@@IndreAr Because the contest cannot be won by only by humour and sarcasm. You have to have a good song, a good performer and a good idea. As your country did in both 2020 and 2021. In the UK, we'll never have our own "The Roop" if the UK only ever wants to make jokes.
I'm annoyed they put Blue in the Hall of Shame lol, cos the song was brilliant and there was nothing wrong with it. It was the UK's best entry in YEARS!
I love how they invited Jemini, Daz Sampson and the likes, put them in the "Hall of Shame" in the same show and they all got along with it smilingly. This would have been deemed rude and probably caused some rage in Germany. That's one of things I always adored about the British, that they are able to laugh about themselves. That being said, I think Scooch and Blue were being robbed, but I am so glad that Sam Ryder took away those tired old excuses of "Europe doesn't like us" and "It's all political" and proved that you just need to send a current artist with a good song to fare well at Eurovision.
Ireland won it 7 times, more than any other country, so technically they are the Kings of Eurovision, not UK. Johnny Logan is also the King of Eurovision winning it twice.
Yeah, but UK have also come second 15 times, while Ireland has only come second four times, and finishing outside of the top 5 was relatively normal for Ireland, unlike the UK who generally finished in the top 5 until twenty years ago
PendulumFTW UK have been in the Eurovision longer than Ireland though. Ireland didn't enter until 1965. And its wins that determines who's been the most successful, not 2nd place.
@@gustafsjoblom6914 Technically speaking, in 1987 he won as both performer and songwriter. Fun fact: he also wrote the 1984 Irish entry "Terminal 3", which finished second and was performed by Linda Martin -- the very same Linda who won 8 years later with Logan's "Why me". 😎🍀🇮🇪
Serbia is the only country in ESC that didnt have a single word in english in their songs. Everything was sung in serbian. And it worked rather well for them
Greetings from Norway. I loved all the Norway rants. Nocturne, Sami Ædnan etc. They were all hilarious!! My favorite one however was the Jan Teigen rant. "Mil etter mil," translates to "bag of shite!!" Not true at all, but either way I fell on the floor dying of laughter. Never expected it, but at the same time very typical British sense of humor.

What about this year's top3?: 3 ballads, one James Bond-ish and one Country (def. not hip-hop) All of them completely dressed All of them in tune All of them in English Neither of them from Eastern Europe 2nd and 3rd about love, 1st song about personal growth, (though pretty much everything else about her was about love and world peace) 1st cause some political uproar, but she handled it well - and it was not part of the song All three of them dressed elegantly, 1st had just more glitter No dancing No gimmick (apart from the beard, but that's just facial hair, so it doesn't count) None trying to be funny I think they all did well and all three of them would have been worthy winners. As an Austrian, I am glad that we finally had an Eurovision entry that was memorable in a different way than Global Kryners, Alf Poier or Trackshittaz.
No gimmick (apart from the beard, but that's just facial hair, so it doesn't count)--> I saw a picture of Conchita as a man,he hasn't got any beard. There is ONE gimmick in the top 3 of this year! *applause*
Ultimate winner! Loreen? FORGOTTEN HER?! I mean the whole stage number combined with all was just magical and beyond anything we have seen in Eurovision! And if Norway was 4th ultimate winner, why shouldn't Loreen get higher? They said Alexander Rybak had a record that was impossible to beat and Loreen was like 16 points away from beating it! Isn't that worth something? Or that we recieved the most 12ths in history, 18 it was. Or the most played song around Europe for a while. It topped the lists! Has the record of clicks on spotify by ESC songs. I mean CANT YOU SEE IT?!
The reason the UK doesn't win Eurovision.... They have: Sam Smith, One direction, Emile Sande, Adele, Leona Lewis, Jessie J etc They send: Electro velvet, Javine, Engelbert
+why are you looking at my username exactly!!! look at what happened in 2009; When they were only past the tenth voting country out of the 42 and Alexander Rybak was already a lot of points ahead of the second place, the following votings were extremely boring and predictable.
1. Linda Martin came 2nd in 1984 with “Terminal 3” 2. Turkish Sertab Erener won in 2003 with rap bridge in her song “Everyway That I Can” 3. Dschingis (Gengis) Chan came 4th in 1979 (which I consider a good result) - besides, it was the band’s name anyway 4. I think they had mentioned “juries didn’t like/think/agree” while referencing early 2000s entries - Eurofans are pretty meticulous about these sort of mistakes, especially when it comes to voting rules, mixing years when televote decided the winner with the juries driven years could be one of the biggest crime for hardcore Eurofans
What’s so irritating to me with the uk in eurovision the last few decades is that they look down on the contest and are quite offensive about other countries’ cultures and music traditions. But they simultaneously want to win really badly, but choose the corniest songs without the cheekiness or cleverness that makes a esc winner. And when they don’t win every single year they blame everything on politics and question the ones who’ve done well instead of making an actual effort. Just stop.
To be fair, Slovenia's entry from that year got 4th place in the jury but the televoters pushed them down to 22nd, finishing 13th overall, so don't act like the juries have all the power. And in my opinion, Slovenia was far better than Blue

Its now January 2nd 2019 so Happy New Year 2019. Now to my point. I dont know how you select your song and act in the UK, but here is how we do it in Sweden. You know Sweden that has won Eurovision 7 times. In 2019 we going to have 4 qualifying rounds in 4 different citys. In every qualifying round there are 2 acts going directly to the final and 2 acts to 2nd chance. After the 4th qualifying we have 8 acts already in the final and 8 acts that will battle it out in a 2nd chance and only 2 will make it to the final. That way hopefully we have the 10 best acts and songs in the final. This year it all starts in Gothenburg February 2nd and ens with the final in Stockholm on March 9.
Rickard Sutej no I don't know Sweden who have won it 7 times, because you haven't won it 7 times you've won it 6. And we to have a public vote and the only reason we don't have a similar layout to melodi festivalen is because there isn't a big enough following over here and the BBC wouldn't fund it. You've won it once more than we have so calm down and stop acting like you're the only country ever to won because last time I checked Ireland has you beat in the number of wins as they actually have won it 7 times.
It's funny how they put Germany's Wadde Hadde Du De Da? in the "What to avoid" section... because Stefan Raab successfully trolled the ESC. That was his goal and he reached it. xD Even Top 10.
Fun fact about Austria in 2012 with Trakshittaz, they won over Conchita Wurst that year with 3 percent more. Conchita sung "That's What I Am" at the preselection. :P
As a German, I feel for the Brits because God knows, we've sent some pretty questionable stuff to the ESC in the last 15 years as well 😀. I think the UK is at a disadvantage since there is no language rule anymore. Obviously English is the world language, but since the participating countries no longer have to sing in their national languages, this has become an advantage for many, because the songs are much more likely to be understood linguistically. To sum up, with a few exceptions, the UK simply hasn't made it onto the map since Jemini, but I think partly rightly so: Daz Sampson, Scooch, Josh Dubovie and Electro Velvet didn't need to be. Sorry, you should know better that rap from Manchester, Eurotrash and Stock Aitken Waterman pop are no longer relevant in the modern Eurovision era. Engelbert and Bonnie Tyler came across as pure acts of desperation to me, although Engelbert had a lovely song, in my opinion. Andy Abraham, Blue and Molly were okay and Jade even better, but I don't remember much about the rest. Like the Germans, the Brits just need to get back to their roots and present something authentic and well-crafted.
They forgot to mention that for the 'topics to avoid' that Terminal 3 came second and the singer Linda Martin ended up winning in on her second try in 1992.
16:13 That was indeed an crazy plan. because most countries didn't use an Jury that year Only Albania and Monaco used it because there could not produce an valid Televote.
Thank God Austria has recovered from the performances in 2003, 2005 and 2012 Design. After the Trakshittaz what has especially anything to do with tractors, I thought, "Ok, we will never recover." Udo Jürgens success in 1966 will remain our only. And well, everything after 2014 is known as a miracle.
Why can't we just the Japanese or South Korea to help us? I mean, look at any music video of JPOP and KPOP. They're out of this world, fun to watch and some are cheesy to watch (sorry, I love both JPOP and KPOP and it my guilty pressure of all time)
The commentator doesn't seem to have any idea of 'joiku' or 'juigos', the ethnical song tradition of Lapland which consists of repetition of meaningless syllables. The same goes for the hosts. And I don't like the way the make fun of it. 1:07:07
They should just sing: ''Voooooooooote fooooooooor this soooooooong if you waaaaaant world peace, ignoooooooooore for lots of waaaaaaars'' like on Facebook. Make it a ballad. Add fireworks. Have it perform last. Instant winner.
denalihedgehog But any other country who means it... because when Russia does it everyone's like "bullshit. You don't want that." But 2015 they came close :D
You have to be honest before Austria won in 2014 the country's last win was in the 60s (I think) what I'm trying to say Austria hadn't won for ages and I don't think they complained.
This unfortunately sums up, what's wrong with the UK in Eurovision - they think everyone but them sucks... the reason they've been down is they can't pull anything completely. Either it's the song, or the singer, or the performance.
UK just keeps sending crappy songs to Eurovision and then complains nobody likes them!

Fredi and friends made me choke... greetings from Finland!
I don't get why the guide says to avoid singing about pirates. It got Latvia to 12th place, and they've come last in the semi-finals 3 times
Fun fact about Austria in 2012 with Trakshittaz, they won over Conchita Wurst that year with 3 percent more. Conchita sung "That's What I Am" at the preselection. :P
As a German, I feel for the Brits because God knows, we've sent some pretty questionable stuff to the ESC in the last 15 years as well 😀. I think the UK is at a disadvantage since there is no language rule anymore. Obviously English is the world language, but since the participating countries no longer have to sing in their national languages, this has become an advantage for many, because the songs are much more likely to be understood linguistically. To sum up, with a few exceptions, the UK simply hasn't made it onto the map since Jemini, but I think partly rightly so: Daz Sampson, Scooch, Josh Dubovie and Electro Velvet didn't need to be. Sorry, you should know better that rap from Manchester, Eurotrash and Stock Aitken Waterman pop are no longer relevant in the modern Eurovision era. Engelbert and Bonnie Tyler came across as pure acts of desperation to me, although Engelbert had a lovely song, in my opinion. Andy Abraham, Blue and Molly were okay and Jade even better, but I don't remember much about the rest. Like the Germans, the Brits just need to get back to their roots and present something authentic and well-crafted.
52:43 Dizzee Rascal? Are you kidding? Did we not just go over Eurovision and rap being a terrible idea?
Loved it. Russel Cain - excellent stuff.
We should send McFly, The Vamps, Take That, Robbie Williams. People like that who are successful in Europe and even America
And steps
Anthony Barratt steps would be elite
They forgot to mention that for the 'topics to avoid' that Terminal 3 came second and the singer Linda Martin ended up winning in on her second try in 1992.
48:10-48:15 They are saying Laila Laila la, Laila Laila meaning every night. Not just La La La La La
Is that Celine Dion in the Swiss flag?
Yeah, she represented Switzerland in Eurovision 1988.
And she wasn't the only Canadian to represent Switzerland. There was also Annie Cotton in 1993
1:41 Lindsay Dracass was incredible thank you very much!
Swap Blue with Andy Abraham! (The Hall of Shame)
What wrong with Andy Abraham, he had a good song even if but i did hear that was Armature.
@@Dim4323 I think it was the Bloc Voting that was to blame.
Thanks for this video. so hilarious.
We wre placed 3rd last in the juries but in the televote we placed below Sweden with about 198 points
Jemini actually had their microphone going out every time they sang a good part! They would have got a point!
16:13 That was indeed an crazy plan.
because most countries didn't use an Jury that year
Only Albania and Monaco used it because there could not produce an valid Televote.
They should have mentioned Silvia Night and her fake tantrum. That was hilarious.
Pall Oskar's "Minn Hinsti Dans" (at 1:42:45) is one of my favourites still
Lithuania
Also Josh James released a UA-cam called Weth and selth doubt he explained it was Lamb to the slaughter
Ehm, Nelson at the battle of Waterloo??? 4:44
Olly alexander is now in hall of shame
The UK needs to stop moaning and whingeing that everyone hates them. Nobody hates you, send some decent songs and you'll get votes. Simple as that...
Little did they know, it gets worse...
At 48, on creative La La La"'s, Norways "Whatever this is" are actual words repeated ;)
All they said was - 'Joining their Scandinavian friend it's Switzerland'
They didn't say it was in Scandinavia
Belgium's acapella was great :P
i just posted my entry to represent UK at the 2015 eurovision. the song is called defy and its on my channel
I looked on your channel and I can't find it. :-(
yes, I was contacted by the bbc introducing for eurovision and I was put down, so I gave up lol.I removed it aha.
If we want to tryout the bloc voting, I might suggest a bloc voting cartel between the UK, Ireland, Australia, and all of the other big 5 countries.
Beautiful video from Italy
Engelbert was ok he wasn't hall of shame worthy
Thank God Austria has recovered from the performances in 2003, 2005 and 2012 Design. After the Trakshittaz what has especially anything to do with tractors, I thought, "Ok, we will never recover." Udo Jürgens success in 1966 will remain our only. And well, everything after 2014 is known as a miracle.
Why can't we just the Japanese or South Korea to help us? I mean, look at any music video of JPOP and KPOP. They're out of this world, fun to watch and some are cheesy to watch (sorry, I love both JPOP and KPOP and it my guilty pressure of all time)
guilty pleasure for me as well :3
CheeseWithToastOn lmao big mood😂
Similarly, the Bosnian song with the pile of washing came 10th, and Terminal 3 was the runner up
Azucar moreno was amazing... ok?
Thanks for uploading the best 2 hours of my life :)
The juries fucked us over in 2011, if you break down the scores we were 5th in televoting and 22ND IN THE JURY VOTE!! WHAT THE HELL
26:06 can a real eurofan out there tell which country and year this was lol?
Euro-African Thats the one I was wondering about too!
Euro-African - Croatia 1995/96, if I'm not mistaken.
The commentator doesn't seem to have any idea of 'joiku' or 'juigos', the ethnical song tradition of Lapland which consists of repetition of meaningless syllables. The same goes for the hosts. And I don't like the way the make fun of it. 1:07:07
+plaaperi Yeh it is quite ignorant :/
I thought this video was privatized thanks to that thumbnail...
48:24 Tippi-tii means "chirpy-chirp" in Finnish
They should just sing: ''Voooooooooote fooooooooor this soooooooong if you waaaaaant world peace, ignoooooooooore for lots of waaaaaaars'' like on Facebook. Make it a ballad. Add fireworks. Have it perform last. Instant winner.
+Minnie Halfswinger Russia did that last three years - it didn't help =)
denalihedgehog But any other country who means it... because when Russia does it everyone's like "bullshit. You don't want that." But 2015 they came close :D
***** Hungary did that last year. too. Still no help
denalihedgehog I said we need fireworks and have it perform close to last.
***** no peace songs this year :(
i think sending Daz Sampson was the worst decision we ever made, he was sooo arrogant and no wonder we lost that year :/
+henry riley What about Electro Velvet?
You have to be honest before Austria won in 2014 the country's last win was in the 60s (I think) what I'm trying to say Austria hadn't won for ages and I don't think they complained.
This unfortunately sums up, what's wrong with the UK in Eurovision - they think everyone but them sucks... the reason they've been down is they can't pull anything completely. Either it's the song, or the singer, or the performance.
