Be prepared, for next year. Loreen did it, again, this year. An Malmö has been selected as the hosting city for next year..... And by the way, it will also be the 50th year anniversary when ABBA won in Brighton.
For me the magic starts at 1:55 with the drums and the violing coming through. Whoever composed this, incorporating all these different elements (kids, instruments) in the original song is a genious.
Unfortunately both Petra and Måns are signed with a different TV channel so we might see two completely different hosts. But fingers crossed they work something out with Petra🫶🏼
this is the most moving and best intro of eurovision ever done! the kids the song loreen everything just fit eachother perfectly this is just simply amazing! well done sweden!
I have to agree...Sweden has really set the bar high of expectation in Eurovision. Mostly, Eurovision isn't really taken seriously from where I'm from. ABBA put it up there and now Loreen took it to a whole new level. Coincidentally, Sweden is one of the countries I would love to visit one day. Just something about it. The music. The art. The fashion. The people. Can't explain! 😍 👍👌🙌
There's a funny story about this. The government said to the national broadcasting company it had to be the cheapest Eurovision in years and yet the swedes delivered one of the best openings ever in Esc. #respect
Yeah, that´s true, I read these figures somewhere. 2007: Helsinki: €17.5 million 2009: Moscow:€ 33 million 2012: Baku: €60 million 2013: Malmö: €12 million 2014: Copenhagen: €45 million 2015: Vienna: € 34 million 2016: Stockholm: €14 million 2017 Kyiv: €45 million 2018: Lisbon €23 million 2019: Tel Aviv: €28.5 million So, Sweden spent :€ 26 million in total on both contests, Malmö 2013 and Stockholm 2016, which is less than most countries spend on _one_ contest, but yet it looked great both times.
@@Asa...Sthat explains why the 2013 and 2016 editions felt smaller it's honestly amazing how great they were also i had no idea kiev was that expenisve, i'd imagine mosocow or lisbon to take more
Toova 900 You purchase them? My dear, trafficking is a bad thing! There are other way's to show how mush you value the opinions of others ;) Yes I know you meant appreciate, just had to.
As an American, I have to say how much respect I have for those of you who are from Sweden. Your country has some of the best music in the entire world! This intro was not only stunning, but absolutely magical! I found it very moving and awe-inspiring. Great job to all of the children singing and, of course, to Loreen who has such a beautiful singing voice!
Why would you have respect for something that's out of our control? Yeah we are Swedish - so what? Most of us don't contribute to the parts you are praising. And Loreen isn't even Swedish.
Karl Hellenius You do not understand culture if that's how you see it. It's sad to see someone resent their nationality, you should stop. Loreen is was born in Stockholm, therefore Swedish, heritage does not determine nationality.
Karl Hellenius Irrelevant. Nationality and ability are separate but nationality is a representative thing, therefore you're representing your nationality with your abilities.
I guess SVT is gonna have a headache how to outdo this one in 2024 now that Loreen's got her historic second win... gotta be even more spectacular I'm sure 🤗
Vedat Direk I was there on the spot and worked got goosebumps and tears in my eyes :-) Swedish television did an amazing show ESC 2013 will probably go down in history as one of the best live broadcasts in the ESC. Perhaps Sweden wins sometime again who knows? Then we'll see what the next show will be?
mahham93 Det enda SD (Björn Söder) har kritiserat i att Loreen vann var att han inte tycker att Sverige bör arrangera ESC då han menar att det kostar väldigt mycket pengar och att man kan lägga pengarna på viktigare saker. Sedan att han tycker det är tråkigt att artisterna inte längre sjunger på sina hemspråk utan främst på engelska.
mahham93 Why do we have to a start a debate about racism and politics as soon as someone says something about Sweden? I will not say you are a pathetic but I will call this behavior pathetic
'behaviour' not the American 'behavior'. Thank God, last time I looked they don't teach Americanese in universities. That would be because it isn't a language.....Although it may arguably be weaponised language.
Sweden brought back music to Eurovision. I'm tired of all those shows when the host nation goes: Oh look at us and our nation, we are so good. Our lakes, Mountains and cows are so beautiful. It is like a long and endless traveling commercial instead of being a music competition. Get's abit silly after a while :)
We did act "Oh look at us and our nation!" though.... But the difference is that we did it in a more obvious way with a few middle acts about how Swedish people and Sweden are... XD
Booxeen Yeah we kinda did, but I think we were more like: Look at us, we are so weird xD And showing of, not just the good parts of Sweden, but also our flaws c:
It is a big difference if you compare with the host the year before. Azerbaijan were kind of a propaganda movie a out the country to attract tourists ;) If I remember it correctly..
Swedes really know how to start a show ^^ Loreen was just awesome as always and dresed like a lady,really liked it The children's choir give me goose bumps,it was the most wonderful combination i've ever heard Congratulations!
I seriously got goosebumps watching this. This is such a very good song, amazing singer, great into/opening and it's 2021. This is how artists should do it
She is Eurovision. There will never be a winner like her again. Thank you Loreen, thank you for your music, your voice and your personality. Simply the best
in the melodifestivalen there was something with heroes like this ^^ maybe they can do it this year in the opening of the esc again ^^ (Sry for bad english ^^')
That moody music over the bridge, the twinkling lights at dusk .. And that intro that pans the arena and zooms on the host .. freakin chills! So well done.
Bravo to all of the ESC openings but this proved already over 10 years ago, that Loreen is an amazing vocalist. And I’m totally in love with the kids singing and also doing sign language ❤️ it’s touching hearts and souls ❤️ thank you.
Crossing the bridge and joining the crowd Stepping down as the winner and leaving the stage to the competitors and to the audience that will decide on the new winner That feeling and the kids singing in sign language is what keeps bringing tears to my eyes even after all these years
THIS IS WHAT AN OPENING NUMBER SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
Esc 2019?
Great
sould i sugest this czcams.com/video/UuE1azNwNeo/video.html
This is one of the most powerful and amazing openings of the eurovision song contest of all time. Sweden never fails to deliver.
Thanks❤️🇸🇪
+Timothy Rooth
It is the best opening ever !!!!!!
without fail. hands down!
+Euro System you mean the results, right?
i agree
This gives me the chills no matter how many times I've watched it.
I thought I was the only one!
Makes me cry - It's so amazingly arranged.
Same❤️
FUCKING SAME HERE EVERY 5 SECONDS
leveltre Same for me
It's been 10 years and I still get goosebumps. In my opinion this is the most beautiful opening of the Eurovision Song Contest in Eurovision histroy!
Agreed by 💯
Be prepared, for next year. Loreen did it, again, this year. An Malmö has been selected as the hosting city for next year..... And by the way, it will also be the 50th year anniversary when ABBA won in Brighton.
She is absolutely no human it’s not possible. This is a divinity
this is the most iconic performance in eurovision history. i get chills every time
when Petra say Welcome..OMG it's fabulous
+Harut Hovhannisyan "WÄLKÖM!!"
+Anton Moberg HAHA! Precis!
Hunger Games
@@edwardcullen3251 that's exactly what I thought haha. Love it
Loreen's ability to re-interpret what is already an amazing song is pure genius!!!
That moment that Loreen starts to sing is just pure magic!! 2:48
It brings tears to my eyes always. It hits me so deep I can't explain.
For me the magic starts at 1:55 with the drums and the violing coming through. Whoever composed this, incorporating all these different elements (kids, instruments) in the original song is a genious.
Those solo singing boys! Sing alone for millions of people, takes extreme courage! I'm in awe, truly.
Elestro Air-soft on
are you saying that those kids can't even count to 2?
hipsu555
Mate, what kind of shithole country are you from, where 11 year olds don't know millions? Lmfao
It's kind of playback, but otherwise yeah.
I hope Petra Mede hasn't booked anything in May 2024 yet. She's got work to do.
Unfortunately both Petra and Måns are signed with a different TV channel so we might see two completely different hosts. But fingers crossed they work something out with Petra🫶🏼
@Jam3s it would be great but her English isn't the best 😬
@@anabelle..omg please not Mans. He is like impossible to get rid of since 2015
@Jam3s someone actually mentioned it in an interview with her and she said “yeah why not”🙊
@@Philipp19967 well he’s always present cause people ask him to be, meaning that most enjoy seeing him at ESC :))
Petra rising from the stage is breathtaking
iDrizzle_ Dounut yeees I loved it omg
Still probably the only ESC opening I can remember and come back to. Hoping a similar epic opening for 2024 Sweden.
Same! This is ethereal!
Yeah. Do something similar for tattoo but instead of children use former swedish oarticipants like cornelia jakobs, tusse john lindvik etc.
this is the most moving and best intro of eurovision ever done! the kids the song loreen everything just fit eachother perfectly this is just simply amazing! well done sweden!

Almost two years ago omg… best thing I've ever done in my entire life!! (I'm one of the kids singing on the bridge)
SingWithElvira Wow. Gratz. That was one in a lifetime memory you got. I envy you
Oh yeah definitely, I'm forever thankful that I did get that amazing opportunity!
SingWithElvira Det är magiskt. Fortfarande lika vackert. =)
SingWithElvira Så braa!! Gåshud varje gång XD
+SingWithElvira Super cool!! I worked there and got the chance to meet Loreen, she is an absolutely amazing person.
There's a funny story about this. The government said to the national broadcasting company it had to be the cheapest Eurovision in years and yet the swedes delivered one of the best openings ever in Esc. #respect
Just proves it dosen't need to be expensive to look amazing ;)
Of course it had to be cheaper. She competed in Azerbaijan and they built a new arena etc for it. Azerbaijan didnt save money.
Yeah, that´s true, I read these figures somewhere.
2007: Helsinki: €17.5 million
2009: Moscow:€ 33 million
2012: Baku: €60 million
2013: Malmö: €12 million
2014: Copenhagen: €45 million
2015: Vienna: € 34 million
2016: Stockholm: €14 million
2017 Kyiv: €45 million
2018: Lisbon €23 million
2019: Tel Aviv: €28.5 million
So, Sweden spent :€ 26 million in total on both contests, Malmö 2013 and Stockholm 2016, which is less than most countries spend on _one_ contest, but yet it looked great both times.
This was cheep? Well I guess they weren’t wrong in 2016 when they filled a second arena
@@Asa...Sthat explains why the 2013 and 2016 editions felt smaller
it's honestly amazing how great they were
also i had no idea kiev was that expenisve, i'd imagine mosocow or lisbon to take more
Best Eurovision opening EVER.
This is still the best moment in Eurovision history!
Best opening ever in ESC!!!! I cry alot

Gotta love how Loreen walks in a queen
This is pure magic
Am I the only one who thinks that Eurovision 2013, was the best? I mean like come on. The opening was amazing.
I KNOW RIGHT!! :DD I GOT SOOO PROUD OVER MY COUNTRY! :DD
Swedish ESCFan Even tho I'm not a Swede,I got so proud of your country too! :D

It shouldn't hahah I just love Sweden :D

Best intro in eurovision history!!!
Best opening ever. And best simger ever
Still the best ever Eurovision opener by far.
the amazing swedes
good one. HEH
Too bad Sweden Democrates (SD) dont think Loreen is a swede...

THIS is an introduction OMG I´ve cryed
Best opening ever. Goosebumps all the time!
It's the very best opening ceremony of the ESC !!! Gretings from Belgium
Sweden just can't be beaten. The best winners, and the best shows.
Sweden brought back music to Eurovision. I'm tired of all those shows when the host nation goes: Oh look at us and our nation, we are so good. Our lakes, Mountains and cows are so beautiful.

Booxeen Yeah we kinda did, but I think we were more like: Look at us, we are so weird xD And showing of, not just the good parts of Sweden, but also our flaws c:
Sweden and Germany 2011 were the best hosts in years. They weren't corny at all with seriously entertaining in between acts and hosts.
It is a big difference if you compare with the host the year before. Azerbaijan were kind of a propaganda movie a out the country to attract tourists ;) If I remember it correctly..
Where the whales can live because we are gentle people
This should be the Eurovision 2013 Grand Final Opening! not the Semifinal one. It was underrated!
This was a magnificent version of euphoria... loved it.
bc of the kid at 2:42 cause when he opened his mouth the tears just flooded my eyes...
Jag ryser lika mkt varje gång jag ser detta. Bästa öppningen EVER.
så jävla bra
Daniel Johansson Enig.
Hello
helli
Swedes really know how to start a show ^^
Loreen was just awesome as always and dresed like a lady,really liked it
The children's choir give me goose bumps,it was the most wonderful combination i've ever heard
Congratulations!
I seriously got goosebumps watching this. This is such a very good song, amazing singer, great into/opening and it's 2021. This is how artists should do it
She is Eurovision. There will never be a winner like her again. Thank you Loreen, thank you for your music, your voice and your personality. Simply the best
There is a winner like her, she just did it agan!😮❤🎉
Let’s do this again in 2024, now with “Tattoo”
Loreen es puro espectáculo, ojalá lo vuelva a repetir este año! Se lo merece!
Lo hizo; tremenda voz que tiene loreen
That video is kind of representing Europe... idk why.. just feel it like that
I feel the same. Powerful
Stamen Stoev I think it’s because the children have different ethnicities. It’s very beautiful :)
I cant wait for Sweeden 2014 when she opens with Euphoria and Tatoo😁
The transition is gonna be EPIC tho Loreen says both songs are like yin and yang
I can't watch this without getting goosebumps. So beautiful❤️
Karin Wahlberg me to!!!
Kadre W Same!!!!@
Now that was a production number! Wow factor from beginning to end.
This version hits my soul !
We take Eurovision serious in Sweden
I always get so emotional at this song
Someone here after she wins again in 2023???
Best opening I've seen for eurovision.
this was like one of the BEST openings of esc i have ever seen.amazing.
Best opening ever
Wow, I cried! That was beautiful! The best intro in Eurovision history. Well done, Sweden!
Best eurovision opening in ESC history
It's the best opening of this international contest!)) Loreen is one love!
This seriuosly gives me the shivers
me too :D
Cant even think how she will nail Tattoo next year.
Good to see I'm not the only fan who thinks this is one of Eurovision's greatest moments
A wonderful interpretation of what is probably the best ever winner of the Eurovision.
Back to watch this after winning Eurovision 2023 yesterday twice time ❤
This..... is...... #breathtaking .
Omg... #Loreen .. you're an Angel ♥
This opening gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I could really feel the song and the passion of this performance.
I know it's hard but I hope we can get another epic opening like this next year
I trust you Swedes :D
+İrem Sakallı haha
in the melodifestivalen there was something with heroes like this ^^ maybe they can do it this year in the opening of the esc again ^^
(Sry for bad english ^^')
+Erica Erixon it was good

One of the best Songs ever😊
Still amazing and still sends chills
Amazing, unforgettable.
Exited to see how they open Eurovision 2024 with Loreen again 🇸🇪
I envision an epic transition for Loreen’s hits like in 2013 for 2024
Seriously, this is so magic I can't handle all the goosebumps it gives me...
Loreen is a queen and Euphoria is an everlasting piece of art
Omgggggg chillsssss
That's what I'm calling an opening!
2020 and keep moving me, it's definitely the best eurovision opening of all time
Petra, we will want you absolutely in Sweden last year for the 50th anniversary of Waterloo! 🥰
I have no idea how denmark is gonna top this. I mean we are fucked, because this opening was perfect.
That moody music over the bridge, the twinkling lights at dusk .. And that intro that pans the arena and zooms on the host .. freakin chills! So well done.
Bravo to all of the ESC openings but this proved already over 10 years ago, that Loreen is an amazing vocalist. And I’m totally in love with the kids singing and also doing sign language ❤️ it’s touching hearts and souls ❤️ thank you.
I can signlanguage and every time I watching at this video I must sign with the children. (Yes, im deaf.)
What do they say if you translate directly? I'm very curious to know
Crossing the bridge and joining the crowd
Stepping down as the winner and leaving the stage to the competitors and to the audience that will decide on the new winner
That feeling and the kids singing in sign language is what keeps bringing tears to my eyes even after all these years
The part with the crowd singing along is just amazingly powerful. Awesome atmosphere!
Still watching this masterpiece!
every pain every heartbroken dark memories sended into this song
Haha, perfekt sång, sedan kommer Petra i slutet med sitt "WÄLKÖM!". xD
Haha ikr :D
HAHAHA
HAHAHAHA, orkar inte! :')
Bitches please, det är ju ungefär så man uttalar det. Blir det så himlans jättekul bara för att man ersätter det med svenska bokstäver eller...?
Hans Jiang Nej, hon uttalar det faktiskt fel.
Amazing. Those kids are so brave who sung infront of so many people, especially the ones who sung solos 😮
this video is so emotional that makes me cry every time !!! i feel Euphoria!!
The best opening performance ever!!!
And this Opening is fucking AWESOME 😊
2023 and still the best opening ever!
Я представляю что будет твориться в Швеции в 2024! ❤❤❤
*Tears up a little*...That was SO beautiful
She is truly amazing, I adore her.
OMG, I am watching it in 2020, in Poland, and this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life!!!
Så jävla epic!!! Ryser helatiden!
WAW, c'est la meilleure introduction de l'eurovision, depuis, que je suis cet événement!!
