The fact that Ukraine of all countries gave us 12 points is a HUGE rub in the face to everyone who doubted us. Even the cool kids love us!
There’s a reason why they gave us 12 points with other judges too and we came second and they won this year considering we have been dire for nearly 25 years and all of a sudden this happens. If you can’t see it then … well. I hope it’s not just a one off and we send more quality songs and singers. I think over the years we have had decent songs and singers. This year as last few years it had been political for Ukraine and us coming second.
Cringe
Ukraine was political on the jury vote they gave the UK 12 points because they love the UK it was one of the major countries involved in the training of troops and the supply of weapons since the annexation of Crimea but unlike some other countries that training hasn’t stopped they continue training troops in new weapons some of which aren’t even integrated in the British military yet and are actually still being tested by the British military. Just look at the news stories about how some towns are naming streets after Boris Johnson
@@jamesevans938 The Ukrainian jury didn't give anything to Poland or Lithuania though, and they have helped Ukraine a lot. So I think they just really liked the song. Also the lead singer of Go_A (the woman giving the points) said Sam was one of her favorites :)
Here in Ukraine, 5 judges put the scores, 4 of which put the UK in 1st place, and the other judge in 2nd place, that is, they unanimously decided!
I love how even the British announcers are like “THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!! THIS ISN’T A TRICK! IT’S REAL!!!”
😂😂😂
Announcers?? It's just one guy
graham norton is a national icon
@@gaylordbigboobs a funny national icon
He's irish not british
We were probably the most excited contestant ever to get second place at eurovision.
You had practice.
this part is an long progess
I would argue that Bulgaria 2017 and Cyprus 2018 were the most excited, since they never got such a high position before
It’s been a while, but fun fact, the UK has produced the most runner ups in the history of Eurovision, with sixteen of them and 5 winners.
I will never tire of hearing 'Royaume Uni, douze points'
@@neilonaniet no we heard it 6 times
I thought they said Romania the first time. 😂
I really couldn't believe my ears when I first heard it!
Hopefully we will hear it this year
My favorite part was the whole British delegation acting all confused when they received the 12 points from France and Belgium.😂
It’s because at school we’re taught the word Angleterre MORE than Royaume-Uni
😂😂😂
I chucked when no one from the UK delegation could follow what the French spokespersons were presenting and they were the last to know they got the 12 points 😆
Hahaha that was one of my favourite moments of the night.
Belgian
@@CasualUmami Yes, the Belgian and French spokespersons presented in the French language.
I see Americans are not the only ones to not be able to speak more than one language
@@rafapetterson3750 We are like the only monolingual country rip
I was stunned when France gave us 12 points. Unexpected, but very very grateful.
It’s the sixth time they’ve given us 12! Previously in 1975, 77, 89, 95 and 97.
Kinda surprised we did for us too but to be fair your jury gave us 12 points last year! Just means Sam really was amazing this year and deserved his ranking and also that maybe we don't hate each other as much as we think we do 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Look at what happens when you send good songs :P
we had given them 12 points the year before
Tres bean
I'm praying this is the start of a new era for us and not just an anomaly. Everyone is so proud of Sam!!
It'll be reeeeally hard for you guys to top Sam's voice, but yes; a new era with good songs, entertaining performances and good singers is what we want from the UK now! :P
Congrats, UK friends! I always wondered why you guys never placed that well. You guys are the county that brought the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Adele, etc. You got endless talent and made significant musical history, so for me as a German Eurovision fan it was a bit upsetting to watch UK not doing that well but I’m so relieved and happy that you did so well this year. Congrats and keep it up, friends ❤️
We're all proud of him. What a great artist!
U need to understand that ur nation is probably more hated than America in Europe, I mean, who really likes UK? Even British don't like it...
I think this is our Anouk moment, we won’t win instantly but I wouldn’t be shocked if we win within the next 5 years. TaP have absolutely changed the game for our entries and I hope they partner with the BBC for many more years to come
God, I hope this puts an end to our whole "We can't win at Eurovision, everyone hates us, wah wah wah" routine. It turns out, guys, if you just submit a song that isn't complete ass, you'll do well! Crazy, I know!
It's always been a weird take since in the last years Germany has been doing just as bad as the UK, even though its foreign politics is very different.
You realise this is because of how much we've helped Ukraine? This is short term, it will be back to normal next year.
So true! Congratulations from Berlin. Sam also won our ❤
@@GiraffeFeatures Counterpoint: both Israel and Russia have done very well in the past few years, notwithstanding the latter's ban of course, and if anything they're even less popular than us. Also, other countries helped Ukraine far more readily than we did; we dragged our feet, especially when it came to taking in refugees. People are always dismissing the voting, saying it's all politics, but the inconvenient truth is that the songs do actually matter, and always have.
Good song and singer
This is only one of the very very rare instances where everyone is rooting and proud for the UK XD
Aw come on… it’s down to a great song and actually taking it seriously. At long last, the UK got it. Shame it took over 20 years!
My husband:
"We won't get points from the French at Eurovision, this is all political and everyone knows that they can't stand us."
*12 points to the United Kingdom*
".......................oh. Ok then."
Had the same conversation with my mum!
It was very similar with my family, I was in my grandmother's home on vacation with my parents when we were watching it, we were already amazed at how surprisingly well we were doing and when Germany, France and Belgium announced their voting we all were thinking there is no way they are giving us 12. When they announced it, my mother burst out laughing and I was literally like WHATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was my Grandma with Germany
The fact we heard the UK 12 points in both English and French in one night is just Amazing!! EIGHT TIMES no less. Let's hope we keep it up for next year
Le royaume uni douze poi 👍
As a Brit this was so emotional and I was so overjoyed, the UK really hasn't done that well in Eurovision since I've been born (2005) so it was amazing to finally see us do amazingly, thank you so much Europe for 2nd place
UK came 5th back in 2009. This is second time in your lifetime that UK did well
I like how we thought we had a few fluke 12 points and then slowly but surely we realised we were getting a genuine lead. And so many countries voted for us that never normally do. I still can’t believe it all happened 😂
We listened to the Jury Final from the Friday on the press stream and everyone was moved to tears. It was at that point we knew he would win that.
That's what happen when you bring a good song and a good artist instead of a useless song with a useless artist (just like all the songs from 2010 to 2021)
@@giovanniscg8540 exactly! For ages, the thought has been "no-one will vote for us, all the voting is just political, so why bother trying." Sam has proven that mentality wrong
Ya'll seriously thought my country (Sweden) won so many times because we're fairly neutral, but guys... we sent ABBA and co 😂
It was so chaotic seeing UK flip their shit out because they’re seeing all the 12 points. Sam Ryder is really just that talent and the song, oh so good. So y’all’s deserve it
yeh and the fact his song he performed this time was actually better than our contesting act hurt my soul
i love the moment at 1:04 where nobody in the uk delegation can understand any french to realise they got 12 again lmfao
We did as well as we did because we sent a singer there who WANTED to be there, with an amazing song.
12 points from France and Germany 🤯 I nearly spat out my drink. Is this real life 😂
Genuine shock but hugely grateful 🙏
@@markohenry5891 Oh I do love Barbara from Germany, she's fabulous and the fact she said "Great Britain" instead of "United Kingdom" - what a queen!
@@callumwright2085 She's so happy to do this every year. Bless her. She has do much love for the ESC, it's so nice to see.
I voted for the UK quite often. Especially when I felt sorry for SuRie in 2018. I'm also really pleased that points have finally been scored after disastrous years. Normally it's always a neck-and-neck race with us Germans and the UK in the last place.
Greetings 🇩🇪🇩🇪
I'm watching this now after the depressing results of 2023.
This is such a British thing, for years we have not been able to crack Eurovision. We find a genuine superstar singing in his shed, who happily goes to the competition, understands a black jumpsuit covered in silver diamanté is not over dressed and everyone who meets him loves him. He was like a bottled version of the UKs love of Eurovision and the rest of Europe loved it.
Im spanish and i love to see your commentator had the same vibes and energy as ours, so funny to hear them get excited.
who is your commentator ? I'd love to listen, i'm studying spanish and would love to hear more people with the same energy our graham norton has ! un abrazo del reino unido
The German commentator has a very similar vibe so maybe it's something all of them have in common!
@@lel1160 Tony Aguilar and Julia Varela!
I still wish Rigoberta had gone through. I loved that song. it was so eurovision. ❤
@@phoenix0477 same
I'm living for Graham's happy cry-laughter :D Time to give the UK more points so we can continue to be blessed
@MinMinn192 it’s called the ugly cry where you laugh so hard you cry
Why on earth was Mae Muller selected... I really thought this was gonna be THE comeback for us.
I just wanted us to be on the left hand side 😭
Sam Ryder went into the contest very wholesome and radiated positive energy, and didn't disparage the UK, nor the Eurovision Song Contest itself. He's also backed by a great production with TaP music who clearly understood the assignment rather than BBC taking the helm completely. I hear TaP music will again do Eurovision next year so this kind of trend will continue, a top 10 finish next year would be just as amazing!
It's been confirmed now that TaP are doing our selection again. I'm so excited! I hope they really pull through. Something tell's me we need to stick to the rock/pop style as it's the best we've had since 1998. We also came 1st in the public vote for JESC and 5th place in the jury. We are finally climbing the ESC. BBC sure did select a good song for JESC but for some reason, it didn't go right for ESC 2021 lol Kinda glad TaP have control of that for us!
well… we didn’t quite get top ten…..
L
Didn't go too well in 2023 🤣
@@itsjxomusicthis comment aged like milk
What a character development since 2021 😂🤣
This was utterly surreal watching this live
"We never got interviewed in the green room" OMG
“They never talk to us and now they’ve done it twice” 😂
The German announcer lady is GORGEOUS!
Last year the UK's jury gave us 12 points and this year ours did the same! We are disappointed by our own results but I'm still so happy for Sam and the UK! Well deserved guys 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Absolutely loved the moment our jury and Belgium's gave you our 12 points in French and everyone became so confused lmao, most memorable moment of the night for me
Yes! That was hilarious! I'm in London and I told my ten year old to listen out for "Royaume Uni" just in case. We don't hear it very often at Eurovision these days! 🤣🧡
Also, I think you were really unlucky. The France song was fantastic. I suspect the running order didn't help, but mostly I think you were unlucky in that a lot of the people who might have voted for France because they appreciate the folk/modern mix vibe probably voted for Ukraine instead. In an ordinary year, I think France would have placed much higher.
France's song and performance was fantastic, it deserved to be way, way higher! 🇨🇵
@@russetmantle1 thank you for your kind message! We received a lot of support from non french people towards our song after the final results were announced, we really do appreciate it! Sam was truly amazing, hopefully next year will be different for us and remain the same in terms of ranking for you❣️
Europe clearly doesn’t like the big nations as Germany, France, UK and Spain always down at the bottom. It means you have to produce a really killer song and even then it’s not always enough. It’s time that we stopped funding Eurovision and qualified like everyone else
What I'm really glad about is that Sam's song is actually really good, it's not overrated at all
To keep the momentum going it's time the UK treated this show with respect because every other country it is an honour to represent their homeland while we use it as comedy fodder.
Not any more! There will be loads of UK artists wanting to take part now. And the company that found Sam will find another great prospect next year. Just you watch. 😁
I think it’s more tongue in cheek!
Second place is absolutely outrageous considering how badly we've done on average in the past 20 years.
We didn't win, but right up until Ukraine's public vote was announced, we actually believed we might!!
Well done to Sam and everyone who came together to put this great song up for Eurovision. Long may it reign. WE ARE BACK!
Well any other year UK might have won. But Ukraine simply has too much of the world sympathy today for anyone else to win...it is as if Usain Bolt was competing against some crippled Corgi puppy. Even Bolt knows that he cannot win this.
Come on now. We did win really. We were the real winners.
If Ukraine just stood on stage in total silence and did absolutely nothing, they’d still have won. They were always going to be the winners last year whatever happened
I bet Sir Terry was watching down with a wry happy smile.
Our 16th second place I wasn’t alive the last time that happened so this is the best result of my lifetime and I am so happy
This still doesn't feel real!!!
We last won the year I was born, and I didn't start watching until 2012, so I've experienced a LOT of negativity around our chances...and of ALL the countries that Ukraine could have given their 12 points to - I still burst into tears every time!
❤❤❤
Kateryna Pavlenko was doing that broadcast from a bomb shelter under one of the metro stations, green-screened backdrop to put Maidan behind her.
Eurovision is serious in Ukraine, think you'd stop us participating Huilo,... think again.
Voted for UK!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧 I'm so happy for you 💙 love from Finland
"If you're just joining us, no, that's real."
We got points! We got points!
00:09 this was literally me at home. I was crying so much 😂
One of the best nights of my life
AJ: We're coming to you live from Greater Manchester. Get in!
Meena (as all of Northern England): I knew you wouldn't let me down.
😂😂😂
"This is not a sketch!"😂😂
I remember listening to Space Man before I knew this was for Eurovision! I was so excited for Sam Ryder! He made history for us! Big things are coming for him!
From the last years zero to this years hero. 🇬🇧
You know the UK did well that year when even France was giving them 12 points! 😄
I love the Austrian guy how he pops the fizz,he then says " our 12 points go to".. United Kingdom 😂. he was celebrating the 12 with us
Well done sam,and congratulations
And thank you to all the countries who gave us the 12 points
❤️❤️❤️
I'm Still in shock.
I'm german and you guys really deserved it i absolutely love the song but how could you leave us alone down there 😭😂
We love you Germany. Best friend last place 4ever xxxxx
We came back down dw
@@marcoosaurus lmao welcome back
😂😂 this thread killed me
Shout-out Graham Norton who so deserved this after all the years he's spent putting on a brave face as the UK bombed over and over again. They got more 12's in 2022 than they had in all of Graham's previous Eurovisions combined, PLUS it was the first time he witnessed them getting more than one in a single night - first time that's happened since 1998!
Any one watching this feel better after this year
Even now this still gets me emotional. Ive been rewatching the jury vote many times with grahams commentary. Ive never been more prouder of what the BBC has produced at eurovision. I hope our luck continues ❤
Love the United Kingdom from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤🇬🇧
Thanks for the 12 points, even if it was technically an aggregate! It’s the thought that counts!
@@SuperJNG18 yes, doesn't matter, also Azerbaijan gave 8 points by televoting
@@elvinhacizade1752 No matter how you slice it, Azerbaijan has taste (especially since your televote gave 12 to Ukraine, a very worthy winner!)
@@SuperJNG18 haha
Props for editing Farage in there, about the only time I'm pleased to see him 😏
this shows that it was never about the UK itself but solely about the low quality songs
Still dissapointed that Australia & Greece juries gave us nothing. Still amazed by France & Germany. What a night it was. Still buzzing!
Why surprised? German here. Sam‘s song was amazing and deserved it 🤗 Great song, artist and performance. Keep it up friends 🤗 Maybe it will be London 2024 :)
@@alexsghostcookie8142 think I was surprised because we usually end up with very little. Hope Germany do a uk next year. Rise towards the top.
Yeah I noticed that also and was a bit salty about it at the time now I'm over it but come next year I will be telling everyone about it no doubt😄
Same!
Still dont get why Australia are in the EUROPEAN song contest!
I love how Sam started screaming "we got points" after ukraine gave them 12 points
he'd get nine more douze points
Considering it was the UK's first 12 points in FIVE YEARS (the last 12 was given to Lucie Jones by Australia in 2017), I wouldn't blame him
Didn't Nigel Farage say that the UK should withdraw Eurovision because it will never receive a good placing due to politics?
I wonder what he's thinking now?
I was in the arena rooting for the UK and Portugal in the final (I HAD been rooting for San Marino, but...alas. We'll get 'em next year!) and I swear it felt like I was dreaming, losing my mind with excitement as I jumped up and down with my British flag and shook hands with the Ukrainian guy sitting behind me after that first 12. I wasn't at all disappointed since Ukraine were spectacular and absolutely deserved to win (I totally think they could have no matter what their current situation is, but that's another story for another day), and more than that, the UK should be absolutely over the moon at this result. First in the jury vote and second overall! I was in the arena for Tel Aviv and watching at home for Rotterdam and the idea of the UK getting this kind of result would've sounded like lunacy back then. Now, it's a reality. Go on then, lads! Keep the momentum going for 2023! Much love from an American fan in NYC.
Sam is amazing, he totally deserved this
And back to reality in 2023
We won't be seing this again in a very long time.
Soooo proud of Sam. He is such a talented singer
If not for Russia, UK probably would've taken first this year. Imagine going from 0 to winning in a year, haha.
I think Spain would've won
Verissimo! E poi dicono che quella guerra non condiziona le piccole cose!!!
0 to 466 - never would have thought it... maybe 10 max lol
@huarsum personally preferred the uk but u can't deny chanel's vocal stability whilst doing all that hard hitting choreo was insane. don't let the simps and the @ss distract u from the fact that she was prbly the best performer there
Sending a good song, helps, Gomace :P
When I watched this an we kept getting points I was litteraly screaming, I didn’t know what to do with myself I was litteraly so happy
*this is actually happening, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a sketchshow*
Love this! Not tired of seeing it AT ALL! Well done Sam!! 🚀
whenever in future you are feeling a bit low.... just watch this to cheer you up !
Ohmygod this is the exact video I'm looking for. Congrats UK!!!
I remember watching in disbelief 😂 I thought we would do good but not basically win 🎉
When I heard both France and Germany gave us 12 points, I nearly spat my drink out ....amazing!!!
A Brit with a Ukrainian flag! You must’ve had a good night!
Belgium, France, Austria and Germany all giving the UK 12 points was a weird moment 😂
@@darrenpimlott Less so for Austria as up to the late 90s we used to get a good vote from Austria.
I am from Belgium, but I really felt proud of Sam! Such personalities we need more in eurovision, and I was so happy for you guys you managed to get an amazing result
As I watched the Jury vote I couldn't stop thinking about what Graham might be thinking. Amazing job guys! Sam was my winner and 2nd place is- considering the last 15 years, absolutely amazing
Watching this on the night was such a dream.
I was so emotional tbh.
I still think we really won the entire thing though lol.
So glad we are hosting for urkrain though and I know we will smash it out the park
Nothing will beat the feeling of watching this live after years of being in the bottom half of the leaderboard!
Terry Wogan is up there celebrating with us xx
Anyone else using this as fuel to get pumped for the world Cup 😂 after the euros and now this I'm starting to think we aren't total failures
Don't worry, we'll find some way to ruin it all
@@InvisibleTower No I think we have a truly special team right now and were only a penalty away from winning the euros. Southgate is a smart guy, he will learn from this and maybe won’t bring on kids to take pens when they’ve not even had a chance to kick the damn ball yet
lol. Maybe Brexit was a good thing after all😬
Seen this like 50 times now. Such a legendary performance! 🎉❤🎉
What happened! I remember the late great Sir Terry saying of Gemini when they did so bad 'Send the gun boat and get them out' well we didn't need the gun boat this year, many congratulations to Sam on a great performance.👽🥰
awww i so wish sir terry wogan (uk commentator for many years) got to see or even voice over this years ESC we all stand with ukraine but my god sam you smashed it love to akk from the united kingdom
I celebrated every 12 points that night, Was so happy
Let's hope we can keep up the weapon deliveries until ESC 2023!
I still can't believe my country came 2nd, we probably won't see that for a while again although this year we know we definitely won't come last!
I cried so hard that we did so well, was so confident in Sam and he did us proud! Ill never forget!
Deserved every point. Love Sam Ryder.
This will be my comfort video for some time to come.
The uk was the winner sam made my country very proud 👏
I think a few factors played in why Europe voted for us this year 1 : The song was fantastic but also I think the fact we stand with Ukraine on the war in Russia ! I think that sends a clear message to Europe that Britain will never let a European country stand alone.
Omg 😆 I could watch this and watch this over and over!!!Sam is the greatest ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love how happy they are and think it’s funny how they chant “WE GOT POINTS! WE GOT POINTS!”
I wish that we could see more of Sam's reactions he was always pushed back
I smile every time I watch this
So glad to see this
So finally UK decided to send a good song, and see what happens.
That Belgian fella is awesome
This edit is EVERYTHING
I’m still not over this 😢
We love u, englishmen - never forget: Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin...
We listened them even in USSR!!
Or even 'back in the USSR'! I still think it's a crying shame Alla Pugacheva didn't win - she's a goddess.
Thank you so much everyone 💗
I have not recovered from this evening.... Thanks for the reminder... One day it will sink in😍
I was at a Eurovision party in England when this happened - people were screaming and jumping, drinks and food were flying around - no one could believe it! Thank you Sam 🇬🇧❤ xx
Proper enjoyed the final. It almost came home...again. proper proud of Sam
Germany: "12 points to Great Britain!" Northern Ireland: "Well fuck my drag"
This was like a fever dream 😅 will never forget this
