Eurovision 2019 - Grand Finale Running Order Reaction- 1st Half 

Are you going to do a live reaction to the results?

Placement won't affect The Netherlands that much. Staging is just what it needed to be. Imagine if he went full idiot mode with props and fireworks... It wouldn't be good. It's such a masterpiece and the good thing is that the staging doesn't take your focus off the song, it just drags you even more into it.

You have a good prediction potential. I knew too, Netherlands would score up high. I really loved north Macedonia too. Was a power song for me.

2018: 5 of the big 5 + host country in first half 2019: 1 of the big 5 + host country in first half

So many great entries! And thank you for a great channel!

The staging for The Netherlands is boring? But what should’ve he done instead? Just standing there is copying Portugal 2016. Duncan is a composer, so to me it’s logical that he’s behind the piano. I’m curious to hear what you think.

#TeamDuncan #TeamVictor I'm so exited oh god. After the grand Final we'll have to wait another year again though :( It has been an amazing year! Let's have fun!!

I can't wait! 😍😍😍

You were so right!!

how everyone placed in the semi finals has nothing to do with their placement in the final. there are two factors with wich the organizers decide how to place each country: the first one is each country's props on stage. if two countries have big and difficult to move props they won't place them back to back cause they won't have enough time to switch them. with that said i don't know why they put australia and then spain. i'm guessing one of the hosts will speek a little after australia like they did in the semifinal so they can wheel australia out of the stage. the second one is the songs. if they are up beat or more slow. they won't put back to back two songs that are slow cause then people at home will probably fall asleep. this is why they alternate one slow and one up beat song every year. you have to remember that for us it will be night so in order to keep us awake that's why they open and close the show with 2 really up beat songs ( malta and spain ). i'm telling you i don't know how i'm going to last. i had to have an afternoon nap in order to last so i can see the results. the contest will end arround 3 am in my country.

You may have missed these in the press-conferences. But the 1st or 2nd Half's were drawn earlier in the week. The order within the half is determined by the EBU. By the end post-1 SF all but 3 spot in the 2nd half of the Grand Final were already drawn at random. So only 3 acts from 2nd SF could draw for the 2nd half of tonight.

For your comment about the Neterlands: I don't think the running order has as much impact for the favouites, because they will (probably) do well anyway.

Thanks for your honest opinion. Btw, in semi-final they just announce the winners randomly, not like Cyprus is on the first place and someone else is second etc....

Wow people we're zo wrong about the Netherlands' staging.. and so were you haha WINNER!! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 The staging made it emotional and even more heartfelt..

I agree with you Jake, TN is probably going to end up 2nd or 3rd.

Greeces singer sounds exactly like jess glynne. Don't know if you're familiar with her

It's so interesting to see all those predictions after the final 😂

Always enjoy your reaction video's. Btw is your reaction video of the Dutch entry deleted?

Jake, you don't have long to get the other one up. I really want to see it!

For me, it has to be different. I’ve heard before songs like Netherlands, Sweden, Cyprus... Same all same all. Easy songs. So, are we choosing good song, or rememberable stage song?

Sometimes these placements are based on how well they did with the juries. Example: Albania went late in the first semi last year and they did very well with the juries but outside the Top10 with the televoters.

Back from watching the Final! 4 from the 1st half made it to the top 10. North Macedonia scored their best score ever. Sergey is forever a bridesmaid at 3rd. Sweden barely won televoting. And of course, Netherlands won!

Hungary😣

Don’t forget your scorecard Jake! You should (hopefully) be able to get it on BBC website: www.bbc.co.uk/eurovision

The staging is not that important with this song. It is all about the song. It does not need circus on the stage like other countries.

Go Sweden!!

albania deserved more

🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

❤

There are two types of people: people in denial about Jonida’s unfortunate vocals and OGs

Damn Albania is 2nd.....oof. Although I don't really care that much about getting a good placement this year.

Just read that it’s not going to be televised in the US. How are you going to be able to watch it Jake as I also read RU-vid have put a geoblock that stops it being watched live in the US on the Eurovision.tv channel... really hope you can watch it live

and like other times Italy has been penalized by the popular jury

Iceland got scammt

Jakeeeeeee you are late 🤣😁😉👍 We are waiting for your face reacts 😮😃🤔😤🤪

And who won ?????? The Netherlandsssss🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱you not have to worrie anymore😂😂😂

Switch song Eurovision please

Poor malta

Don‘t be shy to bash a German ESC entry. You will never exceed the bashing we give our own entry. 🤣🤣🤣

Лазарев давай давай давай!!!)))

Every year the same old voting. Guessed 99 % of the votes. As usual, politics in Europe dictate the votes. And what's with all the English songs? How are they representing their countries? We may as well call it Englovision.

Denmark, Albania and San Marino will end up in the bottom and Germany will be last.
