Italy is the Leonardo DiCaprio of Eurovision
JustSarah HAHAHAHA I’m 9 months late but omg yes
Hello from 2021...ITALY JUST WON EUROVISION
Yup ....here comes The Departed!!
Macedonia's staging was a crime
Macedonia are world masters in ruining good songs with a horrible staging and bad live vocals.
MY biggest crime is that SWITZERLAND DID NOT MAKE IT!!!
do they ever make it ? They have had good songs in the past such with Takasa. But this year they totally deserve to make it.
ESC Lisa Germany ikr! I was so heartbroken, their song clearly had the strongest and most impactful message of all the songs. How can people be like this.
Switzerland and Malta😩😩
Switzerland was my winner 😭
Anaïs Georget same
Stop. Wait a moment. Where's Switzerland non qualifying?
BrooklynR yes yes but I expected it to be a separated crime. It was a shock for me when they didn't qualify
Why is the only time that I don’t like Switzerland is when they do well
ZiBBZ sang very well for Switzerland.
They were so good and their no-qualification is a crime.
Perfect staging and perfect singing.
William 2018: put a moat around the stage!!
Italy 2022: okay!
Yes,someone has to finish last ... BUT NOT PORTUGAL
Cait Xox Portugal was weak, what were they thinking?!......
@@HarmonixHeroine I like more o jardim than amar pelos dois
Lost And Found's staging was the biggest crime. They killed my favorite song. But probably wouldn't have ever done better than Fuego's improval.
My biggest crime is Estonia and Bulgaria so underrated ! The so called jury of "professionals" not ranking them on top is SHAME!
You forgot the juries slaughering AWS. They almost made them not qualify which is a shame also for Eurovision in general because it is for every style of music and juries are trying to exclude some genres...
hsvfan 1750
Couldn't agree more :)
We need diversity :)
nil erra good to hear 👍
In my country the jury seriously thought that Russia(!!!) was better than AWS...
hsvfan 1750
I understand you :) AWS came last with juries in my country in the final u.u Very sad
The juries didn't like AWS because of the constant screaming. They aren't excluding it just because it's heavy metal, they are giving it low points because it doesn't fit their style of music, which is more consisted of calmer music, such as ballads.
TE - Fil you are right the screaming is probably why they did not vote for it. But that just shows that they are no music experts. A real expert would apreciate that vocals because it is just another type of singing which is not easy to do. If it was only screaming then everybody could do it. Also juries should vote for song, vocals and the overall package and not for genres 🤔
France could have used the technology that Italy used to show the lyrics
Thank you for mentioning France. Definitely one of the biggest crimes for me with Portugal being last and the semi final draws!
The biggest crime for me was that cyprus didnt win
nope
I always love the different ways Deban does his hair.
The biggest crime is that a lot of the material was (and still is) blocked for a lot of countries; is the first time I could not get over Eurovision by watching the performances on TH-cam; we still can't, and I'm really pissed off about that fact.
Looking back on last year, what I consider the biggest crimes: (In no particular order)
- SuRie's stage invader
- Portugal ending in last place in the final
- Switzerland not qualifying for the final
- North Macedonia's performance, staging and vocal performance alike
- Sweden's jury score
- The first semifinal being about 5 times as strong as the second one
- Ukraine getting last with the juries
Crime Top 1 2019:

🇭🇷🇬🇷🇦🇿🇧🇪🇧🇾🇨🇭🇲🇹🇱🇻
My biggest crime is discovering that San Marino uses a fake televote because the have the same line of my country Italy,having to listen for the second year in a row to incompetent commentators during the semifinals (I don't know why we can't have the same ones of the GF for all the shows),SuRie's stage invasion,Greece and Belgium out,my country being robbed by the juries with such a beautiful message,France not getting at least top 10,Estonia not getting top 5,Sweden being overrated for the 4th year in a row and Filomena Cautela,that should've got a bigger role because she is amazing!
Was Sweden overated 2014 that song was good
The most important crime for me is Estonia who should be in the top 3 of juries
Germany, France and Italy should have been Top 3 Juries. They were quality, content, artistic, lyrics.
Estonia was not on that level.
nil erra for me France and Italy yes they have to be higher but I don't like Germany to me Estonia is better than these 3 songs
ethereal
La Forza lyrics/message/content was not on that level. I didn't say it wasn't artistic or quality xD. She has an amazing voice and Estonia deserved Top 10 don't get me wrong.. it's just my opinion about how juries should work and why they are there.
Benj Kr
Germany was emotional in a good way. It just worked. It had more content than Estonia imo.
I totally agree with you about creativity and the lovely lovely Mélovin!
Biggest crimes for me:
Switzerland didn't qualify, juries overrating Sweden and Albania being underrated by the televoters.
I love seeing all these people backing up Switzerland! It really did deserve to qualify
Points given by judges to Ukraine are very unfair! Melovin deserved a much higher place!
Sweden was boring. Too mainstream. I was shocked by the high discrepancy between televote and jury for Sweden. For me the Swedish song gave me nothing musically.
Sweden got low public vote because of the singer's personality and performance. He got high jury votes because the song itself is very commercial, its something you could expect to hear on a top 40 pop station anywhere in the world. Basicly - the public rebuked him as an artist and the jury rewarded the song itself as being commercially viable.
,
PennyWise Lauderhill I knew nothing about his personality but didn’t vote anyway. The song is commercial and the staging is stylish, but all of it was generic and not passionate. And his movements were too silly😂
Translation for MELOVINATORS --ПЕРЕВОД ДЛЯ МЕЛОВИНАТОРОВ:
Переходим к преступлению номер 9
Дебан: Что находится под твоей лестницей, Уильям Ли Адамс?
Уильям: Под моей лестницей много всего.
Магический огненный вампир с великолепным голосом и прекрасной мелодией.
Дебан: Но жюри не оценили его.
Уильям: Да! Что, черт возьми, это вообще было?! Серьезно?!
Евровидение - это о креативности, так ведь? Итак, Украина, с одним из самых креативных выступлений в этом году, с музыкальностью, сценографией - оказалась последней?!
Дебан: Это выносит мне мозг...
Уильям: жюри поставили их в конец?!
Дебан: выносит мне мозг!
Уильям: ты же говорил с ним недавно в Киеве..
Дебан: да, можно я коротко расскажу о том концерте в Киеве. Я никогда не видел так много людей, стремящихся попасть в здание. Этот парень такой шоумен! Это все не сильно ранило его (ситуация с жюри). Как он сказал, я - принадлежу народу, людям, которые хотят купить мои диски. Жюри делают свою работу и я их уважаю, но в конечном итоге они ни на что не влияют.(с)
Уильям: да, я думаю, часто жюри совершенно 'не въезжают', мы зовем их музыкальными профи, но эти профессионалы так пекутся о своих карьерах, что не могут голосовать сердцем, они вынуждены голосовать разумом, думая о том, как их голосование все потом оценят. Это, честно говоря, не такая уж справедливая система, есть недостатки и в телевоуте и в голосовании жюри, но я всегда говорил, что влияние жюри должно быть меньшим.
Дебан: и от этого вдвойне удивительно, что жюри хорошо проголосовало за нашего любимицу - представительницу Австралии.....
My personal biggest crime is Switzerland failing to qualify. I would have left out Lithuania to make room for the Swiss, but the semi was so strong, it's sinful that a mere 10 songs became finalists!
My biggest crime is that people act as if Cyprus getting 2nd place is not an amazing placement. Yeah she didn't win but come on, 2nd place is an incredible achievement. Netta deserved to win, and Eleni getting 2nd place is very well deserved. End of discussion.
Say it louder to the people in the back honeyyyyyyyy
It's also the best result that Cyprus have had
Being second after the betting odds said you're gonna win must be frustrating..
But yeah, those Eleni's fans are being really pathetic about that for too long now
Couldnt agree more
Netta didnt deserve to win, Ieva deserved
I actually think it's a problem for the show in general, that for people who see the performance for the first time doesn't get some songs content and intentions, for example, Azerbaijan about her dead husband and Hungary about the front singers dead father. In Sweden the commentators just said about Hungary: it's about death and they are screaming... and about Ukraine only focusing about Mélovins make up made him look like a vampire... I think it would be nice if the "postcards" could include both something about the host country and the performer, even if the commentators babbling something fun about it, you will still get the chance to come closer to the artist.
Louise Eriksson absolutely in Germany our commentator told us in the semi that hungarys song is about pain and death but not that its about his father which i dont understand because our entry had the same topic.
In the final he did not say that and just mentioned that they are going to wacken open air 😁
I think they should talk more about the meaning especially if the song is not in english 🤔
I am here 3 years late but I need to say this. I am a big fan of Benjamin (Sweden) and listen to his songs after the contest but the jury overrated him a lot while the televotes underrate him. In my opinion, realistically, he would finish around 10-15 position considering the songs that finished around that spot.
SWITZERLAND SHOULDVE QUALIFIED TOP 5
6:22 That became true
Sweden was overrated by the juries
And underrated by the televotes
Sweden is always overrated by juries
I hated Sweden's song.
I don't see the love for Sweden this year. He came off like an overly cocky permanent mugging face trying to be Justin Bieber. I think the televote was generous.
6:23 well well well, here is to italy 2022. 😁
Yes putting Portugal last was a crime
I'm still angry about Switzerland not qualifying :(
Why no one talks about AWS? 😤 Our boys deserved better🤘
The EBU reacted totally right with forbidding China to brodcast Eutovision. This is part of the show and China can't just cut something out! That just doesn't work!
Mae Mose Yeah, agree with you and I'm of Chinese origin. I think according to Chinese law they were forced to cut that out of the show. 😕
How was Malta not mentioned? It was literally the biggest crime imo
The worst crime was Belarus not qualifying tbh
Love these videos! My biggest crime of 2018 is Armenia
How Qami didn't qualify will always be a mystery to me
If it was 4 men hosting no one would bat an eyelash. There were 3 white male hosts in Kyev in 2017 (and no female hosts) yet Deban didn't have a problem with their "diversity". But when it's 4 women - which is historical, never before did we have a female only cast, it's all of a sudden an issue of "diversity". Deban, just say you're misogynistic and go.
The most shocking and devistating crime was yianna not qualifying at least. Such a flop
I have only two words to say: Saara Aalto 😭😭😭😭😭 My personal winner of 2018! 💜💜💜
Regarding Sweden. I think it's a big plus for the team and Benjamin that his performace looked as if it was filmed for some people. But it was a real time performance. What to say more. Great job!!! He was one of my favorites in ESC 2018.
My biggest crime is Norway not coming DEAD last in the semi
Dear Wiwi, I hear you guys a lot about Italy almost being overrated by a enthousiasm for the language. However I voted Italy this year because it had a very strong message that I guess a lot of people fellt or heard about from commentators. I did not plan to vote for it but on the night it touched me! Perhaps more people felt this way... Thats what I think ;) BTW your videos are amazing. ESC would not be the same without you! Kisses from The Netherlands!
Thanks for voting for us❤ I totally got your point, I felt and ended up voting for Germany for the same reasons :D
Great video❤️😍 crime of Saara Aalto she was very good I was in shock that it came 25th😞😱 but for me she is the winner and she slay it ❤️
We were in total shock too!
In my opinion Ukraine had the BEST staging this year!!
Totally agree!!
Yes!
Mae Mose ikr
Melowin was really a great crime of the Juries!
The biggest crime is my top 6 not qualifying... Belgium, Latvia, Croatia, Greece, Switzerland, Azerbaijan. [*]
Will you make a 2018 recap?
The biggest Eurovision Crimes were: Ukraine (Last by the Jury? 17 place? Wtf) He should have entered the Top 10 at least !! Voice, music and performance, All Perfect !!!
Italy (17 place with The Jury, Seriously?) A song with such a beautiful message and sung with such mastery! Thank God there was the Televote to be fair to them!
Switzerland (They not qualifying for the final was so unfair) The power of ZIBBZ's performance and their music will forever be remembered !!
Bulgaria in 14 place was Super unfair too!! They deserved so much better with that Amazing song and voices!!
But perhaps the biggest crime is that Songs like Sweden and Australia end up so high in the Ranking thanks to the Jury, over quality songs and creative songs, which is what Eurovision seeks is not it? I like the songs, but they are much generic! Israel brought something almost unheard of and super exciting, so it won !! Ukraine, Italy, Bulgaria, France, Switzerland, Greece, Malta, Hungary, Denmark!! This is new!! This is Eurovision!!
Been waiting for this so long!! Finally! Great crimes! Agree with you fully!
I've waited SO long for this... finally it's there ♡♡
Georgia finishing last in semi two was an outrage.
Semi Final 1 was the absolute crime. When I saw which countries were in that semi final, I immediately called it a nightmare because majority of the songs were great
MERCY should have been in the Top 3 !!! So underated! Maybe because it is such an intelligent song...
I always waiting for your "LET'S DO THIS!", so fun :)))))
yall got an esc in italy letss gooo
Bulgaria placing 14th is a crime! Equinox should've won!
I know 14 place was a crime but I still love them beyond the bones
I’m mixed on Bulgaria...
Now you just need to do the recap 😂😂
Haha, yes! Still looking for a big enough space :(
The biggest crime for me was that I couldn't vote in Semi 2 because of technical problems in Italy.
Speaking in general, how about juries underrating Georgia so much?? Their song was great and particular, and well performed. I'm still upset about that last place!
And about Italy, I don't think our current political situation would impact much on a possible Eurovision hosting (or at least I hope so)
This is the first time I comment on the subject, despite having followed the drama from the beginning. When Salvador, last year, spoke about all the stuff about fast-food music, the first thing that comes to my mind it is not the genre of the music, but rather the process of making a song. Then I remember a documentary that I saw that was speaking about a music program that create "songs". If I remember correctly it said that for each 30 "songs" created, only one was enjoyable (sorry i don't remember the title of that documentary). That is what I call fast-food music, when most part of the process of making music, cames from a machine and not from human criativity. So basically, when I heard people said that Netta's song was a fast-food music, i do not agree. Just because a song is kinda pop/techno with a accelerated rhythm, that doesn't mean that it hasn't a soul, as long it is created with passion. And let me say it, I didn't like Netta's song. I liked it for a couple of hours and then I got tired of it. But I would never call it a fast-food song considering that Netta is a great artist and the amount of criativity that she has. Btw, i like Salvador's work, despite his personality ahah, and i apreciate that kind of music better (sorry, it is my taste), but i never agreed with his speach on the final, if he meant in that way, of course. Music, the same way human beings, comes in diferents ways. And for each way there will be at least one person who will love that type of music, and for me it is enough :) bye
p.s. i cannot wait for 2019 yay!!!
I love the idea of this episode thank you again!
Actually Sweden was fast food music and Australia was just a horror show as far as I am concerned. Had it been down to me to decide I wouldn't have any of them in the final. But I totally agree that Finland, Ukraine and Italy were robbed ( Italy and Ukraine by juries and Finland by... practically everyone)!
As a portuguese and because here we see more intervews with Salvador, I can say that he is a very genuine person and he doesen't say the right thing, he say what he thinks about it. He was just making their point about Neta's song and I think that if more persons was genuine like him we make a better place because we would not have to pretend to have an opinion that was not our true opinion only to our point appear correct for society.
That's just my opinion... Thanks.
the really crime was the saging of Spain, alfred and amaia were great and the song is amazing.... so...
YAS DEBAN AND WILLIAM. LIVING FOR YOUR VIDEOS. WE NEED MORE. THIS PED IS REAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!
Ukraine deserved more...❤🇺🇦
Yes
SOOOOOO GREECE.... ISNT THAT A CRIME????????? ARE U KIDDING????? OK....
My biggest crime is that Bulgaria only finished 14th and didn't get a single 12 points in jury and televote.
Bulgaria got 12 from the Cypriot televote but it's still a shame
They were horrible actually.
The moment when salvador handed the trophy over, that was awkward to watch 😂
Bulgaria not getting higher is a crime in my book. Well one of them.
'Stripped - Christina Aguilera style' 😂
In terms of the results, the biggest crime for me was Finland coming 25th 😔 🇫🇮 And also Bulgaria and France getting such average results in the Grand Final, they all deserved at least Top 10 results in my opinion!
Organisation-wise, the biggest crime was the EuroVillage on Grand Final night - we queued for 4 hours both to get in and to get a drink in the scorching sun, it was horrific!
P.s sorry y'all I know you love him but Salvador is SUCH a snob 😂 One of my highlights was seeing him have to hand the trophy to Netta haa, fast food all day long! 👏
You took my words out of the mouth :))
*The random music blows my mind*
lol, what random music?
@@Wiwibloggs 4:10
Regarding Salvador, there’s a difference between being honest and disrespectful. His comments about Netta’s song and especially his speech after winning in Kyiv show that he has little to no respect for any style of music other than what he considers ‘real’ music. Eurovision is about inclusion, it’s an event where every genre of music is welcome and celebrated, and his nonchalant attitude after winning (when he almost dropped the trophy, for example) and bashing ‘fast food music’ was quite disrespectful.
Keep your Netta, I'd rather have 100 bad-mouth Salvador(es) who can actually sing.
His comments about Netta's song were that he thought it was a horrible song. That's it. It's something you can either agree or disagree with. Simples!
And I agree btw
"there’s a difference between being honest and disrespectful" - THIS!!!. I love Salvador, I really do, but couldn't agree more. He can speak his mind and respect the others, it's not that difficult.
If it's about the ESC, your channel is the one we can count on.
Thank you William, Deban and the team.
This year, people seemed to want the bright, fun, up-tempo songs which portrayed as the result of Finland's, Georgia's, Armenia's, Ukraine's, Portugal's, etc
Note: I still disagree with Salvador's comments on those what he called the fast food music. Taste is personal thing, and bad criticizing of any contestant's songs by interviewing is not good thing to do. Silence is a gold if you dislike especially you are a public figure.
I agree with the number two crime.
They will need to triple their security for future competitions by tasing a stage invader before they even get on the stage and to be automatically sentenced to six months in local jail.
Love you ❤from🇦🇿
Love you Bakuuuuu
Who else is still crying about Saara??? 😭😭😭
Meeee
Nathan Constable I already cried an ocean.
Spain could have been last (for me)... #Easy
Oh my... I didn't know Aysel's husband had died of cancer😥But now when you mentioned it, I think she should have made a connection with it in her music video, so more people would understand the true meaning of the song
my top3 crimes:
3) Albania missing out on that top10 spot
2) Macedonian staging
1) Switzerland not qualifying
The megaphone! 😂
Pintofmilk It sounds like Chikilicuatre's guitar XD
... Switzerland?
GREECE 😢
True, many people couldn't vote here in Italy (me included) however Romania still got our 1st place in the televote, thank god since I love the song! :D
FINALLY I CAN SAY, YES WE GOTTA THIS VIDEO, AND IT'S OK, HERE I AAAAAAAAAAM😂😍😍😍
YAY! It's here to stay!
Wiwi never lies! 😂
Rick Janssen OH JESUS YOU GOT IT RIGHT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wiwi never lies, never hides, never giiiives aaaa damn. Wiwi never lies, no they scream: "Let's Do This!!" 🤣🤣
Rick Janssen 😂😂this is pure poetry
Loved Daniela!! Filomena was also amazing!! The other two did well! All four did well!
YES! I love these vids so much👍💓
Finland and Ireland qualifying instead of Switzerland and Greece is a huge crime. Qualifiers like these just make a contest look like a circus.
Biggest crime was when the host mistakenly said in the end of the public vote that Cyprus is in the lead.
France and Bulgaria had to be in the top 10!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO OIOIIIIIII
wiwibloggs where is the eurovision 21 recap
Poor Portugal!! Really robbed real time!
I thought Jon Ola Sand discussed #9 in a video. Every country would receive some amount of votes. It isn't the strict 12, 10, 8-1 points system for the judges/televote. Every country would receive at least 1 point. It would just be weighted differently than in previous years.
Another thing folks.. can we please stop using Petra Mede as a hosting standard! Yes she slayed twice but give these other hosts a break! The ladies were fine, the green room lady was the best of the bunch. I concentrate more on the music, not the hosts.
