Please watch updated version here czcams.com/video/YyRuWKea0fs/video.html I know there are a lot more famous acts who have appeared at Eurovision. i just picked the 20 i thought people might know the most.
Actually ABBA, Céline Dion and Lara Fabian became stars after their participation. But there are a lot of stars missing like France Gall, Emma Marrone or Polina Gagarina.
I believe the order could change. For example Blue was a really famous British boy band before Eurovision, same with Cascada who sold a lot of albums and dance hits. And let's not how talk about the t.A.t.U girls, "All The Things She Said" is a cult following hit, they are Russia's biggest export to the music industry worldwide. Also, Bonnie Tyler!
Karamelli did I ever say that???????? No, like wtf.. I just thought this video was meant to about artists that were already big stars before they competed...
Lilja Karen Well ABBA was big name in Sweden and they all had success in Sweden before ABBA. So case solve i hope you agree? Last but least the list is not my. So if you have problem with that please write to that person who made the list. Peace!
@@flytothesky407 But that's the case for a lot of these and is the reason they were chosen according to the description. Abba and Celine Dion's large careers started thanks to Eurovision, they weren't at all as famous prior to their wins.
@@fisichella78 Lol shame on you then - They are one of the most successful dance music artists of all of time from the 00's, so they are known to a lot of people. 30-45 millions records sold! Everytime We Touch, Evacuate The Dancefloor, What Hurts and Miracle were their biggest hits, being certified worldwide.
Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias and Abba yes deserved top 3... But lot of your top 20 are not even known outside Europe and Cascada, Tatu and Blue entered into American industry and have lot of hits, not only in USA, also in LatinAmerica, and they are in bottom 5?? Come on... Nicky Byrne was part of Westlife, and the group had more success than your top 10 together (without top3 and Olivia Newton), and you left him behind. Maybe you don't know but Bonnie Tyler sings major hit 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'.
Oh! And one thing to add. If she was a one hit wonder, only the people who lived in that period of time when that song was so popular... Why do I know her songs if I'm only a teenager?
Caroline Kristiansen Yes, and I think she got the last place, but don't trust me at all, because I'm not sure. She is also one of the reasons of the Australian participations in Eurovision
Well, it’s about the song naturally, and Raphael had a stunning!!! song Sprechen Wir Von Der Liebe, and all contesters were so lucky to be accompanied by the Vienna orchestra, wow, 1967 was a very good Eurovision year.... I’m not Spanish ; )
Alla Pugacheva was very well known in Sweden back in the 1980’s (my family had several records with her), but I don’t know if she was well known outside Russia and Scandinavia before her entry in the ESC 1997. But she’s definently on my top 3 list.
@@swanskogjsson151 she was also popular in Yugoslavia, East Germany (DDR), India and Balkan countries. Btw I still have her swedish 7" vinyl called "Superman"
CÉLINE DION ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I don't know how well known he is outside of the UK, but I'd like to add Michael Ball since nobody else has mentioned him. He's a massive star in musical theatre in the UK.
Massiel, Raphael, Paloma San Basilio, David Civera, Mocedades, Azúcar Moreno, Bravo, Sergio Dalma, ESDM, Il Volo they are very very very famous, they even are part of the Latin American market selling a lot of albums... Then Polina Gagarina, Philip Kirkov, Sergey Lasarev, Nina Zilli, Francesa Michelin, Katrina and The Waves, Johnny Logan, Kate Ryan, Domenico Modugno, Udo Jürgens, Helena Paparizou, Carola, Nicky Byrne, Guy Sebastian, Dami Im, Las Ketchup and more and more... I know are 20 entries but try the collect all the famous singers (before and after their participation in ESC) it's a hard work. BTW, Il Volo have many Latin Grammys...
Baccara, T.A.T.U., Bonnie Tyler, Cliff Richard, Patricia Kaas, Olivia Newton-John, Julia Iglesias, Celine Dion, and ABBA - Yes, they are big stars. But about half of these artists are very unknown. Just because they were well-known for ESC for one night or week, doesn't make them big. Or the fact they are popular in their home country. I would add CatCat, Jari Sillanpää, and Laura Voutilainen because they are very popular here in Finland. Also Christine Guldbrandsen is popular in my appartment - she was actually quite famous before ESC.
They didn't become world stars...they were world stars. Cliff Richard became world star because of ESC? Say that to him and you will get a kick from him. The only thing people remember from Olivia N-J is Grease musical or WTF is that. Bonnie Tyler...I guess we know her for the songs like "Holding Out for a hero", "Lost in France", "Total Eclipse of the Heart". I didn't ESC participants cannot be stars. I say it is on the way to success. Finladn won ESC with the band Lordi - where are they now? No one takes them seriously because they became disposable culture.
Katrina & The Waves, Françoise Hardy, Nana Mouskouri, The Shadows, France Gall, Domenico Modugno, The New Seekers, Ofra Haza, Sonia, Silver Convention, Matt Monro, Lara Fabian, Johny Logan, Mary Hopkin, Las Ketchup, Nicky Byrne, DJ Bobo, Anggun, Al Bano, Natasha St Pier, Kate Ryan, Plastic Bertrand, Umberto Tozzi, Patrick Juvet... they all have had at least one worldwide hit, something many on the list haven't.
@@sisarka468 Lol exactly, I was like how she's so low on this, Cascada is way more successful than a lot of people here, sold about 30-45 Million records worldwide and one of the most successful dance music artists
Vicky Leandros singing for Luxembourg was regarded as a a star when she won. Similarly the Italian singer who won in the 60's with non ho leta (excuse the spelling) returned in the year when ABBA won with Si
What about Jemini, they are super famous for scoring zilcho points in 2003. (This should also be in your goosebumps selection). I just love them curtains Olivia Newton John is wearing
You miss 3 Portuguese that deserve be here: Paulo Carvalho (1974), the only singer/song that his tune starting a revolution worldwide, Dulce Pontes (1991), that had a worlwide career and by now still is very wellknown abroad, and Dora (1986 and 1988) that had two presences in ESC
Shame you missed Nana Mouskouri off the list (1963 for Luxembourg) Nana's appearance on Eurovision led to her doing a BBC series which sold worldwide and launched her career - after over 50 years of singing she has sold more than 350 million albums and all music professionals regard her as one of the most successful female singers of all time.
Where is Edyta Gorniak？？She was awarded as the best voice in Eurovision by spain national TV. She was signed by EMI Internatioanl，her album producter was Christopher Neil, who was responsible for the international success of Celine Dion.All of her first international album was composed by the authors for michael jackson,maria carey,celine dion,madona!!!!!
I feel so dumb cuz I've been singing ''congratulations and celebrations~~'' for Y E A R S! Since I was like ten (now 18) and I had no idea it was from ESC XD
Yes, Nana has sold 55 billion albums but no one just owns one. LOL I like her beats and guitar sounds though. I was more interested of Crazy Frog and him using classical instruments. And Rebecca Black? The best selling artists of all-time!!! Katy Perry is of course the most influential musician.
Some of these people only became big stars AFTER being on Eurovision - what about all the entrants that were already stars in their own country or Europe BEFORE Eurovision ? There’s Dana International, Sertab Erener, Nana Mouskouri, Verka Serduchka , Malena Ernman & Sergey Lazarev just off the tip of my tongue !
well, Nana Mouskouri also appeared on Eurovision in 1963 representing Luxembourg, she is famous for the song *Morning has broken* & *White Rose of Athens* (she was latter a special guest in 2006 when the contest was held in Athens)
TATU! They went just huge in Latin America; in Mexico, they were so popular that even the Russian versions of their albums were edited and managed to enter the top20. I just knew about the existence of eurovision because of them.
Top 3 is unquestionable. It had to be them :) I don't see why Sakis is 6th :S (Is he super known outside of Greece?) And I miss Il Volo. They sell albums and make concerts in almost all Europe (and America)
Atakan Alisir "Nobody's wife" and "Lost" must be some of her songs that were really popular internationally. I know because I was also listening to anouk before eurovision lol
Now we also got; Netta (Israel 2018) Benjamin Ingrosso (Sweden 2018) Darude (Finland 2019) Mahmood (Italy 2019) Duncan Laurence (The Netherlands 2019) Little Big (Russia 2020) TIX (Norway 2021) Måneskin (Italy 2021)
I would say 3 names that were pretty famous (also in the USA) in there heyday are missing. Denmark entry in 1978 had Mike Tramp singing boom boom with the band Mabel, he became very famous as the lead singer from White Lion in the 80's. Also Jenny Frost who's famous as the very hot girl from Atomic Kitten in 2001-2004 was in Eurovision in 1999 with the group Precious. Also Vicky Leandros was a huge star in the 70's. She won the Eurovision in 1972.
France Gall, Lara Fabian, Kate Ryan, Nicky Byrne are missing as they are/were known internationally. Hadise is only known in Belgium and Turkey (both home countries). Bilan and Joksimovic are only known in their specific regions (Russia and neighbours / Balkan - Serbia, Croatia...)
Ofra Haza! One of the greatest Israeli singers! maybe you can make a part 2 of this video with suggestions from the comments! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
Nicky Byrne, Lara Fabian, Anggun, Arash and Las Ketchup should be added too. They were even famous outside Europe, in Indonesia for example. At least, it was a good list however 😀
Please watch updated version here czcams.com/video/YyRuWKea0fs/video.html I know there are a lot more famous acts who have appeared at Eurovision. i just picked the 20 i thought people might know the most.
Karl Compton Lara Fabian was on eurovision to she is a big deal in europe and america
Nicky Byrne is a former member of
WESTLIFE!! he should have at least been on this list
Then clearly, Сергей Лазарев (2016 - Россия) slipped under your radar.
Actually ABBA, Céline Dion and Lara Fabian became stars after their participation. But there are a lot of stars missing like France Gall, Emma Marrone or Polina Gagarina.
I believe the order could change. For example Blue was a really famous British boy band before Eurovision, same with Cascada who sold a lot of albums and dance hits. And let's not how talk about the t.A.t.U girls, "All The Things She Said" is a cult following hit, they are Russia's biggest export to the music industry worldwide. Also, Bonnie Tyler!
ABBA always and forever number one. 😍😍
But ABBA became big after Eurovision right?
Lilja Karen well i didint make this List. Right?
Karamelli did I ever say that???????? No, like wtf.. I just thought this video was meant to about artists that were already big stars before they competed...
Lilja Karen Well ABBA was big name in Sweden and they all had success in Sweden before ABBA. So case solve i hope you agree? Last but least the list is not my. So if you have problem with that please write to that person who made the list. Peace!
At least ABBA was famous after ESC. Majority of these artists on this list are not well-known at all.
I cant believe that Bonnie Tyler has been in Eurovision!
Celine Dion and ABBA are two of the most iconic, famous and best selling music artists that ever came out of Eurovision.
Where is Epic saxophone guy? Lol
TheAronFreyr No one knows what is his name and that he is in Sunstroke Project so i guess he is not popular
PassingWord i don't think so
I guess he doesn't count because eurovision made him famous and he wasn't prior
@@flytothesky407 But that's the case for a lot of these and is the reason they were chosen according to the description. Abba and Celine Dion's large careers started thanks to Eurovision, they weren't at all as famous prior to their wins.
He got famous from Eurovision, we are talking people who were famous before.
you forgot ANGGUN, LAS KETCHUP AND KATRINA & THE WAVES
I missed Katrina and the waves too... Walking on Sunshine was an enormous hit of its time... .
and johnny LOGAN . he wın 2tımes as a sınger and 1 tıme wın whıt hıs song
AND Brotherhood of Men
And now Darude is a Part of Esc 2019 😂😊
If he'd could participate in the ESC's 2019 final, maybe author had added him in this video
@@dannyzeev574 this video was posted in October 2017
Flo Rida in 2021:)
Saara Aalto too. After being the runner up of UK Xfactor she's well known in Europe
And with a very shitty song.
Helena Paparizou is more famous than Sakis Rouvas I think.
I am late but it is kinda true in the early 2000s sakis was one of the most famous artists here on Greece
I don't think so..when Sakis Rouvas was a star nobody knew Paparizou...
Sakis Rouvas had a funbase so big and so fanatic we had memes about it
That said I believe Paparizou should have been included
Sakis Is way more famous than Paparizou
@@SingersNewSongs my mom was dancing on Sakis with me in her stomach ( im from Serbia )
Alexander Rybak become pretty big after Eurovision.
After.....And not that big lol
who the fuck is intersted about rybak anymore
ABBA also became famous after Eurovision
Your native language isn't probably English so I don't want seem mean when I say this but, it's "Became"
@@stefanitaalexandru8132 discription says either before or became big after
France Gall?
YASSSS!!! 💖
Cascada’s result was really disappointing because she is really well known in Europe... song could’ve been a bit better though!
Never heard of cascada... And I'm from Europe
A bit? The song was so lame
I think it's a group...
@@fisichella78 im sure you've heard her song Everytime we touch before

Maybe you don't know but Bonnie Tyler sings major hit 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'.
Agreed, Bonnie Tyler also sang I need a Hero which was a massive song, definitely in the UK
mattiago silva Yes. Bonnie Tyler is considered a one hit wonder but I think Total Eclipse of the Heart had more success than lot of singers here .
Hauke Holst I don't know about her whole life, just about that Mtv and some magazines consider her as a One Hit Wonder.
Hello? Holding out for a hero? It's a heartache? Those two songs are very famous. She's not a one hit wonder.
Oh! And one thing to add. If she was a one hit wonder, only the people who lived in that period of time when that song was so popular... Why do I know her songs if I'm only a teenager?
Where is Katrina and the Waves?
Olivia Newton-John was in eurovision?!😱
Caroline Kristiansen Yes, and I think she got the last place, but don't trust me at all, because I'm not sure. She is also one of the reasons of the Australian participations in Eurovision
@ Vic 957: Olivia actually came 4th, Vic. Not last at all!
She came 4th, the song wasn't good at all, but Eurovision started her career essentially.
Its interesting to se all the old esc songs, you get a lot of suprises
4th. Beaten by a relatively unknown group called ABBA. What ever happened to them??
Patricia Kaas, the most classic woman even in Eurovision. 🇫🇷 ❤️
I miss raphael from Spain and Lara fabian from Luxembourg. They are also super huge
gadea iglesias sordo Good, I'M NOT THE INLY ONE WHO'S MISSING RAPHAEL!!😊😂😂
Well, it’s about the song naturally, and Raphael had a stunning!!! song Sprechen Wir Von Der Liebe, and all contesters were so lucky to be accompanied by the Vienna orchestra, wow, 1967 was a very good Eurovision year.... I’m not Spanish ; )
Anggun is a huge one to forget, Snow on the Sahara was an international hit! Jessica Mauboy this year is very well established in Oceania
So is Guy Sebastian and he also had some moderate success in the US. Both of them are currently judges on our version of The Voice actually.
Arash, Philipp Kirkorov, Alla Pugacheva, Dana International, Verka Serduchka, Lara Fabian, Dschinghis Khan, Guy Sebastian???
Toto Cutugno!
Are these famous in your hometown, right? AhahahahHahha
Alla Pugacheva was very well known in Sweden back in the 1980’s (my family had several records with her), but I don’t know if she was well known outside Russia and Scandinavia before her entry in the ESC 1997. But she’s definently on my top 3 list.

Kristina Ilic also in Bosnia!
I guess he's popular all over the Balkans, but as well I think that outside the Balkan area, only Eurovision fans know him.
He is popular here in Azerbaijan as well
I definitely agree wth top 3, but I do miss Il Volo and Al Bano & Romina Power.

ola44445 ikr!!! No one like then
Because it's a personal countdown.
Never had heard of them before and nothing after that. Good song tho.
They were third or second idk it's the 16th place they performed after 15 entry
Missing Kate Ryan and Nicky Byrne...
What about Toto Cutugno?

I actually liked Bonnie Tyler’s entry!
Bonnie Tyler only 15th... She's the hugest star in recent Eurovision history. TATU are more famous than Dima Bilan. Cascada should be in top 10.
Nicky Byrne should have been on the list, He with Westlife was so popular
Where’s Toto Cutigno, Lara Fabian, Kate Ryan? Aren’t the “big” stars?
And now we have flo rida lol
Why is everyone complaining that someone is missing? Enjoy Eurovision's music
Anggun was also a big star before she joined Eurovision. She might not be a big name in Europe, but she was and is still big in South East Asia
Where is Johnny Logan
What about Jemini, they are super famous for scoring zilcho points in 2003. (This should also be in your goosebumps selection). I just love them curtains Olivia Newton John is wearing

Vicky Leandros was more famous than Baccara
@@andreasdiamandis3395 Neither Celine Dion. No one has idea who she was.

She was signed by EMI Internatioanl，her album producter was Christopher Neil, who was responsible for the international success of Celine Dion.All of her first international album was composed by the authors for michael jackson,maria carey,celine dion,madona!!!!!
Domenico Modugno and Nel blu di pinto di blu (Volare)... it's a 50's Eurovision entry that put him on the map and I still hear that song on the radio.
Anggun..is popular in France,Italy and Indonesia,
I feel so dumb cuz I've been singing ''congratulations and celebrations~~'' for Y E A R S! Since I was like ten (now 18) and I had no idea it was from ESC XD
Lordi, I think a lot of people would know as well
But not before their win
Anna Vissi😍🇨🇾
Bonnie Tyler 💎
Katrina & The Waves should be on this list. They had international hits prior to ESC.
Where the hell is Nana??? She sold 100 million albums. Should be number 4!
Nana Mouskouri right?
Samo Lee yeah I was thinking the same lol
Cascada has sold more than 500 million albums. Baccara has sold more than 1 billion albums. And ABBA....3 billion albums sold!!!
Nana Mouskouri, the best female selling singer of all times. More albums sold than madona and celine dion!
Yes, Nana has sold 55 billion albums but no one just owns one. LOL I like her beats and guitar sounds though. I was more interested of Crazy Frog and him using classical instruments. And Rebecca Black? The best selling artists of all-time!!! Katy Perry is of course the most influential musician.
Oh it's your personal top :o
I already tought; shouldn't bonnie tyler be higher? :p
Cascada, Lara Fabian, Toše Proeski ;)
Marina Satti, Olly Alexander, Angelina Mango and Nutsa Butzaladze are the celebrities that are competing this year in Malmo
omg I love Blue, but probably never noticed that they were in esc :o I REMEMBER THAT SONG AND PERFORMANCE THOUGH
Lara Fabian? Tot Cutugno? Brotherhood of the man?
Cascada 💗
Some of these people only became big stars AFTER being on Eurovision - what about all the entrants that were already stars in their own country or Europe BEFORE Eurovision ? There’s Dana International, Sertab Erener, Nana Mouskouri, Verka Serduchka , Malena Ernman & Sergey Lazarev just off the tip of my tongue !
well, Nana Mouskouri also appeared on Eurovision in 1963 representing Luxembourg, she is famous for the song *Morning has broken* & *White Rose of Athens* (she was latter a special guest in 2006 when the contest was held in Athens)
and in 2006, Real McCoy represented Poland with Ich Troje
Dami had multiple Platinum & Gold albums and singles prior to Eurovision. She should be top 3 on this list.
Helena paparizou is mega popular!
Petar Majer where?
Tiago Picas in Europe.
Only in Cyprus and Greece
Not even there lol
ESC Cedric in Scandinavian counties too, especially Sweden.
TATU! They went just huge in Latin America; in Mexico, they were so popular that even the Russian versions of their albums were edited and managed to enter the top20. I just knew about the existence of eurovision because of them.
Top 3 is unquestionable. It had to be them :)
I don't see why Sakis is 6th :S (Is he super known outside of Greece?)
And I miss Il Volo. They sell albums and make concerts in almost all Europe (and America)
Il Volo are not that famous, but Domenico Modugno and Toto Cotugno should be on the list
Sakis is famous in France too.He did so many concerts in France.
Marina Mucić Il Volo ARE famous, especially in Americas. But I agree about Modugno and Cutugno.
What about Domenico Modugno?
I think Anouk should have been on the list
Anouk ? Lol no one knows her outside the netherlands
I know :)
You should check her biography then. She was known before eurovision ;)
Andreas Diamantis only in the netherlands believe me
Atakan Alisir "Nobody's wife" and "Lost" must be some of her songs that were really popular internationally. I know because I was also listening to anouk before eurovision lol
Honorable mention for Plushenko :P
Your beging is perfect
Hari mata hari and Dino Merlin are very popular in ex yugoslavia and they were pretty high up in the finale too 🙂
No Il Volo? What a shocker.
Bonnie Tyler would be Top 5 shes a huge international star, bigger than Sakis Rouvas thats for sure
Where is Vicky Leandros or Helena Paparizou? I really love abba and Celine!
Françoise Hardy? She was massive before Eurovision.
Now we also got;

Mahmood (Italy 2019)
Duncan Laurence (The Netherlands 2019)

Måneskin (Italy 2021)

Denmark entry in 1978 had Mike Tramp singing boom boom with the band Mabel, he became very famous as the lead singer from White Lion in the 80's. Also Jenny Frost who's famous as the very hot girl from Atomic Kitten in 2001-2004 was in Eurovision in 1999 with the group Precious. Also Vicky Leandros was a huge star in the 70's. She won the Eurovision in 1972.
Yes Celine Dion and ABBA were/are huge stars, but they weren’t big stars when the entered Eurovision.
France Gall, Lara Fabian, Kate Ryan, Nicky Byrne are missing as they are/were known internationally.
Hadise is only known in Belgium and Turkey (both home countries). Bilan and Joksimovic are only known in their specific regions (Russia and neighbours / Balkan - Serbia, Croatia...)
Mary Hopkin was very big at the time she entered
Ofra Haza! One of the greatest Israeli singers! maybe you can make a part 2 of this video with suggestions from the comments! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
Baccara!!! I wish Donna Summer (R.I.P) sang in Eurovision for U.K or other great nations
Nicky Byrne, Lara Fabian, Anggun, Arash and Las Ketchup should be added too. They were even famous outside Europe, in Indonesia for example. At least, it was a good list however 😀
Strange that no-one remembered DJ Bobo
How about Hooverphonic and Flo Rida? (Eurovision 2021)
even before I had seen the video, I already knew who will occupy the first two places. Like the movie Titanic, you know how it will turn out.
Wow The UK is on this list quite a lot. That's good. From ONJ to bankrupt Blue
ABBA! 😍😍
