'the eurovision song contest has taken place every single year since 1956' corona: allow me to introduce myself
2023: allow me to introduce myself
@@NavigatoTravels what does that mean?😭💀
"The 1980 contest was the last contest that was not hosted in the country that won the year before"
Eurovision: Hosting Eurovion is a challenge, you know.
Portugal: No, we've planned this for the last 50 years, now.

it took 64 years for portugal to win since the first participation
Eurovision 2012 in Baku was also the first time the Green Room was situated in the arena itself and not isolated. And then It became a trend.
2019 was not in the arena
wasn't 2011 also in the arena, behind the big stage?
My Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 my beautiful country 😍🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
@@igi5791 I don't think that counts as them the first one would be 1998
@@kaiosantos2976 so was 2013
Title sounds like a meme caption
RIGHT ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
True
I only just noticed that XD
they should not have cut the rest of isaiah's song, because eurovision:"don't come easy and IT DON'T COME CHEAP"
"We make music and friends with every nation,
And bankrupt the hosting TV station~"
"By winning this contest, you get the chance,
To host a show you can't afford~"
VieViaPaVria well, Ireland went nearly bankrupt in 90s and they said in 1995 that if they were to win again, they would not host for the fourth time in a row
Cristiana Silva lol
Cristiana Silva I was thinking about the same!!! Hahaha! :-)
''It don't come easy, it don't come cheap''
hahaha well said Isaiah, well said.
Maybe Isaiah could won without his "aAaaaEeeEeeIeeeE" sound in the end
@@MustiiForTheWin This was in the semifinal.
@@l_k619 yeah I rewatched both performances and I saw the difference
eurovision 2012 was unique, different, full of colors, really cool songs, winner was amazing, opening ceremony was breathtaking, Azerbaijan introduced all the beauty and the culture of country.
crystal hall and the crystal stage was perfectly matching. i would be happy to see Baku hosting ESC again!
Light your fire 🔥
😊👍👏🏼
Their Eurovision made me plan a trip to Azerbaijan when rewatching it.
Azerbaijan is my motherland 🇦🇿 ♥️♥️
Actually Eurovision 2012's big arena, logo and theme music was just COOL! I was really impressed.
I wonder how much they spent
@@ryusora308 approximately 58 million dollars.
Yaaay my homeland 🇦🇿🇦🇿 my Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤️
@@MustiiForTheWin LOL 20th place you suck.
@@senor.waffle8448 did you see that i'm talking about 2012?! This year sucks.
Well… its time to update that
This video is going to become a lot more relevant now
So many comments about "I hope X country wins next year" *insert flag here* but I just hope the best song wins and we can finally move away from certain countries voting top points for their neighbours every year.
87PLS i think what they mean is that they hope that those countries will send great songs and then continue to win.
87PLS Yeah like all nordics voting Sweden every year, so annoying.
Get over it..... it's money of those people sooo they can waste it the way they want to sorry for the truth.....
yinloveyang then there is literally no point to the contest, especially for countries that don't have neighbours like islands?
🇦🇿
I think Eurovision 2012 in Baku Azerbaijan always got me chill. Not only the winner loreen with her song Euphoria but the stage all amazing. 😘
rendi hermawan thank u💙
TCar Great songs, great winner, great staging,great predication. But the hosts I can comfortably say are the worst I have witnessed in my 16 years of watching this contest.
Thaaaanks i'm from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤️
not me getting this video recommended now...
0:54 ,wow wow great ,well done azerbijanjan ,gretings from serbia ,great showe
The BBC saving everyone's ass. That's the reason why they are a Big 5 country.
I'm glad this is no longer a problem for the hosting countries. Kudos to Ireland for holding on to it during the 90s, their last hosting show was very sweet.
...which is pretty odd since Eurovision only got more expensive

#Topical
Imagine if Iceland won. That would be a logistical nightmare!
(And the population would pretty much double.)
RedheadDane almost happened in 1999 and in 2009 they got second but weren’t close
I know it's ALMOST happened. However, Iceland almost winning wouldn't really be cause for much logistical challenge; not as if it would mean a lot of people would have to almost go to Iceland...
I wouldn't call it a logistical challenge. Reykjavik's international airport is already a worldwide hub and of capacity. There may be a shortage of hotels, but this can be solved using temporary accommodation in cruise ships.
The only issue would be the main venue. As their national arena merely seats 5,500. But it states to have a concert capacity of 11,000, which is sufficient.
I'm sure many local Icelandic companies would jump on board and help finance the event.
Should have won in 2009! :)
What about San Marino? It would be so hard I they won that they would help from Italy.
You should've included the time they decided to host it on a small rural town and managed to pull it off
Switzerland won in 1956, but Germany hosted in 1957.
ZeroOfficial [Eine offizielle Null] Because at the time they hadn't developed the current protocol of the winning country hosting the competing the next year.
Ken Yamamoto Switzerland just didn't want to host again.
ZeroOfficial [Eine offizielle Null] That is also true. But we know that the protocol wasn't developed yet because the 1958 contest was originally going to be hosted in the United Kingdom, when the Netherlands had won on 1957. The United Kingdom withdrew from the contest at the last minute, and so in search of another broadcaster to host, they chose the previous year's winner. The EBU liked the idea of the previous year's winner hosting the contest, and so that is what they've kept today.
Ken Yamamoto I got that. Thanks.
ZeroOfficial [Eingdbfhfjfe offizielle Null]

Coronavision
Awww somehow lovely how the BBC helped Ireland, Monaco and Luxembourg out. Remember this costs all much money.
EUROVISION 2012
Yaaay AZƏRBAYCAN
I'm from Azerbaijan and no one can host like my homeland 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿
When unblocking Eurovision in the USA is a challenge
A great video for some ESC history, and for including several classic winners like *1971, 1973, 1978 & 1996* - all among my all-time favourites :)
I hope Salvador can take part in next year's show.
Sending him all my best wishes.
Mattias Sollerman me too. He must. Im worried about him and send him my prayers. Thats my most important intention. But since im the only living christian catholic i dont know if its gonna work
Maybe it is his sister Luisa Sobral who will take a part in the events.
I hope he becomes well soon
sir wolfie It's just a concert it's delivering a trophy and singing his winning song. There is no way he can be a host.
He was in the interval act
Got this in my recommended
Well, now more than ever it'll be an actual challenge (and it's been since 2020/2021)
Im waiting so much on *Eurovision 2018* !
Also the theme is interesting 👍
Lets just say, thank you BBC for hosting :)
Portugal: When hosting Eurovision is a challenge
The Netherlands: Hold my beer
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Millstreet 1993. Apparently that was a logistical nightmare nightmare for RTÉ.
not quite...Ireland won again
@@FernandoOliveira-ki5ry yes, but the following contests were staged in Dublin, which were logistically much nicer for RTE than Millstreet.
You can always count on England and the Netherlands for help when the countries don't wanna host :)
The best organization was in Baku.amazing show.their misic is fantastic.wow....
I've heard that 1993 in Millstreet was quite a bit difficult for RTÉ.
And interesting that people thought Estonia could not host in 2002, now it's one of the most technologically advanced countries in Europe ;)
hah, nice
they should win and host again
Thanks for this interesting video 🙂
I know it’s very late but I’m a fan of your yt documentaries
"and 1980 was the last year Eurovision didn't take place in country which one last year"
Liverpool 2023: uhm.. let me introduce myself?
"when hosting evrovision is a challenge". Portugal 2018 : I don't think so.
So basically, the UK jumps at any chance to have any hand in hosting a Eurovision
the best songs,performances,organisation. with one word. BAKU 2012♡
more expensive does not mean better...
br3menPT yes it means better one
Winner song best
All final songs masterpiece
Stage huge and amazing
Logo and slogan also one of the best
Opening ceremony amazing
Average 9/10
i respect your opinion, but its just your opinion
Yes. My motherland 🇦🇿♥️
Baku 2012 is best year
Yes! 🇦🇿♥️
Eurovision doesnt come easy..
and cannot change, NO NOOOOT WITH USSSSS
I'm so excited now. Not long to go until Eurovision 2018. 😀
Cristal Hall 😍😍
🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿♥️
i can’t wait for next contest in may omygod
These videos are really interesting.
I just hope he will be alive till this time. Must be. He must sing and host. I cried for an hour if not more.
And his English is almost impeccable since he used to live in the US at one point
If he hosts the contest with his sister, that would be freaking awesome
TheMCzorro yes just like Mans. But i think that nobody can beat Mans hosting.
Who knows
who?
The best Eurovision Song contest ever - Baku 2012 !!!
The voiceover guy: the Eurovision Song Contest has token place every year since 1956
2020: *ahem
its from 2017
Last year is well organized in Tel Aviv and should be like Eurovision tradition every year, hit Like if you with me.
lol, bring up the fact that 2012 was built late but ignore all the people who were kicked out of their homes
Jamie Holding Yes. That makes it the worst contest ever. I hoped that the countries would had withdrawn from it, but no.....
in your dreams
Jim H first of all, those "houses " were illegal 2. That place was polluted by oil reserves so they had to clean there anyway and + government gave them money or apartment so don't believe to everything that you hear in news...
Btw I'm not a pro government and at so many cases I'm against them so...
When will be the official list of countries that will take part in ESC 2018??
Wasn't today the deadline??
Giovanni Sghedoni I believe they typically announce the official list approximately six weeks after the deadline. Today is the deadline for countries to apply, but countries still can withdraw after applying to enter. Unless I'm incorrect.
Northie Stangl
Last year the deadline was on October 31st and this channel published a video with the 43 official countries (with Russia) on October 31st...
Bem, como todos puderam ver, Portugal esteve á altura e apresentou um grande espetáculo , em todos os sentidos !
Lol Lulu just skipping into collect the trophy
Edin"BRUH"
😂😂😂😂
You should add 2020 to this.
i have only two question...
WHERE DO YOU FIND THOSE GIANT SCREENS AND WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL THOSE VISUALIZERS TO SHOW IN THE GIANT SCREENS!?
Really? nothing about thousands of pounds invested, new roads built and phone and electricity cables installed to host the contest in an equestrian centre in a village in rural Ireland in 1993?
Hosting Eurovision is a challenge in 2020
I truly believe 1970's were the best years for Eurovision, especially 1971 :)
"The 1980 contest was the last contest that was not hosted in the country that won the year before."
This already became untrue with the Netherlands hosting in 2021 since it said the *year* before. But if this is taken to mean the previous contest, it might be untrue with 2023 because nobody even knows which country will host it in 2023.
Perfect for 2023
The best Esc 2012 Baku ❤️
No, definitely not the best.
Yes. ♥️🇦🇿
I think the best evrevison was in the Baku .Because location of crystal hall very interesting and not only for the location everything was good opening ceremony and closing ceremony everything was perfect
Baku super Eurovision👍
Yeah 💪🏼💪🏼🇵🇹
Netta: bucka bucka bucka
Idiots: first first first
Uk: host host host

Nice irony
Nice :)
Again Australia hype in a video with nothing I didn't knew before. And why is not the best quality video used for the 1973 snippet?
Without germany they wouldn’t even be able to pay that.
The BBC to the rescue 😂 thank god for the BBC
Yeah, like 2015...👀👀
Europe sent a powerful message when it voted for Jamala
Eurovision 2020 in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
2021*
Do you ever get the feeling that school's going so badly the BBC ought to step in and do the exams for you?
First one i kinda remember
Eurovision 2012 is the best contest.Because eurovision 2012 is in Azerbaijan
Hikmet1972 Seferli lol 😂
Yes!
@@arm2294 Armenian!?
Eurovision is an interesting singing competition, the only that has interested me. Unfortunately, my nation isn't in it nor can we vote.
the question is where r u from?
From the United States of America.
Publius Cornelius Scipio you can still watch the livestream tho
I actually could not. Every time I tried to watch Eurovision Live on CZcams or elsewhere, it says "not available in your country". Then I decided to change my country to various different nations, but somehow the computer knew where I was really from and I was never able to watch Eurovision live.
Publius Cornelius Scipio that sucks for you man
Also I really love the historical refrence in your username
Edinbruh.
Good luck with it, Portugal. At that time I may visit Italy to let you all know who my winner was...... the winner of my heart.
We'll miss you so much!!
Hahaha..... don't worry I'll keep coming back Eurovision has always been my obsession and it will stay that way..... but I'm sure Italy is beautiful in May :))
Sure it is but if you do not come to Portugal they probably have to cancel Eurovision
Ofcourse :)
Yeah if it puts such a financial burden on countries then maybe we should think of an alternative 🧐
I still don't understand why. Concerts make money! Tourism makes money! The tickets to Eurovision aren't free!
This is just shaaade
The 90s was to Ireland what the 90s was for Mariah Carey!
Portugaaaaal
LISBON Best CIty
Oh man, this happened way before Israel won this year. At least it's going smoothly now, but for a while it was nerve-wracking.
It's kind of something that some people sort of emphasize that "Ukraine beat the 'favorite' Russia in 2016." It's as if Russia was even in second place, and it's as if the actual second place, Australia, was not a favorite either. As if, in addition, that Ukraine was not among the top contenders of the trophy because Ukraine was. I mean, people can just generally say that Ukraine beat all the other favorites, instead of emphasizing on just one particular "non-winner" (or "loser" some people may actually pointedly say) to juxtapose with Ukraine.
Yodle squad is here
It's lucky Ireland haven't won it recently as RTE have no money. They've had to sell part of their land off and it doesn't help that they pay some of their presenters outrageous salaries for a country with a small audience.
0:55 when the contest was held in Azerbaijan in 2012, they had a giant flag
Just look how big it is wow
Probably not that interesting tho
Well then
Eurovision Kazakhstan
I think Sweden and Finland stepped in in 2002 to help Estonia financially.
I remember when Estonia won in 2001. Nobody knew where the competition would even be held. Sounded ludicrous at the time.
I think you'll find Australia was the favourite (and should have been the rightful winner) of the 2016 contest.
Estonia wasnt under the Soviet Unions cruel hand anymore in 2002. False info.
*FORMER* Soviet Union
Challenging contests.... think about 2020 and corona
Notification squad where are you? if you notification squad +1
Where is 1991?
Oh god, Toto. He was most likely the worst host. Extremely annoying during the voting procedures. Gigliola wasn't as bad, though, but not that memorable. Reminded me of James Franco and Anne Hathaway at the Oscars.
