amazing birthday , hope you will have a wonderful day . I'm so happy to had an opportunity to met you . That was so incredible and wonderfull .Thank you so much

This addiction to Saade began a year ago,when I was watching Eurovision and found it quite interesting the music and his performance. After the final of Eurovision I had the song in my head and I started to searching more about you and found that you had already an album. I started listening the album and I was fascinated with your work, from there the addiction Saade began to increase until today: P

I get fascinated with you because you do concerts that make me open my mouth... the same happens when I see you dancing and singing at the same time, because it's very difficult to do O.o

Going forward what I wish to you is that can be you recognized worldwide, but before that, want to ask you to come to Portugal xD

With all this, I just got one thing to say to you: "I am proud to be an Eric Saade fan" :D
