So wonderful to see people from all over the world screaming out loud as if it was their country, I am German and i did the same. So happy like I never was before when my favorite country won. This is a special and remarkable winner!

[@joaoraulalves8279]

That's because for the firts time almost of the europeans were with Portugal. This was not only a Portugal's victory but also a Europe's Victory with a song for all people with refine taste!

[@ricardoveloso7557]

Thanks Europe for your Love to Portugal 🇵🇹

[@k.petrovic6128]

Almost everyone loved this masterpiece of Luísa Sobral and the magnificent interpretation of her brother Salvador. Reaction never seen: 8:25 and 8:42

[@thecraziestchicken]

seeing you guys so emotional about our victory... Damn. Is someone cutting onions in here? Much love from Portugal

[@lunaverse2]

thecraziestchicken Portugal was amazing!! Thank you for the amazing and beautiful song!! Much love and support from Australia 💕

[@haimdov1]

the guy with the pony tale at 08:55 is hilariuos with the flag changing. "oh....im not Italian, now im Portugiese" hahahahaha..... and 1 minute after he need to have energy and eat something because waving the flag was too much energy taking for him. LOL.

[@edison6861]

0:38 That guy on the left must really hate Australia, lol.

[@OfficialTomAustin]

The_PinkFlamingo You mean he hates Germany right?

[@Silverful95]

Good. Australia even didnt deserve to be in final ;)

[@edison6861]

lol. I must admit, when they were halfway through announcing the semi-final 1 qualifiers, Australia and Finland were still yet to be announced and even though I'm from Australia, I was at that stage where I actually wouldn't mind if Australia didn't qualify because I adored Finland's "Blackbird" so much from the very beginning I heard it.

[@alicewonder1880]

I loved your reaction guys, so emotional matt and sean..!!! mesmerising performance by salvador...!!! loved every second of it..

[@jlugoholt]

Portugal just touched our hearts and souls with the Sobral Siblings magic and art.

[@marialameiro4489]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MATT AND ZACK FOR THE WONDERFUL VIDEO AND ABOVE ALL AND SPECIALLY, TO LET ME SEE YOU BOTH, THE WAY YOU EMBRACED EACH OTHER, CELEBRATING OUR VICTORY! JUST BROUGHT ME TO TEARS! YOU GUYS MUST BE VERY SPECIAL AND CAN'T WAIT TO WELCOME YOU NEXT YEAR IN LISBON! I WISH A NICE TRIP BACK IN CALIFORNIA AND ONCE AGAIN, THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL LIVE STREAMS, WHICH I WOULD SAY, YOU BOTH WERE TOO, THE WINNERS OF THIS ESC, AMONG THE ALL THE JOURNALISTS! CONGRATS!

[@christopherhannaford6348]

amazing. this is true passion here

[@ricardoveloso7557]

We See you in Lisbon 2018 ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@catrionacolville2192]

Great idea for the hard cam Matt. Was that Sean who was emotional? I didn't know he liked Portugal.

[@luiss.420]

Que pasa con los periodistas israelitas? Tan raro les parece que haya ganado Portugal? En fin... GRANDE PORTUGAL!!!

[@zhiweid5130]

0:35 when Australia got 2 televote points, everyone is yelling and celebrating. LMAO

[@lunaverse2]

Zhiwei D we ain't even in Europe, I don't even understand why we're in it but I love Eurovision anyway Much love and support from Australia 💕

[@OshiyoNatakagi]

Lunaverse 루나 Story of Australia in Eurovision : for the 60th eurovision, the host country invited Australia to participate this song contest because it supports this show since 80's. Then time passed, the next host country invited it again because he was a great contestant and it continue the next year. So now, Australia is an "official" participated country for Eurovision. It have to wait to get the official invitation from the new host country. ^^

[@lusitanimendes641]

Portugal

[@Agju]

one of the funniest moments for me was when it was down to just Bulgaria and Portugal, Bulgaria got their points and I'm pretty sure for a minute there, they thought they won....Kristian got all excited and started crying (i think?) but then it was like, "Um you do know Portugal hasn't received their points yet right? which means their score was higher than your's and since they were already in the lead after jury, it means THEY won?" And then apparently Kristian and Bulgaria were bitter about it, but hey....don't celebrate til its over, man.

[@mrgreatbritain]

I shouldn’t complain because they were sympathetic to the UK but cheering when Spain and Australia failed? That’s just rude,the reporters should be unbiased and professional. They didn’t show that here

[@mattmitchell540]

Awww.....can I hug Sean too??😍😍😆😆

[@k.petrovic6128]

Search the video: Amar pelos Dois - Why it's different from pop music

[@Alex4u]

Shock for Austria, UK, Italy and Israel.

[@user-fb6kl1up1j]

Matt was feeling It haha I cried and couldn't believe nor process what was happening! Well deserved WINNER! thanks escYOUnited for keeping us updated this year! LOVE

[@Svetliosam]

Kristian has more points then Jamala 2016, Conchita 2014, Emmelie de Forest 2013, Ell & Nikki 2011, Lena 2010 ... More even than Dima Bilan 2008 ;) And more ... So Bravo ....

[@sarahherzog922]

Salvador got more😉 congrats to Kristian anyway!

[@aleksk4151]

yah indeed. Hugee success for a 17 year old, he not only achieved best place of Bulgaria ever but also the 2ND highest score in the History of Eurovision! i believe 530 was the highest record held by Jamala last year and he broke it ! so why do you have to caree if you win or not. You will save more money for something else . Eurovision is costly, keep your economy intact . Kristian won in our hearts

[@aleksk4151]

Bulgaria doesn't have to win to be great. It got 2nd highest score in Eurovision history with 17 year old kid. Enough spoken ! Bulgaria is amazing and the singer is a Prodigy

[@kevinbaldwin7093]

They did everything to make this weak Bulgar win, got 25th running. Bulgarian favor was sick. Bravo for Salvador. He was 11 and won. And no one favored him. Bulgar was horrible, childish voice and out of tune.

[@kevinbaldwin7093]

He had so childish voice in this age. Australian guy is in this age but his voice is much better and much more mature. And I know a lot of younger people with much better voices. talking about age all the eime is ridiculous. This Bulgar was the most favored person in ESC history.

[@ItIsGuido]

Netherlands 15 points? disappointed

[@peterdavies2287]

omg all that hugging was quite moving guys

[@thr4017]

I can't reach the escunited website for hours, what's going on?

[@rosamarialmeida]

Salvador Sobral, the best!

[@JakobTennisMB]

3:43 why were people happy when Sweden got only the 8th highest televote score? Jealousy?

[@manuelAc8888]

KarlEuro89 "only"

[@alexroll7375]

0:38 they are clapping because Australia gets only 2 points 😂😂😂😂

[@dmr.95]

10:30 😂😂😂 boy in right

[@firstnamesurname7152]

Wtf man. #OG3NEdeservedbetter

[@ssdieselx]

the israeli reaction was awesome, thank you guys

[@nickirafiei5306]

what is he saying at 9:22?

[@aure3742]

To this day it still makes me laugh because the lady with the Israeli flag you can FEEL how much she didn't want Portugal to win lmaooo

[@benthewheel30]

She’ll get her win next year though

[@erangabay]

Why is everyone crying

[@sarahherzog922]

Because it was a victory for music, not for mainstream sounds, they nearly all could feel that something special happened in ESC history. Portugal has no lobby, small country, sending a jazzy song in Portuguese. Wow!

[@BBA696]

Because for most of them the Portuguese song was their favourite song and Portugal won! A great voice in a middle of simplicity: small stage, no lights, no dancers, nothing...just him and his voice, which is completly different from the mainstream musics we listen all day!

[@robertrdlc5278]

8:54 LOL

[@Fatima502]

This voting reveal doesn't work very well in my judgement. "The country that received the nth high score ..." is too clunky. Neither of the Sobrals could understand what was going on. Will we never have another moment like kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXzFiKaXhsdkZ9k ?

[@gio0038]

4:28 😔😔😔

[@mishinha]

Acordingly not even the journalist can to the math and root for Bulgaria when they end in second place... c'mon!

[@sarahherzog922]

Come on, don't ignore the obvious, they shouted for Portugal, they even cried, the crowd in the arena was shouting Portugal. They won. Bulgaria had such a good result, but wasn't the best. There is nothing bad about second place, look at Italy, deserved it much more in my opinion, but was hyped to early.

[@mandarinasMDA]

Moldova!)

[@annam4750]

Damn I really wanted to see Kristian smash that trophy!😂 But I guess people liked Portugal more🤷🏼‍♀️ Personally I don't like Portugal but hey, runner-up is awesome! I thought he'd get 3rd or 4th😱

[@antoniobernardo3232]

What do you mean you don't like Portugal. The country??

[@fm_93]

Antonio: He means he don't like the song.

[@ya9716]

And I wanted the Kristian win :(((((((

[@Svetliosam]

Kristian has more points then Jamala 2016, Conchita 2014, Emmelie de Forest 2013, Ell & Nikki 2011, Lena 2010 ... More even than Dima Bilan 2008 ;) And more ... So Bravo ....

[@aleksk4151]

people vote for countries .

[@elinnilsson6875]

The way some people reacted when Australia recived 2p is not ok

[@valery4613]

Those dudes with blue shirts must have hated Portugal hahahaha they didn't cheer anything😂😂

[@renekmet]

Watch the gay themed Song Contest Short Film "12 Points", inspired by drag queen CONCHITA WURST's victory at Eurovision 2014: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6HdY4hnaN2LjMk

[@nikuy]

those people were not expressive at all

[@milsedd]

Getting so excited over something so not important

[@RubyChiang]

I was exactly the face the people made at that press center when Italy got only the sixth highest points! Shame on Europe!

[@calciotips7830]

Italy was robbed but Francesco Gabbani is the real WINNER! His song is the most viewed in youtube ever in the history of Eurovison!

[@RubyChiang]

bayan borisov IKR!! Francesco is still my No.1/WINNER!!!

[@pernikolaus5782]

Italy has about 60 million inhabitants ... Just 20 million see the video 5 times = 100 million views.

[@calciotips7830]

Portugal has 10 million but even half of them didn't see the so called "winner" once!

[@sarahherzog922]

+calcio tips Salvadors video was released after Italy, so you can't compare it. There was so much hype around Italy being the winner for so long. The song was a hit in Italy, so it says nothing.

[@sandrie2805]

I'm so sad. I really really wanted Bulgaria to win!!! I'm so so so sad for Kristian.

[@jlhabitan50]

Don't be. 2nd place is still a big achievement for Bulgaria. They already outdid themselves last year with Poli Genova and they did it again with Kristian.

[@sandrie2805]

True:) And I'm happy about that, but I still like Bulgaria's song more:)

[@pw9051]

Justin Bulgaria, we have enough of these kind of types

[@zumbaviriato1529]

I guess the saddest place to end up is really second. That means you were *this* close to win, but not quite and it can get really frustrating. That being said, Bulgaria was fantastic this year and the points show it: they ended up less than 150 points behind the winner. On the other hand, they surpassed the third by almost 250 points. From Moldova (3rd) to Italy (6th), there was a difference of 40 points. That means Bulgaria was within striking distance of Portugal all the time and completely ahead of this lot: both 1st and 2nd places towered above the entire competition! All respect be given to Kristian!

[@sarahherzog922]

+W W agree, Kristian has a very good voice, talented guy, but Salvador is a league of its own, unique voice.

[@therosejj]

BOOOOHHHHH PORTUGAL!!!! bulgaria is the true winner !!!!!

[@frapiment6239]

758 points :)

[@sarahherzog922]

Magic, genuine music won and look at the press reaction!

[@aleksk4151]

let them have it, after 50 years . Even if Bulgaria did that song last year, it still wouldn't win because people vote for countries and not for the best songs. and "Bulgaria " is very unpopular country. YET it achieved the 2nd highest score in the history of eurovision more than Jamala ! guys be fucking proud :D what's wrong with you people

[@kevinbaldwin7093]

They did everything to make this weak Bulgar win, got 25th running. Bulgarian favor was sick. Bravo for Salvador. He was 11 and won. And no one favored him. Bulgar was horrible, childish voice and out of tune.

[@kevinbaldwin7093]

This Bulgar was the most favored person in ESC history. And stop talking nonsense. Salvador won because he is amazing artist. No one favored him, his running was 11 nad he won with big advantage, was first by jury and televoting. He made arleady history, its first Portugal winning in ESC, I am so proud of him.

[@qwaarjet8547]

Sean's reaction here was amazing. Exactly my reaction when it happened. Congrats Salvador!

[@firstnamesurname7152]

Wtf man. #OG3NEdeservedbetter

[@abelhamaia8705]

8:30- 8:40 These seconds will be part of my heart forever ... always ... what I saw and felt was indescribable... Love you...

[@paulky7779]

4:25 My face...

[@BBA696]

Matt and Sean you both are amazing! Sean is so cute ohhhhhh:) I had the same reaction... cry, cry and cry, Salvador was amazing! It was incredible to see your hapiness!! Thank you guys for your great job! Next year we will be waiting for you in Lisbon ;)

[@vald6469]

4:25 Saddest reaction ever.

[@sarahherzog922]

Happiest reaction ever at 8.27😉 but I also would be happy to see Italy in second place instead of Bulgaria. Italy won the press award, Portugal the composers and commentators award. Italy was original and 100% Italian, Bulgaria not.

[@vp2794]

Sarah Herzog yep...a russian kid singing in english for Bulgaria.. That's diversity 😂😂😂😂

[@escvegi2076]

THANK YOU IRELAND AND SWITZERLAND FOR YOUR POINTS!

[@antoniocalhau]

Parabéns Portugal. Ao fim de 50 anos cumpriu-se o sonho!

[@autumn3686]

8:52 He already knew it will happen

[@rexhepkameraj6733]

I wish I could be there to feel that energy

[@thecraziestchicken]

Also, press room celebrating Australia only getting 2 points xD

[@Soyelpegamoide]

Jajaja el chico traia italia por su acaso

[@valentinaislandsofficialch4539]

I love the way you supported Poland when we got only 41 points. Thank you so much.

[@wellingtoncoelho5862]

A fair winner! #Lisbon2018

[@22994]

Alguém me explica o que aconteceu ao minuto 8:55?

[@BBA696]

Está a falar do quê, José? O que eu vejo é o Sean a chorar que nem um bebé pela vitória do Salvador!

[@22994]

Quando o jornalista tira a bandeira da Itália e logo de seguida a Portuguesa, quantas mais levava com ele? Não é uma critica, apenas um reparo.

[@BBA696]

Sim, não encarei como crítica, não se preocupe. Também reparei, lol...se calhar tinha-as todas dentro da mochila e tirava conforme a que ganhasse ou então só se é algum Português com descendência Italiana ou vice versa...mas foi engraçado!

[@DENIZ-js9sr]

Bulgaria was waaaay better😭
