Interval Act - Rock The Roof Reaction!

[@mileeuwen]

All these different rooftops are in Rotterdam. The host of Eurovision this year. The former winners actually performed their old winning songs on these magnificent buildings. Rotterdam is a beautiful city with amazing architecture.

[@tropenkindje1]

The lady in red is Lenny Kuhr. She is dutch and won in 1969. She still looks and sound pretty good.

[@yvkon]

She's amazing. Had the privilege to see her perform live in 2019. She's also done a cover of Anouk's song Birds in an Eurovision episode of Beste Zangers.

[@wilco8729]

Yep and did you know that Lenny here voice was different in the early days? She had a throat surgery and. That chance here voice and now she sounds like this. and it suits her perfectly👌😁 She whas also on the show of Ali B: op volle touren. Where she sings for Ali b his guest. And the guest sings a song for her.

[@tuproc61]

She is amazing just went to her concert in Amsterdam 10 th of july. She is a kind lady i always talk to her and some times we write messages on FB.

[@dorothym.b.5482]

All the people singing were the winners in previous EUROVISIONS.

[@janhulst8189]

Those to be precise: Lenny Kuhr (1969), Teach-In (met Getty Kaspers, 1975), Sandra Kim (1986), Helena Paparizou (2005), Lordi (2006) en Måns Zelmerlöw (2015)

[@ciskadebart1763]

Its so awsome we did it in the Netherlands...proud of our little country.....magical indeed... Loved your reaction....you had a lot on your list to visit in the future i yhink.....Ladys of Soul...Eurovision.. I hope you will get there in time.. Thanxxx🙏🙏👌❣🧜‍♀️

[@lilyth682]

This year was phenomenal,not only for songs Countries but also for the show! Netherlands work was GREAT

[@yvkon]

Let me check, so the clock building is Hotel New York. The place where the emigrants to America used to embark from. Than the rectangle roof is the roof of the Maassilos. Used to be a storage facility for grain etc. now turned into a party venue. And last, but certainly not least is the depot of Museum Boymans van Beuningen, also nicknamed the flowerpot (It's a Rotterdam thing to nickname their prominent architecture and art). The performances where recorded on the rooftops and enhanced with augmented reality, so it's a case of best of both worlds. And if you're interested in their original performances, I'll look them up and send them to Mel for your perusal.

[@morgonerlenstar]

I'm very proud to be from Rotterdam, this is where this "party" held. They are different rooftops in the same city

[@B.5Pol]

😂😂😂your face when you are watching Lordy, like :" w.t.f is this?" And then very dry: "That is a very unique looking man" hahahahahaha. I love your reactions, always so alive and true. By the way, you have also very nice blue eyes. Love your reaction video's. Greeting from a fan of you, from Holland.

[@ingridwatsup9671]

These are the winners: 1) Sweden 2015: Heroes by Mans Zelmerlöw 2) Netherlands 1975: Ding-a-dong by Teach In 3) Belgium 1986: J’aime la vie by Sandra Kim 4) Netherlands 1969: De Troubadour by Lenny Kuhr 5) Greece 2005: My number one by Helena Paparizou 6) Finland 2006: Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi

I’am very sorry but you are wrong with the nr.3 It’s not that she won for France but she won for Belgium. That was the only time Belgium ever won.

[@Sandra-Gibora]

No one is going to read this but I’ll write this anyway 😅 7:36 This singer, Lenny Kuhr, who performs this song in the video, is the original performer of the song, she won the Eurovision with this very song in 1969. And that’s not a typo. It amazes me.

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]

Hi Sandra, I know that they were all the original singers! Love eurovision!

[@Sandra-Gibora]

Now I’m amazed because you react, thank you 😊 I really wasn’t expecting that. I’ve been binge watching you for a couple of weeks and I’ve been absolutely loving it. Partying to music I don’t normally listen to, laughing, singing along, getting emotional here and there and exploring Vietnam. It’s a wild ride!

I also want to let you know that I look forward to your new responses every day. You are a winner for Dutch artists. I am also looking forward to the new edition Beste zangers. Keep it up and I love the way you review so much. Lots of love from the Netherlands.....

They are various rooftops in Rotterdam, where Eurovision was helt this year

[@Vlamke_169]

Same city different rooftops

[@marriebarrie77]

So nice to see Paul swinging on theTroubadour. 😉

[@finnzter_]

The Eurovision Song contest was held in Rotterdam (NL) this time. The rooftops you see are on 4 different rooftops in Rotterdam :)

[@bertievandenbroek]

You made me see how people see it from other country’s, because it was here in the Netherlands I watch with a critical eye. Is it special enough? As a little country do we stand out enough? And then you sometimes mis the magical of it. And i’am talking about myself now. Seeing your reaction gave the answers. Thanks again👍🏼🥰

[@MariekevanBuytene]

This was exactly my feeling during the shows! I was nervous for the presenters and the whole organization. But I think we did a stellar job as a Eurovision host.

[@tetavst6396]

They all rooftops in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Eurovision is always special The cost of the Total production of eurovision is about. 25 million dollar

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

The french girl was standing on the old building where people went to USA and Canada. The Holland-America line building.

[@Populiervogel]

4:44 The building of the Holland America Line(HAL). From that spot back in the days the Dutch/Europeans migrants went on the boat to America.

[@chantalpeters1745]

Proud of my hometown ♡ so fun to see all of the buildings

[@lindaroos2987]

Next year it is in Italië they won. But I have to say this was the best show in years. The first show that I watched from beginning to end. Great special effects sound and presenters. Other years it was so amateurish. Maybe because I'm Dutch I'm biased. 😂😊

[@ingridwatsup9671]

Actually, excluding Madonna, Israel was realy good aswell, but they had no COVID-19 limitations.

[@46numanr]

The howl infra and technical support was done by NEP Netherlands. They work all over the world. (My son works there.)

[@halloweennr2]

In the beginning of Eurovision you had to song in your on langauge... I believe from 1965 till 1999. After that the most countries song in English, but there are some that stil singing in there own native language.

[@PR-on7qk]

What is Eurovision gonna do to keep things interesting 10 years from now? First of all: Eurovision is hosted every year by the winner of the previous edition. It costs millions of dollars but also puts your country on the map for tourism, trade, etc. Most of the money is brought up by the host-country, but I believe the 5 biggest countries like France, Germany etc. pay a lot too. So their entry doesnt have to go through the semi finals, but are right in the Finals show. That being said: each year is hosted by a different country (unless they win twice in a row). That means next year (Rome, Italy) will have a different style for its a totally different country. Of course each country looks at what they are best in. We dutch have the top in djs, so 'we' used that. We also are quite far in things as augmented reality. We encorporated that with the real thing by for instance 'transporting' the Erasmusbrigde to the stage in the intervalact with Afrojack, Wulf and GG. Italy might do it differently, according to their strengths. For instance: when you have the Colluseum, The Forum Romanum etc in your city: you are crazy not to use them... I dont know if they are gonna try to top this years show, but they can also choose to keep it small. Which also has its charm. Thing is: it is not a contest. Well its a song contest, but its also bout showing yourself to the world, having a good time together. That will always be the charm of Eurovision and that is why so many people love it.

[@jefreyhendriksen1621]

or you just forget about the money aspect and all that stuff and be proud of what our little country did

[@patricemeijboom9004]

There is 3 different rooftops in Rotterdam and they keep switching from one to another

[@therealdutchidiot]

"How strong do these projectors have to be?" They don't need to be strong. They just have to be virtual. You either need enough light on a building to be able to map the building to the software, or you need trackers (sort of like radio beacons) so you can move the projection even live with regards to the camera view with a rendering step.

4 or 5 different rooftops in Rotterdam.

Hi Highly, a suggestion for you, signore Andrea Boccelli and Sara Brightman with "Time to say good bye" and of course Luciano Pavarotty. THE opera tenors of our time and not above the the so called normal artists. Pavarotti had a concert "Pavarotti and friends". His friends were Brian Adams, James Brown, U2 and so on.

This show was exceptionally good, I mean in recent years Esc has definitely improved its quality lrvel but this year it was way better flawless both in style effects ideas performances and organization, yes they had one extra year time to plan due to last year cancellation but praise to the Dutch they were great. I am Italian and I am already very disappointed because after 2 months Rai hasn't yet picked the city/venue where to held the show and all this wasted time is all to disadvantage of the event organization.who requires a lot of time.

[@somedutchguy2062]

Not being able to organize something with people, I guess the Eurovision hostland and the city of Rotterdam and all the artists had to come up with some kind of alternative on the rooftops of tall builings. Hey, we also need a couple of people for the lights, flying around, logistics, sound, electricity, catering, transportation and so on and so on. Apparently Rotterdam could do it.
