Lol Sweden be a hive mind

Also why I started to participate?

Yes but it is a small country so not easy for them.

Treated badly, Luxembourg. And it isn't the same without them. That and the stupid public voting making the whole jury aspect almost academic some years. And too many countries to go through all the scores properly. It's just rushed now. Then stupid game show suspense at the end.

@@paulspice720 You don't think it has anything to do with the expense of hosting the competition for a country that's essentially the size of 1 city that has anything to do with it? Geez.

But why did we lose them? Like, did they say they didn’t wanna participate anymore or did they have difficulties? Did the Eurovision itself kick them out?

I think she made people believe she was 16, not 15

@@jean-baptistechopin1799 no, she told she was 15. 16 - is a minimum age for participants now, the rule EBU came up with after Sandra won

@@polinabernard7579 wrong again, that rule was as a result of France and Israel sending an 11-year old and a 12-year old respectively in 1989.

@@Quietstream_productions I didn't say this rule came BECAUSE she won, just AFTER. Several years later is still after, right? By the way, although this age rule was set in 1989, when 11 and 12 years old singers took part, Sandra Kim's victory in 1986 has much to do with this decision.

why did she lie

and they should't have won in '94

Also immediatly after 95 getting another win in 96

And it made them broke.

The Poles didn’t win cause the post communist poland wasn’t prepared to host next one

i would love to see a new rule introduced where all contesters are required to sing in their native tounge, it would have sence and bring some interest in the contest show

Theoretically if the UK wins with an English song, is it still a native language despite being English?

@@CubicCreeper7914 yes

@@sovennfiy855 That's not fair to countries who have a more 'difficult language' that's why the rule was disobeyed

it really is! my Swedish grandfather is properly obsessed with the song

I'm surprised they were only on once!

Listening to these straight through it feels like about 3 or 4 winners in a row right after ABBA were just trying to copy their sound.

Just true!

@@espnoberg6130 it was horrible, like absolutely horrendous But Island song was nice

@@monkeconleche Starting with the winner. The only thing i was thankfull about Esc 2020 been cancelled was i did not have to see the terrible possibility of Iceland or Russia winning with those "Songs"

To be fair the dude from Italy who was supposed to perform in 2020 could have also won at the end. His performance this year of that song was so damn powerful. And even, if Iceland and Russia would get most of the televotes, he probably would get buffed by the Jury. And probably a lot of votes would get split between other countries as well. I mean the girl from Poland who performed her song during 2020 JESC finale also did extremely well. In the end I feel like it's ok we didn't have that event? The UKposts event was actually kinda cool and there was no risk of Russia winning which would be messy with modern situation.

Agreed 100%. Super proud to live in Finland🇫🇮

I worked as an English teacher in Japan, and they asked me to do a class about something weird that happens in Europe, as their media only shows politics and squeaky clean idealised versions of European countries. I showed them the last 20 years of Eurovision winners. The kids (ages ranging from 6-16) we bopping their heads to Ukrain; they loved Greece, then FINLAAAAAAND!!! Nothing brings me more joy than 40 kids gasping in shock and laughing their butts off (in a good way) as they thought Finland was all Christmas and reindeer. XD

I am from finland and thats insane

Let's be honest Lordi was only popular at the time because of their costumes. The song itself was very Mid.

@@Republic_Flight Though after that year i was kinda disappointed by you guys. I thought you'd go down the path and send stuff like Krypts, Corpsessed or Hooded Menace by now.

Why are we all trying to fit in and be again and again part of this insanely fallen world? Why not listen OUR MAKER and come and keep being fully out from BABYLON which is this soon to be fully digital world?. Bible verses related to Not Fitting In from the King James Version John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 2 Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 1 Peter 2:19-21 - For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. (Read More...) Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (Read More...) Genesis 1:26-27 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Read More...) 2 Thessalonians 2:3 - Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Believing not the lies of this world nor taking part from it`s affairs (stop voting for good, stop protesting, leave 9 -5 jobs, schools, throwing out the TVs from the households to keep themselves far from consuming this worlds entertainments). Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Many souls, quick to call themselves “christians” but are not busy being one In reality also: GOD expect the souls who follow His son, CHRIST JESUS to do the WILL OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER: - keep the 10 commandments (including a resting in every 7th day of the week), - preach the gospel to all creatures (a job for the male side of human population as we read that females: 1 Timothy 2:12 - watch the signs which GOD shall send, - expose the evil doers (the masons and their master) Why many don´t bother to seek out what Christianity is truly about?

Figueroa mi ricorda Boris 4 lol

It is a pity that sometimes the voting is rigged to fit political agendas. Eg probably 2014 and 2022. At least the Ukrainian entry had a nice melody. The melodies since about 1990 have been not very good on the whole. The 1950s to 1990 were far better.

2003 will be turkey and in 2010 it is clear that the real champion is maNga.

Israel is not Europe!!!!

@@kailidovas9562 bruh

The Kessler twins (Germany 1959) had the first choreography in ESC (very reduced because the stage was very small), Brotherhood of Man (UK 1976) had a "handography"(Germany 1977 too), Izhar Cohen (Israel 1978) and his background group had a little dancy choreography and Dschingis Khan (Germany 1979) had choreography and costumes matching the song.Those came to my mind first , I'm sure there are more 🤔 The history of ESC is very far-reaching, there is a lot to discover :)

@@Seschat The Kessler twins at best swayed from left to right and snapped their fingers, which is what I said most acts did. Brotherhood of Man still just stood still yes they bopped up and down and moved their hands but it was very light choreography compared to Latvia's in 2002. Izhar Cohen swayed from left to right as well just at a quicker tempo hardly would call that choreography, they had a dance break indeed but my point was Latvia were the first country to both sing and dance at the same time and with more extreme choreography than just swaying and doing a little jiggle. Dschingis Khan is probably your best example because absolutely there is a lot more going on there but it's only one person on the stage that's actually moving their feet, everyone else is standing and swaying at best. My original point is that what Latvia did was so ahead of its time which is why it won, it wouldn't even qualify in these years but it was so ahead of its time that it amazed the people which is why it won. She sang whilst dancing, there's dancers on the stage too that don't even sing, the backing vocalists are apart of the choreography and then they do a fancy clothes change which back in 2002 probably amazed everyone. I respect the history of Eurovision absolutely I just thought it was interesting the dynamic shift we had from songs in 2002. The year after Latvia won we had Turkish belly dancers who made an incredible performance with their singing and dancing. It's just from my opinion it's clear 2002 was the year we went from just singing a song to singing and performing.

@@VigoJ The Kessler twins had really little space and therefore hardly any possibilities, but they turned and did synchronized dance steps on the tiny little stage - a miracle that they didn't hurt themselves! :D 'Choreography' is a wide field, and can contain all possible variations. As you have described it, you are of course right. Except for the one with the trick dresses - Ireen Sheer already had something like that in 1978 (Germany), but ok it was more of a trick top ;) The girls from UK had the first real trick dresses in 1981.

@@VigoJ I just remembered Germany's contribution from 1996 (Leon) - that was a choreography like the one you described. Unfortunately, Germany's entry and 5 others (if I'm not mistaken) didn't make it to the final.

To me, 2002 is the year it got worst haha!

@@gustavju4686 true

@@gustavju4686 Justice has prevailed because the UK, the true winner of 2022, has been selected to host the contest next year!

Our mentality and aspiration changed when Terry Wogan took over the commentary and started the downward spiral of derision and sarcasm that started to ruin the reputation of the contest and Graham Norton continued along the same path!Hardly surprising that Britain stopped sending serious contenders and ended up with trash like Scooch and the perennial last place! Now that we finally bothered to send a decent entry that would have won if Putin hadn't intervened maybe we can finally get rid of the sarcasm and start taking it seriously again! This was actually the first year I watched the contest in its entirety for years because, thanks to UKposts, I found a wonderful live stream from the Eurovision press centre with a brilliant live chat so I turned off the sound on my tv and listened to it on the stream instead with commentary by two people who were absolutely massive fans and were really into it all and treated it with the love and respect that it deserved!

Cool music #waterboymusic

Me too :/ But while our wish doesn't come true, we still have this video and the playlists with all the winners ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can actually find audio tracks of every Eurovision entry online if you know where to look. I created a playlist of winners, and another one for all the songs I liked, winners or not. Listening to the official audio is often much more pleasing than the live version, because they are mostly recorded in the studio.

Lordi is an amazing band,i am glad that they won.

You mist zitti e buoni van maneskin

let's see how things will turn out in 2032...

Something definetely happened in 2003, most winners prior to 2003 were either bland, boring or bad except for a certain few. Well, 1995 is my favourite winner and 1999 is very good winner but in general, not good.

I'm taking it as a 15 and a half second places, because this year we finished second to a walking 12 points, and not because their song was good.

cause russia is invading a country illegally

We’ll probably never win again though, it’s in the rté’s best interests for us to lose
