Was so nice of Mika to let them host Eurovision at his concert ❤️
Hahaha 😂 So true.
He even hosted it for the hosts of his concert.
Good one 😂🤣😂
hahahah the best comment
😂😂😂
I Could Not Stop SMILING during his performance, he is The Moment, he is nostalgia, he is talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, etc etc
perfectly described
screaming and hollering. the energy was so immaculate
Un lujo Mika, cada nota, cada movimiento, es increíble, bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽💛💛💛💛💛
He took over eurovision with his performance. I'd forget all contestant over him
Perfectly said. I smiled this whole performance. It was PURE nostalgia 🥺🥳💗
Mika being the host, the international star AND the winner of this year's edition, this is called multitasking my friends.
...and becoming a meme for confusing Holland with Poland! 😅
@@mishinha And Romania with Spain jaja
Mika non è l'ospite, è il presentatore. Non capite nemmeno quello che vedete.
@@domac7673 forse hai fatto un po' di confusione.. Host significa presentatore.
@@domac7673 se non sai neanche l'inglese che cosa commenti a fare, sparisci ignorante
This was the moment A LOT of people went "Oh he's THAT MIKA?!".
Ha ha ha, yes I know :) I was confused myself, because I didn't think THAT Mika was Italian. And he isn't, but he's a great friend of Italy apparently.
@@monmothma3358 actually he was a judge of xfactor Italy for a very long time
@@riccardodibella1459Yes that's what I found out, but I still don't know how a British-Lebanese singer ended up as that. Seems like he simply moved to Italy at one point?
@@monmothma3358 He lives in Italy yes
@@monmothma3358 whole Italy just fell in love with him and adopted him apparently hahaagag
He wasn't even a contestant, but to me he won Eurovision! Well, and my heart, of course!
Absolutely agree with you. I loved his Grace Kelly song at the time but tonight's performance was on a different level and you really did not want it to end. For me that Song was the winner. X
Same for me. He is a winner!💝💝
Same feeling
Same! I would have voted for him if it was possible xD!
Ce garçon possède un talent fou et un immense charisme.
This one 6-minute medley by Mika was absolutely the best part of the whole show. Absolutely iconic!
Agreed
Wow, I agree...he was the best...for years he kind of disapeared... ...great to see him preform again..❤❤
Oh yessssss!!!!
I totally agree with you!
🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
It’s not Mika who performed at Eurovision, it’s everyone at Eurovision who performed at Mika’s event.
true
Haha right...
True 😂👍
Nice of him to invite so many people to his concert 😊
Yes!!!! 😍❤🥰💥💫
Petition to make Mika permanent Eurovision host no matter the country
We would need nikki de jagger aswell
Well, he is British and the contest will be held in Liverpool, United Kingdom. I wouldn't mind see him hosting 2023 contest as well. And If France wins, well, you understand what I want to say.
the era of annual måns appearances is over. its mika time
@@TomasSongContestnikki is terrible thank god she is gone
Oh, I thought, who Petra Mede must host esc with. I found this person :)
No offense to this year's entries but they are SO lucky he isn't a contender goddamn
It would have been a nice tie with Måneskin 😁🤟
Quality doesn't necessarily get you points.
@@lesslikeme but he has the charisma which does get points
@@lesslikeme yeah that is now proofed
@@lesslikeme and we’ve definitely seen that this year
I think any person born in the early 00s and in the 90s truly had a blast during these minutes. Mika was truly the highlight of last night!
Such childhood nostalgia 😅
@@oliviaequitation2317 Yes definitely
I'm 15 now and I basically grew up with Mika. For me this was the best Eurovision moment. It was quite frustrating 'cause none of my friends knew who he was 😭
I felt such nostalgia, had tears in my eyes because of the memories🥲❤️
@@jamiebos7936 Aww I feel you 🤍
Mika was the total star of Eurovision- he kept the whole show together - he can speak several languages fluently was gracious charming witty / he should be brought back every year - he was the missing x factor Eurovision needs
Ironically, mika is one of the judges at the Italian version of Xfactor
Yeah
Him along with Petra Mede would be an outstanding duo!
@Koby Cossins If its in the UK I guess they could bring Mika back?
I liked him more as a host than Måns 😅🙏🏼
Can't believe it was the first time ever that one of the hosts won the Eurovision, that's insane! They really changed the rules for Mika 🥰
What about Steffan Raab?
Don't forget Mans Zelmerlov
@@chrupflin stefan raab participated but did not win
I think that many people seeing this comment didn’t actually get what you meant 😂
@@catablagaa Yeah, for example, me. Can someone please explain this to me?
I love that Grace Kelly was arranged like the "Grace Kelly challenge" with one harmony added for each round
Same. I've been hoping Mika would do his own version of the challenge and this was the perfect way to do it at the perfect place
My favorite part!
SAMEE i got SO excited when i noticed
The official sponsor of this year’s ESC was TikTok… so, I guess it was on purpose
The Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrell video will forever be rent free in my head
the way they kept him from us until the end of the evening... mika was the main event
Qué fantasía ver a Mika engalanando con esa magia Eurovisión 2022 🤩🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was looking forward to the Maneskin performance, which was amazing of course, but Mika was just on a whole another level, what an incredible show!
trueeeee
@@alexaf.3158 I was disappointed in Maneskin, was expecting Zitti e buoni :(
This is one of the best interval acts that I have ever seen at the Eurovision song contest.
Yes!!!😍 And the one in 2019 by The Idan Raichel project I really liked that one too!
if not THE best
When you're not actually just waiting for the countdown for once
i think i liked Madcon - Glow in 2010 the most
Justin timberlake was good to me too bro))
This is what we want all the countries to do, why is it that so hard to understand?? Mika literally outperformed them all 😂👏🏻
Mika is such a genius. So rare peoples could do it what he does.
Mika outperformed Madonna!
I've never much cared for Mika's music, but seriously, that performance was incredibly exhilarating and definitely inspired some nostalgia. By far the best musical performance of the night, but Måneskin were also really good.
great lip-syncing!
Absolutly perfect that performance 👏👏👏👏
@@Reoll he wasn't, you can see he pauses the song to take a breath
he does have back-up tracks though
@@Reoll why you so bitter...
@@Reoll it's not lip-sync, I had to relisten to it this morning without watching it to try to pick on the details, it's definitely live. He's just really good at singing.
Mika is one of the greatest male performers ever! His energy is out of this world and his vocals are really insane.
He has freddie mercury energy and vibes
Dose frero
I swear I BURST INTO TEARS when he did Happy Ending… it’s my favourite of his songs and what I would give to have seen that in person…
Have you heard his version of happy ending with the orchestra at the opera? That one really makes your eyes swell with tears!!
If Freddie Mercury was alive this guy would be signed to him touring with him opening up for queen all that
In the 80s he would of been up there
Sad this generation don’t appreciate this guy and his style enough
This in my mind was the best part of the whole Eurovision
He was offered to lead queen but he declined it
He was actually asked if he wanted to tour with queen, but he said that he didn’t want to be known as the guy who tried to be freddie
He is better
@@anielad8721 So, it's true that he "tried a little Freddy, he's gone identity mad"?
@@myeurovisiontv4703 🥱. He's rejected it to not be the guy who tried to be Freddie. Because Freddie is one of a kind.
Stop trying to be rude to him.
This is actually the first time I’ve seen him sing and when he sings, he seems way different to when he is hosting. Its like a completely different person.
I've been a fan since grace kelly and have seen him irl twice and can confirm this is definitely a truer representation of him- he's usually so energetic and goofy most of the time I'm not quite sure why he's been so awkward in his time as host 🤣
@@rebeccadavis2362 I think you have to be really professional when presenting but you can be yourself in other situations
In 2016 and 2017 Mika made a show in several evenings for the main Italian TV RAI - This Evening CasaMika (Mika’s house) where he presented and performed. I remember that they were extraordinary evenings, a true 360 ° artist.
@@rebeccadavis2362 because everything is staged
Absolutely agreed!
Great to hear Grace Kelly live, it was huge back in high school
Legit
It was not LIVE
Did you try a little Freddie... MMMMMM 🕺🏻
@@TomNook. I did, I think back then I was identity mad!
@@sandervanhalsem6389 it was…
Mika is the closest thing we have to a modern day Freddie Mercury
Yes! I had the same thing! When I was watching this show, I was obsessed about MIKA, but still thinking that he has Freddie’s energy here! 😍😍
Mika's definitely possessed "a little bit of Freddie" 👑
It seems to me that there must've been a close tie between Mika and Adam Lambert to do the Queen legacy tour!
who can jump like that, run, do squats on a piedestal and SING LIKE THAT AT THE SAME TIME? Mika is a legend. Its him and Freddie Mercury.
If you use auto tune and so much backing track and vocals that you barely hear your own voice then anyone can do this…..
@@raulmorell7540 Ok I feel like that's just not true though. I'm not even arguing about whether or not there are a lot of backing tracks and tech supports in this song,,, I'm just saying even if there are, no, not everyone can do that? lmao
@@emsitdown9141 no not everyone can do that, that’s the thing. Mika can’t so he shouldn’t be compared to someone like Freddie mercury
@@raulmorell7540 That's not what I'm saying. I don't care whether or not you think this performance is autotuned, because I can't prove you wrong and you can't prove yourself right. What I'm saying is that performing with technical support or backing is still a skill that someone can be good or bad at, and Mika is good at that skill. Whether that puts him on the same level as Freddie Mercury wasn't something I was arguing either.
@@raulmorell7540 it was definitely live and Mika is amazing and no auto tune needed
He's an incredible singer!!! Did absolute justice to the musical genius that is Mika ❤️
Wdym he is Mika lmao or have I just misunderstood you
@@alfielee3873 lol. I have shitty eyesight so I can only hear the music. Can't quite see well enough to know it was indeed Mika. Thanks for letting me know though,he does have a unique voice.
@@markvarley2962 come on, he's great. I love Mika and his music.
@@MagosaDelBiosa ahhh right yeh it was from the interval show so it was just a side performance from him he wasn’t competing or anything
@@MagosaDelBiosa eyesight that’s so bad you can’t see Mika in the video…. Yet can read tiny writing that tells you it’s Mika…. 🤔
Seeing Mika perform this year is probably the best thing I've seen on Eurovision so far 💖💖💖
EDIT: After some consideration and listening to the other performers, I'd say this was probably the best Eurovision we got in awhile.
I only hope that the next Eurovision is going to be even more exciting than this one and that we can await some amazing performances!
Same♥️
Mika and Maneskin were the highlights of the night!
@@vreckavrecka7950 yes!!🥰♥️♥️♥️amazing
@@vreckavrecka7950 Hell yeah!! Loved both of their perfomances,
I really hope to see more of this in the next Eurovision as well :)
wow....not the best song has 2022 winning.
the telephon and sms voters has pushed a other song.
no comment to this...
People can criticize a lot of things done by the Italian organisation, BUT I dare to deny it was one of the best interval acts Eurovision pulled out 🙌
beyond the kinetic sun what can you dispute? (that worked) are the lights missing? missing the stage? missing the ledwalls? are the cameras in sd? this edition is much richer and more innovative than this year's edition which seems to come out of 2002!
ESC 2023 is boring, so I am coming back to this masterpiece
How true, so aseptic
@@elio.dalterio I agree too
Soo true!
Italians do it better 😂❤
How is no one talking about how amazing that new song is?!?!
yes! go stream yo yo everyone!!:)
yes! euro banger through and through
YEEEES, I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT
@@11_Alina SAMEEEE😭
Yeeees. I can't search it, but i need this song now
the fact that he put the tiktok trend into his medley for grace kelly means that he knows that he is trending again. wow what a throwback to 2007. Mika was my childhood.
Well... it was more probably because Tiktok was the main sponsor of this year's Eurovision, so I don't know if he really had a choice. But it was still dun to see
Also, it's one of his most popular songs. Tiktok made it trend again but it was a huge hit years ago.
Mika's song was way a head of its time back then, just like Queen
I'll forever be PISSED at how UNDERRATED this man is !!
When people are so unapologetically themselves it makes me emotional... LOVE this
This is literally the first performance that i am watching back since it was aired at Eurovision and that's saying something!
@KLGoodman no, this medley is amazing
Saw Mika live in Bournemouth years ago and he was incredible. Never seen a singer with so much energy.
@@markvarley2962 I don't think so. He's just being himself without shame and I love it. He is always energetic in concerts :)
I think he was lip syncing.
@@markvarley2962could be haha
@@Peter_Sokunbi I think many performances like this might have at least partial lip syncing. Otherwise the singers would be too out of breath to sing and dance at the same time
@@Peter_Sokunbi so what if its lip synching? He performed.
Its insane how Mika has a better stage presence than any of the contestants
Not really. He's the real deal. He's a professional who's sold millions of albums. Eurovision is for amateur acts by comparison. Of course he's way better than any eurovision contestant.
Lol.... How's it insane?? .... Mika's literally a legend as compared to all these amateurs...
Why do people try to take down Eurovision with comparisons like this when Eurovision fans don't pretend to have these crazy expectations. It's cool when we get an ABBA or Maneskin but, that's not realistic given the music industry doesn't need Eurovision to make stars. A lot of Eurovision stars do it for fun and have completely different day jobs.
Mika is one of those once in a generation talents that somehow manages to slip through the cracks. But when you see him perform you're reminded of just how special he is as an artist.
12 points to GORGEOUS Mika!!!
This and Diodato performance are the real winners
I agree 👏
When was the last time ESC hosts were a international pop superstar (Mika), and a grammy winning artist in Laura Pausini!!?! Some of the highest quality production/hosting this year!
Absolutely!!! What other world show - starting with the same past ESCs - has had two such talented presenters? Living history and chronicle of European music.
Obviously ITALY MEANS QUALITY
Thanks! Lots of people are criticizing Italy for every single thing we did in this year's production. But interval acts and hosting were absolutely the best in a while.
@@niko01master49 lol
He is charming, educated, intelligent man and a spectacular singer, idk with this music industry honestly, if performers like him doesn't sound from everywhere
The real winner of tonight tbh, the guy killed it.
he totally would have won Eurovision if he ever decided to participate
Also thought he should have attended himself, but he won't need that..
What country would he enter for though?
@@joezr952 France
@@joezr952 He's told in some interviews that, if Lebanon ever participated, he'd be thrilled to represent his country in Eurovision
@@aryatara8762 he’s abit of every country not gonna lie lol. UK/Lebanese nationality with US citizenship growing up in France till 8 and moving to the UK but with a Lebanese Mother and an Israeli father. He’s better of representing the UN 🤣
how many times have you watched this? me: yes
Ive been watching eurovison since 1997 and this is my favourite interval act ive seen fight me if you want
Wow he absolutely still have the same energy ! And that yoyo song is addictive !
Remember when ESC invited Madonna just to overhype her for a dull performance? Mika was the perfect host and act
Love Today: 0:00
Grace Kelly: 1:12
Yo-Yo: 2:39
Happy Ending: 4:04
You're welcome :D
Thanks❤
Can I just say that I scrolled through every comment on this video and there is genuinely not ONE negative comment. As it should be. Absolute Legend he is so so loved and that makes me so happy x
There are negative comments :(
So happy that Mika was one of the hosts he is amazing
Italy made everything, so proud of my country
Agreee,brilliant hosts this year
I wanted to vote for him.
I’ve watched this about 40 times since last night and I’m not stopping yet. Hands down best performance I’ve ever seen. Full stop. Mika is insanely talented, and a legend.
Same but I'm never stopping!!!! I'm spamming my friends with that link every 30 minutes just to make sure that they know how amazing Mika is. STAN HIM,
One of the best interval acts of one of the best Eurovision in one of the best country's ever. Thank you Italy 🇮🇹
one of the very few interlude performances that 100% match the Eurovision vibe
Is it fair to say he's like modern Freddie Mercury? Absolutely yes imo
When I first heard Grace Kelly back in 2006(?) I thought it was a Freddie track I'd never heard!!
Yup
He's definitely inspired by His Majesty Freddie Mercury for sure 👑
Mika, I don't know why, has the power to make me smile. He's so goofy, nice, always positive and polite. That's why we italians love him so much
Mika is a rare human, such a genuine and good person, he s smart,funny,crazy,he s born to perform and to make crazy falsettos 😀❤❤
Guys I was there. It was the best thing that I've ever seen in my life
Do you even realise how insanely lucky you were x
This was probably the best produced part of Eurovision 2022…
Agree fully. Don’t understand why Italy got so much flack for it (mainly from the UK). It was absolutely impeccable. The staging, the costumes, the hosts were great, the lighting 10/10. My fav Eurovision since Love, Love, Peace,Peace ❤
Mika is one of the only people who could hit those notes _while_ running around the stage. Great stuff
All performances like this have pre-recorded backing vocals. It’s still great.
@@hannahm6497 Did they pre-recorded him messing up when he runs and gets up from the floor too?
You hear him take that breath when running, he goes ,I could brown,i could be blue ,, violet
Possibly the best ESC interval act EVER!
Best Eurovision performance
Haven't heard these songs in ages! Takes me right back to my teens. Mika was a huge teen hero for me and brought me so much joy:❤️
The best interval performance since Mans & Petra's "Love Love Peace Peace"! Thank you so much Mika!
Mika, leyenda.
I wish we could've voted for Mika.
Why was this seriously the best performance of the show
They really let the hosts outperform the contestants this year 😫
I am so happy he recreated the tiktok for Grace Kelly. So satisfying
The real winner of 2022 Eurovision
love the person at 4:04 who started yelling the lyrics so loud even we could hear it
I had the chance to see him live a few years ago. Two hours of concert, he never missed a note. AMAZING. What a performer! Criminally underrated ❤️
i’m that person at 4:06 absolutely losing my mind screaming the lyrics to happy ending
This is how humankind should be ❤
MIKA IS AN ICON
I'm not going to lie, it wasn't until this medley started that it finally clicked who he was lmao. I'd never really seen his face before, or regular talking voice, and somehow every time he was announced it went over my head aha. But I loved every second of this performance, shame he wasn't a contestant ahah
Same!😂 I never caught his name when he was just there. But when this came up I was like OH ITS MIKA.
The official winner of the Eurovision Song Contest
Still haven't emotionally recovered from this
real
I was hoping the whole evening/night for him to perform and I'm so happy right now. Mika is a real legend and a great role model! ❤🏳️🌈
Increíblemente impecable Mika, amo cada momento de su presentación en Eurovisión 2022 💛🏳️🌈🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻 Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
The guys still a great performer and still has a fantastic voice , hoping he makes a big UK come back and has big success here again .
His transparent top is ICONIC, I knew these songs but I didn't know they were Mika's. Now I'm in love, we're so lucky to have him as a host and this mini concert!! ❤️❤️❤️
(OMG when he lifted from the platform during Yo-yo and the whole vibe of that song was fire)
I was too drunk the night of to fully appreciate it by the time he came on but rewatching this is amazing!
Douze points to MIKA. Absolutely the hilight of Eurovison this year. Love him so much. 🏳️🌈😍
Before this ESC, I had heard of Mika and a couple of his songs sounded familiar though I hadn't put them together. Seeing this performance on ESC has enabled me to put the name, face and songs together and it's bloody great! Thank you ESC!
Best presenters and interval act I have seen, and being 54 years old this week, I have seen a lot of ESCs.
Mika now added to my Spotify play lists!
@John Millis Real
......and I also loved Laura Pausini's Opening act
I honestly watched this years eurovision just for Mika
I have no idea how many times I have watched this performance. It is my happy place.
This is EXACTLY what everyone needed. Thank you 🙏
This man right here, he's literally the definition of my childhood and i still listen to him till now
LOVE YOU MIKA ❤️
Just saying, we could totally have this happen for a 2nd time next year. I don’t think anyone would complain.
Especially as the UK is hosting
@@crafter118 for sure! Should be an interesting show!
This was such a nostalgia trip
The best performance of the night?Absolutely. Mika has a lot of energy on stage and his songs always make you smile ♥️
This is what I call a proper show, thank you Mika and Italy ♥
Mika really said:
"Lemme show them how it's done✋🏻😌"
I mean I know riverdance is hailed as one of the best Eurovision interval acts, but very honestly I think that was the best ever.
For me it's up there with Love love peace peace, but I get what you're saying. It was AMAZING!❤️
So many songs I haven't heard for years, but do mean so much to me. Mika definitely was a big part of my coming-out story: his confidence and way of just being himself gave me the confidence to be myself too! Thank you Mika
👏👏👏👏
Mika is instant serotonin.
He should be invited every year to do this.
hottest person alive. my jaw dropped to the floor when grace kelly came on and i have yet to pick it back up
I love seeing everyone saying they want to vote for him like FINALLY people understand he’s a genie!
Мика-лучшая часть всего шоу !Браво, Мика, браво 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Жаль, що за нього не можна було голосувати :_)
Согласна!
Он потрясающий! Спасибо Италии, что он был с нами!
This guy is absolutely a pure soul.
This is what made this eurovision!!!!
