Dang Alesia, you’re just going to treat us to two videos in one day like that? I see you!!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Jordan Davis hahaha

[@Diogo-sg4tj]

Loved when you sang Suzy’s song! Love from Portugal ❤️

[@augustodominguez7416]

Ruth was iconic 😭 and that’s on period. I love her. I also loved this video! Hoping to see other previous year recaps coming soon.

[@marc-antoinemc2116]

We have the same winner. I love "Calm after the Storm" so much ! A second place well deserved ! :D

[@keithharth1219]

I remember being quite sad that Estonia didn't qualify back then. That song gets in my head the very moment I hear it.

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Rick Janssen I know right?!?

[@keithharth1219]

@@AlesiaMichelle It totally does, and I don't mind at all :) Also, greetings from Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Maybe I can meet you at Eurovision next year 😜

[@conorrdoyle]

Justice for Portugal, Ireland and Israel they should have been in the final

[@aijamberisabel]

Israel is questionable. Song is very messy.

[@in_wino_veritas]

Portugal and Ireland yes, Israel no.

[@funnygummy9307]

2014 was the first year i got really into eurovision so it will always have a special place in my heart. All the songs were good at some level and the postcards were amazing too.

[@ryandillon2001]

I really like the song from Tinkara Kovac from Slovenia. Was happy to see it in the final.

[@kennet7837]

My favorites in 2014: - Spain - Austria - Montenegro - The Netherlands - Armenia - Romania - Hungary - Norway - Sweden - Switzerland - Portugal (should have qualified) - Iceland - Finland - Ukraine

[@kyliejenner6059]

My favorites were: Slovenia, Austria, Spain, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Sweden, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, San Marino In a random order My winner is Sweden Greetings from Tel Aviv (I also love Israeli one, and not just because I am Israeli, but that’s the reason I excluded it haha)

[@willholston6688]

This is one of the best Top 3s ever. Any one of them could have won in any other year. I can never decide which is my favorite.

[@milesjohnson8846]

All these amazing videos today, LOVE IT!

[@Skorpio994]

Omg Estonia was my favourite in 2014 i would of expected this song to come from a nordic country since Estonia doesn’t do much uptempo, but that choreography was amazing 🤣 should of qualified

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Nico Varnava it was robbed.

[@marcogazzoli2872]

Great video Alesia, thanks for your nice words about my country Italy😊

[@bastbats1952]

Yay, so happy you're doing these

[@AlesiaMichelle]

bastbats thank you for watching!!!

[@Vaikida]

1st ❤❤❤ Love your videos 😍🔥

[@oisin25]

One of the rare occasions Sweden shoulda won and didn't win. Norway was my second favourite. Loved Switzerland Ukraine too. Agree about Israel Poland was a guilty pleasure I wasn't the biggest fan of the UK but it was good. Really liked Ireland.

[@Copyrightbreaker22]

You're on a roll girl glad to see you again

[@bammer180and1]

My first time watching Eurovision! Still the best stage imo, slick overall production, decent songs. My first Eurovision disappointment happened that year when Portugal failed to qualify. Her voice wasn't perfect but come on Europe! I forgive you lol

[@willholston6688]

YES YES YES keep this time travel journey going please

[@ysteinlwer235]

Dear Alesia! Big fan of your work and energy! I don’t know how far back you will go commenting on vintage ESC, but I really can’t WAIT to see you going through shows from the 1970s and 1980s. That would be sooo much fun!!!

[@jacobhelm8101]

Conchita was my winner!! While I can see why a lot of people liked the Netherlands, but to me Conchita had a flawless performance. To me "Rise Like a Phoenix" was a lyrical masterpiece and also the way the staging of Conchita's performance was perfection. Actually that song is my favorite Eurovision song. 2014 was a great year for Eurovsion. Also I feel Spain should have scored higher, same with Ukraine in my opinion.

[@itslikerufus]

i will never forget about silent storm! one of my all time favorites. 2014 and 2015 are my favorite eurovision years. so many solid songs. also the 2014 postcards remain to be my favorites

[@avilhelm]

Estonia was my favourite! I'm glad you liked it too! I was so gutted when she didn't qualify! Tanja was indeed amazing! And I agree about Moustache, SO underrated!!! Deserved much more!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

avilhelm YES!!!

[@andrackulateamshots501]

My top 10 in 2014 was 1. 🇦🇹 Austria 2. 🇳🇱 Netherlands 3. 🇵🇱 Poland 4. 🇲🇪 Montenegro 5. 🇸🇪 Sweden 6. 🇩🇰 Denmark 7. 🇳🇴 Norway 8. 🇦🇲 Armenia 9. 🇭🇺 Hungary 10. 🇷🇺 Russia

[@janhoogendijk8604]

Nice to see it back and yes Italy is doing great for many years .

[@ryanwalker8212]

I agree with your reactions SOOOOO MUCH

[@goupildubocage2018]

How could you guess which country are some songs from? These songs are almost all English!!! I would like to listen to German, polish, Russian, Swedish... Thanks to Spain, Italy and Portugal for singing in their beautiful language ❤️🇪🇸❤️🇮🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️France 🇫🇷...

[@egorvelichko2473]

Love your truly funny comments! )

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Egor Velichko thank you for watching

[@toosleepyforeverything]

OK I just want to say something... I know a lot of people in the commands wanted the Netherlands winning (what I actually can't understand but ok) but In my opinion it is so important that conchita won because she did something different something special, something with a message. For a younger generation it is important that they can see that it is okay to be yourself no matter what other people say. Conchita also lived this song, got hated for this song. I remember in Austria some people started a "anti-wurst" page to stop her from participating because they were afraid of getting ashamed. She really told them better and thats great... 🥺☺️

[@jiii9593]

OH MY GAWD! You are an amazing singer!

[@doriyahdude5277]

*One of my favorite Eurovision songs!*

[@pascal3115]

I'm happy you're one of the few fans appreciating Malta :)

[@heppolo]

Alesia, your whistling skills are on point!

[@Barista.Nathan]

Honestly didn't hate Russia that year, and they ended 7th anyway. I feel the Russian government just bogged the girls down more than they deserved in the public eye. Austria, Netherlands, and Finland were my favs, and Sanna was one of the few times this decade that I've understood Sweden hype, along with Loreen. Valentina deserved her qualification, but 2013 was a MUCH better and more deserved qualifier imo.

[@greenhermit6037]

Sanna Nielsen is still my favorite!!

[@mikenow3475]

Silent Storm is my all Time favourite song from Eurovision ❤

[@tomdaz5960]

the beeest song!!!!

[@Agju]

i love Moustache. i have it Top 5 in my personal ranking for the year :) (My #1 for 2014 was Norway, which is an all time Top 10 for me)

[@artworx12]

Looking forward to 2012 and 2013 reactions :)

[@Peadar2000]

You love Sanna! And France! I love you!

[@renatopereira810]

Portugal and Ireland totally deserved the final that year :,(

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Renato Pereira TOTALLY

[@alexc.5105]

Hey Alesia! What about the 2019 reaction video? I didn’t get the chance to watch! :( Will you reupload it?

[@jedyson1788]

Silly EBU pulled it...

[@willholston6688]

She may have disputed the copyright strike and is waiting for the response.

[@AlesiaMichelle]

I disputed it...

[@jedyson1788]

Get ‘em girl!

[@michaelferns88]

Alesia! Would love you to do a reaction of every Eurovision winner sometime. Maybe do it with Dapho? :)

[@berto5543]

I was really mad when I saw that Ireland didn't make the cut and I still have it in my playlist. Also Slovenia deserved better

[@HarmonixHeroine]

Can you do 2013 too?!

[@kianasmusician9700]

These videos are the best medical help for depression that was caused by the cancellation of ESC 2020!

[@Fymzy]

I agree I am mad Ireland is not on the Finals too. I haven't forgot about Silent Storm I love that song and I prefer the live version more than the studio, I just get the feeling of the live version more. and Silent Storm is just my favourite of all time if I have to choose.

[@tommay6590]

while I also thought "Calm" should have won, I am suprised you thought so as well. You like country styled songs, really??? If so any thoughts on Germany's 2006 entry?

[@karlssonhermes]

We NEED Ireland to send another ethnic Celtic masterpiece, but maybe instead of something midtempo, a powerful and catchy ballad or pop bop perhaps. To think Eurovision's most successful country (apart from Sweden) has lost the memo.

[@KevinCare]

Heyyy we miss you hunty

[@cd1051]

Can’t wait until Alesia reacts to 2009, it was in my opinion the best Eurovision in terms of song quality in recent years

[@vilkopoljak7370]

Amen to that

[@Sk88p]

lol i thought i was the only one that liked Portugal that year.. Guilty Pleasure for sure!

[@hayleyqt]

I loved Cheesecake and STILL listen to it lol #Cheesey #Cheesecake #Belarus2014

[@SuperCatman]

How about 2016?

[@imjustjakub9623]

Round and round was my fave, so good!!!!

[@itslikerufus]

honestly one of my favorite Italian entries for some reason, but it's true that the live performance just felt off somehow

[@joseuribe3333]

Conchita was the only one who screamed WINNER

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Jose Uribe ehhh.....

[@joseuribe3333]

Alesia Michelle got surprise how that sleepy country song placed second and the grammatically incorrect undo my sadness placed 3 and the guy with horrible pronunciation placed 4th

[@claire6850]

No one: Absolutely no one: Alesia: *Italy has really been giving us quality. We should really let Italy win*

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Κλαίρη Παπαδημητρίου it’s true.

[@stinevaldersnes9306]

Finally someone else who likes France

[@diogomartins5363]

Ukraine is my winner of that year. Sweden and Austria are in my top 3. Suzy should have qualified. She was amazing on stage but jurors put her in last place. I never will understand it...

[@CasqueHD]

Norway was my winner but i wasn't mad that Austria won also wouldn't be mad at Romania/Italy/Netherlands/Ukraine winning either, weirdly everyone calls this UK our entrant one of our bests but i never like it that much.

[@Saturinus]

Sorry, but I couldn't resist: 1:14 "I remember being surprised that Conchita actually pulled it out". XD

[@petarpoljak6918]

What my country said about Austria that year was the definition of HATRED and it never recovered from it. On a side note: Albania was kinda badass for me and Denmark was the most hated song for me that year besides Greece.

[@petarpoljak6918]

Also you dont like strange songs i see 🙄

[@cosmincristian7754]

i love laura bretan !!! and you too alsia michelle ???? AMIN

[@aaronward4822]

I was so angry ireland didnt qualify in 2014!🇮🇪

[@cosmincristian7754]

first

[@peterjohn5544]

Oh, God. Still, to this day I get angry The Netherlands didn't win.

[@toosleepyforeverything]

The thing is... I think Austria also deserved to win. Conchita had a big message a great voice, and she really wanted to change something. When I first listened to the songs my favourite was Sweden but I want to be honest... I think Austria deserved it more than any other country that year. Not only because she sang really really impressive but also because the message meant so much for her and it showed how open Europe was...

[@MizSazz]

I liked cake to bake but just like people didn’t get Moustache people didnt get it . In this world its so fast pace currant generation trying to do everything now! Solve everything buy everything and ofcourse they think know everything but the simple things in like like baking for example is falling away you can learn a lot from your elders

[@lenahelena9483]

TOLMACHEVS SISTERS ARE THE BEST!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Елена Аулова uhhhhhh

[@user-jv2co6lw7m]

Вelarus 2014 like.

[@iaindj]

Hi. You missed Serbia Sanja Vučić Goodbye/Shelter

[@jeffrey6625]

iaindj She is from 2016 not 2014 :)

[@shroomyesc]

I don't know how I really manage to disagree with almost everyone on this but I really thought 2014 was one of the worst years for Eurovision, I think when the songs were good they were *really* good but when they weren't they were *really* bad, like a usual year I only have like 1 or 2 songs I refuse to listen to but I had 12 in 2014

[@Querviinho]

I'm with you, this is my least favorite year of the entire decade. I even enjoy 2011 a bit more because of some iconic entries though the contest overall was really boring as well

[@danielely3807]

Just FYI - I'm still bitter Israel was left in the semi 🤪 😂

[@BartekKowalski-qi4rj]

.

[@damirdominkovic]

I'm LGBT, I looove Conchita! She's epic, the song is epic! But Sanna should have won!!!

[@Matrix-yj4vm]

Well... Cheesecsje is awesome! I was happy that it qualified because it was my fav Esc country for some time Mi winner 2014 was Slovenia Norway or Switzerland I also like the song from my Country! (Poland) And the German Song was a Hit in Poland so I am still mad because it got robbed

[@TH2714]

Alesia, as a French I thank you for liking Moustache, but it is unfortunately a very bad copy and paste of the great song Papaoutai by Stromae. I thought that Moustache was fun, but once you hear what I would call the more than similarities, you can't help but being mad.

[@DrCoxHugeNews]

I'm still salty about The Netherlands, they were absolutely robbed!

[@dalandi8574]

13:40 is the winner! Thank me later!

[@peasemaker4]

Okay this is not going to be a popular opinion, but I still think the Common Linnets should have won! Rise like a Phoenix just didn’t grab me. And it still isn’t. Lot of these songs are on my playlist... that one is not.. But it’s okay to have another opinion 😁

[@AlesiaMichelle]

peasemaker4 yeah... I get why Conchita won but I do think the Common Linnets should have won

[@toosleepyforeverything]

@@AlesiaMichelle sorry for my opinion but for me the song just was sleepy and I think that it was important that conchita won because she really sent a message and sang so good on the other hand. No offense but I think that her message, her song and her reason to participate was just made for winning. And I am austrian so I don't like when people say something bad about our winning song. We have our pride that kinda hurts. But yeah I think everyone can have and should have his or her own opinion. But I think it was important that conchita won... That said a lot about Europe

[@toosleepyforeverything]

@@AlesiaMichelle I read my comment now and it may sound a little angry or upset but it really isn't. I just forgot to use emojis.🙃

[@poertjt2]

You're waaay too excited about the songs from such a weak year XD XD

[@AlesiaMichelle]

poertjt2 You probably thought 2015 was a strong year...

[@poertjt2]

@@AlesiaMichelle Meh.. not the best year either ;)

[@OfficialSpencer]

I think 2014 was the worst year musically... there were only a few good songs and I’m saying five....

[@DaveVampireSlayer]

Yep we deserved to win.... in 2015, 2019, maybe this year and in 2017, but definitely no in 2014 (in 2021 Maneskin had been the Top of the Tops 🥰🥰). Emma's performance was really bad, below her standards and capacities, the song was 🤬 Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Ukraine, Finland, Romania, Armenia were very best than Emma.

[@n1ghtofthedead411]

One of the worst years tbh. Some gems, rest is just bad.

[@esctoplist1162]

Bridges will win, Eesti Laul is very predictable and this year will be no different, the favorite going in will win it. Unless the staging is a total flop but I don't see that happening.
