Jamala - 1944 - 🇺🇦 Ukraine - Grand Final - Eurovision 2016 

"You think you are gods but everyone dies" gets me every single time

I can see the pain in her eyes... She didn't only sing, she lived the song!

I still don't understand how people in the past thought her singing was bad cause bish what? Goosebumps everytime!

Some songs win, but some songs win and make history 💙💛

For those who don’t know: the part which sounds like “screaming” is actually called “ağıt”, which is like a folk melody sang for the dead usually when grieving. An ancient Turk tradition. You can say it’s similar to requiems. ❤️

This needs to be performed during this year's ESC. Not as a contestant, but during the performance.

When that song won Eurovision, I was 10. I remember, that i didn't understand that song and what is it about. But now, 7 years later, when i'm older, I understand a message of that song. Thank you Jamala and Ukraine for giving us that very emotional and beautiful song. A deserved victory.

I feel so lucky because I m Turkish I can understand every part of the lyrics. It is so touching 🇹🇷

"You think you are gods, but everyone dies" Such a powerful line

This song hits harder than ever nowadays. Stay strong Ukraine!

As a Turkish person, I really love the part where she says “ Aman aman “ 2:05 dunno why but it gives me goosebumps everytime

2024 рік, передивляюся цей виступ не знаю вже який раз і всеодно не можу не ревіти, сльози самі катяться …

I saw in some comments that they say "her song is mostly made out of of screams" I just have to say this, the way she "screams" is something called "ağıt" in many Turkish folklore in general, and it's an expression of grief and sadness in a very powerful way. There are many great songs made out of mostly 'ağıt'. So when you listen this song, think that this is her and her people's expression of grief for the people they lost and their homes because of selfishness and fascism of some big states. And her voice and her song is beautiful that's how she won, so suck it.

The way she screams in pain - no matter how many times I've watched - I feel it.

One of the greatest Eurovision performances ever, truly masterful & more relevant than ever. You can feel the pain in every note, in every word.

І скільки б років не пройшло,і скільки б оаз я не слухала цю пісню- я поачу як навіжена,емоції через край!!!! Шедевральна пісня!

Джамала, сама того не зная, в 2016 пела не только о прошлом Украины, но и о ее будущем...

"We could build a future" "Where people are free" Stay strong Ukraine 💙💛

I can’t listen to this without crying my eyes out. Her voice is spectacular.

"Vatanıma doyamadım!" Türkiye'den selamlar. Kalplerimiz, dualarımız Ukraynalılar ve Kırım Türkleri ile. Savaşa hayır! "Yurtta barış, dünyada barış!"

Ukraine was the most creative, unique and "brave"! They took a trip-hop/folk song instead of trashy pop. Congratulations! Jamala's voice is phenomenal

Look at that dislike bar...So many angry Russians, furious how Eurovision for one isn't leading a policy of appeasement towards their government and gave the award to an actually good song.

Коли вона співала проминуле, вона навідь не думала що співає про майбутнє. Кожен раз коли слухаю це, мурахи по тілу…

I remember that night.. i was watching the show but i fall asleep.. during my sleep i heard Ukraine's performance,i got up and started crying... Masterpiece ✨✨

February 2022, I’m still crying. It’s so beautiful song..

Many thanks to all foreigners for your support. I am writing now this and hear the shells exploding outside my window, I hear the trembling of the windows and the sofa under me. This is very scary, but i hope that in many years I will listen to this song with my children or grandchildren at family evenings🙏

Amazing voice. And a absolutely fantastic performance. Especially the lightshow. Win totally deserved.

Το καλύτερο ως τραγούδι που υπήρξε ποτέ στην eurovision μόνο η αληθινή ζωή μπορεί να βγάζει τα καλύτερα και αυτό είναι από την αληθινή ζωή ♥️🇪🇺🇺🇦♥️

Ben bu şarkıyı dinleyince tüylerim diken diken oluyor her seferinde...

I'm from Australia and TBH, I don't even care if Australia won or not, its a contest and the person who gives an outstanding performance wins, this is clearly an outstanding performance. Not saying the others are bad, this just stands out more. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG, THEN PLEASE GO AWAY!! LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA:-) Hopefully I will get to see you live one day

SLAVA UKRAINE FROM POLAND

I still get goosebumps even after 8 years

Nobody can put this woman down, they've tried a million times and it never works 💙💛 💅

When I was a kid I couldn't understand why this won. Now I can see it very clearly. This hits every nerve and bone. Holy. Thank god this song won.

Please invite Jamala to sing this song in Turin 2022

Still giving me goosebumps

Everything will be fine for us. My prayers are with you. 🇦🇿🇺🇦🫂🫂🫂

I think this message got to the jury's and people at home and understood the pain in the message and that she just wants peace. I'm so surprised with the dislikes but I'm just thinking its Russians tbh

3 month later and i still listen to this song almost every day wtf Edit: 5 years later and i don't listen to the song every day put i still come back to it every once in a while because it's still a jaw dropping song and performance.

It is sad that many people understood the meaning of this song only now. But now is better than never.

---[UK]--- Undoubtedly, Jamala's song is one of the best performances, if not the best in history... it is so strong emotionally that it touches every fiber of the soul, makes you empathize, suffer, shed tears for humanity and its future ! Tears are welling up in my eyes from pain for Ukraine... Jamala, you represented independent Ukraine ! You win ! Ukraine will also win ! Glory to Ukraine ! Glory to the defenders of Ukraine ! We - Azerbaijani Turks - wish Ukraine a speedy, convincing and final victory ! ---[UA]--- Безсумнівно пісня Джамали - це одне з кращих виконань якщо не найкраще за всю історію ... так воно сильне емоційне чіпає всі фібри душі змушує співперебувати страждати лити сльози за людство за його майбутнє ! У мене навертаються сльози від болю за Україну... Джамала ти представляла незалежну Україну ! Ти перемогла ! Переможе і Україна ! Слава Україні ! Слава захисникам України ! Ми - азербайджанські тюрки - бажаємо Україні якнайшвидшої, переконливої та остаточної перемоги ! ---[AZ]--- Şübhəsiz ki, Camalanın mahnısı tarixin ən yaxşısı olmasa da, ən yaxşı ifalardan biridir... o qədər güclüdür ki, ruhun hər lifinə toxunur, insanlıq üçün, onun gələcəyi üçün empatiya yaradır, iztirab çəkir, göz yaşı tökür! Ukrayna acısından gözlərimdən yaş axır... Camala, sən müstəqil Ukraynanı təmsil etdin ! Sən qalibsən ! Ukrayna da qalib olacaqdır ! Ukraynaya eşq olsun ! Ukrayna müdafiəçilərinə eşq olsun ! Biz Azərbaycan türkləri Ukraynaya sürətli, inamlı və yekun qələbə arzulayırıq ! --- ---[UK]-[UA]-[AZ]--- Love from Azerbaijan - «The Land of Fire» (Azerbaijani: «Odlar Yurdu») ! 💖🇦🇿 Любов з Азербайджану - «The Land of Fire» (Azerbaijani. «Odlar Yurdu») ! 💖🇦🇿 Azərbaycandan - «Odlar Yurdu»dan sevgi (Azerbaijani. «Odlar Yurdu») ! 💖🇦🇿 ---

Смотрю на дизлайки, читаю комментарии и сижу в шоке. Неужели люди стали настолько безчувственными? Я не могу (хочу, но не могу) лишний раз включить и послушать, а главное посмотреть на все это, потому что Джамала исполнила и прочувствовала песню до костей просто!!! Такие эмоции от он нее, слезы текут... . Джамала действительно талант, это надо знать всем и Признать!

Stay strong Ukraine. The whole world will support you🙏🏽

Still the best Eurovision song. Stay strong Ukraine! Every time I go back to it, tears come to my eyes. Poland is with you Ukraine!

This performance always makes me cry. SO powerful!

I just fucking love this song and perfomance

The story of this song: It is about the Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin deporting 240,000 Tatars to Central Asia. Stalin accused the Turkish population of collaborating with the Nazis in May 1944 and deported thousands of people to the eastern regions. Most of its people died due to poor living conditions. Jamala's family also exiled

Ukraine IS just incredible and in 2023 this song still so so so emotional! JAMALA WE LOVE YOU YOU ARE THE BEST ! ❤

The only song who go straight to my heart and make my soul cries

Suddenly this song has a COMPLETELY different meaning. I can't stop feeling my eyes watering while watching. Stay strong Ukraine 😭 Love from Cyprus

I'm from Peru where it's very important to love our country , that's why I really like this song. It's about some historic thing. And not about love or having a good time like always .

Best eurovision song ever. Cause it's not just a song...

The goosebumps I get every time I watch this performance are insane

This was the last winning Eurovision performance my dad saw before he passed away❤️he was the biggest fan of Eurovision

This song relates to every nation that suffered from wars and invasions

кожного разу мурахи по шкірі від цієї пісні, і сльози на очі навертаються, і люта злість, і гордість за наш великий народ, який вистояв, через стільки всього пройшов і продовжує боротись за своє існування за свою свободу

Зараз, як ніколи, розумієш про що ця пісня 🥺♥️

This HAS to be performed in Eurovision this year. What she is explaining in the lyrics is happening in Ukraine right now. Or maybe a new song from Jamala under the name "2022"?

*Каждый год в начале мая россияне поют одну и ту же песню: голосование нечестное, нас засудили. Но едут на Евровидение снова, снова и снова. Ну что сказать... Украина - с заслуженной победой!*

It doesn’t matter how much time passes I still cry every time I listen to this song. What an amazing singer, love Jamala ❤

This is an absolutely incredible beautiful song!

I love Jamala's song!! It's amazing. And her voice it's wonderful. Greetings From Mexico

Turkey proud of you jamala.《1944》

We will always stand up for you Ukraine💙💛. Uk is with you

Slava Ukraine... Love from Namibia ~Afrika❤

I feel really sorry for all the people from Ukraine. I wish the whole world would be brave as you are. People in the comments, please do not forget to help them via donations in your country. Ukraine we are with you! 💙🌼🇺🇦🇨🇿

Beautiful song! Greetings from Indonesia

Gençliğime doyamadım Ben bu yerde yaşayamadım 😢 Respect from Turkey

One of the most diserved winners.

Вы помните хоть один год, когда Россия не обвиняла Европу в заговоре против России после очередного проигрыша на Евровидении? Я нет.

Such a powerful song, a well-deserved winner! Congratulations from Belgium!

What a song!!!! Especially those parts in Tatar Turkic ❤ clearly illustrate every inch of the history. As an Azerbaijani 🇦🇿, I felt every single part of the song. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦❤🇦🇿

Today i got the chance to hear 1944 live in my city during jamala's rehearsal. I got instant chills, i was shaking cause of the power that this song has. Absolutely breathtaking voice

For people whose saying she's just screaming in this song, no, she isn't just screaming. It's a Turkic melody style. It's the way shows the pain and suffer, past sadness. You can find the lament almost every traditional Turkic song, this is the culture.

Хотелось бы, чтобы такой уровень песен стал в порядке вещей на Евровидении. Тогда бы было интересно его смотреть тем, кто разбирается в музыке, а не завсегдатаям караоке-баров.

Стільки років пройшло, але все одно кожен раз ця пісня доводить до сліз. Цей біль моле зрозуміти той, хто його відчував.

I'm crying...thank you
