@@owainthomas2316 no it wasn't. The song was modern, with traditional Ukrainian melodies and a great message of love to a mother. It was in the bookmakers tops even before the ruzzian full scale war.
@@lyalyalya2 Disagree, I'd say it was more of a 6 - 8th place song there were songs that were better like Sweden, Serbia and the UK who were the real winners really
@@Dim4323 the bloc voting and public voting makes it almost entirely political. It is no coincidence we’ve been in the dump since 2003, hmmm I wonder what the UK did that year. The show isn’t even so bad it’s good anymore it’s just bad, they’re trying too hard and it’s hideously over-produced.
I love how they invited Jemini, Daz Sampson and the likes, put them in the "Hall of Shame" in the same show and they all got along with it smilingly. This would have been deemed rude and probably caused some rage in Germany. That's one of things I always adored about the British, that they are able to laugh about themselves. That being said, I think Scooch and Blue were being robbed, but I am so glad that Sam Ryder took away those tired old excuses of "Europe doesn't like us" and "It's all political" and proved that you just need to send a current artist with a good song to fare well at Eurovision.
@@IndreAr Because the contest cannot be won by only by humour and sarcasm. You have to have a good song, a good performer and a good idea. As your country did in both 2020 and 2021. In the UK, we'll never have our own "The Roop" if the UK only ever wants to make jokes.
I'm annoyed they put Blue in the Hall of Shame lol, cos the song was brilliant and there was nothing wrong with it. It was the UK's best entry in YEARS!
Ireland won it 7 times, more than any other country, so technically they are the Kings of Eurovision, not UK. Johnny Logan is also the King of Eurovision winning it twice.
Yeah, but UK have also come second 15 times, while Ireland has only come second four times, and finishing outside of the top 5 was relatively normal for Ireland, unlike the UK who generally finished in the top 5 until twenty years ago
PendulumFTW UK have been in the Eurovision longer than Ireland though. Ireland didn't enter until 1965. And its wins that determines who's been the most successful, not 2nd place.
@@gustafsjoblom6914 Technically speaking, in 1987 he won as both performer and songwriter. Fun fact: he also wrote the 1984 Irish entry "Terminal 3", which finished second and was performed by Linda Martin -- the very same Linda who won 8 years later with Logan's "Why me". 😎🍀🇮🇪
Serbia is the only country in ESC that didnt have a single word in english in their songs. Everything was sung in serbian. And it worked rather well for them
1. Linda Martin came 2nd in 1984 with “Terminal 3” 2. Turkish Sertab Erener won in 2003 with rap bridge in her song “Everyway That I Can” 3. Dschingis (Gengis) Chan came 4th in 1979 (which I consider a good result) - besides, it was the band’s name anyway 4. I think they had mentioned “juries didn’t like/think/agree” while referencing early 2000s entries - Eurofans are pretty meticulous about these sort of mistakes, especially when it comes to voting rules, mixing years when televote decided the winner with the juries driven years could be one of the biggest crime for hardcore Eurofans
This show. Right here. This is why the UK will never win Eurovision again. 2 hours of making fun of your recent entries, putting them on a WALL OF SHAME no less, and the BBC wonders why they can't get anyone but nothing-to-lose geriatric legends to sign up? If the BBC was taking care of its past participants instead of making fun of them, things would change. Show up-and-coming performers that it's worth their while. Give Josh Dubovie his own talk show. Promote the hell out of whatever it is Daz Sampson is doing now. Make the ESC a GOOD career move in the UK. The BBC and the UK are ruining their chances for a cheap giggle. Laugh it up, fellas. Nil points.
Ultimate winner! Loreen? FORGOTTEN HER?! I mean the whole stage number combined with all was just magical and beyond anything we have seen in Eurovision! And if Norway was 4th ultimate winner, why shouldn't Loreen get higher? They said Alexander Rybak had a record that was impossible to beat and Loreen was like 16 points away from beating it! Isn't that worth something? Or that we recieved the most 12ths in history, 18 it was. Or the most played song around Europe for a while. It topped the lists! Has the record of clicks on spotify by ESC songs. I mean CANT YOU SEE IT?!
What about this year's top3?: 3 ballads, one James Bond-ish and one Country (def. not hip-hop) All of them completely dressed All of them in tune All of them in English Neither of them from Eastern Europe 2nd and 3rd about love, 1st song about personal growth, (though pretty much everything else about her was about love and world peace) 1st cause some political uproar, but she handled it well - and it was not part of the song All three of them dressed elegantly, 1st had just more glitter No dancing No gimmick (apart from the beard, but that's just facial hair, so it doesn't count) None trying to be funny I think they all did well and all three of them would have been worthy winners. As an Austrian, I am glad that we finally had an Eurovision entry that was memorable in a different way than Global Kryners, Alf Poier or Trackshittaz.
No gimmick (apart from the beard, but that's just facial hair, so it doesn't count)--> I saw a picture of Conchita as a man,he hasn't got any beard. There is ONE gimmick in the top 3 of this year! *applause*
Really annoyed that they didn't do more research. "Samiid Ædnan" 's 'elolelole' is a way of singing for the Sapmi people. It's part of their culture and not just sounds. Read your books, please.
The reason the UK doesn't win Eurovision.... They have: Sam Smith, One direction, Emile Sande, Adele, Leona Lewis, Jessie J etc They send: Electro velvet, Javine, Engelbert
+why are you looking at my username exactly!!! look at what happened in 2009; When they were only past the tenth voting country out of the 42 and Alexander Rybak was already a lot of points ahead of the second place, the following votings were extremely boring and predictable.
To be fair, Slovenia's entry from that year got 4th place in the jury but the televoters pushed them down to 22nd, finishing 13th overall, so don't act like the juries have all the power. And in my opinion, Slovenia was far better than Blue
Fun fact about Austria in 2012 with Trakshittaz, they won over Conchita Wurst that year with 3 percent more. Conchita sung "That's What I Am" at the preselection. :P
Timeline of rap in Eurovision 2006: 19th place - 🇬🇧 2012: last place in their semi - 🇦🇹 2018: 6th place - 🇨🇿 2021: 21st place - 🇸🇲 Well Daz was right (kinda).
There is no single note out of tune in Poland's 1995 entry. It is just as it was supposed to be, but that's probably too avant-garde for most. Listen to the studio version if you don't believe me. It was Justyna's style back then.
Most Finnish people don't class themselves as part of Scandinavia. Officially Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway and Denmark, sometimes with Iceland included but Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland together are all Nordic countries. There's a difference however slight.
Gabriel Sandberg You are wrong... Scandinavia comprises the three kingdoms of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Finland is just part of the Nordic countries. Idiot..
Gabriel Sandberg lolno... Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Scandinavian peninsula is Norway and Sweden. The Nordic countries are Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland

Its now January 2nd 2019 so Happy New Year 2019. Now to my point. I dont know how you select your song and act in the UK, but here is how we do it in Sweden. You know Sweden that has won Eurovision 7 times. In 2019 we going to have 4 qualifying rounds in 4 different citys. In every qualifying round there are 2 acts going directly to the final and 2 acts to 2nd chance. After the 4th qualifying we have 8 acts already in the final and 8 acts that will battle it out in a 2nd chance and only 2 will make it to the final. That way hopefully we have the 10 best acts and songs in the final. This year it all starts in Gothenburg February 2nd and ens with the final in Stockholm on March 9.
Rickard Sutej no I don't know Sweden who have won it 7 times, because you haven't won it 7 times you've won it 6. And we to have a public vote and the only reason we don't have a similar layout to melodi festivalen is because there isn't a big enough following over here and the BBC wouldn't fund it. You've won it once more than we have so calm down and stop acting like you're the only country ever to won because last time I checked Ireland has you beat in the number of wins as they actually have won it 7 times.
It's funny how they put Germany's Wadde Hadde Du De Da? in the "What to avoid" section... because Stefan Raab successfully trolled the ESC. That was his goal and he reached it. xD Even Top 10.
As a German, I feel for the Brits because God knows, we've sent some pretty questionable stuff to the ESC in the last 15 years as well 😀. I think the UK is at a disadvantage since there is no language rule anymore. Obviously English is the world language, but since the participating countries no longer have to sing in their national languages, this has become an advantage for many, because the songs are much more likely to be understood linguistically. To sum up, with a few exceptions, the UK simply hasn't made it onto the map since Jemini, but I think partly rightly so: Daz Sampson, Scooch, Josh Dubovie and Electro Velvet didn't need to be. Sorry, you should know better that rap from Manchester, Eurotrash and Stock Aitken Waterman pop are no longer relevant in the modern Eurovision era. Engelbert and Bonnie Tyler came across as pure acts of desperation to me, although Engelbert had a lovely song, in my opinion. Andy Abraham, Blue and Molly were okay and Jade even better, but I don't remember much about the rest. Like the Germans, the Brits just need to get back to their roots and present something authentic and well-crafted.
They forgot to mention that for the 'topics to avoid' that Terminal 3 came second and the singer Linda Martin ended up winning in on her second try in 1992.
Thank God Austria has recovered from the performances in 2003, 2005 and 2012 Design. After the Trakshittaz what has especially anything to do with tractors, I thought, "Ok, we will never recover." Udo Jürgens success in 1966 will remain our only. And well, everything after 2014 is known as a miracle.
Why can't we just the Japanese or South Korea to help us? I mean, look at any music video of JPOP and KPOP. They're out of this world, fun to watch and some are cheesy to watch (sorry, I love both JPOP and KPOP and it my guilty pressure of all time)

Anthony Barratt steps would be elite
14:32 What about Yodel rap? Asking for Romania
23:17 Hoping Hungary proves him right and does well this year.
wel , good luck from the netherlands !!
They should have mentioned Silvia Night and her fake tantrum. That was hilarious.
1:10:40 That's a bit ironic to say since UK gave us 12 points for Jedward. And 10 points in 2012
Thank God Austria has recovered from the performances in 2003, 2005 and 2012 Design. After the Trakshittaz what has especially anything to do with tractors, I thought, "Ok, we will never recover." Udo Jürgens success in 1966 will remain our only. And well, everything after 2014 is known as a miracle.
Why can't we just the Japanese or South Korea to help us? I mean, look at any music video of JPOP and KPOP. They're out of this world, fun to watch and some are cheesy to watch (sorry, I love both JPOP and KPOP and it my guilty pressure of all time)
guilty pleasure for me as well :3
CheeseWithToastOn lmao big mood😂
Belgium's acapella was great :P
Javina problem with touch my fire was 2 problems was She had a throat infection and she was in 2nd to perform and 2nd perform was a curse
Jemini actually had their microphone going out every time they sang a good part! They would have got a point!
Little did they know, it gets worse...
Song in the backround at the start?
10 years later and Jemini looks 20 years older! XD
All they said was - 'Joining their Scandinavian friend it's Switzerland'
They didn't say it was in Scandinavia
what is that song - 43:46
We wre placed 3rd last in the juries but in the televote we placed below Sweden with about 198 points
Lol that women "I don't think we should try a comedy song"
.... Bang!!!!!!!! Electro velvet 2015!
Honestly, Engelbert’s song was really good that year! I remember really liking it
Yep.
The two problems were that he was up first and no one was interested.
Love this show ! On schlager is not scandanavian but German and doesnt sound like that.
At 48, on creative La La La"'s, Norways "Whatever this is" are actual words repeated ;)
Can you make this video available for mobile phone pls?
Georgia's song was amazing!
What is Cyprus' song at 48:48. It sounds weird as hell!
If we want to tryout the bloc voting, I might suggest a bloc voting cartel between the UK, Ireland, Australia, and all of the other big 5 countries.
this really isnt funny. the issue is the bbc and the internal team needing to be replaced. plus terry wogan damaged public attitude way too much.
Sorry, but it is funny... And before anybody put me on trial, I'm Eurovision fan and still understand sarcasm and humor
I'm glad Katie Price didn't get picked in 2005. How embarrassing would that have been for the UK?
more embarrassing than a song alluding to vaginal fingering coming in nearly last?
Neil Baker Heh, Coming....Well played good sir!
Livevil9912 cheers! :-)
I think she would have done well. There are many people who would have been shallow enough to vote for her breasts
PendulumFTW really? 99% of the viewers are gay men.
Please please release a new one :) I think during past years you'll find out smth more to comment :)) I'm watching this every year last few years on Eurovision season.... Really need smth new :p
i just posted my entry to represent UK at the 2015 eurovision. the song is called defy and its on my channel
I looked on your channel and I can't find it. :-(
yes, I was contacted by the bbc introducing for eurovision and I was put down, so I gave up lol.I removed it aha.
1:29:41 i started laughing and couldnt stop. that might be one of the funniest things i see. ever.
Olly alexander is now in hall of shame
Title: "How to win Eurovision"
Content: A bunch of D-list celebrities trash talking Eurovision with more focus on what didn't win than what did win
BBC documentary making at its finest
16:13 That was indeed an crazy plan.
because most countries didn't use an Jury that year
Only Albania and Monaco used it because there could not produce an valid Televote.
Schlager what is that? Swedish Lager? lol
Every intelligent person knows that Schlager is a german word....*dah*
Secret Garden from Norway was one of the best winning acts in my opinion.
Also Josh James released a CZcams called Weth and selth doubt he explained it was Lamb to the slaughter
52:43 Dizzee Rascal? Are you kidding? Did we not just go over Eurovision and rap being a terrible idea?
I don't get why the guide says to avoid singing about pirates. It got Latvia to 12th place, and they've come last in the semi-finals 3 times
It can be true. Speaking about weirdness in Eurovision and not speaking about Spain 2008 with the Chikilicuatre??? Maybe too much for you haha :)
Good video, regards from Spain!!
Is that Celine Dion in the Swiss flag?
Yeah, she represented Switzerland in Eurovision 1988.
And she wasn't the only Canadian to represent Switzerland. There was also Annie Cotton in 1993
