Knowing you like heavy music, I bet you'll enjoy Finland, Germany and Australia (this year was one of the best for heavy music in ESC). Also worth checking: Slovenia (also a band, with a feel-good song) and Moldova (for the ethnic vibe and dance battle).
I didnt find Australia that good, feelt like a band that is trying to hard to be "hip with the kids" and the growling shouldmt have been in their song. I liked Germanys, but it should have been sung in german. Finland is my winner
@@lykke The line-up this year overall was very good and someone has to come last. And for hard rock/ metal acts it's super hard to score high at Eurovision, sadly. Heavy music fans voted mainly for Finland this year, I assume because already from February onwards there was this artificial battle in the odds between Sweden and Finland.
This was the closing performance of the winner. She got emotional and used the moment to say thank you to the audience but, you need to watch the semi-final or final performance ;)
He did once rection to lord of the lost and since he liked raining stars I've been wondering if Alex dived more into their discography and what he thinks about their music
You should’ve watched the real performance . This performance is about 5-10 min after she won the whole thing. It’s not at 100% and it’s amazing that she even is able to perform after that big win. The competitive performance was really amazing.
This was Loreens second win in the Eurovision. The song she sang when she won the first time "Euphoria" is amazing. You must listen to it, you're going to love it.
that is the case every year, but rememberr she has to climb into the "panini press" as some smartasses are calling it, and sing on her back, side, knees, while moving like a pilates class LOL
This year the top 4 could not have been more different so really worth checking out. The crowd favourite on th enight was Finland and they also won the public vote. The voting is split into two halves 50% is decided by a jury panel of musical professionals from each country who vote for their top ten and those ten are awarded points. Loreen was well ahead after the jury vote. The public vote then put Finland ahead leaving Loreen to need 187 public votes. She got well over 200 so she took the crown. it is her second win as she took the title in 2012 for Sweden. Many think her song then was better than Tattoo. The Swedish group ABBA were the first band to ever win the contest and next year is the 50th anniversary of that win. Some are heavily hinting Loreens win was fixed so Sweden could host the contest next year. But some vote rigging was attempted a couple of years ago and those countries were called out and their vote disqualified so seriously she won fair and square.
people thinking the contest was rigged bcs of Abba are just sore losers who can't handle the fact that their favourite lost so they are making up fake excuses. Abba isn't even performing next year, and it was clear from the moment Tattoo came out that it would win Eurovision
This was also the first year I really got into Eurovision. Some I enjoyed: Norway, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Germany, Estonia and some others I can't remember. Definitely going to watch next year! Also, Loreen's choreography and being able to still sing to the extent that she showed is pretty incredible. Props to her!
Loreen is incredible and has won Eurovision before in 2012, however a big part of why she won this year was jury votes. The public voted for Finland by about 130 points more than they gave Sweden, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for them to win and they ended up on 2nd place. You should definitely check out Finland's entry, everyone LOVES that guy. Some of my other favorites this year, besides Finland obviously lol, were Norway and Slovenia, hopefully you can listen to those at some point :)
what do you want to say she won because of jury votes? She beat Kaarija with higher margin in jury votes than he did with public votes. Statistically Loreen is way better ranking for the win
ummm.. nope, not everyone LOVES that guy. I thought he was awful. He did pretty much no singing and when he did, the singing was really weak. But the fact that Iceland didn't make it to the final is a crime.
@@nataliakom8310but its NOT about the singing skills, its about The whole Song, appearance, style, feeling. Swedens loreen was cookie Cutter Eurovision from The year 1994 and shouldve not Been The Winner. Spectator votes should weigh More than "professional judges" who prefer neighboring countries really than The actual performers..
@@pukelius4128 Yes, it's about the whole thing and I hated it. The only thing that I found funny was the fake smiles the dancers had. The song was awful for me, the singing was really bad. I simply did not find this performance to be good and deserving of the first place, with so many great songs and performances from other countries. I personally like Loreen's song but I am someone who likes a good emotional song and great vocals. Also, there are some countries who give 12 points to their neighbours but I find it doesn't happen as often anymore. My country (Poland) gave 12 points to Israel and we couldn't be more far apart :D
This was the winners performance that she did at the end after she had won, so there was a lot of (maybe to much 😄) emotion in it. The real performance was more controlled, but still emotional.
I can't believe no one is talking about Serbia, they also didn't get many points.. they were in my top 3! I really enjoyed every aspect of the performance! Finland was also in my top 3, so i'd love to see you react!
If he'd like to see her perform well, he should watch any other than the final performance. It was the worst version of the song I've heard. The more quiet parts were just mumbling, and when she was going for the high powerful notes it was just pure yelling. The studio version is actually good, but she can't get anywhere near that live, and for some reason the final was her worst. Good for her the jury votes are based on the rehearsals on the Friday before the final and not the final performance...
Yeeeeeesss, PLEEEASE check the runner up and other performances! 💜 I think at the end of the day, what people forget is Eurovision is all about music. Like, the winners get nothing but a trophy and the title and that is NOT a guarantee for global success (a la Måneskin or ABBA). I think you said it perfectly: "It was spectacular, it's just not what I expected." I personally think that the more open you are to music, the better time you have with something as magnificent as Eurovision. Cause I absolutely LOVED this song, but there were so many others I loved with the same if not more intensity! Cha Cha Cha (Finland, the runner up), Promise (Australia), Évidemment (France), Queen Of Kings (Norway) and Blood & Glitter (Germany) were some of my faves, alongside Tattoo. 😻😻
You are watching the winning performance, the one she performed right after they announced her as a winner, not the one that she was singing during the competition itself. That's why the confetti
you are actually watching the performance after she won, so emotions are high, the actual contest entry she is more composed. she deserved the win, although Finland was really cool too
@@k.l.7788 she made it, with the help of judges AND the public. I'll help you remember, in case you forgot: Loreen received 243 points from the public, she was in the second place at televotes, not in last place, like y'all sore losers are acting. you should stop being bitter
It's different every year. Sometimes it's a balad, sometimes pop, sometimes rock. As a Swede I 'm proud for sure. But I also LOVED Finland and Norway this year
But for the jury it's pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop.

many swedish rock/metal bands have attempted winning melodifestivalen to get to represent sweden at eurovision but none has succeeded, this year we had smash into pieces getting 3rd place at the melodifestivalen finals with their song six feet under. before smash into pieces, some of the other rock/metal bands that have attempted it at melodifestivalen are mustasch, lillasyster, the poodles and dead by april
@@joebloggs396 well, Zarra said it in an interview. Also the middle finger that she did it’s the typical North African thing. Loreen has amazigh tattoos on her body. It’s just it what it is. You can’t deny your roots. Just don’t be dense
@@sanaa107 dont listen to that, Loreen actually Said this staging was to honour her Moroccan heritage! She talks about it all the time, so be proud as she is of your country ❤😊
You should definitely check out some other songs! Everybody probably already suggested "Cha cha cha"...but it's amazing, so I will too. And Eurovision is for all kinds of music. Maybe you'd like to react to some compilation of most memorable Eurovision moments or any video that explains what Eurovision is? I would definitely like to see that.
I’ve never watched a Eurovision contest before so this is all new to me. The girl that won has a phenomenal voice and her stage performance was beautiful. I thought the song itself was a bit meh, though some of the lyrics were well written. It’s like you said, it’s kinda been done already by Rihanna etc. It’s not “new” and maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel like a winner should. 🤷🏼♀️ I think it would be great if you covered more of the artists that competed to compare performances. I’d like to see that. 👍
You can add to it that this is after they announced she was the winner, and she had to do the act all over again for a last time after all that emotions. Do a solid and check out the melodifestivalen version when she qualified back in sweden.
Eurovision is usually full of pop songs as it's 'public friendly', when I heard that Maneskin won, I was really surprised! This year, they had more heavy-ish songs than the years before. You might enjoy Germany, Finland and Australia
i have a feeling you're gonna LOVE finland's entry, which won the public vote by a landslide. germany and australia might also be up your alley. even though people online are still at war with each other over whether sweden or finland should have won, this year's esc was a great year for (metal) bands :)
I liked her ESC song from 2012 (?) much more. It's called "Euphoria" and Floor Jansen from Nightwish did a great cover of it for the show "Sing my Song".
This LOREEN performance is AFTER she's won, that is why she plays with the song etc... Very PRO to be so composed after all the emotions of the voting. Check out "Euphoria" from 2012.
Fun fact: Her initial performance in the Swedish heats was disrupted by an activist storming the stage. She completely ignored him and just continued her performance, only stopping after the higherups decided to interrupt the number and cut the music. XD She is a real professional and spectacular singer, and she definitely deserved the win. Unfortunately so did the runner-up, and he won the public vote by a landslide, so IMHO he should have won. Do check his song out: Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä (Pronounced "Care-EE-yeah"). I think you'll like it.
This performance is after she was announced as a winner, she totally let herself go and was all in her feels and it made the performance even more spectacular. That little growl at the beginning is everything. She is so so good Also very very much recommended to check out the 2021 winner MAneskin - Zitti E Buoni
Check out Finland's entry that got full points from 18 countries in the televote. Sweden won by jury of 185 people against millions of people who paid and voted for Finland's Käärijä and his song Cha Cha Cha.
Millions and millions of people also voted for Loreen.. She was not that far behind Käärijä in the popular vote... And she won the jury.. Something Käärijä didn't.. So hence he got less points.. (Points are needed to win.. Not votes.. This is not an election...)
@@swedishmetalbear Not far behind??!!! Are you delusional? There was a huge gap because Finland was the landslide winner. Loreen got even less 10 points than Käärijä. CCC got 376 points if I remember correctly and Tattoo somewhere around 220-240. One of the worst public vote scores for a winner ever. Why not admit the facts and try to turn them around?
@@Mari-ok6xg You're conviently forgetting about the jury vote.. Which Loreen won by a landslide.. To win Eurovision Marinainen. You have to win BOTH Jury AND Televotes. Enough whining like little babies now. It is getting OLD.
Not the real winner , but the winner of publicvotes, 4rd in the Juryvotes. Loreen was second in the publicvotes and was 1 in the juryvotes so she won fair cause she had the highest total score 😊
@@Dsdsds346 Which was very shady. There was no justification for her to get double amount of points compared to many incredible performances (like Spain, Israel, Estonia, Italy...). A just winner for jury votes (as they are scoring now), but not with anywhere near that high a margin. And there are loads of disgusting comments from jury members publicly available about Käärijä which obviously show he was not scored professionally but by prejudice from jury members who have no appreciation for different genre music and performances.
You should definitely checkout te song that became unbelievably last: Lord of the Lost from Germany with "Blood and Glitter": Glam meets metal meets dark rock meets 80s meets ... (actually they would have been ranked 25/26 by televoting and 18/19 by juries, if all places would have been counted and not only the first 10 out of 26): ESC is usually pop and folk. Rock and metal is there a niche genre.
The contest is decided between a mix of voting from the judges and the public. This one won due to a landslide judges vote, the public vote was massively in favour of the 2nd place entry from Finland
Eurovision, i assume. Every episode is a concert? Seems like the contestants have record deals already. Looks amazing though. Might have to check out more of the show
You HAVE TO check out finlands "cha cha cha", as a swede i am mad as shit that finland didnt won! He got the most votes from the people but we won because of the judges!
definitely a top 10 song, not #1 though. my number 1 was moldova (pasha parfeni - soarele si luna), if you have time, check it out, it's a great mix of electronic and ethnic elements. i like käärijä's cha cha cha (the one everyone's angry about losing) but i think it's massively overhyped and not just because it's basically a copy of electric callboy and rammstein 😅
Yeah, Moldova's song was so so good ! Nevertheless my number 1 is Vesna from Czech Republic with "My sister's crown", such a powerful song, so so beautiful.
Rammstein's drummer likes "Cha Cha Cha" and Electric Callboy's vocalist, Nico likes it too and he even said that the songs aren't similar at all, except the beginning is little similar, but not the same. And he likes the song too.
each country present 1 entrance ( could be folk, pop, metal, a singer, a band , an orchestra... whatever that country fancies that year. my country sent Blanca Paloma with a flamenco lullaby wit electronic base, you can check. indeed Loreen won and you saw her final performance ( the winner perform again, closing the gala)
You should most definitely check out the runner-up and possibly the bronze medal as well because they all did extremely well and deserve the recognition. If you're feeling like it I would even recommend top 5 because damn, they all did so well
Not going to repeat what a lot of people already said, so I'll say this; if you want to check out something wild from this year's Eurovision, go check out Croatia's entry. It will definitely leave you with more questions than answers.
you should FOR SURE check out the runner-up! finland was amazing and they won the public's voting, however overall it was loreen who got the most points. still finland was incredible and i think you would enjoy the song, also Käärijä is a super nice and funny guy.
She can sing our socks off, but/and the song is produced to perfection/death. It won because jury of music journalists and record label guys wanted to play this on their easy listening pop radio channels. Finland was so much edgier and won the public televote by a landslide.
@Alex Hefner. What you watched was the winners perfomance. Not the actual act. That is because when the winner is announced they do anathor perfomance called the winners perfomance. That why the golden things were there in the end. Both were live. But 1 performance before and 1 after her win. This was after
It is a song contest and it should be all about the song and the singer behind. Surely there were so many songs this year I loved and of course the runner up Finland or even the 15th place Austria or the 5th place Norway.
Theres little time between the songs so confetti isnt allowed as part of the act cause they cant clean the stage on time. So in the end there is confetti for the winner :) Also check the runner ups, and sometimes other finishes get hits too. Armenia's Rosa Lynn ended on rank 8 last year but thanks to tiktok she got a worldwide hit. Estonia;s song of 2023 year was also really good. And i liked Australia.
First Eurovision I’ve watched in over 10 years and that’s purely because it was being held my home city of Liverpool. Normally the winning country hosts it, Ukraine won last year but because of the war it went to the 2nd place which was the UK.
You should also see Finland, they came into the second place. They also won the audience votes The song is Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä. And if you have not heard Euphoria from Loreen, it is better song. With that song she won the Eurovisions in 2012.
I would say check out Blood and Glitter, from Lord of the Lost, it's one of the best songs from the show but came in last place because Germany is almost always in last place
Feel so bad for Germany, they did not deserve the last place at all. I don't get it, like sure last year they deserved the bottom place but this year they are definitely a top 10 for sure so I'm very disappointed in both the jury and in the public for not giving Germany more love.
@Älvdansen I proudly voted for Germany, and how our song "I wrote a song" got more votes I'll never know, Blood and Glitter was one of the best songs of the night
@@alvdansen7172For me UK, Israel and Poland had the weakest and more boring songs. Even though I'm not a big fan of blood and glitter (loving lotl tho) I agree that they didn't deserve last place
You need to check out Finland, Germany and Australia for the rock/metal itch! Also, Finland got more points from the people's votes that sweden, but sweden got more points from the snobs in the jury
Hey Alex. I bet someone mentioned this in the comments already, but gotta add it one more time. In Måneskin's name, the å is a scandinavian o, which is pronounced the same way as the "mon" in the word monster. Even thought the band is Italian, the name comes from Danish and means "moonlight". Just thought to mention it since you said it's one of your favorite bands. :)
The concept of Eurovision is that each qualifying country enters a song. It can be any genre - even traditional/folk/jokey songs. Finland's national music genre is heavy metal, so they usually enter a metal or rock song. You should check out this year's song from Finland. And Germany. Oh and Croatia fir the fun side. Every country has a jury and their votes count for half the votes. The public vote counts for the other half. Utter craziness at its finest!!!
The entire point about eurovision is musical diversity! Rock (and bands) winning is actually quite rare with Måneskin and Lordi being some of the only two rock-adjacent winners. So this year we got a Swedish power pop balled, last year was Ukrainian rap and rolk, then in 2019 it was a pure ballad with Arcade. The genre and vibes of the winner swings drastically each year but the songs competing always has something for everyone to enjoy and that's what makes it so great.
Note: This is the performance after she won, and she's probably somewhat exhausted at this point. The time between her main performance and this one is about 3 hours. Also, the performance won't be as well done due to adrenaline after winning, and the fact there's no stakes in this one, as she's already won. Still phenomenal.
Omg, Alex. Let’s do a full reaction of all the songs. I love your tv and movies channel and I ended up in this video of your other channel. Eurovision + Alex, my two true passions. 😢
In Eurovision every country sends a song, it can be whatever genre they want sometimes a ballad wins sometimes a rock band and this time it was a pop song - you have all kind of music and at the end 50% a professional jury gives points and televotes 😊
I've listened to the whole "Rush!" album from Måneskin probably 15 times in the last week. Eurovision is an "all genre" contest. Check out the other artists, for sure.
Definitely check out at least the top 3 or top 5! 😄 There is a "tiny" bit of a debate going on between the 1st and 2nd places but as a Finnish person I won't go too much into that, let's just say that the jury voted their favourite and audience theirs 😏It's a shame that there was many good songs that didn't even get into top 10. For example Cyprus really surprised me, their song was awesome! The point system has been the same from 2009 I think, at least until this years contest. Every country in Europe has a "jury" that votes their favourite songs and gives them points from 1-10 and a 12 points for their top picks. After that it's revealed from the last place on how much points the song gets from the audience. The placings can change drastically in this second stage but this year Loreen just got too much point from the jury so the audience points weren't enough to get a surprise winner. Or was Loreen the surprise winner? 😉Depends on whom you ask 😄
Eurovision is the most diverse and entertaining show, full of different genres, styles, props, pyro and whatever you can imagine. The winner is chosen 50/50 by the public and a professional jury. They give points from 1 to 8, 10 and 12 and each country can't vote for itself. Basically those are the main rules.
I know you love Electric Callboy so it’s a must for you to check out Finland, the best 2nd place ever. And Germany and Australia are probably also up your ally
It's a good song, but nothing that special in my opinion. I got tired of it pretty fast. But it was a bad year in general. I think you'd like Germany and Finland. Norway was pretty good too. Also this one didn't really get to Eurovision, but check out Jann - Gladiator.
I know it was 5 years ago, but it's more like your style I think so you should check out "AWS - Viszlát Nyár - Hungary - LIVE - Grand Final - Eurovision 2018" too. The Hungarian team AWS's singer Örs passed away not long ago so this song means a lot more to the people in Hungary than just an eurovision song. It doesn't need to be a video or anything, just listen to it if you have the time. Edit: the studio version is obviously better quality but there's more emotion in the live version
You totally need to check out Voyager's entry for Australia. My favourite of the contest. Been one of my fave bands for the last few years. Also, it's a song contest, it's open to ALL genres depending on what each country sends. Finland were second. You might dig it more. But yeah, there were bands involved. Maneskin and Lordi have been the exceptions in bringing rock and metal to the #1 spot. Before Lordi, it really was just pop and folk music really, bits of dance but not really metal. Nik Nocturnal did a little bit on the rockier entries which you might want to check out too.
Not just due to the juries, the _combination_ of the viewers votes and the jury votes. You don't win with just the televotes, or just the jury votes, it's the combination that matters.
@@alvdansen7172 She was not the winner of the viewers/audience, she was their second place. She did not get a single 12 points from them, while she got an insane amount from the juries. They should not count for 50% of the votes. With that being said, my problem is not with Loreen at all, she did great and the song is good too. I just have a problem with the jury deciding a winner instead of the audience/viewers, it is their show.
@@lykke Thats' what I said second place with the public! Reason why she did not get a 12 with the public is probably due to the fact that her public show performance was not as good as her earlier performances. Why she did so well with the jury is because that was probably her best performance she done, I have heard that the jury performance went really well. It's not the exact same performance that is being juged here with the jury as with the public. I also think that people made sure to not vote for Loreen, not because they didn't like her or did not have her as their favorite but because people were not sure I they wanted her to win twice. I saw that Finland gave a 0 vote for Loreen but that was obviously for tactical reasons. They wanted Käärijä to win and I understand that but I believe that even those who loved Loreens song did not vote for Loreen in order to help Käärijä winning. I also think that the smear campainge might have had something to do with the lower public points for Loreen. Loreen also have more public support outside the ESC world and Tattoo is currently the most streamed song of this year form ESC, yes even the more popular than Finland, not to mention she s charting in multible countries and is being #1 at the moment in many countries. That says alot, Tattoo even with the petty ESC-fans are still loved and appriciated in the world. People just want someone else but Sweden to win and yes it's pop from Sweden once again but that does not mean Loreens performance and song don't deserve it's win. Käärijä would have deserved to win too and nothing can take away the love that you and other fans are feeling towards him.
Why is people reacting to this version _after_ she just found out that she has won, when she is goofing around, growling, pointing at people, thanking the audience, and is probably filled with adrenaline and joy and isn't doing her best? I don't get it. Perhaps the title of the video should be better so people understand what they're watching. I feel that it's not fair to judge her on this performance. I think it's better to watch the actual performance. Or even better, watch "Loreen - Tattoo | Sweden 🇸🇪 | Official Music Video | Eurovision 2023" instead. Her singing is better, the stage is bigger and better not this mini version of it, it's live in front of an audience 3 times bigger, the camera angles are better etc.
Definitely check out "Smash into pieces - Six feet under". They lost to Loreen in the swedish Melodi Grand Prix, but is WAY better than Loreen! - it gave me some Hollywood Undead / Linkin Park vibes. Otherwise Käärijä - Cha Cha cha and Soarele Si luna!
Totally agree. Smash into pieces should have represented Sweden this year. As an Estonian I really hoped "Ollie - Venom" represented Estonia. Maybe check out that song.
If you check out the runner up, Finland, please start by forgetting that you ever heard 'We go the moves' by Electric Callboy, otherwise it will just make you disappointed.
Yeah right 😄. Way to try to throw shade which has no basis what so ever. Like actually people who matter, EC themselves have shut down this stupid discussion ages ago.
Eurovision is a contest for the song each country chooses to represent them. It can be any type of song. Maneskin winning was a pleasant surprise for everyone. Especially Italy as they hadn’t won in many many years. Metal is not always a popular genre but its been selected the lasted years and we see it more often in Eurovision. Eurovision made Celine Dion famous so its not for bands. Any artist can participate.
You should really watch places 2,3,4 this year. they were great as well. also, if you really want to understand Eurovision, I suggest you watch the winners of previous years.
Knowing you like heavy music, I bet you'll enjoy Finland, Germany and Australia (this year was one of the best for heavy music in ESC). Also worth checking: Slovenia (also a band, with a feel-good song) and Moldova (for the ethnic vibe and dance battle).
The German track was my favourite even though it was last
@@Chris_Elliot84 Germany deserved better than they got for sure.
I didnt find Australia that good, feelt like a band that is trying to hard to be "hip with the kids" and the growling shouldmt have been in their song.
I liked Germanys, but it should have been sung in german.
Finland is my winner
@@lykke The line-up this year overall was very good and someone has to come last. And for hard rock/ metal acts it's super hard to score high at Eurovision, sadly. Heavy music fans voted mainly for Finland this year, I assume because already from February onwards there was this artificial battle in the odds between Sweden and Finland.
@@Veri183 as a heavy music fan, i find Finland's entry as really, really shitty
This was the closing performance of the winner. She got emotional and used the moment to say thank you to the audience but, you need to watch the semi-final or final performance ;)
or the melodifestivalen semi final performance, it was so much better!
@@sannaspjuth The Swedish semi final performance was the most mesmerising musical and visual performance I have ever seen, period.
You should check out Finland, Germany and Australia
He did once rection to lord of the lost and since he liked raining stars I've been wondering if Alex dived more into their discography and what he thinks about their music
Yes! I was about to comment about checking out Finlands entry for Cha Cha Cha.
That would be a good reaction
That and Moldova as that is prime eurovision insanity.
@@OraloriaGames Moldova hits every year. Especially Żdob şi Żdub
I second
You should’ve watched the real performance . This performance is about 5-10 min after she won the whole thing. It’s not at 100% and it’s amazing that she even is able to perform after that big win.
The competitive performance was really amazing.
You should definitely check Finland's song Cha Cha Cha, it came 2nd in the eurovision final with the most televotes!
Its a wild one
definitely check Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha, that one deserved the win truly
The jury faked it ubd killed the democracy of the ESC
YESSSSSS I had to check his channel to see if he has watched it yet. I'd also give Germany and Croatia a watch too
Yes!! He needs to react to this one.
This was Loreens second win in the Eurovision. The song she sang when she won the first time "Euphoria" is amazing. You must listen to it, you're going to love it.
I'm impressed by her vocals since it's the performance right after she was announced to be the winner she must have so many emotions!!!
that is the case every year, but rememberr she has to climb into the "panini press" as some smartasses are calling it, and sing on her back, side, knees, while moving like a pilates class LOL
This year the top 4 could not have been more different so really worth checking out. The crowd favourite on th enight was Finland and they also won the public vote. The voting is split into two halves 50% is decided by a jury panel of musical professionals from each country who vote for their top ten and those ten are awarded points. Loreen was well ahead after the jury vote. The public vote then put Finland ahead leaving Loreen to need 187 public votes. She got well over 200 so she took the crown. it is her second win as she took the title in 2012 for Sweden. Many think her song then was better than Tattoo. The Swedish group ABBA were the first band to ever win the contest and next year is the 50th anniversary of that win. Some are heavily hinting Loreens win was fixed so Sweden could host the contest next year. But some vote rigging was attempted a couple of years ago and those countries were called out and their vote disqualified so seriously she won fair and square.
Top 5* Norways song was great too
@@p4nd4zur33 Yeah, and keeping in mind it was actually Top3 in televote definitely worth including
people thinking the contest was rigged bcs of Abba are just sore losers who can't handle the fact that their favourite lost so they are making up fake excuses. Abba isn't even performing next year, and it was clear from the moment Tattoo came out that it would win Eurovision
This was also the first year I really got into Eurovision. Some I enjoyed: Norway, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Germany, Estonia and some others I can't remember. Definitely going to watch next year!
Also, Loreen's choreography and being able to still sing to the extent that she showed is pretty incredible. Props to her!
Although lotl is one of my favourite bands I have to say that I enjoyed Estonia the most. Norway was second
@@ironguardian2632LOTL is one of my favourites. I was presented by their music by my music streaming.
Loreen is incredible and has won Eurovision before in 2012, however a big part of why she won this year was jury votes. The public voted for Finland by about 130 points more than they gave Sweden, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for them to win and they ended up on 2nd place. You should definitely check out Finland's entry, everyone LOVES that guy. Some of my other favorites this year, besides Finland obviously lol, were Norway and Slovenia, hopefully you can listen to those at some point :)
what do you want to say she won because of jury votes? She beat Kaarija with higher margin in jury votes than he did with public votes. Statistically Loreen is way better ranking for the win
ummm.. nope, not everyone LOVES that guy. I thought he was awful. He did pretty much no singing and when he did, the singing was really weak. But the fact that Iceland didn't make it to the final is a crime.
@@nataliakom8310but its NOT about the singing skills, its about The whole Song, appearance, style, feeling. Swedens loreen was cookie Cutter Eurovision from The year 1994 and shouldve not Been The Winner. Spectator votes should weigh More than "professional judges" who prefer neighboring countries really than The actual performers..
@@pukelius4128 Yes, it's about the whole thing and I hated it. The only thing that I found funny was the fake smiles the dancers had. The song was awful for me, the singing was really bad. I simply did not find this performance to be good and deserving of the first place, with so many great songs and performances from other countries.
I personally like Loreen's song but I am someone who likes a good emotional song and great vocals.
Also, there are some countries who give 12 points to their neighbours but I find it doesn't happen as often anymore. My country (Poland) gave 12 points to Israel and we couldn't be more far apart :D
Glad she won, she deserved to win the most. Chachacha was such a bad song
This was the winners performance that she did at the end after she had won, so there was a lot of (maybe to much 😄) emotion in it. The real performance was more controlled, but still emotional.
I can't believe no one is talking about Serbia, they also didn't get many points.. they were in my top 3! I really enjoyed every aspect of the performance! Finland was also in my top 3, so i'd love to see you react!
Billie Eilish with a dick failed
That song and performance was a mess 🫠
@@johanlaferte85 The song is a bit boring, but I did like the dark sci-fi performance.
Yesss i loved Serbia. It was my number 1 or 2, depending on my mood. Käärijä obviously being right up there with Serbia.
I find Serbia sneaking into my top 5... :)
You just watched the winner perfomance, its after she won. If you want to see how she really perfomed, check her Final perfomance.
If he'd like to see her perform well, he should watch any other than the final performance. It was the worst version of the song I've heard. The more quiet parts were just mumbling, and when she was going for the high powerful notes it was just pure yelling. The studio version is actually good, but she can't get anywhere near that live, and for some reason the final was her worst. Good for her the jury votes are based on the rehearsals on the Friday before the final and not the final performance...
He said other performances were geoblocked (or did I hear it wrong?) so he didn’t have much of a choice, I guess.
if you bother to watch or listen to him you would have known that he knows that and said this was the only video that wasn't geo-blocked for him.
Estonia and Norway were my favorites this year
Yeeeeeesss, PLEEEASE check the runner up and other performances! 💜 I think at the end of the day, what people forget is Eurovision is all about music. Like, the winners get nothing but a trophy and the title and that is NOT a guarantee for global success (a la Måneskin or ABBA). I think you said it perfectly: "It was spectacular, it's just not what I expected." I personally think that the more open you are to music, the better time you have with something as magnificent as Eurovision. Cause I absolutely LOVED this song, but there were so many others I loved with the same if not more intensity! Cha Cha Cha (Finland, the runner up), Promise (Australia), Évidemment (France), Queen Of Kings (Norway) and Blood & Glitter (Germany) were some of my faves, alongside Tattoo. 😻😻
Celine Dion also won Eurovision and ended up being having global success
You are watching the winning performance, the one she performed right after they announced her as a winner, not the one that she was singing during the competition itself. That's why the confetti
you are actually watching the performance after she won, so emotions are high, the actual contest entry she is more composed. she deserved the win, although Finland was really cool too
Check out Loreens victory from 2012. She made history by being the second person to win eurovision twice.
💪🇸🇪
She is also the first female artist to win twice
She or the judges?
@@k.l.7788 and thank god for their excistens!
@@k.l.7788 she made it, with the help of judges AND the public. I'll help you remember, in case you forgot: Loreen received 243 points from the public, she was in the second place at televotes, not in last place, like y'all sore losers are acting. you should stop being bitter
It's different every year. Sometimes it's a balad, sometimes pop, sometimes rock. As a Swede I 'm proud for sure. But I also LOVED Finland and Norway this year
But for the jury it's pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop pop, pop.

many swedish rock/metal bands have attempted winning melodifestivalen to get to represent sweden at eurovision but none has succeeded, this year we had smash into pieces getting 3rd place at the melodifestivalen finals with their song six feet under. before smash into pieces, some of the other rock/metal bands that have attempted it at melodifestivalen are mustasch, lillasyster, the poodles and dead by april
You should react to the Käärijä-cha cha cha!! You will love it 😅 He was televote winner and came second in the competition.
Cha cha cha is the most stupid and worst song.Its a shame to like and vote a Song like this!Loreen is the Best!
I’m quite proud of her because she’s Moroccan. Also la Zarra is Moroccan. Seeing women of my country reaching Eurovision makes me so proud
Well they were born in Sweden and Canada. So never Moroccan by nationality.
@@joebloggs396 sorry, but they still have Moroccan roots. I’m also Moroccan, but I was born in Italy. I still count myself as one
@@sanaa107 That's how you look at it, but do you know how Moroccan they feel?
@@joebloggs396 well, Zarra said it in an interview. Also the middle finger that she did it’s the typical North African thing.
Loreen has amazigh tattoos on her body. It’s just it what it is. You can’t deny your roots. Just don’t be dense
@@sanaa107 dont listen to that, Loreen actually Said this staging was to honour her Moroccan heritage! She talks about it all the time, so be proud as she is of your country ❤😊
You should definitely check out some other songs! Everybody probably already suggested "Cha cha cha"...but it's amazing, so I will too.
And Eurovision is for all kinds of music. Maybe you'd like to react to some compilation of most memorable Eurovision moments or any video that explains what Eurovision is? I would definitely like to see that.
I’ve never watched a Eurovision contest before so this is all new to me. The girl that won has a phenomenal voice and her stage performance was beautiful. I thought the song itself was a bit meh, though some of the lyrics were well written.
It’s like you said, it’s kinda been done already by Rihanna etc. It’s not “new” and maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel like a winner should. 🤷🏼♀️
I think it would be great if you covered more of the artists that competed to compare performances. I’d like to see that. 👍
You can add to it that this is after they announced she was the winner, and she had to do the act all over again for a last time after all that emotions. Do a solid and check out the melodifestivalen version when she qualified back in sweden.
Incase you haven't, check out her Euphoria song aswell :D Also a Eurovision winner song in 2012
Eurovision is usually full of pop songs as it's 'public friendly', when I heard that Maneskin won, I was really surprised! This year, they had more heavy-ish songs than the years before. You might enjoy Germany, Finland and Australia
there aren’t that many pop songs…
i have a feeling you're gonna LOVE finland's entry, which won the public vote by a landslide. germany and australia might also be up your alley. even though people online are still at war with each other over whether sweden or finland should have won, this year's esc was a great year for (metal) bands :)
Yaas please Alex do more Eurovision videos ❤❤❤
So great to see you catch the winner vibes at the end :)
The winner song she struggled a bit to sing due to emotions after winning so the Final perfomance is better, but i'm glad you already saw it.
I liked her ESC song from 2012 (?) much more. It's called "Euphoria" and Floor Jansen from Nightwish did a great cover of it for the show "Sing my Song".
This LOREEN performance is AFTER she's won, that is why she plays with the song etc... Very PRO to be so composed after all the emotions of the voting. Check out "Euphoria" from 2012.
YESS MY DAILY DOSE OF THE GREAT CONTENT OF ALEX!!!(no seriously love your stuff man!)
Yeah Cha Cha Cha is worth checking out.
Fun fact: Her initial performance in the Swedish heats was disrupted by an activist storming the stage. She completely ignored him and just continued her performance, only stopping after the higherups decided to interrupt the number and cut the music. XD
She is a real professional and spectacular singer, and she definitely deserved the win. Unfortunately so did the runner-up, and he won the public vote by a landslide, so IMHO he should have won. Do check his song out: Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä (Pronounced "Care-EE-yeah"). I think you'll like it.
Käärijä also dodged a cable in the nick of time in his final performance and just kept going like a pro 🙂. Almost got decapitated 😉😶🙈.
This performance is after she was announced as a winner, she totally let herself go and was all in her feels and it made the performance even more spectacular. That little growl at the beginning is everything. She is so so good
Also very very much recommended to check out the 2021 winner MAneskin - Zitti E Buoni
Listen to the last place then you’d be surprised ;D greets from Germany 😅
Check out Finland's entry that got full points from 18 countries in the televote. Sweden won by jury of 185 people against millions of people who paid and voted for Finland's Käärijä and his song Cha Cha Cha.
Sweden still was 2nd in the popular vote... it's not like the public did not like her so this outcome is not surprising
Millions and millions of people also voted for Loreen.. She was not that far behind Käärijä in the popular vote... And she won the jury.. Something Käärijä didn't.. So hence he got less points.. (Points are needed to win.. Not votes.. This is not an election...)
A Finnish Hockey song omg..
@@swedishmetalbear Not far behind??!!! Are you delusional? There was a huge gap because Finland was the landslide winner. Loreen got even less 10 points than Käärijä. CCC got 376 points if I remember correctly and Tattoo somewhere around 220-240. One of the worst public vote scores for a winner ever. Why not admit the facts and try to turn them around?
@@Mari-ok6xg You're conviently forgetting about the jury vote.. Which Loreen won by a landslide.. To win Eurovision Marinainen. You have to win BOTH Jury AND Televotes. Enough whining like little babies now. It is getting OLD.
OMG I'm swedish and I've watched you for a long time, thank you so so much!
You should check the Finlands Käärijä that came second and received most of the peoples votes. Real winner 😊
Not the real winner , but the winner of publicvotes, 4rd in the Juryvotes.
Loreen was second in the publicvotes and was 1 in the juryvotes so she won fair cause she had the highest total score 😊
Jury votes count as 50% so Finland is not "the real winner". Get over it.
@@Dsdsds346 Which was very shady. There was no justification for her to get double amount of points compared to many incredible performances (like Spain, Israel, Estonia, Italy...). A just winner for jury votes (as they are scoring now), but not with anywhere near that high a margin. And there are loads of disgusting comments from jury members publicly available about Käärijä which obviously show he was not scored professionally but by prejudice from jury members who have no appreciation for different genre music and performances.
You should definitely checkout te song that became unbelievably last: Lord of the Lost from Germany with "Blood and Glitter": Glam meets metal meets dark rock meets 80s meets ...
(actually they would have been ranked 25/26 by televoting and 18/19 by juries, if all places would have been counted and not only the first 10 out of 26):
ESC is usually pop and folk. Rock and metal is there a niche genre.
The contest is decided between a mix of voting from the judges and the public. This one won due to a landslide judges vote, the public vote was massively in favour of the 2nd place entry from Finland
Just learning about Eurovision in general for context would make for a good reaction. There's lots of videos out there about it.
Eurovision, i assume. Every episode is a concert? Seems like the contestants have record deals already. Looks amazing though. Might have to check out more of the show
You HAVE TO check out finlands "cha cha cha", as a swede i am mad as shit that finland didnt won! He got the most votes from the people but we won because of the judges!
Thank you 💚
Käärijä Cha Cha Cha Finland is the peoples winner, 2nd highest peoples vote in Eurovision history. I think you’d enjoy it!
And the highest was wartime for Ukraine. An amazing song, but the points are not combarable as is to other years.
definitely a top 10 song, not #1 though. my number 1 was moldova (pasha parfeni - soarele si luna), if you have time, check it out, it's a great mix of electronic and ethnic elements.
i like käärijä's cha cha cha (the one everyone's angry about losing) but i think it's massively overhyped and not just because it's basically a copy of electric callboy and rammstein 😅
I second this, check out Moldova Alex, it didn't place that high but it was a magnificent performance!
Yeah, Moldova's song was so so good ! Nevertheless my number 1 is Vesna from Czech Republic with "My sister's crown", such a powerful song, so so beautiful.
Moldova and Czechia are great ones.
Yeah and Loreen is not copying anyone...
Rammstein's drummer likes "Cha Cha Cha" and Electric Callboy's vocalist, Nico likes it too and he even said that the songs aren't similar at all, except the beginning is little similar, but not the same. And he likes the song too.
each country present 1 entrance ( could be folk, pop, metal, a singer, a band , an orchestra... whatever that country fancies that year. my country sent Blanca Paloma with a flamenco lullaby wit electronic base, you can check. indeed Loreen won and you saw her final performance ( the winner perform again, closing the gala)
Check out Finlands entry, CHA CHA CHA !!!!
Would you like to review the performance of Lord of the Lost?
You should most definitely check out the runner-up and possibly the bronze medal as well because they all did extremely well and deserve the recognition. If you're feeling like it I would even recommend top 5 because damn, they all did so well
Not going to repeat what a lot of people already said, so I'll say this; if you want to check out something wild from this year's Eurovision, go check out Croatia's entry. It will definitely leave you with more questions than answers.
you should FOR SURE check out the runner-up! finland was amazing and they won the public's voting, however overall it was loreen who got the most points. still finland was incredible and i think you would enjoy the song, also Käärijä is a super nice and funny guy.
You need to watch her semi and final performances. Clearly she was very exited after the win.
She can sing our socks off, but/and the song is produced to perfection/death. It won because jury of music journalists and record label guys wanted to play this on their easy listening pop radio channels. Finland was so much edgier and won the public televote by a landslide.
Sweden also invented the zipper, dynamite, Skype, Spotify, adjustable wrench, bluetooth, peacemaker, seat belt, Flat Screen monitors, GPS, safety matches, Celsius scale, computer mouse, the glas coca cola bottle, etc etc etc
That is winning performance that she performed first time after the winning announcement, that's why they had confetti in the end
@Alex Hefner. What you watched was the winners perfomance. Not the actual act. That is because when the winner is announced they do anathor perfomance called the winners perfomance. That why the golden things were there in the end. Both were live. But 1 performance before and 1 after her win. This was after
It is a song contest and it should be all about the song and the singer behind. Surely there were so many songs this year I loved and of course the runner up Finland or even the 15th place Austria or the 5th place Norway.
I hope you get 1 million subscribers quickly, hello from Indonesia
Theres little time between the songs so confetti isnt allowed as part of the act cause they cant clean the stage on time. So in the end there is confetti for the winner :)
Also check the runner ups, and sometimes other finishes get hits too. Armenia's Rosa Lynn ended on rank 8 last year but thanks to tiktok she got a worldwide hit.
Estonia;s song of 2023 year was also really good. And i liked Australia.
You should do Cha Cha Cha, Käärijä who came second
I think Loreen with her two winning songs has kicked Eurovision in a new direction. She is like an actor in a video.
First Eurovision I’ve watched in over 10 years and that’s purely because it was being held my home city of Liverpool.
Normally the winning country hosts it, Ukraine won last year but because of the war it went to the 2nd place which was the UK.
honestly, UK should have won it last year.
You should also see Finland, they came into the second place. They also won the audience votes
The song is Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä.
And if you have not heard Euphoria from Loreen, it is better song. With that song she won the Eurovisions in 2012.
I would say check out Blood and Glitter, from Lord of the Lost, it's one of the best songs from the show but came in last place because Germany is almost always in last place
Feel so bad for Germany, they did not deserve the last place at all. I don't get it, like sure last year they deserved the bottom place but this year they are definitely a top 10 for sure so I'm very disappointed in both the jury and in the public for not giving Germany more love.
@Älvdansen I proudly voted for Germany, and how our song "I wrote a song" got more votes I'll never know, Blood and Glitter was one of the best songs of the night
@@alvdansen7172For me UK, Israel and Poland had the weakest and more boring songs. Even though I'm not a big fan of blood and glitter (loving lotl tho) I agree that they didn't deserve last place
I loved Norway song “queen of the kings”. As a swede, I think it should had won
It would've been great if they just kept it a folk song, but the bad techno beats ruined it for me.
You need to check out Finland, Germany and Australia for the rock/metal itch! Also, Finland got more points from the people's votes that sweden, but sweden got more points from the snobs in the jury
Hey Alex. I bet someone mentioned this in the comments already, but gotta add it one more time. In Måneskin's name, the å is a scandinavian o, which is pronounced the same way as the "mon" in the word monster. Even thought the band is Italian, the name comes from Danish and means "moonlight". Just thought to mention it since you said it's one of your favorite bands. :)
The concept of Eurovision is that each qualifying country enters a song. It can be any genre - even traditional/folk/jokey songs. Finland's national music genre is heavy metal, so they usually enter a metal or rock song. You should check out this year's song from Finland. And Germany. Oh and Croatia fir the fun side.
Every country has a jury and their votes count for half the votes. The public vote counts for the other half.
Utter craziness at its finest!!!
You should see the whole grand final w the votings and everything.
The entire point about eurovision is musical diversity! Rock (and bands) winning is actually quite rare with Måneskin and Lordi being some of the only two rock-adjacent winners. So this year we got a Swedish power pop balled, last year was Ukrainian rap and rolk, then in 2019 it was a pure ballad with Arcade. The genre and vibes of the winner swings drastically each year but the songs competing always has something for everyone to enjoy and that's what makes it so great.
Note: This is the performance after she won, and she's probably somewhat exhausted at this point. The time between her main performance and this one is about 3 hours. Also, the performance won't be as well done due to adrenaline after winning, and the fact there's no stakes in this one, as she's already won. Still phenomenal.
Omg, Alex. Let’s do a full reaction of all the songs. I love your tv and movies channel and I ended up in this video of your other channel. Eurovision + Alex, my two true passions. 😢
In Eurovision every country sends a song, it can be whatever genre they want sometimes a ballad wins sometimes a rock band and this time it was a pop song - you have all kind of music and at the end 50% a professional jury gives points and televotes 😊
Would love to see you react to Finland's entry since they got 2nd place 😊
I've listened to the whole "Rush!" album from Måneskin probably 15 times in the last week.
Eurovision is an "all genre" contest. Check out the other artists, for sure.
Haven't watched Eurovision in forever, or heard her song as a swede, only reason I will I guess, cos of you Alex lol
Definitely check out at least the top 3 or top 5! 😄 There is a "tiny" bit of a debate going on between the 1st and 2nd places but as a Finnish person I won't go too much into that, let's just say that the jury voted their favourite and audience theirs 😏It's a shame that there was many good songs that didn't even get into top 10. For example Cyprus really surprised me, their song was awesome!
The point system has been the same from 2009 I think, at least until this years contest. Every country in Europe has a "jury" that votes their favourite songs and gives them points from 1-10 and a 12 points for their top picks. After that it's revealed from the last place on how much points the song gets from the audience. The placings can change drastically in this second stage but this year Loreen just got too much point from the jury so the audience points weren't enough to get a surprise winner. Or was Loreen the surprise winner? 😉Depends on whom you ask 😄
You should watch a compliation with ALL the winners throughout the years ^^
She won! She also won in 2012. This was her winners performance after she won
Eurovision is the most diverse and entertaining show, full of different genres, styles, props, pyro and whatever you can imagine. The winner is chosen 50/50 by the public and a professional jury. They give points from 1 to 8, 10 and 12 and each country can't vote for itself. Basically those are the main rules.
I know you love Electric Callboy so it’s a must for you to check out Finland, the best 2nd place ever. And Germany and Australia are probably also up your ally
Israel lady talking about 'Polish' deathcamps made me laugh so hard
It's a good song, but nothing that special in my opinion. I got tired of it pretty fast. But it was a bad year in general. I think you'd like Germany and Finland. Norway was pretty good too. Also this one didn't really get to Eurovision, but check out Jann - Gladiator.
You need to check out Finland's grand final entry!
You should do the full show. It’s all on CZcams.
This years event was very well produced.
I know it was 5 years ago, but it's more like your style I think so you should check out "AWS - Viszlát Nyár - Hungary - LIVE - Grand Final - Eurovision 2018" too. The Hungarian team AWS's singer Örs passed away not long ago so this song means a lot more to the people in Hungary than just an eurovision song. It doesn't need to be a video or anything, just listen to it if you have the time.
Edit: the studio version is obviously better quality but there's more emotion in the live version
You totally need to check out Voyager's entry for Australia. My favourite of the contest. Been one of my fave bands for the last few years.
Also, it's a song contest, it's open to ALL genres depending on what each country sends. Finland were second. You might dig it more. But yeah, there were bands involved. Maneskin and Lordi have been the exceptions in bringing rock and metal to the #1 spot. Before Lordi, it really was just pop and folk music really, bits of dance but not really metal. Nik Nocturnal did a little bit on the rockier entries which you might want to check out too.
Loreen was only the winner due to juries. You need to check out the viewers/audience winner, Finland!
yeah but she still second in televote so if Finland was nr1 she was still up there as a favorite and no not only juries loves her
Not just due to the juries, the _combination_ of the viewers votes and the jury votes.
You don't win with just the televotes, or just the jury votes, it's the combination that matters.
@@alvdansen7172 She was not the winner of the viewers/audience, she was their second place. She did not get a single 12 points from them, while she got an insane amount from the juries. They should not count for 50% of the votes. With that being said, my problem is not with Loreen at all, she did great and the song is good too. I just have a problem with the jury deciding a winner instead of the audience/viewers, it is their show.
@@Asa...S But the Jury is still the reason she won. They gave her so many 12 points that there was a 163 point drop to the second place. That is huge!
@@lykke Thats' what I said second place with the public! Reason why she did not get a 12 with the public is probably due to the fact that her public show performance was not as good as her earlier performances. Why she did so well with the jury is because that was probably her best performance she done, I have heard that the jury performance went really well. It's not the exact same performance that is being juged here with the jury as with the public. I also think that people made sure to not vote for Loreen, not because they didn't like her or did not have her as their favorite but because people were not sure I they wanted her to win twice. I saw that Finland gave a 0 vote for Loreen but that was obviously for tactical reasons. They wanted Käärijä to win and I understand that but I believe that even those who loved Loreens song did not vote for Loreen in order to help Käärijä winning.
I also think that the smear campainge might have had something to do with the lower public points for Loreen. Loreen also have more public support outside the ESC world and Tattoo is currently the most streamed song of this year form ESC, yes even the more popular than Finland, not to mention she s charting in multible countries and is being #1 at the moment in many countries. That says alot, Tattoo even with the petty ESC-fans are still loved and appriciated in the world. People just want someone else but Sweden to win and yes it's pop from Sweden once again but that does not mean Loreens performance and song don't deserve it's win. Käärijä would have deserved to win too and nothing can take away the love that you and other fans are feeling towards him.
Listed to the other version.. this is after so she’s pumped on adrenaline and is happy.. so the voice sounds different
Why is people reacting to this version _after_ she just found out that she has won, when she is goofing around, growling, pointing at people, thanking the audience, and is probably filled with adrenaline and joy and isn't doing her best? I don't get it. Perhaps the title of the video should be better so people understand what they're watching. I feel that it's not fair to judge her on this performance.
I think it's better to watch the actual performance. Or even better, watch "Loreen - Tattoo | Sweden 🇸🇪 | Official Music Video | Eurovision 2023" instead. Her singing is better, the stage is bigger and better not this mini version of it, it's live in front of an audience 3 times bigger, the camera angles are better etc.
I agree
I could be wrong but I think this video is not blocked by the Eurovision official channel in the US, as the other entries are.
@@ronnopotter Oh, so there might be some geoblocking going on... then I get why they react to this one. Thanks for explaining it!
Definitely check out "Smash into pieces - Six feet under". They lost to Loreen in the swedish Melodi Grand Prix, but is WAY better than Loreen!
- it gave me some Hollywood Undead / Linkin Park vibes.
Otherwise Käärijä - Cha Cha cha and Soarele Si luna!
Totally agree. Smash into pieces should have represented Sweden this year. As an Estonian I really hoped "Ollie - Venom" represented Estonia. Maybe check out that song.
I hope they come back Next year!
If you check out the runner up, Finland, please start by forgetting that you ever heard 'We go the moves' by Electric Callboy, otherwise it will just make you disappointed.
Yeah right 😄. Way to try to throw shade which has no basis what so ever. Like actually people who matter, EC themselves have shut down this stupid discussion ages ago.
I think one of the best Eurovision performances in my opinion was "maNga - We Could Be The Same" from 2010
Eurovision is a contest for the song each country chooses to represent them.
It can be any type of song. Maneskin winning was a pleasant surprise for everyone. Especially Italy as they hadn’t won in many many years.
Metal is not always a popular genre but its been selected the lasted years and we see it more often in Eurovision.
Eurovision made Celine Dion famous so its not for bands. Any artist can participate.
It’s a mesmerising performance, for sure.
You should really watch places 2,3,4 this year. they were great as well.
also, if you really want to understand Eurovision, I suggest you watch the winners of previous years.
this was congratulatory performance, post winning
Definitely check it out. There are also some good videos to check out that explain more about the concept of Eurovision :)
