This is straight outta Hunger Games
That's what i thought!! this felt like warriors entering the space arena
now i think Hunger Games stole thier idea from Eurovision
@@ok..9382 I think the first Flag Parade was in 2013. So it would be the other way around. THG was 2011.
No, outta Dutch games
@@annelisegray4862 tbf ESC adopted it from JESC which their first flag parade was from 2004 and which JESC has it idea from Olympics opening ceremony
the netherlands did an amazing job hosting this wow
Ikr, that's the best flag parade so far
You should see Austria!
When the hosts started singing I was like😳
What's your opinion about the hosts: did they sing good or bad?
@@chbvv92 they where good
They were the best (especially the blond one)
Yeah Jan (the dude) cant even speak english so i think he did a pretty decent job
That wasn’t live actually.
The hosts singing was really awesome
Netherlands was an amazing host country! Thank you for the show!
your welcome, though it wasn´t perfect we tried :)
Are you crazy, this is by far one of the best shows I've ever seen, together with a very strong set of great songs, this was by far the best EuroVision to date!
@@bixelkoven6645 I thought 2016 was chosen as the best by fans or something?
@@lucas_vermeire That's weird. Not to say anything bad about the organizers, but I just rewatched flag parades to compare and 2016 stood out to me as a bad one because that fashion show distracted from the entering contestants for me. In the Netherlands, they came in like the gladiators they are.
@@intrepidtomato hehe I guess :)
Stefania, she was the only one that came out with the flag 😍🇬🇷
That's a wonderful flag💕
And that's something worth bragging about?
@@IABITVpresents i didn't brag , i just mentioned it because i like it, that's all .If you don't like my comment you can pass it
I will say whatever i want 🤷
@@IABITVpresents This is just a sign of loving her country, and she is so humble
@@Prancyn Don't mind me I just thought that it's weird that someone can cheer on the only person to bring their country's flag on the flag parade 😅
I must admit a high HI-TECH level of Eurovision in Netherlands. The scene is like a space craft. Unbelieveable...I don't remember nothing like this for last decade. And I love this state because of techno, trans, rave, club and progressive music in which Netherlands are music-maker of Europe...❤🇺🇦
Doesn't come near to Israel's Eurovision
Israël was not that spectacular
@@noxiproful in my eyes it was.
@@rachelladiary Personally I thought there was too much going on in 2019 show (the unnecessarily long show, that out of tune/autotuned Madonna interval act no one asked for), even though they still did a good job imo. I love this year's show because it's a little more subdued and understated but still really effective
@@yanisp.4892 effective is boring I love grandiose 😁
This looks simply awesome, huge applause to the Netherlands for the spectacular show! 👏🏻
Thank you very much
Thank you!
Thnx🇳🇱❤🇳🇱
The flag parade is one of the moments I always look forward to
Too bad only Greece carried the flag
@
Ono Ramírez Omg same 😍😍
Same here!
Same !
Me too, from México
“Flag parade”
Me: *only sees greece with a flag*
Me:WOW WHAT A FLAG PARADE
Haha that’s literally me 🤣
You missed the flags on the screens 😅😉
@@JanWillemJanse And you missed the joke 😅😅😅
@@JanWillemJansealso they got the colors of cyprus and albania wrong. Cyprus their flag has no blue (as in they look like israel without the star of david. Israel used it too btw.) , and Albania have that Hungarian Flag even tho Hungary isnt in the 2021 version
@@francisabordo22 oof that’s not good
this is probably one of the best flag parades in eurovision history imo
But can't beat 2016 and 2019 flag parade
bro they messed up the first two flags😢
OMG if you compare the 2022 EVSC Italy production and staging with last year 2021 EVSC in Holland, the 2021 is soooo much more sofishticated and professional, it's fully from another level! Well done Holland 🇳🇱💪😎
In terms of global UA-cam viewership, 2022 outnumbered 2021. The best show used to be determined by its viewing figures. For 13 months, 2021 saw 16,549,410 views, while 2022 saw 16,564,088 views in 5 weeks. Why is this so? According to them, 2021 was superior to 2022. No comments because the figures said it so.
@@boytiti5446 Every year, online engagement for Eurovision increases. It's a natural thing. Also the actual show on TV had much smaller viewing figures this year, many might have been watching online instead as there was an increase in viewers for the online streams.
Italy's organizers be watching like "how do I upstage this next year 👁️👄👁️? "
Turin hopefully then :D
Well, i am italian, and I am quite sure we will fail 😅 and this makes me feel very sad because it is a big chance
You watch the 2019 show and Wright everything down from there
Sadly, as an Italian, they're more likely to be thinking "We're the best, we'll certainly do better", because unfortunately that's how it works and I really fear this kind of mindset. I really hope they will take it seriously and do something worth of the honour we're getting!
@@julietkay96 I think so and in recent years the production every year is very international anyway
Stefania was the only finalist who knew what a flag parade means (unless Iceland was planning to use their flags too)
And she actually looked silly doing it.
Kinda annoying how no one clapped for Italy cause they were still recovering from clapping for the Netherlands
4 hours later: Italy Wins 🇮🇹
Karma is italian 🤣🇮🇹❤
I know right! I was in the audience at the final rehearsal that afternoon and everyone went bonkers at Italy
Somehow I think Italy ended the night happy
But yeah, they basically got the leftovers of Netherland's clap
RIGHT I WAS LIKE UM CLAP???
This entire show made me proud to be Dutch🇳🇱!! Therefore I’d like to say thank you to the entire cast and crew! Also thanks to all the volunteers! You knocked it out of the park!
Yeah it was really up there with 2016 edition if not better. This flag parade is for efffin sure. You got it, baby, you got it!
Are you brother with Armin?
@@0000navel van Buuren is a common surname in Netherlands and Belgium.
Honestly The Netherlands did an outstanding job as hosts this year. Like everything was so well organized. All the little details and stuff, it was amazing.
As a Lithuanian I wasn't expecting ppl to cheer so loud and louder than to the other countries! Makes me feel cool about my small country:) 🇱🇹
I liked the song very much🥰
We Dutchies (from an even smaller country) really like The Roop!
But we love you Lithuania ;-).
Thank you for having me Eurovision Song Contest💫 It was such a beautiful experience. I felt so honored to produce the music for the flag parade together with a fantastic team❤️
My remix of Venus, following the Eurovision Song Contest, is out now. I hope yall enjoy it.
Love you all!
Pieter Gabriel
Echt fantastisch deze opening! 👏🏼🔥✨
Die tune is echt insane man! 🤩
That was an awesome track man! Thank you!
Is there any chance you can upload the track while the contestants are appearing?
man, where can I find a specific Venus remix? exactly from the opening :)
Are we getting a version with the hosts on the single!??
Our girl, Stefania with flag omgggg she is just a queen 😭🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💜💜💜💜🇬🇷🇬🇷
Yes the real Queen Stefania 😍😍😍
@@keb1b 👍🇬🇷
Γειά σου ρε νεφέλη

@@user-zu5it8gu7w 🤣🤣🤣 LOL
What a gig for Pieter Gabriel! He’s only 16 and has opened the Eurovision grand final! 🇳🇱
I'm sorry he's W H A T
Stefania and EFENDİ were the most beautiful girls on Eurovision 2021 🇬🇷🇦🇿
Don't forget Vic!
@@hannahbee264 Victoria from Italy?
Elena too
Thank you! Stefani was breathtaking as well! Love from Azerbaijan ❤️❤️
For Elena,Natalia and Roxen
*EFENDI IS SO BEAUTIFUL* 😍😍😍
Yeahh
Meh
Yeah
Yeah💖💖🤩
Rewatching this after Eurovision 2022. This show was the best in the last decade and will be legendary. So many good songs and artists. This years Eurovision looked trash compared to this one.
Thx
Have to be said, so sad and wrong for Italy organization...
But also artists who didn't join in with the contest but were able to do an act, were also NL bc we have a lot of known people. Like Tiësto, Ilse de Lange etc.
I agree with you. 2021.
@@dianasaucedo3371 🤌🤫
Iceland :((( I was so sad that they couldn't be there live
Why? Were they not on the finals?
@@elvenoormg5919 corona in the team.. so they used footage of the rehearsal instead.
@@elvenoormg5919 1 of the group tested positive for covid and they entire group had to self isolate and after going back to iceland another member has also tested positive
Eurovision Song Contest 2021 was simply out of this world. Everything about the production was on another level entirely. Vastly superior to the 2022 edition. The songs in 2021 were top quality. Best Eurovision by a mile. Hopefully the UK can pull off something as spectular in 2023.
1:44 best part😍 they sing soo goodddd
So generic :/
@@etnavv Who cares, it’s fun
Im really glad you liked it! All of our four hosts are really populair in the netherlands.
@@etnavv whyyy
What is the name of the song ? Pleasee haha
Man someone help those Iceland people.. they're still stuck up there
Lol
LMAO
ESC: How much level of European Pride you want ?
Europe: Yes !
I love how everyone was cheering for Finland. Fantastic band.
I can't get over eurovision 2021... and this flag parade was AMAZING
My mom literally laughed out loud when she saw TIX come out in his giant fur coat!
My mom was like "Oh, he looks cool. I bet it's hot in there"
Also, Tix was her and also my favourite singer this year :)
@@nadined3576 My mom and I liked his song, too (he's one of my favourites, after Iceland/Daði who is my no. 1).
The opening song deserved to win this contest.
Το να βλέπεις την Στεφανία να είναι η μόνη που κρατάει
σημαία και μάλιστα με τέτοια χάρη είναι τόσο γλυκό 😭😭❤️
Ναι ρε
Ακριβώς Σοφία!
Συγκίνηση!!!
The best opening just as Eurovision 2015 ( Vienna) in history
2021 eurovision was a boss fight...
literally the best intro ever made in esc history
Oh dear, seeing this now compared to what was produced this year 2022, it feels like we are back to the future. Rotterdam was crazy sexy cool compared to this year. 〽️
Songs were better this year imo but yes Italian organisation sucked this year so much...I expected way more from them
Stefanie is so proud of her country 🇬🇷👑 we love her 🇬🇷❤️👑
And we’re proud of her ❤️🇬🇷
This flag parade reminds me the Olympic games opening ceremony ! Very smart of them to show up like this. And the hosts very good I must say… I loved the way they sung “Venus”
Yes, i like the flag parade too, but in the Olympics all countries parade, even some pacific island-nations that have only one athlete. Here it's only the ones that compete in the finals. :(
That Dj is having the time of his life up there
iconic. hunger games vibes - and Italy gets to live in the Capitol
Thanks for amazing show Netherlands😍 from Azerbaijan🇦🇿
🇦🇿❤️🇳🇱
For the first time since i watch the esc i rewatched the opening alot. The music was epic and well made for an opening, the stage with the light on the top was awesome and i liked the dancing in it. I loved this.
Agree! This was epic. Felt like the start of the hunger games, in a good way
This was great! But did you see Sweden 2016? Blew my mind!
Who here is also nostalgic for the past Eurovision?🥺❤
Best ESC Intro in My opinion
Stefania is the only one who had the flag of her country. This is awesome. Well done girl😍❤
THE DUTCH HAVE AMAZING TASTE IN EVERYTHING!!! No doubt about that...always did, always will.🤩
I love the voice of the woman announcing all the acts.
Its never going to be as good as this!!!! The love, almost all the songs that where amazing, staging. Can we do this again next year please
In 2016 it was much better
This gave me mad hunger games vibes
Literally one of the best hosts ever!!!
No even
I loved Nikkie, but those another 3 hosts doesn't even come close to Petra and Måns.
the hosts sang better than most countries❤️❤️🇳🇱
They were auto tuned
No Han, they weren't. They are actually singers.
@@iSwaex I am from the Netherlands, yes they are singers but that part was definitely auto-tuned. Doesn't mean they are bad singers.
@@riemerbeets997 Well, I thought Switzerland was singing out of tune so I need to get a hearing aid I guess haha 😂😂
@@riemerbeets997 but you're right now I hear it again. Was fun to watch tho.
So many beautiful and talented people on that stage - the spirit of eurovision 😍😍 Congratulations to Italy 🇮🇹 👏
Thank you Netherlands for a spectacular show and for uniting us all once again - you can all be so proud 🇳🇱 ❤
Greetings from Denmark 🤗
2:04 Just now I realize the public is singing along!
Of course the Greek contestant would come up with the flag! 🇬🇷
This was just one of the best editions I've watched in years in staging terms! Dank u, Nederland from Italy! I really hope next year my country won't disappoint you all, it will be hard, but I hope they will arrange an amazing show.
This is a production level i have never seen before in our industry and i'm looking forward to future shows.
2022 was nothing compared to this
This song is amazing. It was even better when it's mixed with the hosts' singing. Love it!
It was soo cool that the hosts sang live!
This year i loved every single song in the finals! Also Netherlands 🇳🇱 did an amazing top job
Ooooh.. Efendi, she's soooo beautiful.
tix and effendi being next to each other is so iconic ✨
Netherlands set a new standard for the ESC. Atmosphere and Tech was amazing, even though it was still during the pandamic, without live Audience and with Iceland participating without even beeing there. Amazing Job.
there was live audience? every show had 3500 people in the arena lol
there was an audience tho
Standard for Italy will be high next year, i wonder if they can deliver.
1:40 best moments 🇫🇷🤝🇬🇷♥️
they applaused harder for the Netherlands anyway
The flag parade has been a great innovation
For those who are wondering ('cause I was) the song "Venus" is by the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue and came out in 1969.
In my opinion Netherlands was the best Host Country from Germany
Eurovision this year in visual terms was extremely EXTREMELY GOOD
Flag parade is one of the reasons why you should watch Eurovision))))
0:53 omg Albania with the flag of Italy 😩.
I didn't notice on tv. We're neighbors but this is exaggerated 😅
And Cyprus with the flag of Israel right before
I think there were technical issues
Thats Hungary
Yeah we dutch have psychic ability to foresee the colonising future. So we adepted in order to prepare XD
The augmented reality set worked so well
Still gives me goosebumps!
This is not the best opening but It's one of the most successful editions of eurovision
It went too quick in my opinion, but it was pretty efficient and spectacular lights :D
I felt the same. It was as if they wanted to spare some time for other parts of the show, like all the interval acts and the voting. It was still a nice opening though!
The organizers aimed to finish the show in under 4hrs. Tel Aviv 2019 lasted 4hrs 10 mins. That's why some segments are quite short, but pretty efficient.
Welcome to 'Dutch for beginners'. Up here we find it standard to better be early then be late. And yes the first minute after the said moment is to late XD
That belongs to dutch culture, keep the speed in it andmake things compact and efficient. Better short and compact, than making the people get bored, because everything is too long.
That's the general way of thinking in the NL. And that's not generally a bad thing.
“The Parade of the Flags... Just to make the evening a little bit longer”
- Graham Norton
I actually want Graham to stop commentating. He's turned into late era wogan and he's not amusing to me anymore.
@@occono3543 actually a lot of people find him hilarious, there are even compilations of his funniest Eurovision moments that people have made, personally for me he’s the perfect host for it, especially when we aren’t doing too well his dry and sarcastic remarks never fail to make me laugh :) (that’s just my opinion though, feel free to have your own, but quite a lot of people def do find him amusing)
Graham Norton knows that if UK continue this way, they will not host the contest anymore. so he can say this things 💁♂️
@@kittenesh I might have been a little unfair. He's not late Wogan era. I just worry over the occasional moment that seems a little unfair or rude. At the least he seems to feel like he's too old for it now sometimes.
1:45 love this moment :)
This felt like watching the hunger games but in a good way
It was so amazing, I couldn't do any other thing than screaming of joy in those minutes 'cause Eurovision finally started after two years.
1:49 i love this moment 😍
To be honest, I don't even remember the flag parade of Turin.😅 This was so good.
Is this the first time a FEMALE (voice over) has introduced the finalists?
No conchita has introduced the finalists in 2015 as well
@@bruh9548 But that isn’t a female voice.
@@bruh9548 Conchita is a dra queen and a cis man lol
I liked this year. FEMALE voice more good than male voices.
This is opening is just 🔥🔥🔥
Its so sad that Iceland couldn’t perform live 😢
What an unforgettable show we had this year!🔥🥳
Wat een opening , wat een klasse over de ganse avond ! Gefeliciteerd noorderburen 🇳🇱 !
Complimenti Italia 🇮🇹
Mes felicitation pour la France 🇫🇷
Unpopular opinion this is the best flag Parade EVERRR
I feel already nostalgic for this beautiful show ❤️
Absolutely stunning! And yes the openings in other countries were great as well. Personally i dont need to compare. I just want to see an opening that gets me into the right eurovision mood and i definately got a “yeaaah its that time again” feeling from this opening. So props for this years opening...lookedd and sounded great...gave a perfect vibe for me!
Since 2016, Now THIS is an opening.
The stage, the lighting... JUST WOW!
Lol i love how it was Azerbaijan then Norway. SO CUTE
i just LOVE the way Damiano bows in front of the public I go crazy every time he does that cause it´s just AAAAHHHH!
why do i get goosebumps watching this?
The fact that Norway after Azerbaijan🥲❤️❤️❤️
The best hosts ever😍 I loved their song so much!!!
This was a fantastic Grand Final opening, it looks like it was in SPACE
Tel Aviv: We had the best opening
Rotterdam: Hold my klompen
🤣🤣
Pfft what you can’t even compare the both Tel Aviv was the best along with 2015
@@lihiguttmann787 Nah this was made much more tastefully while technically being just as if not more impressive as the 2019 show.
