Eurovision: A worldwide spectacle 

Except it's not a singing competition, it's a SONG competition. Big difference.

It's NOT a singing Competition, it's in the name: >>Song Contest

Bruh Abba won in 1974 not 1976. And it's NOT like American Idol. And it's not One of the biggest music competitions. It is THE BIGGEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

ABBA won in 1974 not 1976, and Eurovision is a SONG contest not a singing competition. Every country send a original song sung by a already based known artist or an upcomming artist that has already won a national final to represent their country

In short: it is the olympics of music..

as an american i apologize for them saying it’s a singing competition

Gurl, again with the "American Idol" comparison. Literally at different levels.

Americans will never fully understand the Eurovion Song Contest because it is much more than just a competition. It is Europe lived, it is a feeling of pride, it is a cultural institution, it shows us Europeans every year what we have in common, despite the diversity on this continent. In Europe you only need to drive a few kilometers and you are in a different culture, with a different language, different traditions, different food. Europe is an enormous diversity and yet we have so much in common. That's one of the reasons Europe was able to rule much of the world.

When misinformed americans would learn that it has nothing in common with American Idol,since it is not a singing competition? EUROVISION SONG CONTEST,people. Not a random talent show. Every country sends an original song,usually performed by someone (singer/band) that is already known in her/his/their own country,and most of the time that were selected by people voting on their national selections. Yes,sometimes there are few politics involved (countries voting for their neighbors,or not giving any points to their enemies),but it is not a general thing. Actually,some of the past winners were Portugal,The Netherlands or even Italy this year,that had nothing to do with politics. Please americans,just stay in your bubble if you are not going to inform properly.

Bit much to call Manizha "controversial". Most of the hate she gets is because of her Tajik origins (ie. racism) or outspoken support for women's and LGBT issues.

It's so funny how Americans seems so confused by this competition 😂

ABBA won Eurovision in 1974, not 1976!

How come each so-called journalist over there starts the video comparing the ESC to American Idol? We're in 2021 and you don't still know how to use Google even though you invented it?

Americans always trying to compare.. American Idol on Steroids.. OMG, it's the biggest song competition since 1956, don't compare.. Nothing compares

"one of the biggest singing competitions"?? Girl its THE biggest, it's even bigger than Superbowl!

The Eurovision Song Contest week is the best time of the year (okay X-mas and my birthday are better) ....if you miss this show, then you missed something big ! Greetings from Germany to all fans in the USA. Love you.

Even Flo Rida is performing for San Marino!

Anxhela being used as the example of "booming voices" is exactly in line with my fantasy.

Something Europe has that America doesn't and will never have. FEELS GOOD.

Any Americans who are already huge fans of Eurovision?❤️

ABBA won in 1974 not 1976

Video: ABBA won in 1976 1974: am I a joke to you

Eurovision is ❤️

This year Cyprus, Malta, Ukraine my fav's.. ❤ eurovision

Again the American Idol comparison. It had already been around for nearly 50 years before American Idol even existed!!!

This is ICONIC !

” one of the most ” lol its the most viewed song contest in the world

I'm not the hardcore fan of Eurovision, yet it's a tradition to me and my family to watch the finals' night together and vote our favorite. There's just something truly unique about a whole continent to come together for one night. Greets from Finland 🇫🇮

Cmon Netflix! Make us another Eurovision video lmao it was so funny!

First time I ever heard about this. We Americans hardly ever hear anything about what goes on in the rest of the world.

That thumbnail definitely got my attention.

not even close too American idol even Victoria from måneskin said it’s not

Welcome America to Eurovision, tune in, get drunk, & party!

IT IS NOT LIKE THE IDOL!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ it is bigger than super bowl and with original songs representing countries! Not to mention is 200million people watching all over the world!

Not a bad report despite the American Idol comparison :P Better coverage than usual from the US media actually.

There is not even a remote similarity between Eurovision and the American Idol. But it is always that thing with people from the U.S.A. ... Thinking that the whole world revolves around them.

This is LIFE

The best band in Eurovision history is Genghis Khan trust me they're like the European power rangers

"one of the biggest singing competions in the world" no you are wrong it is the biggest

Europe interpreting America: Europe on Steroids

that booming voice was from Albania! ❤️

Netty: "Eurovision isnt the place for politics" also her song: "equal respect for women" in a country like isreal

I ❤️ Eurovision

Nothing like american idol

its SOOOOOOOONG COMPETITION for crying out loud!!! geeez!

Somehow I find it funny that the US never fully grasps what and how Eurovision actually is like. Everytime the US media tries to cover Eurovision it's always some half-baked sh*t like this xD

The ABBA won in 1974. Not 1976. Also Olivia Newton John participated in 1974. Representing UK.

"Since 1956, nearly 52 countries have participated." So 51? What an odd sentence.

2:25 Netta: Politics should be kept out of Eurovision. Shows Hatari.

Who else clicked the second they saw *Will Ferrell* #KnowByTheBottomTeeth

Hello everyone, this video is good! ❤

❤️

Also... Flo Rida is representing San Marino

Netta makes a song about gender issues Also Netta: Eurovision isnt the place for politics

Waterloo was released in 1974 not 1976

Go for the Albanian song 🎶 great great voice #anxhelaperisteri

Damn this reporter didnt even dare to look more than 5 minutes bout whats Eurovision

0:08 EFENDIII😍🇦🇿

The people are watching, Italians win the Eurovision Song Contest since 1990.

As an American I apologize for whatever the hell this broadcast is

It’s like American idol on steroids I’m sorry had American idol been airing since the 1950s?

Not her comparing to Eurovision to American idol

ABBA win 1974, not 1976!

I love the diversity!

Abba's real win is in 1974. Correct that

it triggers me every time they compare it to American Idol. Stephen Colbert's parody is a prime example of how clueless they are when it comes to Eurovision.

EUROCOCAVISION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abba won in 1974. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee. OMGGGG

Serbia 🇷🇸

They really had to make this about Israel lol

#️⃣1️⃣9️⃣🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Netta says Eurovision isn't the place for politics while sending a feminist song at the height of #MeToo movement.

0:55, 1974

Ummm...didn't ABBA win in 1974?

It’s not like American idol and it’s the BIGGEST tv show in the world… not …one of …

Who else didn’t know this was a real thing and thought will Ferrell made it up

🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️❤️❤️

"return of eurovision" where did it go?? did americans just not know about it? "like american idol on steroids" i am literally throwing up from that description

And everything is about them again

As an Eurovision fan, everything about this makes me so so angry

Long live Ukraine 🇺🇦

The biggest contest ...not one of a

Eurovision a american idle first thing whats american idle qnd how dare you compare it to eurovision

😴😴 Although ABBA is sooooo underrated...

I know it's really hard to choose which side to really be on both of them seem to be good at times. But please choose the one that protects life from the womb to the grave.

This is a real thing???... I thought it was just a movie lol.

Steroids??no bad....your cancelled

Basically it’s the UEFA Euro contest for gay people?

Diablo, fuego, loca, viva, adrenina just take a spanish word and make song around it...ew!

Why do Americans always compare it to American Idol? It's nothing like that! American Idol tries to make new stars, Eurovision already has the stars. We have localized versions of American Idol in Europe and god, it's awful. Castings are fun, but that's it.

WTF IS THIS???

I hear people at the bus stop make up better songs off the top of their heads than any Eurovision song.

I think I hate eurovision

Looks Satanic

Progresist spectacle. It s more about other things than music.

american idol came from british simon cowell's idol which in turn came from eurovision which in turn came from sanremo so yeah, amercians can compare eurovision....as a child of eurovision.....as a grandchild of sanremo....american idol as a DESCENDENT of eurovision!!!!
