correction: Serbia and Montenegro participated TWICE not once 🫣
Was about to say it😂
was wondering about the Zauvijek Moja erasure
I was delighted to see Verka Serduchka cameo in Melissa McCarthy's film, "Spy." Also Dima Bilan in 2006 reminds me of Wolf from the Russian cartoon, "Well, Just You Wait!"
I honestly thought you had some kind of beef with Zauvijek Moja 😂
May I suggest another tier list: the highest places each country reached.
That will be a great one
сant wait for gabe to make a "I ranked every third place since 2000"
And we're not even talking about the "I ranked every fourth place since 2000".
Or "I ranked every last place since 2000"
And later "I ranked every 23rd place since 2000"
@@El_Jacob1and then “Ranked every fifth place since 2000”
No. This is quite enough thanks.
Fun fact about maNga (Turkey/Türkiye 2010), once it was revealed the lead singer is a follower of Erdogan, many Turkish fans went back to Satellite's videos on the Eurovision channel and congratulated Lena for her victory.
I feel like we need a ranking of all the last place songs after this. Would be fun for sure 😂
that would be the next one i would do! i will think about it 🤔
But dead last place or last in final?
Yess, please do that. The last places from the finals.
Fun fact: Voila has become a figure skating staple, there’s at least four different programs this year alone!
That's so sweet. Thank you for the info.
Could you do a video about the 2020 songs? I'd really like to hear your opinion on them
Good idea! People have not really revisited those songs and there are real gems there!
Yes!!!!
agree!
I think the arguably funniest and worst part of Polina’s performance is the end where Russia is the centre of the world.
Thank you for your love for Käärijä, when he was announced as a participant for UMK 2023 almost nobody knew who he was, me included. Then when his Cha Cha Cha video was released by UMK , it is safe to say that his fate in Finland was sealed, he was an instant "star" the next day, people talked about the green bolero guy everywhere never have an artist in Finland in connection with Eurovision made this kind of huge impression, and I don't think it will ever happen again. Käärijä is and will always be remembered as an UMK/Eurovision "king" in Finland with an amazing personality.
You should do a "ranking every eurovision stage since 2000" video. I think looking at how well they interact with the performances could be interesting.
My take on 1st runner ups:
2000: the Russian Britney on latex
2001: unapologetic country sesh
2002: Malta's ticket to Disney
2003: does Belgium have a official language anyway?
2004: when Balkan ballad trend started thanks to Moje Lane
2005: another ticket to Disney from Malta
2006: creepy on every aspect. Including Dima
2007: SUPERSTAR
2008: literal bombshell (no pun intended)
2009: sweet ballad it almost give me diabetes
2010: Linkin Park + Super Sentai
2011: when hype for Italy started
2012: adorable party grannies
2013: I rather see this win over 2011's entry for Azerbaijan. So dramatic
2014: very intimate bluegrass jam
2015: propaganda to the core
2016: I keep calling calling to bring Dami back with a banger of a song.
2017: eastern europe take to k-pop
2018: sponsored by Moroccan Oil
2019: Mediterranean R&B with an attitude
2020:
2021: 'FRANCE!' - Miss Universe France 2018
2022: UK's Eurovision rockstar. Also proves that Europe don't hate UK. It's the BBC for sending sh*t songs that makes the audience lose interest to vote.
2023: Rockstar in bolero! Me still chanting CHA CHA CHA until now.
2024: Whoever is responsible to ignore Rim Tim Tagi Dim during Dora, please meow back and have your say! Thank goodness for that artist that withdrew the last minute and give Baby Lasagna a chance to shine.
My Top 5 2nd placers: 2023, 2024, 2007, 2016, 2010
Thank you Gabe for your fantastic commentary once again!
You are sooo spot on, when it comes to polina-war-criminal-gagarina.
And as for Mango, I'm still listening to their song, it has aged well, despite the fact that it was 14 years ago.
So sad about million voices, i loved that song but its sad what Polina did and represent
I still listen to a Million Voices. When I first saw her sing it, I was drawn to her voice. We shouldn’t cancel someone for their opinions.
I showed a German friend a number of Eurovision songs We Could Be The Same was the only one that impressed her.
@@TheManInBlueFlames Defending and actively supporting genocide is not "an opinion", it is a crime against humanity.
Käärijä and Baby Lasagna are my absolute favorites
I couldn't agree more with the opinion about the Russian's entry. I don't like the song because I don't like ballads in general, but the fact that they sent an attractive blonde woman dressed in white, right after invading Ukraine and banning the "promotion" of lgbtq+ identities, really rubs me the wrong way. It was like they wanted to white wash their reputation and show that Russia isn't like those "western countries" that would send lgbtq+ artists or have a campy performance. They wanted to show that Russia is very traditional and proper, so they went with a very safe performance. I don't want to discredit the Polina's talent, because she's a good singer and I think she was primarily chosen for her talent. But she's a P*tin supporter, so I don't want to give her much grace anyway.
Also I've noticed that the performers in a lot of Russia's entries wear white or a very light color. Idk if it's on purpose, but I just found it interesting.
Polina Gagarina was among my favourite artists for many years as I had a Russian pop phase in the late 2010s until February 2022. Now she’s literally dead to me and I hope we never see her in an ESC-context again. Even if you count out the pro-war/pro-regime stance, she has a reputation for being callous and a faker, who would do anything to remain on top.
I'm so sorry about the shattering of Russophilia in the last two years. At least you have uncle Gustaph to bring you through. 😊😊
@@EldaMengisto it’s ok now. I was blind to some very obvious things. I don’t support war in general, so also the war in Ukraine and everyone who supports the killing of their neighbours automatically disappears for me. So 2022 was both heartbreaking and eye opening at the same time. All the love and strength to Ukrainian people. 🇺🇦
Same here. At the time, I was a naive little 16 year old boy who thought blonde Russian girls were the prettiest thing in the world lol and I cheered on this heavily to win while my parents were commenting how it was bad taste. Now I completely understand why. In full honesty, I still like the song. But its just too hard to listen to it without knowing who sings it and the context of the time.
Awww united by Käärijä, so sweet 💚
Fellow ukrainian here, in 2015 Sweden and Mons were our herous, as they didn’t let this purest of lies of second place win. This was next level of duplicity to hear that country sing about piece and million voices when they took Crimea and started Donbass conflict a year prior
Here before the pro-russians
Btw Ani Lorak is Z now. Live with it.
@@PolinaTimoFF what are you even talking about
@@PolinaTimoFF She always was but she was never singing about peace and love and new age self improvement bollocks. The lack of hypocrisy counts for a lot.
I didn't really vibe with Baby Lasagna at the time but since then, and rewatching his performance, his stage presence is phenomenal.
Please make a video like this one but ranking the last place song each year. It would be interesting to see whether you think they deserved last place or should have been higher up
Oooooo yeah that would be so interesting
so he would just rank the german entries😂🙈
I so agree on what was said about Käärijä 😊 He still keeps blowing my mind time and time again with his music and personality.
Just want to say, Bulgaria 2017 was and still is my 2017 winner and one of my favourite Esc songs of the last decade. I think it's because I was like 13-ish at the time, it was my second contest and the idea of someone not much older than me delivering a performance that professionally presented was really inspiring to me, not to mention I thought Kristian's vocals were fantastic and he conducted himself brilliantly (and I just really liked the song). I completely understand it not standing out for some or being to everyone's taste, that makes sense, but I'll always have some emotional attachment to it.
(Don't worry, Portugal was my 2nd, I'm not salty, took a few years to grow on me but now I absolutely love that performance too).
Kristian Kostov was born on the exact same day I was so it definitely will always have a special place in my heart for that reason!
Same tbh. I was 16 when that contest took place and like you've mentioned, the vocal, the confidence, stage presence along with genuinely really liking the song (and I loved the staging and styling) made this my 1st of 2017 and it remains one of my favorite ESC songs/performances since I started watching in 2009.
I would love to get a video about what the hell was going on in 2010 and 2011 in the results(especially 221 because WTF)
Yes, please
Also a 'fun' fact - Alsou's daughter Mikella Abramova won The Voice Kids Russia in 2019 and her victory got taken away after it was discovered that her parents had invested into bots to help her win. Yerzhan, who represented Kazakhstan in jESC the same year was one of the finalists, that people say was robbed and that should have won.
Isn't Alsou herself the daughter of some oligarch? She wouldn't have been chosen to represent Russia otherwise.
@@trildi oh she is. Her father is an oil billionaire and was among the 100 richest people in Russia at the time. He pretty much financed her career at least initially.
@@KatyV191 Yeah, I thought so. So Alsou was just continuing her family tradition then 😂
Loving the videos, Gabe. I specially waited for part 3 of the iceberg video to come out so that I could binge the mini-series in one sitting.
Gabe not being updated on the maNga/Erdogan lore
I don't think anyone else does, can you tell us more about that?
@@santinodeagustini The main singer for maNga is an Erdogan supporter
You should rank your favorite eurovision countries. Which ones make the most bangers, how do they approach the contest and so on.
It's a shame Maneskin, barbara pravi and Gjon participated in the same year
All 3 deserved to win
REAL
I took a toilet break while the Russian entry was being performed in 2015, and I've never attempted to listen to it since. It deserves its own unique tier, so thank you Gabe.
Idea for another tier list: every contest since 2000 by song quality. 2002 would have to go in the D tier.
Dami Im Baby Lasagna Verka Farid Mammadov Eleni Foureira Mahmood Kaarija and Sam Ryder are my favorite runner ups❤❤
The correct tier for Polina Gagarina would be Z Tier.
5:24 The first of five Eurovision attendings for Ms. Hera Björk 🇮🇸
the second (she was year earlier with euroband)
@@rumenok that's right. But it still sums up to five in total 😅
Croatia 🇭🇷 was a great song this year. Kaarija to return would not be a bad idea.
16:15 "only time this country took part" exactly no name never happened
…oops
And nobody hurt no one
...wait wrong country
@@escgabe it's better this way
If loving Verka is wrong I don't want to be right.
mmm esc gabe i love your videos thank you for fuelling my eurovision obsession
Beautiful Mess in C is a CRIME
im not gonna let my personal preferences get in my way... and then this
i don't understand why these lists aren't in chronological order it just feels wrong
Yes, it does. It's totally weird.
Good thing Heroes won in 2015, imagine how a 2015 Russian victory would look for Russia and Polina today
Grande Amore normally would have won that year but sadly, Il Volo messed up in the Jury Final 😭
not the kirkoflop jumpscare before 8 am, thank you gabe
at least it will have woken you up 🫣
💖🐬💖I just wanna be part of your symphonyyy🐬💖🐬 5:30
What about the next ranking being Host countries entries since 2000? I feel like that would be interesting since they have such a wide variety of results!
A lot of the runner-ups should have won ESC in my opinion, that includes Käärijä, Chiara, Rollo & King, maNga, Mahmood and Sam Ryder.
rim tim tagi dim became a regular in my karaoke rotation 💀 the only eurovision song to get there, though only because i never get the vibe i was for hard rock hallelujah
I gasped with Yohanna’s placement 😢😢
Honestly, Gabe, no lies were told.
Netherlands 2014 with that staging, man... I was in a bad place back then. So much so, that I couldn't even properly nerd about Eurovision that year, I hadn't even memorized the songs by name, and I heard a few of them for the first time only in semis. And I scoffed at most of them - it's like that South Park episode where Stan listen to music and it just sounds like shit. And then this song starts. And I felt calm. Everything felt so mellow.
My favourite Eurovision song and performance of all times.
GIRLFRIEND?!!?!? 👁👄👁
It's like that Britney GIF. 😂
As a Belgian, I would definitely not be opposed to my country sending another entry in an imaginary language, rather than constantly singing in English.
...as long as it's the 2003 variety, not the 2008 variety
PLEASE DO IT.
Yeah, wtf was that in 2008 lol
Let’s be honest, in the majority of these cases, the 2nd placers COULD have won and would have easily been a great winner. My favourite songs for the three years running have been 2nd placers and for like three years before that they were all bangers! There seems to now be the worrying trend of the televote favourite not quite making the mark!
THE SAM RYDER LOVE
@@Dmoll as a Brit it was wild watching the expectations build around Space man. People who weren't British in comments sections saying they loved it, the building realisation that we were getting left of the board for the first time since Dadi Freyer met his wife (shout out to Fatih Melek for that one) then the massive cheers as Sam walked out in the flag parade, the performance and thank eff we didn't screw up the staging for once, the getting points with the first jury and then 12 from Ukraine delivered by the pagan goddess Katheryna herself, all the other 12s including France, Sam not unknowing what Royiame Uni douze points meant, Graham Norton's they're talking to us, they never talk to us, winning the jury, coming second and then hosting. I did call it in advance we'd use twinning in the postcards I'm proud of that.
@@EmoBearRights I saw him live a few weeks ago and when I saying he's definitely one of the best artists I've ever heard live.... it's no understatement. That man is... I have no words. Absolutely incredible.
Your videos are such a treat! Thank you!
I hated all the Russian ones except the grannies. I love those adorable old biddies.
Yes for, Dami Im, Sound of Silence … still one of my all time faves! (Proud Aussie here 🇦🇺) ✌️
I'm going to declare it straight up. Proud Aussie here too, and with one exception (2019) no other Australian performance has made me as proud. @Gabe, I'd love to hear why, with those epic notes, Dami doesn't deserve S teir? As another commentor has said, at that time no one had sung notes like that live...
Awesome video, as always !
Although I’d put 2013/2018 lower and 2004 higher, always enjoy hearing your POV as someone who’s been to quite a few in person.
This video idea has great repeatability too. I’d love to hear you do the same for last places as there’s a real mix of undeserved (& deserved) entries. You could even consider doing a tier list for host country entries - some of them are really underrated gems !
31:58 the putin face I CANT
I agree with many choices in this list. Personally, I want to give a shoutout to Italy 2011 who absolutely should have won. In a year that is plagued by so many low-quality songs with boring staging where they could have potentially done so many more interesting things... in comes Italy for the first time since 1997 and immediately shows everyone how it's done.
I love jazz as a genre, I find Raphael's vocal delivery to be phenomenal, the staging was immaculate...
This, should, have, won.
Dancing Lasha Tumbai was by far the first Eurovision entry I listened to
Beautiful Mess is one of my all-time favourites and I still listen to it frequently. I’ve never thought the ‘everything is on the wire’ line felt wrong…. I picture a tightrope walker who could fall at any minute…. It feels like a perfect illustration of something fragile and close to falling apart. It fits the song absolutely perfectly. Of all the things to criticise about this song, I’m stunned it’s the lyrics….. they’re poetry.
Denmark 2001: Never Ever Let You Go.
Russia 2006: Never Let You Go.
What if instead of ranking every Eurovision Runner-up since 2000, it was ranking every Talk Tuah podcast episode featuring Haley Welch?
this is the most upsetting comment anyone has ever posted on this channel
Can’t wait for ranking every 20th place at Eurovision since 2000. Snap has to be A tier.
Honestly, I would love to see your opinions on all the songs 2000 to now all the way down to 10th or even better 15th place. Some of my top favorites placed 11th through 13th. Keep up the good work, you and Jay are always producing perfection.
I agee what you said about Baby lasagna + he wrote lyrics, music and produced song by himself, only he in this year + his vocal is perfect for this song + he brought traditional elements and styling on the stage to present his country + he was always nice to everyone, so he belongs to S list 💫
kristian kostov is WAY too low the sheer audacity hes A tier
Ahh these videos are so entertaining. Also I love your perspective and unbiased opinions!
Tbh I think when you see a video like this and look at third places, there's a lot of quality in those entries and just shows how competitive some editions have been (particularly in recent years). It is nice to see that some entries that have done consderisnly well have also had success commercially in the months/years after their performances and have a legacy.
We, Australia should have won with the Sound of Silence! They changed the voting system that year and that changed us from winning and coming 2nd.
Question for ESC Gabe: Can you make a top 100 for pre 2000s eurovision songs you like? I'm quite interested in your taste.
Again a very enjoyable video and I agree with you on most of the ratings.
Suggestion for another video or videos: top songs that didn't qualify since 2008, and most horrific songs that didn't qualify. So top and flop lists.
I was so here for Polina's take down, THANK YOU! This is why I forgive you for placing Soldi below the top tier. 😉
Thank you for educating us
I still talk to my therapist about Turkey coming second in 2010 🥲😅😭 my emo heart is still not over this loosing to Lena and her blue underwear winning! 😭
Dami Im high note is nothing against Kaliopi in 2012.
i’m so excited for the video: ranking every 17th place in the contest, he will surely do that c’mon
Loved this. Every year my fav seems to come 2nd.
Would love to see a ranking of last places, that would be very fun to watch!
Couldn't agree more with you about Eleni Foureira. As someone who knew about her previously, when first released Fuego felt very underwhelming, especially with that video. Then came the live performance and I was in awe. Incredible how much a good live performance can change the impression of a song.
Similarly, but opposite, when Tamta's Reply was released the following year I was really surprised how much I liked it. Her's previously released music was a bit of a hit and miss for me so I wasn't hoping for much and was pleasantly surprised. But then came the live performance and everything went down the drain. Unlike Eleni's performance, this was so underwhelming and for me brought the whole energy of the song down.
The S tier was quite amazing! And the war crime tier was a surprise...
I still don't understand how Sanomi didn't win and I'm still pissed that Gjon didn't win, because imo both these songs were 10x better than their year's winners
Interesting. I like both "Sanomi" and "Everyway that I Can", though I felt like the latter had more of that spark.
I don't think Sanomi was as good as Everyway that I can, it had a bit more of a novelty factor pulling it through while Everyway that I can is more of a song you can listen too, though that might also be because I used to have it on CD. Though I'm kinda salty about it at the same time, being Belgian
@@jlust6660 It's not a song I can listen to, because it's too boring to even listen to it once for me
Videoya maNga we could be the same’i göreceğimi bilerek tıkladım🌝🇹🇷Türk halkının Eurovision travması olan ikincilik
Okay hear me out: ranking all last place entries since 2000, whether that includes semis or not is up to you
Fun fact when I was younger watching the Eurovision with my family in 2012 (everyone wanted to see jedward) I fell asleep right before Russias entry performed.
Damn you Engelbert Humperdinck!!!!!
fun fact, dami ims high note would have been the highest note ever sung in a eurovision winning song if she had won, instead that honor went to the song that she lost to, 1944
Next : all hosts since 2000 ranked
"I Ranked Every Eurovision Last Place Since 2000" next?
Gabe, i just wanna say your russophobia is music for my ears 🥰🥰 thanks a lot for that!
Malta coming 2nd in 2005 is impressive considering it was 100% televote.
I LIVE for your rants, Gabe 😂
Does anyone else change the 2015 runner-up song in their head to "A Million Roaches"?
The Dima 'dance move' you showed is perfectly synchronised with the ballet dancers. So, a nice touch and not odd.
For the longest time I couldn't figure out what song 7th Wonder reminded me of but it is most definitely C'est La Vie! 😆
how i wish barbara had won... even as someone who predominantly listens to rock i just can't get myself to like maneskin
Unpopular opinion: Voilà is so French it is profoundly dull. I acknowledge that it is quality and well sung but so French. That the reason I did not like Slimane's song either...
2008's entry was the most 2008 fake tan I've ever seen! 😂😅🧡
I'd love a tier list of Junior Eurovision winners as well!
@ESC Gabe, I love your videos and your sense of humor.
I really don't want to intrude and be rude, have you ever been checked for lupus?
!? no, how come
So proud of Urban Trad. Still loving the song. ☺
ur best video :)
Could never be made at you, Gabe. Even if you hated one of my favorite songs. I loved Chiara's Angel. Maybe not in my top 10, I know its cheesy, but its so sweet and so beautifully song. Have you seen how her imaged changed some years (don't know how many) after the contest? Again, not mad, but kinda flabbergasted that you dislike Beautiful Mess! (I know, others are gonna tell me that did too - LOL!) I just thought it was beautiful. In my top 5 for sure.
I’d love to see a host country song ranking!
