Random Eurovision Thoughts

Something.

[@lada8755]

Hello, guys! Thank you very much for watching! I have some news for you... I'm out of ideas again. To be honest, I have some, but whenever I try to write a scenario for the video, I feel like something is wrong and the video will be boring. So that's why I'm asking for your ideas! I really want to know if there are some kind of videos you've always wanted to see, or if there are some topics that we can discuss. One of the commenters suggested to make a video about my expectations for Eurovision 2020 (and it was a great idea), but the thing is that I don't really have any expectations. Anyway, I'll be very grateful for all your ideas. Thank you once again.

[@markmadsen4762]

Make a video about all the Queens (and Kings) of ESC or something, or like an appreciation video for our favourite people like Verka, Måns, etc

[@-Paralex-]

Maybe another: Eurovision moments me and my fans thinks alot about? I Think those are the funniest And i even have a suggestion. When Erik Saade breaks the glass cube. (Yes i was and still is a big fan of him)

[@thanos2101]

How about you make a video with your favourite Eurovision countries? Plus I also became a Eurofan in 2014😍

[@carmen2667]

You could do a compilation of Eurovision Trolls, or something, because there was the Flag thing with Hatari and When Ira Losco performed, she was pregnant, so there were actually seven people on stage. 🙈

George Moschos Yeah. Every time when I try to make my top 10 from that year I can’t decide which countries I want in it. I would probably put the whole Grand Final in the top 10 if I could XD PS: But my favorite entry from 2015 is Estonia :)

[@unknownmapping9931]

I think the reason why there can be max 6 persons on stage because 6 is the first "perfect" number (really) so with 6 participants you can have 2 other chorists per person in a duet, but also 1 other chorist per person in a trio

[@spectremodtrain5936]

I would say it's also 1. To cut costs down, and reduce choreography times, 2. So that they are not so heavy for the stage, 3. To stop cramping in smaller stages, 4. To keep performances original

[@unknownmapping9931]

@@spectremodtrain5936 yeah this is what I said in another words xD

[@bombsite1847]

I think another part of the reason is if you could have an unlimited number of people on stage, the better off countries would have a massive group of people on stage while the poorer countries couldn't and would look worse in comparison

[@RickyPro888]

I would agree with you if I hadn’t seen Montenegro’s performance this year

Slavko and Matthias in the thumbnail 😍 As for some of your thoughts: - My favourite year would be 2012 or 2010, but I'll pick 2010. That year was E P I C & very competitive, and many memorable entries. Especially, Turkey, Romania & Greece to name a few. - My favourite moment... hmm I have too many. But for me it's always Jamala's wail of pain, anger and sadness in the bridge of 1944 (Ukraine 2016). Even if you don't speak Crimean Tatar you'll understand the chorus after that.

[@escselena5750]

You=me 2010 is underrated I think

[@dimidrugg9592]

To make you feel old, I'll let you know that I started following Eurovision in 2016, but I remember watching it in 2004 for the first time. Eurovision has been a pleasure for me since then (probably cause my country won in 2005, I was 6 years old then). My family and friends still make fun of me getting so excited about Eurovision every year, but since 2016 you guys keep reminding me I'm not alone in this. Oh, and thanks to Eurovision (and to big football tournaments) I was urged to learn geography from a very young age, and people were wondering how I knew so many things about Europe when I was just 7 or 8. Good times. Also, I'm pretty surprised that you couldn't remember who came 9th in 2017, which was just 2 years ago. I thought every fan knew the results of all years by heart.

[@WickiBlumensaat]

I never in my life thought there would be new fans of eurovision!! I was just roped in by my parents since i was a baby and now i just still watch it as an adult. Thought thats what happened to everyone 😂

[@justarandomperson225]

Esc 2015 and 16 were the best years for me and for your channel you should make Eurovision, The Fairytale! I’ll explain below..... So basically you have to pick your two best years of Eurovision and give them Fairytale roles it can be whatever u want like Prince, Princess and so on. You can add in your own... here are some of mine but from different years....... Lena (Germany 2010 and 2011) - Evil Queens Daughter Hatari (Iceland 2019) - Knights that work for the evil queen Nina Sublatti (Georgia 2015) - Evil Queen Freddie (Hungary 2016) - Runaway Teen from the village Zoe (Austria 2016) - Good Queens Daughter Kate-Miller H (Australia 2019) - Good Queen Paradise Oskar (Finland 2011 I think?) - Handsome Apple Picker And finally..... Francesca Michelin (Italy 2016) - Good Queens Gardener So how about that for a video idea, huh? You can thank me later! Btw I subbed 😋😋😋

[@renskedunnewold1995]

I don't think I've ever skipped a year of Eurovision in my entire life, my mum loves it as well so we watched it as a family even when I was young. 2012 holds a special place in my heart, it was the first year I started really listening to the album after the show was over, and goddamn I can probably still sing along to every song of that year,regardless of whether or not I know the language they are singing in :P

[@pelep1509]

I also have a moment of a performance that I always watch again and again. It’s Kaliopi‘s legendary scream from 2012, I always come back to hear the song, just for this one part.

[@cloudtail605]

I definitely agree with 2015 being the strongest year! Actually, funnily enough, that was my first year watching. I am American so obviously people in the states do not really know about Eurovision, but I watched it and fell in love. I enjoy most of the 2015 songs, and even if I don't really care much for one of them, it still holds a spot in my heart because it was my first year being a part of this great big contest's audience. I am really happy I got into this, and I wish I could vote in the finale and watch it live on something besides a bootleg stream from Finland or Sweden :/

[@kaickf.r.goncalves2846]

I'm an old fan like you! The first time I've heard about Eurovision was in 2013, when they announced participant from my country (Amandine Bourgeois from France) and I asked my mom what was Eurovision and she said: "It's song contest where we suck"(kinda). The next year, I've heard more about it, because Conchita was one of a kind so they mentioned her in the news, and also because it was the first and only year that France got last in Eurovision. Then I started to watch the year later, but I didn't watch much, like only the final and at least until France performed, but Lisa Angell was the 2nd to perform so yeah I didn't watch much😅. Then in 2016, I know I've watched the grand final, and I know I've watched the semi finals after, on KZbin. And starting from 2017, I've watched the semi-finals and the grand final almost completely (but since the grand final got longer my mom didn't want me to watch it completely)

I really liked 2008 and 2016. I go back and re-watch a lot of the songs from those two years. By the way, have you done a video where you talk about your Top 10 favourite Eurovision songs (so far)? Maybe you did and I just forgot about it, but that would be fun. Safer option than doing a countdown of your favourite to least favourite, since people can't really attack you for leaving a song they like out of your personal Top 10.

Some moments I could watch forever and not get tired of in Eurovision are: Lithuania 2012- Donny's cartwheel thing Denmark 2006- When she screams HIT IT JOHNNY and then the guy just appears on stage with a guitar and shredding Estonia 2016 - Jüri's card trick thing it's pure magic Belgium 2011- the key change where they go down and then go back up and change keys. Poetic cinema. Latvia 2019 - when she walks in a circle in front of the band. This one makes the least sense to me but omg do I keep watching that part over and over again Switzerland 2018- When she walks up the stairs and does the little hip thing to the beat

Your thoughts are great..i also was wondering about the 6 ppl on stage..i guess they have done this,cause too many ppl on stage would be more like circus...and 6 is just a number..not too many not so few..i guess..Now..about ideas..i dont really have any!All issues are already done around you tube..Tops of all kind..parodies..games,quizes..I really dont have anything to suggest! :) But i always find your videos unique!Im sure youll come up with new ideas,soon!! :)

Eres Tú and Waterloo were both hits in the US in 1974, which is often considered by chart watchers to be one of the worst years in Billboard history. I found this kinda interesting since both of these songs are generally liked by Eurovision fans, especially the latter.

They made the 6 people on stage rule back in the 70s when the stages were smaller... and this rule seems to have outdated now I guess, unless the ebu just kept it because they like it

My random Eurovision thought: The presenters of 2018 revealed Ireland as the last qualifier in sf1 before they even announced it- "let's say it, *together*"
