Fun fact: Under both the current and old voting rules, this is officially the highest scoring runner-up entry in Eurovision history.

It's exactly this felling when 17 years boy sing much more better than all adults are taken together.

Kristian Kostov should have another chance to represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2022! ♥

It’s 2021 and i can’t still believe how this didn’t win

2 years later, and he's still the winner for me ♥

He's seriously the most pure-hearted human being on earth. I just watched a Bulgarian interview with him and he couldn't stop apologizing to Bulgarians all over the world for not winning, there were literally tears in his eyes. Can you believe this precious child actually thinks he did something wrong? His performance was so professional and sincere and he deserved to win. Portugal was good, but in my opinion, Kris' performance and stage presence were multilayered and more interesting to watch and listen to. With the Portugal song you just know what to feel before it even started, it's a moving, somewhat sad song that expects you to act in the same way. And with Kris' song you feel whatever you want to feel, you can pick whatever emotion you want on the spectrum and it will suit the song. And stop saying that people only wanted him to win because he's a good-looking boy or whatever. Don't act like Salvador isn't a young, good looking artsy type of a guy too who girls were probably crying and feeling sad for while he was singing the song. And most of all stop talking about looks and physical appearances.

hey, it's almost 3 years ago. that hurted. never forget when he sang this and we watched it live.

Fun fact: Eurovision 2016:Jamala 1 st place with 534 points Eurovision 2018:Netta 1 st place with 529 points Eurovision 2019:Duncan 1st place with 498 points Eurovision2017:Kristian 2nd place with 611 points

With 17 years old being second is a great achievement😁

Bulgaria send Kristian again next year, please! He's very talented.

Now is 2024 year, and he is still my Winner for "Eurovision 2017".

We’re in 2020 but I’m still saying bulgaria should’ve won!

FLAWLESS! Did I just watch a 17-year old sing do that?? Easily the best vocal performance of the night. 12 POINTS FROM DENMARK

2 years later, still my favourite eurovision entry ever. This deserved to win.

Guys I am from Bulgaria and seeing all of the heart-warming comments from really makes me feel great, appriciate you

I will never NOT be salty how this song was robbed of the 1st place. Nobody can tell me Portugal was better.

Winner song but in wrong year. I'm from Portugal 🇵🇹 and can't stop listening this song. Powerful performance and incredible confident. Congrats Kristian!

Still can't believe how it didn't win.

One of the best Eurovision songs, still can't believe he didn't win

Now 6 years had passed, but Kristian still stands as one of the most talented singer at such young age. Can you imagine possessing such strong live vocals at 17!!

This song deserved to win. I love this song.

So sad that Bulgaria didn´t win, but I´m so glad that our jury (Norway) gave Bulgaria 12 points! He deserved the 12 points! Well done, Bulgaria!

Me from 2080 still wondering how this masterpiece didn't win

4 years later, he is still a winner for me

he's alone on stage but he's ruled, what an amazing performance, angelic voice xx

No matter what they say or do, Kristian is the ultimate winner in this year, and he is only 17. Thumbs up if you agree :)

Dude got himself a fan in 30 seconds

Eurovision 2020 is (not😭) coming and I'm still mad this didn't win.....

Whatever they say.. This was the best performance on this show! He isn't just a child or "Bulgarian Bieber" He is Kristian Kostov and he was better than anyone, the best!

I always get blown away when he says 'thank you' with that little smile at the end, because it sounds so shy, cute and overwhelmed which is just the complete opposite of his strong perfect just totally beautiful vocals before that took my breath away. And then he's like heavily breathing but thanks everyone and I'm just like 'wow'. I love that. I seriously love that, because it's showing to me how strong and free people get while singing compared to their normal beings. At least to me it seems like that. Kristian is just beautiful in many ways and I really love this song. In a way he did deserve to win, although I quite liked Portugal too and how diverse it was, but Kristian was just...well his performance was so pure and stunning, to me it seemed so much like his vocals came directly from his heart and that is just so amazing. I don't care how cliché that sounds, but it definitely touched my heart.

I'd love to see Kristian representing Bulgaria again. 2023 and I'm still fuming he didn't win

I don't think there'il ever be a better song on Eurovision again. Best song ever on Eurovision for me

Still salty he didnt win

True winner😍

bro it’s 2021 and i’m still furious he didn’t win

We're in 2023 and I still thinking about how Bulgaria didn't won, no matter what real winner was Bulgaria of 2017!!! With much love from Azerbaijan!! 🇦🇿🇧🇬❤️

a big talent bulgaria should take care of him

This is the winner that I've been looking for! I can't vote for him cuz I'm from Philippines but he still has my full support! BULGARIA FTW!

Oh my God, what a fantastic song, and what an excellent artist...!!!We want Kristian back in Eurovision!!!!

Can't stop listening to this song all these years...it touches my soul..a real masterpiece.Congrats to Kristian, the real winner of Eurovision!

He is talented. I hope he will be a worldwide star.

Belarus gave Bulgaria 12 points. The best! The voice is magical

Everyone's talking about Salvador's emotional performance, but this was the only song that moved me that night. 12 points from Ireland🇮🇪🇮🇪

Still my favourite Eurovision song of all time. Still hurts that this didn’t win😭

The best voice of Eurovision 2017 !!! Gave BULGARIA the best ever Eurovision performance and results.We will be pushing even further each year until we win!!! GO BULGARIA!!!

5 years later...I wonder how this masterpiece with over 600 points didn't win.

He with 17 years- 2nd place on Eurovision Me with 17 years - what am I going to eat today

KRISTIAN IS THE WINNER FOR ME!

I hope this wins! Amazing voice and performance😃 12 points from Serbia!

I was born the exact same day as Kristian Kostov, at this time i was a 17 year old in high school band trying to write songs in the school practice rooms while he was slaying the Eurovision stage

The Real Winner of Eurovision 2017🇧🇬🇧🇬

he is the real winner this year and we know it in our hearts, love you Kristian

It doesn't care how many times I hear this song, I always cry. The real winner this year. Amazing voice, amazing performance, beautiful lyrics. Congrats from Spain.

Bulgaria: The master of solo performers with no additional extras. Remember Sofi Marinova?

Some people win ESC. But some people win voters hearts and will be remembered. Bulgaria 💟💖🔥🔥

for some reason when I watch this performance I start crying...I can't just describe it..Kristian is a unique artist

Kris you made Bulgaria proud! Don’t be sad about the scores One day you will come back and show them who really is the winner!

Everyone talks about Salvador‘s emotional performance... but the only performance that really touched me that evening was Kristian‘s! Sobral left me totally cold... Kristian was amazing! I‘m still sad he didn’t win. One of the best Eurovision songs ever!

I'M SO SAD KRISTIAN DIDN'T WIN THE CONTEST HE MAY NOT BE THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST BUT HE IS THE WINNER IN MY HEART IM SO GLAD MY COUNTRY (MACEDONIA) GAVE HIM 12 POINTS THO AAHHH

well, I'm from Portugal and all I can say is: damn this song is perfect! ❤️ wish you all the best, this song is amazing

2023 and this song still gives me goosebumps

Came back here, because it's not about the winners, but about the best.

bulgaria should win eurovision with this beautiful mess ;)

Kristian Kostov spelled backwards is TALENT

it's no matter what place takes this beautiful song, it will remain in the history longer than many other EUV winning songs..

2020 and there's not a single song like this.... the lyrics, the musicality and the amazing interpreter's sensibility!!!!

Still think that he is the most talented boy in the Eurovision's history.

Best Eurovision song ever

Still salty how this one didn't win 2017

Please listen to his voice, listen to the song, look at the staging, this was the winner for me idc idc

He said for one interview that he let Bulgaria down and cried,but Bulgaria called him a hero!!True winner!Love and greetings from me!💜(Serbian girl)

The real winner, he is so young and so talented. Greetings from Poland xx

It is simply impossible to believe that someone can have such a professional voice at such a young age, as it is at 17 years old, my mind does not believe this is possible. The feelings that Kristian provokes with this song cannot be described. What a voice, what a talent, and Kostov was also very handsome at that age 🤭

Kristian has such an angelic voice. Bulgaria deserved first place by far in my opinion. (not bias, i'm australian)

When you smash the replay button... again and again and again.....:)

One of the most powerful performances in eurovision history

I got goosebumps all over me , and that soft "thank you" in the end got me :'( ... they deserve to win so many times! since 2020 cancelled we can't see Tears getting sober on stage :(( ♥ From Indonesia

I still by my words, if THIS song was sung by Beiber, any of 1D, or Jonas brothers guys (doesn't even matter which one), it would've become a world wide hit and still sat at the top ten lists, it was simply too good for ESC. Thank You, Kristian for letting us to have this experience hearing for the first time.

Greetings from Romania !

The true winner of esc 2017

REAL WINNER 2017 😭

This boy shows incredible energy, deepth, charisma and heart. The world will be in his hands. You deserved Kris. We love Bulgaria

Kris is the real winner. ❤️ Love, love, love 🇧🇬

It took Portugal about 50 years to win in 2017. Don't give up home country. Go Bulgaria, go! We need just one masterpiece like this one and we'll catch up.

its already 2020, 3 years later and mad because he didnt win. 2:26 *the moment where i cried*

I think Bulgaria should have won, i mean this voice!! And he is only 17, still proud even though it didn't won!

The real winner!! 😍🇧🇬🇧🇬

I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but ESC 2017 really had the best stage, and the way they used it for this song is just amazing.

Одно из немногих выступлений, которое я пересматриваю абсолютно каждый год. Кристиан был невероятным.

I love this boy. I really love him. He is awesome in singing and has so much fun to sing. He should have won this. Love you Kristian, greetings from germany

Who still listening this? Love from Lithuania🔥❤

2017. The year when real music took the top 2. I'm still going back to listen to that amazing year.

Its 2021 and im still coming back to this. This song is on the 1st place in my list, and i have been watching eurovision for years. It's just so beautiful and i dont know why but it touches me differently from other songs. Greetings from Cyprus and Russia🇨🇾🇷🇺❤

My fav Eurovision song ever - he should have won!!!

💚💚💚 I gonna pretend Bulgaria won

Masterpiece, best voice, can't believe this guy exists...

Lycris if you’re to lazy When the world shakes us Trying to take us out of line Fear of tomorrow Feelings we borrow for a time Water so deep, how do we breathe? How do we climb? So we stay in this mess This beautiful mess tonight And we don't have a thing to lose No matter what they say or do I don't want nothing more Our love is untouchable Even in the line of fire When everything is on the wire Even up against the wall Our love is untouchable Our love is untouchable When the colors turn gray And the lights all fade to black again We're in over our heads But somehow we make it back again Water so deep, how do we breathe? How do we climb? So we stay in this mess This beautiful mess tonight And we don't have a thing to lose No matter what they say or do I don't want nothing more Our love is untouchable Even in the line of fire When everything is on the wire Even up against the wall Our love is untouchable Even in the line of fire When everything is on the wire Even up against the wall Our love is untouchable

THIS BOY IS THE REAL WINNER OF ESC 2017😊❤

My family voted for this amazing song to win in the Uk and glad we tried to help as from the uk we gave Bulgaria 12 points from the people's votes 👌🏻❤️
