Love this song because of nostalgia and being British, but I think this version has replaced the original as being my favourite. It’s absolutely joyous
On Eurovision nights Australia is Europe so we don’t need a special mention. All the love to all of Europe and keep singing until we can be together again in 2021!
I started getting teary eyes and barely held my tears when Bjorn from ABBA had his speech, but then when they showed this I couldn't hold it anymore and burst out crying. Damn this was brutal
Apparently her cat is called "cat" (in Ukrainian) because its the only thing she responds to. She originally had another name, but it never stuck, so now it's just "kotek"
После просмотра этого Евровидения в сердце откуда-то появилось столько тепла и доброты, а голову заполнила одна мысль: как же прекрасен мир без ненависти! Когда все люди могут вот так собраться вместе, просто пообсуждать песенки, поговорить, спеть. Спасибо Евровидению за то, что хоть на пару часов объединили всех нас. Любите друг друга, люди! From Russia with love to all countries and peoples of world!
And finally it's Stefania who'll use a greenscreen on stage! I'm also very sorry that Iceland won't perform live and I hope that Duncan will get well soon!

I think in every Eurovision all participants should sing a song like this, it’s so emotional to see all of them singing together, forgetting the competition and just feeling the music. I hope to see more like this next year in the stage
To all the artists: Don’t be disappointed that the ESC didn’t take place this year. You were all part of something really special that will be remembered forever in the history of the ESC❤ So be proud! Greetings from Croatia😊
Above all it is the Holy Spirit behind, within and from the song that gives hope. This song was originally created for the anniversary of The Samaritans (the original - British - suicide helpline, devised and developed by the Reverend Chad Varah, who felt moved to act when the first funeral he ever officiated at was of a 14-year-old girl frightened into suicide by her first period)
I just wanna say, as a Belgian boy, that I find it very disappointing that Hooverphonic didn't participate in this wonderful song... It's amazing to see all these countries unite in one big powerhouse and I feel ashamed Belgium isn't part of this. But do remember that this was the choice of the singer-songwriter, not the Belgian folks, and believe me when I say that most Belgium people do shine a light for all of you people out there
Exactly. Alex Callier said "this was a shitty song". He forgot that he was representing Belgium with Hooverphonic and that this was a whole lot more important than his own music preferences. It wouldn't have cost a thing to let Luka sing this song and participate to this, but his ego was too big. If he's ashamed of Eurovision, he should not participate next year.
I experienced more kindness from strangers in Belgium than I have anywhere else in the world. It's a shame your artist didn't take part in this but it's a reflection of that individual, not the nation. See you in 2021!
I'm also from Belgium and we were all disappointed when we noticed this last night. Beautiful show, beautiful message and wonderful people everywhere! Totally agree with Cedric!
Drom Assault but nearly all the winning songs are normally sung in English anyway regardless of which country they’re representing. I can only think of a couple from the last 20 years, Serbia 2007 and Portugal 2017, that weren’t in English.
I was literally in tears a few times during the show. It was so beautiful and heart warming because just of seeing that everyone was getting struck by the virus and that we are in this together. The whole moment where they still kept the positivity and happiness was so emotional to me. So many mixed feels of saddens because of all losses this year and happines because there is hope and that spark of light that feels warm. Hope you all are safe and calm! Love you! 🙏💕

Coming back to this peaceful song, with all countries united, spreading a message of hope in a very hard context, after the disgrace that was the edition of 2024.
I almost feel guilty that I look back on 2020, a time of such heartbreak for many, with something approaching affection. I wouldn't want to return to those times, but the fact that we were able to stay together, when forced to be apart, really did bring out the best of humanity.
@@stevetayler9518The pandemic (escaped from a lab) is a tragedy and scandal so great that we have blinded ourselves to the truth of it. But millions of us ordinary people did the best we could. The above is the best of the best. The song is a divine one ... designed for another purpose but it has strength; beauty; love and truth ... like everything the Holy Spirit touches...
This is so inspiring! People all over Europe (and Australia of course) united in one song, sharing these amazing emotions. That's what I love so much about Eurovision ❤️
What the F.... k do Australia Israel Azerbaijan do here ???? Why not Argentina and Canada many italian migrants there ___ Eurovision is it not ??? Why things have got to be bigger don't make sense whatsoever
I think this is lovely. I think Hooverphonic should feel rather ashamed of themselves for not taking part just because they didn't really like the song. This is hardly the kind of thing The Roop, Uno and Go_A would normally sing, but they took part because they understood that it was just a nice video to bring hope and pleasure to people. I think it's really sad that Hooverphonic decided not to participate.
Yes it was extremely petty of them. I don't even really like this song (Dinle should've won imo) but it was still so sweet to see everyone singing together
@@Hetapeep41 You shouldn't feel ashamed, and nobody watching the show would have a negative view of the whole country of Belgium, but that one Belgian group made a bad decision. I'll be honest, I live in the United Kingdom, so I would be expected to love the song 'Love Shine A Light'. I don't love it, but it's not the worst song we have sent to appear the final (which is why we lose every year!) but it was a lovely message to the world and the lyrics fit well in our current virus situation. I really think they made a bad decision and a lot of people have been disappointed in the group as a result. It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to their performance in 2021 since they are confirmed to be taking part in the contest next year.
I'm sorry that my country didn't wanted to share this moment (belgium) But i'm so proud of all the others who made my heart jumped in these dark times They shined their lights and the artists will be in our hearts
I think the refusal of Hooverphonics to participate in this wonderful unifying song disqualifies them to be Belgium’s participant next year. Shameful to bring this attitude when you represent your country. Belgium, the home of the European Union, should select a better participation next year.
MVE the man who started the group, Alex Callier, has a very bad attitude and a big ego, so i personally saw this behaviour from him coming. it’s a shame for the girl Luka in their group cause she’s a really nice girl with so much potential, and he’s kinda ruining her chances
This song is so uplifting and simply has to be released. Donate the proceeds to worthy causes and it can become one of the biggest charity records ever.
I hope Eurovision 2021 will open up in grand style with "Love Shine a Light" featuring Katrina Leskanich, other singers, flag bearers and a full symphony orchestra. It will sort of pick things up where we left it with "Europe Shine a Light 2020" and will be a memorable moment bringing Europe & Eurovision back together and symbolizing its return from these unsettling times.
YES, THEY NEED TO DO THAT. I think that would be really important to let everyone know even though this is a contest this would be great to bring people together and make up this amazing content of amazing people PROUD TO BE EUROPEAN AND PROUD TO BE LATVIAN
this is maybe the best thing that came from ESC ever. how everyone (but Hooverphonic) reunite to sing this beautul song with such great massege. everyone were amazing. Honestly, I think it was one of the greatest eurovision cast ever. Glad that some of them return in 2021. sad some won't. Love, health and 120 points for everyone. from Israel.
I thought the representatives for each country did a fantastic job tonight. I can't imagine how disappointed they all must have been. Really supportive messages and this beautiful collaboration to bring Europe together. I hope a lot get to come back to Eurovision in 2021.
Belgium is NOT in The song Alex from hooferphonic don't like This song. He say on The Belgium tv that's he fond it a crap song. And i understand why he don't sing it.
@@veronickhaesen1622 It is still a tasteless move. He isn't the vocalist so he wouldn't be singing, yet it screws over Luka (assuming she had wanted to take part). Add to it that this is not a song about the individual artists, but about European solidarity during a time of adversity, so now he just looks like a self-centered butthole to anyone who learns of this.
The EBU also managed to do something that Imagine video couldn’t do: everyone is on-key and on-tempo. It’s also unfortunate that Hooverphonic didn’t do it because apparently it didn’t sound like their repertoire. I can guarantee you bands like the Roop, Go_A, and Little Big don’t usually do songs like these, but they’re there
@@Brad7Dad It depends entirely on the performer and their attitude towards their acts and music. If this had happened in 2019, would you picture Hatari taking part in something like this?
That version of the song is the best because every country sang it together and, as anyone knows, everything is better when we are all united!!!❤️❤️❤️ Love from Greece!🥰
How uplifting and heartwarming it is to see and hear this beautiful blend of voices from all over Europe, all the different nationalities, races, religions, sexualities and gender identities joining together in song and reminding us of our common humanity
One of the most beautiful things I've seen on Eurovision! Singing together instead of competing especially now is one of the most powerful signs of hope.
This song marked the last time the UK won Eurovision (1997), and it's been the best song they ever entered, IMO. One of the best winners of all time, in fact.
It's probably no coincidence that the song was NOT written for Eurovision using some formula, focus group or jury, but for the 30th anniversary of a branch of The Samaritans (charity that helps depressed, suicidal and people in mental crisis), hence the positive, upbeat lyrics and tune and the naturalness of the emotion it evokes. It was only entered for Eurovision at the last minute when it was realised what a great song it is.
Меня тоже очень тронуло. Каждый такой индивидуальный ... но вместе звучит круто. Мне показалось, что каждый свою душу отдал и особенно открылся. Мира всему миру, терпения и будьте здоровы.
I thought this was the best winner ever! Such a feeling end message. So fantastic then with this version under the circumstances during the pandemi. Wonderful!
Love shine a light In every corner of my heart Let the love light carry Let the love light carry Lite up the magic in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts Love shine a light In every corner of my dreams Let the love light carry Let the love light carry Like the mighty river Flowing from the stream Let our love shine a light in every corner of my dreams And we're all gonna shine a light together All shine a light to light a way Brother's and sister's in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts Love shine a light In every corner of my heart Let the love light carry Let the love light carry Lite up the magic in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts Love shine a light in every corner of the world Let the love light carry Let the love light carry Light up the magic for every boy and girl Let our love shine a light in every corner of the world And we're all gonna shine a light together All shine a light to light a way Brother's and sister's in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts Love shine a light In every corner of my heart Let the love light carry Let the love light carry Lite up the magic in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts And we're all gonna shine a light together All shine a light to light a way Brother's and sister's in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts And we're all gonna shine a light together All shine a light to light a way Brother's and sister's in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts And we're all gonna shine a light together Brother's and sister's in every little part Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts
We are Europe! We can survive everything, we just have to believe in ourselves. Thank you for being the best continent in the world, We're all on big family 💙🇪🇺🇪🇺
This song is the winner of Eurovision 2020 and the winners in it are all participants! The case when Eurovision really unites. There is no spirit of competition, but on the contrary, everyone has become even closer to each other.
This will be a Eurovision show that we will never forget, this pademic proved that in difficult times when we are united and work together we are stronger more than ever❤️❤️ everyone stay safe and healthy, pray for all those that passed away because each one is lost could be one of our family🙏🙏
The perfect song to end this show - I cried loads. Eurovision is a magical thing that is very hard to explain - and tonight it really hits home how we are literally all in this together. Bring on 2021
This is my christmas song no.1 for 2020. My wish is that this song will be played all around the globe and that our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
During these difficult times we are all facing now, this performance is what everybody needed! Looking forward to 2021 already! Everybody earned their right to represent their country fairly and they really deserved to be honored correctly, especially tonight! No matter that many of the songs were not good this year, every single artist is a WINNER!
This will be remembered in the hearts of all of the Eurofans Thanks for this, It was a beautiful present to all of us. We're not alone. We are all in this together 🙏🏻 Much love from Buenos Aires 🙌🏻 🇦🇷 ❤️ ☺️
C'était magnifique. J'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux de les voir tous réunis dans une même chanson. C'était leur moment. Un grand nombre d'entres eux reviendront l'année prochaine, c'est confirmé, mais d'autres ne reviendront pas également alors c'était très émouvant de les voir. Bravo et merci
This currently was the best part of the show! It was definitely worth the wait! It was so emotional and beautiful! Was singing along through the entire thing! Great job Netherlands! You did an amazing job! I can guarantee that next year, you're going to make an amazing show! Even better then what you planned for this year!
Not all of the notes are right to the point, not all of them look like supermodels, but all of them are unique people, representing their countries, singing a great song that makes me shiver ... that´s European fellowship 😘
I agree but on the other hand I’m so happy Måneskin got to participate as I turned out to be a fan of their music and had never heard of them before :)
@@orangebear280 little big chose themselves to not participate again for multiple reasons, they were asked to do 2021, but declined that offer, sadly :/
Gjon's Tears from Switzerland is definitely amazing! Hope we won't do the same mistakes and start living in peace with our planet and its habitants, human and non-human!

Drom Assault but nearly all the winning songs are normally sung in English anyway regardless of which country they’re representing. I can only think of a couple from the last 20 years, Serbia 2007 and Portugal 2017, that weren’t in English.
I'm sad, that our British sister's and brothers leave our family European Union.

I was literally in tears a few times during the show. It was so beautiful and heart warming because just of seeing that everyone was getting struck by the virus and that we are in this together. The whole moment where they still kept the positivity and happiness was so emotional to me. So many mixed feels of saddens because of all losses this year and happines because there is hope and that spark of light that feels warm. Hope you all are safe and calm! Love you! 🙏💕
Still watching this in 2022 and can’t stop crying. Beautiful.
Same🥺
Me too in 2023
Honestly, I could watch a full version of this song by each one of the artists. It's beautiful.

Coming back to this peaceful song, with all countries united, spreading a message of hope in a very hard context, after the disgrace that was the edition of 2024.
This one was hosted by Netherlands. The irony.
I almost feel guilty that I look back on 2020, a time of such heartbreak for many, with something approaching affection. I wouldn't want to return to those times, but the fact that we were able to stay together, when forced to be apart, really did bring out the best of humanity.
@@stevetayler9518The pandemic (escaped from a lab) is a tragedy and scandal so great that we have blinded ourselves to the truth of it. But millions of us ordinary people did the best we could. The above is the best of the best. The song is a divine one ... designed for another purpose but it has strength; beauty; love and truth ... like everything the Holy Spirit touches...
Hear Hear!
This is so inspiring! People all over Europe (and Australia of course) united in one song, sharing these amazing emotions.
That's what I love so much about Eurovision ❤️
don't forget Israel Iryna Yarova ❤️
Australia is not europe. Is not eurovision. Australia is just a guess
@@robervasco8211 She didn't said Australia is part of Europe.... Only Americans will say that
What the F.... k do Australia Israel Azerbaijan do here
???? Why not Argentina and Canada many italian migrants there ___ Eurovision is it not ??? Why things have got to be bigger don't make sense whatsoever
@@vanderkelenwerner2367 Israel is not Europe should not be there __nobody wants you
I think this is lovely. I think Hooverphonic should feel rather ashamed of themselves for not taking part just because they didn't really like the song. This is hardly the kind of thing The Roop, Uno and Go_A would normally sing, but they took part because they understood that it was just a nice video to bring hope and pleasure to people. I think it's really sad that Hooverphonic decided not to participate.
trust me I am Belgian, and i have never been more ashamed to be one. I dont like this song, but it has a beautiful meaning now
Althea and Tornike sang it when it’s not their music style. But they did!
Yes it was extremely petty of them. I don't even really like this song (Dinle should've won imo) but it was still so sweet to see everyone singing together
Pretty pathetic way of showing how alternative they want to be.
@@Hetapeep41 You shouldn't feel ashamed, and nobody watching the show would have a negative view of the whole country of Belgium, but that one Belgian group made a bad decision. I'll be honest, I live in the United Kingdom, so I would be expected to love the song 'Love Shine A Light'. I don't love it, but it's not the worst song we have sent to appear the final (which is why we lose every year!) but it was a lovely message to the world and the lyrics fit well in our current virus situation. I really think they made a bad decision and a lot of people have been disappointed in the group as a result. It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to their performance in 2021 since they are confirmed to be taking part in the contest next year.
I cry every time I watch... so much replay on this video... a giant goosebumps moment of 4min
Me too
X2
I know I'm late but I heard it like 1000 times
same here, I'm still watching it in 2021
And me in 2023
I'm sorry that my country didn't wanted to share this moment (belgium)
But i'm so proud of all the others who made my heart jumped in these dark times
They shined their lights and the artists will be in our hearts
I think the refusal of Hooverphonics to participate in this wonderful unifying song disqualifies them to be Belgium’s participant next year. Shameful to bring this attitude when you represent your country. Belgium, the home of the European Union, should select a better participation next year.
Alex has always been an egotripper but this tops it all! I hope we pick a new performer for next year !
MVE the man who started the group, Alex Callier, has a very bad attitude and a big ego, so i personally saw this behaviour from him coming. it’s a shame for the girl Luka in their group cause she’s a really nice girl with so much potential, and he’s kinda ruining her chances
Why did they do so?
It's his right to choose
Let’s all be honest.
Iceland’s singer is probably a meme lord and goes on reddit 9hours a day-
He was the best here
HAHA THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT
When I see him on his computer playing video games, that was my first thought 😁
The troll country 2020
To my children I'll tell all the meme legends I saw in their early days. The list will be a long one, I'm proud of myself
The eurovision should bring people together, Eurovision 2020 does not exist, but it brought europe together
Yes. That is so true.
For few hours it brainwashed millions of gullible romantic __ nothing more nothing less
Better together
No matter how many times I listen to this, still gives me goosebumps 🥺
This must be the best winning song of Eurovision. Timeless lyrics and melody. Well done UK
We need this on Spotify ecc.!
yasss🥺
The playlist is
This was by far the most emotive Eurovision. Interactive, inclusive and simply Amazing the way it was put together. 👌
First non Eurovision!!😀
🆕🌠🆓🏳️🆒☄️🙋🇵🇹
Corona Lockdown edition. Bit proud of the Netherlands organisezed this lovefull and powerfull programm.
This song is so uplifting and simply has to be released. Donate the proceeds to worthy causes and it can become one of the biggest charity records ever.
Has to be released as a charity single for all frontline workers. Who's going to start a facebook campaign to get this storming up the charts
I hope Eurovision 2021 will open up in grand style with "Love Shine a Light" featuring Katrina Leskanich, other singers, flag bearers and a full symphony orchestra. It will sort of pick things up where we left it with "Europe Shine a Light 2020" and will be a memorable moment bringing Europe & Eurovision back together and symbolizing its return from these unsettling times.
If the UK never wins again, it will always have this gorgeous song, the ultimate Eurovision anthem, under its belt.
🙈❤😭 MUSIC UNITES PEOPLE❤ WE ARE A BIG FAMILY🙈
Oh, bro, I feel same😭❤
Of course!! All EUROPE UNITED!!! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
I agree, without questions, Hi from Russia🇷🇺
I can't be the only one who wants esc each year have a common song like jesc where all singers sing together, right??
yes! you aren't only one 😌
YES, THEY NEED TO DO THAT. I think that would be really important to let everyone know even though this is a contest this would be great to bring people together and make up this amazing content of amazing people PROUD TO BE EUROPEAN AND PROUD TO BE LATVIAN
Damn. This is beautiful. We are stronger when we are united.
wan77ted ❤️❤️
This not only makes me proud to be British, it makes me proud to be EUROPEAN.
God bless you Europe🙏
Please release as a single.
@blablaaa blablaaa
I love a one Europe united. This is the soul ans the Europes heart, the unity. We should always be this close
Hi from Spain
Esto deberían hacer todos los años como en el euro Junior estaría bien no creeis
Gracias desde Rusia ❤️
this is maybe the best thing that came from ESC ever. how everyone (but Hooverphonic) reunite to sing this beautul song with such great massege. everyone were amazing. Honestly, I think it was one of the greatest eurovision cast ever. Glad that some of them return in 2021. sad some won't.
Love, health and 120 points for everyone. from Israel.
Amazing song - Poland at 00:15 has the most phenomenal voice! Enjoyed a fantastic evening.
I thought the representatives for each country did a fantastic job tonight. I can't imagine how disappointed they all must have been. Really supportive messages and this beautiful collaboration to bring Europe together. I hope a lot get to come back to Eurovision in 2021.
Marvel: The Avengers End Game is the best crossover in history! Eurovision: Hold my microphone
I have never been more proud to be an European. We’ll be back next year stronger then ever! ❤️ thanks Eurovision for always bringing us together.

Belgium is NOT in The song Alex from hooferphonic don't like This song. He say on The Belgium tv that's he fond it a crap song. And i understand why he don't sing it.
@@veronickhaesen1622 It is still a tasteless move. He isn't the vocalist so he wouldn't be singing, yet it screws over Luka (assuming she had wanted to take part). Add to it that this is not a song about the individual artists, but about European solidarity during a time of adversity, so now he just looks like a self-centered butthole to anyone who learns of this.
The EBU also managed to do something that Imagine video couldn’t do: everyone is on-key and on-tempo.
It’s also unfortunate that Hooverphonic didn’t do it because apparently it didn’t sound like their repertoire. I can guarantee you bands like the Roop, Go_A, and Little Big don’t usually do songs like these, but they’re there
Was that the reason? 😕 Even Little Big participated, and it's as far from their repertoire as you can imagine!
All they had to do was sing a single verse ..Well Eurovision 2021 Nil points for Belgium 🇧🇪 people won’t forget
@@Brad7Dad Uhm... I'm Belgian and I was confused too. Don't blame it on the country, it's not very reasonable :)
@@Brad7Dad It depends entirely on the performer and their attitude towards their acts and music. If this had happened in 2019, would you picture Hatari taking part in something like this?
Sjælefred Herm It wouldn't have suited Hatari but they still probably would've taken part
Just 7 months later and I still have tears in my eyes. Please "Acarde" and "Love Shine a Light" as the opening act for 2021.
How awesome would it be if they all came together and performed this song live as an interval act in 2021
That version of the song is the best because every country sang it together and, as anyone knows, everything is better when we are all united!!!❤️❤️❤️
Love from Greece!🥰
πες τα....😍😍
@@chris_p06 τα λέωω😂😂😂
This needs to be released for download immediately. I never get emotional, but this reduced me to tears for some reason!
a charity single!!🤣😀
How uplifting and heartwarming it is to see and hear this beautiful blend of voices from all over Europe, all the different nationalities, races, religions, sexualities and gender identities joining together in song and reminding us of our common humanity
One of the most beautiful things I've seen on Eurovision! Singing together instead of competing especially now is one of the most powerful signs of hope.
As a united state citizen this is one of the most beautiful things I ever seen.
This song marked the last time the UK won Eurovision (1997), and it's been the best song they ever entered, IMO. One of the best winners of all time, in fact.
It's probably no coincidence that the song was NOT written for Eurovision using some formula, focus group or jury, but for the 30th anniversary of a branch of The Samaritans (charity that helps depressed, suicidal and people in mental crisis), hence the positive, upbeat lyrics and tune and the naturalness of the emotion it evokes. It was only entered for Eurovision at the last minute when it was realised what a great song it is.
Holy Spirit woz 'ere!
0:15 OMG❤️
That’s voice 🥰❤️😍
This must become the official Eurovision Song Contest anthem
spread this idea pls
Totally agree,
@@bobi2539 They are totally right, his song is weak horrible trash.
Я плачу, это слишком чувственно...
Меня тоже очень тронуло. Каждый такой индивидуальный ... но вместе звучит круто. Мне показалось, что каждый свою душу отдал и особенно открылся. Мира всему миру, терпения и будьте здоровы.
Я тоже.... расклеился...
Как же классно.
Не одна я русская я погляжу
Не пойму, почему Тимати за Кипр выступает?
Прекрасно, все такие притягательные)
I thought this was the best winner ever! Such a feeling end message. So fantastic then with this version under the circumstances during the pandemi. Wonderful!
Indeed, the one contest in which everyone performed to a high standard and all were winners...
(Even Russia and Ukraine together)

This song is the winner of Eurovision 2020 and the winners in it are all participants! The case when Eurovision really unites. There is no spirit of competition, but on the contrary, everyone has become even closer to each other.
The best ever production within Pandemy....! A Song that we will remember all times.....!
Alicja Szemplińska ❤
This will be a Eurovision show that we will never forget, this pademic proved that in difficult times when we are united and work together we are stronger more than ever❤️❤️ everyone stay safe and healthy, pray for all those that passed away because each one is lost could be one of our family🙏🙏
Difficult times you call this minor crisis ????? You have not had any life experience I can tell __could be a lot worse __
@@rob5197 Shut up
Bit proud of our Dutch presentation of the corona Eurovision Lockdown edition 2020
The perfect song to end this show - I cried loads. Eurovision is a magical thing that is very hard to explain - and tonight it really hits home how we are literally all in this together. Bring on 2021
This was a truly special musical performance, never have we needed an uplifting message more!
This has 69 likes so I won't like it
This is my christmas song no.1 for 2020. My wish is that this song will be played all around the globe and that our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts.
You will not get how much I love this. A true masterpiece. Legendary Esc masterclass of 2020 I will forever remember them.
Watched this at our Eurovision party in the US and we sang along in a social distancing group hug circle, and yes, there were tears
Its hilarious that America won this for us UK!!🤣
Tears ?? You bloody hysterical over excited for nothing ___childish spoiled people of USA
During these difficult times we are all facing now, this performance is what everybody needed! Looking forward to 2021 already! Everybody earned their right to represent their country fairly and they really deserved to be honored correctly, especially tonight! No matter that many of the songs were not good this year, every single artist is a WINNER!
This will be remembered in the hearts of all of the Eurofans
Thanks for this, It was a beautiful present to all of us.
We're not alone. We are all in this together 🙏🏻
Much love from Buenos Aires 🙌🏻 🇦🇷 ❤️ ☺️
If this was released as a single, I would buy it without hesitation
If the UK entered this song today, it would still win, I am 100% certain.
C'était magnifique. J'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux de les voir tous réunis dans une même chanson. C'était leur moment. Un grand nombre d'entres eux reviendront l'année prochaine, c'est confirmé, mais d'autres ne reviendront pas également alors c'était très émouvant de les voir. Bravo et merci
This currently was the best part of the show! It was definitely worth the wait! It was so emotional and beautiful! Was singing along through the entire thing! Great job Netherlands! You did an amazing job! I can guarantee that next year, you're going to make an amazing show! Even better then what you planned for this year!
The Polish girl's voice is lovely ❤
Thank u from Poland 🇵🇱❤️
Not all of the notes are right to the point, not all of them look like supermodels, but all of them are unique people, representing their countries, singing a great song that makes me shiver ... that´s European fellowship 😘
I'm sorry about the singers who couldn't represent their country again :(
F for especially Belarus...
I agree but on the other hand I’m so happy Måneskin got to participate as I turned out to be a fan of their music and had never heard of them before :)

Brothers and sisters in every little part 🌴

So much emotion! Every year there should be a song sung by every contestants like in Junior Eurovision!
Gjon's Tears from Switzerland is definitely amazing! Hope we won't do the same mistakes and start living in peace with our planet and its habitants, human and non-human!
As a british girl, this song is THE song for me when it comes to Eurovision.
Top 5 moments of tonight
1) Love Shine a Light
2) Molitva
3) Heroes
4) What's Another Year
5) The monuments of all countries shining in the night
I cried during all the show
Benj Kr Diodato and Duncan though 🇮🇹❤️🇳🇱
@@jeffrey6625 yeah sure...
But it is really subjective these moments where more emotional too me... but sure yours were too
Heroes reminds me of the NHS
I voted for Heroes for that reason
