I was 14 years old when I watched this on TV and I LOVED everything about it! Her hair, her outfit, her makeup! To this day (23 years later) I have never forgotten this performance and I still love the whole look! :D
She was 16 performing in front of such a big audience for the first time and representing a whole country. Of course she was nervous. If I were her, I would pass out 😆
I love the overflowing 1998-2001 vibes in this video. Everything, from the song with the dramatic chorus, to the style of singing, to the outfit, to the dancing, it's all so late 90s and early 2000s.
I love how 90's this looks: Showing the bellybutton, the way the two fit background dancers dance. The white line down the sides of their pants. The sound. Everything. I don't know if I'm biased because I was a kid back then, but those times seemed much simpler and free-spirited. Now it seems like you can't do anything right anymore.
The bellty button trend went on far into 2000's: britney, aguilera, shakira, j lo, spice girls all sported bare stomachs for a few more years. I would not say the bare belly button was a 90's trend.
If this is the best one I dont want to hear the others. Unbelievable this disgrace of song got the second position. it is boring, and the singer constantly out of tune. If you can't sing properly, I wonder how you get to go to Eurovision.
Im Danish, Denmark won that year. I remember rooting for Russia becouse every time they Got 12 points she would jump from excitement. Her top nearly fell off.. Ahh, those Were the days..
I remember that as well! Watching this as a 14 year old boy made an... impression, to say the least. I remember being gutted that your Danish lads won, but in hindsight they probably deserved it, haha
It mind sounds dated now but back in 2000 this actually sounded the most modern out of all 24 songs competed that year, even the winning song that year sounds like it was from the 80s even though it's a good song.
Am I the only one who is watching 2:12 in repeat cause the synchronised move is AMAZING?? It was like.. together without missing a second!!! I love it!!!
I remember being at Samarkand railway station in 2000 and a girl started singing this song. Maybe she thought I was a foreigner and wanted to show that she could some English or maybe she was ethnic Russian and proud of Russia getting so far at the Eurovision Song Contest. If I had known about the contest and the winning song, I could have sung my country's winning contribution afterwards.
Hard to take people like you serious, who deny mass killings and claim Kosovo is Serbian when the whole World know it’s not 😂😂 And yes the winner was better than Russia
Give with women an oscar Performing on a stage at 16 with loads of people and getting top 3 is just great for her I would just die so much And the song is great
Jul Extinction, вот именно, что песни, а не голоса (не вокалистов). Помимо Алсу на этом конкурсе за полвека выступила хренова туча исполнителей, и что, все были супер вокалистами? Была куча фриков, у которых даже намёка на голос не было. Нет там чётких стандартов, каким должен быть голос. Алсу - не самый поганый вариант среди всего многообразия выступивших там исполнителей. Справилась хорошо. Да, не идеально, могла бы и лучше. Но всё же хорошо, а если учесть её возраст на тот момент, так вообще отлично.
ну песню надо ещё как-нибудь спеть) не факт, что Вы или я спев ту же песню, что и Алсу, заняли бы 2ое место. У Датчан в 2000 была именно хорошая песня для концертного зала, у Алсу - для радио и телепоказа. У Латвии была модная тогда альтернатива.
@@Jalekrkmz Turkish are you!!! Just so you're clear, donkey, Russia is a multinational country. And all these ethnic groups have been with Russia for many centuries in which they have become Russified.
i'm just 15 years old then, after a tiring day (saturday), and when i started reading my lessons for school, suddenly i hear this song and dance to it. I knew it was called "Solo" , But I didn't know the singer. Alsou just rocks and her singing is better than the Danish and Latvian ones.
I haven't really listened to many Eurovison songs past this year, but maybe has this inspired other people? It just sounds so similar to other songs lol
Best song that year (not that it was hard). Can't believe Denmark won with their boring ass song. Same with Estonia the next year😂😂 what was going on through the voters minds those two years
That's how 16 years old girl from Russia got 2nd place. Now, I'm 16 ( nearly 17 ) years old boy understand that my is totally boring (ok, not so, but most of all).
I was 14 years old when I watched this on TV and I LOVED everything about it! Her hair, her outfit, her makeup! To this day (23 years later) I have never forgotten this performance and I still love the whole look! :D
Exactly! I was 15 and was singing this song at school haha, loved it to bits!
She was 16 performing in front of such a big audience for the first time and representing a whole country. Of course she was nervous. If I were her, I would pass out 😆
Wait no way she was 16?!? I would just die from stage frigth
Lame excuse.
@@lapsijahti whatever dude
she sang good I dont see she was nervous
She is the best.
🇹🇷 We Proud of you Pretty Tatar Girl
She has nothing to do with Turkey. She’s from Russia 🇷🇺
Omg shes only 16!
+Samo Lee so hot she is
No, she is 33. It's 17 years ago.
Ali Kazim von Simsalabim Jørgensen pretty sure Samo Lee meant that she was 17 when she sang that song in 2000.....
Emily Ridal yes
really?? she was 17 then??! she looks at least 25! wow, it's amazing ^^
I love this song as hell! xd
19 years later and I’m still listening💛
2020 ???

I just listened to it twice today.

I was one of those dancers. Cheers for that lol.
This is 2000.
@@zhannad750 this was 4 months after 90s ended, still 90s vibe

Me who is ex-yugo child :|
20 years on and I still believe this is one of the most under appreciated Eurovision songs in history! It's very J-Lo and still a very enjoyable song
Yes, I am too !
Still one of the best songs from Eurovision and we’re in 2023 now! 2000 was absolutely the best year in Eurovision.
👍👍
2000 was actually one of the worst years by all aspects, what was your criteria lmao
Ah yes, *the best* year.
@@aminadoce Of course, now it's much better, non binary, LGBTQ++ doing their business on stage, creepy rituals, men running around without underwear
i remember like all the songs were terrible but russia estonia denmark france and turkey
It was the most modern song on that contest!
The performance looks like a winner
Tatarian girl with two russian bodybuilders
Her singing may not have been very strong but it was a very strong song! I love the style! Sounds like 'Can't Fight the Moonlight'
23 Years Later! This song is still listening now 🧡
One of the best songs in that show. It could've been a worldwide hit
My winner 😍😘 Russia always send masterpieces 💖💕👑
Amande Thiarello thank you baby
If Britney sang this song this would be a worldwide hit.
Я изначально какое-то время так и думал, что это песня Бритни Спирс, пока не погуглил
But Britney can dance and has voice
@@um02409 that’s not even true
She would have ruined the song with her “baby-halfway breaking vocal”- sound.
Yeah but she sang it very flat...she is gorgeous girl,but her voice is notnig special...it was just a catchy pop song.
2:14 I don't know if that pun was intended but that was an amazing key transition.
I remember loving this song!!
She was only 16 years old as I know, but sung like a 25 yo pro :)
the melody is brilliant so catchy
This and Latvia's song really gives the 2000 vibe
Listening this in 2016 & still loving!
The best song in 2000 year Solo by Alsou ❤🔥💪👍
By far, the best song of 2000 for the Eurovision
+George Austin Tay one of the best ones ever
Lucas Kröber true, I even bought her CDs
Live performance was a bit shaky though.
You are everywhere. How long have you been watching eurovision?
Very good song indeed, but only second best in 2000 after Estonia
the best Russian entry in Eurovision. Better than even Dima Bilan's "Believe".
I love it both
If this is the best one I dont want to hear the others. Unbelievable this disgrace of song got the second position. it is boring, and the singer constantly out of tune. If you can't sing properly, I wonder how you get to go to Eurovision.
@@ferbilbao6075
For 2000 this was a smash hit.
@@alexstorm2749 That does not mean it is good. There are hundreds of smash hits in the history of pop that are pure shit.
LOL all Russian entries are better than that f****** Believe Song. In my opinion Vječnij stranjik sky above the rest from Russia.
Between 1:57 and 2:15 is just beautiful.
Can you believe you're actually watching a 16 years old girl?
No.she looked a lot older
Awesome! Good old days!
The best Russian eurovision entry ever!
13 years ago... still the real first winner of the 21st century
2000 is 20 century, not 21
Forever N.1 !

Im Danish, Denmark won that year. I remember rooting for Russia becouse every time they Got 12 points she would jump from excitement. Her top nearly fell off.. Ahh, those Were the days..

Dude, she was 16. It sounds creepy
@@Diana-whathappenedin97 she was 16 during this?
@@kraevorn7483 yes lol
This Song made Russia stay in Eurovision.
if it did not finish high Russia would not return again (I think)
They won 9 years later so I would say: Good call.
IceCranberry 8 years later* - Russia hosted ESC 9 years later, where Alsou was one of the hosts in the Grand Final.
после этого выступления Россия полюбила Евровидение
The best song from Eurovision for all time 🤍💙❤
This should have won. Fantastic song and sound for Eurovision.
услышал это и влюбился в евровидение)
I dont know how this WONDERFULL masterpiece wont won.....
bad live singing
Becouse Denmark had the win Factor
But Alsou was great to
Denmark really deserved the win, but this as 2nd was perfect!
The live version was inferior to its studio counterpart.
Okay, this sounds dated but that's what I love about it! It's so catchy!

20 years ago where does the time fly
Μου αρέσει αυτό το τραγούδι!!
Ήταν αρκετά καλύτερο απ'αυτό που κέρδισε.
This song is so much better than winner! We love you Alsou 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇺

Don't lie, fuuk turkish...
No
Don't Mix politics with Russia
This was a great Entry
Thank you Alsou 🇷🇺
Надо понимать, что в 2000м году практически не участвовали страны бывшего ссср на евро, и она умудрилась 2 место занять без соседских голосов
Да ладно соседние голоса не чего не решают. Если песня зашла то и будут голосовать.

The best one that year by far! Awesome song and really pretty girl 😍
My winner, much better than Denmark.

chętnie słucham twoi piosenki i sledze twoją twórczość , brawo
I think Russia should had won in 2000 instead 8 years later as this song was way better than Dima Bilan's winning song.
Оператора работа обалденная!!!!
It's not my favourite vocal performance, but Alsou's charisma is something else. Hard to believe she was 16.
I think ,,Can't fight the moonlight'' sounds simillary. Is just me?
Give with women an oscar
Performing on a stage at 16 with loads of people and getting top 3 is just great for her
I would just die so much
And the song is great
Real winner ❤
20 yrs later, still listening to this and liking it :DDD

Not exactly, but I wish it was the winner.
@@DentalFlan no
Err... Why it not win? It was better than that Danish man!
Eurovision song contest There were men who were brothers.I was listening their song...It's disgusting.
at least Olsen Brothers were in tune, unlike Alsou.
Dit was goed voor de tweede plaats maar niet voor te winnen
This screams year 2000, I mean the song and her shiny leather outfit a la Britney Spears, lol.

I haven't really listened to many Eurovison songs past this year, but maybe has this inspired other people? It just sounds so similar to other songs lol
The best Russia's entry in the history!
Last year the Eurovision was really good, there were at least 3 "winner-songs" (Russia, Danmark, Latvia)
Did Max Martin make this song
i think this is better than winner.
No bad live

Should have won
Those back up dancers are sooo flamboyant

Don't be silly. Your life doesn't get more worthy if you sing in a contest. You are an unique person and you have your own deserve
Alsou is girl from very rich family.
Intérprete con mucha personalidad.
They clearly looked at Sweden’s winning performance from 1991 and thought that, too, would bring them success.
They also appear to have taken a page from possibly Britney Spears' or Jennifer Lopez's book.
Was she chosen just based on her looks?
Sure, because she can't sing.
But she finished second ;)
Eurovision 2001 wasn't in Moscow???:((
Nope and good
