Fucking Sweden kill it every time! I cannot explain why this song makes me cry. It could 've for a number of reasons . Perhaps it's because I found out I was pregnant with my oldest that year 6 months after miscarrying a baby of nearly 5 months. Maybe because I was in Stockholm in March of the same year and I miss it so much. Maybe it's just the frequency of Loreen's voice. I just love it but when it comes to songs that make me cry my eyes out just mentioning the title, Euphoria is up there with Tears in Heaven!
Morgana Madrid I’m so sorry your loss. I agree that there is just something magical about Euphoria and Loreen. It cuts through and connects to us in such a powerful way.
I don't know why, but this version/performance of this song always makes me start to cry. And it specifically starts my eyes watering the moment she first says Euphoria.
All the opening and interval acts of Sweden throughout the years have been great. In different ways, and I can’t request one specifically. Just keep reacting and maybe get around to more of them soon. I really liked the very intricate smart “art pieces” of the semifinals back in 2016. The factory robot and the grey people. Love love peace peace is well known of course. And anything with Loreen and everything with Petra Mede. ;)
This song is so beautiful and this performance is so amazing. I don't know,it's the song that brought me back to Eurovision. I think the whole idea to focus on the message of the song, adding sign language to show a form of universality and togetherness is beautiful. Everything about the symbols wow. Even the idea to create the stage as the union between Europe and the biggest one is that bridge between Malmo and Copenhagen and linking Sweden to the continental Europe is mindblowing. Sweden is in another plan at the point, the way they are hosting this show is just unbelievable. Even if I didn't like Teardrop it was pretty crazy to see the symbolism of the whole show by having Denmark winning and hosting at the other end of this bridge, Copenhagen. This is some Nordic magic. Coming back to Loreen, she is such a great talent, she freaking deserves to be some much more known. Her music is so beautiful, it's music of our time but it feels like except for Euphoria she is forgotten, it's pretty sad.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me that found this an incredible and moving opening, but also that Loren clearly could have sung the whole thing with the kids backing, but instead the kids led with her supporting.
Here is the link Jake, hope you will enjoy it :D czcams.com/video/fNdrYzZ55gI/video.html And here is the opening act of esc 2014 :) czcams.com/video/3B0KLCPYc68/video.html
Loreen tried to represent Sweden in 2017 in their national show Melodifestivalen but failed to make it even to the final and stayed in the semi finals, the song is called statements
Yes, it was a bit to artsy for the competion. More focused on, well, a statement rather than being an enjoyable song to listen to. I love it though. Definetly interesting to react to at the very least.
PLEASE react to Loreens medley in the same year. Sooo good!! She is up in the air and all sort of cool stuff 😍😃 Thank you for your videos! I like them alot.
I loved your reaction. It was the first time I watched a video on your channel and I came across Loreen, who I'm a big fan of here in Brazil. When you talked about sign language and how someone - who previously could never hear this song - was able to understand it through the little ones' signs, it really made me think that we should do more of that. TKSM for this sz
Other opening/interval acts you should do: Loreen at the 2013 Final Petra at the 2013 Final Emilie at the 2014 Final Måns at the 2016 1SF Måns and Petra at the 2SF and Final (major Lol) And if you really wanna go old school... Riverdance at the 1994 Final
I can't wait for you to react to ESC 2015!!😱 That year is the strongest one for me, and I'm not even able to pick up my personal winner!!😍 Sooo many amazing songs!! Love your channel btw😍❤
This was one of the best opening acts ever if not the best one. Thank you, Jake (and followers), for bringing back this cool memory of ESC. I'll watch the original again. :)
ESC 2015 opening to the final was awesome too, you should do it. Loreen Medley interval act was really good too. 2014 Emmelie interval act, great perfomance. I remember watching Madcon interval act in ESC 2010 live, game me so many chills... I really love your channel!! I cant wait till next video!!
You should seriously react to more of Loreen. She is so so so good. Please react to her song "statements" with which she competed again in the swedish eurovision preselection in 2017
I watched this opening like a billion of times over the years and memorized every single sign and every single sound So why the heck am I crying each time?
This was my favourite Eurovision opening of all time, there are more going on here than you might think Jake. The show was held in Malmö, the bridge in the beginning is the Öresundsbridge which connects Sweden with Denmark but also Europe, we can see tiny butterflies fly towards the arena, it follows the theme which was "We are one", the perfomance itself displays this so beautifully, the kids and Loreen does this butterfly motion with their hands, when she comes in she walks on a bridge, she sings along with the children too and in the end she joins the crowd to ultimately display that We are one.
Actually, eurovision is the most viewed show in the world, superbowl record is about 111 millions and with eurovision it goes up to 600 million (according to Wikipedia) . PEACE :)
I LOVE your videos! I enjoyed this one the most! Please react to Loreen Statements? Didn't make it to the Eurovison but should have! Greetz from Holland :) You've got yourself a new fan :)
"Outside of the superbowl". Nope :) 186 million viewers 2018 for eurovision and 103 million viewers for the superbowl 2018 in the US. This was a great reaction video by the way! :)
You won`t regret to see how it is Loreen now. Please react to: Loreen at the concert for "Europe Day" in Congress Square Ljubljana, Slovenia, 9 May 2018
React to more opening and interval acts! Some of them are really amazing. I really like the swedish opening 2016 with "Heroes". The interval act "Love love peace" is fantastic as well. Being swedish I may be biased though.
You should react to Bosnia and Herzegovina (2006) - 3th place. That is one of the strongest ballads from Eurovision, and also very cultural and emotional.
I've watched it all start many times with goosebumps. It is good that she invited children with disabilities for this complete respect for her. It is also a great respect for the children that they agreed to take this step. Then she begins to sing this just a break in the heart of goosebumps and emotions to the exit of such a voice from her good she could release a lot of good songs that could also be hits. I really like We got the power and from the second Ride album, 71 charger Jupiter drive. But the Heal album I shield the most successful I like it better just learned about it thanks to the victory at Eurovision and then listened to her first album it is the most victorious for me I also know that she participated in idol sverige Where took 4th place in Russia was also this project was only 3 seasons she still performed at Europa plus live in Russia in 2013 and you can experiment but the main thing is that people like it to her worshipers who listen to her and love her concert in different towns and countries I am also her bow who expects something interesting and good from her to hook not only me but also lovers of her work.
Check out the Interval Act at the Grand Final in Sweden (2016) with Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede - Love Love Peace Peace Everything in that song is from past contests.
This performance is both epic and beautiful. It always moves me into tears watching it because of it's beauty. I don't know if you've watched Måns Zelmerlöws opening song for ECU 2016. But if you haven't, I strongly recommend you to watch it as well.
I hope you'll come around to the link I sent you in a message a while back it's also from 2012-2013. The good thing with Sweden is that we give very good shows. Europe was introduced to the amazing character of Lynda Woodruff in 2013 she's an amazingly bad spokesperson for the EBU lol
Hi Jake! I’m new to your channel but I really love your videos. Have you seen this: Loreen - My heart is refusing me ( LIVE - acoustic version )? This song was her entry to our Melodifestivalen the year before she won with Euphoria. The original song is great as well but this version gets me every time! Take care 👋🏻
You should react to the song Love Love Peace Peace. It was the year Mans won, and he and Pedra(your favorite host) were hosting that year!They sang it together!It's a song about how to win Eurovision!So accurate ;)
You should watch Loreen her song ‘Statements’ It was an entery for the national finals for the eurovision but didn’t make it to the eurovision semi-finals. Altough it is really an amazing song!
There are two things you need to watch from her: her Paperlight performance at the 2015 Melodifestivalen and her Melody at the ESC 2013 Grand Final Interlude Performance, they are amazing. (warning though the paperlight performance has serious strobe effects)
![[Vowel]물고기는 물에서 살아야 해🐟🤣Fish have to live in the water #funny](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3G9MH063Cx4/mqdefault.jpg)
She changed Eurovision, for good. Iconic.
I remember sitting in the sofa, watching this and thinking "Fuck! Something's changed, forever."
Dunno about that, nothing really changed.
Amen from sweden

Morgana Madrid I’m so sorry your loss. I agree that there is just something magical about Euphoria and Loreen. It cuts through and connects to us in such a powerful way.
7:32 actually Eurovision has a lot more viewers than the super bowl. Just so you know.
100 000 000 wiuers
About 100 mil for Super Bowl. Almost 200 for Eurovision. 206 million in 2016 which is the record to date.
I don't know why, but this version/performance of this song always makes me start to cry. And it specifically starts my eyes watering the moment she first says Euphoria.
Petra hosted the 2013 by herself & then co-presented the 2016 contest with 2015 winner Måns Zelmerlöw
difcymru they did an amazing job!

Hemming I love the grey people dance it’s so powerful and meaningful song!
The moment when Loreen joins ❤❤❤ Her voice is out of this world ❤❤
React to Loreen - Statements. Should have won Melodifestivalen and Eurovision...
Yes please reacts to Statements!
This song is so beautiful and this performance is so amazing. I don't know,it's the song that brought me back to Eurovision.

Andrew Daly yeah and it's a scandal!!
She came to second chance :) She lost against Anton Hagman
'Statements' was probably a too deep and qualified act to make it to Eurovision.
In my opinion at least!
Yes, it was a bit to artsy for the competion. More focused on, well, a statement rather than being an enjoyable song to listen to. I love it though.
Definetly interesting to react to at the very least.
Can't argue with you there, at all!
PLEASE react to Loreens medley in the same year. Sooo good!! She is up in the air and all sort of cool stuff 😍😃 Thank you for your videos! I like them alot.

It still gives me goosebumps! Hope you have a good and productive summer, Jake! I know teaching and school can take a lot out of someone!
It was even more amazing live ❤️ That bridge was so cool and all the artist walked there too.
I loved that u reacted to this opening!
What an incredible youtuber you are! I’m sitting her with tears in my eyes, watching your reaction. 🎶
Loreen is beyond amazing!! And you were spot on!!! And eurovision is Europes superbowl!!!! X
😮😮😍😍 Amazing! Breathtaking!!
I loved your reaction. It was the first time I watched a video on your channel and I came across Loreen, who I'm a big fan of here in Brazil.

Other opening/interval acts you should do:
Loreen at the 2013 Final
Petra at the 2013 Final
Emilie at the 2014 Final
Måns at the 2016 1SF
Måns and Petra at the 2SF and Final (major Lol)

This was one of the best opening acts ever if not the best one. Thank you, Jake (and followers), for bringing back this cool memory of ESC. I'll watch the original again. :)

ESC 2015 opening to the final was awesome too, you should do it.

Each and every winner is the person who gives the trophy to the next winner.
Goosebumps!! 😄😄
I watched this opening like a billion of times over the years and memorized every single sign and every single sound
So why the heck am I crying each time?
The best opening of Eurovision ever!! ❤❤❤
The interval act "Northern Lights" from 2013 is one of my favourites. :) Must have been awesome to be there!
This was my favourite Eurovision opening of all time, there are more going on here than you might think Jake. The show was held in Malmö, the bridge in the beginning is the Öresundsbridge which connects Sweden with Denmark but also Europe, we can see tiny butterflies fly towards the arena, it follows the theme which was "We are one", the perfomance itself displays this so beautifully, the kids and Loreen does this butterfly motion with their hands, when she comes in she walks on a bridge, she sings along with the children too and in the end she joins the crowd to ultimately display that We are one.
Actually, eurovision is the most viewed show in the world, superbowl record is about 111 millions and with eurovision it goes up to 600 million (according to Wikipedia) . PEACE :)
Edyta Chmielewska Eurovision is around 200 million
Jose Uribe not according to Wikipedia (both Polish and English).
Edyta Chmielewska it’s wrong
Jose Uribe It has some annotations so I am sure info was checked before someone wrote it in there, but you are free to change it ;) Have a nice day ;)
Edyta Chmielewska the page it was cited from was probably wrong then. Check official pages
WOW! I had actually not seen this.
YES LOREEN is QUEEN!
Proud Swede over here 😁🇸🇪
I LOVE your videos! I enjoyed this one the most! Please react to Loreen Statements? Didn't make it to the Eurovison but should have! Greetz from Holland :) You've got yourself a new fan :)

LOREEN IS LIFE !!!!!
"Outside of the superbowl". Nope :) 186 million viewers 2018 for eurovision and 103 million viewers for the superbowl 2018 in the US.
This was a great reaction video by the way! :)

React to more opening and interval acts! Some of them are really amazing.
I really like the swedish opening 2016 with "Heroes". The interval act "Love love peace" is fantastic as well. Being swedish I may be biased though.
You should react to Bosnia and Herzegovina (2006) - 3th place. That is one of the strongest ballads from Eurovision, and also very cultural and emotional.
Jake, please react to Loreen's interval act medley of her songs. It's amazing!
Here it is: czcams.com/video/f1h5QTFYoFc/video.html
You should watch the medley of loreen on that eurovision year. She used a song before also that she almost entered the eurovision before euphoria :)
That was a good one. Still want to see you watch Lordi open 2007 lol.
I've watched it all start many times with goosebumps. It is good that she invited children with disabilities for this complete respect for her. It is also a great respect for the children that they agreed to take this step. Then she begins to sing this just a break in the heart of goosebumps and emotions to the exit of such a voice from her good she could release a lot of good songs that could also be hits.

Where took 4th place in Russia was also this project was only 3 seasons she still performed at Europa plus live in Russia in 2013 and you can experiment but the main thing is that people like it to her worshipers who listen to her and love her concert in different towns and countries I am also her bow who expects something interesting and good from her to hook not only me but also lovers of her work.
Love Love Peace Peace, 2015 interval act I believe
2016, my bad
Check out the Interval Act at the Grand Final in Sweden (2016) with Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede - Love Love Peace Peace
Everything in that song is from past contests.
que grande lorenn la mejor de eurovision euphoria pasara a la historia es una gran cancion y lorenn es maravillosa unica en el mundo
you should meet her! she is soooo nice!
Also at this show was an opening hymn by Benny ans Björn (ABBA) and Avicii. Checkt that one out (called „We write the story “)
the amazing thing is that the singing children where blind and the children who used the sign-language where death thats why its extra beatiful
Shiri Maimon is well worth checking out
This performance is both epic and beautiful. It always moves me into tears watching it because of it's beauty. I don't know if you've watched Måns Zelmerlöws opening song for ECU 2016. But if you haven't, I strongly recommend you to watch it as well.
The host that year was Petra Mede she was alone that year. But i loved when she and Måns hosted eurovision. You should watch that show
I hope you'll come around to the link I sent you in a message a while back it's also from 2012-2013. The good thing with Sweden is that we give very good shows. Europe was introduced to the amazing character of Lynda Woodruff in 2013 she's an amazingly bad spokesperson for the EBU lol
2017 second semi-final opening, PLS!

This song was her entry to our Melodifestivalen the year before she won with Euphoria. The original song is great as well but this version gets me every time! Take care 👋🏻
In the 2013 final the finalist walked with the flags on that bridge :)
You should react to the song Love Love Peace Peace. It was the year Mans won, and he and Pedra(your favorite host) were hosting that year!They sang it together!It's a song about how to win Eurovision!So accurate ;)
You should watch Loreen her song ‘Statements’ It was an entery for the national finals for the eurovision but didn’t make it to the eurovision semi-finals. Altough it is really an amazing song!
React to Eurovision final 2016!!! The best intro ever! You will love it! Love from Sweden!🇸🇪💖
That´s how it´s done in Sweden.. We share the joy..
And I love your teeth and smile btw..
You have to react to the opening in the final 2016. Epic. Best in history.
React to the opening with Heroes at ESC 2016
Check out the opening of Eurovision 2009. That was crazy!
React to ”love,love,peace,peace 2016. Performed by the hosts.
There are two things you need to watch from her: her Paperlight performance at the 2015 Melodifestivalen and her Melody at the ESC 2013 Grand Final Interlude Performance, they are amazing. (warning though the paperlight performance has serious strobe effects)
Please react to Statements by Loreen! ☺
She didn't make it to ESC though. It was in Melodifestivalen 2017, and it was amazing! ❤
