@@YasashiSubarashi-Chan He's talking about EU, the European Union, not the countries itself. He is wrong tho, EU and American federations are completely different lol
@@joshmiller9783 Is that what they teach in history classes in America? You really miss out on actual history, buddy. Btw history of both Europe and European Union is very interesting, try educating yourself.
@@baddnurse5443 probably the south as they tend to have more common rural communities with worse education but generally americans dont have the best public education system and your comment proves it:D
@@baddnurse5443 All of them but more specifically LA and Florida, the more sensationalised areas tend to be worse Edit: I know these are states, not countries, I just want to mention the US specifically as some people there are very ignorant and misinformed. It happens everywhere but Americans tend to be worse for some reason💀
i had no idea about this competition until my Greek Australian grandmother excitedly called us to say Australia was now part of Eurovision in 2016. i watch it every year and it helped me learn geography that i was too ignorant to learn
To be fair: my public school was fine and we had to learn all European countries and their capitals, but that was back in the 70s/80s. I didn’t care to learn the new ones in the 90s, so ESC was helpful for me, too. At least I know now a bit about Moldovia 😎
i’m an american who for some reason randomly kept up with eurovision in 2021 after i had casually known about it, that’s how i discovered måneskin and became a big fan 🙌🏽 now every year i keep myself updated with the song contest and watch all the amazing performers
In middle school, the entire sax section stood up, put on aviators, and did the epic sax guy bit. On April fools, in the middle of rehearsal. It was glorious
Ngl, but it is funny how confused people get when I tell them I have songs from Eurovision and play these and they're like, "Naw these are from us... right?... RIGHT?!" like naw fam, did the eurobeats, other languages, and accents not give it away? 😅
@@nebelland8355 most people would probably recognize zitti e buoni and waterloo, some may recognize epic sax guy, the rest never really caught on in the US except for arcade
I’m American and I recognize all of them and knew about Eurovision beforehand but many Americans don’t know what it is. I personally recognized Waterloo from MaMa Mia
Do you mean the US? Eurovision literally has over 200 million viewers worldwide every night, are they not the world? It’s literally just the US that are late to the party.
My shock when I discovered ABBA really started their career with Eurovision was slightly less than my shock at how this show has literally been going on longer than my parents have been alive.
There was an American Song Contest a few years ago, but not many US Americans seem to have watched it and it was cancelled ... and frankly, it wasn’t very good either.
You HAVE to mention Ooh Aah...Just a Little Bit by Gina G., the UK's entry in the '90s. Became a huge dance hit in the U.S. I had no idea it was a Eurovision song until a few years ago!
More accurate title: “songs Americans don’t know and Waterloo by ABBA” Edit: I’m aware I live under a rock. I like music from the 50s-70s and European classical (particularly the early Romantic Era). I don’t listen to much else
As an American, I don't know half these songs 😭 I only know Waterloo and Moldova. I know Toy by Netta but only bc i found out about Eurovision. I only know Tattoo bc Sheldon Riley sang it on America's Got Talent, but if he didn't then i wouldn't know it

Well, I'm pretty sure most people in America ( the continent ) don't watch a European contest...but Waterloo should be common knowledge, ABBA is one of the biggest groups of all time!!!
@@pajamaparty01 Won't blame them honestly, my mom grew up with ABBA in the 70s but didn't know what Eurovision was until I showed her their performance on RU-vid (we're Brazilian btw)
Actually, Eurovision has a big fanbase in Latinamerica, since we have TV channels from Spain on Cable and Satelite TV. I'm Venezuelan and at my house, we watch Eurovision every year. We love it!
Canadian here with a lot of European friends, I got my Canadian friends to listen to a couple entries this year and and I was met with “what the hell? Why do you watch this?” But as soon as I say “hey you wanna know what song is from Eurovision that you like?” And start playing fairytale, or snap, or literally any Eurovision song that went viral and I get “😧THATS EUROVISION??” 😂😂
Fairytale will always be legendary in my books. I used to play the violin from 3rd-9th grade. I’m American and know about EuroVision. I watch a lot of things and love their creative music and performances, and etc.
Maybe, you heard "Beggin" "IWBS", Supermodel, "Gossip" by Måneskin? It was very popular... You can't hear, see that performance 🇮🇹🏆🔥, it's blocked in USA. ( there is in fan clubs 🤟🏼)
You forgot to add Sound of Silence by Dami Im, which was Australia's contestant in 2016. That song got us the closest we have gotten to winning (2nd) since we started competing back 2015.
@@approx4ft you mean you already adapted Pop Idol from Britain (as did many other countries). Which does not even have the same premise as Eurovision.
I’m American and I’ve never heard Tattoo just about anywhere. I’ve only ever heard it in Eurovision related contexts and America has almost none of those
Lol, I don’t think anyone gives a shit about “Eurovision” besides Europeans. I really couldn’t care, the only song I know from this list was the Epic Sax song, and I only knew about it from some goofy old meme.
