I'm gonna be that guy. It's not a singing competition, it's a song competition.
What's the difference?
@@constantinstanca9224
Singing competition = best singing (voice)
song competition = best song
I think that many non-Europeans cannot really appreciate Eurovision because they are too addicted to what is given by the mass media. It's not American Idol, thankfully. These aren't just English songs, thankfully. They are not famous singers but that does not mean that they are not good. The songs often, even if modern, contain in the text and musically what is tradition of their country. It is not flattening towards the American model but honoring one's roots. however the Maneskin have been successful thanks to Eurovision, I also mention Abba and Celin Dion. It goes beyond competition, it is a way of making your country known and getting to know others. I am Italian, I get along a little with English, but I prefer when the singers express themselves in their mother tongue, this year in addition to the piece of Ukraine I liked the Portuguese, the French and the Dutch one, I enjoyed it the Moldovan one. I was sorry that Italy's performance was not up to par, because instead in Sanremo Blanco and Mahmood had been great. I recommend everyone to look for our Sanremo festival, which inspired Eurovision.
I'm not European and I love ESC!! ❤
Hey, dont trash Verka Serduchka! It got 2nd place, so maaaany voted for them! :D it's now a Eurovision classic.
Finland was actually the winner in 2006, when Lithuania sang that "We Are the Winners of Eurovision". It was our first (and so far only) win. We were singing this all the time after that, so much fun. 😅🎉😅
I remember watching news on tv that evening with a report from Finland where people were singing it in the streets.
FloRida and Katrina (Katrina and the Waves) participated in Eurovision. They are Americans with Katrina and the Waves winning the 1997 contest. Technically some American artists can be invited to rep a country for Eurovision but no to USA actually joining the contest.
Malik Harris who represented Germany this year is half American.
Krystian Ochman is also half American, Justin Timberlake did an interval act in 2016 and Madonna did an intervalact in 2019(interval acts are acts when the songs have all been shown and the televote is busy)
@@flopjul3022 Madonna's performance was so bad... she couldn't sing at all. All the songs before her were sung better. Good thing Madonna didn't have to get points.
Portuguese here 🇵🇹
Most non-europeans think eurovision as some weird ass song tv contest. It's very political and an awesome show with amazing memes (as you saw in this video 🤣)
Australia participates cuz eurovision is one of most watched shows there (and they always need more audience and funds)
Fun fact: Canada confirmed it's going to participate in 2023
No, Canda is not competing in 2023. Canada is getting THEIR OWN Eurovision-style contest in 2023 like the US did this year, but they are NOT competing in the main competition. Literally one fake news site reported the information about the Canada comp incorrectly and now people are just spreading it without fact checking. You'd think the fact the EBU literally never said that would be the tip off it was wrong.
Australia is also a associate member of the EBU(European Broadcasting Union) basically if you are part of that and have a big audience you can participate(Israel joined because it has a lot of herritage in Europe since it was for a long time occupied by the French and then the British)
@@flopjul3022 yeah, you're right, but there are associative members that don't participe on eurovision
Oh hell nah, who'd want Canada in EUROvision?
Canada isn’t in Eurovision. They have their own one. That’s for the provinces of canada
Papá…Si queres saber que es Eurovisión, que no te lo explique un gringo.
Miralo vos mismo, tiene mucha calidad.
Eurovison it is the moment of my year !
The fun thing about trolls entries is that they can either almost win or come dead last, they are either serious entries with a joking flair, or just a country that really doesn’t want to win and sends straight up trash. Though the one thing they have in common is that they make Eurovision a fun thing to watch.
Some examples of succeeding/failing troll songs :
The song Dancing Lasha Tumbai by Verka Serduschka (the example of tactics) and also the Russian grandmas both came second place.
On the other hand there are troll songs like I don’t feel hate by Jendrik (Germany 2021) or Eat your veggies by I can’t remember the name (Latvia 2022) which either were pretty much last in the final (since Germany auto qualifies) or don’t qualify at all
I ❤️ Eurovision !
Amigo I gotta say, Eurovision is the best. There's so much being said in those performances and the continent is one - at least for one hell of a night where everyone is welcome regardless preferred pronouns. A night of unity :) Greetings from Finland a todos!
Verka Serduchka, the drag queen covered in metal and mirrors ranked 2nd in Eurovision 2007 where she represented Ukraine and toured the world with her single Dancing Lasha Tumbai. She also starred as a cameo in the movie Spy with Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Jason Statham.
She's one of the campest and most beloved contestants of Eurovision.
I advise you to watch both the Peace Peace Love Love self-parody song of Eurovision by Eurovision (2015 edition if I recall correctly) and this year's (2023) edition.
You should react to songs as well!! There are many great songs... You can start checking them out by firstly watching "Eurovision 1956-2022 all winners"
I would recommend you check the top 5 of 2022. They where all really good.
Eurovision has morphed into totally addictive Eurotrash, but you have to remember that it also launched ABBA and Riverdance!
Lithuania's 6th place in the 2006 eurovision was the highest place Lithuania has ever gotten
Tbh the Romanian entries range from bizarrely interesting to the crazy good Dark Horse/underdog that never wins.
Cuz politics and less friends to vote for us.
We rarely have duds.
Same thing with Moldova. Underrated hits.
i dont think Treneletui was underrated tho?
If you like, do a reaction on all the winners of eurovision song contest! There is a video with all the winners on youtube
I think only Americans wants to see the trolls. Real eurofans want to see performers that take the contest seriously. The most expected things are amazing performances, lyrics-wise songs, great voices, some cultural elements and native languages (since lots of countries prefer sing in English)
Ehhhhh, the meme ones are my highlight each year
Most Eurovision fans vote for those meme songs. 😬
@@kennyv47 Arcade isn´t a meme song
@@karlssonjlam I am not talking about Arcade
Escogiste un muy mal ejemplo para saber qué es Eurovisión, si es verdad que existen ocasiones en las que los países no se toman un muy en serio el festival, pero este vídeo trata de recopilar todas las "jokes entries" cuando existen realmente muy buenas canciones a través de todos los años, me gustaría que si existe una próximas vez, lo vieras desde otra perspectiva, donde si se ejemplifiquen otro tipo de canciones y no solo las de broma.
Gracias por tu comentario. Era muy necesario. Yo pienso igual que tú.
Greenland is not an independant country, its still a Danish territory. Kinda hard to compete in an international competition when you are not in fact a nation.
This video is honestly pretty out of date in terms of representing the modern competition. He's describing it how it used to be in the 2000s-early 2010s, which is when it was at its absolute worst in terms of quality. Countries take it a lot more seriousy now, and troll acts are no where near as common as they used to be (they have to genuinely be funny or bops in order to even make the final, like Norways entry this year).
Greenland is not a country, it belongs to Denmark
Countries like Australia, Morocco or Israel compete (or competed, Morocco only once in 1980) in Eurovision because they belong to EBU, there is no rule that country must be from Europe, there is a rule that country must belong to EBU (or at least be in range of broadcast for EBU)
Australia was the weirdest one, but Eurovision was popular in Australia since the 80's, so in 2015 they asked them if they want to compete once, but they made it so good that EBU decided they can stay and compete every year
Oh, and one more thing - the troll era (2000's and early 2010's) is long gone, now there are 75% songs every year that are great performances, 1 or 2 trolls and the rest are mediocre pop songs
I recommend to listen to all songs od 2021 or 2022, you won't be disappointed
Non-europeans cannot understand pur tastes and choices.
You should reacta to a real competition following it full to maybe somewhat start to understand it.
There is the storical and political side to it too, non europeans have difficulties with that too.
I know im a bit late but you shoud react to Ultimate Eurovision Guide
America should compete once and get destroyed by the televoting
Like UK last years!
To get an idea what Eurovision is you could just watch Kaarja Cha Cha Cha. That's something you didn't know exist but once exposed you could not live without it. Or maybe you'll just hate it.
Just for fun, here are some Romanian Eurovision gems you should check out:
- Zaleilah
- Yodel It
- Its my life
- Tornero
- Miracle
- De la Capăt
- Let me try
- On a sunday
- Goodbye
- Dracula my love (sadly disqualified)
Liubi Liubi I love You is also a must see bop.
That was awesome 😁 You should react to some more Eurovision to get a better feel of it. Maybe pick a year, or watch some kind of ranking!
Como en todo, Estados Unidos arruinaría la competición. Como esté americano, que literalmente se ha cagado en la competición, porque al fin y al cabo, pueden haber actuaciones trolls, pero siempre ha ganado calidad, hasta el punto de dar visibilidad a estrellas como Celine Dion que ganó en 1988 y ABBA, que ganó en 1974, cuando nadie les conocía. Eurovision es mas que las actuaciones que SOLO ha puesto este tipo, todos los años, casi todos los países mandan canciones en su propio idioma, y con su propia identidad o etnia, en definitiva, es una competición hecha y fundada para UNIR, no para crear confrontación que es básicamente lo que quiere hacer casi siempre los Estados Unidos.
Literal solo puso lo malo, el año pasado por ejemplo los ganadores maneskin lo petaron en Estados Unidos
No I dont want USA to be in Eurovision.However I would like to see Eurovision winners and American Song Contest winners as guest on the shows.
Mexico would be a fun addition you could exchange 12 points with Spain like my country (Cyprus) does with Greece and get booed xD
You should check out:Konstrakta - In Corpore Sano .It's from Eurovision.
It is garbage, sorry man.
@@YamiAi kind of😅
🇮🇪 Ireland and 🇸🇪 Sweden 7 time winner and 7 time host nation at the ESC.
Just got this video recommend I know i'm late XD
to be honest i don't think you really understand it. As a person who lives in Europe and knows Eurovision is mostly like a small (let's call it) a festival/party you enjoy with family or friends.
The non-European countries that are competing like Israel and such, are countries connected/associated by some kind of trade laws, other laws, ... . We let Australia enter because it is really popular over there and they loved it, we love them back equally.
What people forget is that Greenland is not Europe, Iceland is.
Let's be clear not all songs are weird or trash, there are pretty good songs that aren't shown and yes we still have the troll countries but they lessened over the years. The world would never have known ABBA, Johnny Logan, Celine Dion, Duncan Laurence, Maneskin, Sunstroke project (ft. Olia Tira), Sam ryder, jesse matador, Lena,.... without the ESC. But of course we like a bit of trolling, it's what makes ESC fun.
No we don't want America to compete, they would make a mess of it. And most artists are unknown before competing, known artists competing normally get really bad points though. (except for Johnny Logan who won ESC three times)
What people forget is beside that it's like a huge party, song lyrics do matter (because that was what ESC stand for the winnings go to the songwriter not the performer unless you are the writer of your own song), performance does matter too. It doesn't have to be catchy to win.
It used be that countries had to sing in their own languages, but that rule has been scrapped, you can sing in whatever languages you want. Mostly choose english or french because that are the languages most people in Europe understand, but there are still performances in own language.
I hated it when Lithuania came with that song, that was too mucH.
Also a Geography Now Moldova (or Romania) reaction would be cool.
Dunno if you did it before (Doesnt appear in the YT search) so lemme know.
I’ll definitely do them bro, been wanting to do a reaction to our fellow Romance language nation for a while
@@elchopo99 Ah, now I remember. I did recommend those to a Slovene bro named Ancient Freak. He already saw them so I had an accidental Deja Vu moment here..
Hell no to the US competing they just don't get it and half of the commentators that make me want to throw things at them have been Americans including the wanker who said that there were twenty 'infinitely better' songs than one of my favourite winners the year it competed. They wouldn't take losing to fun entries or experimental arty ones or just ones that aren't like the stuff they heard in the charts as kids well.
Greenland is part of Denmark along with the Faroe islands so technically they are in the contest.
non-europeans always make the same two mistakes when talking about eurovision:
1) it's not a singing competition, it's an original song competition.
2) you're taking it wayyyyy to seriously (or you're taking yourselves too seriously - idk) & look at it through the very American competitive perspective that us Europeans like to roll our eyes about all day long.
Eurovision is crazy, campy and a big party - one night where we all just enjoy the show & forget about the rest. It's supposed to be fun and most non-Europeans are wayyyy to eager about the competition part. Relax.
1:48 Greenland is not a country, it's part of Denmark.
Dancing Lasha Tumbai es una de las canciones mas icónicas de Eurovisión, es rara? si, pero ese es el punto, en Eurovisión, un festival que se celebra cada año, las canciones popi comunes quedan pegadas por lo mismo, son muy olvidables.
Remember Australia is UK part 2
USA is too privileged for this contest. Australia, Mexico, Canada - why not.
Aunque eres muy joven para haberlo conocido, pregunta a tus padres por el Festival de la OTI. Eurovisión es lo mismo pero no ha dejado de celebrarse.
Similar por la competencia musical entre países, no por la calidad del evento ni la trascendencia. Eurovisión está a años luz afortunadamente en todos los aspectos (técnicos, musicales y televisivos) , por eso sigue triunfando después de 60 años. OTI, en cambio, desapareció.
Definitely don’t want the US to participate but I’d like to Mexico participate in a anniversary year, maybe for the 75th contest
No, thanks! Only European and classic countries.
Ese video, cargado de clichés y de tópicos, no refleja todo lo que Eurovisión realmente ofrece. La mayoría de los ejemplos musicales que aparecen en el video son lo peor de la Eurohistoria. Las propuestas artísticas que participan son más variadas y tienen más calidad que toda esa bazofia que mostraron. Los resultados hay que relativizarlos y contextualizarlos con su época y con la competencia del momento. Hay un sector de la población que tiene muchos prejuicios hacia el evento, sobre todo si los resultados no acompañan, pero afortunadamente Eurovisión goza de una salud envidiable, por algo lleva más de 60 años triunfando y siendo el programa de tv, no deportivo, más visto en el mundo, superando incluso en audiencias a la Superbowl.
Please can you react to drew durnil i have ask you on stream😕
we love Australia!!!
There is an American Song Contest this year, Won by a singer called AleXa representing Oklahoma (if i remember correctly...) and if america entered with that, i think europe will respect it and it will be fine, just don't send megastar for the contest and most likely will be fine
LOL I think the public vote would absolutely destroy America. Move over Germany/UK (yeah I know this year they did great but usually) there’s a new 0 points candidate
Also the grand finale for Eurovision is live right now...
Hope Moldova wins...
EDIT: Im ok with Ukraine winning though...
Shouldve been higher than UK or Spain though...
DOUBLE EDIT: WE GOT ROBBED... they withheld Romania's points from Moldova. Its a scandal...
That Geography Now video is pretty bad, based on (sometimes incorrect) hearsay, and focusing entirely on all the negatives. Yes, it's often cheesy, there are troll songs, and some of the voting is political (but rarely impacting the top 5). But it's also a really big event, with amazing staging, a very long history, top artists (like Abba or Celine Dion), that opened doors for the LGBTQ community. And while some genres were definitely more prominent, there has been an amazing variety of music over the years.
the guy expresses a lot of baseless opinions. The 5 with automatic right are those that contribute in a conspicuous way to the realization of the event. Maybe some of their choices turned out not to be up to par but what about France both this year and last year? They were two fantastic performances. And Chanel for Spain? the German song would have deserved more, the choice of English perhaps did not help. For Italy I quote Zilli, I Volo, Mahmood and the Maneskin. And England did it this year.,
Right! UK, FR, IT, ES and DE pay the largest sums to the EBU (European Brodcarsting Union). They also have by far the most spectators at the event. That's why these countries should always be in the final. They also have a harder time scoring since they have fewer "friends" who give them a lot of points. Just like the Scandinavians among themselves, or the states of the former USSR and former Yugoslavia. Ultimately, however, good music always prevails and the songs end up at the top of the rankings.
Nope!!
I'm think it's hilarious that We Are the Winners is probably now stuck in your brain.
Desde hace unos años el concurso de Eurovisión no se puede tomar en serio, y eso es lo q hacen muchos países, se lo toman a broma
Wrong
Most Countries take the competition serious
Cómo quién? Podrías dar ejemplos del porque? En lo personal con el dineral que se gastan dudo que lo hagan de broma.
Te quedaste en el 2008
Eso no es verdad
@@albert-red7571 y como explicas las payasadas extramusicsles q se ven allí?
Eurovision is basically a contest full of appropriation. It's also very political and problematic.
Which is why we love it
It is a great Party and fun. All that political nonsense doesn't matter at all. With that, only the haters and those who lost come.
