I think that many non-Europeans cannot really appreciate Eurovision because they are too addicted to what is given by the mass media. It's not American Idol, thankfully. These aren't just English songs, thankfully. They are not famous singers but that does not mean that they are not good. The songs often, even if modern, contain in the text and musically what is tradition of their country. It is not flattening towards the American model but honoring one's roots. however the Maneskin have been successful thanks to Eurovision, I also mention Abba and Celin Dion. It goes beyond competition, it is a way of making your country known and getting to know others. I am Italian, I get along a little with English, but I prefer when the singers express themselves in their mother tongue, this year in addition to the piece of Ukraine I liked the Portuguese, the French and the Dutch one, I enjoyed it the Moldovan one. I was sorry that Italy's performance was not up to par, because instead in Sanremo Blanco and Mahmood had been great. I recommend everyone to look for our Sanremo festival, which inspired Eurovision.
Finland was actually the winner in 2006, when Lithuania sang that "We Are the Winners of Eurovision". It was our first (and so far only) win. We were singing this all the time after that, so much fun. 😅🎉😅
FloRida and Katrina (Katrina and the Waves) participated in Eurovision. They are Americans with Katrina and the Waves winning the 1997 contest. Technically some American artists can be invited to rep a country for Eurovision but no to USA actually joining the contest. Malik Harris who represented Germany this year is half American.
Krystian Ochman is also half American, Justin Timberlake did an interval act in 2016 and Madonna did an intervalact in 2019(interval acts are acts when the songs have all been shown and the televote is busy)
@@flopjul3022 Madonna's performance was so bad... she couldn't sing at all. All the songs before her were sung better. Good thing Madonna didn't have to get points.
Portuguese here 🇵🇹 Most non-europeans think eurovision as some weird ass song tv contest. It's very political and an awesome show with amazing memes (as you saw in this video 🤣) Australia participates cuz eurovision is one of most watched shows there (and they always need more audience and funds) Fun fact: Canada confirmed it's going to participate in 2023
No, Canda is not competing in 2023. Canada is getting THEIR OWN Eurovision-style contest in 2023 like the US did this year, but they are NOT competing in the main competition. Literally one fake news site reported the information about the Canada comp incorrectly and now people are just spreading it without fact checking. You'd think the fact the EBU literally never said that would be the tip off it was wrong.
Australia is also a associate member of the EBU(European Broadcasting Union) basically if you are part of that and have a big audience you can participate(Israel joined because it has a lot of herritage in Europe since it was for a long time occupied by the French and then the British)
The fun thing about trolls entries is that they can either almost win or come dead last, they are either serious entries with a joking flair, or just a country that really doesn’t want to win and sends straight up trash. Though the one thing they have in common is that they make Eurovision a fun thing to watch. Some examples of succeeding/failing troll songs : The song Dancing Lasha Tumbai by Verka Serduschka (the example of tactics) and also the Russian grandmas both came second place. On the other hand there are troll songs like I don’t feel hate by Jendrik (Germany 2021) or Eat your veggies by I can’t remember the name (Latvia 2022) which either were pretty much last in the final (since Germany auto qualifies) or don’t qualify at all
I think only Americans wants to see the trolls. Real eurofans want to see performers that take the contest seriously. The most expected things are amazing performances, lyrics-wise songs, great voices, some cultural elements and native languages (since lots of countries prefer sing in English)
You should react to songs as well!! There are many great songs... You can start checking them out by firstly watching "Eurovision 1956-2022 all winners"
Greenland is not a country, it belongs to Denmark Countries like Australia, Morocco or Israel compete (or competed, Morocco only once in 1980) in Eurovision because they belong to EBU, there is no rule that country must be from Europe, there is a rule that country must belong to EBU (or at least be in range of broadcast for EBU) Australia was the weirdest one, but Eurovision was popular in Australia since the 80's, so in 2015 they asked them if they want to compete once, but they made it so good that EBU decided they can stay and compete every year Oh, and one more thing - the troll era (2000's and early 2010's) is long gone, now there are 75% songs every year that are great performances, 1 or 2 trolls and the rest are mediocre pop songs I recommend to listen to all songs od 2021 or 2022, you won't be disappointed
Verka Serduchka, the drag queen covered in metal and mirrors ranked 2nd in Eurovision 2007 where she represented Ukraine and toured the world with her single Dancing Lasha Tumbai. She also starred as a cameo in the movie Spy with Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Jason Statham. She's one of the campest and most beloved contestants of Eurovision. I advise you to watch both the Peace Peace Love Love self-parody song of Eurovision by Eurovision (2015 edition if I recall correctly) and this year's (2023) edition.
Non-europeans cannot understand pur tastes and choices. You should reacta to a real competition following it full to maybe somewhat start to understand it. There is the storical and political side to it too, non europeans have difficulties with that too.
Amigo I gotta say, Eurovision is the best. There's so much being said in those performances and the continent is one - at least for one hell of a night where everyone is welcome regardless preferred pronouns. A night of unity :) Greetings from Finland a todos!
Tbh the Romanian entries range from bizarrely interesting to the crazy good Dark Horse/underdog that never wins. Cuz politics and less friends to vote for us. We rarely have duds. Same thing with Moldova. Underrated hits.
Greenland is not an independant country, its still a Danish territory. Kinda hard to compete in an international competition when you are not in fact a nation. This video is honestly pretty out of date in terms of representing the modern competition. He's describing it how it used to be in the 2000s-early 2010s, which is when it was at its absolute worst in terms of quality. Countries take it a lot more seriousy now, and troll acts are no where near as common as they used to be (they have to genuinely be funny or bops in order to even make the final, like Norways entry this year).
Hell no to the US competing they just don't get it and half of the commentators that make me want to throw things at them have been Americans including the wanker who said that there were twenty 'infinitely better' songs than one of my favourite winners the year it competed. They wouldn't take losing to fun entries or experimental arty ones or just ones that aren't like the stuff they heard in the charts as kids well.
Just for fun, here are some Romanian Eurovision gems you should check out: - Zaleilah - Yodel It - Its my life - Tornero - Miracle - De la Capăt - Let me try - On a sunday - Goodbye - Dracula my love (sadly disqualified)
To get an idea what Eurovision is you could just watch Kaarja Cha Cha Cha. That's something you didn't know exist but once exposed you could not live without it. Or maybe you'll just hate it.
Just got this video recommend I know i'm late XD to be honest i don't think you really understand it. As a person who lives in Europe and knows Eurovision is mostly like a small (let's call it) a festival/party you enjoy with family or friends. The non-European countries that are competing like Israel and such, are countries connected/associated by some kind of trade laws, other laws, ... . We let Australia enter because it is really popular over there and they loved it, we love them back equally. What people forget is that Greenland is not Europe, Iceland is. Let's be clear not all songs are weird or trash, there are pretty good songs that aren't shown and yes we still have the troll countries but they lessened over the years. The world would never have known ABBA, Johnny Logan, Celine Dion, Duncan Laurence, Maneskin, Sunstroke project (ft. Olia Tira), Sam ryder, jesse matador, Lena,.... without the ESC. But of course we like a bit of trolling, it's what makes ESC fun. No we don't want America to compete, they would make a mess of it. And most artists are unknown before competing, known artists competing normally get really bad points though. (except for Johnny Logan who won ESC three times) What people forget is beside that it's like a huge party, song lyrics do matter (because that was what ESC stand for the winnings go to the songwriter not the performer unless you are the writer of your own song), performance does matter too. It doesn't have to be catchy to win. It used be that countries had to sing in their own languages, but that rule has been scrapped, you can sing in whatever languages you want. Mostly choose english or french because that are the languages most people in Europe understand, but there are still performances in own language. I hated it when Lithuania came with that song, that was too mucH.
@@elchopo99 Ah, now I remember. I did recommend those to a Slovene bro named Ancient Freak. He already saw them so I had an accidental Deja Vu moment here..
Como en todo, Estados Unidos arruinaría la competición. Como esté americano, que literalmente se ha cagado en la competición, porque al fin y al cabo, pueden haber actuaciones trolls, pero siempre ha ganado calidad, hasta el punto de dar visibilidad a estrellas como Celine Dion que ganó en 1988 y ABBA, que ganó en 1974, cuando nadie les conocía. Eurovision es mas que las actuaciones que SOLO ha puesto este tipo, todos los años, casi todos los países mandan canciones en su propio idioma, y con su propia identidad o etnia, en definitiva, es una competición hecha y fundada para UNIR, no para crear confrontación que es básicamente lo que quiere hacer casi siempre los Estados Unidos.
Escogiste un muy mal ejemplo para saber qué es Eurovisión, si es verdad que existen ocasiones en las que los países no se toman un muy en serio el festival, pero este vídeo trata de recopilar todas las "jokes entries" cuando existen realmente muy buenas canciones a través de todos los años, me gustaría que si existe una próximas vez, lo vieras desde otra perspectiva, donde si se ejemplifiquen otro tipo de canciones y no solo las de broma.
non-europeans always make the same two mistakes when talking about eurovision: 1) it's not a singing competition, it's an original song competition. 2) you're taking it wayyyyy to seriously (or you're taking yourselves too seriously - idk) & look at it through the very American competitive perspective that us Europeans like to roll our eyes about all day long. Eurovision is crazy, campy and a big party - one night where we all just enjoy the show & forget about the rest. It's supposed to be fun and most non-Europeans are wayyyy to eager about the competition part. Relax.

Las propuestas artísticas que participan son más variadas y tienen más calidad que toda esa bazofia que mostraron. Los resultados hay que relativizarlos y contextualizarlos con su época y con la competencia del momento. Hay un sector de la población que tiene muchos prejuicios hacia el evento, sobre todo si los resultados no acompañan, pero afortunadamente Eurovisión goza de una salud envidiable, por algo lleva más de 60 años triunfando y siendo el programa de tv, no deportivo, más visto en el mundo, superando incluso en audiencias a la Superbowl.
Similar por la competencia musical entre países, no por la calidad del evento ni la trascendencia. Eurovisión está a años luz afortunadamente en todos los aspectos (técnicos, musicales y televisivos) , por eso sigue triunfando después de 60 años. OTI, en cambio, desapareció.
Dancing Lasha Tumbai es una de las canciones mas icónicas de Eurovisión, es rara? si, pero ese es el punto, en Eurovisión, un festival que se celebra cada año, las canciones popi comunes quedan pegadas por lo mismo, son muy olvidables.
There is an American Song Contest this year, Won by a singer called AleXa representing Oklahoma (if i remember correctly...) and if america entered with that, i think europe will respect it and it will be fine, just don't send megastar for the contest and most likely will be fine
LOL I think the public vote would absolutely destroy America. Move over Germany/UK (yeah I know this year they did great but usually) there’s a new 0 points candidate
Also the grand finale for Eurovision is live right now... Hope Moldova wins... EDIT: Im ok with Ukraine winning though... Shouldve been higher than UK or Spain though... DOUBLE EDIT: WE GOT ROBBED... they withheld Romania's points from Moldova. Its a scandal...
That Geography Now video is pretty bad, based on (sometimes incorrect) hearsay, and focusing entirely on all the negatives. Yes, it's often cheesy, there are troll songs, and some of the voting is political (but rarely impacting the top 5). But it's also a really big event, with amazing staging, a very long history, top artists (like Abba or Celine Dion), that opened doors for the LGBTQ community. And while some genres were definitely more prominent, there has been an amazing variety of music over the years.
