Watching this 2 years later, I am still very proud that he won by sheer beauty. No fancily dressed people on the background, no flashy effects. Just him, the piano and his voice.
@@blacklight9106he’s probably talking about in the winner’s performance a bunch of ppl came on to stage with him. Which was his team, not backing singers. This man masterclassed Eurovision without going way overboard with theatrics or costumes as they sometimes do
Could we please appreciate Duncan's back vocalists? Many performances in the Eurovision history were destroyed by loud or off key back vocals and here they sound like the choir of angels, perfectly chosen people, well done!
When Duncan won Eurovision, I was at my sister's, watching it with her. We were cheering so much when he won. The only tv programme we could ever both agree on was Eurovision. This night is one of my favourite memories. My sister was already ill with cancer - and it was the last time I saw her in person. She passed away 10 months later, at the start of Covid.
@@philthec8835 which is even more impressive. if anything, it proves that he can sing even better live, with improved vocal dynamics. whether you prefer the recorded or the live version is a matter of opinion
@@politemenace5781 Exactly, and for those changes, I prefer the studio version to the live version. But that doesn't mean it was bad. I still think he deserved to win with that song and great voice
@@alincristea4459 This is a very touching and meaningful song. Nocturne is very beautiful and even the operasinger of Estonia a few years ago but this has so much meaning and is so regognizable for so many broken hearts.
euphoria was sh.t why do people even like it? i mean look at eurovision; we could be the same, fairytale, arcade but why even euphoria idk its bad af for me
Imagine opening up Eurovision 2021 with this song. "A broken heart is all that's left I'm still fixing all the cracks." This song got such a bigger meaning.
You know a song is good when it is still popular and surging through the official chart 2 years on. Probably the best Eurovision winner of recent times due to this. Incredibly memorable. Duncan sits 33rd this week!
@alpinedog xx Eliot's song is a disaster in live , even tho its ok in studio version and the staging was bad , hooverphonic came up with a decent song but idk this would got massive appeal since most of the 2020 are pretty strong and belgium still in the "Bondy" theme for a while now , Sennek has a great song yet again the staging was bad , But i love Blanche and Laura ... But hey thats just my opinion , i love Belgium , they tend to sent goods songs and i aggree that they need to win at least once alongside bulgaria

Netherlands this year is much better, it’s unique and in Dutch. This song didn’t deserve to win in my opinion. North Macedonia (jury winner) and Norway (televote winner) were far better. But it is what it is and usually the Eurovision winner isn’t the best or most successful song, it’s more about performing than winning really.

In January 2020 my Grandma died. I cried a lot. School was the worst. I don't wanted to do anything. But then I remembered this. And I heard this song. Every day a thousand times. And now I just think, that she's there. I can't see her, but she sits right next to me. I love her. And this song helped me, to be happy animore, one month, than corona and 3 months more. And now I'm happy animore. Thank you Nederlands. For this masterpiece, helped me to find myself, my happy me ❤️
floggerfrog i guess its seen different out from peoples perspectives so for me it wasn’t rlly my style. I’m more of the person to like hatrið min sigra ;-;
When I heard this song for the first time I immediately had a feeling he will be a winner 🥹 What an amazing masterpiece, gives me goosebumps everytime I listen
Yeah, i mean, for exapmle the chicken in 2018 thatjsut won because lyrics talked about womsn power... Oe conchita wurst who just won because was a transexual( in My opinión hunter of stats from sebalter was way better)
What's so LOL in this. This is strictly just an average song. Maybe the folks who broke their heart recently or cannot get the one they love can connect to this song. There are literally thousands of Indian songs which you haven't heard yet. EDIT: For those who don't care, grow up!
While it's great, I wouldn't say deserved. He didn't win the jury OR the televote, even after vote fixes. Jury -> Sweden (before vote fix) and North Macedonia (after vote fix) Televote -> Norway. He was great, but he didn't win either of the votes yet wins overall which is annoying IMO.
@@dp6740 I'd have to disagree. I think Salvador is my most hated winner of all time and I have no clue what was so good about him. I didn't think he deserved to even qualify or come close to it. It was really boring and I felt nothing from it personally.
another estonian here thinking the same thing. absolutely stunning and faultless. I keep coming back to this performance. congratulations again, netherlands. you should be proud for having won with such an ethereal masterpiece :)
Iceland should've won, it would be the perfect irony for the sugar-coated bland pop we get on Eurovisions. This is ok but songs like this exist in thousands imo
@@franlovelsimic8421 Iceland was garbage lol I thought it was a joke to even be there. What's up with that guy weird voice from iceland lmao. Also written in a language no one knows... Not a great idea.
This was by far the best song that year! I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. The Netherlands deserved to win! Love from your neighbours Germany ❤️🇩🇪
It is all a matter of opinion and ultimately this song won so there were very many people who agreed with you. I do not. I believe Italy's entry Soldi was by far the best song and Mahmoud easily the best performer. There are vastly more people who have viewed Italy's entry then this song so that alone tells you everything you need to know.
@@peterjeffreybaines6660 cause UA-cam views = better music of course. What was the first video to reach 1 billion views again..? Must've been the greatest and best song in the world.

@@e.y5702 why not? amar delos pois was a classic due to the fact that the singer used their native language to represent their country. thats wat the eurovision really is
Are you talking about Brazil? Because Americans from US think that America is only US, when in fact America is a continent (the USA is just a country). I'm Brazilian and unfortunately few people here know Eurovision. I'm completely in love with this contest since 2012, I always discover amazing artists, languages and cultures and seeing the mobilization that the contest causes in the population is so, so beautiful. Now Americans from US are thinking about the idea of an America Song Contest (very similar to ESC), but if it happens, it will be only the US in it (states competing against each other, rather than countries), and I think it's absolutely ridiculous. If something similar to ESC is to be done, let it be with the entire continent (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, etc) and not just the US states (this proposal doesn't even make sense). I'm really sad to know about it, because when I saw Australia and Israel in other editions, I thought: why can't Brazil participate, too? Because the country is affiliated to EBU, too. I know that people here probably wouldn't give it much importance (and that there are other things besides the ones I mentioned in it) but a good publicity on social medias would help hahah. This is just an outburst from a woman who really loves Eurovision, and singing and music, and who would like her country to have something similar or could participate as Australia/Israel (I know Australia has been following the contest for much longer). I was extremely happy with Maneskin's victory this year, I've been following them since 2018 (and none of my friends know them, so sad :/ ), I'm delighted to see that now they can reach other countries and continents, they deserve the world (just like so many other artists that I met through Eurovision). I apologize if I may have offended someone with this text, it wasn't my intention. Lots of love from Brazil to this contest!
@@CelloLover4100 I meant that because communism is about the group ("us", so to speak) and the USA have that in their name. But if you take the US away, it's just "America", which is what the USA seem to think they are.
@@Guitar_Lab Oh sorry lmao it's just a coincidence that you posted that comment 2 years and 4 days after the release of the song. You said "is" and not "will be" so it confused me.
Soldi was amazing, but this is just on another level. Beautiful voice, beautiful beat, beautiful lyrics, a perfect 10/10. If I’m not mistaking this is the most streamed Eurovision song on Spotify, and it so for a reason
I made a bet with my friends. They were like, this song will not win. It will be last. It is not commercial enough. Well, sometimes, it is the most worthy song that wins. Congratulations Netherlands.
This song is totally not like the most streamed Eurovision song ever with 300.000.000+ streams and still growing after two years. Nah, this song won't last.
@@JayJayGamerOfficial the Australian songs though! That guest appearance by Guy Sebastian and than Dami Im were some of the best songs in the ESC in the last couple of years! They kept stuck in my head for quite a while!
He deserved this win!!!He bought so much emotion and he doesn’t even have any backup singers or dancers it is just him and his piano.I’m proud of Netherlands and I’m grateful that Eurovision let this masterpiece win
well mahmood had all of europe clapping whenever they heard to word soldi... there were a lot of videos uf people in diffrent cities screaming soldi soldi and a ton of people reactet with the clap of the song.
@@GGreco-cm9dq I was definitely one of the ppl clapping xD I still listen to Soldi to this day, I just don't understand why people say this is a bad song you know. But I guess everyone has a different taste in music..
@@rom.5082 I don't think that people say it's bad. It is just not as good as soldi. I mean his voice is fantastic and i love this song. But for me Soldi should have won... the funny part is, most people belive that soldi won and totaly forgot about this song (tiktok revived it now)
I'm not a fan of the Eurovision to be honest, however, this is one of the most lyrically in-genius and most perfectly produced songs in Eurovision history. Absolutely incredible....

In January 2020 my Grandma died. I cried a lot. School was the worst. I don't wanted to do anything. But then I remembered this. And I heard this song. Every day a thousand times. And now I just think, that she's there. I can't see her, but she sits right next to me. I love her. And this song helped me, to be happy animore, one month, than corona and 3 months more. And now I'm happy animore. Thank you Nederlands. For this masterpiece, helped me to find myself, my happy me ❤️
i'm so proud of you. You are strong. I'm just so happy that you can overcome it. I hope you will be happy and strong everytime in your life❤

He don’t need epic lights, effects and fire. No busy music. He only needs his talent.
if I see one more comment like this I am going to commit not live
The lights are epic here too
Beautiful song❤💯❤
So true
Salvador Sobral once said music isn't about fireworks is about feelings. This song truly is amazing.
I just realized...
*This legend was born in my home town*
Zelfde hier ben echt blij
Same
Congrats man, you might become a legend some day too
Wow..
Well if he is your neighbor......
IM JEALOUS
So nice of him letting Eurovision be held at his concert
Almost a year and this song still gives me chills
Same, im obsessed with watching eurovision rn.
this, and 2017's winner
floggerfrog I didn’t like the winner of 2017.... ;-;
@@missaesthetic9125 imo i like it, so sweet and smooth, plus pitch perfect performance and the song is wholesome too
floggerfrog i guess its seen different out from peoples perspectives so for me it wasn’t rlly my style. I’m more of the person to like hatrið min sigra ;-;
That moment when you aren't even Dutch, but supported Duncan a lot. Wonderful song and talented guy. So happy that he won and made his nation proud
who listens in 2021?
I😂
☝🏻
Its epicccc
I
Ja
When I heard this song for the first time I immediately had a feeling he will be a winner 🥹 What an amazing masterpiece, gives me goosebumps everytime I listen
Me too
Finally a singer that deserved to win won rather than a flashy song with a big dance routine
What about the Portuguese fella?
Tbh the swedish one was actually pretty good imo
The people voted for soldi but the judges voted for him. Mahmood was the only one who didn't sing in English he deserved the win
I agree
Yeah, i mean, for exapmle the chicken in 2018 thatjsut won because lyrics talked about womsn power... Oe conchita wurst who just won because was a transexual( in My opinión hunter of stats from sebalter was way better)
So Americans have discovered this song after 2 years, on tiktok? LOL
Nooooo😈😈😈
I’m peruvian, and yes, it’s a perfect song, loveit!!!!!
@@josselyndg2 now it's perfect time to intresed in eurovision in general :)
What's so LOL in this. This is strictly just an average song. Maybe the folks who broke their heart recently or cannot get the one they love can connect to this song. There are literally thousands of Indian songs which you haven't heard yet.
EDIT: For those who don't care, grow up!
@@edwardspencer9397 nobody cares
I still remember the look on the Swedish guy's face when the final points were given
yeeeeeeeeeeahhhh, so upset(((
I kinda felt bad
😅
You can pinpoint the exact moment his eurovision dream broke.
You saw it in his face :((
Listening in 2024, feels as good as in 2019
One of the most deserved winner in ESC history.
Portugal 2017
@@dp6740 I wish Bulgaria won :(
I wish Norway won :/ it won most points from the people
While it's great, I wouldn't say deserved.
He didn't win the jury OR the televote, even after vote fixes.
Jury -> Sweden (before vote fix) and North Macedonia (after vote fix)
Televote -> Norway.
He was great, but he didn't win either of the votes yet wins overall which is annoying IMO.
@@dp6740 I'd have to disagree. I think Salvador is my most hated winner of all time and I have no clue what was so good about him. I didn't think he deserved to even qualify or come close to it.
It was really boring and I felt nothing from it personally.
2:30 wow that still gives me goosebumps
Sameeee
Wtf, me too, instantly
Sameee! Most powerful moment for me
its amaziiiing perfect light and exploding music
This man has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. Congrats Duncan, congrats Netherlands 👏🏻❤️
Surooka Swan thanks i soo happy that he win 😍
BN_sjaaakie 206 you’re so welcome and you should be happy. This man is insanely talented and I’d definitely be proud if I was from Holland as well ;)
nice performed, but listen "painful love" with cezar ouatu and then you can say one of the great voices of europe
If there was a competition between all Eurovision winners, I would give this song a first place!
This is a well deserved winner from that year, although I do prefer Italy to win. Either way, both this and Italy’s song have a personal story.
I think my fav song of all eurovision would be Norway’s entry in 2009
Music won this year. I'm very happy for The Netherlands. Greeting from Estonia :)
Thanks im nl
thanks....dankje ;)
another estonian here thinking the same thing. absolutely stunning and faultless. I keep coming back to this performance. congratulations again, netherlands. you should be proud for having won with such an ethereal masterpiece :)
Iceland should've won, it would be the perfect irony for the sugar-coated bland pop we get on Eurovisions. This is ok but songs like this exist in thousands imo
@@franlovelsimic8421 Iceland was garbage lol I thought it was a joke to even be there. What's up with that guy weird voice from iceland lmao. Also written in a language no one knows... Not a great idea.
Влюбилась в его голос и песню. До мурашек. Спасибо за прекрасное исполнение)
2:30 this is the moment I knew this was the winning song , this is absolutely beautiful
I told the same 😍👌
Trains this moment gave me goosebumps ! So powerful
Yeh that is the moment I really got goosebumps :D
Me too! I love it when he looks like an angel with his hands as wings and when he nods his head back to the rhythm!
What about 2.43 ??? That's even better, like a finaly
Wow 5 years later still one of my fav songs ever ❤️ . His voice is mesmerising and the way he looks at the camera ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1st time listening: Why did this win??
2nd time: not bad
3rd time: AHHHHHHAHHHHHHOHHHHHHOOOOOHHHHHH
Same
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah 1st time for me gave me goosebumps and had me singing it all day 🙌🏻
@karmasdoor loving you is a losing game..
Same
This was by far the best song that year! I still get goosebumps when I listen to it. The Netherlands deserved to win! Love from your neighbours Germany ❤️🇩🇪
Lol i still listen to this every day. I'm from the Netherlands and i love Germany. Love from Amsterdam ❤️❤️
It is all a matter of opinion and ultimately this song won so there were very many people who agreed with you. I do not. I believe Italy's entry Soldi was by far the best song and Mahmoud easily the best performer. There are vastly more people who have viewed Italy's entry then this song so that alone tells you everything you need to know.
@@peterjeffreybaines6660 cause UA-cam views = better music of course. What was the first video to reach 1 billion views again..? Must've been the greatest and best song in the world.
This song is so addictive. Simplicity and pure beauty.
4 years later still amazing, goosbumbs
5!
Compared to a bullshit 2024 Eurovision winner, this one is a gem.
I'm so happy that The Netherlands won! Congratulations Duncan! Love you from Poland 🇵🇱❤️🇳🇱
MarQ thx (from nl)
*Lyrics*
A broken heart is all that's left
I'm still fixing all the cracks
Lost a couple of pieces when
I carried it, carried it, carried it home
I'm afraid of all I am
My mind feels like a foreign land
Silence ringing inside my head
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home
I spent all of the love I've saved
We were always a losing game
Small-town boy in a big arcade
I got addicted to a losing game
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
How many pennies in the slot
Giving us up, didn't take a lot
I saw the end before it begun
Still I carried, I carried, I carried on
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
I don't need your games, game over
Get me off this roller-coaster
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game

Europians found America 600 years ago, American's still hasn't found Europe
So trueeeeee,tyyy
Are you talking about Brazil? Because Americans from US think that America is only US, when in fact America is a continent (the USA is just a country). I'm Brazilian and unfortunately few people here know Eurovision. I'm completely in love with this contest since 2012, I always discover amazing artists, languages and cultures and seeing the mobilization that the contest causes in the population is so, so beautiful. Now Americans from US are thinking about the idea of an America Song Contest (very similar to ESC), but if it happens, it will be only the US in it (states competing against each other, rather than countries), and I think it's absolutely ridiculous.
If something similar to ESC is to be done, let it be with the entire continent (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, etc) and not just the US states (this proposal doesn't even make sense). I'm really sad to know about it, because when I saw Australia and Israel in other editions, I thought: why can't Brazil participate, too? Because the country is affiliated to EBU, too. I know that people here probably wouldn't give it much importance (and that there are other things besides the ones I mentioned in it) but a good publicity on social medias would help hahah.
This is just an outburst from a woman who really loves Eurovision, and singing and music, and who would like her country to have something similar or could participate as Australia/Israel (I know Australia has been following the contest for much longer). I was extremely happy with Maneskin's victory this year, I've been following them since 2018 (and none of my friends know them, so sad :/ ), I'm delighted to see that now they can reach other countries and continents, they deserve the world (just like so many other artists that I met through Eurovision).
I apologize if I may have offended someone with this text, it wasn't my intention.
Lots of love from Brazil to this contest!
@@CelloLover4100 It's a real shame that the USA took their fight against communism so far they won't even acknowledge the US in their name
@@runtergerutscht4401 I don't understand what you mean. Was this supposed to be an ironic comment?
@@CelloLover4100 I meant that because communism is about the group ("us", so to speak) and the USA have that in their name. But if you take the US away, it's just "America", which is what the USA seem to think they are.
The Greatest song to ever come from Eurovision
Live version 1000 times better than studio version....THATS PURE TALENT..!!
Yes, a lot of artists doing a great studio version, do a lousy live version.
Too right
@@moow950 autotune...
its thanks to Israels accoustic's lol
i dont think it was autotune
I changed the comment so you don't know why it got likes
As impressive, the winner prior was the only artist that won Eurovision that year.
because covid
You counted the run starting from the song release... He won in May therfore it's not 2 years and 8 days
@@garydosgdg7969 No he won in May the 18th while the next winner will be announced in May the 22nd
@@Guitar_Lab Oh sorry lmao it's just a coincidence that you posted that comment 2 years and 4 days after the release of the song. You said "is" and not "will be" so it confused me.
that Eurovision trophy, he carried it, carried it, carried it home!!
Hahaha. Lol
Nice one
Damn!!!
🔥
Soldi was amazing, but this is just on another level. Beautiful voice, beautiful beat, beautiful lyrics, a perfect 10/10. If I’m not mistaking this is the most streamed Eurovision song on Spotify, and it so for a reason
I made a bet with my friends. They were like, this song will not win. It will be last. It is not commercial enough. Well, sometimes, it is the most worthy song that wins. Congratulations Netherlands.
This song is totally not like the most streamed Eurovision song ever with 300.000.000+ streams and still growing after two years. Nah, this song won't last.
I hope you did bet money
Thank you
Bedankt
@Melascula Manson eyy is dat een anime pfp??

@@JayJayGamerOfficial Australia didn't deserve to join. Called EUROvision for a reason.
Yessss
@@JayJayGamerOfficial the Australian songs though! That guest appearance by Guy Sebastian and than Dami Im were some of the best songs in the ESC in the last couple of years! They kept stuck in my head for quite a while!
One of the first time I've actually felt satisfied and agreed with the winning song!
same xD
That's just so true!
Kim Steinbach-Reif the Netherlanda 2014 was better tho...
samee
This time and when Salvador Sobral won!
He deserved this win!!!He bought so much emotion and he doesn’t even have any backup singers or dancers it is just him and his piano.I’m proud of Netherlands and I’m grateful that Eurovision let this masterpiece win
Unlike the past Eurovision where Eurovision didn't let us win..
2 years later and I still don't understand how people say this didn't deserve to win. I always cry like a baby listening to this.
This is the most well earned winner in eurovision...
It Really grew on me! It was beautiful
well mahmood had all of europe clapping whenever they heard to word soldi...
there were a lot of videos uf people in diffrent cities screaming soldi soldi and a ton of people reactet with the clap of the song.
@@GGreco-cm9dq I was definitely one of the ppl clapping xD I still listen to Soldi to this day, I just don't understand why people say this is a bad song you know. But I guess everyone has a different taste in music..
@@rom.5082 I don't think that people say it's bad. It is just not as good as soldi. I mean his voice is fantastic and i love this song. But for me Soldi should have won...

This song is so freaking beautiful oh my gosh
Yeahhh

Italy deserved the 1 place!
I totally agree! Duncan is a true winner!
He and salvador sobra
everyone is going on about not coming from tik tok, i’m just here appreciating this guys beautiful voice
Like what's the point. I never knew about this Eurovision contest. They should be happy that he's getting noticed out here.
