- Who had the biggest banger? Who danced like Jojo Siwa? How many terrible opinions does TheBalkanGuy have? Time to answer all of those questions.

Not gonna lie, I’m gutted how Doomsday Blue was completely overlooked in the musical categories.
RIGHT???? omg bambie's performance and the song overall is just so unique and the bridge/buildup is probably my favourite
You want incredible vocal control? Bambie Thug! Seriously, that witch had truly amazing vocal control. Plus, performing ballet, while still hitting notes properly. Vocal coaches have broken down how incredibly hard it was for Bambie to hold those positions and deliver those notes. Clearly, standing still and yelling is more impressive than doing a technically difficult dance move while singing. And where the hell was Isaak? Those vocals were incredible and carried the extremely weak song. Anyway, thanks for your comment Oscar, knowing ahead that Bambie will be completely overlooked means I don't have to continue watching this appallingly biased video (Balkan guy voting for a lot of Balkan songs, what a surprise). Thumbs down!
thats what ive been thinking this entire time too! best music video, best chorus, best bridge... clear winner of a lot of these in my eyes
Regarding dance, for me they were easily the best dancer, the body and voice control to hold attitude derrière while singing without the singing being affected at all. Also their feet were so nice, all the movements were sharp and precise. Their classical training really showed. Easily the best dancer.
Totally. I even unsubscribed esc Gabe, sorry.
Dude, Gabe looks SOOOOOOO _tired_ with Eurovision 2024...we all DONE with this year and it's drama!
We are not done yet. We really need to know what the EBU will say about it all.
I really liked this years eurovision
It’s not over yet! We still have that independent investigation into the EBU over how they handled Malmö 2024. Good job EBU 🤡
tbf, not even Dons thought he was qualifying. He was sitting there so dejected and then suddenly they call Latvia and he just couldn't believe it
Let me tell you a tale bout' life bout The Good, The Bad, and Then Ugly better hold on tight
best comment award goes to:
THE NETHERLANDS NOT NOMINATED FOR BEST MUSIC VIDEO??? Joost's story is SO well told in the music video, it contains so much meaning and references to his life and the song itself! I think it really should have won that category :)
I was surprised ireland and netherlands didnt even get nominated.. they were definetily 2 of the best
@@LCMPSLCMPSexactly my point! Completely the best two videos.
The onion… you can keep rewatching and see something new you hadn’t see before
Nerherlands had the BEST music video in esc history!!
Don’t you get it??? This was for the same reason as the falls accusations and wrong disqualification.
p.s. One of the best esc creators that really create incredible content are Overthinking Eurovision. They are incredible.
i never really was into eurovision until this year, worst year to get interested into it 💀
Same
I did better I got the bug because of the 21 final. Less stressful.
Me too and now i'm a full blown eurofan at the worst time
I got into it in 2021 and it's all been downhill since then.
On the flipside you have a lot of fun old finals to go through that I so wish I could've experienced for the first time again :)
Don't apologize Gabe! No Rules is amazing and deserves all the love it's gotten!
No Rules! will forever be one of my favourite Eurovision songs
The hate was so forced
YOOOO GABE, NOT A COLLAB WITH THIS LAME DUDE 😭
Hello there
I had to look at this comment three times lmfaooooo 😂
That's just rude and gratuitous.
@@aekelly Gworl... He's roasting himself 🤦
@@aekelly it's also auto-derision
I think this perfectly represents the difference in what northern/western Europe(Gabe) and southern/eastern Europe(Amer) pay attention to and vote for. Not always the case I know, but still
Yeah gabe saying best high note as portugal instead of it actual being a HIGH note like slovenia is his north/west bias showing
Norway being sidelined for best nordic breaks my heart ;___;
yeah, Norway was my #1 this year
Not even nominated by Gabe is a big big disappointment and an unsub.
I hope Norway sends some garbage next year, or even better, stays out.
Denmark has it much much worse 😂
Best Nordic imo goes to Estonia
If only Estonia was a nordic country 😅
I met the Balkan guy in Malmö, while he was rushing to the airport. So my enthousiastic greeting was met with a look of absolute terror, poor guy stammered an excuse and ran off 😂
Just my luck to finally meet one of the content creators I follow at the worst possible moment, but it makes for a great anecdote 😅
Oscar I remember this, and I felt really really bad about it! I'm so sorry and I hope we will have an opportunity to properly meet and talk at one of the following Eurovisions!!
And it really wasn't just an excuse, I barely made it to the airport in time actually and almost missed my flight😅 And I had my friend's stuff with me too which made it even more difficult.
You were already walking fast-paced when I saw you approach, so at no time I thought you were just making excuse; I meant excuse in the meaning of apology, not some made up story, sorry if that was unclear 🙂
I do remember thinking ‘wow that’s a lot of luggage’ though 😂
Love that BL video was directed by his fiancé. More Women directors is always great
Wait I didn’t know that that’s so cool
@@Bubbledazwood yea she directed all three of his videos (with probably not much budget) and all his promo pictures. Very talented
Her dad was also involved with the lyric video!
Love how you both had Finland as your top Nordic act! It was my absolute favourite this year! 😃
No need to be sorry for picking Finland mate. Song was great for its genre and staging was flawless
The dance break in Liar is Silias dancing style, they did the choreo so she would be as comfortable as possible on stage as a 17 year old.
Guys, did you forget about Belgium's vocals?
Girl get out
wake up, gabe posted‼️
Highly enjoyable video. I must say I don't agree with some of the winners, but overall my winners are not far off.
Since this Eurovision, I developed some sort of a weak spot for Jaklin of Ladaniva. She enchanted me with her smile, and her stunning beauty and vocals.
Maybe there will be a nominee for most beautul artist in the next video (?) and if so, she is by no doubt my winner this year.
It might be a category in the next one 👀
I feel so sorry for Italy they were my winner and I think she was overshadowed
Pausing mid-video to check comments for disgruntled Czechs correcting Gabe on the "eastern Europe" part lmao
They did say that they split the middle European countries into eastern and western tho. Unless Czechia is considered something else? I'm bad at geography 😂
Thank you for saying Sweden's dancing was lame! 😅 (oh, and naming the award after Jojo Seewa tickled me beyond words 😂). Loved some of Gabe's reactions to Balkin guy. 😂😅🤣
Awesome editing on this video. Great video quality on a collab video. Funny. Good job :)
Pls do the iceberg explanation video if there is an iceberg i love them and they are so entertaining
There is no iceberg this year, there is an ice Antarctica
@@svf99escfan Valid point 😭
I know bro ain’t talking about henri having bad vocals….
Exactly what I thought! Henri had really great vocals live. I was ready to fight if he specifically mentioned that.
Right? He's the first person I've ever heard say that.
zorra as the best chorus is an iconic choice 😍😍
Tuta gold by mahmood from Italy. My favourite song of the year. So sad that it didn’t win sanremo. I think it would have gotten top 5 in eurovision easy. I know that people will say "But it would have been his third time in eurovision" and i dont care, tuta gold is a BANGER!!
It’s been in my playlist ever since I first heard it, but I’m not sure Mahmood would have gone to Eurovision even if he had won San Remo, I think I read that he wasn’t really interested in going this year.
39:02 thank you his shoutout!!!!!!! I was hoping you would mention him.
My favorite music video was Estonia. Absolute kings
I said this in Gabes video about Melodi Grand Prix but I had forgotten about My AI until it was mentioned in this video whyyyy 😭😭😭
I'm so so sad for San Marino! I don't know if the singer was sick, tired or something else but that was heartbreaking
And Gabe also got all of his holes filled. A tremendous accomplishment!
I thought he looked more relaxed lol
I'll keep the positive vibes and simply acknowledge how "original" Balkan Guy's tastes are... Ohhh god !
😂😂😂
KARMAS A BI-
Excellent presentation Guys!!
Thank you!!
And Congrats to all positive vibes you shared!!
Where's part 2 - can't see anything on the Balkan Guy's channel?😕😕
Gabe , someday you will rise creating the most blessed ESC 🥺
For content creation, I think Overthinking It should've gotten at least a nomination.
Their videos are so interesting, funny and well made and high-quality, it was my favourite content this season!
Sorry Balkan Guy I don't like Austria.
You guys are amazing. Thank you! And the part about other content creators was beautiful! ❤️
From this video I start to think that TheBalkanGuy has a crush on Kaleen
Maybeeee 🙈
When is the 2nd half of this coming on balkan guy's channel?
Such a great video and so wholesome 😊
Props to you GABE!! Balkan Guy you ended up liking France!!! Please pass this on, I told him off on another channel. ☮❤
Congratulations to Jay for finding the perfect video to acknowledge The Balkan Guy’s award to best ESC content creator.
May I suggest an award for Best Staging. Obviously, Ireland would have taken it this year.
My nominations would basically always be Switzerland, Ireland, Ukraine and France 💀
Gabe is my spirit animal during the National final song award
I love this so much.
Gabe trying to make a serious award and The balkan guy just having fun and crashing the whole thing.
Also thanks balkan guy for having austria win multiple of your awards. We didnt have a lot of reason to celebrate during the contest itself...
no "kur?" in best national final song is the biggest robbery of the year
Even Finlands vocals were better than Austria lol
The live performance for San Marino stuffed up due to in ear issues, you can see her stuff up her lines cause of the in ear issues.
I was gutted San Marino performed so badly :(
amazing video as always gabe
Top 3 shockers of the event: Raiven being so tall LMAO 😂😂😂
Alesia and ESC Tom are my two favorites but Gabe, you're my favorite that I've started to follow this year. Rachel is great too. And of course ThatBalkanGuy with those arms 😂
Gabe I love you for mentioning Paskana, that was the only song that couldve challenged Nemo for my winner this year. Idc that my opinion is basic
Very good 👍😎🎶
The Balkan Guy has no taste Gabe you are 200 procent better
B&H 2025 love in rewind is such a bop
Collab we needed!! Do more videos together in the future
Best song: SPAIN
Best choreo: SPAIN
Most Iconic: SPAIN
Best performance: Ireland (didn’t see that coming did ya?!)
1/4 good answers at least 🤭
Justice for Sofia Coll!
Not Amer having THAT tattoo on his bicep omggg. Bro went digging deep. 💀💀💀
Ah yes more like theBulkingguy. The bulkiest eurovision fan I've ever seen also kind of hot 😉
Surely that is Mal from Festivali i Kenges!
And leave in competition 15 countries which always win
Can’t believe that La La Gunilla was not in your national final awards 😂
Oh my days, i was so close to thinking they are gonna call us Baltics part of the eastern Europe but they saved themselves by calling us Baltic 😂❤❤
Really! Cyprus bad? I thought it was great! 😮 So exciting!
pigeons are nice
Raiven wore heels next to you when I filmed your interview Amer she’s actually smaller than me I’m 177cm
Almost 100% with Gabe's votes. ❤🇦🇲❤🇦🇲
Caliente from Benidormfest was one of my hopefuls
Nemos rap reference?
oh no he's so hot
On a more serious note, I'm surprised you both didnt mention Wild West for National Final songs given the fact that many believed it was a potential winner for the whole contest.
@@clawtooth35 Without wanting to diminish the song and it's potential (the staging was so good!), I think a lot of people were only expecting Bashar to do well because of politics. It's a great song that ticks all of my boxes and would've been in my top ten, and imo also the overall top ten. It definitely should've won the NF and maybe been mentioned in this video because of that robbery. But it's not really a winning song.
I hate when people bring up politics when talking about results, but I had to be the one this time, sorry 🙈
Alesia🤝Tom🤝Gabe
the ESC holy trinity
No France for chorus!?!?
sarah bonnici continues to be robbed
Norway should have done better with you and the contest
Is it awards to only the finalists? 😮
Circus x sadness. Couldve battles for top 5
👀 from Armenia 🇦🇲 👏
Bring my brother back! Take it away!😊
Joost easy win
Gabe not nominating UK for worst vocals 🧐
💖💖💖
Not Fillari🤣😬
The fact ya’ll didn’t even mention Krick’s Drowning in the rain in the national final lost songs section hurts me on a personal level.
Except Europapa, most of the songs I still listen to are from national finals. I loved Sara Siipola, Jorge Gonzalez and Jacqueline

Yes I love the Alesia Michelle shoutout!!!!!
Love the shoutouts for @EscTom and @thepeacearound (Rachel) - two of my favorites besides Gabe and Noosh! 💕
Exactly, those are my favourites as well. But Overthinking Eurovision deserves a mention too, the amount of research they do for their videos is stunning, and the videos they made about Greece and The Netherlands/UK were the best of the season in my opinion.
@@oscarfernald9402 I totally agree! They skipped one year and I messaged them the whole next year saying "please come back!" 🩷 Although I did feel like,as brilliant as they were, there weren't nearly as many videos talking about the actual songs....those are always so funny, I hope they might do more next year ...although Matt R.'s life is about to get mad busy! 💕
I am not gonna watch eurovision from now on because of the whole is**el debacle so these videos are giving me some type of closure ❤
Gosh, the second guy is so annoying
Wait V-sauce actually represented estonia? I thought it was just a joke😭
It is a joke.
@@jijitters okay that's what I thought but I'm really slow
Can we talk about the description of this video? "Who danced like Jojo Siwa" 💀
Kinda weird how Estonia was a leading nomine, u kinda make them sound like they had a mega pop star international mind blowing life changeing moment like chill ou babe
The idea that Armenia would even be nominated in any category apart from maybe Chrisma is a bit of a joke in itself. Dont tell me a "la la la" chorus is catchy. 🙄
Amer seems sad about BiH not a part of Austro-Hungary with all those Austria wins trough out the categories.
Also, Gabe, HRT will learn nothing. They will learn nothing. I hope the people will save Dora again next year as we are, sadly, participating again.
Good things for Croatia 🇭🇷will be go out from this competition we don't need this and give ebu money for what nothing
no we won't
As for the content, weird that you haven't mentioned Wiwibloggs and Overthinking Eurovision (they create amazing videos)
They are great! Only nominating 3 was a real struggle. I could have easily nominated 10 or more
