Mike getting drunk and yelling at the screen complaining about the voting... He has actually become like every European on Eurovision night lol
Oh.. that was not drunk Mike!! Just.. competitive Mike!!
Is it OK, that now I want to move to the US just to watch the ESC2021 with you, guys? Vinny is pretty great, he got the result that for Mike and Lauren took a few shows to achieve. Good job, that was nice to watch! :)
@@TheFreeGreenChannel I think they live in Japan
Yess AND first ice cream in year. It's like scandinavian block, russian block..germay-turkey connection, iberian peninsula with romania :) it's fun!
@@TheFreeGreenChannel yeah they all live in Japan so no point in going to the US
”This is bullshit”. Things every Eurovision fan has said at least once a year. 😁
Maybe twice. It's also on semi finals ;)
@@PiotrKe Should not forget the National Finals(+semis) 😃 They can hurt even worse at times. 😃
@@TheTerkzzz (KEiiNO loss in Norway this year)
Also the „yeah, what ever!“ at the final results. 😂
Mike's reaction represents every Eurofan every year, the best!
always get a kick out of seeing people's first-time reactions to Sergey's performance when he starts hopping across the screen - perfection :)
My favorite thing forever is watching somebody's reaction to Sergey's entry and seeing Alex who knows exactly what will happen next
Yeah, some new tricks from Russian and Swedish tech there....
The bestr song on Eurovision 2016 - "Love Love Peace Peace"
Mike was all of us when we saw it in 2016😂
He was me because Poland was totally robbed (duh!) but also not me because I rooted hard for Ukraine.
"WAIT, WHO IS THE JURY?!"
Lauren, girl we all have asked this very same question ourselves at least once a year. We feel you.
JURY TRANSPARENCY NOW
One of them is the winner from the year before..

@@alexandrumic I'll get them done on the 2017 video a bit faster than this haha
Mike is ready to move to Europe hahahaha he passed the test with "this is bullshit"
Omg, I'm from Poland and I remember watching it live and being so stressed with the voting part 😂 The jury is never fair, so places of some of the countries weren't suprise but thankfully people has their voice here too lol
This year where the one where I understood that the jury was utter bullshit. Like Poland was amazing that year and the jury gave them nothing? Luckily the people gave the juries a swift kick in the ass, by giving them so many points!
The televote is just as bad in many regards. Often they balance each other out so that the winner is deserving (with few exceptions), but the mid-to-low placing countries rarely get their due (some are way too high, others get no points at all when they're just as bland and insipid as some songs that placed 6th through 20th)
yeah i also didn't understand the Jury in regards to the polish entry that year. But the people gave it what it deserved.
LOVE this reaction, the dislike of Sweden's song was just so funny to me, And their reaction to the voting was brilliant :') they're officially eurofans now!!
Oscar Zia was ROBBED that year in Mello. Frans didnt even SING, he Talky-talked the whole damn thing..
@@ZakhadWOW the song was Human right?
@@MultiEmman99 that is correct.. I did catch Oscar hosting Delt. 2 with Anis the other day.. and the quick segments where he looks longingly at Anton Ewald were both hilarious and a bit close to home for me.. I dont know , but if Anton isnt already a model, HE SHOULD BE with dose eyes o.0
@@ZakhadWOW I mean I like Frans a bit but yea Oscar was seriously robbed that year
@@ZakhadWOW He appealed to the teenage girls around europe. It was just a cute boy look that he had., Plus that he is mixed raced. Extra points for euro. Just explaing things peropel dont want to talk about but that are real... and cool so i dont get why not
The new guy must have been so confused during the Interval act 😂
producer: how many seizures you wanna cause?
Georgia: yes
Guys Aussievision from Australia here - we LOVED this! Great choices by you all - Poland, Netherlands, Russia and of course Australia!
Nice reactions, guys! Especially when Sergey started to climb on the giant wall screen 😂
The problem the UK has is not that their song is always bottom of everyone’s list, it’s that it’s always 15-20th on *everyone’s* list. So it doesn’t score, because it needs to be in the top 10 of someone’s. The UK is often better than some of the songs that score better than it, but they get a handful of points from random countries that really like that unusual genre or whatever. The UK needs something braver: even if it alienates some, it will attract a few points as well.
nope its everyone's last
No yea I hate to disappoint you but it’s generally last in everyone’s list. 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2019 especially
I kinda agree with you!! I would put them last almost any year.. but then they don’t crack my top 10 either!!
To be honest... it doesn't help they always go safe and boring... the only country able to get away with such shenanigans is Denmark, which imo is disgusting in itself
We came second to last when a random man runs onto the stage and takes the girls mic! the bravery she showed deserved better than second to last that one, also the song was 'hold your head up don't give up' one of the best realest songs in Eurovision history considering what happened and well last place for the Uk.
What a charismatic quartet! Please please please continue with Lauren, Mike and Vinny for the next few Eurovision years cause they had such great vibes and they were getting along soooooooo well! Loved it! :D
Yeah don’t worry, as a Swede I was also shocked that he came 5th. I really thought he would miss out on the televotes completely, but there must be a lot of kids out there in Europe voting! 😅 The most upsetting part is that we had so many good songs in the Swedish selection that year that I was raging when he won. Unbelievable. It would be so funny if you guys reacted to the Swedish final that year to see why it’s so surprising he won. 😂
Oscar Zia and Wiktoria was sooooo good :(
Mike, we feel it every year 😂 welcome to ESC
I’m one of the Americans who watched 2016 live as it aired here for the first time. Honestly didn’t think it could get any better than that year, but every year since has just continually amazed me. The staging, the songs, the performances, the videography, everything just keeps getting better!
I was totally Mike, though, during the scoring. I suddenly realized why my European friends would complain about the scoring after experiencing it live myself. Nice to see the experience can happen when watching it for the first time years later. Though I do think that over time as I’ve listened to the album more on repeat that certain songs I didn’t initially like I have found that I like them more today than then. I’m not saying I think the juries were right, I’m just saying that maybe I didn’t fully appreciate some songs early on that the juries seemed to like more than me at the time. Then again, I didn’t initially like Russia’s song that much but then the performance was just so interesting that I kinda hoped it would win just for that. Also definitely understand when Alex says things like “wrong artist right song” type of things as I’ve listened to other songs by many Eurovision artists and found some that I like their other songs way better than what they sang at Eurovision.
“Don’t under estimate the power of teen girls” and “they probably used every phone in the house to vote” I think are the iconic lines for me in this video because it’s so true, though let’s be honest it’s really a combination of straight/bi/pan teen girls and gay/bi/pan teen boys doing that kind of thing! ;-)
@@jamslam5641 Yep you’re correct. It was being broadcast by LOGO-TV in the US (only the Grand Final), but after 2018 they decided not to continue. I was only able to watch the 2019 Eurovision because Netflix in the US now has the rights to stream it (both semi-finals and the final), but it isn’t live. Which I’ll admit does make it feel kinda different since I already knew the winner before I could watch it. Last year a friend of mine told me to try the Swedish broadcaster’s website in order to watch the Eurovision special and I was able to watch it there. Otherwise most broadcasters and even the Eurovision RUclips channel geoblocks the US during live streamcasts (though sometimes they unblock some content afterwards). On the plus side I can watch the music videos, interviews, and lots of other recorded content on the channels. A friend that lives in California recommended getting a VPN as he uses it to watch many tv shows. He’s originally from Scotland and his roommate is from Japan so they use a VPN to access things on the internet from their home nations that would otherwise be geoblocked in the US.
It will come to US soon...
This video did NOT disappoint. I cannot wait for the next one :D
I love how Vinny's top 5 is EXACTLY the televoting top 5! Include him in further reactions! :D
All in all they did a pretty damn good job picking the countries in the top 10. They're getting good at gauging entries and their placement, especially based on televoters lol.
It is so nice to relive these memories together with you. Thank you so much for it.
That's one of the problems of the jury system : Them and the public are straight up not voting on the same songs. They're voting on 2 totally different performances
Not always, in 2017 Croatian jury and voters gave Hungary perfect 24. There were probably more but for this one i'm sure.
But what for juries are then? Why they should be agree with the public?
@@ytspa6807 They dont have toagree with the public, they should vote how they want (or by whatever stupid specific criterias that esc require). The thing is that the juries and tele voters are voting on 2 separate performances, on 2 different days.
@@st4bexpert but together these two ways give the most appropriate results
@@ytspa6807 I don't get your point at all but whatever.
Lol I connected to Mike on spiritual level when he reacted to the votes
"Petra how'd you let this happen?!"
Really was the best year ! Ah miss these carefree days!
Yeees... I think they had the best show..
This re-traumatized me, ngl. I was so angry that year and I still am.
At what exactly?
Yes
Mike was a whole throughout the announcement. Proper Eurovision fan.
I personally think Ukraine's song is so much better even if we put aside the tragic war; however it's so hilarious watching Americans react the way every European fan reacts to the results when we disagree. I hope in other videos they can get a taste of all the political voting like Greece and Cyprus etc, just to get the full Eurovision experience :D
38:29 Whole Europe thougt that in that moment
The Sweden Song is still regularly playing on the Radio here in Germany :D
This was my favorite overall year to watch too. Not my favorite with the songs, but best in overall production. I was front row for the Final, and watching Georgia and Russia in the arena was amazing
I found out that my favourite songs from Eurovsion since 2010... Are in 2016. Not in order:
Poli Genova - "If Love Was a Crime"
Iveta Mukuchyan - "LoveWave"
Zoë - "Loin d'ici"
Laura Tesoro - "What's the Pressure"
Francesca Michielin - "No Degree of Separation"
Dami Im - "Sound of Silence"
All the PTSD from Australia not getting enough televotes to win...arrrgh. Great vid guys
Wow Vinny's top 5 is the exact same as the televote. He is the voice of the people!
Poland was my fav, number 1!! I was so pissed at how jury has voted. They always do it..vote shitty. But people did the justice of course.. In your face stupid jury!! I also loved Croatia, Serbia, Austria, Finland, Azerbaijan, Russia.
This is what the jury does with Poland each year.
My sister was so pissed, she stopped watching eurovision.
I liked this year because it showed the tension between Russia and Ukraine right to the end
And now : (
I'm with Lauren: Barei deserved top5! It's been 5 years and I'm stil shocked by the result
Yeah, I'm like "Guess the best I can do now is stream the song hard".
In the beginning of Russian song when they are impressed with the wings on the screen you can see Alexandr thinking "Oh honey...you haven't see all the magic yet" :-)
Loved this video so much! 2016 is my favourite eurovision year and you, Mike and Lauren are my favourite reactors to hang out with for an hour from the comfort of my home haha
This was your best yet. Their reactions were great. Love that they saw the voting to and Mikes reactions were amazing. Your voting with the guys was nearly as good as the rael ones.
Frans (Sweden) was 17 at the time. He became known in Sweden when he sang a song about Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he was 7 years old. It is called "Who's da man" or something like that!
Zlatan has a song about himself???? Is it in English?
@@alexandrumic no it is in swedish, but with some words in english and german. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/ApOmHYds_TY/видео.html
This is so much fun to see because this is actually what ESC is about and its charm! Humas on a couch having a great time with their own favorits, friendly arguing and having fun. That is the charm of it. Great videos.
1 hour of great Eurovision content on a lazy Sunday. Thank you so much!
2016 was spectacular. Speaking of Ukraine, you can see how their mood changed when the song started. It really created a special moment on the stage.
Poland was terribly hurt by the jury in 2016 🥺
ESC Stockholm 2016 = the best show ever!
I don’t really understand how Frans (the singer from Sweden) managed to with mellodifestivalen in 2016. There were so many good songs that year. I would personally have placed “If I were sorry seventh in the mellodifestivalen final that year.
Lauren with that sneaky win is everything
love these full eurovision reactions, keep them coming! :D
Laura, Samra, Dami, Francesca, Iveta, Joe & Jake… so many good good good songs! No matter the winner or the losers, they’re all gonna stay in my Eurovision playlist! Thank you guys for this video, especially you Alex! 😘
Thank you!!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!
Seeing you guys arguing over the jury votes... just like me at home on the night hahah!
It's awesome how they get Eurovision now! Best reaction video so far! Greetings from Costa Rica!!!
Wow, you all look just like us when we watch Eurovision. Lots of swearing, gasps, cheering and booing during the voting. Afterwards when the competition element wears of I always learn to appreciate the other songs more. But it's always lots of fun. Thank you for sharing! You guys are great!
I would like to see this girl again,at watching next Eurovision
Can't wait to see the Americans watching Yodel It! Damn😍
Omg I forgot about that one!!!
@@alexandrumic i hope u didn't forget about Dihaj
@@alexandrumic And My Friend...
Love these videos!!! Such a great work both on editing and reacting, keep it up :)
Thanks for the video!!! Always like to see the reaction of first time viewers. Am sure there were times when Alex couldn’t contain himself. These videos are as entertaining as the contest itself. Love love the video and peace peace to you guys :-)
It was so cool to spend time with you again 🤩
Loooove the reaction, and yes 2016 is probably the best one for me too.
I understand about Poland vote by the juries, that is just not right, it was one of the best song and also a very good performance.
And I actually don't mind about Ukraine winning, the song is good, and the performance is actually also very moving.
But for me the songs on the top 3 are not a song that I would listen to regularly tho. My favourite from 2016 is France, love the song and still listening to it to this day.
Btw I would looooove to see them react to the songs that did not qualify from this year or even years back, because there are some hidden gems in there and also there are some memorable act or song that is very interesting or good.
Juries don't judge off the final performance, but the rehearsals. He could've had a dud, there. Or the song just wasn't right for that time. It's pretty meh to me anyway, but deserved more points.
Love these reactions, can't wait for more! Alex is such a mood, I am also shaking in my seat trying not to sing the songs or reveal my favs when showing friends. As for the results, my 2016 winner (and one of my favorite esc songs) was Czech Republic, so you can imagine what that 0 points did to me.
Honestly can't stand the hate against Belgium. It's a good, uplifting song, but they treated it like trash. Laura did amazing, not only singing well, but dancing throughout too.
Yay! Been waiting for this one for so long! Missing the JT reaction though ;) I'm a Swede and I can't believe that we did this good that year! I think it was the scaled down staging that made it feel intimate and memorable. But a lot of people felt the same as you guys because Sweden has been taking huge hits in the public voting ever since.
this is so fun to watch! thanks for these videos
I can't wait for them to react to 2017 my fav year and the year i got into Eurovision
Okay, so who is hyped to see them react to Epic Sax Guy, part 2? Cause I am 😂
Omg!!! This was so epic! Thanks for this video reaction 👏🏻
Keep going on like this Alex, u rock.
2016 was definitely the best year. Not only in terms of the songs but the show overall. Great memories. And the reaction video is also awesome. :D
finally the best ESC ever. At the time ESC was going: 1) Ukraine 2) Spain 3) Malta 4) Hungary 5) Czech Rep. After 5 years I still listen Spain, Malta, Hungary, Armenia, but Israel the most. I can't believe how much I underrated that song in 2016, IMO after Zeljko Joksimovic, Made of stars is the best ballad of the decade. BTW I am from Poland and it was a crime :) Poland is never liked by juries (probably only San Marino is worse in history in average jury scoring), but great majority of times it is strongly justified.That year it was not.
And if the Umbrella cover is at the bottom, you should know how strong that year was (also not qualifying f.e. Iceland, which I listen still very often, maybe even more often than Israel)
“Ukraine will get the political vote fook off!” That’s a solid mood there Mike
I was waiting for this. Thanks Alex you re the only youtuber in that content and they re out of eurovision fan bubble. At least we can see how random televoters react to songs and performances etc... Like their poland reaction etc.. When will we watch esc 2017 ?
I waited for this!! Great reactions!
where did you watch this? in germany the 2016 show from the official eurovision channel is blocked for some reason :( also fun fact: sweden's song from that year is one of the most played eurovision songs on german radio, i hear it constantly!
I find that so strange... I never listened to that song... maybe it is not an organic request from the people but rather a good marketing from the label that produces it...
@@alexandrumic The song was a hit all over Europe. In Sweden it went 7x Platinum with almost 60 million sales.
The 2016 show is blocked in Austria too. I was pretty pissed about it, I liked many of the songs and really wanted to see the whole thing...
@@minano-nim6795 yeah me too! I hope they will unblock it eventually..
I still like our 🇸🇪 2016 song and think it has aged well together with the Australian, Bulgarian and Russian songs. The not so much imo. Russia’s song and performance was majestic!
I looove these! Thank you so much!!! 💖
You notice how they didn’t talk anything at all when Ukraine was performing, yes that performance was spectacular. Just speechless and shocked at a piece of art that is so emotional, so artsy and aesthetic. She was the best winner ever in my opinion, just embracing art in her own way. Love Jamala, love you guys!
THen she had to open her big mouth and screw poor Maruv out of a trip to ESC...
@@ZakhadWOW Sorry babe it's your Maruv that decided to head out, not her 😬
👌💖
@Tesla-Effect it was Vinny's top 2?
@Tesla-Effect Russia was one of those they were not amazed of lmao. It was new, they were impressed and found it really interesting, but amazed? I don’t think. I said they were amazed by Ukraine not only of the song and the staging, but also Jamala’s stage presence and emotion. They even agreed that Spain’s song is better than Russia’s...
What a great video!!! I want to invite you all to see the next esc in my living room!
Especially Mike is great, this ist the right tone he got, every Eurovision fan every year
Alex please make them watch older eurovisions like 1988, 1989 or 1998 and 1999, this would be hilarious
Reeperbahn is in Hamburg btw :D
Love your videos! 2016 was indeed one of the best years
I never react to videos but I was watching all of their reactions this week and thought WHERE is 2016?! Did I manifest this?
Love this reaction....i wait for another year reaction...nice team!!!keep going...
Yeah, I’m Swedish and I was disappointed and surprised that we placed so high that year. Fun fact though, Frans (the Swedish singer) is most known in Sweden for singing a song about how cool and good Zlatan Ibrahimović is when he was 10 years old.
Frans was amazing !! I voted for him! From Bulgaria 🇧🇬
My favourite year too; very entertaining observations and commentary. Thank you!
Fun fact: Serbias contestant from 2016 and one of her background singers actually are members of the girl troup Hurricane and have competed at the ESC this year for Serbia again.
And Frans song " I was sorry" was really popular after the ESC in whole Europe. It was in the top of the charts for a long time and still is getting played in the radio often until now🙈
Well - "Love, love - Peace, peace" should win every year!
This was great, can't wait for 2017.
Luv from Poland for all of you !!! Now You know how we felt in 2016
Yesss, finally, my favorite Eurovision of all the time and the last top 10 from my country, France.
So excited to see 2017, 2018 and please, after this do the same with 2010, 2011 & 2019 (with all the songs this time) and with the 2000's shows.
This was so much fun, thanks!
Love yours reactions🖤 can't wait for ESC 2017 reaction 🙏 Greetings from Poland ✌️
Thank you so much for this video, it was amazing!!! I wish it lasted longer though... It feels a little short sometimes... :-) Lots of love to everyone!
I have been waiting for this. 😍 gonna go get some chocolate and pig out on the sofa whilst watching.
Girl from Serbia is going this year again on Eurovision, but with her group Hurricane
I actually think Ukraine has one of the best Eurovision winners with this.
I don't even think this was the best Ukrainian winner
@@Laveo4o wrong but funny
Lauren: "Ah, UK.... they usually let us down though so... let's see." 😭
Amazing Alex! They share our opinions...you should have showed the new guy Petra and Mans song from the semi final since it describes Eurovision and is amazing!
My 3rd favourite Eurovision song ever is from 2016 (Poland)
That song is in my top too!!
Those 7 points are a mystery to me!!
@@alexandrumic yeah, I will never forgive them for that. The only thing that I can think of is that they don’t like nostalgic/throwback songs. They did the same with Estonia 2017 Verona and Norway 2019 SITS. But the song was so deep and lyrically memorable and he had a great voice but they placed Moldova 2019 Stay in 10th place in the semi and that was for her voice and that was a throwback song so I have no idea. These are meant to be experts that should go on vocals. If Sweden had sang COYL they would have been top 5. Great video btw when Mike kept saying ‘horseshit’ 🤣🤣🤣 funniest thing I’ve heard in over a year. And I had my fingers crossed you would show love love peace peace and the televote and I’m so happy you did.
Really hoping you’re planning on doing a 2017. Mike and Lauren are just Legends. X
I´ve missed Lauren and Mike
