[@tl9691]

Эта девочка у нас самая самая лучшая!!! 😊❤️

[@Beat_Note-ic3jg]

ага,голос у Полины очень мощщщный,особоенно,когда в live поет. У нее вообще в живую лучше петь получается

[@thenoseypanda]

Polina Gagarina is my favorite female pop star in Russia and I was ecstatic when she was selected to represent Russia in 2015! Jake check our her other music videos!

[@JakesFaceReacts]

The Nosey Panda She is incredible!❤️🙌

[@RobertHeslop]

Obviously not being Russian myself, after hearing her and seeing her release more in Russia, she’s my favourite Russian singer

[@MrZeuz666]

Paul Hart - Kill me... Edit: You could sense she was weird in some way and this is exactly why you boycott russia’s songs. They are always written by swedes anyway.

[@cherries_and_wine]

Paul Hart, this is what russian musical and movie industry basically is. You just don't express "wrong" political views, or your career might be over. I personally think that people with opposite views just won't get there, because industry is run by very few people, so it helps maintain illusion that majority supports goverment

[@thenoseypanda]

I like her even more now. :) :) :)

Rafał Dydkiem Machał I've always felt they are ugly. My mom said the second question she asked the doctor after my birth was, "What color are his eyes? Please say blue. Please don't say ugly brown like mine" sorry mom. Thank you for your kind words.😳❤️

[@meredithbrown370]

[@branislavpopov491]

Jake’s Face Reacts Your eyes are highlight of your face and, as we Serbians say, a mirror of the soul.

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

Branislav Popov I believe that’s the international thing to say about the mirror of the soul. In Poland we have the exact same thing: „Oczy są zwierciadłem duszy”.

[@branislavpopov491]

Rafał Dydkiem Machał Cool. I didn't knew that. Maybe all Slavic languages have the similar sayings, because they all have a same root.

[@Iamlocked8]

One brilliant song from Russia. Can you immagine our reaction for Julia Samoilova compares with Polina and Sergey Lazarev🙊

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Marina P I really can't understand it. You have so much talent in your country. She proves it.👍

[@katya15951]

Samoilova was political decission in last year(everybody knew that) and we're got this shame in this year..

2015 was a very strong year, I still listen and loove many of those songs

It was a three way race in 2015 with Sweden, Russia and Italy dividing all the top points. Russia came second both with televoting (behind Italy) and juries (behind Sweden).

[@evheniia_shevchenko]

[@annalatveiko933]

I watched yesterday your reaction to Sweden, you shall yourself watch it again and see how you reacted comparing to this act. When this song is really strong, that performance overall was breathtaking and very touching

[@olgastrassfeld3551]

Hey Jake, thank you so much for Polina💖💖💖2015 is one of my favourite ESC-years, and if it was up to me, I don't know whom I would let win - this masterpiece performance or Il Volo... the Italian trio was just awesome!!!! "Grand amore" is such a powerful and beautiful song😍😍😍

Вы правы. Но я лишь указал свой топ. Толмачевы и Маша спели прекрасно, но тут дело в другом. Просто скучно. Группу t.A.T.u. я не упомянул тут, хотя суперпопулярны были в то время. Мой топ и ваше упоминание Маши с сестрами - это не все артисты от России.

I simply loved Russias entry, much better than Sweden and Måns Zelmerløw ( my neighbouring country )

[@ankhefenra]

My own favourite from this year is Belgium. This year had one of the better Estonian entries as well. 2015 in general was a great year. Whenever Russia got points the audience booed and at some point Polina was seen crying. This was the first year Eurovision had anti-boo technology used, since they anticipated something like this and Russia had been booed before.

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

ankhefenra booing a contestant because of her country is really sad. It’s good to show disagreement towards Russia, but not this way, especially that Polina deserved all points.

[@XtraCille]

It sadly happened to the contestants from Russia the year before as well 😟 The audience don't usually boo at a contestant...and I believe that the first time was after Iceland had preformed in 2006...🤔🙈

[@ankhefenra]

Didn't people boo for Lithuania as well in 2006?

[@ЗульфияНазарова-я6ц]

POLINA GAGARINA IS BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL!!! BRAVO!!!👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍

[@olgabakida4248]

Jake thank you so much for nice words towards my country ) warm regards

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

There are some 2nds and 3rds places of Russsia in Eurovision that I found trully unfair not being the winner of the contest. Polina Gagarina in 2015 was one of these times.

[@JRRivera1222]

Politics, man. I think that’s why she didn’t win. This song totally had the potential and Moscow would’ve gladly hosted in 2016, should they have won. Russia and the whole Crimea situation led to Ukraine pulling out in 2015, of course, coming back and winning in 2016 with Jamala. All of that caused some backlash in Vienna and even in Copenhagen the year before. The Tolmachevy Sisters got booed in 2014, and still came in 7th. This led the EBU to install “anti-booing” technology for Vienna, especially for Russia. There’s videos by viewers of Polina audibly getting booed. Besides that, I think Polina would’ve won in 2015.

[@DavidHerron]

Right, I made a comment along these lines just now.

[@Marzi29]

I don't think there's any way she would have won even without the political situation. Generally the people and the juries preferred Heroes. Second is fine for her.

[@sanya1010100]

And let's not forget about Grande Amore.

[@tunderdiamant8651]

she didn't win because Russia. that's all.

[@mjm3091]

I would say she didn't have chance - because she was from Russia. Sweden and Italy killed it, but at least she would have some chances to win - it all depended on how viewers were feeling that day. Her staging was also pretty ok with the lights on dress so I could see even Jury change their minds for her if it wasn't Russia.

[@carin1466]

She was better in the final, she fearlessly slayed the last note! Thanks you are reacting to 2nd places, I can't wait to see your reaction to 2008's runner-up and to Dima Bilan from 2006.

[@EurovisionFan91]

Italy 2015 was the best, it even won the televote. I hope Italy gets it's first win since they returned soon.

[@olvr2271]

I'm so looking forward to your reaction to Russia's second place in 2012 😎

[@miralex67]

2015 was my favourite Eurovision year...the final was full of fantastic songs..react to this year...

[@Iamlocked8]

Honestly, 2015 was pretty strong, one song better than another. Voted "Grande amore" (from Russia), but Sweeden deserved this for sure. Had a lot of songs this year in play list: Norway, Estonia, Italy, Georgia, Spain, Latvia. Norway got some professional prize inside Eurovision too.

[@Madmlazel_K]

Take into account that in 2016 the three countruies on the top of people voting were Russia, Ukraine and POLAND - that was tha first situation when country was totally UNDERRATED by jury, it was last as far as i remember after jury voting and then it was thrird in televoting and totally we finshed eight. It was Michał Szpak "Coulours of your life" - i think the biggest points gap so far on eurovision

[@lucybrown9982]

Very inspiring!!! Stunning, Polina Gagarina!

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

2015 was the strongest year of ESC that I can remember. All the songs in top 5 could easily have won another year, but the competition was just SO hard! Italy was the true winner though, they should have won. And this comes from a Swedish person. Måns was really good, but Italy was better. I also loved Norway's entry, which placed 9th. You should do a reaction video to all the entries that year, maybe react to a "all entries recap" or something like that. My favorites were Norway, Italy, Australia, Belgium and Austria. Austria was actually really good but came second to last, even though they were the hosts!

[@raymond-alexanderanokhin2840]

Наконец то, не прошло и 100 лет) Polina👍

[@greglane8092]

As much as I like Mans and "Heroes," this song without a doubt should have won. Her voice, the emotion, and the performance were amazing. Russia has finished in the Top 3 so many times in the last few years. Some of the songs, like this one, have such a global message. I hate to say it, but it really makes me wonder how much the political state of Russia has to do with keepinsome of these amazing songs from winning, not so much from the juries, but more with the televoting.

[@TheLadySilverMoon]

Oh my god this song always makes me tear up, it's so beautiful. Russia and Eurovision don't always get along, but Polina was so sincere and honest and she was obviously moved by the crowds reaction. Her second place was so well deserved. Also Jake, you still haven't reacted to the winners of 2000, 2001 and 2002.

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Hello 👋 Thank you for your positive feedback about Polina, I'm really pleased you liked her song and performance 😇 Can I suggest another one? I wonder what you will say about Anastasia Prihodko who represented Russia at ESC in 2009 with the song called "Mamo" 🐱 in my book, her performance was one of the strongest, although russian audience was overly critical towards her unreasonably 😢

[@alexsandra5413]

Anton Tkachuk Приходько представляла Россию, а не Украину в 2009 году. От Украины выступала Лобода, Приходько посчитала это несправедливым выбором Украины, в России ее негодование все дружно поддержали и выдвинули, как своего кандидата. Реально не лучший выбор.(

[@antonmedvedev1128]

[@squall545]

i cant believe that Italy didnt win this year (they had the best resuklt ever on televotes with a lyrics/opera songs this was aweszome. You should watch it.

[@RobertHeslop]

Despite how much I love this song, if my memory serves me well, they had to use something they have at Eurovision to cover the fact that crowds were booing her.

[@catrionacolville2192]

You NEED to listen to the 3rd place song from this year. Italy won the televote and many think they deserved to win.

[@Nilssons]

The song was done by Swedes i think :) atlest one of the people writing it

[@UnknownUnknown-ki6zb]

In the lyrics she said: "We're the worst people, we believe in regime"

[@denisamrakhov2949]

The thing is, we don’t have any national pre-Eurovision contest, so Russians can’t really influence the federal channel decision. Sometimes it chooses great talents (Gagarina, Lazarev) but sometimes fails (Samoylova performance this year, for instance). I wonder we had a chance to choose a talent to represent our country on this contest. By the way, I was quite shocked that Sweden had beaten Russia that year. But considering the political situation in the world, I guess Russia has no chance of winning even with such a great singer as Polina :( Greetings from Russia! 🇷🇺

[@michaelmcr7741]

Latvia 2015, trust me jake you will LOVE it

[@faviolagonzalez2997]

Lemme say many in 2015 thought the same I love this song her vocals shine and staging is perfect everything deserves that spot if not 1st definitely! Also once you start looking at at 3rd place songs definitely check out my favorite from 2015 Grande Amore by iI Volo from Italy it's amazing and personally my #1!

[@estanymiks1489]

Lazarev Russia 2016 song

[@akkavelli]

She was robbed of the victory. End of story. A million voices is one of the best entries in the history of Eurovision. The song has a beautiful message and unites the world. The fact she lost to Sweden, that had a song that really didn't stand out as the majority of the world doesn't even remember the song today, proves that Eurovision lost sight of what it used to be and is all about politics these days. The music doesn't matter anymore. And that's a shame, because it's brilliant songs like these that need to be victorious and celebrated. My all time favorite Eurovision song is Love shine a light by Katrina and the Waves, A million voices is close second.

[@esclad]

Brilliant song, brilliant voice....She was terrified the audience were going to boo her; but they didn't. Russia had just invaded Crimea and this song was kinda asking for forgiveness if you listen to the lyrics....

[@d1sarmon1a]

forgiveness for starting a war, annexing other country's land? this song is bullsh*t propaganda, like many russian entries. hypocritical peace ballads sang in white, while they bath in blood of their neighbors.

[@lucybrown9982]

I am proud to be Russian! And referendum in cCrimea in 2015 showed that 98% of Crimeans voted to be a part of Russia. That was the good will of Crimean people. We should respect people's will! If you think Russia is so bad, look at the U.S. what they did to Iraq, Iran, Palestine... Germany and Italy with their Hitler and Musolini. There are many other countries you to hate! This is Eurovision - song contest, not a political arena, rememver that when sending supporting sms for t singers!!!

Oh, another wonderful example of brainwash. Thanks for your time, but I'm not talking to zombies.

[@tasha7640]

That they had referendum in the 90s and also voted out of Ukraine? You seriously don't know shit yet like spewing out the bs your MSM tells you lol go do some research first

[@d1sarmon1a]

I agree. I think she should have won. I believed that when I saw this in 2015 and I still believe that now.

[@jereg2]

Jake, please please can you do a review of the 1988 winner from Switzerland. You'll be hugely surprised.

[@paulnorfolk2597]

This song should of won. She scored a full twelve points from nearly every country on the left hand side but on the right hand side she didn't score high.To me in my opinion that was oddly coincidental, seemed fixed because she was totally the leader to win.

[@kaffegal]

Try Il Volo with "Grande Amore" from Italy, which was the winner in terms of viewer votes in 2015.

Julia Samoylova was sent to the competition this year only because our TV executives promised it last year. Everything from the video to the performance was made on the knee, a full rehearsal in Russia was only 1(!) time, so we failed. Have you watched Russian performance in 2016? It's really great. You are very cute)

[@eurovisionviveka5486]

I don't know if you go so much back in time as to 1988, it was a different kind of Contest then and no semi 1 and 2 BUT if you do please react to number 1 and 2 from that year. Switzerland (nr 1) and UK ( nr 2). This was the year that we got introduced to Celine Dion, she sang for Switzerland, thought it would be fun for you to see🙂. Switzerland wun with only 1 point and Scott Fitzgerald from UK came as number 2. I love your reaktion videos/Viveka from Sweden.

[@el_naif]

In 2015 and 2016 (maybe to mitigate the bad publicity of the Ukrainian war and Crimean annexation), Russia really stepped up their game and chose internally the biggest stars they currently had: Polina Gagarina and Sergey Lazarev. The result was, obviously, great. Had they kept the spirit of good sportsmanship and hard work, who knows, they would have won last year in Kyiv or in Lisbon.
