I think the major thing is that Ukraine is even sending entries althrough everything theyre enduroing. And the way they often express themselves is so unique and spectacular. Winning is great sure, but the major thing with eurovision is participating. Truly! And were so proud of our ukranian hero brothers and sisters that just keep participating! Eurovision is the joint feeling of celebrating the diversity of a whole bloody continent! 🥳

The thing about Eurovision that a lot of people don’t realize is that it isn’t a talent show or a singing contest it’s a song contest. That’s why it’s fully original songs and not just covers of famous songs. Also that’s why the best singer doesn’t always win. Also it’s really important to have a great staging and overall performance as well. That’s what makes it so much fun!
@Ennello
I'd definitely be down for some Eurovision 2024 reactions!
@evawettergren7492
All those other contests are talent contests... this is a song contest. The artists performing are often well established with lots of experience. The point of Eurovision is to vote for the best song, not the best artist... though it can be debated how well that end up working.

Hi guys. 7th May was the first semi final, 9th May was the second semi final, 11th May was the final. Please watch it but as a previous comment said, you need time, as the final is 4 hours. Love the channel and much respect.
@drigerdranzer7514
And to update this video, now Sweden also won 7 times with Loreen being the first woman to win it twice, 2012 with Euphoria and 2023 with Tattoo.
@PandAlex
So interesting to see how people learn about Eurovision while for you it is something that you watch since you was like 5 and your parents tried to send you to sleep cause it ends around midnight or 2 am) Btw I would say there is no more purposely bad entries. I kinda feel 2024 has the best music)
@Alaska_arctic

The Eurovision Song Contest is run by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It should be noted that members of the EBU do not need to be in Europe and any full member can enter a song should they so wish. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are all full members. Israel, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are regular entrants and both Morocco and Turkey have entered in the past. Australia is an associate member, but because the song contest is so popular "down under", they have been invited to compete in recent years.
@RedAbsent
Hello from Ukraine. And thank you for your reaction video!
@Saturinus
No country is entering bad songs intentionally. You don't HAVE TO host, but it's a great honor and everyone wants to win. You can choose to just not participate in the first place if you can't afford it. Also, people didn't give the UK 0 points because of Brexit; the song was just that bad.
@softshallow7435
Since this video, last year Sweden’s Loreen won it for the second time first 2012 with Euphoria then in 2023 with Tattoo. First female to do it she equals and equals Johnny Logan’s record.
@fdcreis
Update: Since last year Ireland is not the country with most wins. Sweden won in 2023 equaling the number of victories of Ireland. Also, the singer for Sweden was Loreen whom had already won once for Sweden.

One Eurovision song that goes under the radar is 'nel blu dipinto di blu' which was the Italian entry in 1958 and came third. It was sung by Domenico Modugno and did very well in both Italy and the States. At this time other versions of the song came out and one of them was by Dean Martin and it was renamed 'Volare'. The rest is history. There is YouTube footage of Modugno singing this at the 1958 Eurovision Contest.

This years eurovision might still be on Peacock in the USA

That video was a good introduction to Eurovision, but I noticed they kind of exaggerated the "not wanting to win" aspect of it all. Eurovision has had a bit of a glow-up since COVID, Måneskin became a massive success story out of it and basically everyone who participates takes it seriously. Some countries have left because they don't respect the LGBTQ+advocacy (Hungary, Turkey), others cannot participate anymore cause it's too expensive (Bulgaria, Romania for example). This was my first time visiting your channel, would love to see some more Eurovision-reactions! 😊
@Nilaues
If you need one song to sum up all the craziness that is Eurovision, I'd go for Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (it's the song with the tin foil looking outfits). It's from 2007, and they came in second (!). The song is pretty much a chaotic mess, but I feel that it sums up the madness and chaotic energy of Eurovision quite well :)
@magnoliads2547
I love Eurovision ever since I was a kid and that is a looong time ago! For YEARS now we watch ESC with our best friends ... even the kids (up to the age of 16 - now they are 17 and 18 and don't care so much anymore) ... we have Popcorn and drinks and what ever, everyone writes down theire favorite song, the top 5 countries... it is really fun!!! 😂
@melody_in_time
American Idol, Britain's Got Talent etc are SINGING contests. Eurovision is a SONG contest. Most Americans don't realise there is a difference before being introduced
