Eurovision 2024 - Commentator Reactions to Qualifying - Semi-Final 1 - ENGLISH SUBTITLES 

Finland is Europe's world champion, we are eurovision superpower, we are Sweden! 😄 Yeah, I love Mikko too. 😁

Lololololol Mikko being Mikko

kiitos paljon

4. In. A row. 👏

Bruh it's a music contest, not a Football match.

@@Bionickpunkthose reactions are way more fun to me! That’s the exact attitude we should be treating this with! Go watch Live at the Met or golf or something lol

@@SuperJNG18 Oh cute, so anyone who disagrees at exaggerated yelling is suddenly a golf and met watcher. 🤦

@@Bionickpunk it's not an exaggerated reaction at all, he was probably just surprised that they got called so early. Stop being annoying

Ukraine qualified every single time, we’re quite used to it by now lol, I can’t even imagine what our reaction will be the first time Ukraine NQs

Yeah, and they're right to be proud. Really good song, fun performance, it was an honor to watch them. Good job, Australia.

Us Aussies love a good party even if we NQ'ed. It's the first time I've heard of an English/ Yankunytjatjara (indigenous) lanauge fusion and it was especially important for us in the context of things atm. Here's to EF making a future comeback. :D

This year was pretty harsh, there were just not enough spots for all the acts, that would have deserved to be in the finals, in both semis.

This is sportsmanship.

Yeah and Poland was 12th. Australia was 11th

Missed the translation for the Sami comments.

For many years it used to be just Finnish and Swedish. And in 2022 and 2023 they also had Ukrainian.

No English! On Finland!

Yeah, I had no idea they had so many commentators for all the languages!!

Our national final UMK even had official commentation in 8 languages! 😊

We've edited it in. :)

2011 and 2013 says hi

@@lluisgandiadiaz3014 No one in Ireland remembers 2013 lol

@@patriciag6030 BUT you qualified as you did in 2011,you said you only did in 2012 and 2018 and simply,thats not true,Ah,2010 too

We had this multiple times the netherlands in the past. Happily god heard me when I said that we didnt want to he anounced last this time

Good news, we figured it out! It's been edited in now :)

as an Irish person: "ye are divils (horrible but in a lighthearted way 😭) for waitin- for making us wait" hope it helps 😂😂😂😂❤

He’s genuinely hard to hear. My girlfriend and I were brought to tears with laughter trying to understand him.

That's what the subtitles said before? HAHAHAH

And still alive

She did make a reference to its participation that counts.

Funny when translated to russian, your comment is he isolated taoaoaoaoa Aaaaa

it was insane :)

Stay mad 💀

@@totallynotblakem7026 💀💀💀

I think you can safely assume the commentators weren’t happy 😂 I am Australian but try to avoid watching with them because they’re so annoying lol

@@kaitlins2934 I mean that can happen when your commentators are literally comedians

She probably had that speech ready cause she knew they were NQing lol

@@Marzi29lol true. Also liked Moldova’s “fair is fair, we have to respect the rules” thing (which probably isn’t but I would like to think is shade toward Romania for trying to trade votes a few years ago)

True, I heard Israel intervened and lured the seniors and the kids to vote for Hera instead.

Nah, he just talks like this, trust me

As well you should. Duška is iconic. She’s been doing this for years. So dry and sarcastic. Even better than Terry Wogan!

Nah but where’s the Esperanto commentary from Finland?

Pure speculation to make everyone feel better

Just speculation. Poland had a lot of diaspora in this semi so they probably missed out by like 1 point lmao

Sheer speculation based on comments and probably the atmosphere that was around Luna's song prior to the contest. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if she was 11th either.

Why he acting like Poland never qualifies? They literally did two years in a row.

​@@nobodyimportant281and last year with the song everybody hated lol. It was waaaaaaay better than this mess. I'm glad it didn't take someone else's, more deserving, place

Because both finnish and swedish are official languages of Finland, sami is significant minority language and there also is quite good amount of those who speak russian. Our national final UMK had commentation in addition of these, two different sami languages, english, ukrainian and sign language. YLE is putting an effort to be accessible.

What did they say?

@@reislaya Он сказал во время голосования, что Молдова и Азербайджан - скучные. Я отчасти согласен, но всё же должна быть хоть какая-то этика. Да и не ему говорить кто тут скучный, когда от его страны такая же скука была. + Австралия не Европа

​@eurapejskizviaz9893 that's so wrong, but most commentators are doing it all the time, albeit rather in semi-finals they're not competing in.

They called iolanda's makeup ugly

@@matthewtan961 Well then they’re just ugly themselves 🤡Hating on others

Luxembourg has three official languages: Luxembourgish, French and German. Luxembourgish is a bit similar to German, so they might have been speaking that? At least it wasn't Hochdeutsch.

He speaks Luxemburgish, which linguistically is a Moselle Franconian dialect/variety of German that was standardised in the 70s and given the status of an official language in the 80s.

As German I also just understood the first 2 sentences. The rest wouldv'e been a guessing game for me. So it's definitely not german (the caption also says itsLuxembourgish). :D

The official languages in Luxembourg are Luxembourgish; German and French. The broadcaster opted for English instead of German because 99% of viewers that understand Luxembourgish understand German perfectly fine and people that only speak German would just watch the German domestic broadcast instead; German in modernday Luxembourg is understood and spoken by the majority of the native population but not commonly spoken in day to day life and or by foreigners; whereas a big part of the population (~50%) are foreigners that usually come from other places and mostly only have knowledge in French or English. Linguistically some people say Luxembourgish is a dialect of German others claim that it is a proper language; and being able to understand it as a native German speaker often depends on where the German speaker originates from (somebody living close to Luxembourg can usually understand most things said when they learned a local related "dialect" while for example people from east and northern Germany usually struggle a lot). My take on it is that Germans have it the wrong way and just claim every variation of "German" to be a dialect while some dialects in Germany are not even intelligeable to other Germans (like swiss German; Bavarian; Swabian or Frisian) (very similar how China groups every Chinese dialect as Chinese). The differenciation is often a political decision and often when Germans say Luxembourgish isn't a language but a dialect of German I just tell them they have it the wrong way and German is just a dialect of Luxembourgish (both statements are equally true/false)

you are the only clown boomer

No you don't have to see, the video has a forwarding feature, you know 😉 I think it is cool that our broadcaster has official commentation in four different languages spoken in Finland, and that this video featured them all.

Well I mean you see a clown everytime you look at the mirror anyway so it's not like you're not used to it... 🤷‍♀

Well, you are right
