Him saying that Finland bribed the judges not knowing that judges actually gave full points to Sweden and Finland got the public's most votes BECAUSE HE BROUGHT THE PARTY 😂
@@mrmr4622 Eurovision is not a singing competition, vocals do not matter that much. You'd be surprised how many vocally stellar performances ended in bottom 5 over many years.
The people responding need to understand that second place in one of the biggest song contests in the world, is still a really really good result. Yes, you didnt win the event, but you won in many different ways. Just making it to finals in the first place is a huge achivement.
"Finland had money to pay the judges" *the whole arena screaming Cha Cha Cha when Loreen got her points flashbacks intensify* *Finland landing the second highest televote in history of ESC* *people loving Kaarija and starting petitions to remove the judges*
Guess they just don't understand what we vibe with in Europe - they should have shown them a clip of the hosts struggling with the crowd when they kept chanting xD
@@sandrapaulovitor9176 I just checked and Maneskin received 318 points from the public vote and Kaarija received 376 (but you’re right Salvador received 376 as well)
@@ASuperGa jurie vote based in 4 criterias, vocal capacity, quality of stagging, composition and originality and overaal impression. It was obvious than Loreen was going to win the juries vote with more than 300 points, She nailed all of those criterias. And tht guy was right, Kaarija was one of the worst in vocal capacity, he didnt deserved the 4th palce in juries, maybe 7-10 just becuase the song, but he has one of the worst vocals with Uk and Poland.
"Finland had the money to give to the judges" is so ironic since Finland lost 1st place BECAUSE of the juries. I swear bro it was a mistake telling Americans about ESC.
I love the difference between Europe's taste and America's one. How do you not appreciate cha cha cha is beyond me. Also "Finland bribed the judges" is so funny since they basically lost 1st place because of juries lmao
The "tele vs jury" narrative is SOOO RIDICULOUS AND TIRING. Like that's not how the system works. It doesn't matter who won which criteria. WHAT MATTER IS WHO GOT THE MOST POINTS WHEN COMBINING BOTH JURYVOTE & TELEVOTE! END OF.
@@supertiredmerr Right but the jury was chaotic. It even included athletes and such, which makes no sense. Also, Juries should not be voting based on commercial chart music and which song they'd have their artists make and release, if they were the management but that's exactly what they did and the others just voted for what they'd hear in the charts. Eurovision is about being open minded and should not be, slowly, made to be just mainstream music.
@@Craigy2818 there's just a lot of assumptions in your statement. How do you know the exact way jury is voting? No idea about athletes as jury though. Also choosing a mainstream pop song as the winner shouldnt be an issue if ticked all the boxes (vocals, song production, performance, etc). A serious problem would be if the jury vote for low quality song just because it's not a mainstream pop song.
I had to laugh out loud about this comment since after the show all European social media could talk about was "How rigged were the juries to score Sweden high enough to give them the win" xD
what drama? Loreen was the best by far and everybody knew that she was going to win the juries with huge difference thats why the eurofan community vote massively to FInland, because it was the only way to avoid Loreen´s victory.
@@QueenOfDivas2000 People were upset about Finland losing to Sweden, it's not that they tried to vote massively to Finland, it's that the jury absolutely romanced Loreen
no! televote gave 243 points to Loreen, she wouldnt have won if she would have recieved 186 points. Juries didnt make Loreen won, juries AND TELEVOTE did it.
"Finland has money to give the judges" funny when the live audience were constantly chanting "cha cha cha" and "kaarija" and then he won the public televote 🤣🤣
Indeed, and the 2nd highest amount of televots in Eurovision history😂 ...they should have said that to him, as well as shown clips of ppl chanting Cha Cha Cha and "Käärijä" when votes were counted, would have been funny to see his reaction 🤣 The matter of fact is that most Americans could never understand European mentality to rally behind certain songs...
Its because Americans don't seem to like such things. Kaarija is like a softer more hiphop version of fe Electric Callboy, they would mentally give up listening to Tekkno Train or Hypa Hypa
Its interesting how they rate "Finland had money to give the judges" while he didnt get any votes from the judges since they were baised around Loreen...LOL...Americans man
@@noxfior They secure the win with it. She could had won the same anyway... she was favourite since start and the song is not bad. But this massive points from jury were frankly strange
"Finland had money to give the judges" babe the jury is the only reason Finland didn't actually win. Televote/the people chose Finland as the winner, the jury made sure Sweden won.
Nah, Loreen was better, and got the 2nd highest televote with people assuming she's going to win, therefore being less enthused to vote for her, while I'm sure, seeing how they behave, that cha cha guy fans voted 20 times from each device they had 🤣
16:19 jesus,, there is a thin line between being sassy and being disrespectful. And you know what's more funny is?Finland topped the public vote not the jury votes 😬💞
indeed. And prsonally I'm still a bit bummed by Loreen winning, since I think it is _way_ too similar to the one she won with in 2012. Finland was waaaay more original. However for 2024 I'm all in for Norway. Because that contribution is _truly_ original. IMO the best since Conchita Wurst.
@@beelzeduck I 100% agree! It was great seeing the whole crowd singing along with Käärijä even though they didn't necessarily speak his language, I believe that's part of the essence of Eurovision
"Finland had money to give the judges", I'm laughing so hard at how literally opposite it was, Sweden "had money to give the judges" and Finland was the people's favorite.
@Zazazozo a whole lot of yadda yadda yadda but the truth of the matter was there were performances that, skills wise and sound wise, should've gotten the jury votes over Tattoo, if that's all a performance is about. Instead they got snubbed so Sweden could have a huge ass gap meant to make it harder for the public vote to surpass it, which is what happened. There's the matter of the anniversary too.
@@noxfior the man cannot sing and the song is childish and lacking in meaning. I am so surprised Finland did not come last. Those pink dancers saved him.
The jury gave Finland an appropiate amount. The jury did not give Sweden an appropiate amount. Sweden received many points that should have been some other country's.
16:22 - nah, Finland has the highest televoting result in Eurovision history. Europe and USA are different worlds. We like to have FUN, not HYPE. You don't know what you're talking about.
@@Africkinggod "Amongst Stefania's Eurovision winning score of 631 is the 439 points received from the televote; the most televoting points received in the Contest's history to date."
@@Africkinggod More people vote nowadays. So obviously we can’t compare televotes from 10 years ago to now. The percentage of televotes is what counts.. statistically.
Honestly they pick the most self centered people, and don't even show the whole song. No idea how they can review a song with only a small part actually seen and listened to
@ she didn't said that ABBA will perform. She said that Sweeden won because next year marks 50 years since ABBA won and it's their anniversary. If there wouldn't be any jury votes then Kaarija would won. To me Kaarija is winner.
What truth???? No one paid the judges and I dont want to hear toxic Karija fans saying that Sweden paid the judges because you guys dont have any proff just because every jury liked the song that doesnt mean that they paid the judges. No proff no case
@@goodside1807 They are Americans, so they most likely don't know how Eurovision works. They likely think Finland somehow got loads of jury votes, when in reality it was quite the opposite.
@@goodside1807 I never claimed anyone rigged the the competition, you simply misinterpretated my comment. I only meant they falsely think Finland got good points from the juries, when they simply were clear fan favourites.
As a fin thinking that Finland has money to bribe anyone is laughable :'DD Like if we had won we probably wouldn't have been able to host the next show XD
I should not be mad at them for not understanding why a song like Finland's is in second place, 'cause European music culture is much different from America.
American that loves Eurovision here. I am upset they didn’t play Alessandra’s high note the same way they showed Noa Kirel dancing. Also hate how they don’t get what Eurovision is. It’s not American Idol or The Voice. The weird/whacky/zany aspects of Finland’s performance is the essence of Eurovision.
Or maybe you Kärrijaa stans need to be pegged down a notch and realise not everybody falls for his tricks or find the song great. Some people do not like novelty songs.
@@Denis-89 Some people (read between the lines, that's you) are inconsiderate and don't appreciate that it is not a novelty song for those who like it. We like the song very much, I have never liked a song as much in my entire life.
@@real_jess869 bruh why are you so pressed? Ive seen you comment like 5 times being pissed off. Like if you actually dont like Eurovision and like to bootlick the americans then why are you watching this? 💀💀
Weirdest thing is when one admitted they didnt show them the whole performance. Thats craaazy. Only showing like the top highlight for some songs and random parts for others.
Yeah for real. Like they left out the part when Czechia all circled up for the end of the bridge, they left out the voguing towards the end of Belgium's performance, Norway's whistle note...
@@eo0-g9jdon’t insult other countries when your own government has been a joke. It’s embarrassing. America started/ meddled in more unnecessary wars in history than any other country
I mean it was only those 2 people out of the whole group that didn't seem to get a lot of the songs. There's lots of American fans of Eurovision that love the culture and craziness.
The comment about finland paying the judges is hilarous given that they would have won if sweden had not gotten more jury points 😅 ( finland DOMINATED public votes)
@@SvenneMEan1337 that may be so but it still doesn't change the fact that it was rigged. What a coincidence that next year is ABBA's anniversary and esc is in Sweden next year.
I love how NO ONE picked up on Finland’s popularity by hearing how the entire frigging arena sang along to Cha Cha Cha. Oh wait, they were too busy listening to their own voices to hear anything I suppose. ALSO: not a centipede but a caterpillar transforming tyvm
on that performance ? what did you dislike in hes performance ? it was amazing and yes i think he should`v won , to me Sweden wasn't even in top 5 @@ArtsyBoi2910
@@no4noiasbest The beat was kinda dull. The chorus didn’t really have any hook for me. The whole thing was kinda basic for me. I wouldn’t even put it too 10 tbh. Sweden was the best for me.
Bro saying Finland had money to give the judges when Finland got 85% of all the possible televote points and people started raising eyebrows at Sweden's jury scores 💀
@@jasonburmeister4746 "of all possible televote points", you can get 12*37 televote points at this contest including RoW voting, he got 85% of the max he could get
@@Theodwarf11 I know how the contest works. He didn't win the rest of the world and got 12 points from only 18 of the other 36 participating countries in the televote. That's 50%. I still don't know where you're getting 85% from.
@@jasonburmeister4746 then you don't know how the contest works lol, there's points from 1-12, not just 12 lol, he got 376/444, meaning 84.7%. he got points from all countries, lowest any televote gave him was 6.
I always watch the ESC react videos but I was never pissed off while watching one. The hate and disrespect towards Käärijä is truly making me mad. Saying Finland bribed the judges made me boil inside. I'm Swedish and even though I liked Loreen's entry and I know she's a phenomenal artist, Käärijä should've won. Americans' really need to listen to more than what's on their radio stations...
Right. I got so mad at this. Why did I even click on this months later just to remind me about the stupid results and then these idiots making it even worse?💀
Not the Finland comment 😭. Like who's gonna tell homie that Finland barely got votes from the jury and it's the audience that boosted Kaarija to the 2nd place?
A funfact for everyone Finland got over 370 points from televote and Sweden got over 240 points. So if it wasn't for the judges baffling 340 points to Sweden, Finland would've won.
@@patricklindkvist4067 Yes you can have an opinion but just because that ABBA was celebrating their win after 50 years i think that is why. And people can just write a song about love and they will win so is it in Melodifestivalen. WE choose the ones that is chained with love, people who watch melodifestivalen think with their hearts instead of their brains. I wanted Scarlet to go to Eurovision this year but they will not beacuse people will either vote for Jaqline, MM, Dotter, Danny Saucedo and Medina. And honestly i don't get the hype for those songs at all. I also wished Loreen would have come 2nd place. And yes even if Loreen got 240 televote points Finland was about 80 points away from the max points. That is kind of mind baffling if you ask me. So clearly Finland was my winner. And i want to send MM to Eurovision this year atleast they got a nice trance beat with it. My current winner for ESC 2024 is Joost Klein.
they used to have televote points only but that didnt work because of ''union '' votes where people voted for the country they liked best not the song so thats why judges had to be implemented
After the Eurovision Song Contest ends I am always excited to watch this video but even though in the beginning it seemed like they got a lot of songs right they just showed how they've got no clue and think way different than Europeans. Anthony saying Finland paid the judges while he got 18 times 12 points from the audience votes gave him 387 points while Sweden enchanted the jury, also they don't know anything about Loreen who already won the show in 2012. All in all fun but maybe it would be better to later on let them know a bit more about the show itself. Keep the amazing work and we can't wait for the next React videos and next year's edition of react to Eurovision
All the infos that you want them to know are irrelevant to the video. My guy it's a reaction video 😂. They already know about the concept of ESC and the system. That's enought. What difference does it make?? 😂
You make it sound like Europeans think the same way. Which is inaccurate (obviously). They don't rly need any context to be able to tell which song they like or not. I'd get it if it was about another aspect of the contest but it's just about the songs and how they sound to them. And let's be honest, many Eurovision fans don't vote for the "best song" and which sounds objectively better (musically) anw. So judging these reactors for their own opinion doesn't make sense.
“Finland had money to give the judges” funnily enough ppl are saying that about Sweden here in Europe sksjks most of us wanted Käärijä to win. He actually got the second highest televoting score in the history of Eurovision!!
yeah but Finland has that highest televote because eurofans vote for FInland a lot to try to stop Loreen from winning the contest. With that televote Cha cha cha must been the most selling song and he didn´t. It´s time to admit that a lot of people vote for Finland because they didn´t want Loreen winning again
@SeverK people like Cha Cha Cha, but that song hasnt got the big fanatism and succes that Tattoo has with her performance in Melodifestivalen. In Eurovision a lot of eurofans vote crazy for Finland because they didnt want Loreen winning again, for them it was unfair.
Finland was actually the fan favorite(my favorites were Czechia, Australia and Belgium though), the audience was chanting Finland a lot in the arena through the results. Sweden was the winner with the juries, and won because it got most jury points but also a fairly high score from the public/viewers.
@@wild_rose Spotify streams have no comparison to the results of the contest as some songs are naturally better to listen to than a performance. Snap from Rosa Linn was the most streamed song from last year with success from tik Tok and it been a nice song to listen too. Though finished in 20th Whats the point. I’ve listened to Swedens song a whole heap is it because I liked her at Eurovision, no it’s becuase it’s a pleasant song to listen to in the background
Lol thats because the majority of the ppl in the Arena were finn. 3 of my Spaniard friends who were there said it was mostly finns and brits than from any other country.
@@wild_rose And Armenia 2022 is the all time 2nd ESC song on Spotify streams despite barely making it into top 20 in the contest. Streaming numbers≠ESC results
@@johanlaferte85 Sure you keep convincing yourself that's the case. In case you don't know Finland has one of the smallest population in Europe, it's very expensive to travel to the UK and even though most of Finland supported Käärijä people don't stop their whole lives for Eurovision. So no, there definitely were not most finns in the audience.
That's some revisionist history. 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. It's always been about song-first contemporary popular music, which is exactly what Tattoo is. About the only exception is the early 00s when there was no jury voting and "creative" entries like Hardrock Hallelujah were winning.
Finland got robbed so hard, 375 televoting points is insane, 18 countries gave them max points. Loreen on the other hand only got so many points cause she is famous and an eurovision icon.
@@korl8524 YEAAPpp... Jury's the ONLY reason that Finland didn't win. And I am SO pissed off. Because the televoters votes didn't count for shit. Sweden would have won anyways because the game was rigged from the start.
Idk but hearing one of them call a viking vibe song "too Disney" given it comes from a Nordic country makes me question what they even expected. Also Finland got money to give the judges but who is telling them the general public voted for Finland? 💀
"Finland had money to give the judges" Every European in the comments : "Oh, it hurts. You don't even realize how you're wrong !!" Why Americans will never understand Eurovision in a nutshell 😀
