Yes! One of the absolute best Eurovision songs. Thank you, Jake! It’s the same Celine Dion we know and love, with a voice just as powerful as she has now! And yes, only vocals are live now, the orchestras were dropped in, 1999, I believe, since less countries were using them for their performances.
Finally 😉😁💗 I never requested this one but always knew, you're going to react to Celine sooner or later! Her voice is still the definition of beauty and perfection😍
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
You have seriously become one of my favorite youtubers to watch recently, you just seem like such a nice guy! :) Btw pleace react to ABBA with Waterloo 1974. Love from Sweden
Cool you’re going vintage winners. Cool fact: besides winning it, that same night, she and Rene took their relationship from platonic to romantic. It’s a double win for Ms. Dion! Other vintage winners you should react to: 1974 (its ABBA), 1978 (Israel’s first win), 1981 (strip!), 1982 and 1990 (peace songs from Big 5 counties), 1995 (majority instrumental), 1996 (Ireland’s last win), 1997 (Katrina “Walking On Sunshine” and the Waves won for the UK), and 1998 (Israel’s last win until this year).
Eurovision didn't exactly "launch" her career, although it did give it a bolster, and more exposure in Europe (France already well knew who Celine was at that time though). By 1988, Celine was already well on her way, having released many albums (albeit in french) and performed to sold-out concert halls and arenas. Also by the time Eurovision 1988 came around, Celine was in the process of being signed with CBS. It wasn't inked and permanent, but all the pieces of the puzzle were coming together for an English-language album release. Her manager Rene was forming important connections and acquaintances to make Celine into an international superstar. Just 2 years later, in 1990, Celine's first English album "Unison" was released...and the rest was history as they say.
Yay!! Thanks for your reaction to the queen😆😆 She just won by 1 point but had the biggest success alongside with ABBA😎 Btw, she wasn't a favourite to win before the live show but the UK one, but her powerful and charismatic live performance had blown the Europe away that brought her to victory!
Dustin aka dtcsk yeah and voting was one of the most exciting as Yugoslavia who voted last gave Celine Dion 6 points and no points to UK, so until they said their 12 there was a hope for UK that they will win.
The lyrics are actually about not wanting to be left behind as the world is heading towards the future/new century. She's addressing the poets and musicians of the future and wishing to keep singing as well. It's kind of an anthem to humanity you could say, and I think the uplifting lyrics were a big part of the reason why she won as well. :)
Her voice is the same because she tends to take care of it very well like all singers should do! Did you know that a day before a concert she doesn't speak not even one word for the hole day? She really respects the gift God gave her, that's why her voice is not different 30 years later
I've always known Celine Dion won Eurovision but never tried to watch her performance. So, I think you also should watch: Abba 1974 Toto Cutugno (Hope I spelled it right) 1990 Dana International 1998 Along with Celine, those are the most famous ESC winners ever.
Stanislav Fedenko Well, maybe the most famous winners, but there have been many famous songs and contestants in ESC. People probably don't know that the song Volare was in ESC. It was performed by Dominico Modugno from Italy (I think it was 1957 or 1958). Julio Iglesias competed for Spain in 1970. I'm pretty sure he has sold more albums than any single artist, ever... The original Jean Valjean (Colm Wilkinson) and Marius Pontmercy (Michael Ball) of Les Miserables has competed for Ireland and the UK. And Katrina and the Waves won for the UK. Other famous contestants include Bonnie Tyler, Engelbert Humperdinck, Il Volo, Jonsi, Blue, Jedward, Sertab Erener, MaNga, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Ofra Haza, France Gall, Åse Kleveland (later the minister of Culture in Norway), Patricia Kaas, t.A.T.u., Umberto Tozzi, Monica Zetterlund... And of course, ABBA.
Oops. Wrong Jonsi, btw. The one I was thinking of is Jonsi from Sigur Ros, who has composed music for films like We Bought a Zoo. The Jonsi that has competed in ESC is not the same person.
Thank You!Remember watching this w my mom,and I was so mad bc it looked like UK was winning and not this and I swore (as one does,-or did) that I never watch ESC again- But she finally won by 1p only-and we totally freaked out!Ah,happy days.. Love N Peace
Hello Jake, You're doing such a great job. It's quite unbelievable how You expose to eurovision and it's history and in such a short time You become an expert:-). I wish some day in the near future US will also take part in ESC:-) I wish You could react and expose to Dana International and the song DIVA, It would be great - Thanks in advance...!!!
I remember that I liked this song from the first time I heard it on the TV previews a week before the actual Eurovision. Then on Saturday the 1988 ESC was the first that I watched in its entirety. I was ten years of age and I remember the exitement when Switzerland won. My whole family had Céline as our favourite and we kept our fingers crossed and were delighted when she finally won with this great song!
1988 also had one of the most exciting voting conclusions. With the last country to vote, Switzerland received 7 points I think, and everybody and I mean everybody expected the 12 to go to the UK meaning the UK would be the winner. The UK didn't receive any! And Switzerland won. It was such a close finish!
Switzerland wun with only 1 point, I remember the voting 🙂I really feelt sorry for UK with Scott Fitzgerald and the song ”Go”, I really liked that one so Jake please if you see this please take a look and react to Scott🙂
It's crazy that her voice sounds the same. Amazing!!!!! Love your reaction. I'm seeing her in July 19, 2018 for the first time. I've been trying since 2004. lol!
she won in one of the most shocking votes ever....Switzerland and UK were the two frontrunners and when the last country reported, they gave enough points to Switzerland to put them one point ahead of UK, but it was like six or seven points, so the top amounts of points were left to be given out. People expected UK to get one of those top sets of points and win, based on how things were going, but that last country didn't give them any so UK was "pipped at the post," to borrow some British slang. :p
It is mainly about the astronauts. Lyrics: 1st verse: You, who are seeking the star You, who are living a dream You, heroes of space With hearts bigger than the Earth You, give me my chance, Carry me, far from here! CHORUS: Do not leave without me Let me follow you You, who are flying towards other lives Let me live The greatest adventure The most beautiful trip That leads one day On suns, on planets Of love [yeah, I find that corny too] 2nd verse: You, the new poets You, the magical birds You, you will maybe Find new musics You, give me my chance I want to sing, me too! CHORUS: Do not leave without me Let me follow you You who are flying towards other lives Let me live The blue of infinity The joy to be free On rays, on suns, On songs, on wonders And in a sky of love The blue of infinity The joy to be free You who are seeking another life You who are flying towards Year 2000 Do not leave without me!
I love how you stay so respectful of those entries. Obviously Céline’s win is our pride and joy even if she is Canadian, but the song is Swiss at least. Keep up the great videos and Eurovision has so many fun entries to watch 😂
This song opened my eyes for switzerland which I’ve loved ever since, specially since the great 1989 Eurovision in Lausanne. For so many years I wanted to visit wonderful Switzerland and finally I got there. And guess what...l even lived there for a couple of years!😊
@@lorofcb3 Zurich. Céline’s win, this song and the following year’s final in Lausanne made me fascinated by Switzerland and I actually got a bit obsessed about that country, even if l had never been there. I said to myself that I’ll live there one day. And I actually did. I spent four years in Switzerland. Zurich is a great place.
Iconic song in the history of Eurovision winners.It was iconic even before she became famous all over the planet. The next year Switzerland hosted the show and she sang another iconic jam where does my heart beat now
You should react to Bosnia and Herzegovina (2006) - 3th place. That is one of the strongest ballads from Eurovision, and also very cultural and emotional.
Orchestra was a thing on Eurovision until 1998. Since 1999 there are no conductors and live instruments at all. Only Belgium 2011 and Latvia 2006 was 100% live, because they sang a capella.
You should react to Iceland 2011. The story around that song is really heartwarming. The song was supposed to have been performed by the artist Sjonni Brink, who also composed it. Sadly, Sjonni died just a few weeks before the national contest. Instead six of Sjonni's closest friends got together and formed a band so they could compete with the song in his place, with the approval of Sjonni's family. To honor him they even named the band Sjonni's Friends. They only finished in 20th place, but it's still a good song. The name of the song is Coming Home
I was 4 years old when Celine won, I remember it well despite being so little, because for years afterwards I would refer to her as "the crying lady", because she cried when she won and during her winner performance at the end.
I remember it so well too. Me and my family watched it on TV and hoped for a Swiss win since we preferred Céline’s song to the UK entry. My Gosh it was so exciting! And she cried tears of joy and relief. So sweet!
I mean, French singing Celine Dion was everything when I was a kid 😁 I knew this song without even knowing it was for the Eurovision. The voice is strong because she takes care of it, and I remember at some point she had to stop speaking for a while to protect her voice so that’s why she still can sing so beautifully. Please react to Germany 1982, France 1990, France 1991 and Denmark 2000. 🙏🏾
Please react to Sofia Vossou - i Anoixi Greece 1991! Amazing song which is still played to this day even though it didn't place as high in the actual contest, a classic. Love your vids man 👍🏼
This song is one of my MOST favorite song ever to the Eurovision, beautiful melody, gorgeous arrangement and AMAZING vocals, I was shocked she barely won by 1 point, to me she should have won by miles but bttm line she won cause that was our world's destiny to meet Celine Dion!!! I knew 2 years prior in 1986 Switzerland is about to win something big, it had also an amazing Canadian singer and a beautiful song called "Pas Pour Moi " by Daniela Simmons I think check it out too but I knew it's coming for Switzerland to win and then 2 years later I think same composer wins with Celine, I wish she sang it in her concerts cause I know she can KILL it if she does it now.....LOVE it!!! another AMAZING song and singer that I want you to check out is Poland 1994 2nd place that to me should have WON n got robbed.
Omg finaaallyyy thank youuuu 😁😁😁😁 . Also react to Greece one of the best entry's Anixi (the saxophone guy killed it) but Vossou voice it's pure crystal also Mr Eurovision Johnny Logan and Cyprus entry with Euridiki with the song Teriazoume. And soooo many more I can't remember them all now lol. Oh you definitely must react to the Greek entry song Ellada xora tou fotos by Kaiti Garbi the camera man he was showing her face for 43 sec ( she is the only one who hold's this record)
Wonderful performance, so much fun! We sometimes miss the old days with the orchestra but technology moves on and so does the music contest. Can you please react to West Germany ESC entry in 1975, Joy Fleming "Ein lied kann eine brücke sein"? One of the best and most underrated performances (only received 15 points from the juries) and I think it should get more recognition. You will not regret it! 😊
Can you please react to esc 2013 Finland thats really crazy and surprising!! Also to my all time favourite Estonia 2015!! And here are some of the best non-english esc songs ever: -F.Y.R. Macedonia, Crono i belo, Caliopi (i can’t remember the year) she has very good vocals -Water, Bulgaria, 2007 it’s very......well confusing -2009, Estonia, Rändajad it’s very magical -Slovakia, Horehronie, 2010 it’s now one of the most listened esc song ever -also spain 2015 or 2012 both are really good
I sure miss the live orchestra it did so much to add to the live feel. She won this with one point over the UK. Speaking of live music react and I say it yet again react to Norway's 1995 winner Secret Garden song Nocturne.
She is singing about music. She is saying to give her a chance to sing as well as a pro. It's like she is addressing to people who made music business and saying to not leave her bihind, as she want to be part of that world. :)
She the win at the last very vote where the then leader (united kingdom) received no points from the last country and Celine only needed only a few points
You have GOT 2 react to osrael's entry for the 1983 esc! Ofra Haza with the song "Hai" (or Khai - means "alive" in hebrew). One of the BEST voices in the world! She later had 2 intl hits (based on Yemen traditional folk songs (eem nin'alu - if were locked and "galbi" - my heart). Early 90's she has died of aids. Her voice can be described as chimes. Her voice was also featured on the animation movie "Prince of Egypt ("deliver us") and even based moses' sister's image on her facial features.
Interesting fact: she won just by 1 point (137 Switzerland, 136 Yugoslavia). So i made some digin... She was well known in many countries like Canada (obviously) and France before ESC, she had like 7 albums. But after winning ESC she had a world tour, she made her first album in English in 1990 and for the first time made to american pop charts. Also her future husband kissed her for the first time shortly after finals of ESC (and they stayed together untill his death in 2016) and Celine herself admitted it was a breakthrough in their relationship. We cannot be sure of what would happened, because Celine is amazing singer, but who knows, maybe without that 1-2 points she might never become the huge Star she is today and possibly her husband wouldnt get cocky enough to kiss her to make that breakthrough. it's a small funny fact to know about. But its more crazy the more you think about it.
nacht98 shake it sakis rouvas 3rd place Helena paparizou - my number one 1st place Kalomira- my secret combination 3rd place Alcohol is free- 6th place Alkaios- opa 9th place Loukas yorkas 7th place Antique die for you 3rd place Yes...quite boring Hahahahaha You would be very happy if you were Greek
Jake! you have to react to Monatik which opened the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv with his song Spinning This guy is so cool! One of the best singers in Ukraine
If they can get Céline to perform this at the 2025 contest in Switzerland (now that Switzerland have just won again), I'll die happy. But I know that's a big if.
I am crying since she is sick och lost her voice I made songs and had gigs. I loved singing and then desease ruined my cords. I am so sorry that this Great singer has lost most of her voice. 😢😢😢
Anna Bergendahl is the only Swedish singer to not reach the final in ESC since the competition started. I voted for her in Sweden though and liked her song. I mean, it wasn't that bad. Malena Ernmans Is Voix is a crazy ESC song though.
Great reaction Jake! But if you're gonna react to the old winners can you start from the beginning in 1956 and watch them in chronological order? Watching them that way is an amazing experience because you can really see how the contest and music in general have evolved over the last 63 years.
If you are as old as I, you could react to 1958's "Nel Blu Depinto de Blu"(Volare). I never knew it came from ESC. It was a hit from nowhere in the US that summer. Thanks.
Because she takes care of her talent, she doesn't drink alcohol, took hiatus a couple times, and lip sync, she knows exactly how to take care of her voice
I just wanted to propose the same. In this case it's especially important to listen without any prior information. Thx in advance and congratulations to Jake on 11k subscribers! Greetings from Austria!
I mostly remember the fantastic voting sequence when the last jury from Yugoslavia gave her a 1 point advantage over the United Kingdom knocking Scott Fitzgerald off the victory at the last moment.
Happy Birthday Celine! Thanks Jake - you are one of the best reactors on RUclips! Keep them coming!
Yes! One of the absolute best Eurovision songs. Thank you, Jake! It’s the same Celine Dion we know and love, with a voice just as powerful as she has now! And yes, only vocals are live now, the orchestras were dropped in, 1999, I believe, since less countries were using them for their performances.
Incredible voice, Celine is still gorgeous.
React to ABBA Waterloo Sweden 1974
Pretty sure he's already heard the song. And the performance is nothing special. So not sure how interesting that would be as a reaction video.
#Throwback Celine was 20 years old at the time. Classic. I miss the orchestra!
I really wish we could have live orchestra now but I guess it would be much more expansive , but if it was up to me I would have a live orchestra🙂
I'm not sure if its true, but there is talks of a hollogram orchestra in Rotterdam 2020
Finally 😉😁💗 I never requested this one but always knew, you're going to react to Celine sooner or later! Her voice is still the definition of beauty and perfection😍
It´s too "nasal", but it´s just my opinion, of course. To the worlds she´s a Diva and I respect
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
Classic. You should watch ABBA next then. They won in 1974.
You have seriously become one of my favorite youtubers to watch recently, you just seem like such a nice guy! :) Btw pleace react to ABBA with Waterloo 1974. Love from Sweden
Cool you’re going vintage winners. Cool fact: besides winning it, that same night, she and Rene took their relationship from platonic to romantic. It’s a double win for Ms. Dion!
Other vintage winners you should react to:
1974 (its ABBA), 1978 (Israel’s first win), 1981 (strip!), 1982 and 1990 (peace songs from Big 5 counties), 1995 (majority instrumental), 1996 (Ireland’s last win), 1997 (Katrina “Walking On Sunshine” and the Waves won for the UK), and 1998 (Israel’s last win until this year).
Eurovision didn't exactly "launch" her career, although it did give it a bolster, and more exposure in Europe (France already well knew who Celine was at that time though). By 1988, Celine was already well on her way, having released many albums (albeit in french) and performed to sold-out concert halls and arenas. Also by the time Eurovision 1988 came around, Celine was in the process of being signed with CBS. It wasn't inked and permanent, but all the pieces of the puzzle were coming together for an English-language album release. Her manager Rene was forming important connections and acquaintances to make Celine into an international superstar. Just 2 years later, in 1990, Celine's first English album "Unison" was released...and the rest was history as they say.
Musically, this song easily surpasses all those since! Hardly anyone remembers the winning songs from the last 15 contests ...
REACT to 1995 NORWAY winning entry. Secret Garden "Nocturne"
ESC changed their rules for songs after that.... :O :O :O
Thank you for reacting to the best ESC entry ever!❤❤❤
Oh you're going so far yess. Then I just have to request you to react to *1995* Winning entry from *Norway. "Nocturne" - Secret Garden*
omg yes pls, one of the best quality of ESC
My fave ESC winner yesssss
Eurovision Estonia OMG PLEASE!!! My favorite 90s winner...
VIVA CELINE!!! VIVA WHITNEY!!! DIVAS FOREVER.
Las voces mas importantes de mi vida.
Thanks for reaction!!!
Darling son las voces más importantes de la música...
Yay!! Thanks for your reaction to the queen😆😆 She just won by 1 point but had the biggest success alongside with ABBA😎
Btw, she wasn't a favourite to win before the live show but the UK one, but her powerful and charismatic live performance had blown the Europe away that brought her to victory!

She's addressing the poets and musicians of the future and wishing to keep singing as well. It's kind of an anthem to humanity you could say, and I think the uplifting lyrics were a big part of the reason why she won as well. :)
So this contest was always about politics?
eurovision will always have something political about it.
Her voice is the same because she tends to take care of it very well like all singers should do! Did you know that a day before a concert she doesn't speak not even one word for the hole day? She really respects the gift God gave her, that's why her voice is not different 30 years later
I've always known Celine Dion won Eurovision but never tried to watch her performance.
So, I think you also should watch:
Abba 1974
Toto Cutugno (Hope I spelled it right) 1990
Dana International 1998
Along with Celine, those are the most famous ESC winners ever.
Stanislav Fedenko Well, maybe the most famous winners, but there have been many famous songs and contestants in ESC. People probably don't know that the song Volare was in ESC. It was performed by Dominico Modugno from Italy (I think it was 1957 or 1958). Julio Iglesias competed for Spain in 1970. I'm pretty sure he has sold more albums than any single artist, ever... The original Jean Valjean (Colm Wilkinson) and Marius Pontmercy (Michael Ball) of Les Miserables has competed for Ireland and the UK. And Katrina and the Waves won for the UK. Other famous contestants include Bonnie Tyler, Engelbert Humperdinck, Il Volo, Jonsi, Blue, Jedward, Sertab Erener, MaNga, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Ofra Haza, France Gall, Åse Kleveland (later the minister of Culture in Norway), Patricia Kaas, t.A.T.u., Umberto Tozzi, Monica Zetterlund... And of course, ABBA.
Oops. Wrong Jonsi, btw. The one I was thinking of is Jonsi from Sigur Ros, who has composed music for films like We Bought a Zoo. The Jonsi that has competed in ESC is not the same person.
Voting in the 1988. was for sure the most exciting in Eurovision history. :)
Peter Jovanović 2003?
Oh, yes, 2003. too. :)
1991 would have been if they showed the score board more and spoke English lmao, that year was a mess
Thank You!Remember watching this w my mom,and I was so mad bc it looked like UK was winning
and not this and I swore (as one does,-or did) that I never watch ESC again- But she finally won by 1p only-and we totally freaked out!Ah,happy days..
Love N Peace
Yay oldies!!! Most of my a favourite song are pre-2000
Hello Jake, You're doing such a great job. It's quite unbelievable how You expose to eurovision and it's history and in such a short time You become an expert:-). I wish some day in the near future US will also take part in ESC:-) I wish You could react and expose to Dana International and the song DIVA, It would be great - Thanks in advance...!!!

Please react to eurovision 1987 Ireland Johnny Logan - hold me now. Greetings from Australia
It's crazy that her voice sounds the same. Amazing!!!!! Love your reaction. I'm seeing her in July 19, 2018 for the first time. I've been trying since 2004. lol!
React to Secret Garden Nocturne 1995 Winner.
Inal Baggins Yes!!!!
And Spain 1995 - Vuelve Conmigo (2nd place)
Yes!
she won in one of the most shocking votes ever....Switzerland and UK were the two frontrunners and when the last country reported, they gave enough points to Switzerland to put them one point ahead of UK, but it was like six or seven points, so the top amounts of points were left to be given out. People expected UK to get one of those top sets of points and win, based on how things were going, but that last country didn't give them any so UK was "pipped at the post," to borrow some British slang. :p
I miss the live orchestra 😭
The got rid of it in 1999 :(
I don’t, it can ruin songs these days
Hmm it's to unpractical, you can't expect a full orchestra to learn 43 songs, to much time and expensive. But I miss it to sometimes.
Person Me too!
yeah it's expensive, but it's not like they'd have to memorize the songs they have sheet music
It is mainly about the astronauts.
Lyrics:
1st verse:
You, who are seeking the star
You, who are living a dream
You, heroes of space
With hearts bigger than the Earth
You, give me my chance,
Carry me, far from here!
CHORUS:
Do not leave without me
Let me follow you
You, who are flying towards other lives
Let me live
The greatest adventure
The most beautiful trip
That leads one day
On suns, on planets
Of love [yeah, I find that corny too]
2nd verse:
You, the new poets
You, the magical birds
You, you will maybe
Find new musics
You, give me my chance
I want to sing, me too!
CHORUS:
Do not leave without me
Let me follow you
You who are flying towards other lives
Let me live
The blue of infinity
The joy to be free
On rays, on suns,
On songs, on wonders
And in a sky of love
The blue of infinity
The joy to be free
You who are seeking another life
You who are flying towards Year 2000
Do not leave without me!
One of the best songs ever to win eurovision. Well done Switzerland, 30 years ago you gave us CELINE!!
I requested this so many times. Thank you so much Jake :)
I love how you stay so respectful of those entries. Obviously Céline’s win is our pride and joy even if she is Canadian, but the song is Swiss at least.
Keep up the great videos and Eurovision has so many fun entries to watch 😂

She won just before the UK, and it's the last time a French language song won Eurovision.
Orchestra was a thing on Eurovision until 1998. Since 1999 there are no conductors and live instruments at all. Only Belgium 2011 and Latvia 2006 was 100% live, because they sang a capella.

I knew 2 years prior in 1986 Switzerland is about to win something big, it had also an amazing Canadian singer and a beautiful song called "Pas Pour Moi " by Daniela Simmons I think check it out too but I knew it's coming for Switzerland to win and then 2 years later I think same composer wins with Celine, I wish she sang it in her concerts cause I know she can KILL it if she does it now.....LOVE it!!!
another AMAZING song and singer that I want you to check out is Poland 1994 2nd place that to me should have WON n got robbed.
Please react to Estonia 2009!! Chilling
Bridget J I have a feeling he'll like this one...
You should react to Love love peace peace (How to create the perfect eurovision) by Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlöw! It's from eurovision 2016
he did, but he had to remove the video.
Yes finally the video I requested!!!
You should watch the voting for this. So close between this and UK. Right down to the final votes. Super exciting
React to Dana International -Diva 1998 Eurovision winner!
One of the best songs that won the Eurovision
She desert Winner ... She is the best
One of the best esc songs before 2000.
Omg finaaallyyy thank youuuu 😁😁😁😁 . Also react to Greece one of the best entry's Anixi (the saxophone guy killed it) but Vossou voice it's pure crystal also Mr Eurovision Johnny Logan and Cyprus entry with Euridiki with the song Teriazoume. And soooo many more I can't remember them all now lol. Oh you definitely must react to the Greek entry song Ellada xora tou fotos by Kaiti Garbi the camera man he was showing her face for 43 sec ( she is the only one who hold's this record)
Wonderful performance, so much fun! We sometimes miss the old days with the orchestra but technology moves on and so does the music contest.
Can you please react to West Germany ESC entry in 1975, Joy Fleming "Ein lied kann eine brücke sein"? One of the best and most underrated performances (only received 15 points from the juries) and I think it should get more recognition. You will not regret it! 😊
React to Great Britain this year 1988 - second place. Beautiful song...
Dashka Solo very beatiful song, that song was my favoriter 1988🙂
She won by one single point. UK was second. Her and ABBA we're the biggest stars to ever come from Eurovision.
Can you please react to esc 2013 Finland thats really crazy and surprising!! Also to my all time favourite Estonia 2015!!
And here are some of the best non-english esc songs ever:
-F.Y.R. Macedonia, Crono i belo, Caliopi (i can’t remember the year) she has very good vocals
-Water, Bulgaria, 2007 it’s very......well confusing
-2009, Estonia, Rändajad it’s very magical
-Slovakia, Horehronie, 2010 it’s now one of the most listened esc song ever
-also spain 2015 or 2012 both are really good
I sure miss the live orchestra it did so much to add to the live feel.
She won this with one point over the UK.
Speaking of live music react and I say it yet again react to Norway's 1995 winner Secret Garden song Nocturne.
She is singing about music. She is saying to give her a chance to sing as well as a pro. It's like she is addressing to people who made music business and saying to not leave her bihind, as she want to be part of that world. :)
React Jake to Lane Moje 2004 Serbia and Montenegro
Every time I hear this I think of "Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son".
React to Albania 2012! Plsss
Semiha Yankı-seninle bir dakika
1975 eurovision first participation of TURKEY
You are so handsome, Gary, London England xx
She the win at the last very vote where the then leader (united kingdom) received no points from the last country and Celine only needed only a few points
lara fabian represented luxembourg in 1988 and finished on the 4 place
She won it right here in Dublin.
That day born one Star
You have GOT 2 react to osrael's entry for the 1983 esc!
Ofra Haza with the song "Hai" (or Khai - means "alive" in hebrew).
One of the BEST voices in the world!
She later had 2 intl hits (based on Yemen traditional folk songs (eem nin'alu - if were locked and "galbi" - my heart).
Early 90's she has died of aids.
Her voice can be described as chimes.
Her voice was also featured on the animation movie "Prince of Egypt ("deliver us") and even based moses' sister's image on her facial features.
Interesting fact: she won just by 1 point (137 Switzerland, 136 Yugoslavia).
So i made some digin...
She was well known in many countries like Canada (obviously) and France before ESC, she had like 7 albums. But after winning ESC she had a world tour, she made her first album in English in 1990 and for the first time made to american pop charts. Also her future husband kissed her for the first time shortly after finals of ESC (and they stayed together untill his death in 2016) and Celine herself admitted it was a breakthrough in their relationship.
We cannot be sure of what would happened, because Celine is amazing singer, but who knows, maybe without that 1-2 points she might never become the huge Star she is today and possibly her husband wouldnt get cocky enough to kiss her to make that breakthrough.
it's a small funny fact to know about. But its more crazy the more you think about it.
In those days countries had to sing in their own language. That was Nice. Also singing with a real orchestra.
Please start reacting to the Greek songs 🌼💙
greek songs are boring as hell.
nacht98 shake it sakis rouvas 3rd place
Helena paparizou - my number one 1st place
Kalomira- my secret combination 3rd place
Alcohol is free- 6th place
Alkaios- opa 9th place
Loukas yorkas 7th place
Antique die for you 3rd place
Yes...quite boring
Hahahahaha
You would be very happy if you were Greek
Denmark 2000, Lithuania 2006 and Romania 2013 are musts for you to react to :) !
Jake! you have to react to Monatik which opened the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv with his song Spinning
This guy is so cool! One of the best singers in Ukraine
If they can get Céline to perform this at the 2025 contest in Switzerland (now that Switzerland have just won again), I'll die happy. But I know that's a big if.
I am crying since she is sick och lost her voice
I made songs and had gigs. I loved singing and then desease ruined my cords.
I am so sorry that this Great singer has lost most of her voice. 😢😢😢
Anna Bergendahl is the only Swedish singer to not reach the final in ESC since the competition started. I voted for her in Sweden though and liked her song. I mean, it wasn't that bad. Malena Ernmans Is Voix is a crazy ESC song though.
I love this song and I listen to it every now and then. But I prefer this live performance way better than studio version.
Great reaction Jake! But if you're gonna react to the old winners can you start from the beginning in 1956 and watch them in chronological order? Watching them that way is an amazing experience because you can really see how the contest and music in general have evolved over the last 63 years.
Very nice voice ilove it
has he done Pastora soler quedate conmigo the best Spain entry ever?
Jaime Michel no
I insist please do, Pastora soler's quedate conmigo, I think she got the 10th place in 2012 but for me is one of the Best performances ever
🖑 please react to 10x Celine Dion vocals had me shooked!!! 👍👍
Celine is a Queen music
If you are as old as I, you could react to 1958's "Nel Blu Depinto de Blu"(Volare). I never knew it came from ESC. It was a hit from nowhere in the US that summer. Thanks.
React to Bosnia&Herzegovina 2006 which came third and serbia 2012 which also came third please
Because she takes care of her talent, she doesn't drink alcohol, took hiatus a couple times, and lip sync, she knows exactly how to take care of her voice
Go Switzerland 😄🇨🇭
Please please react to celine dion can't help falling in love live 1993, 😀😁
You are amazing Jake. Please react to France 1989.
React to Sandra Kim Belgium 1986 winner? =) Thanks in advance.
I just wanted to propose the same. In this case it's especially important to listen without any prior information. Thx in advance and congratulations to Jake on 11k subscribers! Greetings from Austria!
I mostly remember the fantastic voting sequence when the last jury from Yugoslavia gave her a 1 point advantage over the United Kingdom knocking Scott Fitzgerald off the victory at the last moment.
React to LTU united, they were in 2006 eurovision and came in 6th, the group is from Lithuania
