Yup. Shame it's often not the best song that goes through, though; Jone should have won this year. His song is super catchy, has a nice Norwegian folk element - and it's in Norwegian. We still need more entries proudly singing in their own language.
@@Kottkumgen Norway's come last 11 times, but also has 11 top-five finishes. It averages out okay now. And Eurovision is taken more and more seriously again after a lull around the Millennium, with some rather big national stars wanting to take part. It's a shame the best songs don't always win the national selections, but I guess that happens in all countries with selections and it's just how it has to be when they are selected fairly.
@@SimonAT. i mean at the eurovision because as far as im aware we chose blanka (im in pain) And although everyone kept demanding on her leaving the selection she stayed in the ESC 2023 OR IS THERE SOMETHING I DONT KNOW
Can someone explain to me why the polish entry is so hated? X'D I heard someone say the voring was corrupt and whatnot, I'm just genuinely curious because I quite like the song :')
Yes, Jann is kinda the straight and dark version of Agoney, both have an incredible stsge presence and costumes. Maybe they'll come back. Plus there's also the 2nd Chance contest.
Btw losing to an RTVE employee is corruption as well, and someone winning due to anti gay votes is also highly questionable. Even though it worked out well in Poland's case, because she could ultimately improve vocally (and even if she couldn't, it would have been half as bad, because then we wouldn't have to hear her in the final), I'm asking myself, what's up with women named Blanka/Blanca and winning national finals. Those are the 2 national selection decisions that are being bemoaned the most by people.
Lola wasn't stuck in traffic (Doina was), she couldn't audition because she lost her voice. Uff, Venom & Bla Bla Bla - my 3 heartbreaks of the season. Nice to see them all appreciated here.
Welcome back guys !! :D What a way to start into this season ^^ as always, there is a lot you can expect on this channel the coming weeks ;) (PS: if you didn't notice yourself, winners are not included in this video since there is a different video for that as you know :) ) PPS: i noticed that i made some cutting mistakes but i don't think they're bad enough to take the video offline and cut it again xD so that's what you're gonna have to live with lmao
Soren reminds me of Denmark's very first competition entry back in 1957. Similar beat and voice just brings back that image. Would have loved to see him at Eurovision.
Yeah, what's up with women named Blanka/Blanca winning national finals? Definitely the 2 most controversial picks here. I mean, Solo was at least a much better song than Ea Ea, plus she was able to improve in Liverpool, so picking her didn't turn out to be the wrong decision after all. But based on her performance in the nf, everyone was asking how this won. Not after seeing her semi-final performance, though. But everyone was asking why Spain ended up sending this crap and were asking who thought it was a good idea to send this song. It totally flopped and probably only won its nf because of anti lgtbqia votes from both the juries and the public. But people might have also voted for Ea Ea, because they were afraid of Quiero Arder winning Eurovision. And literally no one liked this song, everyone said their ears were bleeding when hearing this. Seeing Agoney would have been an iconic moment and he would have reached Top 5, or at least Top 10. Instead, Eurovision viewers had to endure Ea Ea
I have some adds: Nochentera party Aritz Aren not singing but playback😂 Almost every Norwegian bop not even making the final (Ella, Akuvi, Maria for example) Ela bringing brazil to Norway Ukraine: NF in metro station. Gala performing in Albania’s NF. Gala talking in Albanian, English and French😂 The error with Gala and the NF sounds in Albania. Albania’s NF never ending. Belgium held a NF after years. Czechia’s NF completely in English. Czechia’s result a lot of days later. Unicorn Vibes on stage😂 Ollie Sceaming untill he dies. Inger being Mia & Dion inspiration Kaarija winning by so many points more than everyone else. Connolly being robbed:((( Adgy failing to sing somehow…😭 Italy waiting untill 2AM for the result. Sway not making the finals. Ruta Mur trying to be British Brooke her staging Brooke robbed Lola having one of the best songs but not appearing for auditions Moldova’s auditions in general😂 Sasha being back with strange songs. Moldova’s glitchy and laggy livestream😂 Valeria Condrea Giving sounds never heard before. Aledaida serving and being robbed. Romania’s livesteam Glitch And low fps😂 Ronela being back for San Marino this time. Slavaje actually being a banger. Salvaje actually robbed, deserved to win. La deva being robbed. San Marino’s auditions in general. Sweden having a tragic NF. Loreen having a bigger staging here💀💀💀💀 Patty Gurdy robbed Germany having the most random stagings. Celebs Being funny and setting the mood. Celebs winning wildcars because they lost due to 2 votes. Jann screaming audience at the end. Ahlena being the most funny person ever on stage. Ahlena not even trying in the stage. The whole booty song. Jann being happy for Blanka.
Elodie is always robbed (probably because she doesn't have a compact fanbase to vote her, unlike other singers that have a bunch of teenagers or old people as fans) but Madame arrived 7th in 2021 although she wasn't that famous at all, except for some young people. This year there was a controversy that maybe penalised her, but I think that if she wants to she could win one year. I mean, Mahmood's win in 2019 was totally unexpected for literally everyone: the first rap/r&b song to ever win Sanremo, and he was totally unknown.
Definitely. This could have reached the Top 10, and I also think that Blanca only won because of anti Agoney votes. And an anti Agoney jury. Maybe he will come back with something better, just like Conchita did.
Sanremo, MGP, Benidorm Fest and UMK were like the Fantastic Four of NF season this year... so many amazing songs (also, thank you for including the intercontinental tri-lingual diva on the rise, miss Ella A, I feel so proud of her, as a fellow Brazilian)
lola got disqualified bcuz of a supposed cold and she lost her voice, idk where the getting stuck in a snowstorm thing came from 😭 but honestly it seems like she’s lying and she only joined to nf to troll
i cant get over the fact that Blanka and TVP changed the rules 2 day before voting, knowing Jann had the biggest chance in front of Blanka💔💔JUSTICE FOR JANN🖤⛓
Anica Russo 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that song is so good, when i watched it live for the first time i was so amazed and just surprised by that transition, she should've won 💔
Thanks for putting the name of the song and the country. I watched another type of video about the national finals and I was so lost 😂 I only watched the finals of my country
5:57 She would have won if not for the rule that if contestants get the same amount of points then the contestant who got voted higher by jury, goes to eurovision. People liked Rūta more than Monika. Rūta (so low) - jury: 10 points, tv votes: 12 points (12822) Monika (Stay) - jury: 12 points, tv votes: 10 points (12675)
Personnaly I was so sad to lost Jann( and i will still say it he is better than Blanka idk), Elsie Bay( extremely sad😢😢), Jery Heil, Søren from Drnmark cuz he had an amazing and sweet voice, Meelek from Estonia cuz i kinda liked their retro vibe. Stilk don't know why Karmento has gone in national final than Flamenco( it is way better)
And her 5 points from the public underline it as well. Most of these artists would have gotten more points than her. And only 3 points from Portugal, even Manel Navarro got 5 from them. Worst nf decision of 23. Also, Ea Ea is the lowest rated BF finalist on Eurovision World, where almost every non qualifier was rated higher as well. And the least downloaded BF final song on Spotify, despite being exposed to many more people than the other ones. Wrong decision, Agoney and Megara definitely would have landed on the left side of the scoreboard, if not even in the Top 10
Keira’s performance looked amazing on TV but I was in the dress rehearsal and I have to say it was pretty boring for the live audience. She had a big stage and used like 20% of it. Either way she was one of my favourites with Kuumaa and Käärijä :)
ulrikke was supposed to perform in 2020, there was a whole scandal because of some voting difficulties, so she was mainly voted for by a jury i'd say that a good percentage of us found her very annoying, she has a good voice though
The fact that Norway had already so many bangers in just their national final is concerning. They are getting too powerful...
They came in last too many times in the past so now they're going for everyones wigs
Yup. Shame it's often not the best song that goes through, though; Jone should have won this year. His song is super catchy, has a nice Norwegian folk element - and it's in Norwegian. We still need more entries proudly singing in their own language.

Sweden too……
Jann is the biggest lost for ESC, he was so amazing 💔
Still Poland will lose
I wish that Jann was actually there because even tho im not a big fan of Gladiator my cat sings better than Blanka
he is...
@@SimonAT. i mean at the eurovision because as far as im aware we chose blanka (im in pain)
And although everyone kept demanding on her leaving the selection she stayed in the ESC 2023
OR IS THERE SOMETHING I DONT KNOW
@@pokedemon584 oh yeah, i thought you meant in this video xD yeah sorry to disappoint you once again, blanka is representing poland xD
@@SimonAT. i am trying to forget about it every single day
Can someone explain to me why the polish entry is so hated? X'D I heard someone say the voring was corrupt and whatnot, I'm just genuinely curious because I quite like the song :')
I will never forgive tvp for hurting us like this
fr
all final songs from Norway deserved a place in eurovision
True! I've got so many faves just from the Norway and Germany finals alone!
and Finlands! The best!
in ESC 1248
100% agree
"Okie, happy End"
Uhmm, not until TVP takes back their tone deaf glorified dollar store Ariana wannabe
I’ll never get over Agoney not winning Benidorm and Jann failing because of corruption 😭
😢❤

gladiator not being on esc is an inconsolable loss
More Jann moments pleaseee,
His laugh on the scene, high notes, sexy movemets😂❤
That was soooooo good
He sang so bad
@@Royale2005 he sang with emotions and power
@@agatix7 he actually just screamed
@@Royale2005 nope, this is how live performance should look like, it doesn't have to be perfect, power and emotions are the most important
His vocals were all over the place, and it was
Jann was our winner 🤍
NGL Jann's whole performance makes me go yass gurl slayyy
ngl... that "OK happy end" didn't fit there right after Jann... :'c
Lola wasn't stuck in traffic (Doina was), she couldn't audition because she lost her voice.
Uff, Venom & Bla Bla Bla - my 3 heartbreaks of the season. Nice to see them all appreciated here.
There is no YASSS GURL SLAY video without Paulina, Ellip and Ahlena 🤭
Also the Anica Russo appreciation >>>
Where Ahlena????? Booty was THE cultural reset for the iceberg
every year i wait for you. one of the best parts of eurovision season is your videos

Now imagine how even much better this ESC would be if Agoney 🇪🇸 and Jann 🇵🇱 had won their NFs :(
Not the bully twink Agoney🤍
@@user-zh9vf9hd2l wdym?
Blanca Paloma is 100 times better than Agoney
@@Sara-fd3dd in your opinion
I’m not dragging Blanca tho, I’m just saying I think Spain made the wrong decision
@@henryriley4958 Of course it's in my opinion, but it's also your opinion that Spain made the wrong decision. For me it didn't. Not at all.
Soren reminds me of Denmark's very first competition entry back in 1957. Similar beat and voice just brings back that image. Would have loved to see him at Eurovision.
I've been waiting for this kind of video for years 😭
Anica is the german Lana Del Rey vibes and Patty is just adorable
6:52 this transition 😍
Benidorm and UMK >>>>>>>>
They really slayed this year (just like last year obviously)
Jann (Polonia) and Agoney (Spain) unforgivable!! 😖
Yeah, what's up with women named Blanka/Blanca winning national finals? Definitely the 2 most controversial picks here.

Søren,Ollie,Patrisha,Smah into Pieces and Jann were so robbed i cant...
This really points out how some of the “artists chosen” really were not the ones that would succeed
and once again I am looking forward for you singing every song from Eurovision 2023...that's always the highlight of the Eurovision season for me 🥰🥰
I have some adds:
Nochentera party
Aritz Aren not singing but playback😂
Almost every Norwegian bop not even making the final (Ella, Akuvi, Maria for example)
Ela bringing brazil to Norway
Ukraine: NF in metro station.
Gala performing in Albania’s NF.

The error with Gala and the NF sounds in Albania.

Madame & Elodie 😔 What I would do to see them at Eurovision🙏 Sadly that will probably never happen
Elodie is always robbed (probably because she doesn't have a compact fanbase to vote her, unlike other singers that have a bunch of teenagers or old people as fans) but Madame arrived 7th in 2021 although she wasn't that famous at all, except for some young people. This year there was a controversy that maybe penalised her, but I think that if she wants to she could win one year. I mean, Mahmood's win in 2019 was totally unexpected for literally everyone: the first rap/r&b song to ever win Sanremo, and he was totally unknown.
Benidorm and MGP were strong this year🔥
My favorite Eurovision channel, I'm so excited for the new season, lots of love
Agoney blew my socks off with that performance. He should have gone to Eurovision.
Definitely. This could have reached the Top 10, and I also think that Blanca only won because of anti Agoney votes. And an anti Agoney jury. Maybe he will come back with something better, just like Conchita did.
Great Video! Happy to see you back :)
Everyone is talking about Jann, but Ollie and jimmy heil were horribly robbed too.
I love Ollie, but it is not the same thing
okay, now i have a bunch of songs to check out! thanks for the great video ❤
Sanremo, MGP, Benidorm Fest and UMK were like the Fantastic Four of NF season this year... so many amazing songs (also, thank you for including the intercontinental tri-lingual diva on the rise, miss Ella A, I feel so proud of her, as a fellow Brazilian)
still not over gala, she would've been such a MOMENT
Jann, Agoney and Keira slayed so HARD!
6:01 this is so true "checkmate checkmate oooh oooh" has been living in my head for months it just won't get out
Telling me you're gay without actually telling me.
Wtf
I look forward to these videos every year 😍😍😍
u forgot ahlena, and angel dell and the titan one from san marino
lola got disqualified bcuz of a supposed cold and she lost her voice, idk where the getting stuck in a snowstorm thing came from 😭 but honestly it seems like she’s lying and she only joined to nf to troll
This video SLAYS ❤
Me stopping each 5 seconds to add most of the songs to my library (In my defense, couldn't follow the NFs)
actually the moldovian contestant Lola ,i dmed her and she was actually sick and had a virus!
So she couldn't attend because of temperatura
i cant get over the fact that Blanka and TVP changed the rules 2 day before voting, knowing Jann had the biggest chance in front of Blanka💔💔JUSTICE FOR JANN🖤⛓
NOTHING from Portion Boys?!?!?!?!?!!!? Triina didn't put her all into that Naruto Run for you to disrespect them like that
Anica Russo 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that song is so good, when i watched it live for the first time i was so amazed and just surprised by that transition, she should've won 💔
Thanks for putting the name of the song and the country. I watched another type of video about the national finals and I was so lost 😂 I only watched the finals of my country
your taste gurlllll very debatable
"Happy end" after Jann's performance isn't happy cuz he won't be at Liverpool )):
27. She was singing in Portuguese (Brazilian)
I was vouching for Ollie or Bedwetters to win Eesti Laul 💀
Them both getting to the super final killed their chances
Thanks for taking the time to name the songs!! 😊
So many good songs omg. I missed all of that?!?
just a little note: tuju by meelik gets even better when you realise it's 100% about s*x...
also Jann & Ollie ftw
eurovision could have such a powerful performance if jann won 🥲
I love the swedish Drag Queen 😍
Who?
@@SimonAT. tone sekelius
I REALLY wanted Tone to win, not poppy girl Loreen with a basic song😭
Norway, Malta, and Spain had drag queens. You probably meant Skrellex from MGP, if I didn't butcher that name
MEGARA 🖤💖
00:25 well you might look into the definition of belting. :P
Jann is the most robbed artist this year
The ok happy end right after Jann felt super out of place for the first time in so many videos
For those who wanted to see jann - 8:21
Wow Spain 16 banger moments. One of the strongest national selections
Sadly, they went with one of the 2 other songs, lol.
LOVED ITTTTTT
spain with the mics is like belgium 2024
Yes, those also were my thoughts when I saw Belgium's staging for the first time.
Eurovision trash contest coming up?
WAITED FOR THISSSSS
5:57 She would have won if not for the rule that if contestants get the same amount of points then the contestant who got voted higher by jury, goes to eurovision. People liked Rūta more than Monika.
Rūta (so low) - jury: 10 points, tv votes: 12 points (12822)
Monika (Stay) - jury: 12 points, tv votes: 10 points (12675)
No Skerllex?? 🇳🇴 that's the most "YAASS GIRLLL" moment by miles this year!!!
I love how now with BenFest more people are starting to appreciate Spanish music
Personnaly I was so sad to lost Jann( and i will still say it he is better than Blanka idk), Elsie Bay( extremely sad😢😢), Jery Heil, Søren from Drnmark cuz he had an amazing and sweet voice, Meelek from Estonia cuz i kinda liked their retro vibe. Stilk don't know why Karmento has gone in national final than Flamenco( it is way better)
What i learned from this is that i liked almost every spanish nf entry much much better than blanca paloma
And her 5 points from the public underline it as well. Most of these artists would have gotten more points than her. And only 3 points from Portugal, even Manel Navarro got 5 from them.

I felt that even through TV, it was underwhelming which is very unfortunate because she is so talented and the song was good.
She should’ve had some dancers on stage with her imo
@@ESCButterfly She did have a few dancers but it still didn't fill up the stage enough for me.
You missed the moldovan epic sax guy at the nf)
Don't get me wrong, I knew Tattoo was gonna be selected, but Six Feet Under was my winner
Same
when ⌛god 😇close 🔐 door 🚪I 💁🏻♀️ fell 🤸🏻♀️on floor 🕳️
0:25 wtf are those noises in the background
no entry for The Makedon??? 😭😭😭 my people are embarrassing me

I assume this didn't include the winners because they will be in the ESC video?
Ridica ridica
Temperatu tu tu tu tu ra
thank you for reminding me just how upset i am about benidorm fest
Such a wrong choice, last place with the public just underlines that.
Kiana's high kick (Sweden)
The swedish final was soon good bro
YEESSSSSSSSSS
ulrikke was supposed to perform in 2020, there was a whole scandal because of some voting difficulties, so she was mainly voted for by a jury
i'd say that a good percentage of us found her very annoying, she has a good voice though
6:48 and then getting ONE point lol
Agoney 😭😭
Worst decision ever. 5 points from the public just make it even more apparent.
Elodie never being selected is my shame as an Italian. 💔
This song wasn't as unique as Andromeda, but yes
It definitely deserved better than the 9th place just because it wasn't a ballad
i swear all of maltas songs kinda eat…like je me casse 😳
when is the eurovision trash contest? i have so many nominations lol
But PLEASE include Ahlena for poland IM BEGGING
AGONEY >>>>>>>
Triumph was the best choice for Norway...
no filip because they gonna need to put all the video 💀
Noo where's Tananai
Wait ruta mur is a girl????
What the hell does the title even mean? Buncha nonsense
