Compilation of commentators' reactions to their countries' victories in Eurovision (1968-2024)

[@BLFprincipal]

I will upload the edited video to my secondary channel, so this video will soon be deleted.

[@ttheone3518]

it is still crazy that Norway got their prime minister on the phone during Norway's win in 2009

[@benjohnson3144]

Its crazy that its only the last 5 or so years where the idea of what "professionalism" has changed, so nice to hear them genuinely happy when they've won

[@questionmark3219]

18:40 The austrian commentator said "now she won this sh*t for us" 😂

[@ariccua6101]

15:23 Featuring then Norwegian PM, now NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

[@Davidg65]

Love all the Swiss commentators at the end there! So happy and excited!

[@Vinnytv7679]

It is awesome to see your country winning a song contest, I hope OTI gives back the song festival.

[@Asa...S]

20:11 "YEEEEES!!! OMG, Lorpan! (it's a nickname for Loreen). Loreen did it! She's writing history, it's the first time since 1987 an artist succeed in winning Eurovision one more time. Unbelievable! OMG, 583 p in total! Loreen has won Eurovision Song Contest 2023!

[@woutergoku12]

Nice video😊 and thanks for mentioning with the 2019 win❤

[@vatroslavmarkus24]

One minute of silence for all the countries that will never experience such moments...😔😔😥

[@emanuelesgarra]

19:40 - AAAAAAAAAAAAH! WE WOOOON! - IT'S US! IT'S US! IT'S US! IT'S US! IT'S US! MÅNESKIN ARE TAKING US TO THE TOP OF EUROPE, AND THEY DESERVE IT! AND WE DESERVE IT, WE DESERVE IT, WE DESERVE IT, WE DESERVE IT!

[@aniells77]

OMG The italian reactions are the best jajajaj Love you

[@manspetter9921]

Switzerland 1988 must be the first time the commentator actually celebrated the victory

[@Asa...S]

2:28-3:58 "...and that means that Sweden, as I just said, wins Melodifestivalen [He means Eurovision] 1974 with the song "Waterloo". And ABBA. Fantastic! Totally unbelievable, wasn't it perhaps, but one always hopes, but never think it will happen. But now it has, for the first time, during the 19 years Melodifestivalen [He means Eurovision] has existed, Sweden has brought the victory home, with the song "Waterloo" written by Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Stig Andersson. And now will the boss of BBC and also the chairman of Eurovision Sir Charles Curran get up [on stage] to give the prize to the composers of the winning song. Björn and Benny and Stig Andersson will get up on stage together with Sir Charles Curran in a short, short while. And then, after that... We can get to that later. We will get to listen to the song once more. But first, let us follow the prize ceremony. A prize that, for the first time end up..."

Some parts were cut due to copyright.

[@ComoEnBoticaVzla]

I think this include the Timur's reaction to Kalush Orchestra's wins back in 2022, and any Ukraine win... What a shame...

[@BLFprincipal]

That part was cut because if it was published in its entirety, the video would be blocked.

[@vikramleon]

Can you also do the same for Junior Eurovision?

[@agustingomez1590]

Can you upload each reaction individually?

[@Ryan_13711]

​@@BLFprincipalcan you do for junior eurovision too

[@DennisTheZZZ]

Hopefully, the next Eurovision will take place in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The first ever contest was in Lugano (Italian-speaking), 1989 was in Lausanne (French-speaking); 2025 in Zürich would be perfect.

[@anaidhd]

It’d be nice to have a Romansh hosting and commentary, too!

[@Asa...S]

5:45 "There you saw Daddy Herrey, with his shining grey hair. And this is a great surprise. Ladies and gentlemen: Herreys! The lyrics was written by Britt Lindeborg and the music by Torgny Söderberg. And here you see the very calm Swedish delegation in the audience. We're giving them an applause from up here on the TV-balcony as well, we can afford to be generous with that. That's Torgny Söderberg, he's bearded and happy. You also see Daddy Herrey. And to the newspapers back home I can report that your photographer is already there. Here's Corinne Hermés who won Eurovision last year, she's awarding the prize this year. And I'm going to tell you when this show is over, please stay seated in front of your TV, we'll give you a special interview with the Herrey brother. First we end this show, and then we'll be back with the winners of Eurovision 1984. Here's the medal. It's Richard wearing green, Per wearing red and Louis wearing blue. And let's not forget the backing vocals either, Anders Engberg, Caj Högberg and Lotta Pedersen. (Lotta represented Sweden with "Boogaloo" in 1987, btw)

[@Asa...S]

19:00 "It's Måns!!! Måns Zelmerlöw has won Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Måns Zelmerlöw, our hero! He's our hero, indeed! Sweden, we did it!"

[@BLFprincipal]

I thank to @Asa...S for his cooperation with the translation of the Swedish commentators. I also expect collaboration from others to translate the rest.

[@smashi1310]

1981 was the first time a commentor was happy about it😂

[@danielleheijboer]

"19:20-19:40": First Jan and Cornald, our commentators, are screaming of joy. Then: We got/did it. (a couple of times) O awesome!

@@RooiGevaar19 alright thanks for telling me!

[@RooiGevaar19]

@@jejthedoodle0023 at this link below you have their 2018 reaction, with Asaf Liberman and Shir Reuven. BTW, It was their first commentary as KAN, and as far as I remember, the second Israeli commentary ever, after 1979 one. ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrWeaB3lLutm7Msi=3n0EDXe9d6h6KtnG

[@RooiGevaar19]

btw they said that Eurovision would go back to Jerusalem... Whoops, I guess the Israeli commentators will be more cautious about their predictions if they win again. 🤣 Let's wait for 2038 then. 🤣

[@Erik_Emer]

I'm sure Timur's reaction to 2016 and 2022 is floating around somewhere; I saw the 2016 version and everyone knows the clip of Timur in the bunker.

[@BLFprincipal]

the one from 2022 cannot be uploaded due to copyright. However, the ESC Discord has the video of Timur's reaction on X (formerly Twitter).

[@Erik_Emer]

@@BLFprincipal Oh, what about the 2016 edition? Also copyright?

[@0alocin]

2007 Serbian commentator: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4CWp3R-oq1jbMU Basically, Duška is saying that "if the things go this way, you will see me on the stage because... that's the deal". When the last 12 points were presented, she said "Thank you for your attention! We have just won! See you on stage I have to do an interview which will go all over Europe. Cheers." , and left the room.

I love who the Irish commentator basically saying "Ah crap, did we win again?"

How did the Yugoslavians react to Riva's victory? That would have been an interesting one!

Porque falta a reação em direto do José Carlos Malato e do Nuno Galopim à vitória do Salvador Sobral em 2017? Um deles demorou a acreditar ...

23:00 what about Swiss Romansh?

[@BLFprincipal]

RTR (Romansh language division of SRG SSR) does not have a television channel

[@Unknown-dr4bk]

The Romansh programs are scheduled within the Swiss-Italian broadcasting, therefore important events are always carried in Italian.

[@AlexanderOnFire]

@@Unknown-dr4bkNope. They have some Shows in the German Speaking Broadcast, but that‘s it. This were the Italian Commentators.

[@Unknown-dr4bk]

@@AlexanderOnFire hey, my bad, didn't know that. actually i checked, and romansh tv programs by RTR are aired across multiple swiss channels like srf 1, srf zwei, rsi la 2, and srf info, not just the german-speaking ones. so yeah, for events like eurovision with romansh commentary, you might need to check these channels or the RTR website. although i reckon that they it's very unlikely that they broadcasted a Romansh commentary of the ESC.

[@thelogxd8812]

Hello! Im a spaniard and I've always wanted to hear 1968's spanish commentary, where did you exactly get it from? I've searched through HistoriaTVE and I can't seem to find me, you would do me a huge favor. Thank you!

[@rwspamsmith]

So how is it that every single Ukraine’s win was not included due to "copyright" supposedly? I highly doubt KZbin manually removed them specifically, so I have questions to the author of the video and why he chose to keep three victories for Sweden, yet not a single one for Ukraine?

[@BLFprincipal]

that of 2022 cannot be uploaded because KZbin and the EBU say that it is "blocked in all territories"
