Eurovision Reaction Request 2012 SWEDEN’S Winning Performance!

[@escfan3878]

I feel this act would still easily win today. The song still holds up and scenography was just beyond amazing. It really stood out that year.

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

Ikr! That's the best thing about this song I feel, because it means that 6 years later we can all still keep it in our playlists without it feeling like a throwback. I don't even think Sweden in 2015 is still relevant today!

[@jlhabitan50]

And the hype it generated upon its selection was well managed, something Italy couldn't manage to do in 2017 and I'm afraid the same will happen to Israel this year.

[@mullergris1]

also this song is one that you remember, how many others songs do you remember of the those that have won. the only one i also remember is Ruslana with wild dances from Ukraine in 2004

[@kwstasmaria1]

i still love this song and hear it from time to time.it's one of my fav of all time

[@Agju]

yeah i hear you on Italy. I didn't like it throughout 2017 season cuz it was just too overhyped and rather than just being a guy and his song (like Loreen is "a girl and hear song"), they just kept throwing gimmick on top of gimmick on top of gimmick (the guy in the gorilla costume! the dance! random multi-colored light figures in the back! etc) and Francesco has the complete inability to rein it in, even just a bit...his performances got very sloppy.

[@ossielmdn8898]

The most iconic song in Eurovision history, no matter what, an anthem.

[@AK-do9jw]

agree with you love this song still listen it

[@mrmr4622]

Agree, Eurovision never had anything greater since

[@emilatik8581]

ossielmdn Totally agree!! The Queen/Alien of Eurovision! It made history, that's for sure! 👌✌️🤙🤘💪🔥💎

[@danfrost3043]

It's an awesome song, I still listen to it today but..........when I think Eurovision I think "Waterloo"

[@JaNeZoKu]

Euphoria is great, but it's nowhere near as iconic or successful as Italy's 1958 Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare) which reached No.1 even on Billboard Hot 100 Charts and won two Grammy Awards (Record of the year and Song of the year) at the very first Grammy Awards back in 1958.

[@juliell2139]

She is absolutely mesmerizing. The way she moves, the way she sings, love it, love it.

[@kate2899]

She is the Queen of Eurovision!❤🔥

[@AK-do9jw]

and she will always be

[@VeryNice-c6p]

But our Verka is a Queen 😔😔😔

no just no :)

[@EdjeMr1975]

Nah its Dana International .. becouse of her Eurovision was not borring anymore .. back in the old days, Eurovision was just a show now its a big Festival ...

[@ronnopotter]

This performance is "an everlasting piece of art"

[@scottread]

Euphoria was absolutely a deserving winner.

[@Rainbow-nw1hd]

No way. Pastora Soler (Spain) should have won. She was amaizing!

[@jennyesc8615]

Euphoria is the best Eurovision song ever

[@EdjeMr1975]

You have a small taste then

This still gives me goose bumps!

And remember it is live vocals. She is amazing

[@maryiie]

She’s competing this year too! The song is called Tattoo and is on youtube, staging on it is mindblowing

[@rickjr37]

2012 was my first Eurovision experience.

[@muridae83]

damn thats kinda sad... the bar was set pretty high that year with 4-5 pretty good entries. Do you feel let down by the last few years?

[@EdjeMr1975]

Mine 1991 😉

[@skillbrotherseldindenis57]

She is back this year in eurovision 👏🏻👏🏻 #loreen

[@evgeniiae4871]

Still one of the best of the best of the best performances in Eurovision for the last 15 years that I watch Eurovision. Jake, I knew you will love it, that's why I and the majority of folks out there recommended you to watch it☺️ You facial reactions videos are priceless☺️

[@Zubiila]

I always gets chills watching her performance of Euphoria. She nailed it! ❤❤❤

[@LuciadeAlarcon]

If you liked her, you should defo see her performance at Melodifestivalen - Paper Light (Higher) :) She's pure gold, I myself have been following her closely since she won and you can easily tell how creative her mind is ❤️

[@vicberger1427]

Lucia de Alarcon Her "Statements" and "My heart is refusing me" are amazing too🙆

[@LuciadeAlarcon]

Ofc! Everything she does, actually haha

[@everythingnature7936]

When i first saw her performance i said yap she just won. Chillssssss

[@swedishmake-upgeek5650]

Wase Miriam it was the same when she first performed it in the Swedish contest. I remember thinking that there was no point in seeing the other acts. She would be better than all of them. I was right, since she got to represent Sweden and none of the other acts were even close to hers. 🙂

[@annakarinnordstrand5312]

She is out of this world! 🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🇸🇪#eurovision2023

[@SKOceanicFE]

Euphoria is the most iconic win ever, that song shapped the Eurovision we know

[@KellyIsShort]

I’m so late to this reaction but I remember watching this in hospital at 11 years old (grown up on Eurovision) and was the highlight of my stay! I literally claimed the games room to watch Eurovision haha

[@giselamesquita5124]

One of my favourites for all time . A huge interpretation from Loreen !

[@EurovisionFan91]

In the modern age of Eurovision, this is the song that rules them all!

[@georgiakat8323]

Loreen's performance is just epic! Love your reactions Jake! Love from Greece!

[@gabrielarcari72]

Beautiful! ❤️

[@mirakjemo1768]

2012 is one of my favourite times WATCHING Eurovision. I stayed at a youth hostel and the TV-room was crammed that night. Seing the show with people from so many different countries was a pure delight. Two of my other favourites from 2012 are Albania, Rona Nishliu-Suus and Estonia, Ott Lepland-Kuula. Sweden has been very good at framing their performances and chosing their camera angles in rescent years. Their entry for 2018 is clearly very different from 2012 in both mood and performance, but with the same type of framing. In a sea of wide shots it really has the potential to draw people in. Thanks for the reaction and see you in Malmö 2013!

[@ylvaisaksson1187]

Hej, could you react to kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4G0e3xjaLGKY5o 😊

[@erikalulea3608]

Was so proud when Loreen and Månz win their years. People with tolerant hearts, show the diversity of sweden, clean but cool staging. Greetings from sweden.

[@zannazo]

I’m so grateful for you listen through the whole song and not interrupt for saying something.

[@kate2899]

Please react to Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside. It's the entry of 2015 from Belgium. He's fantastic!❤

Okay!!! So...Loreen is BACK! She will compete in the Eurovison song contest 2023! Her song Tatoo is even better then Euphoria! Please do a reaction on that! 😃

[@vampy8334]

Her album she put out with this song is still to this day one of my favorites to listen to all the way through.

[@cameronclare2132]

In terms of studio-mix Downloads this is the second biggest selling Eurovision entry after Waterloo by ABBA.

[@vicentdelicia5603]

Such an iconic performance Yess, definitely check out literally everything else she has done, you won't regret it, she is quality through and through!

[@olenahavrylova6880]

Love it, it's always gonna be one of the best winning performances on Eurovision for me ever. I have my Eurovision winners top(in do not consider outsiders): 1) Loreen - Euphoria; 2) Maria Sherifovich - Molitva; 4) Jamala - 1944 3) Chonchita - Rise like a phoenix; 5) Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois; 6) Duncan Laurence - Arcade; 7) Netta - Toy) With love from Ukraine))

[@EdjeMr1975]

Its Conchita Wurst ( Rise like a Phoenix )

[@phoz6504]

its nothing compared to this tho

[@davidmorris8319]

You should seriously react to more music of Loreen. She has two amazing albums out there. The first one is called "Heal" of which Euphoria is the lead single so you can expect a lot more of that prime swedish pop fantasy. It has a dark in spiritual overall vibe. The second album, called "Ride" came out just last year and is more indie/rock/grunge/synth pop. It's so different but so. good. Also her stand-alone single "Statements" is such an iconic song

[@TimeturnerJ]

Our Norse Goddess of Eurovision 💙

[@paolinathelast5946]

Thank you for reacting to this! Loreen is still one of my fave winner ♥ If you've got the time (and especially the will), could i request a few songs too? my requests would be: 1) Italy 2013: Marco Mengoni - L'essenziale (it came 7th) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWnSkqt6i5akbNE 2) Italy 2015: Il Volo - Grande Amore (it came 3rd) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4WyfqSQi5edd5o i noticed you've not reacted to any italian entry yet, apart from the 2018 one, so i'm curious ^^ (don't expect swedish or russian type of staging tho, because Italy keeps it simple). Have a great day! xo

[@matheya]

Тhe best song in eurovision ! It's still on the radio ! Greetings from Bulgaria ! :)

[@chalphon4907]

I remember backpacking from Croatia through Italy, France, and Spain the summer of 2012. This song was EVERYWHERE that summer.

[@MrMarkec24]

you are ESC fan and I just can't believe that your reaction video is honest on that day and that video..... everyone who watch anything about ESC now's about euphoria

[@ecryloxr89]

I know you are on a hiatus, but she is back! 2023! And I would be so happy, if you´d be back as well ;) Nevertheless all the best to you :D

[@swedelunkan]

we only have one esc queen in sweden, carola häggkvist , she won in sweden 1983, 2006 she winns hle hole esc, and 2006, she is back with invinsible, with i love

[@danfrost3043]

There was Eurovision before the year 2000. Ever heard of ABBA-Waterloo, Johnny logan-What's Another Year or Hold Me Now, Teach-In-Ding A Dong, Katrina & The Waves-Love Shine A Light, Bucks Fizz-Making Your Mind Up........All absolute Eurovision Classics.

[@Mineycart]

Also it will be interesting to see him compare them winning in 2012 to 2015

[@deniznl3397]

After Eurovision you could watch semi final recaps of different years and predict which 10 got through and then look at the names of the actual qualifiers after that.

[@judna1]

Best Eurovision song ever!! And it isn't just me who says that, it was voted as the best eurovision song, ans still is.

[@bodan1196]

A song that should have been placed higher is the Rumanians' Voltaj with "De La Capat" from 2015. Very high hook factor in the chorus.

[@ocean91]

Loreen is the queen of ESC! She got the most 12 points ever. Rybak is the king, he got the highest score ever! My favorite ESC entries ever.

[@PineappleQueenka]

My favorite song on Eurovision ever

[@MusicalElo]

Loreen is an amazing artist. The best musical discovery of 2012 :) She basically is the reason that made me continue watching the ESC. I watched the semi final out of boredom then saw her but others too that made me realize that ESC isn’t the joke like I thought it was for a while and it was also where you can found amazing artist and also discover différent languages and so many distinct genre of music. This performance felt so emotional, artistic and’ and beautiful. It’s really one of the best winners for me at least. Still love her music, she deserves so much success but I love that everyone still see her as one of the best and it stayed with people.

[@Idk_Yara98]

React to 2014 the Netherlands. It was an exceptional staging and a great song which placed them 2nd. The best result for them in 39 years

[@sergiusyo7989]

Please react to Norway 2016, is my favourite entry so far 😃. Love your reactions, from Spain!🇪🇸

[@almalundberg9799]

actually this song got 12 points from all countries except for Italy and, of course Sweden. This song has gotten the most points in eurovision ever!!!!!
