#eurovision2024
I'm devastated for Norway. They were my absolute fav and I though they would get more from both the jury and the public. Now excuse me I'll go watch Ulveham on repeat until I fall asleep in my chair.
I might never recover from this disappointment. I guess I'll just keep telling myself Ulveham was too good for Eurovision ...
It obviously sent most of the public to sleep as well
I didn't think they would win, but damn last place 🗿. Well, someone needs to be in last place. Protecting the record of most last places
Same here. It's the second year my absolute favourite comes last - last year Lord of the Lost, and this year Gåte. And my secobd favourite tgis year didn't even qualify - Mustii 😭
I'm actually surprised too. First time I like a Norwegian entry in years. I found previous years quite cheesy even though they resonated with the public.
You could say they were the Blanca Paloma of this year. The ethnic entry which got a very muted public response.
devastated for Croatia. was rooting for him since the song was released, and i knew he had winning potential.
yeah, would've completed a literally perfect fairytale for Eurovision. A new country winning for the first time with such story would've been amazing
@@chootanf i personally find nemo's fairytale story better
Thank you,people! You showed you loved Marko and gave him boost for his future carrier.So, keep listening to him, he has a few more song released,and enjoy!Cheers from Croatia!❤
Technically... they won in 1989 for Yugoslavia with Rika... but hey, the last Swiss victory was in 1988 @@chootanf
Me too I liked the song since it was released for the Dora
Although I wanted Croatia to win I had the feeling Switzerland was going to win. I'm so happy for Portugal and Ukraine. I expected France and Ireland to do well.
Norway was shocking. So glad for Silvestras 🇱🇹. 10th in the Televote and 14th overall. And my country won.
good job! im croatian and a bit sad we didnt have our deserved win but still im happy for nemo!!!❤
Great reaction! I too was rooting for Croatia to win, but 2nd is a great result and the win for Nemo is deserving as well. And I wholeheartedly agree about Norway, they deserved so much more.
Thank you for another amazing coverage this season 💜
12th Place for Germany 🇩🇪
This is like winning for us 🤩
Thank you Europe!
I‘m proud of your country🇨🇭❤️🇩🇪
Jeremy, you're the definition of positivism. 😀
This is what we need more of, being grateful for a good performance
AMAZING SONG AND SINGER. Very good Germany
I’m dreading what Norway’s close will encourage for entries in the following years. I would’ve loved to see more Gåte-esque songs
I KNEW it wasnt gonna appeal to the public.
Norway's folklore did better in 2019 (highest amount of votes by the public).
The same thing that Fullen's second-from-bottom finish encouraged. France simply returned to the age-old formula of sending banal chanson songs.
A fantastic finish to a tumultuous weekend, I’m glad to see it, a great final 2, both deserved it. Thank you for the video 🌸
Wise words
Thank you all for supporting Croatia🇭🇷 this year. Baby Lasagna is our national hero and treasure and today is gonna be big program welcome program for him and his team on Zagreb. I admit, I cried last night because he lost the victory, it was so emotional. He united all Croatia yesterday, among other participants last years in the ESC absolutely nobody managed to do something like this. After all, we have to be fair and congratulate Switzerland🇨🇭. Ok, it was expected that 🇨🇭 will probably win the jury, but I really didn't expect that that big margine over all the others (France 🇫🇷 especially).
And my other, "secondary" disappointment is Norway🇧🇻. How the hell did they come last? My personal favourites is we exclude my own country. Absolutely shameful.
I feel this for you as last year Kaarija united Finland like no one before and it is depressing to not see them winning, however just like Kaarija, Baby Lasagna would be remembered and truly appreciated in the Eurovision community
Croatia - the viewers champion! Glad to see France do as well as they did, too.
its fine. we both deserved to win. marko did our country proud like never seen before. guess ill have to wait till im 80 to see us winning...
but we also dont have really much money nor goof artists, so its maybe better this way! im really happy for nemo tho! and bambie!!both were in my top 3 ❤❤
I'm really sad Italy didn't get a single 12 points from the jury. So underrated.
Rightly so, her breath technique is not good. Only earned some points really because the composition itself is quite good, but the vocal on it is rather mediocre.
The staging was pretty bland sadly
lol not underrated at all. it was too overrated at start
croatia robbed actually im so sad for us
Rai did a stupid thing, that's our govern's fault!!!
I don't know when will my country (🇭🇷) have another chance at getting so close to victory.
I'm gutted and very sad...
yeah... it seems only countries that have already won before still win every freaking year
But you should be happy and proud. Runner up at Eurovision, thats something!
Baby Lasagna won our hearts 🫶🔥 he won televoting and Nemo was 5th.
Super happy for Nemo ♥️ but really devastated for Baby Lasagna 💔
I think this Is the feeling of everyone! Very good winner, but the second one Is Epic
I‘m so happy for Nemo🇨🇭❤️
I had a calculator on the side to count backwards. When everyone from Luxembourg to Italy had under 200 (except Ukraine), there were still almost 800 pts in play and I knew Switzerland was gonna win.
Super happy to see Ukraine defy running order gravity, Croatia win over the silent majority, and Switzerland win of course.
Baby Lassgna is the winner of the televotes!!!
That means he has withdrawed the people in the world! And that is the most important!❤❤❤
Yep. Truly a Käärijä moment again, same as last year!
TV: “They need 183 points”
One second later
Rachel: “I can’t do the math” 😂😂
She meant she couldn’t count if there were enough points left
During the time Croatia and Switzerland had their entrants’ faces in split screen, I aged quitted immediately after counting the total televote score (counter began at 2204) and each time televote scores are announced, the number is decreased from my counter. After France’s score was announced, my counter showed 226 points left for Switzerland to win (183 was required). So my hope for Croatia was lost and I left the live feed.
I was calculating too... since Nemo and I have the same hometown, I was so happy... but there's only one winner, although more than contestant deserved to win... let's enjoy what we share and not what divides us...now I look forward to ESC in Switzerland. May it be in Croatia another time!
So thrilled you still did your reaction! I've never had my personal winner win before so I was thrilled for Nemo, and even still my heart hurt for Baby Lasagna.
As a German I could not believe my eyes! 😂❤
I never thought that i would ever see my country win Eurovision live on TV 🇨🇭
Ireland 6th :') thank you everyone! 🇮🇪♥️
That was such a great performance - I had to give it some votes. Also I just love you irish people. You have a special way of being human that just respect and love so much. Bambie KILLED IT!
That's just screen. In spirit, it's just equally first along with switzerland. Proud of both of them. I felt that union much more than ever!
6th with the jury, 6th with the televote, 6th overal, 666!
Bambie was my winner 🇮🇪
Should’ve been at least top 5
Thanks for your support of Bambie Thug and Ireland this year. Hopefully we will be "authentic " after their participation and presence in representing Ireland 🇮🇪 this year 🤗
That was SO amazing!! Pure art.
@keithgaskin1775 I liked the song from the beginning, but it wasn’t my favourite. But then at the first semi final: that staging, the excellent camerawork, the steady vocals, the creativity to tell a story with so few stage props, the outfit reveal, and then those screams at the end: I don’t think I ever got tingles, shivers, and goose bumps in these amounts from a Eurovision act.
So fair play Ireland, really glad you took the risk, and congratulations 😁👌🏾🇮🇪
I really am super satisfied with this result! I would have been happy for both Croatia and Switzerland to win, but I‘m very happy, Nemo made it🩷🇨🇭 And as a German this 12th place feels like a f*cking victory, I can‘t believe we actually scored so high, it’s amazing🔥
Glad that you was satisfied. We Croatians were so close but not close enough. But I hope Croatia win next year in Switzerland. Riva from Zadar with their song "Rock me Baby" won in ESC 1989 in Lausanne so I hope it will repeat again in 2025. 🇭🇷❤️🇨🇭
Thank you for all your support for our dear boy BL! We Croatians are so proud!❤❤❤
I think every Eurovision fan’s booty simultaneously unclenched when Ukraine took the lead. Like, “whatever happens next year, at least we don’t have to deal with THAT.”
I so agree!
I know mine did lol
@SuperJNG18 I don’t know if you could hear on tv, but in the Arena, that was the loudest cheer of the entire night 🙂
Portugal ❤❤❤soo beautiful voice and performance too ❤❤❤soo emotion
When I tell you my friends and I were screaming at the TV. Switzerland was the favorite of the group so we were so happy!!!
Hi from Croatia and thanks for rooting for our boy! Meow! :)
such a deserving winner. Juries rewarded the artistic masterpiece that was the Code and Nemo :) so happy for them.
Thank you for supporting Croatia
Well, Rachel is my favorite Eurovision fan. I love your reactions to the songs. Take care of yourself and I'll see you next year. Always in my Spanish heart 😊
Who had it on their bingo card that Latvia was going to make the final and comfortably outscore the UK and Spain in the televote?
Fun fact : this year is the lowest ever year (since 2009) where the 100 point mark is with only 13 countries , the highest being 2011 with 24 out of 25 (with new voting system)
Sad for Croatia.This was their big chance as a small country.
They were good, but maybe next year? I hope
I hope Croatia win next year in Switzerland. The group Riva from Zadar with their song "Rock me Baby" won in ESC 1989 in Lausanne so I hope it will repeat again in 2025. 🇭🇷❤️🇨🇭
Thank you for helping us through this difficult (and sad, I’d say) season, Rachel! You are wonderful!
Thank you for everything this Eurovision season, Rachel. Wishing you all the absolute best, especially given how difficult it’s been for us Eurofans over the past few months. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️
Well deserved Nemo! It was flawless, perfect voice, difficult song, with so many genres and they did great in any of them ( rap is my favorite part) and so energetic. Croatia, would have been for me also a great winner, I would have been very happy as well, and second place, I mean it is great! I think if the Netherlands would have sing, he would have taken so many points from the public, I for instance love europapa so much, it was my winner!
Devastated for Norway - love that song and Gate is a new mainstay on my Spotify playlists. Sad for Croatia because Baby Lasagna was just fantastic. Thrilled for Switzerland because what a deserving win. Overall, I'm just relieved it turned out the way it did. I would've been fine with literally anyone besides a certain country with how the past week went.
I am extremely happy. I did want a Croatian victory but the contest already ended when Ukraine overtook the first spot. The people have already won there, no matter who the final victor would have been. Nemo did deserve it all the same, they are a lovely person and they spoke up for peace.
The public rated Croatia as one, Israel second, and Ukraine third. Politics aside, Israel’s song was blah and their performance, unmemorable, but for Croatia and Ukraine, well deserved! Israel shouldn’t even have been in the Top 10, even objectively speaking.
Yes! I nearly cried when that happened. I was rooting for Croatia, very closely followed by Nemo and a few more, at that time I couldn't help but to be rooting for ANY entry but that one really. Not politics, Humanity! 🕊️
Well said! No hate, just your opinion. I‘m glad people like you exist
Thanks for your videos this season- and what a bizarre season it has been! See you next year 🇪🇺
You are just like me when I watch Eurovision, I can't help but stand and talk to the tv and clap
Thank you, Rachel! As a Croat, I'm grateful for your support! You are my favourite commentator ❤ I've been a follower for years and I appreciate your fair, well-argued videos! Don't stop, please ❤
I am heartbroken 💔😭
Why? Because of Joost kicked out for no reason?
Thank you Rachel for your coverage and your priceless reactions and statements this year! 👏👏
The world really needs more people like you. But this Contest doesn't deserve you unfortunately.
Lots of love and peace ✌️
Thanks Rachel for all your videos and analysis of the songs ! What a season ! Nemo was my winner this year from the day I heard his song for the first time. Baby Lasagna did great and managed to gather so many people with his punchy song. I have to say that Norway coming last was a shock. I'm sooo fond of their song. Until next year 😊
I feel exactly the same as you about Croatia. I know I should be just happy that we dodged the bullet... but still stings a little to see Baby Lasagna coming so close after winning the televote, just like with Finland last year.
I was very impressed with France: song was good,singer amazing. Strange he didn't win.
I liked Portugal, Switzerland, Armenia and Serbia too.
Bambie hugging Nemo was a beautiful moment. I never got The Code, but clearly many did. - UK floptastic! Rachel fantastic! 👍
Thanks for a wonderful season.
Got exact same vibes, Baby Lasagna was my winner, but I'm ok about Nemo winning. He was a vocal beast, 100% deserving.
Love your reviews and reactions (even when you don't like San Marino ;) ); hope to see more of you on Lugano 2025.
PD.: I see what you did with Israel televote. Respect. :x
I have a question.
Was Ireland’s contribution a song or an act?
To me it was a great act but only an interesting song…
Anybody?
Tbh. expected much less jury and maybe few more televote points for them because half of that song was recitation or screaming. This overall-jury-televote placements are also something to discuss, I guess with a priest 😂😅
I’m just glad one of the peaceful countries won
It’s not the best result but it’s not the worst result either!
true!🎉
After the roaring success of Sam Ryder, it hasn’t taken the UK long to get back to its old sins with the all too familiar nil points
@@cultfiction3865 Well the jury gave us points...but Olly should have been given more based on 'commerciality'
Yeah. 0 points for UK were shocking
@@TheManInBlueFlamesReally shouldn't have. The singing was atrocious and the song was cheesy as hell. It was a repeat from last year. It's actually kind of shocking that the juries gave him more points than the likes of Greece and Norway.
I'm Belgian and although we had the best song of this year, I agree the NQ was deserved. However, consider this list:
2006: Kate Ryan - Je t'adore: semi final
2008: Ishtar - O julissi: semi final
2018: Sennek - A matter of time: semi final
2019: Eliot - Wake up: semi final
2021: Hooverphonic - The wrong place: 19th
2022: Jérémie Makiese - Miss you: 19th
2024: Mustii - Before the party's over: semi final
Some of these vocals and stagings were on point. The real problem is France never votes for us...
Thanks for your amazing reactions, coverage etc. Love your channel!
Can't believe we won.
I loved all of the songs.They were so good❤❤
voting closed before austria had a chance, france barley had time also
p.s. Georgia was so underrated
I love you make this kind of live-reaction video R!! I was missing my favourite Joost but I am happy for Nemo, Ukriene and Baby L. The big NO WAY for me was Norway - they derserve a better place.
The Swiss Jury gave Croatia 8 points, Swiss public gave Croatia 10 points.
The Croatian jury gave Switzerland 0 points, the Croatian public 1 point.
Our juries in Croatia are TRAGIC. Lasagna wasn't even supposed to compete in Dora (Cro election). He was DISCARDED by the same "juries" of "experts" we have over here and was one of the many songs that weren't even competing at Dora. Lasagna was allowed to participate at Dora only because one other girl decided to exit the competition and he was allowed to compete as a FILLER act..... I hope nobody th
I hope nobody thinks* for one moment that our jurors have ANY IDEA WTF they are doing. They are even made fun of and people are even discussing all things wrong with Dora because we, the public, don't even know what other good songs were rejected and who knows what other kinds of acts we could've sent over the past 3 years or so.... Repeat after me... XD.... Baby Lasagna was not even supposed to compete at Dora 🤣🤣🤣 The experts thought the song wasn't worthy of including in the lineup 🔥
Yeah I noticed that immediately, that's actually pretty distasteful. I can expect the song not being loved by public, but the juries were obviously doing some anti-voting there.
Ok it's not nice, but we all can understand that they wanted to win soooo badly..... And this was the year
Oh wow, that's almost the same as Sweden and Finland last year
France was the best last night so sad for his 4th place. But congratulation for the winner
Croatia was cool and funny, but the bigger talent is Nemo. Jury just could NOT not see it. I'm very happy for Nemo
This eurovision was devastating, honestly this is what treatment croatia gets every time not what croatia deserves ❤❤❤❤
I didn't care about Eurovision this year since most of the songs seemed kinda mid and nothing stood out to me in particular, but i still decided to watch the finals with my sister. Switzerland was her favorite, and sure enough, after seeing that performance, i was like "Ok, now i hope THIS wins." I think people underestimate how insane that performance was. Nemo was rapping and singing falsetto while running around the stage without even breaking a sweat. I could not believe my eyes and ears. The song is also dynamic and exciting in a way that nothing else this year was (except for Ireland maybe). Very deserving winner imo. Croatia had a fun rock song, which is enough to make most eurofans go crazy, but it's not the second coming of Maneskin or anything.
Thank you for supporting Croatia! It was fun to relive it with you and it alleviated the trauma from watching it live 😂🫶🏻
Thank you for doing the reaction after all!
Thank you for amazing Eurovision coverage.
i'm devastated for croatia, but im THRILLED for switzerland honestly!!! nemo absolutely 1000000% deserves this, like i'm sorry but if you're getting 365 points from the juries and not winning then there's something wrong honestly. nemo's quite literally got the best jury score of all damn time, got enough public support as well, and you're gonna try and knock them of their perch for that??
juries should be CANCELLED they ruin the show every year. The public vote is the only thing that matters WE choose who is the best and was seen in the televote, Switzerland 5th place and Croatia 1st. I said enough.
I felt Bambie deserved more from the televote but pleased my winners Ukraine ranked high if only they weren’t on second and I’m shocked that we got nill points, I have big questions on the legitimacy of the scores but I won’t go there because it’s not worth fighting over
Congratulaton Switzerland and Nemo❤
I'm happy that you found the right enthusiasm to make this video. It's true, the jury has once again decided the winner; I too would have slightly preferred a victory for Croatia. But this year was different, I think the jury's vote recharged all of us with hope and reawakened our love for Eurovision. The final split screen with Croatia vs Switzerland was everything I wanted to see, and I think what we all needed to see after they robbed us of poor Joost.
Croatia❤❤❤
Thx. So nice a personal LGBT song won in this turmoil.
There is hope for ESC going forward, despite all the mistakes.
When Ukraine won in 2022, that was politids, don't kid your selves.
But this ugly year is now behind us. Peace (around).
IM SO PROUD AND HAPPY, SWITZERLAND 2025 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
marko is sucha down to earth humble person. he did us proud❤❤
This is a repeat of last year. The juries chose a country, showered it with lots and lots of 12 points and then the winner of the public vote finishes 2nd (and a very close 2nd, closer than last year)...
I wonder if people are going to be as outraged as they were last year over this situation...My heart says no, unfortunately.
I admit, I'm pretty bitter about Switzerland winning, seeing it was only 5th in the public vote...
It use to be everyone was upset that the jurors would pick neighboring countries and now it's they all pick the same.
It's not the same, last year it happend because it was Loreen. This year Nemo got even more jury points than Loreen did which makes me think the juries agreed on Switzerland because it was good but also, and especially, to avoid the risk of a certain country to win, which got an extremely high televoto with an embarassing number of countries giving 12 points. This doesn't speak in favour of the televote, I prefer the juries at this point
guys marko did us proud like never seen before!!! ❤ we also dont have really good artists nor music so its better this way. i had some hope but knew switzerland would win. also so happy for nemo and bambie ❤❤❤ new discovered artist
Congratulations to Nemo! Im pretty disappointed Ireland didnt win though. I loved the song and the performance. Alot of effort was put into it! Well done to Switzerland though. And congrats to the other 24 countries 👏
You were my way of watching Eurovision this year as I refused to watch the contest for obvious reasons. I'm thankful to have had your content and perspective on the competition and hope that now 2024 is over, major changes can be made for 2025. Keep being you and cannot wait to see more growth as well as content.
I was feeling yesterday exactly like you, I was begging to see Croatia winning, I still believe he deserved the win more than Switzerland. Thething that shocked me the most though was Israel getting so much support from the voting audience, I mean they ended up secon in the televote. I had never seen this coming, and to be honest I still have difficulty to believe it...
I wanna thank you for your coverage this year again. You seem as passionate as the most dedicated of eurovision fans and always 100% real and genuine with positive energy always. ❤️
I watched this from 9pm/21 to 1am/1
At the end of all that drama, I am quite happy with how it turned out, and I did have a good night. Some of these results were, as per in the contest SUPER wack;
- NORWAY!! WHAT THE ACTUAL F-
- -Rance did well on both televote and jury, indeed the big 5 were mostly not disgraced overall. 0 to the UK hurts, but I think the staging, while very professional, was a tad too risqué perhaps.
- Croatia getting their best result since leaving Yugoslavia, Ireland getting their best this entire century, Switzerland winning after nearly 40 years... Loads of highlights, happy for so many of these countries.
- KEEP THE JURIES. We all know what would have happened otherwise.
Happy to watch your reaction, Rach, I know it was one you weren't sure was going to happen. Hugs and till next season (or next music vid) ❤️
I don't think a ESC can't get worse for me personally. With everything going on, Europe voting for Israel, Netherlands disqualified, my country not qualifying for final, my favorite song of the past 20 years ending dead last and a song that gave me a headache winning. Can it get worse than this? I'm happy for Nemo, but the song isn't doing anything for me.
Absolutely disgusted by the juries completely ignoring Norway, I have never had my favorite ending dead last. I might never recover from this 🤣
people have different tastes... I respect Norway, but I wouldn't say I like it... I couldn't listen to that song without switching.
The problem is that there is a lot of wailing in the song and a long held note can sound good when it’s done well but it always feels like she’s trying to sing beyond her natural range and her voice is straining to get there. And, I get it’s ethnic but, ethnic things have been done much better than this. I expected it to do better but I will admit that I never particularly considered it to be a good song
The juries avoiding Norway like the plague really did a number on me. I knew it was not their typical type of song but I at least expected them to have some sort of minimal respect for the spectacular vocal performance that was delivered. We already saw in the press conference after semi 2 how massively demanding it is of a performance.
@@cultfiction3865it has never once sounded strained to me. She always delivers absolutely flawlessly.
I have not forgotten about Fulenn...
They just rushed through them so fast we and the artist themselves didn't really get time to digest the points.
Didn't follow all your reactions but, as a person with musical knowledge, it kinda surprises me you are disappointed that Seitzerland won, when it seems like a more interesting song musically than Croatia to me.
Is there a reason why you didn’t react to Israel? No hate ofc girl, just wondering :) I was just shocked by the televoting this year
Refer to my statement on my community page.
@@ThePeaceAround oh okay! Did not see it, love your videos btw :)
@@ThePeaceAround respected you so much before and now even more
Televoting was clearly rigged. Vote farms, VPN systems... You call it. There's no way nearly all the voting countries gave 12 and 10 to the same entry, whatever it was.
ESC didn't die yesterday but has received a mortal wound.
At least they avoided a disaster.
I'll convince myself that the 323 points went to Joost Klein. 🇳🇱🇳🇱
Switzerland winning makes me emotional and ending the 36-year drought. So freakin' happy for Nemo!
Looking forward to your post-contest review! I think it was a good winner but I had a slight preference for Croatia too. My personal favorite was Ukraine. They largely overcame the running order but surprisingly didn’t convince juries as much this time. I had a worry one particular result could have come to pass, which didn’t. I don’t know if you’ll address it later, but I understand if you won’t. Thanks for sharing your reactions, I love your yearly ESC series!
Great number from Croatia but my favourite overall was Frnace
I’m so happy for Switzerland, Ireland, Ukraine and France
What an emotional rollercoaster of a contest. I'm elated for Nemo but would have loved to see Baby Lasagna win. Ireland just getting outside the top 5 is a shame but top 10 is still an incredible achievement from a long run of NQ. Latvia qualifying and Germany coming left side also has me delighted.
Joost Klein real winner
It’s a travesty that Paskana was not in this contest.
It has been a turbulent edition, but luckily the three shows were OK and a few songs/performances left a mark. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the results (especially for France), except for Serbia's ranking.
Greetings from Italy. 😉
Applaud for your edit ❤
All the transphobia for Nemo is disturbing and disgusting. I cannot believe it. They were my favorite although I would have been happy with a Croatian win as well.
If you told me in March that Germany would be on the left side of the scoreboard and Norway would be last, I would have asked for your passport to delulu land 😅
The outcome of the result would have been different if they didn`t throw out The Nederlands, I think the jury would have been more equal, and croatia clearly won the televotes, Croatia will be my winner even though the Swiss took it this year!
