REACTING TO THE EUROVISION 2022 FINAL! 

I hope that British people finally understand that the low rankings the UK has gotten are not caused by any hatred of leaving the European Union, but the tradition of continuously sending lame and radio-friendly poop to a song contest. Let this year prove you wrong ❤️

My biggest shock is France's 24th place. They were better than many other, just my opinion. Top 5 are all well deserved, and I wouldn't mind if any of them won.

So happy for Sam and the 🇬🇧. He has made us a very proud nation

Congratulations Ukraine and UK! ❤️ All the top 5 are so deserved. I was shocked Germany and France got so low and that Australia got only 2 points from the televotes

Congratulations 🇬🇧🔝🇪🇸 The best position in years!!! Thanks Luke and mamá Trish🫶🇪🇸❤️

Highlights for me: *🇱🇹 My sparly queen/President Monika getting some love from the televote AS SHE RIGHTFULLY DESERVES *🇵🇹 Maro, a true artist with a beautiful, culturally significant entry killed by the running order gets to the top 10 thanks to the jury. * 🇷🇸 The audience clapping along * 🇸🇪 Cornelia

I'm so proud of Sam Ryder! That performance was amazing and he's done the UK really proud :)

I loved your reactions! UK was my winner and I'm so happy for Sam getting so many points ❤️ I'm also proud of Chanel for her amazing work and performance, I never thought I would live to see us so high on top!

Thanks for your reaction! 🇺🇦🐈🇬🇧 And of course thanks for your support. We'll never forget it

I do not understand the only 2 points for Australia !!??? And the 24th place of France. Yes, I voted for UK. kisses from France to your lovely mother and you!

Congratulations to the United Kingdom!!! 🇬🇧 Beautiful song, the singer has a wonderful voice!

ok I knew Ukraine were gonna get a lot. I did not think it'd be 439 points. It almost seems made up I had to do a double-take!

I know your feeling about the UK; as a Spaniard, I'm also very proud. Incredible that last year we were at the bottom and this one 2nd and 3rd (with just 7 points of difference). Deserved!!

Congratulations to the UK and Spain, they made such a huge progress, from last places right to the top. I still think, people voted massively for Ukraine out of sentimental reason and compassion for their situation. I mean, it was a very good entry, but for me, definitely not the best of a strong ESC year. The biggest and unexpected surprise, France finishing second last! I mean, this entry deserved so much more! And many dear greetings to you and lovely mama Trish!!❤️

I am French. I have the impression that you have experienced what we French people experienced last year in the same situation. i wanted the united kindom to win this year. I am wholeheartedly with you, and it brought back bad memories for me, believing that we could do it. I give you all my support and I hope that next year you will not have the last place or almost, like us this year. It's very frustrating. But 2nd place is great too. Congratulation

When we (the UK) Won the jury vote that was the most gratifying feeling I’ve ever felt in my life 😂❤️❤️

Congrats to the UK from Austria! I am so happy for you, after all these years of... quite honestly, just very forgettable songs, Sam brought an absolute gem of a song! Watching the UK and Spain this year was so much fun, it felt like you had found your joy for this competition again!

Hello from Germany! Thanks, now I know where the six points for Germany came from... from your mother. 😃

Congratulations luke for the second place!! Greetings from Spain. Perfect Sam

"He said "I can't wait" but obviously can" - literally my thought yesterday 🤣

At least Germany didn't get the double zero. Malik didn't deserve that. I don't love the song either but he showed up and delivered.

Sad Germany got last and Marius getting 0 from the public, but I think the staging was fitting. France wasn't for everyone according to the points, but I actually thought it was cool. Spain getting so high with the juries surprised me too. Love you and mamma Trish's energy, and well done UK, deserved high placing.

Both of your reactions.....Priceless!!! Thank you for a great way to start the day here in Illinois!

On a different note, I just hope that now all the idiots that last year said UK was not getting voted "because of Brexit" will understand that that was BS... simply bring a good song, that's it! ;)

Loved both your reactions. Your mother is great. Bring her back next year. I'm glad the UK came in 2nd & Spain in 3rd but I would've been super happy if Spain won. Chanel slayed! Congrats to the Ukraine. ☮️ & ♥️ to all from 🇦🇺

Read a fantastic interview this morning with the management company who organised this year's UK entry alongside the Head of Delegation from the BBC and the intention is to continue with the progress made by the BBC this year. If they just bring Sam back again next year, I'll be a happy bunny 🐰

i'm from Ukraine, and I realy like Sam's song and voted for him. Thank you.

Love your Mum's honesty !! Douze Points! to Trish !!! 🥰

Congratulations! You've had points! Many of them! Voted for Sam Ryder twice. Cheers!

Fun to watch both of your reactions:)

“That was crap” got me dead!😭

Happy for you in the UK! Hopefully Germany can finally also get out of the hole of sadness just like the other big 5 in the last two years next year.

It's amazing that so many people are supporting Ukraine! The song was awesome, too! UK also!

So here are my (long-winded) thoughts on the grand final of Eurovision this year. Overall a great show. It was really well made and so many songs were performed so well in the grand final. The hosting was amazing and the hosts had great chemistry. Up there with last year and 2016 for sure. The biggest improvement on me based on the stagings in the semis was Belgium 🇧🇪, the staging was quite lacklustre in the semis although the song itself was amazing enough to warrant a vote in the semi. In the grand final though he really showed why he qualified. The staging was so much more impactful and it was so much better, it was almost perfect in my opinion which was miles ahead of the semi performance. He had much more charisma and control of the stage which I was missing in the semi performance and when he did some choreography I was more than sold. I was left speechless and shook positively by the performance. It was robbed by the televote but at least the juries loved it! Loved it before and the final performance is so much better than the one in semi 2. My biggest overall grower though is Serbia 🇷🇸. Honestly the staging was a miss for me in the selection but in Eurovision although there were no changes made to the selection staging I liked it much more than last time. The staging was just so hypnotic and it drew me in. I did not vote for it but it definitely stood out (for the better) to me. Also Germany’s 🇩🇪 staging was good and he had loads of passion performing it. I loved it, it just supplied a different vibe compared to the other songs. Also love how it was done in one-take, a really refreshing vibe. Honestly there were no massive disappointments for me in terms of stagings because I honestly felt impressed by loads of them. I also love that the UK 🇬🇧 did so well although I did not vote for it was great. I am so glad they got a great result in both the televote and the juries. It put the stupid rumour that “The UK 🇬🇧 never does well because of politics or whatever” to rest which is great for Birtish people. It deserved the love. And so did Spain 🇪🇸. I really liked both songs though. I was also shook that Switzerland 🇨🇭 got last in the televote with no points. I loved the performance and song and it was done dirty by the televote. I voted for it because the song was amazing and so was the performance. At least the juries loved him. Fun fact he actually has an Aussie passport. I am also glad that Germany 🇩🇪 got points from the televote for once. Honestly if anything I was expecting Germany 🇩🇪 to score with the juries and not with the televote. I was shook by many of the results. France 🇫🇷 and Czech Republic 🇨🇿 were the biggest shockers. My dad and I voted for Czechia 🇨🇿 and I voted for France 🇫🇷. They were robbed and they should have gotten more imo. Czechia getting destroyed by the running order and France being overshadowed by Ukraine 🇺🇦 are my best guesses for why they did so poorly. I voted for Estonia 🇪🇪, Ukraine 🇺🇦, Sweden 🇸🇪, Italy 🇮🇹 and Norway 🇳🇴 too and I am glad they did well in the televote and got on the left side of the scoreboard. I am also glad Romania 🇷🇴 made it to the final (for once) and scored 58 points in the televote, they deserved it and my mum actually voted for it and the performance was really good, the song has grown on me a little, the performance was so good and WRS is so cute to me. Australia 🇦🇺 and Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and although they did not deserve their results I was expecting a lacklustre result and they got it, although I love both the songs and I voted for Azerbaijan 🇦🇿. Actually considering that they got nil pointe in the televote in the semi so it unexpected that they even scored points from the televote in the grand final compared to their semi-final 2 result in the televote. But it was still saddening for me. Honestly I was not expecting loads for Belgium 🇧🇪, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, Australia 🇦🇺, Germany 🇩🇪 and Switzerland 🇨🇭(who I all voted for) in the first place not getting loads watching it but on retrospect there were just so many ballads that it was just so hard for them to stand out compared to other more upbeat songs. They did not deserve the hammering at all imo. And also as with Czech Republic 🇨🇿 we were destroyed by the running order because we were sandwiches right in between Sweden and The UK 🇬🇧 which were two massive fan favourites as seen in the results so I was not expecting us to get loads, but we did not deserve just 2 at all from the whole televote. Moldova 🇲🇩 was good too and their result was honestly very surprising. They deserved it though ngl. The performance was memorable and the song was quirky, catchy and ethnic which is something the televoters tend to respond in droves to. I wanted Sweden 🇸🇪 it win as it was my third place and I thought they would win. Ukraine 🇺🇦 deserved the love though. I am so happy that Ukraine 🇺🇦 won. The song really stood out and regardless of politics it is a worthy winner nonetheless. It is honestly really ignorant that people say they won just because of politics although that did play a role in the massive margin of votes between them and The UK 🇬🇧 (2nd place) but you cannot fully blame it on politics since it was an amazing song. And also btw, are you going to show her the non-qualifiers because she did not hear many of them yet and many of them are good. Hope you have a good rest of your week. Love your vids. Always look forward to them. See you next time.

I hope that you've going to do the reaction of the results of Junior Eurovision 2022 soon, because your country (United Kingdom) is FINALLY returning to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest after a 16-year hiatus!

Hey bro ! Thank you so much for your amazing reaction! Love and support from Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️

How about a reaction to Stefania official music video that just came out?

My god i laughed when you guys laughed 😂Congratulations for Sam and The UK for coming second,this was something we haven’t seen in a while. I hoped he had won,but still such an amazing result,so deserved❤️ Love from Finland🥰

you're so kind. Keep it up good people!!!

Congrats to Sam Rider and all of you Britts, from Spain slo mo, so happys and Slava Ukraine!!!!!!

This is SUCH a joy to watch,

Im so happy for Spain and the UK 🎉

Enjoyed your reaction, so glad you made a video with mama trish in it😃. Stefania was one of my top 5 songs and although they may have had a few pity votes it is still a great winner in my book. I voted for Sam and Im so happy he did so well. Congrats with the second place guys:) For Subwoolfer, Im a bit dissappointed that they didnt get higher, but just a bit. I never expected them to win, but I had hoped for a 6-8th place. But hey 10 is still within top 10 so still pretty good🤩. I wonder if the British people are more motivated for next years Eurovision now after almost winning, maybe there will be more great contestants coming the next years. Although I actually liked James Newman and his song, it wasnt a winning song, but it was a chill and happy song and deserved way more than 0.

My favourites were, in random order: Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova, France. I know Ukraine got many solidarity votes but they won with a banger!

Congratulations Uk!! you did amazing!! I voted for you 3 times from Spain. Thank you for your support to our chanel. Im so proud of both uk and spain. Top 3!! Maybe a win for one of us next year? We can do it!! Love you

I'm happy for the UK and Spain, but also Ukraine. They get so much hate because they won and it's so not deserved. They were great, they well-earned their win and I'm SO happy for them, they deserve the happiness. And the song is good, people voted musically as well

Congratulations UK! my 12 points were for hoy! You deserved be so high;)kisses from Spain

Another year over but a fun one. Happy to see you excited for the UK finishing 2nd. Now, let see what is going to happen with the host city situation. Will the BBC jump in should Ukraine’s broadcaster declines? Personal moment of the night was Sam giving Marius of Switzerland a hug after Marius got nil points from the public. Saw that on IG.

Luke White is the best and the most handsome visionguy with such a positive energy.

Listening to your mom tell them to hurry up reminds me of my mom and sister doing that. This was their first year watching Eurovision and my niece’s second year. My mom and sister were curious about it because of watching the American Song Contest (which did the points during the grand final the same way Eurovision does it except instead of going state by state the states were grouped into regions so there were 10 regional juries, but they had spokespersons for each region standing in front of backgrounds of a major city skyline in the region talking and giving the 12 points; the audience votes were done the same way except instead having to go through 25 songs there were only 10, though they certainly knew how to draw it out like Eurovision does!). They enjoyed it, but they definitely got impatient as we got closer towards having all the points given and were shouting at the tv for them to hurry up or to get on with it whenever they were silent and the intense music was playing. Here in the US our commentator was two-time Olympian Johnny Weir. He mostly just did commentary during the post cards between songs giving info about the song, artist, and the nation’s record in the contest. He also did commentary in a studio whenever there were “breaks” in the show (like whenever the hosts were telling you all the rules to vote and then opening up the voting lines we didn’t see that and instead went to the studio where he basically explained to the US audience what was happening and what was coming up). During the both voting segments he provided no commentary either so it was just what was being broadcast from the EBU. He came back in studio (in a corner box like during the post cards) after the winner’s performance ended while the end credits finished, the Moraccanoil ad occurred, and the ident sign off played and then it went full screen to the studio where he briefly recapped the show and thanked everyone for watching. He was actually a great commentator since he’s a Eurovision fan so he was able to explain things for the audience, especially those Americans watching for the first time, so they could follow along. I’ll admit to being a tad jealous that they got that since 2016-2018 LOGO was where it was broadcast and while they had commentators they only spoke to tell us about the artists and songs during the post cards and spoke to let us know that in the US we didn’t vote, otherwise they were silent. 2019 was on Netflix and was just the EBU broadcast itself, likewise 2021 was on NBC’s Peacock streaming service with just the EBU broadcast. So it was neat that NBC actually made an effort this year. Love the hat and shirt! 2nd place is really great for the UK! Doesn’t the UK have a record of having the most 2nd place wins? I think I remember reading or hearing that somewhere prior to this year’s contest when someone was discussing the history of the contest. It was a good song and Sam’s performance was amazing! In fact, I like the live performance much better than the studio version! He’s got such an amazing voice! Thanks for sharing your reactions! I’ll attribute the laughter to it being so late there and the situation was very intense and suspenseful! It was only nearly 6pm (18:00) where I live when I was watching it live. I certainly have had similar moments when it’s really late.

10:59 - "That was crap" ... seconds later: "Sorry, didn't mean to say that" .... also: "She looks like a nice lady" .... 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nah, it's fine, that reaction was genuine enough to make it sound adorable 😅

Oh god, England getting these point is wellll deseerved. Makes me smile and giggle how hyped you both are, haha.

It was a gorgeous performance. I got goosebumps

So much going on in that finale-sorry for the long text 🤣: 1) happy for Ukraine. I liked the song a lot. And I don’t mind them winning. The Eurovision is for coming together and standing together. And Europe wanted to show that they stand together for Ukraine. So it’s a valid win for me. 2) at the same time I shed a tear for Sam Ryder. I wanted him to win so much. He might have won if the circumstances weren’t as they are. His performance and vocals were amazing, definitely worth a victory. And he’s such a humble, genuine, happy person. I loved how he just smiled so wholesome when they announced the winner. Like he was just genuinely happy for them too. He can be proud of what he achieved. 3) shocking moments: Czech Republic being forgotten by the public, France not being appreciated, Australia not being appreciated by the public a bit more, Switzerland being massively overhyped by the jury (others might say underrated by public), Moldova being second in televote (pleasant shocker, but still a shocker), Norway not ranking, Greece not getting more televote (not my favorite either, but I predicted more for them), Azerbaijan and Switzerland qualifying with no or barely any points from the public. 4) I want the voting system to change already. It’s not about jury/televote, but about the points. The current 12 point system just shows a valid ranking for the upper part of ranking. But it doesn’t show how the actual order in the lower part. E.g. Germany wasn’t last place in many individual rankings in 2021 and 2021. the songs just didn’t get into the Top 10s. If we would have points from 25 to 1, the ranking would be much more adequate overall. 5) although I liked 2021 more, it was overall a great ESC again, with diverse songs, great vocals, fun songs and talented artists. Can’t wait for next year. 6) And of course it was great to follow all the reaction videos, rankings, covers etc. especially from you Luke, but also SchlagerLucas and others. I hope we get to see Trish again a bit more. Best wishes to her and to you (and of course Rocky 🐕).

Subwoolfer are the Legends of ESC Knew they were not going to win but they put on an Amazing show

What a MAGICal night CHANEL AND HIS TEAM gave us to all , THANK YOU THANK YOU AND MILLIONS OF THANK YOU CHANEL !!! We love you!!!

my favorites were moldova, france, netherlands, czech republic, spain, serbia & norway.

Thanks for video, hi from Ukraine!

10:59 as a serb and a huge Konstrakta's fan, i laughed so hard there xD

My congratulations to Sam and UK people. It was great performance! Sam is real winner, my respect! A big love💛💙 to 🇬🇧 from 🇺🇦

Hi Luke White! Hopefully you could go on and react to old Eurovision Song Contest from the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's. Like maybe top ten countries from random years, or just do some reations from Eurovision Song Contests from years when your mother was around your age. If so then you should do it together with your mother , you and her are a dynamic duo!

Here is the official video of the Kalush Orchestra song, watch in full ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z8Z51no1TD0.html

Hi Luke, just wondering if you will do another post-ESC depression video like last year?

So lovely your mom 😀

I love reaction with your Mom..she is great..And she know what is good :) for me also Czech Republic is brillant, energetic :) offcourse Spain awesome

Thank you 💙💛

I voted for both France and Germany - loved those songs and performances and cannot believe how criminally under-appreciated both were. Honestly, why?! Perhaps this was the biggest let-down of this year's final for me. Love from Italy xx

To my knowledge and since this separate jury/televote declaration, no country that led at the end of the jury vote went on to win the contest

Congrats to Ukraine!! That was an incredible moment, and I am so happy for them. Sam, WHAT A LEGEND! Congratulations to UK as well with an amazing result. Of course congrats to everyone else as well

Trish=taste ❤️💛❤️

To be honest Kalush performance and song was so good, but i wish you to spend Eurovision in your country, and i think it will be. You deserve that, so good luck🤝. Sorry, but Spain was little better for me. With ♥️ from Ukraine.

❤️Sam we love you👍🏾👍Thanks a lot 4 you expertise! You are a winnar too! Real 300 years old song from West area of Ukraine. But some motives are maybe 1000 times used in other countries and other cultures. Not a pity. Make songs, not war!

where are you from?

Biggest shock, France 24th, disgrace and Finland 21st Biggest pleasantly surprised. Portugal 9th and Lithuania 14th i wanted them higher, but i feared they would be forgotten completely.

france getting second last shocked me and Spain getting lots of jury votes shocked me too

Moldova number one🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩

So proud of Sam and happy for Ukraine but can’t help think that it was our year to win. Hopefully bbc and tap keep at it and we consistently place top5/10 and eventually we will win again this decade.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣oh love this lady lol shadyyyyy

LOL your mums laugh 😂

uk song deserved the win 😔

Sam Ryder is the best!!!! Дякую за підтримку України!!!!

I know Ukraine is in a war but it is a song contest for god's sake. There are other ways to support

Mom’s react to Azerbaijan made me laugh a lot God bless her 😂😂🫶🏻 we were so disappointed when he got 3 points from punlic in Azerbaijan 😀🇦🇿 he was so sad and it was heartbroken 💔 when they showed his face)

Si la situación en Ucrania no estuviera así, pues España como tercera ganadora del televoto, solo hubiese estado por detrás de Moldavia, hubiese ganado el festival, porque esos puntos se hubieran dividido entre Uk, España, Moldavia y hubiera beneficiado a España seguramente. Una pena. Tengo sensación agridulce. Quiero añadir ya en frío, que cuando ves a Chanel, ves una canción ganadora de este certamen y nadie se acordará de Stephania. Te queremos Chanel

Congrats UK and Ukraine, from Spain! 😁😁

Congratulations !!! Real winner is your Country!🇬🇧 Sam is "the best" (for me)..bye🇮🇹

I was so sure you were going to start the video with shouting we got points.

UK was my winner this year, but i love Ukrainian song as well

awsome UK and congrats to Ukraine!!.. very good and cool songs!!..we were expecting to see the UK winning as the song and show was perfect, and after so many years of bad and humiliating scores, and also because we wanted eurovision here on London next year!!

Every here and there I see something about Sam Ryder

Love to see what score each country had without the bogus EBU intervention. Ukraine would be ~72points lower (UK, Sweden, Spain, etc gave Ukraine 0 points, and so did other countries ..but EBU forced them (replaced their vote) to give Ukraine 12 points). Poland would be much higher, Sweden and UK a little lower, etc. But what I'd love more is for Eurovision to stop being a contest, and just a show where people can vote to express love for songs, without making a score / top out of it. At least people should stop taking the scores/rankings seriously (at least ignore the bogus jury score) and just enjoy the music. Its impossible for this show to be apolitical, even in the case of public voting. So.. lets return to the good old days when it was common knowledge that Eurovision voting is political, and enjoy the performances.

Last year Italy, this year UK - Georgians have taste.

Some of my more random thoughts I thought the uk commentary struck the right balance this year it was actually funny i lost it with the commentary of iceland comparing one of the systurs to princess beatrice The description of serbia he was trying not to be rude but i found it funny Could they have given damiano a chair seeing him in that much pain was uncomfortable Also didn’t need alessandros outline on display for everyone talking about apps Ngl i loved germany it hit more so deeply live i nearly cried

My Favs were. Norway - Finland Czech Republic Greece Armenia (I would put UK up top but you can't vote for your own Country) However Austria and Bulgaria were Robbed they were Amazing.

I was kinda expecting Ukraine to win Say hi momma trish from me ❤️

ARE ME AND TRISH THINKING THE SAME???? (About Belgium)

Olivia Newton John passed away!!! 😭😭😭

💙💛

Oh your mum makes me laugh 😃

11:00 😳🤯🤣🤣🤣
