One of the most epic opening flag ceremonies ever! The singer you didn't know is Ilanit, she was the first ever Israeli entrant for Eurovision and she sang the song she came 4th with in 1973 🙂
Lovely as always Jake! Since you didn't know who Ilanit was, I think this calls for a reaction video of the 1973 Israeli entry... (maybe a series of reactions for every country's first entry??)
One of the most beautiful opening ceremonies! The singer you didn't recognize was Ilanit, the first Israeli participant in 1973 (4th place), with Ey sham, which she sang. She participated again in the first ESC I ever watched, 1977, where she got 11th.
Dude I was there seeing it live and I really thought about you. You should have been there too it was amazing. What you see on TV is so much smaller than what is going on on stage not to mention the crazy vibes. I should send you the videos I took as I had an amazing view
I was totally excited once I heard the opening strains of the late Ofra Haza, former Eurovision representative (1983), and her vocals for her worldwide hit "Im Nin' Alu" which is a Jeweish-Yemenite poem as the plane made it's way into the arena!
That is the cutest dog ever!! She is so beautiful!! Bless her!! and it's really good you had a few before making this video - it does help! Good video! really liked it, and big kisses to Gabbi! ;-)
This for me is truly the best opening this decade. Everything about it is amazing! Even though it's hard to admit as a German that it's even better than 2011 in dusseldorf, Israel did an amaaaaazing job!
@@JakesFaceReacts yes, but did you know, that it was a show act in between? I don't think, anybody had seen that show before that esc show act. as far as I know.
Great opening overall! Netta should be a pilot on the side haha. Israel didn't disappoint this year with honoring all four of their Eurovision winners throughout the three shows, as well as artists (Ilanit , Israel's first Eurovision contestant in 1973 and Nadav Guedj who both performed in this opening). The artists going through an airport idea was pretty cool. Their country's flags were the little wand things that were being waved like a toy when they entered and then they were projected up top.
Welcome to the Eurovision fam, Gabby! Wish they had used Nadav/milked the "let me show you Tel Aviv" bit more throughout this season, but happy they used it to open the GF.
That lady is Ilanit, she was a big star in Israel at 70's-80's and the first Israel's first representative of Eurovision , my mom loved her so much that I was named after her ♥
they also had the previous winners. the guy who won in '78 was the one who gave the votes from Israel during the voting. and the lady who won in '79 was part of the switch song with conchita, mans, eleni and verka. and of course dana who also appeared in the semi final right?
Georgia Papadopoulou I do know that Dana was the interval act for SF1. I was disappointed that she did a Bruno Mars cover. She’s a legend in her own right.✌️💚
I'm up for Gabby's Face Reacts, she has some quality facial reactions. "Don't be scared, only people all over the world will see you." [Gabby subtly raises one eyebrow.]
Thanks a lot for the great response, dear Jake. Do you know the Opening Ceremony 2011 in Düsseldorf? Unbelievable and completely unexpected. In my opinion new standards have been set for all subsequent openers.
I don't understand the logic behind some greetings for countries For example Maltese announcement was "Merhaba Malta" (Turkish) but some were correct like "Dobro Došli Serbia" (Serbian)
I know this has nothing to do with this years Eurovision, but could you PLEASE react to Malta Eurovision 2005????!?!????!!!!? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 (you wont regret it!!!)

Looking back: WE HAD A BIG PARTY THIS YEAR!
2019 & 2016 had the best opening/flag ceremonies
*Even the Postcards this year were amazing* !!✔✔
The German girls' intro dance was their best performance that evening.

7:53 she was the very first participant for Israel, they debuted in 1973 and she was the singer
The melody the orchestra starts playing in the background at 3:20 is "Hallelujah" - the Israeli winner of 1979.

Thank you for your reaction!!! It was really a great opening ceremony! And you have a cute dog!😍 Love from Israel 🇮🇱 ❤️❤️❤️
7:12 "it's like a party". it IS indeed a party.
This was great Jake. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these amazing videos. Gabby is so cute😊 good to see you again. Love from Norway
Heidi M she always steals the show.🐶💚✌️
@@JakesFaceReacts the woman in the plane at the beginning as the pilot was the reason they were in israel QUEEN NETTA
I think the best part of it were the musical arrangements like a remix of Jewish music, so cool!! Great opening IMO
ronnopotter I agree...every song they played served a purpose. I loved it.✌️💚
OH your dog is cute 😍💕🐶
I saw that people have already told you who Ilanit is
I would only add that Israel is a part of Eurovision mostly thanks to her :) She got us in it
I was totally excited once I heard the opening strains of the late Ofra Haza, former Eurovision representative (1983), and her vocals for her worldwide hit "Im Nin' Alu" which is a Jeweish-Yemenite poem as the plane made it's way into the arena!
I legit cried like a baby when I heard "Im Nin' Alu". I miss Ofra so much. Taken from us too soon.
That is the cutest dog ever!! She is so beautiful!! Bless her!! and it's really good you had a few before making this video - it does help! Good video! really liked it, and big kisses to Gabbi! ;-)
Adrian S Thank you! She stole my heart from the moment we locked eyes. Rescue dogs are the best.🐶💚✌️

Then you haven't seen Stockholm 2016: ruclips.net/video/no1v1-2HZ6g/видео.html
John Mara the flashy batons and the Airbus definitely put them on a higher pedestal than a fashion show type of flag parade
@@sirjohnmara was good but not good like flag parade esc 2019
I really liked your joyful reaction and let me say that this is the cutest dog there is!! 😄😄
Thanos Karathanasis Thank you. Rescue dogs are really the best.💚✌️
When Diva started playing everyone in the bar I was at went nuts.
It's Ilanit. The first singer from Israel ever compited this
Take a shot everytime Jake says "come on"
I don't know if you're unaware of riverdance, probably the most famous interval act in eurovision history. If not, I'd love u to react to it.😆😆
epic!!!! that was a boom, wasn't it? nobody expected that.
@@nursen2106 exactly
It was amazing!
Stephen Moore How could anyone have NOT heard of Riverdance? It is epic even in the US.✌️💚

React to the 2016 opening/flag ceremony! For me clearly the best ever!🤩
For me that one is tied with this one but tbh this one is starting to grow on me a lot
The Minecraft Alliance Your choice :)) But for me 2016 is unbeatable
my I ask how old you are? or let's say it different, since when do you watch esc?
Funny Girl I’m now 15. And have watched Eurovision for the past 8 years
Great Reaction!!! And Gabie is so cute!
no one:
jake: COME ON COMMENTS!
Dana's part was Playback !!
Welcome to the Eurovision fam, Gabby! Wish they had used Nadav/milked the "let me show you Tel Aviv" bit more throughout this season, but happy they used it to open the GF.
Been waiting that reaction of 2012 Albania's entry Feel the Passion!!
oh yeah, tel aviv eurovision 2019 ban list had flags banned this year! so that's why you didn't see a lot of flags, some definitely sneaked it in.
The lady you don't know, her name is Ilanit she represents us at Eurovision for the first time in 1973. We finished fourth.
Very good! I like your face reaction!
That lady is Ilanit, she was a big star in Israel at 70's-80's and the first Israel's first representative of Eurovision , my mom loved her so much that I was named after her ♥

The old lady is Ilanit, first Israeli representative (it said it on the bottom of the screen when she appeared)
That's what i thought
She's not an old lady. She's in her 60s, same as Madonna, and looks and sings great. A little respect, please.
@@Sanchordia being old does not mean not looking good or not being able to sing. She is old
I'm up for Gabby's Face Reacts, she has some quality facial reactions. "Don't be scared, only people all over the world will see you." [Gabby subtly raises one eyebrow.]
Susanna Viles Right? She takes after her dad with the facial expressions.✌️💚
@@JakesFaceReacts That's a good thing. I don't know who my cat takes after. She destroys books. There's no excuse for that kind of violence.
Great guy reaction and great dog reaction!
Thanks a lot for the great response, dear Jake. Do you know the Opening Ceremony 2011 in Düsseldorf? Unbelievable and completely unexpected. In my opinion new standards have been set for all subsequent openers.
Hatari snapped.

I don't understand the logic behind some greetings for countries
For example Maltese announcement was "Merhaba Malta" (Turkish) but some were correct like "Dobro Došli Serbia" (Serbian)
How stupid are u!!! they say the welcome in their language its maltese it sounds Arabic, Turkish type!!!!
@@dudem01234 That's no reason for offending other people, I also didn't understand that...
@@dudem01234 Jesus, sorry for not knowing every single language in the world I guess
@@ImStevan are u from the U.S.???
