I've gotta say that this guy was the best act that graced the Eurovision stage last week! Benjamin Ingrosso absolutely killed it! Obsessed with this performance! ❤💯😃
Y yo........fue increíble....!!!!
I was pleasently surprissed by this. When they announced him I thought he was going to sing his Eurovision song, which I'm not really a fan of. But this whole performance blew my mind, this style definetely suits him and he pulled this so good it almost seemed like I was watching the concert of a celebrity with decades of experience. No wonder he's so big in Sweden, and still has a bright future ahead.
Same. I heard that he's performing and i thought "oh no, i didnt liked his esc song". But this performance was awesome.
Yes, I love his discography, but Dance You Off definitely doesn't do him justice
He had his debut on the swedish stage 2006. Almost two decades of experience!
That's absolute professionalism, what he showed here
He has just been touring Europe and he is amazing live. These new songs are so good. There are fantastic videos from Madrid!
I don't see a problem with Sweden promoting a Swedish artist when they host the competition. All hosts should highlight and show what their country has to offer
Give me this over Madonna, Justin Timberlake or Rita Ora cheap cover versions.
It's not even like he's a random Swedish artist, he represented Sweden at Eurovision before
Eurovision fans don’t probably get that, but out of all Swedish ESC-artists from the 2010s he’s had the best career in Sweden. He is one of the biggest artists in Sweden.
@@lilsaam Yeah, exactly. And even if he didn't do well on televote his song still became one of the most streamed ESC songs of that year
Exactly! That's one of the many reasons I found Italy's Eurovision hosting so disappointing. They had Mika, who has nothing to do with Italy, perform a medley of his songs and host the show?! On top of that, Maneskin didn't open the finale with their winning song, in fact they didn't perform it at all, the stage was surrounded by a loud waterfall and the camera work was terribly sloppy...
For those who does not know him. That man is so humble and so full of lust and love. He is grounded and not posh at all. Like best guy ever ❤
If he went to Eurovision with Honey Boy he would've won 100%
Hubiera sido una justa y verdadera victoria de Suecia. Habría sido su remontada, porque últimamente sólo han quedado bien por el jurado.
Delulu
contestants must be so relieved he's not actually competing this year.
I doubt It 💀💀
It was a boring act 😒
@@odysseasxg that's okay! we all have different preferences. hopefully you did enjoy some of the other performances :)
I had the same thought. I honestly hope he'll post a proper cover of "Who's laughing now". I just love it SO much and I don't like Jessie J nor Ava Max's version.
@@airachicaI read that it's his new single so should be on spotify soon!
Look at his face at the end of the performance- he has really put all his soul into this❤
He probably was quite eager for his grandparents to see the show; during the pandemic he had shows just for them in their kitchen as he couldn't have regular concerts due to the restrictions. His grandfather died two days after this performance so I really hope he was still lucid enough to enjoy the show.
At the same this was happening he lost his belowed granddad. @@swedishmeatball4382
You can see it in his eyes the whole performance. If I had something in my life I'd enjoy like he does this right there I'd be a happy person.
He developped SO well! He's like a Swedish Harry Styles now. Love the vibe in his songs and his delivery in the presentation. :)
He had an image shift I think... if you compare it to 3 years ago he is totally different + different music.
Yes he’s inspired by Harry 😅
This was awesome but as a huge Harry fan I can’t really compare these two 😅
@@ThereseDavidsonno he’s inspired by the 70s
@@ThereseDavidson No, he is inspired by Bee Gees and other artists of 70s.
the fact that he did not miss a single note. incredible voice, incredible songs, incredible visuals, obsessed.
It's called "pre-record" 👌🏼
It's called "Per-fection" 🎉
@@user-jq5rs6cr8o Well the chorus was, but as all songs in Eurovision he sang live.
Not sure I have the words for how unbelievable this performance was...
For everyone saying Benjamin is influenced by Harry… Benjamin released his first song in 2015 and Harry became a solo artist in 2017. And Benjamin has been in the entertainment industry since he was a little child. He is very talented and at least here in Sweden he’s well known 🤩
This was probably the best interval act this year. Full of energy. You could tell he was having the time of his life. Well done SVT
As a Swede, I’m SO HAPPY that Europe finally gets to see THIS side of Benjamin. He’s our biggest glowing star❤️
He's insane. If he competed for Sweden he would definitely get my points. Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Hej he actually seems like a really nice guy, extremly multitalented, has a tv show where he cooks and sing. Nice to see that many apreciate his performance.
For me, this was one of the best part sof Eurovision. I love it very much and added it to my playlist. You can't not dance to this🎉
First time I met Benjamin Ingrosso in Finnish podcast talking with two Finnish girls. He seemed to be a lovely person. ❤
This is absolutely the best performance ever. It has dance, song, rhythm, energy and joy. Exactly everything that Eurovision should stand for. So well done Benjamin!
Benjamin got Abbafied 🤩
What a PERFORMANCE, this man is a born showman and deserves to be a global household name
He REALLY was born a showman, his mother Pernilla Wahlgren a famous musical artist in Sweden and his father and uncle dancers. His grandmother a famous actress in Sweden, his cousin being part of Swedish House Mafia, his god mother being Charlotte Perelli etc etc.
And Diodato as relative
Benjamin aged like fine wine, physically and musically! 👌
He’s still very very young.
He's only 27 years old
@@Eminialettano he’s 26, he’s turning 27 in September
@Eminialetta ohhh he looks WAY older than 26!
I live for this new era of Benjamin. He is like a mixture of Harry Styles and ABBA and I looooove it
The fact that he opened with an unreleased song and still got the arena (and viewers at home) so pumped… this dude is 🔥🔥
Unashamed to say I am continuing to contribute a sizeable amount these views…just stunning. Not often a live vocal is better than a recorded version of a song but that last song…mind blowingly brilliant. Benjamin, have a beer my friend, that’s some work you put in and it paid off in SPADES! Right, and repeat a few more times I think
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how AMAZING the lighting design is this year? Last year was great, but I am simply blown away by this year's lighting. By the looks of it, this year could be one of the best we have had in a while. Amazing work from the whole team who put this show together really pays off. Well done!!!
In my opinion, the best stage and lightning in ESC history. Also so cool with the green room one level up behind the screen.
Sweden can into Eurovision, and it's a well-known fact
Fredrik Stormby, the Light and Screen Content Designer, also did the light design for Loreen's stage show for "Tattoo" last year and Eurovision 2016. He's also worked with Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour, ASAP Rocky, and ABBA Voyage.
Tbh, I didn't get to watch the first semi-final at first, only half the second semi-final and the grand finale. I didn't like the stage design that much and we didn't have any big soudn & light show as the ones we got in 2016 with the whole flag parade or in 2023 with the 40s light show right before the parade. So this year's initially didn't get me. However, I've completely changed my mind now that I've seen this performance. We can see the stage used to its full potential and YES, the stage lightning is actually mind blowing. I just wished they would have used it more during the Grand Finale, the potential of it was incredible.
I think I enjoyed both interval acts from the two semi-finals more than the final's.
I rewatch this for like idk 6-7 times since his perfomance in the first semi final interval act. I will never get bored on watching this live perfomance 😭😭😭
Same
this man knows how to put up a SHOW! 🔥 got me dancing in the living room, what an icon! if you’re able, I highly recommend going to his concerts, cus his energy is unmatched
When I heard his name I was like "mmm yeah, I guess I remember him" When I saw the screen intro I was like "maybe that's too much for him" When he performed I was like "wow what happened to him?!?" That was great 👌
had to look him up again for his entry 5 years ago...same thoughts
The most standout performance of 2024. Absolutely huge, from start to finish. Sad he's not competing.
It's amazing to see how much he has grown as an artist over the years! He deserves all the recognition
This performance is the best part of Eurovision 2024 for sure 🇺🇦🤝🇸🇪
WOW. The last song is actually the best thing ive seen in a while, period.🎉
Very impressed by his performance.....He did it soooo faar better than when he compited. Sassy, confident...I loved him!
His performance in 2018 didnt stuck with me, because I forgot.. the song was boring. He had a image shift.
@@mops6685 During covid he stopped writing songs in English and released some songs in Swedish that were more old-school melodic pop. And now when he's back to writing in English he has stuck to that style. Me personllly like it a lot.
I wonder how many new fans he got after this performace?
Def me
@@lottezondag And me!
I am definitely not watching this for the approximately 50th time since Tuesday
Same 😂
I love how happy he is looking while performing, he is sooo born to do this whole his life!😊❤
Well yes, literally - having been born in the family that he did, I don't think he had a choice but to become this gorgeous performer :D.
@@FrostAndTheForest True, I saw on Wikipedia that he did theatre and other performances since very young age, from childhood basically. He evolved so much through years, no wonder that he became such a successful artist like this, because he works hard whole his life, even though he has nice, kind of artistic family background, too.😊
One of the best medleys i’ve seen in a long time! Big up Benjamin🔥🙌 If he competed with one of these songs.. he would win🤷♂️
My Dear Mother,who sadly passed away this spring,loved Benjamin. 87 years old as she was she thought the world of this young man. Well she wanted him to wash his hair but on the other hand " He does look like Jesus!" I can only imagine how much she would have love this performance. My hat goes of,Bravo!
❤
Brilliant! Love from Ireland! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
hahhah your comment made my day! she sounds like an amazing and loving person
❤
Love to you and so sorry for your loss. Just enjoy and know she would love it.
I wish the first song Look Who’s Laughing Now was also on spotify
I think you can pre-save when it’s gonna be released. It will be available at the end of may I think.
@@erikondrumsi hope so
Obsessed with the strut at 1.44.
I should be listening non-stop to the competing songs this year. Instead it's Benjamin's songs now playing on repeat. Can I please vote for this?
Real
what a charisma this guy has!!! wow!!! i didnt remember him at all from the eurovision 2018 but damn he made an impression now. i've been obsessed with the last song the whole day after this performance and will probably play it all through summer :D AMAZING, what a perfect show-man right here 👏👏
This interval act has so much sense, as Benjamin was also participating at Eurovision, he's not just a random pop star that doesn't give a f*ck about Eurovision, I wish we could see more performances like this 😍
What a vibe !!!!!!!
What a shock, what a surprise! All I remember from the First Semi-final is Benjamin Ingrosso! I am a fan now!
This was so fucking hype to witness in the arena- Not to mention man aged like fine wine- HE IS SO DARN ATTRACTIVE
this performance is FIREEEEE
Haven't seen this man in 6 years and now I cannot stop listening to his songs
By far the best interval act this year!
I really had to double check if there is no mistake in who I thought he was. How much he has changed in 5 years! So much talent! Wow!
I didn’t even recognise him at first, what a glow-up 😮 Great performance as well!
Having not kept up with him post-ESC 2018, I didn't realize how much he's changed and grown into his whole style! What a surprisingly great performance that kept a nostalgic smile on my face the whole time; almost felt like a redemption arc for him on the Eurovision stage (regardless of the fact his career doesn't sound like it needed it)
Oh yessss! Finally he gets the international recognition he deserves. 🫰🏼🥹 He really slaaaaaayed - love the performance. ❤️🩹
He has come a long way from being the boy whom nobody voted for... And I say that with love, I liked him already back then - but now he has reached a whole other level!! This was just overall gorgeous!
Nobody voted for? He ended up as number 7 in Eurovision.
@@greatlife9638 He got 21 points from the audience :). It was the 4th last entry in televoting. He was 7th because the jury gave him 253 points. But doesn't matter, I loved his performance already then and he took the result with humor.
@@FrostAndTheForest Ok, I understand.
I love this medley! Glad to see Benjamin being that successful in Sweden! Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸❤️🇸🇪
Guys I think I’m in love 🥹💙
The highlight of the night !!
Lighting design team: “let’s show the world how a rig should be used!”
His songs are FIRE!
An example of a great singer knowing exactly how their voice works and what it can do….perfect range for every song = note perfect performance allowing him to have loads of fun with the choreography. He knows exactly what he’s doing! Good man!
He has such an energy on stage that all his performances are so fun to watch!
I swear the live version sounds BETTER than the studio!! amazing
Great showman who's able to hold a tune despite the high energy performance and dancing. Such catchy songs :)
Imho the most epic act of this year edition of Eurovision! 🤩
the best
This is so much better then the song he sang as a contestant back then! With this performance he could have won... ✨💛
He was only a young boy at that time. And he grown so much since then. He have so many good songs. Our family’s favorite artis at the moment. Sing so many songs that make you happy
this was leagues better than any other performance that night 😅 i wasn’t a super fan of his song in 2018 but i’ll definitely be following him now!! an incredible talent
He was brilliant and really commanded the crowd. Best performance of the night by far!
"Look Who's Laughing Now" is such an appropriate sentence to sing while blinding Europe with his music glow up. I've had "Honey Boy" on repeat since yesterday. The vibes from 5:05 to the end were immaculate! ✨
Such a high energy performance! 🌟 I've lost count of how many times I've watched and listened to this. So entertaining!
So...professional. At that age in front om 150 million viewers. Not a fan of B but this is outstanding!
When Benjamin entered the stage the show started. 🤩 This performance is perfection. He’s a divine force of nature and a brilliant songwriter. ❤️
I need a studio recording of this medley cause I’m OBCESSED 🥲
DAMN ?? THIS WAS AMAZING! I didn't recognise him at all ! HE IMPROVED SO MUCH! He became so charismatic and handsome ^^ And "Honey Boy" is such a catchy song ♡ Gonna replay this performance for sure ^^
Incredible performance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Was not expecting this at all, to be honest. Enjoyed it to the fullest!
genuinely fun and good music, and electric live performances still exist!! 🎉 what an absolute SUPERSTAR 😍
What a phenomenal performance - had to watch it again. True superstar quality. Reminded me of Robbie Williams’ ability to hold an audience 👏
He was the BEST tonight.
for sure!
Benjamin is levitating way above this event, both in terms of quality and artistry imho. A true entertainer making his presence known to the world. A star in the making! Nile Rodgers is a tribute to his new level. And the young Björn Borg look is another (unexpected) tribute to his Swedish roots :-)
This guy is a rock star!
I can't stop playing this! 👏❤️😃
he deserves the world. what a great performer!
You are Fantastic Benjamin Ingrosso! You nailed it! 💛🧡💜❤💚💙 Best perfomance tonight!
He is a SUPERSTAR!
Looking sharp - like the 4th member of The Bee Gees and the music moves in a similar way with a modern twist. Love it!
He deserved much better back then, people at that time were just extremely blind and jealous of Swedish success at Eurovision. I was so impressed by him in 2018, he had the most stylish performance and staging was just mind blowing, which made me a fan, so now when I’ve walked this long path with him I’m so proud ❤ Who’s laughing now, Benji?🤩❤
I am 100% with you, girl, whole comment on point! I have never understood why people hated and bullied him THAT much without any valid reason back then, he is just human like all of us, after all, he deserved better. His song was my favorite in 2018 also.
And small minded people still keep bullying him. It says more about them self than about him
Omg I'm also huge fan of him! Watching him developing since in the Eurovision 2018 until now, is just somehow so magical and impeccable! I love his music and I love the way he presents his taste of music as well as his fashion style. So damn cool!
Imo his 2018 performance wasn't that great, but his later stuff is phenomenal. This performance is the best part of this year's Eurovision for me.
I will watch this probably everyday for the rest of my life.
What a brilliant set, I must of played it 50 times! How can you not be happy and smiling when you see this, I hope he tours England, I didn't realise who it was from 2018, he looks so different with longer hair and a beard, I am defiantly a fan now, I have just created a Benjamin playlist on Alexa 😂😂. 🇭🇷Croatia to win, I've not wavered since the first time I heard it, I think Croatia Italy Ukraine Switzerland they are my top 4. 💙.
I think Eurovision for this year ended here. Benjamin was just magical ❤️🔥
I love Benjamin!!!!!!! So proud. He is just soooooo wonderful and magic!!!!!!!!
This was so incredibly good! I’m shookt! He ate! Literally so impressed! I had goosebumps!! What a showman!
The years are going well for him. The summary he wrote on his Instagram profile really sums it up and deserves it He's like a VIKING prince!
ive been following this dude since 2018 eurovision and i just love him and his music, and i've even followed the songs he's written for other artists. kite has been on repeat since it came out and ive had tand alla ljus on repeat since 2020. he's truly a king of pop and im so glad he's back on the eurovision stage. best of luck to him with his better days tour (i cant go TT) and we can't wait to see him represent sweden again in the future
I didn't remember him from before... I am obsessed now!!! Especially KITE!
Benjamin du var absolut det bästa med hela Eurovision! Vilken stjärna du är, du har hela paketet 👌🥰👌❤ Sweden has the best artist 🇸🇪😍
He changed so much since the perfomance in Eurovision. But i liked his perfomance. Benjamin did a good job. Well done!
A Performance that will never be forgotten in Eurovision History!
The best of eurovision 2024
This dude had such a glow-up! 😍 He was good looking before, but now... wow 😍
Best interval act in 2024.
