"He doesn't stand out to the rest" - person who has clearly never seen Eurovision before.
You know, he probably saw just a few seconds of Salvador's performance and he's American: they love fireworks and everything what's noisy and loud. Salvador said it exactly in his speech. His music is for people who actually understand music.
Nikola Bajzová it was literally so beautiful to watch (I watch Eurovision every year from the uk) and I was so happy it won.
Omg I just made it 11k🥳🥳
@@MissSlovakia2 true
Ilr he made me so frustrated, like Portugal was so good
"Many want to see the US in the competition" said no european ever
linn R Exactly!!!!!!!!!
linn R very true
linn R It would be funny though to see them lose.
He probably means many Americans want that.
If US was in eurovision they would always lose
Why do Americans keep thinking that Eurovision is some kind of low budget competition? We might have "crazy" songs but the shows are always top notch😂
I know right! Some countries don’t even wanna win because of the expenses
literally no one here gets it i’d much rather spend my days watching Eurovision instead of like the voice bc they are in touch with culture and do more upbeat pop songs that obviously some people in this video prefer but it’s better there
@Tesla-Effect I’m not sure what us not using the metric system is supposed to tell you about Americans but ok...
No one thinks that
This!!
"It's a vocal competition" Nope, no dude, it's a song contest, that includes instruments bro.
YES OMG. hearing that frustrated me so much...
Live instruments are banned from the contest since 1998. They're actually not playing anything.
@@asterfield02 I thought Lordi refused to not perform live though.
I LOLed when he said that..so dumb hahah
Yeah right, and Sweden was so good 2017 (yeah, I´m answering to a 3 years old comment)
"It's a vocal competition, not a flashy one" you can really tell they're new to Eurovision
MsAmirilaHigh true
MsAmirilaHigh true
Hahaha so true XD
Måns Ericsson n
No, you are... Eurovision's roots have nothing to do with useless gimmicks such as backup dancers or special effects and more to do with what Salvador has done.
You know they've never watched Eurovision when they say that singing a ballad with nothing else isn't different, because trust me, that was the most unique performance that night.
Olivia Seidler ikr
Americans will never understand Europe's inside joke of Eurovision 😂
Lol, I'm not american, but what is it??
:D the comical zoom ins and the silly additions to the music. It's just a huge way to make a joke of another country or doing it to themselves. Some performances make you go wtf 😅😅
@@katiee3975 like Israel in 2018. W.T.F
lol
well maybe cause America isn't in Europe? Dumb asf
lol americans thinking eurovision is a competition about vocals
We really don't I don't know why that guy said that
It's the song and politics
@@volfgang1393 Unless you pretend to be woman but having a beard. Then your skills and song doesn't matter anymore you will win anyways.
Tom Holland are you nuts? His preformance and vocals were really good
@@volfgang1393 compared to others who participated it was not that good. He had a decent voice but not good enough for a top 10 place.
Dear US, just stay out of Eurovision. Don't force yourself into this one
Eva Fiskeman I agree
When they don't even want to??? Lol
I'm from africa and I agree, but it'd be funny to see them LOSE every time though, if they were on. Lol.
We don't want to participate, trust, me Eurovision is crap, very political. If the UK always gets last place, imagine the US.
2021 there will be the American Song Contest....
"It's a vocal competition" HAHAHAHAHA he has no idea
Exactly
I was about to say that! It’s a song competition!
Chill
maybe you should express yourself more respectful
we all start so innocent
I don't think any Eurovision fan wants the US in Eurovision.......who ever said we do?
Sinéad Simpson totally agree
Can confirm as an American eurofan
Factz
yeah
I would be happy to watch an American Song Contest though, but you can't have all countries participate in Eurovision or it would stop beeing a European Song contest. If it is just Australia, fine, but I don't know where to draw the line. I loved Kali though, a guy from Martinique that represented France once.
The biggest problem with this video is that you never really told them what the focus of eurovision is on. They practically all went into this thinking the focus is on vocals, when in actual, eurovision is about creativity and presentation, and each European country representing their love for music on one platform.
And thats why Portugal wins ;)
With other words. Eurovision is an art competition but instead of paintings it is music. :) (Sweden here)
100% They also didn't explain that these are not unknown people like in the US - comparing it to The Voice or whatever is not accurate - like they're not huge artists either necessarily but they are people who were creating original music and making a career out of it prior to performing! Of course they're not going to do covers.
Basically: it's not a vocal competition. It's a SONG competition
its not a VOCAL competition its a SONG competition....its literally called Eurovision SONG contest its about the best song
RIGHT?
RIGHT!
Though it feels like a Eurovision SHOW Festival sometimes I freaking absolutely love the living swearword out of it, not going to lie.
What's the point of performing live then? Of course the performance and the vocal skill sway the voting. At least the popular one, the pro judges probably do consider the songs on their own. If you don't think that those don't make a difference, you really haven't been following the contest.
Lol they probably thought that it's the voice
Anyone saying that the song from Sweden stood out from the rest has no clue about Eurovision.
Paulz It's not really an opinion situation. More like facts that the song sounds like every other song in the competition and also out of it.
@@Mielija im half swedish and i agree honestly
Pretty boring yeah
If I’m gonna be honest Sweden,s songs in 2016, 2017 and 2018 was really bad.
music wise swedens song didnt stand out but the staging definetly did
I'm sad that no one recognized the return of the man, the myth, the legend: Epic Sax Guy (Moldova)
moldova didnt deserve to be in final
Back to Intervision with you Vladimir!
I know. I knew straight away, even though I did not watch this years eurovision.
Agree
Epic sax guy fuck yeah
They said the Portuguese one did not stand out, but he actually stood out because he did something totally different
Umm and what different thing did he do exactly?
@@meygang.4748 1. He sang in portuguese and not in english. 2. He had calm song where there was nothing on stage but him just singing, usually the songs tend to be pop-y and the stagery very extra. These are the things that I think stood out about his performance😁
@@meygang.4748 Top 5 was all in English except for him and he also won.
Meygan G. Also to add even one more point, usually people just try to give a dance or something over the top and he focused on the love song and the singing. Eurovision is just people trying too hard
@@boinkboink8448 many countries sing in their language and there are alot of calm and quiet songs out there in the competition, for me it was the worst song that EVER performed at eurovision I was bored to death
Eurovision is NOT a vocal competition. It's not The Voice! it's the furthest thing away from the Voice you can get while still being a music competition.
jaceaguar haha I voted for the yodelling too!
I was correcting him every time he called it a vocal competition.. Like no.. A great voice is not a requirement
Its a political competition
Exactly, that guys comment made me laugh so hard. That's when you know that someone doesn't like Eurovision.
They're free to have their opinion but saying that Portugal doesn't stand out from the rest is bullshit. Portugal was one of the only countries that sang in their own language
Really True
Exactly! Also, I think you need to have seen a few ESCs to understand that those pretty ballads get boring if there's 20 of them in a row, so they're not immediate wins. Portugal's stood out because it was different compared to the typical Eurovision ballad.
As a natural born and raised Portuguese I thank you for your kind words after the shit they just talked about Salvador Sobral, our singer. Thank you so much.
@@pedrocaravela7665 Same
Portugal CARALHO!!!
These guys have obviously never seen the epic sax guy perform in Eurovision 2010
yes I was going to say that
The dude doesn't understand that portugals performance was unique, it was something new in the contest.
Vojin Tres true, but in a contemporary context it's new, and the nostalgia of it did the trick.
The audacity they had to speak during the performance
If you don't understand how Portugal stood out, then you don't really get Eurovision.
Emzybobs a lot of song stood out like Croatia and the Netherlands etc. vocally and lyrically
PunkEnergy88 not really, many countries adopted english language to sing their songs, which is pathetic, my respect goes to the countries singing their native languages, the rest was garbage.
I'm looking more for vocal range and the meaning of the lyrics
@@PunkEnergy88 and that was clearly what make Portugal win
Emzybobs actually it’s been a long time I watch Eurovision and the thing is I love the song of Portugal I mean it’s a really good song but not for eurovision in my opinion
"He doesn't stand out from the rest!" He actually did, because almost all of the other songs were Europop sung in English :')
All of them are pop. Performers who get there make it because of the popularity of their music. Ergo, you won't find actual innovation there (that would mean taking a risk that usually doesn't pay off)
snake698 Considering the fact that the winning song was Jazz; I disagree.
Kae I swear it was more of a love ballad more than jazz. I'd say more classical
No. The U.S. should not be in Eurovision. There is a reason why it's called Eurovision.
Yeah, cos Israel, Armenia and Australia are so very European... :)
But Australia was competing.
Marjo Naylor all the countries in the EBU can compete. Australia was invited to compete as a guest because the contest is so popular and then they decided to let them be a part of it every time so long as they qualify. because everyone loves the Australians.
I think it would be ok if a tiny bit of eurasia joined like armenia and Israël
Also why is Kazakhstan in jesc? Like was this just Daneliya or what?
Hilarious how none of these Americans even know the format of Eurovision. It's not just a vocal contest; it's based on presentation, creativity, song, music, and vocals.
When some of these people can't appreciate passion and a great voice....
As I guessed, the Americans don't get it.
Buzzkill
Well yea i dont live in europe
The things that ticked me off the most were "it's a vocal competition" (no it's not, it's a song performance competition where people perform the entirety of a song) and "here people just do covers, they're making their original songs!" (in stuff like The Voice and Got Talent, there are random people performing, here there are professional artists, did no one tell her?)
Well yeah no one in America knows what it is because most of us had never seen it or even heard of it. Also in America we have no competitions like this, we only have the voice and American idol which is completely different. But I would love to learn about it. Can you explain it to me?
@@zoemorin1623 each year, the participating countries will send a representative with an original song. Either they select them internally or they hold a national final where the country votes for who they want. There’s two semi finals where the countries are split in half and have to compete for a place in the final, and 10 countries from each will move on. There is a “big 5” which consists of the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy who automatically qualify for the final each year and the hosting country also qualifies straight away. The voting system is quite complicated but it’s split 50/50 between a professional jury from each country and public votes, and the winner doesn’t even have to win either of those votes to get the most points. The winning country hosts the next competition, so this year is in the Netherlands. I’m pretty sure they live stream the show on KZhead so if you wanna watch it in May then you can, there’s a very strong line up this year :)
As a European this video is very funny to me
Bine same
I was thinking exactly the same
Lol same
same for me
ya, same, lolol 😂😂
U.S should NOT be allowed to participate in Eurovision, it definitely would destroy the contest.
no cus they would come like 30th xD
Jacksepticeye Is BAE Well no because it's called Eurovision for a reason
The U.S is not a part of Europe...
Jacksepticeye Is BAE that's the point fuckass
If US participates I WILL NEVER WATCH IT AGAIN
3:29 "this is a vocal competition" I thought it was a song contest, dude
HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW THE EPIC SAX GUY?!?! lol
I feel like most of these Americans are totally missing the point. Maybe it wasn't explained well enough. It's not a singing competition like American Idol or whatever, all the performers are already established singers in their countries. This is a SONG competition, which is why the songs are all original, that's not just some quirky gimmick. Oh and the music is not written by the performers (well, sometimes, but it's not the rule). It's not some scramble for fame and glory. The original idea was to unite Europe in a cultural exchange in the form of friendly competition to bring the countries closer again after WWII.
this needs to be top comment
yes
Couldn't agree more, but how should they know when nobody tells them. tbh, it's not that obvious on the first sight
Many of the singers aren't established already, like Germany, we always take some unknown ones, and it works well sometimes, but most of the time they get 0 points lol
@@haisheauspforte1632 Lol jendrik deserved to be in top 7!
"he didn't stand out" It's not about standing out! It's about the actual talent!
Coplanm Exactly!!
He stood up cause his song was the most beautiful, his voice was the most unique and touching and it was different since it was all about the song, the singer and the feelings. Eurovision yes was always about fireworks. He stood up since he was a class act.
Eurovision is not that much about the talent.. But this guy was just amazing and everyone loved him. In Eurovision you don't really get to see songs like his so it was really nice.
the orange tshirt guy is so basic help he knows nothing about music, i bet he only listens to top40
Hades 💀💀💀💀
Hades so true
i was thinking the same
Typical American probably lol
literally
'I was not expecting to see a horse mask at Eurovision.' ... You know nothing

Katie Sutton-Wilson *cough cough*singing*and a man in a hamster wheel
The portuguese singer had a beautiful voice and the tempo of his song was slow and romantic. A Lot of the songs were fast, loud and powerful, but the intimacy of his song truly stood out from the others. It touched the audience on a personal level.
The audacity they had to speak during the performance
Exactly. It's not made to be flashy and full of colour. It's Portugal culture
@@luanunes14 u are 100% right
I'm american and I thought he was the best I didn't understand it but I could feel the music was romantic ^^
im portuguese, and im really proud we won that, but c'mon no one recognized epic sax guy???
KAKAS da ordem The song broke most points won by a song
None of them recognized Epic Sax Guy :( It's Epic Sax Guy!!
muraalia its ultra sax guy
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. It's still him.
the guy in the orange t shirt doesn't understand nothing
I agree
He's the worst
How can he say that the guy from Portugal was the worst? He sang beautifully and the performance was very touching. Jeez, some people would never understand.
@@justamop9395 pretty sure he'd be all over Salvador Sobral if it wasn't Eurovision, but some kind of snobbish festival. It's THIS kind of person.
That orange dressed guy has no taste
I agree
Yeah. Nothing was good for him. Irritating dude.
Exactly
He's full of salt
I appreciate how honest he is in his reaction.
Portugal did stand out to the rest, He was the only one without a really pop type song, It was a beautiful song
It was the worst song out of all, common........
@@georgigenurov2423 yeah was the most pure song of them all, if you Can't understand that, you Don't understand nothing about music
and no special effects.. and a little stage, instead of the big one..
@@georgigenurov2423 Tell us you don't know shit about music without telling us you don't kno shit about music:
@@georgigenurov2423 yeah, u dont know nothing about music
as a european I say no. I don't want USA to participate. Nothing personal. I don't want as well Australia who participates right now.
I don't want greece to be in it
And why?
@@michaelrowley5871 The word Europe literally came from Greek mythology.
I agree, Australia should not be in it. Neither should Turkey.
MV turkeys in Europe though
people like the guy in with the Orange shirt are the reason why musicians do crappy music nowadays.
I can't stop laughing about the guy who keeps saying 'it's a vocal competition'. Oh baby, no...
No way. US should stay out of our contest. It is a family moment in which all of the Europeans get together and we do not want this to change...
Αναστάσης I'm American and I 100% agree with you
They don't get the point of Eurovision 😂 it's not a vocal competition dude, it's about the song; both production, performance, stage show and singing. Stage show is such a huge part of it though honestly. But the essence is the quality of the song. Not just the catchiest, most upbeat, radio friendly, which is what I think Americans don't get. These songs do get played on radios yes, but that's not why they're chosen. They're chosen for being good and well made. The guy who kept talking about vocals though, it made me laugh because he was too hung up on "olympics of singing". No mate, it's not the olympics of anything, it's a competition made to unite a continent around something creative and beautiful. ☺️
Amen XD You're the MVP
A few facts that were wrong or not mentioned: * It's the biggest show in the world with more than 200 million viewers * It's called Eurovision Song Contest, not just Eurovision * It's not a show about who has the best voice, but the best performance * It's also huge in Australia, which is why they've been a contestant since 2015. They will of course never host the competition though * This was Portugals 49th attempt at winning and their first win. * No offense, but we don't want the US in the competition ;) Yes, I'm a bit of a nerd :)
I love this, I love you mentioned a lot. And yeah US please stay out of Eurovision Song Contest
Johan Ruda US, please, do NOT enter on the Eurovision, we beg :'3
Like Europeans don't really want Australia in EUROvision, no offense also.. unless the country moves in the Atlantic or something lmao?
I actually like Australia in Eurovision, I mean they are not 'merican's. But that is just my opinion
PinguinVictor Yeah, Australia brings so much quality to the contest, so I actually think they deserve more to participate than UK. (even though I actually loved UK this year, but that was mostly because of the way Lucie made her song come alive with the beautiful staging and fantastic performance.)
"This is a singing competition" boy I don't think you understand what eurovision is about 😂
Yachi Jassi wot
I really wish someone on the staff had corrected him.
Yachi Jassi so what is it all about
Wonderland Daphne. It's not a vocal competition like The Voice or something, it's a song contest! The melody, lyrics, staging, and choreography are all important aspects, as the performance as a whole is judged. The winner this year didn't have the best vocals of all the participants but charmed the viewers with a great stage presence and an emotional song. Cheers from Sweden! :)
yes what he/she said^ the reason why I loved the winner so much was because he stood out from the crowd because he had no "show" at all. it was just him and his beautiful song
The Portuguese guy won because he was able to pass the feeling of the music only using the Melody, the lyrics were just an "ornament" on top of it. Few artists and songs can create this effect.
orionrei music is feeling!
A lot of them saying that Portugal had no "flair" but what made Portugal song stand out to win was the simplicity of both the song and the performance, as Salvador said in his speach "we live in a society with fast food music" and "music is feeling not fireworks" and in a way he is right
"this is a vocal competition" obviously never seen Eurovision before😂
Ahahahahah right? xD
Leanne Nicholl yeah but still I think that bulgaria shuld have won (I'm not from bulgaria)
As a huge Eurovision fan, it is encouraging to see Americans say 'let's just let them have it' 😘😘 Thanks guys! Haha
The guy with the orange t-shirt is pissin me off. He didnt like anyone
he liked the second one. did you even watch it?
Danny Milenova he gave the 2nd guy and legendary sax guy a high point
And he also liked the Netherlands
and also enjoyed yodel it, which is my personal 3rd favourite from eurovision this year
The fact that he said Portugal was the worst one made me have an urge to slam him with a chair 20 times in a roll -a Brazilian
The day US participates in esc is the day the song contest dies.
If they participate once, it would be fine. Nobody would vote for them anyway. I'm all in favour of letting a different non-European country be invited to participate each year.
@Tesla-Effect why not? What do you have against Americans?
"this is a vocal competition" oh honey
Paula Jokilehto litle they know
right it's more like which country can buy votes 😂😂
haha I loved the green-haired girl. She was so positive (:
Elf McNaughton same
Please make them react to esc winners, like Loreen!
the guy in Orange doesnt not know about Music
haha their faces of disbelief that something can have a huge audience and high production value without the US being in it
"Nah, it's too cheesy" *welcome to Eurovision*
HAHAHAHAHA "its a vocal completion" i've never laughed so hard
Augusto Nunes what???
wannabe one direction... seriously?
Ian Bear Ikr
Yeah that guy deserves a punch in a face for that comment
Time stamp?
Eurovision ISN'T just a singing competition, it's a SONG contest! All is evaluated: staging, voice, song! EVERYTHING!
"Staging"? WTF?! That's a song contest seu burro it isn't musical act contest.
More people should sing in their own language instead of english, its more unique and beautifull
Itamar Medeiros true i like hearing them too
I completely agree.
these people took eurovision more serious than europeans do lol
Kitty Östergren true lol
I refuse to call any of these amateurs KZheadrs. They didn't recognize the EPIC SAX GUY!?!??!
Note that they are Adults, not KZheadrs
Sergio: the first guy to know the difference between spanish and portuguese in this thing
Well, he should, his father is brazilian and his mother is dominican......
"I was not expecting a horse mask in Eurovision." It's Eurovision. That isn't the oddest thing we've seen.
Yeah - let's show them Lordi. Now THAT was weird
Let's show them Serduchka, that's the definition of weirdness.
The Sax player from Moldova is actually the Epic Sax Guy
Like I think that these Americans don't get that the Eurovision is all about representing your own culture as a country... It's not like X-factor where you'll have to compete to have the best voice this is about something bigger ...
kristian poulsen I'm American and even I know that it wasn't just a singing competition. That's what kind of irritated me the whole time about some of these Reactors, they need to see more in the performances.
At it gurl
It wasn’t very well explained to them at all
I think US absolutely not should be allowed in eurovision, australia is enough
That's the problem Cookies. Europeans conquered basically the world. And from these, they changed a lot of cultures with their influences. Same as goes for the UK and Australia. So, technically, most of the Americas, and a few from Asia and Africa (including my country, the Philippines) are allowed to become a member of the EBU and be allowed in the contest.
Dude, Eurovision is not a vocal competition. 😂😂😂
It's a meme competition. Make burning pianos not war.
It's a cheesy freaky music festival and things get especially interesting when you realize your neighbouring countries didn't vote for you...
"ill give it a one. this is a vocal competition" hahahahahahahaah suuuuuuuuuuure it is, dear
Scott needs to understand that the competition is not all about the vocals, it's about the song aswell. I mean it's called the eurovision SONG CONTEST. If it was all about the vocals there would've been completely other winners throughout the years
The portugal guy was really bad and I would fall asleep if I needed to listen to 2-3 songs.
But we won. And the song is amazing!
"he doesn't stand out from the rest"- actually he does. If you had watched all the songs played, then yes, yes he did stand out. He wasn't flashy nor cliche, his voice was good and his song was beautiful (understood none of it, but I really don't need to, to hear how pretty it is)
I think the lyrics were already translated, pretty sure you can find them online if you look for them. :)
TheNeonGuy Really? That awesome, thanks for telling me!
I love the guy who assumes Eurovision is a vocal competition. He has so much to learn.
when u are from Europe, you watch that show every year and u actually know that the song doesn't have much to do with who wins but internal European politics do.
yes! I watch it for the same reason. I didnt this year tho cause I wasn't at home
They didn't recognize the EPIC SAX GUY!!! So sad
FrostPanda yeeeeees Legeeeend🎷🎷🎷🎷
Btw, IT IS NOT a vocal competition, it was created to give a sense of connection between the european countries after WWII, it's not only the music, it's the message itself - strenght, criticism, love, passion, hope, making people remember things that happened in the past.. these. Not "covers" or meaningless songs.
Calm down romeo. It's just a song competition. Every person with a life sees it as that. 95% of the people probably don't even know that it's made because of WW2.
Yea that's why Portugal won....
Salvador is such an amazing performer! As he said "music isn't about fireworks, it's about feeling". Way to go, Portugal!
"Isto foi tudo comprado!" as soon as he had the award in his hands! Loved it!
Fun fact: Celine Dion won for Switzerland back in 1988... (For those who did not know)
If you thought Portugal didn't deserve the win then you have no understanding or appreciation for genuine talent hands down, dude in the orange t-shirt sit down! -_______-
It's also about music, otherwise why have people perform original songs? and a performance doesn't have to be flashy to be moving, don't get me wrong I love the craziness and campiness side of Eurovision but his performance and his story deserved to be recognised.
Emily Atkinson Totally agree I think our country, Portugal is amazing 💜 and I totally agree that we deserved
In Eurovision, the best song rarely wins.
"This is a vocal competition" AHAHAHAHAHA, friend do you know how wrong you are?
yep
5:08 Oh Ethan, the portuguese guy was the one who did something different unlike most of the participants.
the fact that salvador sobral moved most of them when they couldn't understand what he was saying only proves that language isn't a barrier. he made me and my country (portugal) so proud, he totally deserved it
Or heart problems and voters's empathy isn't a barrier 😉
@@pauliuszvironas9667 & what is the excuse for ukraine winning last year?
@@pauliuszvironas9667 we won for our music talent!!! our culture!!! not like almost all of them if not all that show up singing in english with americanized songs!!! We are proud! we show it! we won with our roots! taking risks! not being a lazy coward copycat of the american culture!!
No mater what, you are all missing the best part of Eurovision, Graham Norton's rediculously sassy comentry
OMG massive respect to everyone who said that US should stay out of this!! 👏👏👏👏
I can't stop laughing, IT'S NOT A VOCAL COMPETITION. IT'S EUROVISION
It's not a singing competition it's a song competition it's kind of important when it came to their decision.
6:50 It's not a vocal competition, it is a song contest.
It's funny how Americans are shocked by diversity haha "omg so many flags!!" Haha
Marco Peretto they need to reminded that it's not always about them
well, this year's motto was CELEBRATE DIVERSITY )
Abhay Namboodiri yes yes yes you know it!
that guys talking about what stands out or not but has never watched Eurovision in his life. A song like portugals stands out in Eurovision because it's not flashy like other performances
Kaleb Briggs yeah. portugal was amazing, unlike the other poorly written pop songs.
The winner song is PERFECT! There are versions of this song in Dutch, Swedish, Maltese, French, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Finnish, Polish, sign language, Esperanto, Estonian, English, German, Hebrew, Spanish, Latvian, Wiener german, Brazilian portuguese.... You can find brass band Versions, versions with trumpet, violin, Saxophone, Kanun, Zither, ukulele, heavy metal versions, flute, guitar, accordion, musical saw, opera versions, it is used for contemporary dance projects. When "music is feeling"....this is the result. Celebrating diversity is also celebrating culture and different languages.
I will always laugh at the guy who said Portugal didn't stand out because it's clear he's never seen Eurovision. He stands out because all the focus was on the music and what the performer was trying to convey. Everyone else went big, while he went personal.
not even just that, he also sang in our language while most people sang in english and his song was a very popular genre of music specific to only portugal called fado. he stood out more than people think
Other Countries at Eurovision: I wish we would have won... Germany: YES WE ARE NOT ON LAST PLACE
Yayoi 😂
Yayoi Spain: yes we are in last!!!
Norway: yes sweden didn't win!
Britain: We didn't get below zero, yay! We still have friends...
Yayoi that's literally the same as the UK 😂😂 congrats to both countries for not placing last tho 😁
They don't understand that everything in the Eurovision is so flashy that Portugals simplistic song made it stand out
I agree with your point and I liked the song but his movements were _really_ weird, does he have a condition?
Exactly, the simplicity of a song is often what makes it stand out in competitions. Everyone does some big huge flashy performance because they can't make it with a simple performance, they need the flashiness to keep people's attention.
He actually has but the movements he does are not it.
@Twyzan the only condition he has is that he needs a heart transplant but that's not the case tbh. He's a jazz singer and usually jazz musicians have a "special" way to interpret music. See for example the guitarist Julian Lage. Other known musicians with weird facial expressions are B.B. King and Seve Vai for example
The portuguese music is called Fado , and Fado is very simple, it's usually 1 singer that and 1/2 acoustic guitars.
Italy's "Occidentalis karma"- the monkey, is simply the best! Brilliant lyrics and completely unlike any other Song! And Yess, he sings in his beautiful language: italian!
mena thanks from Italy!
Naomi Zavaglia prego :)
IM LAUGHINH I CANT BELIEVE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SERIOUS AND THEY 'didn't expect' A HORSE MASK IN IT!! LIKE THAT IS UNDERWHELMING FOR EUROVISION
RIGHT
7:17 Portugal definitely did stand out from the rest , their performance was so refreshing after watching so many generic entrees from other countries. he deserved the win.
Actually Portugal did stand out, because how different and unique it was compared to the other countries
I agree less flash more talent
noone noticed the epic sax guy though 😢
