Love this song because of nostalgia and being British, but I think this version has replaced the original as being my favourite. It’s absolutely joyous
On Eurovision nights Australia is Europe so we don’t need a special mention. All the love to all of Europe and keep singing until we can be together again in 2021!
Apparently her cat is called "cat" (in Ukrainian) because its the only thing she responds to. She originally had another name, but it never stuck, so now it's just "kotek"
I think this is lovely. I think Hooverphonic should feel rather ashamed of themselves for not taking part just because they didn't really like the song. This is hardly the kind of thing The Roop, Uno and Go_A would normally sing, but they took part because they understood that it was just a nice video to bring hope and pleasure to people. I think it's really sad that Hooverphonic decided not to participate.
Yes it was extremely petty of them. I don't even really like this song (Dinle should've won imo) but it was still so sweet to see everyone singing together
@@Hetapeep41 You shouldn't feel ashamed, and nobody watching the show would have a negative view of the whole country of Belgium, but that one Belgian group made a bad decision. I'll be honest, I live in the United Kingdom, so I would be expected to love the song 'Love Shine A Light'. I don't love it, but it's not the worst song we have sent to appear the final (which is why we lose every year!) but it was a lovely message to the world and the lyrics fit well in our current virus situation. I really think they made a bad decision and a lot of people have been disappointed in the group as a result. It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to their performance in 2021 since they are confirmed to be taking part in the contest next year.

Drom Assault but nearly all the winning songs are normally sung in English anyway regardless of which country they’re representing. I can only think of a couple from the last 20 years, Serbia 2007 and Portugal 2017, that weren’t in English.
Do you know why Belgium didn't participate? I think Alex (from Hooverphonic) gave some vallid reasons not to... They agreed to take part in the ESC, not some online thing and the song was a bit soggy... If it were for charity he'd put his principles aside... but it wasn't
I think in every Eurovision all participants should sing a song like this, it’s so emotional to see all of them singing together, forgetting the competition and just feeling the music. I hope to see more like this next year in the stage
I just wanna say, as a Belgian boy, that I find it very disappointing that Hooverphonic didn't participate in this wonderful song... It's amazing to see all these countries unite in one big powerhouse and I feel ashamed Belgium isn't part of this. But do remember that this was the choice of the singer-songwriter, not the Belgian folks, and believe me when I say that most Belgium people do shine a light for all of you people out there
Exactly. Alex Callier said "this was a shitty song". He forgot that he was representing Belgium with Hooverphonic and that this was a whole lot more important than his own music preferences. It wouldn't have cost a thing to let Luka sing this song and participate to this, but his ego was too big. If he's ashamed of Eurovision, he should not participate next year.
I experienced more kindness from strangers in Belgium than I have anywhere else in the world. It's a shame your artist didn't take part in this but it's a reflection of that individual, not the nation. See you in 2021!
I'm also from Belgium and we were all disappointed when we noticed this last night. Beautiful show, beautiful message and wonderful people everywhere! Totally agree with Cedric!

To all the artists: Don’t be disappointed that the ESC didn’t take place this year. You were all part of something really special that will be remembered forever in the history of the ESC❤ So be proud! Greetings from Croatia😊
faceless anime girl most wont compete full stop. The rules are they need new songs so most countries won’t pick the same people as this year. Only one country said they will
I was literally in tears a few times during the show. It was so beautiful and heart warming because just of seeing that everyone was getting struck by the virus and that we are in this together. The whole moment where they still kept the positivity and happiness was so emotional to me. So many mixed feels of saddens because of all losses this year and happines because there is hope and that spark of light that feels warm. Hope you all are safe and calm! Love you! 🙏💕
I agree but on the other hand I’m so happy Måneskin got to participate as I turned out to be a fan of their music and had never heard of them before :)
@@orangebear280 little big chose themselves to not participate again for multiple reasons, they were asked to do 2021, but declined that offer, sadly :/
YES, THEY NEED TO DO THAT. I think that would be really important to let everyone know even though this is a contest this would be great to bring people together and make up this amazing content of amazing people PROUD TO BE EUROPEAN AND PROUD TO BE LATVIAN
This is so inspiring! People all over Europe (and Australia of course) united in one song, sharing these amazing emotions. That's what I love so much about Eurovision ❤️
What the F.... k do Australia Israel Azerbaijan do here ???? Why not Argentina and Canada many italian migrants there ___ Eurovision is it not ??? Why things have got to be bigger don't make sense whatsoever
Belgium is NOT in The song Alex from hooferphonic don't like This song. He say on The Belgium tv that's he fond it a crap song. And i understand why he don't sing it.
@@veronickhaesen1622 It is still a tasteless move. He isn't the vocalist so he wouldn't be singing, yet it screws over Luka (assuming she had wanted to take part). Add to it that this is not a song about the individual artists, but about European solidarity during a time of adversity, so now he just looks like a self-centered butthole to anyone who learns of this.
The EBU also managed to do something that Imagine video couldn’t do: everyone is on-key and on-tempo. It’s also unfortunate that Hooverphonic didn’t do it because apparently it didn’t sound like their repertoire. I can guarantee you bands like the Roop, Go_A, and Little Big don’t usually do songs like these, but they’re there
@@Brad7Dad It depends entirely on the performer and their attitude towards their acts and music. If this had happened in 2019, would you picture Hatari taking part in something like this?
Not really, still here, Actually I came her because a read an article about it. I can understand that people are upset about it, but on the other hand every Eurovison needs a good controversy Right? ;-))
@@cassel7898 Nothing happened, only the lead man of Hooverphonic felt it was a sh...ty song. He did not participate and now he is the one that has to take a lot of s... ;-))
Above all it is the Holy Spirit behind, within and from the song that gives hope. This song was originally created for the anniversary of The Samaritans (the original - British - suicide helpline, devised and developed by the Reverend Chad Varah, who felt moved to act when the first funeral he ever officiated at was of a 14-year-old girl frightened into suicide by her first period)
I hope Eurovision 2021 will open up in grand style with "Love Shine a Light" featuring Katrina Leskanich, other singers, flag bearers and a full symphony orchestra. It will sort of pick things up where we left it with "Europe Shine a Light 2020" and will be a memorable moment bringing Europe & Eurovision back together and symbolizing its return from these unsettling times.
This song is so uplifting and simply has to be released. Donate the proceeds to worthy causes and it can become one of the biggest charity records ever.
Coming back to this peaceful song, with all countries united, spreading a message of hope in a very hard context, after the disgrace that was the edition of 2024.
I almost feel guilty that I look back on 2020, a time of such heartbreak for many, with something approaching affection. I wouldn't want to return to those times, but the fact that we were able to stay together, when forced to be apart, really did bring out the best of humanity.
@@stevetayler9518The pandemic (escaped from a lab) is a tragedy and scandal so great that we have blinded ourselves to the truth of it. But millions of us ordinary people did the best we could. The above is the best of the best. The song is a divine one ... designed for another purpose but it has strength; beauty; love and truth ... like everything the Holy Spirit touches...
EBU/Eurovision: Please, re-publish this 2020-version of "Love shine a light" and donate the proceeds to a European Institution supporting the people/nurses who care for COVID-19 people
I thought the representatives for each country did a fantastic job tonight. I can't imagine how disappointed they all must have been. Really supportive messages and this beautiful collaboration to bring Europe together. I hope a lot get to come back to Eurovision in 2021.
One of the most beautiful things I've seen on Eurovision! Singing together instead of competing especially now is one of the most powerful signs of hope.
I'm sorry that my country didn't wanted to share this moment (belgium) But i'm so proud of all the others who made my heart jumped in these dark times They shined their lights and the artists will be in our hearts
I think the refusal of Hooverphonics to participate in this wonderful unifying song disqualifies them to be Belgium’s participant next year. Shameful to bring this attitude when you represent your country. Belgium, the home of the European Union, should select a better participation next year.
MVE the man who started the group, Alex Callier, has a very bad attitude and a big ego, so i personally saw this behaviour from him coming. it’s a shame for the girl Luka in their group cause she’s a really nice girl with so much potential, and he’s kinda ruining her chances
This should be an anthem for the WHO. When this song won, I was doing a virology placement in Germany and was at a Eurovision party with 7 nationalities. The rest of tonights program kept showing my old office when I worked on SARS in Rotterdam. Most of my old life was spent working on projects with WHO. Some national leaders have attacked WHO but their work is getting nations to collaborate on situations like this (or to prevents them from happening). What's to attack? Listen to the song.

That version of the song is the best because every country sang it together and, as anyone knows, everything is better when we are all united!!!❤️❤️❤️ Love from Greece!🥰
This will be a Eurovision show that we will never forget, this pademic proved that in difficult times when we are united and work together we are stronger more than ever❤️❤️ everyone stay safe and healthy, pray for all those that passed away because each one is lost could be one of our family🙏🙏
We are Europe! We can survive everything, we just have to believe in ourselves. Thank you for being the best continent in the world, We're all on big family 💙🇪🇺🇪🇺
How uplifting and heartwarming it is to see and hear this beautiful blend of voices from all over Europe, all the different nationalities, races, religions, sexualities and gender identities joining together in song and reminding us of our common humanity
this is maybe the best thing that came from ESC ever. how everyone (but Hooverphonic) reunite to sing this beautul song with such great massege. everyone were amazing. Honestly, I think it was one of the greatest eurovision cast ever. Glad that some of them return in 2021. sad some won't. Love, health and 120 points for everyone. from Israel.
This song is the winner of Eurovision 2020 and the winners in it are all participants! The case when Eurovision really unites. There is no spirit of competition, but on the contrary, everyone has become even closer to each other.
This is my christmas song no.1 for 2020. My wish is that this song will be played all around the globe and that our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
During these difficult times we are all facing now, this performance is what everybody needed! Looking forward to 2021 already! Everybody earned their right to represent their country fairly and they really deserved to be honored correctly, especially tonight! No matter that many of the songs were not good this year, every single artist is a WINNER!
Not all of the notes are right to the point, not all of them look like supermodels, but all of them are unique people, representing their countries, singing a great song that makes me shiver ... that´s European fellowship 😘
The perfect song to end this show - I cried loads. Eurovision is a magical thing that is very hard to explain - and tonight it really hits home how we are literally all in this together. Bring on 2021
This song marked the last time the UK won Eurovision (1997), and it's been the best song they ever entered, IMO. One of the best winners of all time, in fact.
It's probably no coincidence that the song was NOT written for Eurovision using some formula, focus group or jury, but for the 30th anniversary of a branch of The Samaritans (charity that helps depressed, suicidal and people in mental crisis), hence the positive, upbeat lyrics and tune and the naturalness of the emotion it evokes. It was only entered for Eurovision at the last minute when it was realised what a great song it is.
Меня тоже очень тронуло. Каждый такой индивидуальный ... но вместе звучит круто. Мне показалось, что каждый свою душу отдал и особенно открылся. Мира всему миру, терпения и будьте здоровы.
After this performance we can all agree that “Love Shine A Light” is a first song that won Eurovision Song Contest two times 😊😊😊
Absolutely
Definitely!
Totally agree xxxx
Love this song because of nostalgia and being British, but I think this version has replaced the original as being my favourite.
It’s absolutely joyous
If those before us hadn’t fought, then maybe you and I would have fought. The last century gave us something to look back on and avoid.

2 years on and this is still one of my favourite Eurovision moments. A song that is truly needed now more than ever.
And in essence a religious song...
@@sidpheasant7585 Spiritual 😉
I think in every Eurovision all participants should sing a song like this, it’s so emotional to see all of them singing together, forgetting the competition and just feeling the music. I hope to see more like this next year in the stage
well, Junior Eurovision has done that, even earlier.
Yes I think they must do the same
Like the common song in JESC
I just wanna say, as a Belgian boy, that I find it very disappointing that Hooverphonic didn't participate in this wonderful song... It's amazing to see all these countries unite in one big powerhouse and I feel ashamed Belgium isn't part of this. But do remember that this was the choice of the singer-songwriter, not the Belgian folks, and believe me when I say that most Belgium people do shine a light for all of you people out there
pathetic? The song is absolutely terrible. Alex did well not taking part in this.
Exactly. Alex Callier said "this was a shitty song". He forgot that he was representing Belgium with Hooverphonic and that this was a whole lot more important than his own music preferences. It wouldn't have cost a thing to let Luka sing this song and participate to this, but his ego was too big. If he's ashamed of Eurovision, he should not participate next year.
I experienced more kindness from strangers in Belgium than I have anywhere else in the world. It's a shame your artist didn't take part in this but it's a reflection of that individual, not the nation. See you in 2021!
I'm also from Belgium and we were all disappointed when we noticed this last night. Beautiful show, beautiful message and wonderful people everywhere!
Totally agree with Cedric!

To all the artists: Don’t be disappointed that the ESC didn’t take place this year. You were all part of something really special that will be remembered forever in the history of the ESC❤ So be proud! Greetings from Croatia😊
The eurovision should bring people together, Eurovision 2020 does not exist, but it brought europe together
Yes. That is so true.
For few hours it brainwashed millions of gullible romantic __ nothing more nothing less
Better together
Just watched this on TV, they're all so amazing and inspiring.
Inspiring?
@@samuelfathead yeah they're all keeping their heads up even though they won't get to complete until next year 😁
faceless anime girl most wont compete full stop. The rules are they need new songs so most countries won’t pick the same people as this year. Only one country said they will
@@samuelfathead oh thanks I didn't know that 😂😅
I was literally in tears a few times during the show. It was so beautiful and heart warming because just of seeing that everyone was getting struck by the virus and that we are in this together. The whole moment where they still kept the positivity and happiness was so emotional to me. So many mixed feels of saddens because of all losses this year and happines because there is hope and that spark of light that feels warm. Hope you all are safe and calm! Love you! 🙏💕
The Polish girl's voice is lovely ❤
Thank u from Poland 🇵🇱❤️
I'm sorry about the singers who couldn't represent their country again :(

I agree but on the other hand I’m so happy Måneskin got to participate as I turned out to be a fan of their music and had never heard of them before :)

I can't be the only one who wants esc each year have a common song like jesc where all singers sing together, right??

YES, THEY NEED TO DO THAT. I think that would be really important to let everyone know even though this is a contest this would be great to bring people together and make up this amazing content of amazing people PROUD TO BE EUROPEAN AND PROUD TO BE LATVIAN
This is so inspiring! People all over Europe (and Australia of course) united in one song, sharing these amazing emotions.

Belgium is NOT in The song Alex from hooferphonic don't like This song. He say on The Belgium tv that's he fond it a crap song. And i understand why he don't sing it.
@@veronickhaesen1622 It is still a tasteless move. He isn't the vocalist so he wouldn't be singing, yet it screws over Luka (assuming she had wanted to take part). Add to it that this is not a song about the individual artists, but about European solidarity during a time of adversity, so now he just looks like a self-centered butthole to anyone who learns of this.
Let’s all be honest.
Iceland’s singer is probably a meme lord and goes on reddit 9hours a day-
He was the best here
HAHA THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT
When I see him on his computer playing video games, that was my first thought 😁
The troll country 2020
To my children I'll tell all the meme legends I saw in their early days. The list will be a long one, I'm proud of myself
Still watching this in 2022 and can’t stop crying. Beautiful.
Same🥺
Me too in 2023
Honestly, I could watch a full version of this song by each one of the artists. It's beautiful.
The EBU also managed to do something that Imagine video couldn’t do: everyone is on-key and on-tempo.
It’s also unfortunate that Hooverphonic didn’t do it because apparently it didn’t sound like their repertoire. I can guarantee you bands like the Roop, Go_A, and Little Big don’t usually do songs like these, but they’re there
Was that the reason? 😕 Even Little Big participated, and it's as far from their repertoire as you can imagine!
All they had to do was sing a single verse ..Well Eurovision 2021 Nil points for Belgium 🇧🇪 people won’t forget
@@Brad7Dad Uhm... I'm Belgian and I was confused too. Don't blame it on the country, it's not very reasonable :)
@@Brad7Dad It depends entirely on the performer and their attitude towards their acts and music. If this had happened in 2019, would you picture Hatari taking part in something like this?
Sjælefred Herm It wouldn't have suited Hatari but they still probably would've taken part
*Belgium has left the chat*
Not really, still here, Actually I came her because a read an article about it.
I can understand that people are upset about it, but on the other hand every Eurovison needs a good controversy Right? ;-))
We are so ashamed about what alex did. He' s such a disgusting man. Its not about the song , he shut our country out of this beautiful message
What happen with Belgium?
and Ilya 😹
@@cassel7898 Nothing happened, only the lead man of Hooverphonic felt it was a sh...ty song. He did not participate and now he is the one that has to take a lot of s... ;-))
This was broadcast in the darkest days of Covid. Gave everyone a bit of hope.
Above all it is the Holy Spirit behind, within and from the song that gives hope.
This song was originally created for the anniversary of The Samaritans (the original - British - suicide helpline, devised and developed by the Reverend Chad Varah, who felt moved to act when the first funeral he ever officiated at was of a 14-year-old girl frightened into suicide by her first period)
I cry every time I watch... so much replay on this video... a giant goosebumps moment of 4min
Me too
X2
I know I'm late but I heard it like 1000 times
same here, I'm still watching it in 2021
And me in 2023
I hope Eurovision 2021 will open up in grand style with "Love Shine a Light" featuring Katrina Leskanich, other singers, flag bearers and a full symphony orchestra. It will sort of pick things up where we left it with "Europe Shine a Light 2020" and will be a memorable moment bringing Europe & Eurovision back together and symbolizing its return from these unsettling times.
This song is so uplifting and simply has to be released. Donate the proceeds to worthy causes and it can become one of the biggest charity records ever.
Has to be released as a charity single for all frontline workers. Who's going to start a facebook campaign to get this storming up the charts
We need this on Spotify ecc.!
yasss🥺
The playlist is
No matter how many times I listen to this, still gives me goosebumps 🥺
How awesome would it be if they all came together and performed this song live as an interval act in 2021
Anyone else get emotional every time or is it just me?
Me as well
Same, especially since this song was the last time my country won.
This was by far the most emotive Eurovision. Interactive, inclusive and simply Amazing the way it was put together. 👌
First non Eurovision!!😀

@blablaaa blablaaa
Coming back to this peaceful song, with all countries united, spreading a message of hope in a very hard context, after the disgrace that was the edition of 2024.
This one was hosted by Netherlands. The irony.
I almost feel guilty that I look back on 2020, a time of such heartbreak for many, with something approaching affection. I wouldn't want to return to those times, but the fact that we were able to stay together, when forced to be apart, really did bring out the best of humanity.
@@stevetayler9518The pandemic (escaped from a lab) is a tragedy and scandal so great that we have blinded ourselves to the truth of it. But millions of us ordinary people did the best we could. The above is the best of the best. The song is a divine one ... designed for another purpose but it has strength; beauty; love and truth ... like everything the Holy Spirit touches...
Hear Hear!
EBU/Eurovision: Please, re-publish this 2020-version of "Love shine a light" and donate the proceeds to a European Institution supporting the people/nurses who care for COVID-19 people
Klaus Berger This wins today’s internet. Best idea I’ve read.
Great idea
How many more charity causes must be supporting ?????nonsense
I thought the representatives for each country did a fantastic job tonight. I can't imagine how disappointed they all must have been. Really supportive messages and this beautiful collaboration to bring Europe together. I hope a lot get to come back to Eurovision in 2021.
One of the most beautiful things I've seen on Eurovision! Singing together instead of competing especially now is one of the most powerful signs of hope.
Just 7 months later and I still have tears in my eyes. Please "Acarde" and "Love Shine a Light" as the opening act for 2021.
Am I the only one who wants a duet with the artist from Ukraine and Iceland?? :D
Same.
And Albania
I'm sorry that my country didn't wanted to share this moment (belgium)
But i'm so proud of all the others who made my heart jumped in these dark times
They shined their lights and the artists will be in our hearts
I think the refusal of Hooverphonics to participate in this wonderful unifying song disqualifies them to be Belgium’s participant next year. Shameful to bring this attitude when you represent your country. Belgium, the home of the European Union, should select a better participation next year.
Alex has always been an egotripper but this tops it all! I hope we pick a new performer for next year !
MVE the man who started the group, Alex Callier, has a very bad attitude and a big ego, so i personally saw this behaviour from him coming. it’s a shame for the girl Luka in their group cause she’s a really nice girl with so much potential, and he’s kinda ruining her chances
Why did they do so?
It's his right to choose
This should be an anthem for the WHO. When this song won, I was doing a virology placement in Germany and was at a Eurovision party with 7 nationalities. The rest of tonights program kept showing my old office when I worked on SARS in Rotterdam. Most of my old life was spent working on projects with WHO. Some national leaders have attacked WHO but their work is getting nations to collaborate on situations like this (or to prevents them from happening). What's to attack? Listen to the song.
I think that the reasons people attack the WHO is because of diplomatic nonsense, not the amazing work that all of you are doing for the world.
@@jochemvanhees I don't do anything like that anymore but I agree those that are do a fantastic job.
If the UK never wins again, it will always have this gorgeous song, the ultimate Eurovision anthem, under its belt.
This must be the best winning song of Eurovision. Timeless lyrics and melody. Well done UK
Damn. This is beautiful. We are stronger when we are united.

I have never been more proud to be an European. We’ll be back next year stronger then ever! ❤️ thanks Eurovision for always bringing us together.

If the UK entered this song today, it would still win, I am 100% certain.
this is maybe the best thing that came from ESC ever. how everyone (but Hooverphonic) reunite to sing this beautul song with such great massege. everyone were amazing. Honestly, I think it was one of the greatest eurovision cast ever. Glad that some of them return in 2021. sad some won't.
Love, health and 120 points for everyone. from Israel.
As a united state citizen this is one of the most beautiful things I ever seen.
This song is the winner of Eurovision 2020 and the winners in it are all participants! The case when Eurovision really unites. There is no spirit of competition, but on the contrary, everyone has become even closer to each other.
This is my christmas song no.1 for 2020. My wish is that this song will be played all around the globe and that our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
If this was released as a single, I would buy it without hesitation
During these difficult times we are all facing now, this performance is what everybody needed! Looking forward to 2021 already! Everybody earned their right to represent their country fairly and they really deserved to be honored correctly, especially tonight! No matter that many of the songs were not good this year, every single artist is a WINNER!
This was a truly special musical performance, never have we needed an uplifting message more!
This has 69 likes so I won't like it
So much emotion! Every year there should be a song sung by every contestants like in Junior Eurovision!
Not all of the notes are right to the point, not all of them look like supermodels, but all of them are unique people, representing their countries, singing a great song that makes me shiver ... that´s European fellowship 😘
You will not get how much I love this. A true masterpiece. Legendary Esc masterclass of 2020 I will forever remember them.
Watched this at our Eurovision party in the US and we sang along in a social distancing group hug circle, and yes, there were tears
Its hilarious that America won this for us UK!!🤣
Tears ?? You bloody hysterical over excited for nothing ___childish spoiled people of USA
The perfect song to end this show - I cried loads. Eurovision is a magical thing that is very hard to explain - and tonight it really hits home how we are literally all in this together. Bring on 2021
This song marked the last time the UK won Eurovision (1997), and it's been the best song they ever entered, IMO. One of the best winners of all time, in fact.
It's probably no coincidence that the song was NOT written for Eurovision using some formula, focus group or jury, but for the 30th anniversary of a branch of The Samaritans (charity that helps depressed, suicidal and people in mental crisis), hence the positive, upbeat lyrics and tune and the naturalness of the emotion it evokes. It was only entered for Eurovision at the last minute when it was realised what a great song it is.
Holy Spirit woz 'ere!
You would think that a year later I could watch this without getting emotional. Nope, still wrecks me, every time... ❤️❤️❤️
Know the feeling!
Long live Europe. The light always shines in the Civilized World, and this song is a proof of it
