Best Eurovision Interval Week! #1 - Love, Love, Peace, Peace

[@TheSwedishKiwi]

This interval act is so much better when you’re a hardcore Eurovision fan and you understand every single reference! 😂

[@Helly01]

Mike and Joe are SO clueless! 😅

[@Felix84172]

It's also better when the person chooses good interval acts unlike this week which is not that good.

[@archergwen]

I made a playlist for my friends using this as a "here's the acts to see" guide :D

[@MarieSallaupHalse]

This is in Sweden, Petra Mede has been the host every time Eurovision has been held in Sweden since 2013, so that is in 2013, 2016 and 2024, and she is very much loved by the Eurovision fans.

[@tovep9573]

I think they know this and are just playing stupid for comments.

[@ehmzed]

Every single thing in this performance was a reference to previous entries! A masterpiece of an interval act indeed.

[@Sanchordia]

Petra is wearing Charlotte Nilsson’s winning outfit from 1999, Mans is wearing Dima Bilan’s from 2008. Everybody got that… right?

[@hearmerawrnow]

You mean Måns? Åäö 😉

[@mariedbk]

this interval act is made really for the pure fans of eurovision ^^ there is maybe 100 references about eurovision in this song, the clothe, the lyrics, previous winner or contestant, instruments or recreaction of previous scenography this is pure fan service and we love it ^^ but i'm not sure that a person who's not passionate in eurovision will see the same things as we.

[@ronnopotter]

Petra and Måns are from Sweden, and Måns won the previous year, so he hosted the contest in 2016 from Sweden. And Petra by now is a traditional host each time Sweden wins.

[@elina0301]

This is my all time favorite Interval Act from Eurovision!! Petra and Måns are just amazing together❤️ The humor, the timing, the great vocals, the creativity and the atmosphere they create together is pure gold🤩 My favorite hosts for sure!

Everyone’s opinions are welcome, and if you read my other comment, I hope it brings you some clarity about my choices. I also hope you find your inner kindness because I know everyone has it inside them. Have a good day :)

[@esthermonme4856]

I hope you dont feel sad because of the haters, Elina. Your list was great! Also this was YOUR list, if they wanted a different one, they could have made their own list and let people vote if they like it. Dont worry, this was a fantastic week and Im sure many people liked it. I really loved it!

[@ln8173]

You did'nt get any of the references in this video cause you have'nt watched enough of Eurovision 😂 Pretty much everything on stage has been a competeing song in Eurovision

[@birgittae9046]

Yes you have watched this guy. Måns Zelmerlöv. He won Eurovision with Heroes. If you remember the little animated guy on the bench. 😊 It’s Sweden (not Germany) that was the host, 2016, because Måns and Sweden won 2015. But this video happens to be published by the German television. Thanks for reacting to this appreciated Eurovision masterpiece. 🙋‍♀️🎶. Most of the elements they talk about and show in this performance are from different countries previous entries in Eurovision. So the audience recognize everything. 👍

[@elina0301]

Hi👋🏻 I just want to clarify a few things. First and foremost, these are my favorite Eurovision interval acts (with a few modifications). A lot of people wanted ‘Flashmob’ on the list, so I included it. ‘Swedish Smörgåsbord’ isn’t one of my personal top five, but we have some inside jokes on this channel that made it fun to include! (For example, Mike & Joe eat Swedish licorice in the video.) Otherwise, I was thinking of replacing it with ‘Mix & Switch Song’ from 2019. As for ‘Riverdance,’ I wasn’t aware that it existed. If I had known about it, I would definitely have included it! I also want to mention that I took the videos from the German KZbin channel because they had the most views and the best quality. I didn’t realize that this might cause any confusion. I hope these explanations give you a bit more clarity on everything.

[@johngaffney2908]

Should do this Mix & Switch Song’ from 2019 as they would know these songs from doing them already

[@vohol6158]

Thanks for adding some context, but you did well anyway! Internet (and people in general) just can be unnecessarily unpleasant when expressing different opinions and critique, especially when it's sth they're really passionate about (ie ESC). I'm sure you know that but I just wanted to add a kind comment and also just thank you for suggesting another fun ESC week!

I'm amazed you didn't know Riverdance existed. I've encountered people not knowing it started as a Eurovision act, but never having heard of it is more surprising! I was sure it had to be in any list of top Eurovision interval acts. But if it's just your personal preference among the acts you know, that explains it.

[@FeeITheRush]

I loved your list

[@vic_barros.delben]

I had never seen Eurovision, for some reason it never interested me, but I decided to watch it this week for you, and I didn't regret it, I really liked it! a list that makes someone who has never been a fan love it, shows how good it was.

[@Maca494]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS when i tell you this year mostly sucked and people online were all like "can love love peace peace win?" and Graham Norton tweeted "sadly not, cause there's more than 6 people on stage ahhahaahhaahah and it's all references. you didnt seem to get the violin guy in the beginning, but the audience cheered cause that was 2009's winner, Alexander Ryback. Even the hosts clothes were the looks of previous Sweden winners XD the grandmas, the hamster wheel...all reference to past years acts hahahaahahah

[@wedward9303]

Also Loreen, Lordi and the skater duo! Tho I don’t think this year “sucked” because the first semi final had a great opening act with Eleni Foureira, Eric Saade and Chanel and an interval act with Benjamin ingrosso who sang 3 of his songs. The stage was pretty damn cool too!

[@Addy1987]

This was Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm Sweden. Måns and Petra were the hosts that year because it was held in Sweden. They're great hosts :D The hosts are usually from the country that holds the competition that year, and it's usually held in the country that won the previous year.

[@philjb]

Shocked that this doesn't have the most successful interval act of all time. Ie Riverdance

[@Pilutta100]

Agree

[@SailorYuki]

apparently Elina is only aware of anything modern. She even states that in a comment above this. How a ESC fan doesn't know Riverdance is another thing.

[@christinesalomonsson1082]

Those two did the riverdance in another intervall act

[@PennyAfNorberg]

old now

[@Kristina-o3w]

Wow! #1, #3, #4 and #5 are Swedens intervals. And #2 (flashmobdance) is from Norway ❤️

[@gavinneedham2013]

The most influential interval act is Riverdance from 1994. Essentially created a genre of Irish dance and took the world by storm.

[@ZauvijekMoja]

I can't believe you did a 'top 5 Eurovision intervals" without 2019's 'switch song'. This is outrageous!

[@kevfitz8087]

This is great…. But to not have riverdance on your list… really? Elina…. We need to talk 😂

[@Sanchordia]

There’s so many references to Eurovision history in this, it was wasted on a non-diehard fan! Sorry Mike and Joe, please come back later after you have passed your Eurovision degree.

[@Beautiful_Doors_of_Sweden]

Yeah I had a feeling they werent gonna quite get it 😊

[@GullibleTarget]

This was lost on them. 😂

[@Flooweeers]

I mean... there's so many inside jokes. :)

[@GullibleTarget]

@Flooweeers they would have to watch all the competitions from 1990 to present day, to really get it😅 Pity they didn't show interval acts they could vibe with. Like the one at Eurovision in Rotterdam(imho the 'friendliest' eurovision in years. Zero drama, lots of fun).

[@divatalk9011]

Surely Riverdance has to be included. Decades later that show is still going

[@wouldliketoliveinthe80s]

This was in Sweden, too, none of the acts on this list were in Germany. Btw, do you guys, Mike & Joe, read these comments?... Anyway, along with Riverdance (Dublin 1994) this is absolutely one of the best interval acts, full of references to previous Eurovision acts, including a couple of previous winners on stage. So much fun!

[@JKFoundaStone]

I'm totally gonna suggest my reference week again next time because you guys may not have realized that *everything* portrayed in this video has literally taken place in Eurovision at least once!

[@JaNeZoKu]

Nice #1, pure fun. My personal favorite is the 1994 Riverdance interval act.

[@LawrenceAkers]

YES!!! I knew this would be the #1, and I'm completely here for it to see your reactions. One of the best moments in Eurovision ever filled with so many easter eggs and in jokes. Just brilliant! There are three interval acts each year - one for each semi-final and one for the final. This was from Sweden (Petra has hosted three of the Sweden Eurovisions).

[@wedward9303]

And three opening acts!

[@Rooosajenta]

And next, make a list where you react to every Eurovision reference from this interval act. It will be a Top 500 or something 😅

I never knew what Eurovision even was so thank you to Elina for introducing me.

Amazing list! Tho I think u forgot the woman with a cauldron (or if it was a barrel I don’t remember…) And also, those Swedish dancers aren’t that random… I recognize every single one of them (tho I have an interest in Swedish dancers and my favorite is in this video!). If you have watched Melodifestivalen (the Swedish national final show for ESC), then you will see several of these dancers on stage. Some of them have even been “in house-dancers” which means that they are in every episode of Melodifestivalen that particular year and therefore have a lot of time on screen.

[@tyrvthe]

@@wedward9303 I was more refering to the dancers roles as random, not the dancers themselves. I follow Mello just as much as the next person who makes lists like these 🤣 And yeah, there might be a few names missing

[@KeithAndrewPGbiz]

The impressive thing about this is, all the examples they give - the old women baking bread, the man in the hamster wheel, the piano on fire - have all featured in entries :-) But no, hosts are drawn from the country hosting, so both these hosts are Swedish. There are multiple interval acts every year because each Eurovision has two semi finals and a final, and the "interval" lasts about 45 mins, so there are loads each year.

[@catbitmaster8216]

Eurovision brings tons of enjoyable song, not just within the competition, but within the national selections as well. For example, Erika Vikman did Cicciolina in 2020 and came 2nd in Finland's selection, and it still remains one of my favourites.

[@lleevv1052]

It is definitely the best! Still love it.

[@petrahall7031]

As many people said, they are swedish. And the truth is that everything you see and hear in this song is a reference to different winners throughout the history of eurovision, and many of the people on the stage are actually people/band who's won/been part of an act that's won.

[@user-rn5tf3ij5k]

Petra has hosted Eurovision 3x, all when Sweden hosted. To answer your question there are usually opening and interval acts at each semifinal and final. They either usually a representation of the host country or past winners. They are mostly musical performances. However, Madonna and Justin Timberlake have been special interval acts in the final in the past 10 years. This past year when Sweden hosted again (Petra!), They had past Eurovision contestants as their intervals, Including a hologram Abba performance!

[@wedward9303]

Yes they had Eleni Foureira (Cyprus 2018), Eric Saade (Sweden 2011) and Chanel (Spain 2022) as the opening act of semi final 1 and Benjamin ingrosso (sweden 2018) as the interval act of semi final 1

[@cburns226]

Cannot believe riverdance has not featured 😮 tell me there’s another. Riverdance is regarded as the best Eurovision interval in history 😮

[@gigjoeSweden]

This song is absolutely packed with references to classic ESC performances. Probably about 40 different or so... And everything is live. A nightmare for the producers. And by now you probably know that it's made in Sweden and both Petra and Måns are from Sweden.

Normally when the intervals are on, i have my toilet break, getting snacks from the kitchen etc. I don't think though, that Joe and Mike will get all the references.... grandma's, Ice skater and I CANNOT believe, they still haven't seen Alexander Rybak with Fairytale (they would have recognized him otherwise in here). He is still one of the best Eurovision winners IMHO.

[@Ferdawoon]

As others have mentioned, this interval act was a parody of a lot of the more memorable and/or meme'd acts through the years. I believe you've already seen the song with the Russian Grandmas' baking bread on stage, you've seen Lordi. But the violin player is Alexander Rybak who won with Fairytales and became a massive hit, the lady churning butter was part of a Dutch (i believe) act where there were women churning button in a verry suggestive way on stage. The man in the hamsterwheel was even a joke in the Eurovision movie with Will Ferrell. The Russian man on skates is a reference to a year when Russia was pissed that they never won, so they hired the top russian figure skater to do some moves on a miniature ice rink that they wheeled up on stage and they also hired a real stradivarius violin for a LOT of money (which is kinda fun because no music played on stage is heard during performances, it is all playback and only the singing is live so when you see musicians on stage it is all pretend). It is a song full of in-jokes for the Eurovision fans and I think you might have recognized a few of them as you've seen some Eurovision acts on your channel!

There are multiple interval acts within the 3 shows. Usually one with something related to the hosting country and at least one with at least 1 artist from that country featured. Then on top of that often some sort of Tribute to previous enties or artists. The interval acts are during the voting period but there is also the openers to all 3 shows. You shold really get the full experiance one year and watch a whole show from start to finish including the voting!

[@oliviera.dochez2864]

Yet it still failed to live up to 'Riverdance' the real #1

[@In_my_own_mind]

The real winner should be between Riverdance and The flash mob. They met a lot of obstacles during the Flash mob because of the ash cloud of the Volcano eruption so it was extremely hard to be executed. Even the film crew had o travel around Europe by bus and car because of the cancelled and delayed flights. They faced several problems and had to scale it down, still it become a success and bonded all of Europe.

[@oliviera.dochez2864]

@In_my_own_mind no, that flashmob was a great idea, but the execution was not. The Rotterdam lit buildings got my hairs stand up and got me crying at he same time. That flashmob, however, just got lost in its idea. Flashmobs were a thing that was pretty much over back then, and though the idea is still one of the best in Eurovision history, the execution was just not. A lot of countries didn't participate because local broadcasters weren't interested, and the London part was mayhem. Also the volcano ash was an excuse as many other live shows through satellite had no issues, including the main event. Also the countries most affected were the once that got broadcast. Israel, Malta, Cyprus, Greece, etc... had very little ash. I remember this because I was working for a company to get people back home and we redirected them to Spain and Italy. Riverdance, however, will always be the performance that eclipsed the main event. It is so rare and exceptional that it can probably not be repeated. However, Petra Mede as an entity and everything during her three times as a host are just as groundbreaking as Riverdance. She is the best host by far. I can only see the Dutch presentation of 2021 as fluid and professional in the history of the song contest. But it is my opinion based on those facts I stated, and I understand why so many people think that flashmob was epic. It must be an age thing, maybe?

[@nacho_merinob]

Petra began hosting the Melodifestivalen in 2009, and then se has host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, 2016 and 2024. She also hosted the special gala for the 60th anniversary of the festival 'Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits' in 2015.

[@esthermonme4856]

The host are chosen by the national tv of the host country each year. So they are usually artists from the country which is hosting that year. Petra and Mans are both from sweden and they are usually asked to host when sweden wins (sweden wins a lot, so thats why they have hosted so many times) and they also have great chemistry together and they both have good voices, so they are often asked to be the interval act themselves, instead of just hosting the show. Other years the host dont sing, so the interval act is done by other artists. About the number of interval acts, you first need to know Eurovision is a full week of shows, so usually there is one interval act in each of the semi finals (tuesday and thursday) and the big interval act the night of the grand final (saturday) while they count the votes from the televote. Also there is the openning ceremony and flag parade which also include musical numbers, some bigger that others. It depends of the country which is hosting and the money they have that year to organize. But every year the bigger interval is the night of the final and that is the one everyone wants to watch.

Well, this is back in 2016 when Sweden 🇸🇪 hosted the contest after Måns won in Austria with “Heroes”. I kinda think you could’ve realized it’s Sweden when Petra says “Swedish kvinaböskel” but it does seem like you watched a video uploaded by a German channel so I understand the confusion. Petra has been the host of ESC three times to date, Eurovision 2013, 2016 (in this video) and this year in 2024. Btw, Benjamin is also Swedish (and half Italian) lol. I personally love this interval act but I’d love it if you watched the grey people interval act from Eurovision 2016. It was kind of controversial because people got mad (I don’t remember why tho). I like that one because my favorite dancer (who is actually also in this one, and all the interval acts of 2024 with dancers) has a impro solo and I’m so proud of him! He was also the one who was lifting Chanel in this year’s opening act, he’s a legendary dancer. Here’s a link to the grey people: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3rGdXWngZWfnJI

He co-presented our selection show, too, in 2018 (I think). Now, he's entering Melodifestivalen, in an attempt to represent Sweden in Eurovision, next year. I really hope he gets the votes to do it.

Really… he’s coming back? I know Loreen won twice, but really. 10th anniversary, I suppose.

Haha I am in love with one of the Swedish dancers in this video… he’s the kneeling guy with brown hair at 5:57 hehe…

Riverdance 1994 is the interval act that made the interval act actually mean something. Scandalous it was not in the Top5

[@catapulttriereme345]

The chorus was taken from "Zauvijek moja" Serbia & Montenegro 2005

[@PennyAfNorberg]

But they had no name

[@theoandersson8382]

[@benenty692]

[@tamaraandersson2532]

Grandmoms with a jar of sweets no one knows the origins of is a European thing too. 😂

[@nocturne7371]

There are 3 interval acts every year. One for each of the Semi-finals (Tuesday and Thursday) and one for the Grand Finale (Saturday). They happen after all the songs, while the votes are counted and the result can be presented.

[@nicopunktse]

Since noone mentioned it on any of the three videos with Petra Mede i just thought I would mention that no.. NOT Germany... It's Sweden... *rolleyes*

[@JKFoundaStone]

A *lot* of people mentioned it, but the reactions had already been recorded. Or are you just trolling?

[@zpitzer]

This was NOT German it's Swedish, but ESC is broadcasted in so many countrys, this is just not ripped from Swedish national TV. It's just a google away to find out that it was in Sweden. duh :)

[@Andjelka99]

Shame the switch act wasn't included since that's my favourite act after this one maybe even tops it

[@PatrikOhlsson-pq8jg]

German? Its was in Sweden 2016. German commentator voice at the end.

[@Bandido894]

What is this, the best Swedish intervall acts? Where's the best intervall act of all time: Riverdance 1994??!! There's also a lot other intervall acts, like epic Apocalyptica 2007 in Finland hosted Eurovision. Please react them at least! Not this endless Petra/Måns crap, which only young hardcore-fan prefer and even remember! ☝

[@katschaccc]

It's again Sweden

[@s.leochapman417]

Benjamin Ingrosso is in this list, but Riverdance isn't... that's a little absurd, to be honest. Riverdance is by far the most successful Eurovision interval act of all time, debuting to rapturous applause in 1994, before going on to be one of the most commercially successful stage shows of all time.
