When talking about the points system at the end you failed to mention one of the most important aspect of it. A country can't hand out votes to its own. Seems obvious to people who know the contest, not so for those who don't know anything about it.
If you make another video on Eurovision, you can add that the original contest was modelled on the "Festival di Sanremo", an Italian music contest which began in 1951 and continues to this day. Despite being one of the 14 founding participants of the Eurovision Song Contest, Italy withdrew from the ESC in 1997 (lack of interest was mentioned as the reason), and returned in 2011. Italy is now one of the five "untouchables", as one of the main contributors to the EBU.
2:45 "remember those guys? They did Dancing Queen" Not necesary this, ABBA was more known just for the iconic "Waterloo" ! (the winning song in UK 1974) Still today, in the week of Eurovisión 2021, news polls voted "Waterloo" the greatest song of all Eurovisión history, as in 2005
I see that you called it the Eurovision network. The European Broadcasting Union is an international Broadcasting Union which broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest. I am from Ireland and we have a great history in the Eurovision Song Contest. We won it 7 times and are first win was in 1970 with Dana with a cong called All Kinds of Everything. We won it again in 1980 and 1987 with Johnny Logan. The King of Eurovision. We were very good in the 90s won the Eurovision in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1996. Johnny Logan wrote two songs for Linda Martim. He wrote the first song called Terminal 3 which came 2 place in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest and the second he wrote was called Why Me? Which won the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest. In 1994 Eurovision Song Contest Ireland won it 6th Eurovision Song Contest with a Song called Rock N Roll Kids which was sung by Paul Harington and Charlie McGettigan. Charlie McGettigan is from Drumshambo, Co. Leitrim, Ireland where I am from. It was also the year when Riverdance became an International Dance. The last time we won the Eurovision song Contest was in 1996 with Eimear Quinn with a cong called The Voice.
It’s good to know a lot about the rules, numbers and dates. But as a European long time Eurovision fan I think the video is mission some very important parts: That Eurovision is first and foremost about bringing people from all the different countries and cultures together through music like one big family and have a party and all the traditions and initiatives that are made every time to make it a party that unites everybody
Actually the language rule changed the year before ABBA made their entrance into the contest. The rules were relaxed. But other than that it was spot on. Kuddos to the song entry that used an invented language doesn't matter after all.
That was a spectacularly bad oversight on my part. I typed in 'nocturne secret garden' in the search bar by accident and blanked from there. Thank you for correcting me.
That mindset really can change perceptions of the contest. I was thinking of making a video talking about 'Eurovision as a potluck', hoping it would garner more longtime fans.
Well, you forget one thing to mention. In the decade of 2010's the Eurovision song contest was zo popular that USA, China and Australia broadcasting the contest. For the last country Australia they are the first country that lies on the other side of the ocean to make their debut in Vienna, Austria 2015
6:57 I guess it's showing some notably schocking non-qualifiers, but except for Slovakia's Horehronie, I can't figure out what the others are, does someone know ?
@@vorakitlertackakorn2827 If RTL somehow found space in their Saturday Night primetime block for Eurovision, I would welcome them with open arms. They haven't been in the contest for as long as I've been alive. It would be so crazy to win this standoff.
Ironically the last two winners have been in native non English languages but I guess the musical styles (rock and rap) plus one of them getting a lot of sympathy for having their country invaded overcame the language barrier.
J Gall There isn't really an EBU flag out there. The EU flag is also used by the Council of Europe, which coincidentally consists of mostly EBU members.
For who did he made this video, for America. So Americans whach this so you guys know a little bit something other but yourself. Ok this sound rude but im just joking so don't come for my soul tnx.
"0 points is very rare with the new system"
Uk: hold my beer
That'll be in the second edition of the video. The UK with the black eye still applies.
Hehe....they have the same amount of points as my country, and we didn’t even compete ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"Zero points is rare with the new system"
UK 2021 would like a chat
Yes, please do. I'd love to write a song for them.
Norway won in 1995 with a song that consist of only 24 words and long violin solos. When Norway won again in 2009, nothing had changed
Norway really likes their violins, don't they?
Umm my country has only used vilonet like 2 timns
im in LOVEEVEVEVEVEVVE
And im proud of it
Lol
Zero points overall isn't likely to happen anymore. UK in 2021 - hold my 🍺
Hahaha I get the reference of the "three minutes" thing XD. Nice video btw your should make more of this style
It was either that or include that scene from Israel's 2015 song. "Okay. We gotta go. Three minutes. Bye-Bye."
I'm from. Tasmania and I love Eurovision...since Sandy Shore in 1960s.. it's a fun party

Sorry; I must have forgot when I made this list.
6:57 rip Iceland 2016 and Slovakia 2010 my 2 winners in 2010 and 2016 😭🇮🇸🇸🇰
Yea, all of the auditions in the pictures were underrated and the disqualifyimg was a crime fro all of them

Certainly in Europe, but not so much in America.
Explanatory video.Fact check: Sweden's ABBA won with 'Waterloo' not 'Dancing Queen'
I didn't say they won with "Dancing Queen". I just said that's one of the songs they're recognized with these days.
+JERealize OK. Great video!
Loved this video! Loved the style of it! You should make more like it especially eurovision and I got the 3 minute ref very funny aha

But not Winning now a days?
They're not as good as before.

I thought I covered that first bit. I should have made it more clear.
Good old crazy Belgium - they came second with it too.
0:10 Same!
I love Eurovision too!
Can't find a video of 1995 winner? Search for it on YT? It's all there.
The videos I could find are all muted. I'd like to be proven wrong.
th-cam.com/video/6qqOI04uo_c/w-d-xo.html
Literally the first video searching for 'esc 1995 norway'
That was a spectacularly bad oversight on my part. I typed in 'nocturne secret garden' in the search bar by accident and blanked from there. Thank you for correcting me.
As of 2022, 3 of the last 5 winners were in languages other than english.
You forgot the most important part, and that is, that at the end of the day it's just one huge party.
That mindset really can change perceptions of the contest. I was thinking of making a video talking about 'Eurovision as a potluck', hoping it would garner more longtime fans.
Very very nice video !!

And it seems like a cousin in America is in the works
Thanks switzerland for making peace in europe😂

This was a great video! U have a new sub
This is pure art -i am laughing so much omg-
Well, there's 1974 when Portugal's entry was used to signal that a coup d'etat was beginning. ..
Reminds me of a Natalie Wood song: The circus is a wacky world, how I love it... Before she starts screaming and leaves the shithole
oh I get it now, thanks for the video!
8:00 United Kingdom (2019, 2021)
Good video, i like it :)
Nice video
Breaking news! Luxembourg will be back next year in ESC 2024.
They say that so many times. Or was that Liechtenstein?
Not Liechtenstein for sure, I mean the one that didn't participate for 30 years and was 5 times winner.

Eurovision has best songs
one nitpick, they are big five, not big four, you forgot Italy as the 5th country.
6:48 "...and if you're not the host nor a member of the Big Four (or Big Five when Italy plays)..."
6: 57
Nice
How old do you have to be to go to the Eurovision Song Contest as the audience
Europeans - Let's make it needlessly more complicated
Jemani blames On the techanical problems
Germany was not allowed in 1996- because Germany would be too powerful if the contest was held in Oslo
Why is the European Union flag being used to represent the European Broadcasting Union?
J Gall There isn't really an EBU flag out there. The EU flag is also used by the Council of Europe, which coincidentally consists of mostly EBU members.
2016 won without english too.
The 2016 song contained some English lyrics in its Eurovision performance... unless you're referring to its controversial pre-September rendition.
Luxembourg had seen everything. it was time for them to go
Make another video
2:17😂
Jacob Dean The song they performed were called 3 minutes to earth
Magnus Heide I know.........
7:58 😬
Im swedish :D
