Just cause I read some comments about that topic: Of course I also loved and appreciated Manizha's feminist message. Only mentioning her performance related moments and calling Destiny the "feminist queen" probably was a poor choice. With Destiny, I just meant that I loved the message of her song and not that she was "the most feminist" (if there even is such a thing). Well anyways Manizha definitely deserves all our love for being so outspoken about women's rights, especially as a Russian woman herself! It takes a lot of courage to stand on that stage, being from Russia, having to cope with all the hate thrown her way and still being so strong and powerful! So please: Stream her music and support that woman cause she is one to watch!
Mad respect for Manizha's being brave and giving voice to Russian women, but for me personally, the true "feministas" of the 2021 Eurovision were The Black Mamba from Portugal. Tatanka, the vocalist, seamlessly personified the most invisible and vulnerable of women: a prostitute; a woman with an addiction and broken dreams still holding on to hope and believing in love. And The Black Mamba did this with so much class and tact showing dignity and respect for the story of that lady they once met. I'm honestly happy that for once a group of men choose to wear the skin of a woman and not make a drag show out of it! Absolute respect for those five men, they deserve it👏👏👏 True gentlemen and real feministas!
It felt really nice to see Manizha included in your video C: we rooted for her even knowing that victory is unlikely and as a Russian woman myself, I really appreciate your recognition, thank you so much!!
This is very well clarified! There were so many great artists in this year's contest, we must recognize all their talent and support the one's we fell most connected to! Thank you for this video ❤️🇧🇷
The fact that they had a person dressed as a middle finger and they didn't allow Finland to put up their middle fingers during their preformence because the channel is "family friendly" so they painted them lmao

@@carlijn4348 yeah, I'm not saying that he doesn't speak any English at all (buthe definitely doesn' tunderstand any French, unlike his bandmates, but his language skills are really lacking and definitely not good enough for giving interviews or holding deep conversations. Just like in my home country and probably anywhere else, those with English given names are also the ones with the most limited English skills.
She served true art. I don't know how impactful that performance was for people that don't speak French, but being able to understand the song made it THE performance of the night for me. You could tell this was her song and that she meant every single word she sang. I could literally go on for days about this.
Guys let's take moment to apprecate Nikki! She did soo well, and it really isn't easy doing a huge show with a tight schedule like that. The German translator seemed to be really fond of her as well, he kept praising her. Well done Nikki!!!
The Finnish commentator also admitted to having become a full fan of Nikki during the contest and really wished he could take a selfie with her, alas, social distancing rules.
lol me too, the song wasn't awful just sooo boring and completely forgetable. Like right now, i can't even remotely remember what it sounded like..just that it was zzzzz. I feel like the UK don't even try, same with some of the other countries that are guaranteed a spot, theres literally no excuse with the resources they have not to put on a decent show lol!
@@betht7414 I think the UK always goes for a boring but safe song but pls we could do so much more, we have amazing musical theatre singers, talented drag queens, boybands, power houses, theres no excuse!

i like the eiffel tower but i agree, it doesnt sum up france n it was refreshing to see france so something still very french but without resorting to the eiffel tower
Okay but we have to talk about how brave and strong Manizha is. She was getting all this hate from her own country and still didn't give up. A lot of Russians were saying that Manizha is not actually slav to represent Russia on the contest. A lot of them were judging the femenist message (strangely, most of them were women). So yeah i respect this woman with all of my heart❤
Russia was really catchy. I think that one of the main reasons why the song was criticised the rhyme that Manizha used. A rhyme like that is considered vulgar (by the rules of the Russian language and I am not sure abt this cause ive been learning for only a month), esp in the first part ABAB, but to rhyme it she used the same words polye malo and then again polye malo. I disliked the lyrical arrangement tbh. However the message was really nice and the performance was the bomb.
@@justarandompersonontheinte3118 yeah, I'm not exactly a fan of the style either. It's such a chaotic mix of pop and traditional motives and the English parts were weak. But I loved the second verse and the message ofc
She's also an incredible human - one of the few famous Russians who is an outspoken LGBTQ+ rights activist, and she's also a Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees at the UN
@@Justinya0 A lot of the same style songs sound like each other, that is why people are getting tired of generic pop music also. I can find like 5 songs that sounds like bad romance. Nothing new unfortunately.
This was an amazing idea, and while I do support Nikkie constantly doing this, I also feel it should be like relegated to someone for each country that's hosting
LookLab really changed the way I viewed artists before their interviews, which also made me able to appreciate all songs a lot more if there wasn't a LookLab
I love this video for being so positive about every performance and contestant. This is how Eurovision should be! People cheering about other countries even though they have no connection with those countries, nor do they understand the lyrics of their songs (that was me with Ukraine!). Music and Eurovision connects us all
I started to cry when Manizha sang together with videos of Russian women😭 There were women of different race, nationality, religion. A lot of russian feminists and queer activists, heroes of WW2, actresses and artists, there also was hijabi woman who defends women and children living in muslim-regions of Russia. It was so brave and important, because in Russia there are a lot of homophobic and racist politicians in government. We even have a “anti-propaganda of LGBT+” law🤦♀️ As a half-russian half-caucasian bisexual girl I’m so proud seeing Manizha representing my country. I’m really happy for Italy, they deserved their victory 100% (and their song also stuck in my head), but Manizha became the winner of my heart. Love from Russia ❤️ (sorry for my English)
Your English is good, don't worry!!! Also, I'm glad you feel proud of Manizha, I'm not Russian so I didn't know all the nuances of the issues in Russia, and reading your comment I can see how important she is and it's good to see women like her given a platform! When she came on I greatly admired her, her performance was amazing, and my commentator made me aware that she was a feminist and a progressive woman which only increased my admiration, and reading your comment and seeing just how progressive she is, has again increased it.

Ok at the beginning I didn’t like Germany’s song but oh my god jendrik who gave you the right to be that cute- like that wholesome little smile and excitement is ugghh so cute
At least we tried something this year. And while it didn't pay off in the end it was still something different than all other German candidates the last years. I'm not a fan of the song but it's not something you would assume coming from Germany in general.
@@Blaps911 the song definitely grew on me, his attitude in the live performance honestly made me enjoy it. Definitely different, deserved more than 2 points
I love that you included something about every country, regardless of whether they qualified to the final or not. They all put so much effort into their performances, whether we like them or not. It takes a lot of guts to participate. It's nice that everyone's appreciated:)
iceland was hardcore trolling the entire night, and i have so much love and respect for that. also, jendrik being a wholesome icon, and us finnish people just coming up like "pUT YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS UP-" yep, that's us-
I might have been bouncing up and down excitedly waiting for Lordi. Every mention of Lordi made me lose my mind. Beautiful bonus is listening to my father's tales about the organisation. You see my father works in the Rotterdamse goverment. That means he had to organize keeping the bridge free and tests with the lighting. My father kept getting mails from the people there like: "wtf is happening with the bridge?" He had to keep it secret the whole time. I didn't know what he was working on either. Yeah I know what he does but I didn't know that they were going to use the bridge as a light show.
anyone gonna mention Gjon's lighting giving him a shadow mullet in that close up shot? We were laughing because they kept using that shot throughout the show.
@@martap6913 there is a moment in the performance where the lights make a shadow behind Gjon that makes him look like he has a hair style from the 80s called a mullet.
just gjon’s whole performance was literally amazing, his angelic voice especially the high long note at the end of the song. also he had too much screen that i developed a crush on him, he’s adorable 😭
I saw on Instagram a clip of Gjon’s Jury performance and the high note at the end was changed slightly but it was even better than it was in the grand final.
2021 was undoubtedly my favorite year, loved almost all entries. So many good songs! Especially after this years ESC with all its dramas this video just makes me sad and happy
Correct me if im wrong but Jendrik is just so cute the way he was during his performance was just so adorable. I feel sorry for him getting hate comments, since the moment his song was chosen for germany, on social media. Those comments were mostly from germans saying that he will get 0 points, but even after all of this he still had fun❤
As a german i agree. Not my type of music but it really gets in your head (is earworm a term in English?) and the more you listen to it the better it gets. He doesn't deserve all the hate.
I absolutely love how you simply highlighted the good aspects of every contestant, no shade, no hate, just pointing out the strength of everybody and their songs, no matter if you liked them or not! you're the kind of person of i wish i'd see more in this world, we need more kindness
He’s actually a musical singer and if what he said is true then it wasn’t actually his decision to sing this song but the German jury said he has to sing that song he actually has good songs
esc 2021 was jsut the best I've ever seen!! I have to say that 2022 had a few good songs that I'll keep on listening to. But not only most of the songs from 2021 were great, so was the vibe, hosting, looklab and just everything!! I've watched this video last year and I've had a smile on my face watching it back!! I just loved it!
I just loved how all 4 of the last places didn't give a single cat's arse about their 0 points. They were just like "Ok, and? I had fun, so screw you televotes"
This year's Eurovision was so GOOD. I never really cared about it i honestly only watched it for Maneskin (Italy) but I was surprised cause everyone stepped up their game.
Albina abused her pre-recorded backing vocals. If you pay attention, you can spot numerous moments where she's doing literal playback. If she sang the whole thing (and she could, as evidenced by her Dora performance), she would've qualified. I wanted her in the final too, because her show was great, but one can understand why she didn't qualify.
I was full on "Yes gurl slay!" when Maneskin won, right until they showed Ethan's reaction, at which point it switched to "Awwwhhhhhhhh, he's so adorable!"
tout l’univers was shot SO BEAUTIFULLY LIKE THE MIXING WAS ON POINT (apart from the zoom out on the high note and then cutting to a similar shot but literally everything else was perfect) AND THE CLOSE UPS *CHEFS KISS*
Germany's and Italy's song are similar ideas being done differently XD Germany's: You can't hurt me with your hate Italy's: Shut up about your opinion on other people
what about san marino somehow getting a 12 points from a jury? Iceland actually making the ja ja ding dong meme real? Dadi putting pixel art of fans on the transparent LED? edit: jesus fucking christ how tf did this get so much likes
After watching the auditions of 2022 and returning here, I'm realizing just how much better this is. Those dancing pants were better performers than the entire second half of 2022...
+ Efentix + Damiano kissing both Thomas and Ethan + Damiano's death drop and the end of they're performance + Italy creating an alliance with both Finland and the Ucraine This are some of the things i'll remember forever of this Esc. Kisses from Italy :3
Is it just me or was 2021 one of the best years ever? I swear, I tried to remember which songs were in my top 10, and I ended up with like 30 of them...
This was honestly one of the best years I’ve seen as every performance had something memorable, iconic or was simply a really good song. Many of them went into my playlist, while I usually take only one or two, and the event was fun to watch from the beginning til the end. And I don’t even mention that sequence from the tele-voting results! I already start being a bit sad from the realization that next year probably won’t be as amazing as this one 😅
This year was so iconic and had so many great songs, I don't believe these people will be forgotten tbh... (people usually are when they didn't win ESC)

I love that you included something about every country, regardless of whether they qualified to the final or not. They all put so much effort into their performances, whether we like them or not. It takes a lot of guts to participate. It's nice that everyone's appreciated:)
Agreed but I didn't see Portugal
Poland wasnt there tho
BUT IM NOT SURPRISED THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT RAFAL-
@@takeurmedsbae XD
Also Estonia 😂
@@takeurmedsbae the glasses were cool ig
iceland was hardcore trolling the entire night, and i have so much love and respect for that.
also, jendrik being a wholesome icon, and us finnish people just coming up like "pUT YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS UP-"
yep, that's us-
do u know how loud i SCREAMED WHEN THEY BROUGHT LORDI OMFG I LOST IT
I was twerking in Norwegian
I might have been bouncing up and down excitedly waiting for Lordi. Every mention of Lordi made me lose my mind. Beautiful bonus is listening to my father's tales about the organisation. You see my father works in the Rotterdamse goverment. That means he had to organize keeping the bridge free and tests with the lighting. My father kept getting mails from the people there like: "wtf is happening with the bridge?" He had to keep it secret the whole time. I didn't know what he was working on either. Yeah I know what he does but I didn't know that they were going to use the bridge as a light show.
anyone gonna mention Gjon's lighting giving him a shadow mullet in that close up shot? We were laughing because they kept using that shot throughout the show.
Yessss my watch party was cracking up too!
Me and my friends noticed that too 😂
I'm so glad other people saw that too 😂😂👌
What is that mean? LOL can someone explain it because im not that good in English
@@martap6913 there is a moment in the performance where the lights make a shadow behind Gjon that makes him look like he has a hair style from the 80s called a mullet.
YOU FORGOT GJON'S TEARS EATING A BUISCUIT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS LMAO
HAHHAHA YES OMG
Exactly
Oh yes
The Netherlands really said, aight we'll put Davina Michelle as a separate performance just to show we can win it again but we won't
best eurovision ever period. I loved the hosts, the songs, the staging everything
Honestly when Spain did the high notes I immediately bagen singing arcade... Then I realized it was a different song..
SAME
@@alakokocinska8157 glad I'm not alone😂
Same, AND LITERALLY NONE OF MY FRIENDS AGREED
IT IS SO TRUE OMG
I was looking for this comment so desperately
Eurovision is BACK, and National languages winning both Jury and Televoting,and Rock winning the whole thing! UNFORGETTABLE ESC!!!! Love the vid!!!!
just gjon’s whole performance was literally amazing, his angelic voice especially the high long note at the end of the song. also he had too much screen that i developed a crush on him, he’s adorable 😭
I saw on Instagram a clip of Gjon’s Jury performance and the high note at the end was changed slightly but it was even better than it was in the grand final.
the best moment is when ethan had a spiritual awakening when it was announced italy won
Жщд го
Yeeesss
2021 was undoubtedly my favorite year, loved almost all entries. So many good songs! Especially after this years ESC with all its dramas this video just makes me sad and happy
This year was one of the most iconic years ever
Correct me if im wrong but Jendrik is just so cute the way he was during his performance was just so adorable. I feel sorry for him getting hate comments, since the moment his song was chosen for germany, on social media. Those comments were mostly from germans saying that he will get 0 points, but even after all of this he still had fun❤
As a german i agree. Not my type of music but it really gets in your head (is earworm a term in English?) and the more you listen to it the better it gets. He doesn't deserve all the hate.
the background of ukraine’s song has so much potential for a meme template
Exactly what I thought lol
2021 was probably one of the best years in eurovision.. so, so many good songs and everyone so happy to be back after the pandemic last year.
I absolutely love how you simply highlighted the good aspects of every contestant, no shade, no hate, just pointing out the strength of everybody and their songs, no matter if you liked them or not! you're the kind of person of i wish i'd see more in this world, we need more kindness
I didn't like Jendrik's song but he seems like the coolest dude ever!
ikr he was so happy and grateful to just be there
He’s actually a musical singer and if what he said is true then it wasn’t actually his decision to sing this song but the German jury said he has to sing that song he actually has good songs
James and Jendrik's hug
Efentix kiss
James celebrating his zero points and being a good sport
WHERE CAN I SEE THEIR KISS OMG
EFENTIX KISS???!?! WHERE OMGGG
THEIR KISS??????

I’VE BEEN WAITING 2 YEARS FOR THIS AND IT IS PERFECT THANK YOU

You're welcome from the Netherlands. 😏
esc 2021 was jsut the best I've ever seen!! I have to say that 2022 had a few good songs that I'll keep on listening to. But not only most of the songs from 2021 were great, so was the vibe, hosting, looklab and just everything!! I've watched this video last year and I've had a smile on my face watching it back!! I just loved it!
I just loved how all 4 of the last places didn't give a single cat's arse about their 0 points. They were just like "Ok, and? I had fun, so screw you televotes"
This year's Eurovision was so GOOD. I never really cared about it i honestly only watched it for Maneskin (Italy) but I was surprised cause everyone stepped up their game.
Apart from the uk 😂 we stepped down our game
@@user-xd4sk4pk7h you were better than in 2019 imo
Imo this wasn’t the best eurovision year ever, but it was really iconic tbh
@@ela5640 idk for me it was cause I've been watching it since I was a kid,but everybody has different opinions soo.. yeah
Iceland getting 4th with just the rehearsal performance.
They were worth it.
I'm still mad about Albina not qualifying... THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
Indeed!! I'm mad and sad too
She only needed 6 more points to qualify :(
Albania had only 24 points from juries ( or 22 )
And Malta gave to us 12, I was shocked because nobody else voted us 😧🥲
Albina abused her pre-recorded backing vocals. If you pay attention, you can spot numerous moments where she's doing literal playback. If she sang the whole thing (and she could, as evidenced by her Dora performance), she would've qualified. I wanted her in the final too, because her show was great, but one can understand why she didn't qualify.
Who else read "Albania not qualifying" and thought "wait - they did"? 😂
Honestly this years Esc was one of the best ones ever. The songs were honestly good and everyone just seemed genuinly happy to be there.
eurovision 2021 was genuinely peak - my fav year of all time
Same
I was full on "Yes gurl slay!" when Maneskin won, right until they showed Ethan's reaction, at which point it switched to "Awwwhhhhhhhh, he's so adorable!"
The existence of Ukrainian entry slays everything)
Måneskin look as if they were taken straight out of the 80s
Staging director: So we can add some pyro-
damiano: y e s
tout l’univers was shot SO BEAUTIFULLY
LIKE THE MIXING WAS ON POINT (apart from the zoom out on the high note and then cutting to a similar shot but literally everything else was perfect) AND THE CLOSE UPS *CHEFS KISS*
Germany's and Italy's song are similar ideas being done differently XD
Germany's: You can't hurt me with your hate
Italy's: Shut up about your opinion on other people
what about san marino somehow getting a 12 points from a jury? Iceland actually making the ja ja ding dong meme real? Dadi putting pixel art of fans on the transparent LED?
edit: jesus fucking christ how tf did this get so much likes
TIX showing his tics. One of the most emotional parts for me
Iceland giving 12 points to jaja ding dong killed me xD
They've got 12 points from Poland bc this singer was performing in our government TV. It was all staged...
san marino got 12 points from Poland only because she's performed with Rafał Brzozowski (the one from Poland) in our tv show not a long time ago 😭
San Marino would have deserved more than just one 12 points
natalia doing "eurOoOoOoOpe" and that long, flat ass note is ICONIC and made me go YASSS GIRL but for totally different reasons
esc 2021 really set the bar high, i'm literally praying that this year's esc doesn't disappoint
I love how its…
Everyone else - Vocals are amazing and the staging is amazing!
UK - … that is a big trumpet… 😂
1:16 I may have cringed a bit during his performance, but oh my did I laugh with him on that interview
Missed opportunity about not including Efentix
i put them back to back🙇♀️
FYI in Helena's song is not actually a human violin but a human "lyra". It's a traditional greek instrument.
That's what I told
pls someone tell me I'm not the only one that LOVED ukraine
ur not the only one! it’s my fav song, and i know the lyrics
Same
I LOVE IT ❤️❤️
Me when I see måneskin: She's a icon, she's a legend and she is the moment
Not me crying over how beautiful Gjon’s Tears vocals are because I’m not over the clarity and soft power of his voice and how well it fits the song
I would add the moment of TIX removing his glasses and showing his eyes and, well, tics :3
I'm so glad to see every single entry represented here because they deserve it, they're all icons 🥺
“Giant trumpets”
@@Kittsim its better than nothing 😂
Well, I didn’t see Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland or Portugal in there
natalia's smile was so amazing to see, it made me love her performance just because it showed she loved it, even if i didn't like the song
10:09 Still love how Damiano is looking like: POOOOGGEEEEEERS THATS HELLA MANY
Love how there is every participating country included except for Poland 😂
And Portugal 😂
And Czechia, I think there are more
Nice
Estonia wasn’t there either
Missing for me: the moment TIX removed his sun glasses and showed himself vulnerable as never before
5:05 his vocals are really no joke
After watching the auditions of 2022 and returning here, I'm realizing just how much better this is. Those dancing pants were better performers than the entire second half of 2022...
"raw and unfiltered talent"
damiano that had to change some parts of the songs bc there were 2 cuss words: 🧍♂️
+ Efentix
+ Damiano kissing both Thomas and Ethan
+ Damiano's death drop and the end of they're performance
+ Italy creating an alliance with both Finland and the Ucraine
This are some of the things i'll remember forever of this Esc. Kisses from Italy :3
Me, not even Russian: БОРЮТСЯ БОРЮТСЯ
This is me😂😂
SAME LMAO
Lmaoo you know I think she was actually saying Молятся молятся (they pray ) but I might be wrong
And same!!

I love how you didn‘t include poland. Thank you we were embarrassed and hope we can all forget Poland in Eurovision 2021 😅
And Czech Republic 🤭
Is it just me or was 2021 one of the best years ever? I swear, I tried to remember which songs were in my top 10, and I ended up with like 30 of them...
This was honestly one of the best years I’ve seen as every performance had something memorable, iconic or was simply a really good song. Many of them went into my playlist, while I usually take only one or two, and the event was fun to watch from the beginning til the end. And I don’t even mention that sequence from the tele-voting results! I already start being a bit sad from the realization that next year probably won’t be as amazing as this one 😅
omg love how literally everything malta and cyprus did was a new point
9:29 Jendrik's reaction to receiving 0 televotes. Who gave you the right to be so cute?
Efendi and Tix side by side in your list
its 2022 already, and im sti obsessed with 2021
I ENJOYED EUROVISION SO MUCH THIS YEAR!!! EVERYONE WAS SO TALENTED!!
Italy really gave us pure raw talent on a plate
Manizha is our star ⭐ спасибо что поддержали нашу участницу 😊 with love from Russia 🇷🇺🌷
О русские
This year was so iconic and had so many great songs, I don't believe these people will be forgotten tbh... (people usually are when they didn't win ESC)
Coming back here after this year's Eurovision because 2022 could NEVER
my heart is going pitter patter every time Italy is performing
God bless Iceland
They bear Eurovision on their shoulders
I sure hope they dont have back issues
From carrying the entirety of ESC this year
The day that I found your channel and this series is one of the best days of my life
thank you💖💖
imagine not being European like the eurovision is something else i feel so bad for anyone who isnt europian
@Kendall Lawrence im so sorry for you XD being eurpoean is great 😃
Yeah, we tried to do an eurovision asia and it didn't work out (asia has a lot of sibling rivalry) so I hope someday we're able to participate in esu…
I have no idea what is going on but I like the spirit!!!
Looking back, this was such an iconic year with so many good ones
