We very well deserved the last place because it was such a boring song. radio-conform as they wished it to be. Electric Callboy wanted to go but they weren't radio conform enough.
There's some pure poetry about the fact that Russia's final entry for a very long time (potentially forever) is a tribute to Russian woman that the higher ups HATED.
Some countries get it, try hard and are consistently strong at Eurovision, like Serbia, Sweden and Ukraine for example. But I've even more respect for the ones who've never won, keep getting bad results yet keep participating. It's very disappointing when other countries like mine would instead throw temper tantrums and/or blame "financial difficulties" and won't participate. I would gladly see each and every country participate, even if some of the songs are crap by necessity.
My fav country at ESC is Romania. Tornero and Playing with Fire are my favorite of all time. I hope Romania wins soon. Even my country, Portugal, poorer than Romania atm, was able to held the contest. I also like Moldova very much, they were my winner this year!
@@athemoniatv7794 My favorite esc country is probably either Ukraine or Italy, but my all time favorite entry is Bosnia and Herzegovina's Bistra Voda, I hope they come back soon.
Fun Fact: Although Turkey's debut "Seninle Bir Dakika" was the last, it is still one of the most popular songs in Turkey. You can still hear that in nostaliga cafes or social media edits about love after 50 years :)
@@Enigma8999 you are reading way too much into this lol I was just saying that the country I grew up in changed so much in the past. Serbia was part of Yugoslavia and Belgrade was a capital city. About Serbia and Montenegro name itself implies that it's not just Serbia so chill out.
@@thalassophile_artist i mean the rest of former yugoslavia would disagree with you especially Croatia since they brought Yugoslavia's only win in Eurovision, thats also why they hosted in Zagreb and not Belgrade
I'll cry when Luxembourg returns. They had such strong winners back in the classic days (though Niamh is my favourite winner ever 🇮🇪). Please come back, Luxembourg 🇱🇺❤️
The problem is that they are to small to have candidates of theire own, theire candidates were just Stars from Germany, France and Belgium that sang for them, witch might have felt unrepresenting for the audience in Luxembourg.
Sunstroke Project and Zdob si Zdub should make a song together and represent Moldova next year. That would be an epic party. Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮
Fun fact: For Czech Republic, the worst result group is actually the only one of those three acts that is popular locally. I've never heard of Mikolas or We Are Domi before Eurovision, but my entire generation and the one before me grew up on Kabát. They are music icons and half the country knows the lyrics to that song (it is actually a pretty romantic one).
All of the oldest songs have great vocalists. It's interesting how it went from that to what it is today; where a good show can win, even if the song isn't the best.
[29:14] I hope we will be at Eurovision again soon! 💗 We miss you so much 🥺 Greetings and love from Türkiye! 🇹🇷 == 14.05.2023 update Loreen had won in 2012. The last time we participated was that year and we couldn't go to Sweden next year. Loreen won again this year, hopefully this time we can be in Sweden next year. I hope the unfinished story will continue 🫶🏻 == 28.05.2023 update Unfortunately, we will not be at Eurovision for the next 5 years..
Technically Yugoslavia's entry in 1992 is by a different country than the previous Yugoslavian entries. The state of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established just 2 weeks before the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest. And in 2003 the country changed names to Serbia and Montenegro. Pre-May-92 the name of the country was the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Or, one could say that the 1992 Yugoslavian entry is actually the debut entry of Serbia and Montenegro!
For Eurovision Song Contest participation, let's just stick with how it is on the official ESC website (history section). As far as the EBU is concerned, 1992 is Yugoslavia's last entry, and 2004 is Serbia & Montenegro's first entry. As for the transition from Federal Republic of Yugoslaiva to State Union of Serbia & Montenegro, there must surely have been more to it legally and politically than just a change of name.
@@nev7991 what do you mean? That was just my opinion that they should have gotten more points🥲 but sadly they didn’t. It’s not a critic to the creator.
I love the fact that my country started and finished the contest with songs about power of women that came 9th and were performed by minor nationality singers
İ'm from Azerbaijan that country Armenia and Azerbaijan hates each other even there is not access to visit bu snap was amazing i listened and liked would be at least top 5
@@annafiore1640 The official version of Snap is charting everywhere so your point makes no sense, but then again when you wanna find an excuse, you can BS anything.
I really loved follow your journey here in Norway and hope you liked it aswell. I actually learned a lot about places that are litterarly outside my window. I also enjoyed your trip into the silver mines in Kongsberg a lot since I have not been there since I was 14 and i'm 46 now. The shops is being closed in Norway as the Christian party doesn't want to have shops open on Sunday, but some places with lots of tourists can be open during the summer and sometimes easter. Some years ago the government came up with a compromiss to shops being closed and kiosk being open, and the woman who came up with the idea gave the Sunday open shops of 100 sqare meteres the nick name Brustad-bua. Bua means a little storage place and her name is Silvia Brustad. I don't think she is a politician anymore, but hef name is stuck to the Sunday side shops. Most people state that they don't go to the shop on Sunday, but this is not true as when I worked in one of them for three years it was always long ques from the time they opened to an hour before they closed and the Christian holdidays was the worst. We also had to switch to the little shop when the clock was 4 pm and people was angry as they didn't remember. The alcohol is also strictly regulated by the government and in grocery shops you can't buy beer and cider after 8pm on Monday-Friday and 6pm on Saturdays. No alcohol can be sold in gas stations or kiosks, but you could go to a bar or restaurant and get it, but it's very expencive and you would be forced to drink it inside or outside in a fenced in area. People in Norway is so used to this that we don't think about it, but everyone from other countries mention this as one of the weirdest things about Norway. Most museums and tourist attractions is open certain months of the year, mostly from May or June to August or September, sometimes October, but due to weather being heavy from mid October the people who watch these places don't want tourists to go there in the winter as some people are just stupid enough to wear t-shirt and shoes and shorts or jeans and freeze to death. You're from England and understand weather a little better than people from America or Germany and Japan. Most tourists is from these countries, but the recent years more people from other places come here too, but none of them seems to know anything about weather changing from summer to winter storm in 15 minutes. Some of the places you visited is near where I live, and I really want to go to the Stave church you visited and to Rjukan. Rjukan is just behind the mountain from where I live, so I could go there tomorrow if I wanted to, but I will have to go in the summer as it's just to cold and windy and rain and snow every other day).
"The idea for Eurovision was first proposed by Italian TV writer Sergio Pugliese, who worked for the country’s state broadcaster RAI in the early 1950s. Pugliese’s suggestion was picked up and approved by Marcel Bezencon, president of the European Broadcasting Union, in January 1955, who developed the concept with the body’s international members"
@@columbannon9134 and they invented it it was a swiss which brought it up and yes it was based on a italian tv show but still it was Switzerland who intvented it you can look it up on the internet
Wow what a time travel.. Love to see how it looks soooo different each decade. Biggest clash must be cyprus debut vs best XD.. wait, just saw Finland hehe I will never understand the voting in the ESC, some amazing songs get super low positions, and terrible terrible songs win (or get high positions) Also do you remember when everyone had to sing in their countries language? crazy And why was Morocco randomly in there one year?
- Ireland in the old days: The other countries: IRELAND IS IN DA HOUSE!!!! RUN FOR UR LIVES!!! HIDE UR POINTS!!! - Ireland nowadays: The other countries: Oh, cool, u there! How u're doin mate?
@@mmashkaaa I mean that you shut put the song which performed earlier. For example the first song performed in Eurovision was Vogels Van Holland and you put Vorgood Vorbij as the first Dutch entry

So yeah. The first song of The Netherlands was actually "Vogels van Holland". This is an important fact you got wrong, since it's the first song ever sang in Eurovision
Uknow Portugal waiting so many years to win was magical here and I hope that every country Will get that oppurtunity One in their lives cause if we could so can every other One :)
Strictly speaking, you should only list each country's FIRST song of the ESC 1956 as their first ever entry (that year only, each country had two songs). In the case of Switzerland, you should say Debut 1956 "Das alte Karussell" didn't win, Best 1956 "Refrain" 1st place.
