    Which moments would you add to this video? Comment!!

  2. I loved the german song, you can dance to it while quite drunk! Did not like the UK song and I'm from the UK! Italy deserved to win.

  3. Hey I respect that intro song very much, one of my favorites >->

  4. I'm pretty sure San Marino used about 90% of their budget to get Flo Rida involved!

  5. Poor natalia, but i feel that even she was laughing inside, once she picked the mic. Her huge smile and her "nothing happen" attitude was just sweet.

  6. Vasil comforting a crying Lesley in the greenroom after they did not qualify was wholesome. He was keeping the tears in.

  7. 444 says:

    What's the last song called again?

  8. YOU JUST MADE ME CRY! THANK YOU! I am from Portugal and I agree with you 🙂

  9. I still don't know who Flo Rida is and why this was so special to many people

  10. Unpopular opinion: I despise Manneskin

  11. Claire F. says:

    Jendrik teaching thomas how to play the ukulele was also a 10/10 wholesome moment

  12. ass says:

    zero points was funny

  13. Dyn y Jawa says:

    The monent I noticed that the winning song was gonna be performed shirts-off is when I felt HUGE relief that the UK didn't win!

  14. Lithuania is so underrated! I love The Roop

  15. The o point does not make me smile 😱 I'm French but the televoting which gave the first place to Italia was so amazing! It was so exciting 😂👌🏻😀

  16. I am sorry, but when you say that nobody deserved a victory more than the Italian, I think you're overstepping and that you're disrespecting the effort of the others if you ask me they won because the public liked them better, not because some made-up story about them sending quality entries every year and in their own languages.

  17. Jaja Ding Dong 😂😂😂

  18. Shadousin says:

    Funny thing is that technically the UK could have been the 11th choice for everyone being the 11th best song but not getting any points xD

  19. kayturs says:

    Gjon's reaction to not getting first is so unbearably wholesome

  20. vjollila96 says:

    even tho most of time I disagree whit juries Bulgaria and Portugal showed that juries are good to have

  21. Krstev 29 says:

    Uk song was underrated because of brexit

  22. Can we add how when Måneskin won Ethan just started ascending like
    👁👄👁

  23. i take it this is for gay people

  24. 0:56
    "Adrenalina's song"
    Excuse me what

  25. killjim 22 says:

    And the little guy from Greece as well

  26. babet says:

    when tix took his sunglasses off during the performance… thats gotta be my favorite part!

  27. Royal says:

    The german and british singer were literally happier than Maltas Diva

  28. O O says:

    Big 5 of three 0 point public answer

  29. James didn't deserve 0 points. :'( The UK (BBC) definitely did tho.

  30. You can tell that Jendrik just went there to have fun and spread positive energy onto other contestants ☺️

  31. UK gets zero from the jury and the public. Stupidity without borders!!!

  32. The only thing I disagree with is Italy. It was literally an Italian hatari,with cliché "revolutionary" sentences and pretending to be anticapitalist but at same time going to Eurovision… Ukraine, Lithuania deserved more, one for the difference and for sharing ethnic ukranian music, and Lithuania for the good vibes. Just my opinion, if you liked Italy is okay to me so no offense intended or planning to create an argument

  33. Adriano F says:

    Thank you for your kind words, for the Portuguese song 🙂

  34. Afrojack AND GLENNIS GRACE

  35. Vaidotas 💜🇱🇹🖖🥰😍

  36. 1:29 is just pure class. Germany and the UK- two of the 5 nations that donate to the EBU and they both came in the last two positions with Spain and the Dutch. That's photo is what Eurovision is- a community. It is a disgrace that both didn't get any televotes. Especially James- he's song was top 15 at the worse. The Belgium's also got 'nil point' at the televotes also. I just hope they all went on a pub crawl around Rotterdam because they're the true winners. Being able to get the middle finger by over 150 million viewers and still strung it off with a smile as like it's nothing. I really hoped they went to their own winners party that night. But pure class by Germany- it just shows that the 'old Eurovision' based upon values, community and respect is still there at least in their founding members

  37. The iceland Guy. What a legend

  38. I feel kind of sorry for James, yeah the song wasn't that great comparing to others and he had problem holding on a note but the staging was really good with those dancers and trumpets. I'm pretty sure this song will play on the radio through out the summer

  39. SaamDav says:

    The artist singing Titanium with Afrojack is Glennis Grace and OH MY GOD SHE IS STUNNING and a Great singer, flawlessly singing Whitney Houston's songs. Check her out !

  40. JOWST – Grab the moment – Been so long since I heard that song, I love it so much!!!

  41. Arjan 030 says:

    What made me smile most is all the off stage videos of all the contestants dancing like crazy during Ukraine's performance!

  42. I am going to highlight your comments about Portugal not because I am portuguese but because they were really really spot on. We do our thing in our own time. We might send a pop song, a reggae, a balad , a rock, heavy metal, rap, electronic, experimental …whatever. If it happens to feel right at the time of selecting a song we are good to go but never because it is an eurovision trend or necessarily an eurovision friendly genre. Also as we have artists that sing in different languages do not be surprise that at some point we send a song in spanish, french, italian or other. It will depend of who wrote the song and/or also the composer and the singer.
