The German track was my favourite even though it was last

@@Chris_Elliot84 Germany deserved better than they got for sure.

I didnt find Australia that good, feelt like a band that is trying to hard to be "hip with the kids" and the growling shouldmt have been in their song. I liked Germanys, but it should have been sung in german. Finland is my winner

@@lykke The line-up this year overall was very good and someone has to come last. And for hard rock/ metal acts it's super hard to score high at Eurovision, sadly. Heavy music fans voted mainly for Finland this year, I assume because already from February onwards there was this artificial battle in the odds between Sweden and Finland.

​@@Veri183 as a heavy music fan, i find Finland's entry as really, really shitty

or the melodifestivalen semi final performance, it was so much better!

@@sannaspjuth The Swedish semi final performance was the most mesmerising musical and visual performance I have ever seen, period.

He did once rection to lord of the lost and since he liked raining stars I've been wondering if Alex dived more into their discography and what he thinks about their music

Yes! I was about to comment about checking out Finlands entry for Cha Cha Cha. That would be a good reaction

That and Moldova as that is prime eurovision insanity.

@@OraloriaGames Moldova hits every year. Especially Żdob şi Żdub

I second

Its a wild one

definitely check Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha, that one deserved the win truly

The jury faked it ubd killed the democracy of the ESC

YESSSSSS I had to check his channel to see if he has watched it yet. I'd also give Germany and Croatia a watch too

Yes!! He needs to react to this one.

that is the case every year, but rememberr she has to climb into the "panini press" as some smartasses are calling it, and sing on her back, side, knees, while moving like a pilates class LOL

Top 5* Norways song was great too

@@p4nd4zur33 Yeah, and keeping in mind it was actually Top3 in televote definitely worth including

people thinking the contest was rigged bcs of Abba are just sore losers who can't handle the fact that their favourite lost so they are making up fake excuses. Abba isn't even performing next year, and it was clear from the moment Tattoo came out that it would win Eurovision

Although lotl is one of my favourite bands I have to say that I enjoyed Estonia the most. Norway was second

​@@ironguardian2632LOTL is one of my favourites. I was presented by their music by my music streaming.

If he'd like to see her perform well, he should watch any other than the final performance. It was the worst version of the song I've heard. The more quiet parts were just mumbling, and when she was going for the high powerful notes it was just pure yelling. The studio version is actually good, but she can't get anywhere near that live, and for some reason the final was her worst. Good for her the jury votes are based on the rehearsals on the Friday before the final and not the final performance...

He said other performances were geoblocked (or did I hear it wrong?) so he didn’t have much of a choice, I guess.

if you bother to watch or listen to him you would have known that he knows that and said this was the only video that wasn't geo-blocked for him.

💪🇸🇪

She is also the first female artist to win twice

She or the judges?

@@k.l.7788 and thank god for their excistens!

@@k.l.7788 she made it, with the help of judges AND the public. I'll help you remember, in case you forgot: Loreen received 243 points from the public, she was in the second place at televotes, not in last place, like y'all sore losers are acting. you should stop being bitter

what do you want to say she won because of jury votes? She beat Kaarija with higher margin in jury votes than he did with public votes. Statistically Loreen is way better ranking for the win

ummm.. nope, not everyone LOVES that guy. I thought he was awful. He did pretty much no singing and when he did, the singing was really weak. But the fact that Iceland didn't make it to the final is a crime.

​@@nataliakom8310but its NOT about the singing skills, its about The whole Song, appearance, style, feeling. Swedens loreen was cookie Cutter Eurovision from The year 1994 and shouldve not Been The Winner. Spectator votes should weigh More than "professional judges" who prefer neighboring countries really than The actual performers..

@@pukelius4128 Yes, it's about the whole thing and I hated it. The only thing that I found funny was the fake smiles the dancers had. The song was awful for me, the singing was really bad. I simply did not find this performance to be good and deserving of the first place, with so many great songs and performances from other countries. I personally like Loreen's song but I am someone who likes a good emotional song and great vocals. Also, there are some countries who give 12 points to their neighbours but I find it doesn't happen as often anymore. My country (Poland) gave 12 points to Israel and we couldn't be more far apart :D

Glad she won, she deserved to win the most. Chachacha was such a bad song

Billie Eilish with a dick failed

That song and performance was a mess 🫠

@@johanlaferte85 The song is a bit boring, but I did like the dark sci-fi performance.

Yesss i loved Serbia. It was my number 1 or 2, depending on my mood. Käärijä obviously being right up there with Serbia.

I find Serbia sneaking into my top 5... :)

many swedish rock/metal bands have attempted winning melodifestivalen to get to represent sweden at eurovision but none has succeeded, this year we had smash into pieces getting 3rd place at the melodifestivalen finals with their song six feet under. before smash into pieces, some of the other rock/metal bands that have attempted it at melodifestivalen are mustasch, lillasyster, the poodles and dead by april

Celine Dion also won Eurovision and ended up being having global success

Cha cha cha is the most stupid and worst song.Its a shame to like and vote a Song like this!Loreen is the Best!

there aren’t that many pop songs…

Well they were born in Sweden and Canada. So never Moroccan by nationality.

@@joebloggs396 sorry, but they still have Moroccan roots. I’m also Moroccan, but I was born in Italy. I still count myself as one

@@sanaa107 That's how you look at it, but do you know how Moroccan they feel?

@@joebloggs396 well, Zarra said it in an interview. Also the middle finger that she did it’s the typical North African thing. Loreen has amazigh tattoos on her body. It’s just it what it is. You can’t deny your roots. Just don’t be dense

@@sanaa107 dont listen to that, Loreen actually Said this staging was to honour her Moroccan heritage! She talks about it all the time, so be proud as she is of your country ❤😊

Feel so bad for Germany, they did not deserve the last place at all. I don't get it, like sure last year they deserved the bottom place but this year they are definitely a top 10 for sure so I'm very disappointed in both the jury and in the public for not giving Germany more love.

@Älvdansen I proudly voted for Germany, and how our song "I wrote a song" got more votes I'll never know, Blood and Glitter was one of the best songs of the night

@@alvdansen7172For me UK, Israel and Poland had the weakest and more boring songs. Even though I'm not a big fan of blood and glitter (loving lotl tho) I agree that they didn't deserve last place

Käärijä also dodged a cable in the nick of time in his final performance and just kept going like a pro 🙂. Almost got decapitated 😉😶🙈.

Thank you 💚

I agree

I could be wrong but I think this video is not blocked by the Eurovision official channel in the US, as the other entries are.

@@ronnopotter Oh, so there might be some geoblocking going on... then I get why they react to this one. Thanks for explaining it!

Sweden still was 2nd in the popular vote... it's not like the public did not like her so this outcome is not surprising

Millions and millions of people also voted for Loreen.. She was not that far behind Käärijä in the popular vote... And she won the jury.. Something Käärijä didn't.. So hence he got less points.. (Points are needed to win.. Not votes.. This is not an election...)

A Finnish Hockey song omg..

@@swedishmetalbear Not far behind??!!! Are you delusional? There was a huge gap because Finland was the landslide winner. Loreen got even less 10 points than Käärijä. CCC got 376 points if I remember correctly and Tattoo somewhere around 220-240. One of the worst public vote scores for a winner ever. Why not admit the facts and try to turn them around?

@@Mari-ok6xg You're conviently forgetting about the jury vote.. Which Loreen won by a landslide.. To win Eurovision Marinainen. You have to win BOTH Jury AND Televotes. Enough whining like little babies now. It is getting OLD.

Not the real winner , but the winner of publicvotes, 4rd in the Juryvotes. Loreen was second in the publicvotes and was 1 in the juryvotes so she won fair cause she had the highest total score 😊

Jury votes count as 50% so Finland is not "the real winner". Get over it.

@@Dds123-l3z Which was very shady. There was no justification for her to get double amount of points compared to many incredible performances (like Spain, Israel, Estonia, Italy...). A just winner for jury votes (as they are scoring now), but not with anywhere near that high a margin. And there are loads of disgusting comments from jury members publicly available about Käärijä which obviously show he was not scored professionally but by prejudice from jury members who have no appreciation for different genre music and performances.

It would've been great if they just kept it a folk song, but the bad techno beats ruined it for me.

And the highest was wartime for Ukraine. An amazing song, but the points are not combarable as is to other years.

'unfortunately' gal she came SECOND in public voting and won the jury vote

@@charliedixon6936 no need for hostility haha all love here for the performers 😂 she had a great song and performance, but his was more popular with the public so I meant unfortunately it doesn't represent what the majority of watchers liked the most. Which is true...

@@abigreaves1751 Totally agree! Glad there are smart people here.

honestly, UK should have won it last year.

yeah but she still second in televote so if Finland was nr1 she was still up there as a favorite and no not only juries loves her

Not just due to the juries, the _combination_ of the viewers votes and the jury votes. You don't win with just the televotes, or just the jury votes, it's the combination that matters.

@@alvdansen7172 She was not the winner of the viewers/audience, she was their second place. She did not get a single 12 points from them, while she got an insane amount from the juries. They should not count for 50% of the votes. With that being said, my problem is not with Loreen at all, she did great and the song is good too. I just have a problem with the jury deciding a winner instead of the audience/viewers, it is their show.

@@Asa...S But the Jury is still the reason she won. They gave her so many 12 points that there was a 163 point drop to the second place. That is huge!

@@lykke Thats' what I said second place with the public! Reason why she did not get a 12 with the public is probably due to the fact that her public show performance was not as good as her earlier performances. Why she did so well with the jury is because that was probably her best performance she done, I have heard that the jury performance went really well. It's not the exact same performance that is being juged here with the jury as with the public. I also think that people made sure to not vote for Loreen, not because they didn't like her or did not have her as their favorite but because people were not sure I they wanted her to win twice. I saw that Finland gave a 0 vote for Loreen but that was obviously for tactical reasons. They wanted Käärijä to win and I understand that but I believe that even those who loved Loreens song did not vote for Loreen in order to help Käärijä winning. I also think that the smear campainge might have had something to do with the lower public points for Loreen. Loreen also have more public support outside the ESC world and Tattoo is currently the most streamed song of this year form ESC, yes even the more popular than Finland, not to mention she s charting in multible countries and is being #1 at the moment in many countries. That says alot, Tattoo even with the petty ESC-fans are still loved and appriciated in the world. People just want someone else but Sweden to win and yes it's pop from Sweden once again but that does not mean Loreens performance and song don't deserve it's win. Käärijä would have deserved to win too and nothing can take away the love that you and other fans are feeling towards him.
