American Reacts to Eurovision 2024 

hii! hope you enjoyed my retrospective on the grand final! :) if you want to join us for next year's contest be sure to join us all over at twitch.tv/diofromcali!✨✨

She didn't forget who the Finnish guy was. Kaarija was going to give the points for Finland, but he didn't. Because of things. And stuff.

What really surprised me was how the other contestants would go and hug Nemo when their country gave them 12 points. When they won other contestants were the first to hug him. There's a clip where Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Nemo have made a hug circle and they're jumping up and down after Nemo's win. I don't remember this happening before.

Congrats, u chose the the most controversial and messiest Eurovision edition to first react to. Oh and France 2023 and 2021 are also very French

To be fair Finlands representetive was supposed to be Karijaa (last years second). He dropped out in the afternoon after Joost from the Netherlands was disqualified.

Trophy breaking is classical part of Eurovision at this point. It happened at least once before (with Alexander Rybak)

8:54 speaking of Josuke lol, actually, check out this woman's song for real; it's iconic. It's Serbia 2022 btw

Hey! Really cool video, always nice seeing Americans focussing on Eurovision :D The issue with the finnish spokesperson was, that due to different reasons (probably the exclusion of NL) the planned spokesperson didn't show up, but this info wasn't passed along to Petra doing the jury votes. I was part of the crowd in the venue and we all just laughed at this moment xD Greetings ✌🏼

Lol the spokesperson from Serbia was Konstrakta, who participated in Eurovision in 2022 and ended 5th (with a very similar look), and she’s basically and icon in the Eurovision fandom

I love that he loved Estonia bc people I feel like usually don't remember Estonia and when he was saying how much he liked it I was smiling the whole time:)

Americans: Nemo's song was the best eurovision song ever. Europeans: _placed Nemo 5th_ 😂😂😂

I love Estonian song, it's awesome! And Norway was soo good this year, it's exactly my cup of tea, I'm so sad they got last place 🥲

Nemo got a new trophy, and they also broke their finger 🥲 it’s okay though, they stated it in a interview

Maybe it was not pointed out to you during the chat: when it comes to Switzerland vs. Croatia all the fans wanting to go one day to a ESC will thinking with their wallets since You can have a week in Croatia for the money a night in Geneva or Zurich is going to cost you.

8:16 malta is an island to the south of italy... lots of children from north africa and the middle east attempt to escape their countries using rafts across the mediterranean and a shit ton of them just die by drowning before they even make it to europe, the teddy bears are meant to be a political statement about it, like "remember all the dead children in the mediterranean we haven't talked about?" cyprus and italy are also known to mention it a lot since them and malta are the countries that usually get the bodies washing up on shore. one of the songs in italy's national final was about this and the guy singing wore a similar outfit

Great review man! I was at the Final, it was awesome and I can tell you the Georgia fire was HOT! 🔥🔥 Interesting fact for you - the last Eurovision winner of the contest for Switzerland was none other than Celine Dion!

"Wait hold up...she kinda bad tho" 😂

Fellow Estonia lover! I was surprised that they and Finland didn’t do so well in the televote.

I liked the 2024 one, so many good songs :) thats what it is all about. nemo had the best vocal!

youre so right, Estonia's song SLAPPED super hard and was done dirty.

Nemo broke The Code and his trophy and his thumb too this nignt. And also our heart, for sure !

Lots of people (including me and my son) agree with you concerning the Estonia song.Check the lyrics, it's about a gang trying to convince the police they're innocent and the drugs found on them arent theirs 😂 It's hilarious and we loved it.

hi! is there a way to re-watch that stream by any chance?

Nemo was AMAZINGGGGGG, Love from Spain!

I‘m amused, thanks😅

If XQC was a less terrible person

Well Nemo got the second trophy... and they lost it 🤣

you didn't talk about the booing and u could have told us that one of the most favorite song got disqualified. ''Joost Klein Europapa'

ohhh i would love to see the full reaction but it isn't on twitch anymore:(

The French entries are so.....French😭, luckily, the staging and the voice saved it. From the balads, Portugal is my fav. The harmony writing was amazing, and the voice was flawless. Happy with the 10th place.

Nice job! Mostly agreed with your takes - altho I don't mind the ballads so much. And high energy seemed to be the secret sauce for the top performers (they broke the code?)

LETS GOOOO

Bro, you need to stay awake during ballads - if they qualify for the final, THEY ARE STUNNING! 😭 Also, Armenia was such a needed break from so much dark and electronic sounds... a breath of fresh air

Haha, how we all so different and it is beautiful! I loved and still obsessed with Lithuania song! And Germany too (though agree that it wasn’t really winning material) And this year I wasn’t sleeping at all through the final though it started 10 pm and ended around 2 am? I barely remember. If not all those scandals - would be my favorite year(

Me only thinking about the fact that this channel name "dio" means God in Italian 😂

That’s quite well summed up 👍

To the ending, Nemo got a new trophy don't worry, but they didn't get a new thumb which they also broke in the process

Also I'm quite sad for San-Marino (it didn't qualify). They had a great song imo

They broke the trophy Me: thats not the first time this happens.

I was so surprised that you and Maqwell's favourite song is the Estonian one. I watched Maqwell's stream called: "EUROVISION 2024 WATCHALONG (i think)". He prepared for Estonia and Croatia because he ranked in 2nd and 3rd. Before Lithuanian performance Maqwell played Europapa for skipping the "GENOCIDE" country and people donated to Palestine. The goal is to reach $500. That stream hits the goal after the croatian performance. Maqwell's most hated song for this year's Eurovision is the Cyprus one and he said: "It's actually alright". The final performance was Austria and Maqwell has turned the lights on and guess what: his batteries of the flashlight were running out. The jury voting was the hope that "GENOCIDE" country won't give 12 points to any country until televoting. The televoting was the reason so many countries got robbed even the chat said that. UK got 0 points and then he forgot to skip the "GENOCIDE" country. That's why Maqwell's Twitch account got suspended because of that. Thankfully you managed to complete the whole stream without being suspended from Twitch.

I guess you have to have been in your 20's during the 1990's, to really appreciate the 90's vibe of Austria's 'We will rave' - and I certainly did.....and certainly was in my 20's back then, which kind of makes me........ anyway! It clearly went over the heads of you Gen Z'ders! Just thought it had so much hi energy, and was EXACTLY the song to wake people up..... who'd dozed off either at home or in the arena. My god, the strobe lights for it. Intense. Who cares if the lyrics weren't great - when has a rave anthem ever had exquisite lyrics??! It was just really good - cracking tune....which didn't deserve second last place.

VSauce! That's who he reminded me of. And I haven't seen anyone mention it T-T (I thought his RU-vid name was Veritasium or something, I'm not good with names though)

brother ur ratings are crazy, i think u slept threw the whole eurovision 😭

Congrats Nemo 👍😎❤️🎉🎶🇨🇭

dio: It's kinda like The Hunger Games, but without the hunger me: and without the games dio: and without the death me: oh... -(there was death, but that's a topic for another day)-

hi! do you know what your nickname means in Italian?😅

YOOOOO

Nice princess connect ost in the background!

Watch this... all songs of this year in one mix: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_bMEqcv-fyw.html

you have such w opinions my man and then it comes to LITHUANIA???? HELLO????

Seriously check out the Serbian jury winner's song in 22 - it's seriously off the wall and .....brilliant bring a translation of the lyrics. Its called In Corpore Sano - you're welcome.

Marina❤zari❤Greece❤❤❤❤

PLEASE react to the Dutch performence is the semis, it's so funny

Es una buena muestra de la decadencia de Europa, sí

For me there was only one winner, and that was Joost Klein. After disqualied from the EBU.

Yep its so crazy 😂

Why didnt you react the Netherlands?

Sweden on 1 for mee❤❤❤❤

Non Eurovision related question - I ask this with no disrespect, Im just curios. Is your bed in a kitchen?

The netherlands is the true winner

not lithuania being arguably my favourite song

Im sorry your life is so borring that you "fall a sleep" when a good song comes up

You didn't even dare to show a part of Uk song... for a good reason 🙂 They spinning around on a disk 😞 I saw only one person. Honestly his vocals were great and the song was catchy, not sure he really deserves 1st place. But in general what you look it about how crazy and catchy the song is, you missed a lot of good songs (all with actual vocals)

FREE JOOST

Finnish song was not boring.

Thanks dude for just dismissing the UK🇬🇧.😢 The UK entry had the best performance, production and staging value of any of the other acts . You forget the UK export more music artist after the US. So it's sad you didn't like Olly Alexander and the boys, who I may say were amazing with that core strength hanging upside down etc during the performance. .

Bro, you skipped over Israel. Despite how anyone feels about what's going on over there and anyone's opinions about it, the song was powerful and somewhat emotional if you understand what the song was about. Second favorite behind Ireland.

You should really do something about your falling asleep during ballads. You're still young, it's not a good look on you.

Næhhh

I'm a huge Eurovision nerd myself. You should listen to the studio recordings (they're on RU-vid also) of some of the songs you didn't like (not Germany's, it really did stink) and see what you think. The UK's song, for example, is much better. Also...are you able to explain why Switzerland was good? I couldn't stand it and thought it would get "null pointes" but it won. I just don't get it. Croatia should have won. Also, check out Netherland's song that was disqualified, it is also really good

Croatia winner the Best ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

It's insane because it's a mess and robbed

Israel got 323 points from televote

Israel was so good

no europapa? dislike

Modern mad circus like once in sodom-decadence Weimar republic.

After this year eurovision problaby going to die

Croatia is the real winner

It seems you know very little about the Eurovision Contest 😂

Very underwhelming when you dont acknowledge 🇮🇱 Israel. I wuestion your taste in mudic or regard to music. Besides France, Eden was the only good song in top 5. Nemo is crazy, cant understand how his song was liked but thats the Eurovision

N a z i conference
