Norway did a great job with this interval act :))

I nearly started crying watching this again. Definetly teared up. This interval act alone symbolically puts Eurovision as an entity into a whole. Favourite interval act ever to be honest. I remember seeing it watching the 2010 contest, it brought such an amazing vibe/energy, I danced around along as well until I was breathless and it was just magical and every time it brings be back. I'll never forget this haha. I'm pretty sure this was what made me fall in love with Eurovision.

It might seem strange, but that flashmob makes me cry every time I watch it, because it is so important to remember that we are all the same, no matter what country we are from. They did such a great job of showing that we are all united.

This is one of the best interval shows ever in Eurovision, major props to Norway for making that.

This is the best interval act in history. This shows how Eurovision unites all the people around the world. Amazingly stunning! Please react to the interval act of Loreen in 2013

The blonde woman in the middle is Princess Mette Marit of Norway and her children. This whole thing makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

And north sea is an ocean located between UK, Scandinavia, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and France.

This is Eurovision. Unity, joy, dance and music. What a golden moment!

Gosh, this brings back memories! As to the how: the Norwegian producers got the idea, then contacted the artistes and asked for a song with a certain speed/beat. Then they got dance choreographers to choreograph a dance suitable for a flash mob but that people could dance in their living rooms, then they uploaded videos months before onto KZfaq. And it went viral among dance schools ans ESC fans. I remember practicing it with my 6 and 4 year olds.

I was there in the arena in 2010 and it was so amazinggggg

Every single time I watch this I have goosebumps and someone is cutting onions. Every. Single. Time! How they did it logistically: They studied the dance pre show with the audience and of course there were "professional" dancers in the arena. Most of the footage from all over Europe was pre-recorded.

best act ever, that's what Eurovision is about, bringing Europe together

Amazing I remember this 7.20 is the norwegian royal family princess Mette-Marit and her kids

The people you didn't know there in the middle were the crown princess and her children;)

This year was one of the best ever, no interval act has ever been better than this

If Norway is hosting again in the future I hope we can do something similar like this and showcase the whole of Europe and not just ourself. This brings back childhood memories truly a special moment when the spirit of Eurovision is showcased like this❤

Omg i screamed!!! FINALLY this was what I was waiting for, by far the best interval act ever!! Goosebumps so many years later!!

the beauty of this was that it was all done live at the same time, which was quite an undertaking. All the cities were live as we saw them and all the family/group home views were as they came, not prerecorded. A couple of notes, The Ukraine "home" scene was Verka Serduchka & her Mother. The other note, HRH person is the crown princess and her children (remember, Norway is a monarchy of sorts.). That guy in the North Sea is just some tongue & cheek fun.

This contest was hosted in Oslo, Norway in Telenor Arena (if you remember Rybak winning in 2009). The song is "Glow" by the hip-hop duo Madcon (who are also Norwegian). At 7:18 are members of the Royal family.

I just realized 2010 was 8 years ago...what?

I was in the audience that night, and we ALL learned that dance before the show started, EPIC.

It was incredible.. I just feel like so many people from so many different countries united into one global community by the magic of eurovision :) So much love from Ukraine!)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am so happy that finally you got to see the - imo - most beautiful and uniting moment in Eurovision history ❤️ Europe dancing together, this was when I fell in love with it! Most times the host country just puts last years winner or another artist on the stage to fill time during the voting process (and they deserve it, don't get me wrong), but Norway planned this huge project, contacted all the other broadcasters in advance, shot all the material and even managed to include that live shot from Hamburg where the crowd was watching together right in that moment. I also like the living room shots, cause they reflect the typical tradition of watching together with your family and/or friends. The song was played a lot all over Europe the following summer and always gave me goosebumps because of this memory! This was a masterpiece by the Norwegian broadcaster and something that hasn't been done before or afterwards again!

W O W! Have actually never seen this before! The singers are Norwegian MadCom.and it is from the ESC final in 2010, Norway won in 2009 with Fairytale. The song is build on MadCon's own Glow and it is a co-op with a duo called Element. They made the biggest Flashmob in the world that year. GOOD ONE! Proud to be Norwegian

The best esc ever.

This is one of the reasons, why we here in Europe ♥ our Eurovision

Still the best. Thank you Norway

2010! The first Eurovision I ever watched. Everything about this makes me feel so nostalgic. I loved that year!

It's so refreshing to watch a channel that's so free of negativity, congratulations to you Jake that after all this time, every post has been so positive and embracing - you're quite unique in this crazy internet world. Eurovision was meant to link and unite people, and you are doing that in the best possible way. Thank you

Before I even watch the video, YES. So happy you saw this. Not necessarily for the reaction, I just wanted you to see what Eurovision is capable of and what it should be about.

I knew your reaction to this would come sooner or later ;-) An amazing flashmob. Most of the footage was shot before the show, but still the Norwegians did a grat job putting it all together during a live show. :-D

2010 didn't have that many good songs in my opinion - the only songs i still listen to are the german and swedish song.. But when that's being said i wanna say that 2010 was a really special year for several reasons - After Russia's propaganda show in 2009 where they blew it completely out of proportions, it was SOO refreshing to see how the Norwegian broadcaster showed they could still make a great contest with a simple show and stagedesign - In stead of showcasing themselves as a "great nation" they focused more on what eurovision is about, bringing all these people and nations together, which laid the foundation for the development of the contest in the following years - and then Germany ended up winning with such a simple song, which no one thought possible, and it was the final prove that Western Europe has just as much a chance to win after many years with eastern dominance :)

Best ESC EVER!!!

favorite interval show ever

one of the best moment i've never see in eurovision !!!

Thanks Jake for reacting to this video. I think it is one of the most amazing moments of the history of Eurovision Song Contest. Cheers... !!!

Close to cry remembering this over here.. You should react also to the interval act of SF2 2014 "Eurovision Dance". Not a flashmob but it's so emotional too. Just fans dancing, having fun and rocking the stage, first class material! One of my favourites intervals of all time, like this one /watch?v=d4Pim6d6R9Q

love it. The crown princess of norway show up, and it do say norway, and you go "Dont know them" xD

ESC was in Norway. Those people you didn't know who they were was part of the royal family, Norway :-)

It’s great to see this again, very clever interval act

I knew It! I knew you were gonna love It!

hahahaha Jake: " I don't know that".. that was Mette Marit she's from the royal family :P

The best 😍 The north SEA is outside of Norway.

Oh I miss such moments at modern ESC, it has been already 8 years... Btw, answering to your logistical doubts: well, all the European broadcasters communicate and that is why we have the ESC at the first place, so obviously it was not so easy to organize something like that, but it showed once more that when people put their effort, everything is possible.

This is SO COOL!

North Sea is the sea between Norway, the UK, Denmark, Germany, etc.

That was definitely not the usual Eurovision happening 😂. Entertaining definitely though! You should react to Lako Je Sve from this same year. It’s a huge crime that it didn’t qualify in my opinion

Nice! Was hoping you'd do this one, I remember the goosebumps when this happened... And allow me to suggest *Christine Guldbrandsen - Alvedansen* from 2006 for your viewing pleasure

The guys singing is a duo from Norway called Madcon. You have probably heard their great hit "beggin"

We should do another one after the Corona Pandemie to show that we are all united around the world and still connected. As a sign for piece 💯

I miss those times where corona didn‘t exist😂

You should also watch Emmelie de Forest - Rainmaker - Live at the Grand Final of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. SUCH AN AMAZING AUDIENCE!

Please react to the interval act of 1986 as well! That is in Bergen, Norway. Nice video, Jake!

This song made history in germany :) i realy miss the times when my mom turned the music on when we drove home in the car :) good old memories :....) i would like to move 11 years back

Jake , it was held in Oslo, Norway as Aleksander Rybak won the year before

This is my 2nd favourite interval act. My favourite is Emmelie De Forest performing Rainmaker in 2014, it has that same feel of people being brought together trough music. That one would also make a great reaction.

Jake really sounds like a valley girl when he goes "Where's the North seeeeea???"

Please react to the winner of Eurovision 1965 (France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son, Luxemburk).

I didn't really like the interval act, until they started showing the whole of Europe dancing alone, that was so cool

From 7.17 it is the crown princess of Norway with her 2 children.

Hi Jake. You have to watch the opening from 2011. Stefan Raab sings Lenas winning Song Satellite.

In 2010 Europe was united. Now it has been torn apart by EU, politicans, covid regulations and war. This reminds me of the good times with right of free movement, right of assembly and free speech.

North sea is a part from germany.😊greetings from germany

Everytime I watch the that video I cry and I don't know why

Omg you are so beautiful! 😍❤

You should definitely check out Georgia 2007, it was very much an underrated masterpiece that really shows off Georgian culture - arguably the best song Georgia ever sent to the Contest!

They are in Oslo,Norway

Could you please react to Poland's "Sama" from 1995? I feel like this entry was one of the greatest robberies of the whole Eurovision

Spain 2014 plssssssaas. I love your reactions

Carnt believe the EBU blocked your reaction to love love peace peace. I really wanna see it. Any chance of them letting your have it back up? I'm guessing you might have a Simalir issue with this video. Do you get to know why they take it down? Loving your work jake your amazing and I love watching you and see you share stories and your views with Eurovision fans all over Ps I must have missed 2010 because I don't remember this. I love the meaning behind it though Europe together, it's such a shame we seem to have gone in the other reaction in the UK x

This was in norway🇧🇻❤️🇧🇻

The essens of Eurovision

madcon are def one of the best norwegian artists/groups

Plz react to F.Y.R. Macedonia 2012 :)

I love this! Haven't seen it before.. Can you please react to The Netherlands 2009 or 2010? I loved your reaction to Netherlands 1975 hahaha! 2010 is sung in Dutch, translation of the title is I'm in love (ik ben verliefd). Really hope you will react to one of these. Thanks for the great videos

And Italy was out of this world again

React to Greta Salóme - Hear Them Calling please!!!🙏

It may seems like most of it was a live broadcast and a flash mob broadcasted to the world live. Here is a behind the scenes video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLJ6jch_nJjQmH0.html

Музыка всего мира

React to Željko Joksimović ( Eurovision Serbia 2004 and 2012) He's king of Eurovision🙊💃😍

At a time flashmob was already a 2 year old trend, but this one crowned them all. As to the logitiscs part, they announced that there will be a 'flashmob during the final concert in Oslo and everyone can apply in XYZ website' durin national finals. Dance routine was uploaded to KZfaq (yes, KZfaq already existed 8 years ago!) , videos are still upp - just type in Your search box 'eurovision flashmob dance routine' P.S. the song is by band Madcon - 'Glow'. They were quite big at the day, just after their mega single 'Beggin'

Please react to Eurovision 2009 UK: Jade Ewan - It's My Time , thanks Jake :)

Can you react to bulgaria 2007 please? :)

Please react to Loreen- My Heart is Refusing me ( Melodi Grand Prix 2013 performance - Norwegian preselection )

You should react to love love peace peace by the swedish hosts

Jessica Mauboy performed at the semi final 2 of 2014 as a symbolic act (nobody even knew they were gonna participate the next year). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrujfcxp07HXmmQ.html It was pretty good. And the moment when they "literally" drop Australia on the UK was SAAAVAGE HAHAHAAHA. It's not just a song, it had an act before (tho it was sung too).

germany 2009 please :)

Please react to Macedonia 2012

Please react to Eurovision 2013 Austria (she didn't qualify)

Speaking of 2010. That is the only year ever that Sweden did not go to the final. You should react to that entry. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7ZhociCsLSRYZ8.html

Oslo Norway

Could you react to Israel 2010 - Milim - pls.

I still think “Love Love Peace Peace”, “That’s Eurovision”, and Stefan Raab covering “Satellite” were better. Btw that’s the Crown Princess of Norway and 2 of her 3 kids.
