[@Ayumibros]

To be honest, my favourite Host entry is.... Finland 2007! She really killed it!

[@SchlagerLucas]

I'm starting to smell a potential collab here. 😅 Super nice react vid as always. 👍

[@Lukeovision]

I am MORE than happy to collab Schlager. Let's do it!

[@paulojrneto]

The most self-sabotage host country entry has to be Ireland 1995. RTE would be dead at the prospect of hosting Eurovision for a fourth time in a row.

[@sebastiandumagat6948]

But uk helped them host

[@FilipGron]

2 fun facts about some of these Swedish entries. 1. Our Swedish entry 1992 by Christer Björkman. He is actually the boss of melodifestivalen and helps alot with creating Eurovision too. 2. In 2016 we sent Frans to lose but came fifth place. We literally had an interval act song called "Everything's Eurovisions fault" and was basically the way of saying, don't vote on someone who will win and was the reason we sent Frans haha

[@lydiaburch3944]

I feel like the host entries (especially modern day entries) send something really original as they don't have the pressure of qualifying for the final. For instance, one of my favourite host entries is Mamo, Russia would never send a Russian language song today for fear of not qualifying.

[@ya4ovek]

Hello from 2021 from Russia👋

[@lydiaburch3944]

@@ya4ovek haha yeah they really went completely different this year, Manizha was one of my favourites this year!

[@zondergezicht]

i'm from serbia and i dare to say oro is our best entry also nice style luke! :)

[@aduantas8609]

I love how you shout out the creator of the videos you react to, it already puts you above so many other KZbinrs for me

[@Lukeovision]

Oh bless you! It’s only right, they spend their time creating the amazing tops and compilations. 🥰

[@roelzio9947]

My fav hosts ever are: Ireland 1994 still listing to it. UK 1968 and 1998. Finland 2007. Israel 1979. Portugal 2018 deserves at least top 15. Germany 2011 whas in my opinion the winner of 2011. And Azerbaijan 2012

"Honestly you can just have her, shes just done the nastiest fart" ...i hope were talking pets lol

[@Lukeovision]

Pahaahahaha YES!! The CUTEST pup that I want to steal from my friend.

[@tonyjohansson7567]

A wonderful reaction! You're a star! 🌟

[@SchlagerLucas]

Also, I'm giving my self sabotage Roxen point to Sweden 1975. We had two other songs ("Bang-A-Boomerang" by Svenne & Lotta, and "Michelangelo" by Björn Skifs) that could've easly win the Eurovision, but instead we selected "Jennie, Jennie", which was *not* the best one we had that year.

[@Lukeovision]

Oh really??! I didn’t know that. Jennie Jennie was a bit slimy wasn’t it? 😂

[@SchlagerLucas]

@@Lukeovision Never thought of that. Only if you take it out of context, maybe. 😅 Otherwise I think the song is pretty intriguing.

[@nadirhajjour]

How Bang a Boomerang came third is still a mystery to me.

[@Furienna]

It is very interesting though that Melodifestivalen and the ESC were really controversial here in Sweden in 1975. There were a lot of anger from small but loud left-wing groups to the point that Lasse Berghagen needed security to be safe from attacks. And even the executives at TV complained about how expensive this was going to be. So all in all, there was less joy about the fact that we hosted the ESC for the first time than there should have been. To keep all of the complainers happy, Sweden even skipped the contest in 1976. 😒

[@zoharamitai8719]

17:30 still shocked this was a Eurovision entry. This song is played in every birthday party I've ever been too, my parents usually wake me or my brother up with this song blasting on our birthdays 24:05 this was 100% a self sabotage I can tell you that.

[@escsingaporegirl3553]

flashback friday is the time luke remember random songs from shlager lucas randomly 🤣😂 and underated songs. And 1957 germany was the first prop ever used in esc and my fav song is 1966

[@ZakhadWOW]

LUKE I wil disagree on Norway 2010.. Didrik Won a voting contest.. the people didnt vote in order to lose.. he was just a huge sentimental favorite.. as he and his brother were THIS year before they got buggered but good by that fiasco with MGP .

[@cysterforever1861]

Everyone in Norway loves that song🥺😂

[@Ogeroigres]

Norway 1996 is definitely not very 80's, it's very mid-90's.

[@degviela]

The Netherlands 2020 wasnt a sabotage i think people are really underrating this song,the song is just amazing its difrent type of sound for Eurovision,i like when countries at least take risks and arent safe,if you would hear it live its just a moment i didnt expect it to win but i think it would be at least left side of scoreboard.

[@Lukeovision]

But you just kind of said it was? "I didn't expect it to win, but I think it would be at least left side of the board" but they didn't set out to win with the song? I'm not saying I don't like it because I do! But do you see what I mean?

[@degviela]

@@Lukeovision I think for a home entry its much harder to get a win,if they are lucky top 5 is the best thing it can get,i am not saying its impossible but its much harder,lasst time it happend it was in 90s,but Eurovision now days are much difrent and more competitive,home entries are often overlooked.

[@Aerysun]

@@Lukeovision I like host entries being more experimental, since it is guaranteed to be in the final. It's great for the diversity of styles in the contest.

[@salrk]

There's quite a few winners I have among these, so I'll just list em rq :) 1971 - Angela Farrell - One Day Love (Unpopular opinion, I know) 1973 - Anne-Marie David - Tu te reconnaîtras (My favorite ESC Song ever!) 1980 - Maggie MacNeal - Amsterdam 1984 - Sophie Carle - 100% d'amour (My least popular personal winner :,), super unpopular opinion) 1990 - Tajci - Hajde da ludujemo 1998 - Imaani - Where Are You? 2001 - Rollo & King - Never Ever Let You Go 2004 - Athena - For Real I actually love most of the host entries, so I couldn't list every song I liked :)

[@Cha-Charli]

Portugal 2018 is one of my absolute faves! Deserved higher position

[@Lukeovision]

TASTE!!

[@aijamberisabel]

I thought you were going to give 🇬🇷 2006 a self sabotage because of your initial reaction. Glad you did not. 😂.

[@JaNeZoKu]

My faves: 1973 Luxembourg 1990 Yugoslavia 1996 Norway

[@norasvinsaas4343]

Just so you know, we in Norway does the exact same thing as Sweden in voting our entry. So Soli-Tangen was there because the people of Norway wanted him to be there.

[@MissCaraMint]

Except that one time Jahn Teigen won MGP the 4th time and we for some reason didn't send him. WHy? Let the man go as many times as he wants. Or maybe they were staging an intervention. Edit: Scratch that that was the first time he won...

[@Sinan-nv9qy]

1990 - C'mon Barbie let's go party!

[@tovekauppi1616]

Fun fact: the Swedish entry in 1992 was sung by Christer Björkman who now owns melodifestivalen and is well on his way to owning Eurovision too.

[@aijamberisabel]

France 🇫🇷 1961 was the og troll/parody/comedy entry. There is nothing serious about it and I love it!

[@jakobwithak9979]

Portugal 2018 was not a sabotage imo. The musictaste in Portugal is just very different than in the rest of Europe. Therefore they often send very diffrent stuff than all the other countries.

[@josefine7095]

I feel like you should do a react video to norway's entry in 1986 since you liked it so much :D

[@Furienna]

11:20 They are supoosed to look like stars, since the song is about horoscopes.

[@kevindeering1457]

i think the host country nailed it from 2004-2010, i really like all of them 2011: good but a bit overrated 2012: good but 4th is a bit high for it imo 2013: love it my runner-up for 2013 2014: love it, deserved its top 10 finish 2015: love it didn't deserve to finish anywhere near last 2016: love it my 3rd of 2016 (also my 3rd for melfest 2016) 2017: like it but can't say it deserved better 2018: definitely not a roxen, has grown on me recently 2019: maybe a bit of a roxen but i like it 2020: its good, i can see how some people love this Shoutout to Luxembourg 1973, Yugoslavia 1990 and of course Ireland's 1993 and 1994 winning songs

[@sannev8407]

In 1994, they actually tried to lose, but they failed miserably and won hahaha

[@Lukeovision]

Oh my goodness! how funny!

[@thesnesgeek]

Isn't Boys do cry a classic Disney-esque entry?

[@rudiknol3912]

The UK stepped in as host quite a few times when the winning country could not organize it. Germany and the Netherlands have done that too but only 1 time. The first UK win was in 1967.

[@kristijanEX]

Host nations get a power boost after winning, nearly all of these are great.

[@dvdb59]

In my opinion it is a taste in music, two songs that got the zero were my fav and are in my playlist...

[@Lukeovision]

It wasn't a Zero point Dick, did you see the intro? It was a Roxen point :)

[@dfdeejay7632]

Tajči 1990 was the best🙂

[@EmoBearRights]

The UK hosted a lot as we had a tendancy to come second and winners felt they could say no to hosting if they'd already won too many times.

[@habababooboogaga3688]

Woah

[@TumbleTower]

Thank you for producing this video Luke. Here are some host songs which I feel were self-sabotage songs (or as I tend to call them, suicide songs): Ireland 1995 - to me it sounds quite dull / sleepy song; I've often wondered if they sent that to try and finish last with 0 points and get relegated from taking part in 1996. Put it this way, after 3 years of winning and thus hosting, I get the impression they certainly didn't want to win for the 4th year running. Sweden 2000 - I don't think much of "When Spirits Are Calling My Name" - it's clearly one they wanted to get a reasonable score (enough to keep their 5 year average high enough to qualify for 2001) but definitely not win. Ukraine 2005 - to me it sounds like a protest chant, they clearly didn't want to win again. Ukraine 2017 - another song which clearly had no hope of top 10 let alone winning. Put it this way, I thought it was a poor effort compared to several of their other songs from the preceding 10 years. Portugal 2018 - a poor effort compared not just to their 2017 runaway winning song, but also some of their other entries over the years (even some of their non-qualifying entries). Netherlands 2020 - nothing like as good as "Arcade" in 2019. I don't think this would have qualified from the semi-finals. Since you made this video, the ESC 2021 has been and gone. How would you rate the 2021 Dutch entry Jeangu Macrooy "Birth of a New Age"?

[@TumbleTower]

... and since I first watched this, and left the above comment, the ESC 2022 has been and gone. How would you rate Italy's 2022 entry Mahmood and Blanco "Brividi"?

[@saranissen6210]

I actually agree with you on your Roxen points. Even though there are some others, where I had my doubts if it was self sabortage or not. Norway 2010 should have sent A1; just in my opinion. (They came 2nd in the national final with I Don't Want To Lose You Again) Love your enthusiasm towards most of the songs(Luxembourg 1984, Jugoslavia 1990 and Denmark 2001+2014 to name a few) and your reaction to Sweden 1975 Jennie Jennie was hillarious 😂

[@Lukeovision]

Oh my gosh, "Jennie Jennie" that was so seedy! hahahahaaha! I have literally no filter. Thanks for your input Sara! Always really valuable and I love seeing what you think!

[@chalphon4907]

Can someone please explain the concept of "Roxen points", what's the origin of that?

[@Lukeovision]

Hey! Sure! So I gave it a “Roxen point” based on self sabotage from her cherry red performance. People were saying that she purposely put 0 effort into it in order for her favourite to win the national selection :)

Since the previous videos I have listened to the songs again, I have a lot of Eurovision songs on my library on shuffle, so when I heard it for the first time (when I said I didn’t like it) I then popped it in my playlist. So maybe it has been engraved a little more? Just a thought 😘

Did you ever see linda Martin a few years ago kicking off on the show where they decided who gets to represent Ireland?

@@emmetwade9381 Yeah no worries! I get it can be odd because I can not like a song for AGES and then suddenly it clicks with me (Salvador for example) The first video was me not really being familiar with 1994, then id heard it a few more times and it started to sink in :)

[@sutej72]

Sweden always send to win.

[@sharkfinn4]

Can confirm that an embarrassingly large part of the Swedish population actually thought "If I were sorry" was a good song... Frans winning over Oscar Zia's "Human" in Melodifestivalen that year is how we know we're living in the shitty parallel universe.

[@sharkfinn4]

Our 2016 host entry in the timeline were Hilary won the election, Corona is still just a drink, and Odin didn't cast us out of Asgård for sinning against music by sending "If I were sorry" instead of this certifiable masterpiece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooHao2meg9qspNk

[@Lukeovision]

No way!!! That’s shocking to me 😱

[@sharkfinn4]

@@Lukeovision And Oscar Zia's song had such a powerful and deeply personal message. I'm still in awe of him for choosing to come out ahead of the competition, in part because he felt like that was the only way he could perform it with 100% authenticity.

[@Denis-89]

Hmm. Yet that song was the years biggest ESC hit, and its still being played. So clearly the hate only seems to come from extreme fans who have images of what a ESC song should be like

[@sav0001]

Fran's song did relatively well in Europe, reaching the number 1 spot in Poland and top 3 in Austria and the Czech Republic as well as the top 20/30/40 in many other European countries, so the public did indeed like it.
