I'd thought we'd lose something by not having Graham commentating during the results this year as his reactions and comments are always hilarious but being able to SEE him this year, his visual reactions, links and faces to Hannah really made up for that, Mel was also a great addition.
I completely agree! Graham and his iconic commentary was why I started watching Eurovision in the first place so I was gutted knowing he wouldn’t be in the commentary box as much this year (although I’ve been rooting for the UK to win just so that he could finally get a chance to host!) But the moment they announced that he would be presenting the voting section (and with the queen that is Hannah Waddingham no less) I knew it was going to be amazing. Seeing him actually have to interact with the spokespeople was even funnier than him just slagging them off behind their backs 😭
Eurovision hosts *always* have a weird awkward energy about them, regardless of how they interact with each other. It's because Eurovision dictates that only people with a weird awkward energy are qualified to perpetuate its ancient reputation of awkwardness and corruption.
I think it's usually just down to at least 2/3rds of the hosts having to host in a language that is not their mother tongue.. speaking english is one thing but "acting", or being funny in a different language, that's much much more advanced.
@@JT29501 I'd agree with that. I think that's why Scandinavia does it so well, because they "get" British humour as a result of how widely English is spoken in that region.
Exactly! Much more natural. The hosts are usually the worst thing about Eurovision if you ask me - they are always soo artificial and awkard. Probably too terrified at the sheer number of people who are watching them live, to be able to relax. And the languages they aren't used to, like you say. So many times I've cringed at the rehearsed jokes and wished they'd just cut them, because they *never* come off as funny. This year, however, proved that it is possible within this concept to have good hosts who dare to show a little bit of who they are. Clearly the Brits can do this, at least in the case of people as experienced as Graham Norton.

@@jelibi99 So in the Show „Ted Lasso“ Hannah plays the main lead, Rebecca Welton, who owns a football (soccer) club. Ted Lasso, the trainer, gives Rebecca every morning one single biscuit in a little box to gain her appreciation. The German moderator made a reference to that by offering her a biscuit in a box as well :)
I love these two so much. My friend attended the grand final and told us that you couldn't hear them presenting over the crowd chanting "cha cha cha" 🤣
Honestly it’s so much funnier if you know Elton he’s kind of the weirdo/shy guy and if it looked like his little joke with the biscuit made him nervous, that’s probably because it did
Honestly, this year has been all over the place, but at least the four of them made the 'funny' jokes a little less awkward and a little more believable lol
For the non-Dutch speakers: 'goed' in goed gedaan [well done] in a particular Flemish accent sounds like 'hoed' [hat]. And Gustaph had the most wonderful hat. That's the joke, I wonder if even most Dutch viewers got it, but I'm sure it got a nice cringe from the Flemish viewers lmao.
@@violentbob ja je moet denk ik Nederlander die in Vlaanderen woont/heeft gewoond om die vertaalslag te maken hahaha, dit was mij voor ik hier kwam wonen ook niet opgevallen denk ik.
I was so confused as to why the German bloke offered Hannah waddingham a biscuit, wasn’t until I watched Ted Lasso over the weekend I was like “oh now I get it” 😂🤣😂
@@lukesoddlife Ireland's jury person this year was Niamh who narrowly won Sonia in Eurovision in 1993. I believe Niamh won by one point and the final jury that year decided who would win so it was a nail-biting moment when they said "and finally... Ireland"
@@LA90598 and you think that it costs 200 million to stage the Eurovision? Really? You must know some cheap stage companies then because I can assure you, it still costs more than that.
Thanks for this! I missed a lot of their reactions. Graham and Hannah were brilliant and, yes, Mel was fine too. A lot didn't seem to like her but I enjoyed her commentary
It's funny how when that voter sung loreens song to show who they voted for, the commentator didn't know what song it was... You'd think the "winner" would be memorable
I don’t think it’s in this clip but I loved when the audience had another round of shouting “cha cha cha” I’m sure Graham after having to endure it again said something along the lines of “yes we know you like that one”
The Brits should host every year. Honestly, this was the most classy AND hilarious Eurovision show I've seen. They did not take it too seriously and instead made fun of some of the cringe that this show always provides
@@in_wino_veritas hey, eurovision is fabulous and a little messy though, it's not serious and that's why we love it- i always think it doesn't matter who wins to enjoy it
I loved Hannah immediately after she shutted these dumbos who booed Italy down with "no booing not in our house". She was the only one who finally said anything against that. Because thats so disrespectful
It was definitely not because he was gay. Are you serious? This is Eurovision. 90% of the audience are gay. It was due to the consistent voting for your neighbour. The audience usually do the same to Greece and Cyprus. Disrespectful? I don't think so. I think it's more disrespectful to cheat by always voting for your neighbour.
Very moving to hear an a predominantly scouse audience give the Irish Jury a huge roar. Bigger than Ive ever heard from a UK based eurovision. Liverpool has links to Ireland and in particlar Dublin and vice versa. One of friendliest cities in the world 🇮🇪
Me wonders for two things: 1. Did Graham and Mel do a portion on the booth together? 2. And was Mel wearing the butter churn dress the whole time on the booth?
Yes Graham and Mel shared the role, Graham did the first 10 minutes and then Mel took over for about 20 minutes whilst Graham hosted the intro. Graham then covered until midway through the acts before heading back to host the main show. Mel then covered the rest of the show including the voting I’m afraid I don’t know the second answer but I so wish she did 😂
I thought Eurovision was brilliant this year and it definitely absolutely had nothing to do with the fact that im a lesbian and Hannah was speaking french
Normally by the time we get to the results Graham is slightly grumpy and tipsy and has no time for anyone's rubbish, I know he was dying inside having to keep it professional.
that dude mentioning edgar allan poe confused the shit out of me and my dad. we were like austria is getting 12 points then, nope. some of these point announcers are just fuckin mental.
7:29 I still don't know if Graham looked at the screen because he was thinking "why this face its so familiar" (Ruth Lorenzo, she participated in X factor UK in 2008) or if he wanted to look at her cleavage up close hahaha .
I'd thought we'd lose something by not having Graham commentating during the results this year as his reactions and comments are always hilarious but being able to SEE him this year, his visual reactions, links and faces to Hannah really made up for that, Mel was also a great addition.

Yeah! Hannah and Graham are so amazing together
I think we need to petition for a camera in his commentary box next year so we can watch him as well as the rest of the show
Mel ruined the results by constantly talking
For me I prefer Graham to be in his booth and not being visible.
As for Hannah,she was so annoying.
These two were perfect usually the hosts have a weird awkward energy between them but these two were like two friends hosting eurovision i loved it

"Oh I wonder where they are ..."

And no, we couldn’t hear them in the crowd.
I adore Hannah Waddingham. The perfect choice to host this year!
I need the UK to win bc i need more of them in my life.

i have to say i think the best part of this year was watching the hosts getting more and more pissed off at the audience for yelling CHA CHA CHA

Where was the "NO BOOING, NOT IN OUR HOUSE!" part because I swear that was the most iconic thing ever

Can someone tell me what 07:29 is about? Why is Hannah laughing and Graham looking puzzled?
Hannah appeared in a British sitcom based in Benidorm and I think Graham was making light of the fact the beach was empty
Malta Jury guy, low level mobster with a secret desire to perform on Broadway
I have to ask before the 26th song what was the point in hannah talking when there was 1 more song to go why?
Buying time to remove the Croatian props and put in the UK’s, I imagine.
it's a way to hype the UK performance, being host country and all.
To get Croatia’s props off and bring on maes massive platform
