Eurovision 2017 Reaction Recap to ALL Grand Finalists!

[@inercia7107]

you're such a great guy, so emotional, so sensitive with the music, with sense of humour and great taste in music. i adore you :)

[@ErikDaVinci]

Simple rule; When the host country (This case Ukraine) send a bad song it means "Please we do not afford to host this event next year again". ;-)

[@el_naif]

To call Time "a bad song" is just wrong,

[@Liiiiiooon]

Carlos Grimaldo don't forget Germany 2011. They wanted so desperately to host again! :P

[@Liiiiiooon]

Carlos Grimaldo Yea, did you hear the rumours at the moment? They maybe wanna host esc 2019 in Germany because Israel is not sure at the moment because of the whole boycott things and the political situation there. What do you think about that? :D

[@Liiiiiooon]

Carlos Grimaldo Yea, maybe. But you never know, so many people from all around the world want the contest in Germany. It would be cool, but we shouldn't forget how Israel has to feel at the moment. If they really host the contest in another country, it would be pretty sad for them tbh.

[@Craig-rj4gx]

Gysan well that didn't work the year before. Ukraine still won with sending a bad song.

[@DiogoF.]

Your reaction to Portugal's Salvador song was epic :)

[@esclad]

Belgium was so nervous... studio version is wayyyy better :) Poland amazing but she was performing in 2nd spot (from which no contestant has ever won). So odds against her immediately. Do you know what the Barbara Dex Award is yet? lol.

[@lovememo]

Oh, Hungary was also one of my personal favorites

[@JakesFaceReacts]

nelly9dg He was so good. I didn’t need subtitles to understand the story he was telling.

[@viktoriafekete6797]

I'm from Hungary

[@joseyarur2369]

My third place after Portugal and Moldova Bulgaria coming 4th and Armenia 5th

[@mentonerodominicano]

"Bless his heart" spoken like a true Southerner.😂😂😂

[@weirdofrompluto]

oh my god I died at your reaction to Spain cause that was collectively everyones response when that horrid song came on.

[@YoIvyXO]

Indeed, I think it is the first song that even us, spaniards, wanted it to lose hard. But well, at least it is a deserved one for not breaking our bottom record xD.

[@vampy8334]

I hope you have listened to everything Salvador Sobral on the internet. If not you're missing out on soul fulfilling goodness. The first time I've ever seen the Eurovision live audience that quiet and meditative during a performance. He was a winner whether he won or not.

[@friswing]

I Agree, Hungary is sooo Good!

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Eva Swingo I’m glad other people loved him. I kind of felt like I was the only person who loved his performance.

[@friswing]

Thanks!

[@monikaw6340]

There were many of us, just juries didn't love him that much I dont know why. My oersonal favourities Hungary & Azerbaijan glad to see you also like them

[@dmitryonischenko9880]

For me it was best song on that Eurovision. I've voted by Hungary.

[@BloodpactORG]

Hungary perfectly illustrates why the vast majority still send songs in English without any ethnic influence. The best ethnically-inspired song since Secret Garden still couldn't win. Well, he was my winner in 2017.

[@МиколаКостюк-ъ3п]

Where is reaction to Verka Serduchka)?

[@zakharko7720]

Микола Костик Yes, where is ESC Queen forever?!!

[@kaitlins2934]

Yesss I need to see this

[@evgeniiae4871]

My winner that year is Blanche - City Lights (Belgium)

[@johnmoynahan874]

Totally understand your excitement Jake The Eurovision is like herpes.......the gift that keeps giving!😂😂 I'm going to Lisbon and it's the first time I'll be attending the festival....so excited you wouldn't believe!!👍👍👍 Keep up the great work !

[@veikkokurvinen]

Believe me it will be best experience what you will ever get. My dad bought tickets to Helsinki 2007 when I was about 7 years-old

[@flaneurgh]

I must admit I only watch your videos because you're one hot cub, but I'm really happy you finally did "Molitva". Greets from Serbia (sorry for our this year's entry, btw).

[@musicc9281]

Thanks God our entry this year is much better.. 🇩🇪

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Musicc 9 Like worlds apart. Love Germany this year!

[@musicc9281]

Jake’s Face Reacts Thanks! Did you see the rehearsal footage on Google? This is just amazing!

[@littlemisslegge8802]

Love your reactions - fantastic idea - thanks for sharing. Regards from Australia

[@9TheWorldIsYou6]

Oh, you have the same favourites as I had when I was watching it last year :))) Hungary, Norway and Azerbaijan were simply amazing, still in my playlist) As for Ukraine, we just didn't need the victory then:)))) So we've saved the best for this and further years)

[@Agju]

sorry for the long previous post lol. have you done a separate reaction video for Amar Pelos Dois? I'd like to see that. :)

[@OshawottLuke]

There's a meme with Poland this year. They were represented with the song "Flashlight" last year and now they're bringing "Light Me Up". I have O'G3NE's "Lights and Shadows", Dihaj's "Skeletons", O.Torvald's "Time", Blanche's "City Lights", Alma's "Requiem" and Tamara Gachechiladze's "Keep The Faith" in my playlist and I listen to them one time per week at least. And I'm still a little mad because "Keep The Faith" didn't reach the final but "This Is Love" did. About Spain, it was such a tough year. The televote didn't want that song at all. One of the juries who was part of the jury vote in the National final had connections with Manel, and he broke the rules because they mustn't have had connections with the representants. Manel received a LOT of hate and his voice crack was a meme for weeks. He had to represent the country with a song which was not of his style because that's the song they gave to him (I feel like I'm gonna request songs forever, even though this is a special request, but even if you don't react to it maybe someone will watch it). He performed one of his own songs on May 16th of 2017, days after Eurovision: starts at 0:55 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rafOqWSPqa50i80 .

[@808heartbreak9]

Please react to the 2016 recap video, one of the highest quality eurovisions in a while

[@mirroroffthewall5932]

Did you watch 2017 semi finals?

[@VICKY08TZ]

Same favorites for 2017! 👌 You don't know what Eurovision means to some of us here in Europe, we grew up with it ❤️ I'm so excited for this year!

[@emilyx33x]

I saw the time this was uploaded and thought, “Is he mad?” Then I remembered time zones.

[@ESCArthur]

What is your languages Jake ? Nice video

[@carloscamejo391]

"Bless your heart" is Texas for "There is nothing redeeming about this, end it now."

[@patrickm4349]

Will you do the same for 2016? It would be great!

[@luciabaptista5994]

Love your channel , you are the best thank you... you are like "amar pelos dois"😍

[@najrenchelf2751]

Yodel It is the classic case of a risk taker. Some hate it, and some like me - ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! 😍

[@xibalba93]

Russia 2006, 2nd place, Dima Bilan - Never let you go

[@TheS1981]

Hungary is also one of my all time favorites :) Love this and Freddie's song

[@LeNaInLoVe]

YEAY! Hungary

[@angyliv8040]

Hungary was also one of my favorites. Beautiful!

[@mirakjemo1768]

Armenia, Hungary and Norway were my personal favourites at the live-shows in 2017. Good songs with performances that matched them so well. Before the show I also liked Belgium's and France's songs, but their live-performances were not up to par. Hope you get the chanse to see earlier live-shows in full some time!

[@schadesloth7933]

Jake, I'm not sure whether anyone requested it but can you react to the winner of 1997 ESC, Katrina and the Waves representing the UK, my country. Katrina is actually American so you get to take some credit :D

[@rickjr37]

Germany screwed up by not letting Levina perform “Wildfire” instead. It was the audience choice at the national selection. The reason “Perfect Life” sounds like “Titanium” because both were written by the same people.

[@kaitlins2934]

God no, Wildfire's chorus was extremely annoying, especially after a couple listens

[@baktom]

Please do the same thing for yrs 2016 and 2015.

[@MizSazz]

denmark’s singer Anja won the voice in australia a few seasons ago(her parents are from there and shes been working on her music over there)

[@dajnova1148]

Lol did you just Texas-curse at Spanish entry? Lol 😅😆🤣

[@limitedexperience492]

Tone is EVERYTHING for "bless your/his/her/their heart". It can be a sincere blessing or "good job, hon!", it can be (polite but) withering acidic hatred, or a dozen other things ... and in this case, it can be "you poor pitiable thing, you mean well, but you poor sad thing".

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Tatiana Vyrvich Texas curse? Lol. 😂

[@dajnova1148]

Jake’s Face Reacts lol that’s what I was told it means in the south. 😂

[@dajnova1148]

Also I think I was the only one who didn’t mind Spanish song lol cute, summery, made me wanna go to the beach and have a mojito lol

[@Zubiila]

Tatiana Vyrvich I didn't mind the Spanish song either. It's a nice summer song.

[@rickjr37]

The first US airing was in 2016,Stockholm. I have the DVD. Justin Timberlake performed “Can’t Stop The Feeling” from “Trolls” during the Grand Final but it’s not on the DVD,nor was it shown in the USA for “rights issues”.

[@ronnopotter]

Richard Stegman Jr I came to say the same thing! I've heard Jake saying 2017 was the first time but that is not correct.

[@tinaolsen990]

Thanks for liking Anja/Denmark

[@heldercastro6216]

Hey Jake! Loving all the Eurovision Reaction Videos!!! I'm leaving a list of a few songs that I like and I think you would enjoy reacting to them ;) Ruth Lorenzo . Dancing in the Rain (Spain - 2014) Can Bonomo - Love me Back (Turkey - 2012) Anna Rossinelli - In Love for a While (Switzerland - 2011) Ani Lorak - Shady Lady (Ukraine - 2008) Vânia Fernandes - Senhora do Mar (Portugal - 2008) Keep up the videos ;)

[@gaborkozma3836]

HUNGARY 💚❤

[@taniaackerman]

Poor Blance. She has stage fright and it was showing. She was not nervous, she was directly terrified. I managed to enjoy the song whilst ignoring that because I have friends who have it and it's absolutely crippling sometimes.

[@SimonSarka1]

I just hope I won't be sick anymore when it's time for ESC

[@jereg2]

Hi Jake, please please react to the winning entry from Switzerland in 1988. You'll never believe who they had singing for them

[@joelle5984]

Since you know this all already, and you apparently liked og3ne from the Netherlands, it might be fun to watch The Netherlands from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007. That's when these girls started singing together and it's so sweet

[@arjaakerberg5387]

The Swedish audience choosed Nano with Hold On as the winner of the Melodifestivalen 2017, but the international jury believed more in Robin Bengtsson's Can't Go On. Please react to Hold On and tell me what you think.

[@Northfan42]

I'd love to hear what you think of the non-qualifiers from 2017.

[@svensklyricss]

In my opinion Bulgaria should have won, such a good and beautiful song! AND he was only 17 years old?! 12p from sweden goes to Bulgaria☺️

[@Phlippan87]

But if the age of the singer should be a selling point then every country should send 16-year olds

[@svensklyricss]

Philippa Lodelius That’s not what I meant, I just meant that he was incredibly talented for being only 17 years old☺️

[@Phlippan87]

@@svensklyricss I absolutely agree, although I do believe that if you're that talented you will be regardless of being 15 or 45. But I really liked that performance as well, one of my favorites that year

[@Agju]

lol....i said the same thing about Spain...."Bless His Heart" XD Apparently, there was huge controversy about his selection in representing to Spain because a lot of people saw another artist as way more deserving and then he made a rude gesture to the audience? Oh well. If there was any reason to believe he deserved to represent Spain, that crack in the middle instead of what should have been his big note and his awkward dead-eyed stare as the build up....bless his heart. lol I was nervous about this one cuz Amar Pelos Dois was life-changing for me, so to speak, and i wanted you to like it cuz while 2015 Sweden was the song that finally made me stop and pay attention to ESC, 2017 was the first time I was actually able to follow a competition from the beginning and once i heard Salvador's entry, there was no contest for me. Plus watching the song's journey was fascinating because it was such a perfect quiet storm building up to a thunderous moment of victory: you had perennial underdog Portugal, you had a throwback song that REALLY divided people on the net and stood out like a sore thumb in the contest, you had people taking every excuse to discredit it ("people only like it cuz they pity Salvador's health issues", "its just so boring", "he's so weird", etc), and you had a massive juggernaut standing in its way (Italy, later Bulgaria), but right when it mattered most, they took Italy in the odds (which no other song had done that whole season, unlike Netta, who was dethroned and even fell to like third for a bit there before the final?) and not only does Portugal win....THEY DESTROY THE COMPETITION WITH THE MOST DOMINANT jury/televote SCORE GRAB IN HISTORY. Like, there are videos and such that recalculate the 2017 scores back to the previous score system and it even clobbers "Fairytale" by 30 points. It seems with Claudia that Portugal is back to its old standing, or might be heading there, but damn did they have their moment.... So "Amar Pelos Dois" is not only my favorite ESC song, for being not only an exquisite masterpiece but for being my first 'favorite' that i followed all the way through, but just one of my favorite songs, PERIOD. Salvador is amazing and i admire him and he was phenomenal in this year's interval performance. Aaaaanyway, here's my full rank of the songs last year, subject to eventual change, like i might put Belgium higher: 42."Space"- Slavko Kalezic (Montenegro) 41."Do It For Your Lover"- Manel Navarro (Spain) 40."Don't Come Easy"- Isaiah (Australia) 39."Dying To Try"- Brendan Murray (Ireland) 38."Rain of Revolution"- Fusedmarc (Lithuania) 37."Beautiful Mess"- Kristian Kostov (Bulgaria) 36."My Turn"- Martina Barta (Czech Republic) 35."In Too Deep"- Tijana Bogicevic (Serbia) 34."This Is Love"- Demy (Greece) 33."I Feel Alive"- IMRI (Israel) 32."Spirit of the Night"- Valentina Monetta and Jimmie Wilson (San Marino) 31."Apollo"- Timebelle (Switzerland) 30."Perfect Life"- Levina (Germany) 29."My Friend"- Jacques Houdek (Croatia) 28."Grab the Moment"- JOWST (Norway) 27."Yodel It!"- Ilinca f/Alex Florea (Romania) 26."Keep the Faith"- Tamara Gachechiladze (Georgia) 25."Running On Air"- Nathan Trent (Austria) 24."Origo"- Joci Papai (Hungary) 23."Breathlessly"- Claudia Faniello (Malta) 22."Gravity"- Hovig (Cyprus) 21."I Can't Go On"- Robin Bengtsson (Sweden) 20."Never Give Up On You"- Lucie Jones (United Kingdom) 19."Skeletons"- Dihaj (Azerbaijan) 18."Paper"- Svala (Iceland) 17."On My Way"- Omar Naber (Slovenia) 16."Requiem"- Alma (France) 15."Flashlight"- Kasia Mos (Poland) 14."Story of My Life"- Naviband (Belarus) 13."Dance Alone"- Jana Burceska (Macedonia) 12."Occidentali's Karma"- Francesco Gabbani (Italy) 11."Line"- Triana Park (Latvia) 10."Lights and Shadows"- O'G3NE (Netherlands) 9."Blackbird"- Norma John (Finland) 8."Hey Mamma!"- Sunstroke Project (Moldova) 7."World"- Lindita (Albania) 6."Where I Am"- Anja (Denmark) 5."City Lights"- Blanche (Belgium) 4."Verona"- Koit Toome and Laura (Estonia) 3."Time"- O. Torvald (Ukraine) 2."Fly With Me"- Artsvik (Armenia) 1."Amar Pelos Dois"- Salvador Sobral (Portugal)

[@matthiasreisinger7445]

We all know there are amazing songs in the contests (and that's it all about) but there are also very impressing Openings and Interval Acts!! For example, the Hosts Petra Mede & Måns Zelmerlöw from 2016 with "Love Love Peace Peace" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37KiGhqfaeCiZI), "What is Eurovision" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGfUhKduhtVsmc0) also from Petra & Måns 2016, Petra Mede with "Swedish Smörgåsbord" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGrXi3Snf7CnrtU) from 2013 or simply the best Intervall Act from 1994 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/anXJo5ueZrSnrdE) - RIVERDANCE!! And for me one of the best (if not THE best) Opening ever, ESC 2015 Vienna Grand Final Opening (kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ3cnauslrZro9k) - maybe i love it so much because i am from Austria and I was there and saw it live ... keep on Recating to Videos :-)

[@aekelly]

"bless his heart" - LOL!

[@aekelly]

I knew you'd love Bulgaria! :-)

[@Zubiila]

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! I'm gonna grab some snacks and Skype with my mom while watching the final, that way we can watch if together despite being in two different countries. ❤

Since u had a strong reaction to Loreen Euphoria u should look at the intro of the 2013 eurovision when that song is preformed again in a different way, U will get goosebumps! cheers!

[@angiebertila6655]

You should react 2008's winner song in 2006. Most people I know prefer his song in 2006 but I want to know what do you think :)

[@mzbelgium]

You could check out this version of Requiem, an acoustic duet between Alma and the previous year's French representative Amir: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKatemugqM6bb6s I think you might like it more than the Eurovision version.

[@Uaspacegirl]

Nnooorway,amazing song!

[@thingybob4375]

Hi Jake, that was so cool, and damn, I loved that an American loved Hungary... love you for that! But seriously, you need to watch something with your cam on. Every year, prior to the voting is the interval act, usually ethnic music or dancing of the country hosting. It's usually damn awful - the point where where you go and fix yourself a drink or get a snack... But, in 1994, Ireland produced something that went viral worldwide... watch it and drop your jaw kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ6mYaWNnLqkisU

Titanium isn't a song from Sia but from David Guetta

It's a collab, SIA is the one singing

yes, we know that we send a garbage from Ukraine that year. Blame teens and Jamala who was a jury and gave them max points. democracy in action :) this year we had similar issue with Danylko (Verka Serduchka) in jury who pushed thru Melovin and his hoard of fanatics (14 year girls, very aggressive - don't even start to say something bad about their idol). That's why half of Ukrainians thinks Melovin will flop and other half (his fans) believes he'll win the whole thing. acts of such quality called Grynzholy here (after a name of a group we pushed to stage first time we hosted the contest, they scored historical lowest). Now you can see as people refer to Otorvald as Grynzholy 2.0
