UK with Sam Ryder brought quality (vocals, staging and song) back to the ESC. The UK should be very proud and keep that in mind when they will select their singer/song for the ESC 2023.
Sam Ryder is the same surprise this year as Maneskin last year on the Eurovision competition for me. I'm already his fan! His voice and interpretation are impressive...
So proud of Sam, usually am abit embarrassed about supporting the uk on this comp because we normally don’t get many votes😂😂 but sam you absolutely smashed it hopefully he gets it number 1 🤞🤞
I'm pretty certain that without the current sad circumstances, this lovely and uplifting (no pun intended) song, ridiculously excellent singer and wonderful performance would have led to the UK finally achieving its first win in 25 years. However, congratulations to Sam Ryder on maintaining the good old UK tradition of coming second! Despite less than stellar results over most of the past two decades, the UK still holds the record for most second places and Sam has just added to that. Ireland, despite not even qualifying for the final numerous times in recent years including, unexpectedly, this year, still holds the record for most wins.
In a sense he did win, because to be fair Ukraine was being supported by almost every country because of the situation they're in. If that hadn't been the case it's perfectly possibly would have been first. I have no problem with that myself, Ukraine's song was good and they do need so much support.
Ukraine’s song improves more when you know what it’s about. It’s like an ode to mothers, a lot of respect for the women that gave the singers life. Before that, it can also feel a bit of an odd choice to win even with the situation.
@@hkazu63 It was made known from the very start that Ukraine's song was about the singer's mother. That doesn't make for a winning song. There have been many songs dedicated to mothers in the history of music far better than this one, and some of them have even been Eurovision songs in previous years but they did diddly all in the results. It was the situation and the situation alone that led to Ukraine winning. I mean, come on! They got 12 points from the public in all but t countries. No other country has ever achieved that. Not even Sweden in 2012 that still has the record for most 12 points overall or Italy in 2015 that, until ridiculously broken by this year's sympathy vote, held the record for public votes with 95%. 'Stefania' is a pleasant song but if you seriously think that people voted for it because they were overcome with emotion for their mothers, you really need to get out more. Many have suggested that without the current situation, Ukraine would have struggled to even qualify for the final with that song because of its monotonous repetitiveness and dated rap. I think that's unfair. It's a nice song and would have probably made top 10 in normal circumstances. However, the fact remains that Ukraine could have entered three minutes of coughing this year and still won. As a German/French, please do not insult this excellent song, wonderful performer and exceptional singer from the UK by suggesting that Ukraine won because of their song and performance. The idea of the song was lovely but the song was monotonous, the rap needless and idiotic and the rapper beyond annoying. Ukraine should have had the good grace to withdraw from this year's contest. The Eurovision Committee asked it to in order not to make a mockery of the contest but it refused to. Aside from the UK's actual real winner, shout-outs to Spain (like the UK, its best result in decades), Sweden, Serbia and others who ended up there or thereabouts and all put forward potentially winning songs and performances.
I respectfully disagree. I watched Vidbir & Stefania was my winning song. I was disappointed when Alina Pash was chosen initially & delighted when she withdrew. I normally don't like rap but this rap was good, imo, with a great deal of percussive elements which made it interesting for those of us who don't speak Ukrainian. I also have a very soft spot for sings which include a lot of ethnic elements. Ukraine's entry had everything I want. The top 3 songs for me this year were Ukraine, UK & France, with Spain a very close 4th. Before the final, I'd put the UK a little lower, 5th place, but that guitar solo elevated it so much.
Thanks for the amazing reaction. @SamRyderMusic gave the most stellar performance. The UK has been in such a slump, only coming top 10 three times in this century, giving the UK our 16th 2nd place. We love Sam and his positivity. Changing the UK attitude towards Eurovision for the future we hope.
You can hear the crowd singing along. We all know who really won that competition. Well done Sam, you did your country damn proud, your family even prouder.
Have a look at his acoustic version of Tiny Riot, if you haven't already. It's groundbreaking. Maneskin and Sam Ryder is the reason why I keep watching Eurovision. To find new talents. P.S. yes, he is the winner.
Think UK did brilliant given the last 20+ yrs, had it been another year we would have walked it but it was forecast and expected for Ukraine to win given current situation and no one can deny them that but Sam’s still a winner in our eyes….can he come back next year 😉
Sam Ryder restored my faith in the ESC. I'm not young so I know what I'm on about & the last time I really loved a Eurovision song (let alone a UK entry) was Love Shine A Light in 1997. I've now discovered SR & become a bit of a fan. I'm seeing him live in November in London. Can't wait.
It really is a super performance and he has a great stage presence. Even his mad romper suit subtly references UK things like Pearly Kings, Jean Muir and Tudor costume. Brilliant!
Uk is the real winner… the war put ukraine first! Right cause we all stay with ukraine but in terms of this competition the final challenge were for Sam or Chanel
Congrats to UK! 👏 Try reacting also to the Grand winner Ukraine. And Gigi also nj on the show please. Her performance on OneMusicLive, Bakit nga ba mahal kita, Cactus 2&3, Dindi and Dynamite by BTS. She just premiered Michael Jackson x Justin Timberlake, Love never felt so good on her channel hours ago. Sorry, my request is a list lol 😂
Sam Ryder was a winner for me., but Ukraine deserved to get the tv viewers votes for the terrible time the people of Ukraine are going through. Hope they got joy because of winning. 🇬🇧🇺🇦
But Sam Ryder is English, even if he was representing the United Kingdom. He is both British and English, but that's cool. Just like British and Scottish, British and Welsh and British and Northern Irish. They are all cool things to be.
@@Daniel-to3pt I suppose so. Personally, I only feel that I am a citizen of the UK for official purposes, on forms and things. In my heart I am British (and Scottish) and very happily both those things.
NJ sir is there any reason that you u r not taking my request? I highly recommend you to react on sanchit solo dance performance on full song video/ 🔥🔥 bezubaan phir se from super dancer 4
'Sympathy vote' doesn't really capture the spirit of Ukraine's win. It was a statement of solidarity and support; a symbolic victory for a nation fighting for its very existence. Europe chose an anthem.

That was Sam Ryder and that was EPIC.

After years of the Uk propping up the scoreboard, Sam’s performance made me tearful with pride.
Obsessed love Sam 🇬🇧❤️

Sam Ryder was the real winner. He was a super star that night! ❤❤

love the "Oh yeah ah ah aha a haye " 3:53
Sam blew it with such a song and performance!
So good to see the UK and Spain back on the winning Eurovisión row!!
I suggest you check out the video of Sam singing the live acoustic version of his song "Tiny Riot".
GOOSEBUMPS all over my body!1 it's just THAT good
Uk is the real winner… the war put ukraine first! Right cause we all stay with ukraine but in terms of this competition the final challenge were for Sam or Chanel

Fantastic British performance! 🎉
His Tiny Riot is unbeleivable!
By heck! he's go a big gob!

This is a Song Contest not a Charity, let s be clear, Eurovision is about music!!!
I’m surprised it’s the best English performance as well considering England weren’t performing 😂
Typical anglocentric goober
Please listen to his original music he’s amazing. More live at Q&A and Tiny Riot acoustic at York Hall are 👌🏻👌🏻
It's a british performance not english 😊
But Sam Ryder is English, even if he was representing the United Kingdom. He is both British and English, but that's cool. Just like British and Scottish, British and Welsh and British and Northern Irish. They are all cool things to be.
@@simonjones7727 hes British representing the united kingdom. England isnt in eurovision
@@Daniel-to3pt I suppose so. Personally, I only feel that I am a citizen of the UK for official purposes, on forms and things. In my heart I am British (and Scottish) and very happily both those things.
I think United Kingdom can beat the record of Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest for the next year's Eurovision Song Contest
NJ sir is there any reason that you u r not taking my request? I highly recommend you to react on sanchit solo dance performance on full song video/ 🔥🔥 bezubaan phir se from super dancer 4
Hey, NJ, just a heads up, ATEEZ is back with "Rocky", I would want you to react to it. Thank you so much!
I think you mean British performance!!
And Sam would have won here, if not for the crap currently happening within Ukraine !
But given that crap is happening in Ukraine, it was important that they won. no-one was more pleased for them than Sam himself.
Ukraine won on sympathy votes so Sam really was the winner. Great reaction.
'Sympathy vote' doesn't really capture the spirit of Ukraine's win. It was a statement of solidarity and support; a symbolic victory for a nation fighting for its very existence. Europe chose an anthem.
@@Ozymandi_as Solidarity can be shown in too many differents ways. This way was so wrong on too many levels.
UK performance, not English
Why can't I find the original video? I only see crappy audience recordings. 😭
Biggest robbery in history
