I'd thought we'd lose something by not having Graham commentating during the results this year as his reactions and comments are always hilarious but being able to SEE him this year, his visual reactions, links and faces to Hannah really made up for that, Mel was also a great addition.
I completely agree! Graham and his iconic commentary was why I started watching Eurovision in the first place so I was gutted knowing he wouldn’t be in the commentary box as much this year (although I’ve been rooting for the UK to win just so that he could finally get a chance to host!) But the moment they announced that he would be presenting the voting section (and with the queen that is Hannah Waddingham no less) I knew it was going to be amazing. Seeing him actually have to interact with the spokespeople was even funnier than him just slagging them off behind their backs 😭
i still saw graham have a laugh to himself when france's vote announcer was in front of the eiffel tower since that's a running joke he does each year when he commentates where he goes 'is that paris? is that the eiffel tower? nooo' lmaoo
Eurovision hosts *always* have a weird awkward energy about them, regardless of how they interact with each other. It's because Eurovision dictates that only people with a weird awkward energy are qualified to perpetuate its ancient reputation of awkwardness and corruption.
I think it's usually just down to at least 2/3rds of the hosts having to host in a language that is not their mother tongue.. speaking english is one thing but "acting", or being funny in a different language, that's much much more advanced.
@@JT29501 I'd agree with that. I think that's why Scandinavia does it so well, because they "get" British humour as a result of how widely English is spoken in that region.
Exactly! Much more natural. The hosts are usually the worst thing about Eurovision if you ask me - they are always soo artificial and awkard. Probably too terrified at the sheer number of people who are watching them live, to be able to relax. And the languages they aren't used to, like you say. So many times I've cringed at the rehearsed jokes and wished they'd just cut them, because they *never* come off as funny. This year, however, proved that it is possible within this concept to have good hosts who dare to show a little bit of who they are. Clearly the Brits can do this, at least in the case of people as experienced as Graham Norton.
@@monmothma3358 Other countries have some bilingual tv personalities, people who grew up in the USA or UK, comedians, people are quick witted in Engkish and used to crowd work - Eurovision needs to feature them as hosts!

For the non-Dutch speakers: 'goed' in goed gedaan [well done] in a particular Flemish accent sounds like 'hoed' [hat]. And Gustaph had the most wonderful hat. That's the joke, I wonder if even most Dutch viewers got it, but I'm sure it got a nice cringe from the Flemish viewers lmao.
@@violentbob ja je moet denk ik Nederlander die in Vlaanderen woont/heeft gewoond om die vertaalslag te maken hahaha, dit was mij voor ik hier kwam wonen ook niet opgevallen denk ik.
I don’t think it’s in this clip but I loved when the audience had another round of shouting “cha cha cha” I’m sure Graham after having to endure it again said something along the lines of “yes we know you like that one”
I loved Hannah immediately after she shutted these dumbos who booed Italy down with "no booing not in our house". She was the only one who finally said anything against that. Because thats so disrespectful
It was definitely not because he was gay. Are you serious? This is Eurovision. 90% of the audience are gay. It was due to the consistent voting for your neighbour. The audience usually do the same to Greece and Cyprus. Disrespectful? I don't think so. I think it's more disrespectful to cheat by always voting for your neighbour.
@@lukesoddlife Ireland's jury person this year was Niamh who narrowly won Sonia in Eurovision in 1993. I believe Niamh won by one point and the final jury that year decided who would win so it was a nail-biting moment when they said "and finally... Ireland"
This Norwegian finds Hannah and Graham (and the third gal) the best hosts Eurovision's had for many years. Great chemistry. Managing to be themselves and natural even though they're under pressure. (Geez, just show that you're nervous, like Hannah does, nobody's going to judge you!) Actually funny, not awkward, rehearsed funny. Well. We'll get Petra this year, so the contrast won't be all that big. I'll consider voting for the UK only to get this quality hosting back!!
It's funny how when that voter sung loreens song to show who they voted for, the commentator didn't know what song it was... You'd think the "winner" would be memorable
I love how nervous the commentator is(the name slips my mind but I do know her). Graham Norton has been doing since Terry Norton stopped in 2008, and has earned the rank to get away with quips…she sounds like the producers have warned twice.
Normally by the time we get to the results Graham is slightly grumpy and tipsy and has no time for anyone's rubbish, I know he was dying inside having to keep it professional.
7:29 I still don't know if Graham looked at the screen because he was thinking "why this face its so familiar" (Ruth Lorenzo, she participated in X factor UK in 2008) or if he wanted to look at her cleavage up close hahaha .
Me wonders for two things: 1. Did Graham and Mel do a portion on the booth together? 2. And was Mel wearing the butter churn dress the whole time on the booth?
Yes Graham and Mel shared the role, Graham did the first 10 minutes and then Mel took over for about 20 minutes whilst Graham hosted the intro. Graham then covered until midway through the acts before heading back to host the main show. Mel then covered the rest of the show including the voting I’m afraid I don’t know the second answer but I so wish she did 😂
