Whats is EUROVISION GEOGRAPHY NOW - REACTION

[@SimplethingsOfficial]

see he only showed the joke acts. there's so many incredible artists and songs.

[@Kalakeiko]

Late, but agreed. It's sad and unfortunate how he only focused on the silly joking part of Eurovision and not the genuinely good and serious performances. I feel like this will only encourage people to make fun of Europe and their music and is not a good representation.

[@deniznl3397]

But next to the jokey entries, there are obviously lots of great ones each year as well. The past couple of years the amount of joke entries have decreased massively. I would love to see more Eurovision reactions from you.

[@thesnesgeek]

The joke entries has changed I think. Now, thier funny, not chrinchy.

[@amaliasradi687]

I'm Romanian so i think i can share this with confidence. One thing that America will not understand EVER about Eurovision is that, this song contest is to feel good, make a show ,enjoy and celebrate yourself as a country/culture and other countries and a way to land support to a country that maybe didn't have a good year and hey if we happened to win fine that is great and if we don't that is fine to we had a blast at least. I feel that America would take this to seriously and just want to win. Don't understand me wrong Eurovision its not a silly contest it means so much for us Europeans it brings us closer as a continent through music but the wholesomeness of the ''we are here to vibe' and vibe only" even if that means we make a fool out of ourselves sometimes is what makes it ten times better and is something that America (USA) doesn't posses because you want to be the worlds best and that does not apply here because is not only about that.

[@pinianna]

People always whine about "neighbour voting", but they never seem to entertain the idea that neighbouring countries probably have similar culture and taste. There is some nepotism (in lack of a better word) of course, but I truly think most people vote for music they like

[@KristerL]

Also the fact that there is a different winner every year from different parts of Europe...

[@FaberBollonius]

@@KristerL yeah you have to get points from every corner of europe to be the winner

[@benjaminmarker]

Exactly. Sweden is almost always in my top list and I usually also like Norway. I don't really think about them as neighbours (I'm Danish), but mostly just like the music.

[@ZakhadWOW]

also, if your neighbor wins and hosts, you might actually be able to attend...

[@ykook7000]

You need to be a member of the EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION which Australia is a member of... don't necessarily need to be a European country to be eligible !!

[@TomaszDK]

But Australia is not a member of the EBU, they are associate member, and that does not give you entry to the contest. The reason Australia is in it now, is that they were invited to participate, one single time. But the viewers loved them, so they have been invited back every year since 2015. The reason they were invited in the first place, is that Eurovision has been popular in Australia since 1983, with more and more viewers each year.

[@SK-nw4ig]

Eurovison on campy, cheesy, funny and crazy. Laughing at ourselves, definately. But also full of beautiful artistry and togetherness. Amazing consept.

[@noblestofdonnas]

I remember the German comedian participating for us with the song "wadde hadde dude da" which means "whatle dole youle havele therele". It was glorious.

He missed talking about the interval acts. Mst noted must be the Riverdance dance group that performed in 1994 in Dublin.

[@snetmotnosrorb3946]

Oh gawd, I had forgot about that! That was freakin' amazing! Riverdance in itself was huge and amazing in the 90s. Now it kinda feels like a bump in history.

[@Saturinus]

I think you should take that "most countries don't want to win" thing as a joke. If you don't want to win, you can just not participate in the first place. Several countries have declined to participate because of economic reasons.

[@benjaminmarker]

Well, I'm pretty sure that DR (Danish broadcaster) do not want to win again, since they almost got bankrupt last time. I think they are just in it to promote Denmark with a feel good song, like Love, love, peace, peace...

[@ZakhadWOW]

something hardly anyone gets accurate: you are not required to host yourself. Admittedly the Big 5 wouldnt be able to decline, given their economies, etc, but if say CYprus won (near miss in 2018) it might be able to convince Greece or Italy or wahtever to host. Iceland was a fan favorite for this year, but they probably would have tried to finagle someone else to do it, as they only have a small population and not a lot of money. UK has hosted several times when it hadn't won the ear before... 1974 for example, famous because of ABBA winning and launching their career

[@Helen-cw1qs]

Ireland definitely don’t want to win anymore

[@rosetoren3881]

What you saw at 4:00 this is a german tv comedian who wanted to show the absurdity of this contest. He made fifth place. His name, Stefan Raab.

[@TheMarrification]

You can get involved and vote for the winner now even though you can't compete. There is now a "rest of the world vote" incorporated into the final voting. The competition is usually held throughout the evening in Europe on a Saturday in May. Usually from about 8pm-12am BST, which would be 3pm-7pm EDT.

[@Phlippan87]

Got to love that one of the ESC winners are pictured among the troll entries

Thats why I love ESC and being European 😁😁😁😁

[@matheya]

Eurovision is getting more serious event. Countries send X-Factor winners, there is Junior Eurovision for kids . Later they participate in the Adult eurovision. It's a place for young artists and new music. It's not that taky anymore.

[@jesusgiles2167]

There going to be a Eurovision spin off here in the US against 50 states in 2021. Also on Netflix there the 2019 eurovision song contest.

[@jesusgiles2167]

@Shane Bettes yeah there are articles but not a lot. I don't know if they started on the project or not. The Netflix thing yeah they uploaded the 2019 competition VOD also they will up load the 2020 once the actual competition ends.

[@snetmotnosrorb3946]

It's real. But no live broadcast?

[@saxx9088]

Trust me it’ll be much worse

[@MadameChristie]

The slip in the Spanish clip was actually on purpose. It was ajoke entry (a character from a sketch show)

[@luciagil9008]

Actually, the fall in the Tiki Tiki song wasn't accidental. It was part of the act lol

[@Bloperu]

6:54 In fact that was part of the choreography 😂

[@darkwolf1202]

Portugal usually doesn't have songs in english

[@rageguy311]

Germany complained about not being in the final round but contributed over 5x the fee than other countries. Thus the big 5. Also Americans compete under other flags such as Katrina and the Waves or Ashley Hayes of The Mamas (Sweden if COVID-19 forced the contest to close). The closest thing to a global song contest would be the Yamaha song contest, I think

[@Vaikida]

Well this was before now almost all the countries send great songs

[@rutab4086]

He said that Latvia and Lithuania doesn’t take the competetion seriously, cause we bring trolls. And yes sometimes you do but it’s in order to win. If you attract attention you get a good place or in some cases win. Latvia has actually won once and takes competition seriously. I never heard tho that you bring someone who sucks in order to lose. Not even in lithuania(we don’t take it too seriously) we always vote for the best one that year to go to eurovision. Problem is that we have no one to send and it’s the same for many countries, and then there’s a money problem. Those performances cost millions of dollars. It’s crazy and poor small countries just can’t be on the same level as France, Sweden or Germany (just to name a few)

[@marselzeqiri2084]

I would love USA to participate, definitely many countries would vote 👍❤

[@SigridFrings]

HEY! Do not mess with "Wadde Hadde Du De Dah"! *LOL* The whole Contest was so old fashiend at that time... to mock it was the only right choice.

[@SigridFrings]

PS: and only 6 Persons are allowed on stage!

[@SigridFrings]

PS2: and Conchita Wurst (the winnig 'Drag') is not a Drag.

[@SigridFrings]

PS3: No, off couse not. You would looooooooose ;) But, if 'you' want you can... the USA is part of the EBU and each Member of this Union can be part of the ESC Family.

[@iaindj]

To host Eurovision costs between 35 and 50 million€. I think Russia spend 70 million€. Azerbaijan didn't have arena for Eurovision, so they built one in a year for 50 million€ and host it for another 50 million€. Around 3000 journalists and delegation members stay for two weeks during Eurovision. Irish delegation spent 336 000€ for two weeks in Israel in 2019.

[@LeeFearn43]

There are preperations going on for an American version. Americavision is going to debut in 2021 where all 51 states are going to compete. It is in the early stages but apparently preperations and talks are going well.

[@ZakhadWOW]

Wait..... 51 states? WTF did Trump do THIS TIME?? (roflmao)

[@raffaelae1020]

Eurovision has a bigger audience than the superball

[@ZakhadWOW]

superball? wow.... That is probably a better name for the event thatn the one used..LOL

[@markusosenius5317]

I'm fine with Australia competing. Outside Europe they probably are the bunch that follows the competition in the degree that they deserve a spot. I'm not aware of any other country outside Europe being so invested in this as Australia. Other than Israel. Letting anyone besides Australia in would probably just kill the competition.

[@IAmShouTucker]

Let's not forget that the Queen literally own the land Australia is on so..

[@just2coolkk]

well 3:57 Germany Stefan Raab won in 5th place that year, highest for germany since 1982. doesnt belong with the 2 before....

[@lukas2906]

Its not by taking extracts from 90 s that you can explain what eurovision is 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is official. First Eurovision America will start in 2021. I don't know is it among all countries in two Americas or among 50 states of America.

[@massimocantarelli4769]

That’s the collection of the worst part of eurovision over the years.. but i think you also have to compare the best parts.. and every year eurovision delivers a lot of great music!!!!

[@karlssonjlam]

The video you watched is not the most correct nor the best to describe and synthesize what Eurovision really is. This video gives more importance to the cliches, the ridiculous topics and the ridiculous performances that discredit the contest than to the quality and diversity of styles of many themes, the artists and the TV production.

[@thaleis]

If Eurovision is an exclusive “European” event I don’t understand why some countries like Israel has been authorized to be part of the contest the latest years. Plus, Russian and others former Soviet Union countries always vote for each other. It looks like a pretty cheap and expensive contest which don’t even have a diplomatic purpose anymore. As a French person I never liked it. Some great singers (ABBA, Celine Dion, Lara Fabian...) used to be part of the contest but I doubt Eurovision have never be useful for their big break for their respective careers... besides ABBA. Celine Dion returned in Canada and moved in USA no longer after that. In the other hand, Lara Fabian goes from Belgium to Canada and needed more years to build her own path... the most surprising fact for me was when an Australian expat in Paris told me she loved Eurovision and watched it since she was a little girl... I didn’t know the contest was broadcasted there...

[@swanpride]

It's not an European event, it is an event hosted by the Eurovision broadcaster, which MAINLY broadcasts in Europe, but not exclusively. Until one year ago Israel was one of the countries which used this broadcaster. Australia is the exception...they were simply invited because they were such huge fans of the contest as special act, and eventually they were allowed to compete too, simply because they were so excited about it and brought such great acts. I suspect that Eurovision has some sort of agreement with the local broadcaster to make this possible. And I do think that it still has a diplomatic purpose still. It's a great opportunity to show off your local culture, fans connect across countries with each other and while the "neighbour" voting is annoying, it is kind of part of the fan. Remember, most people don't really WANT their country to win, they just want to place highly enough that they haven't embarrassed themselves. Because the winner is forced to host, which doesn't really come cheap.

[@ykook7000]

you need to be a member of EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION which Australia is a member of!! Do not need to be a European country...a simple Google search would explain it...
