I love how in recent years, we're getting more and more winners in the native languages. In the last 5 years, 3 out of 5 were sang in their native language. Hope that trend continues in the future!

i would love to see a new rule introduced where all contesters are required to sing in their native tounge, it would have sence and bring some interest in the contest show

@sovënn fiy u mean bring back the rule cuz the rule was there before 1973

Theoretically if the UK wins with an English song, is it still a native language despite being English?

@NuclearPikachu7914 yes

@sovënn fiy That's not fair to countries who have a more 'difficult language' that's why the rule was disobeyed

It's incredible that we Lost Luxembourg, a country that won 5x and always took eurovision so seriously!

Also why I started to participate?

Yes but it is a small country so not easy for them.

Treated badly, Luxembourg. And it isn't the same without them. That and the stupid public voting making the whole jury aspect almost academic some years. And too many countries to go through all the scores properly. It's just rushed now. Then stupid game show suspense at the end.

@Paul Spice You don't think it has anything to do with the expense of hosting the competition for a country that's essentially the size of 1 city that has anything to do with it? Geez.

But why did we lose them? Like, did they say they didn’t wanna participate anymore or did they have difficulties? Did the Eurovision itself kick them out?

Ireland winning three times in a row from '92 to '94 is kind of a flex

and they should't have won in '94

Also immediatly after 95 getting another win in 96

@Cherius Cry

And it made them broke.

The Poles didn’t win cause the post communist poland wasn’t prepared to host next one

I genuinely love watching these types of vids because it reminds me of how many times I’ve cried over my country never getting more wins than Ireland

19:42 is 100% my fav and how the songs changed over the years is just amazing

Yessir

Same

It’s used in shorts alot

Yesss ,and molitva is really good

Im happy to be from norway and I I love that too 🇸🇯

Bardzo podobał mi się motyw Ukraina 2022, jest świetny!

Nobody is mentioning it but, Sandra Kim (1986) is the youngest Eurovision winner! She was only 13, despite telling the judges she was 15.

I think she made people believe she was 16, not 15

@Jean-Baptiste Chopin no, she told she was 15. 16 - is a minimum age for participants now, the rule EBU came up with after Sandra won

@Polina Bernard wrong again, that rule was as a result of France and Israel sending an 11-year old and a 12-year old respectively in 1989.

@Quietstream Productions I didn't say this rule came BECAUSE she won, just AFTER. Several years later is still after, right? By the way, although this age rule was set in 1989, when 11 and 12 years old singers took part, Sandra Kim's victory in 1986 has much to do with this decision.

why did she lie

Before 2002 most performers just sang and at most would sway from left to right. In 2002 Latvia had the singer actually do choreography and it's interesting how most winners after that had choreography it was almost like 2002 was the year we went from just singing to performing.

The Kessler twins (Germany 1959) had the first choreography in ESC (very reduced because the stage was very small), Brotherhood of Man (UK 1976) had a "handography"(Germany 1977 too), Izhar Cohen (Israel 1978) and his background group had a little dancy choreography and Dschingis Khan (Germany 1979) had choreography and costumes matching the song.Those came to my mind first , I'm sure there are more 🤔 The history of ESC is very far-reaching, there is a lot to discover :)

@Seschat The Kessler twins at best swayed from left to right and snapped their fingers, which is what I said most acts did. Brotherhood of Man still just stood still yes they bopped up and down and moved their hands but it was very light choreography compared to Latvia's in 2002. Izhar Cohen swayed from left to right as well just at a quicker tempo hardly would call that choreography, they had a dance break indeed but my point was Latvia were the first country to both sing and dance at the same time and with more extreme choreography than just swaying and doing a little jiggle. Dschingis Khan is probably your best example because absolutely there is a lot more going on there but it's only one person on the stage that's actually moving their feet, everyone else is standing and swaying at best. My original point is that what Latvia did was so ahead of its time which is why it won, it wouldn't even qualify in these years but it was so ahead of its time that it amazed the people which is why it won. She sang whilst dancing, there's dancers on the stage too that don't even sing, the backing vocalists are apart of the choreography and then they do a fancy clothes change which back in 2002 probably amazed everyone. I respect the history of Eurovision absolutely I just thought it was interesting the dynamic shift we had from songs in 2002. The year after Latvia won we had Turkish belly dancers who made an incredible performance with their singing and dancing. It's just from my opinion it's clear 2002 was the year we went from just singing a song to singing and performing.

@Vigo The Kessler twins had really little space and therefore hardly any possibilities, but they turned and did synchronized dance steps on the tiny little stage - a miracle that they didn't hurt themselves! :D 'Choreography' is a wide field, and can contain all possible variations. As you have described it, you are of course right. Except for the one with the trick dresses - Ireen Sheer already had something like that in 1978 (Germany), but ok it was more of a trick top ;) The girls from UK had the first real trick dresses in 1981.

@Vigo I just remembered Germany's contribution from 1996 (Leon) - that was a choreography like the one you described. Unfortunately, Germany's entry and 5 others (if I'm not mistaken) didn't make it to the final.

To me, 2002 is the year it got worst haha!

The 1969 host, Laura Valenzuela, asked: "What would happen if there is a draw?" , and the EBU spokeperson said "That will never happen" But it happened, a draw of four contestants.

I think the Netherlands would have won on a count-back rule as they got 6 points from one jury (France), so I guess they would have won if the protocol was in place.

@Dominic Joy actually I'm pretty sure France would have won

@Esmay Stokhof Why?

REALLY!? 😱

@Dominic Joy under the current tie-breaker France would have won as both France and Spain received points points from the most amount of countries (9 countries giving points to each, the other 2 from 7 and 8 countries) and then between the 2 France got the highest amount from a single country.

Great work. Interesting to see a song contest descend mostly into frantic frenzy. A great indication of the state of the world each year.

I remember Eurovision 2009 as a child. Alexander Rybak is the best. His song was played on every radio at that time

You make me feel very old now 😞😂

dunno but it is a bop

You`re right. I`m from Ukraine and I remember only this one and Euphoria :D

Ik im proud of being a Norwegian

He is the best!❤️

Waterloo is my all time fav. So amazing to see the evolution of music and costumes. Thank you!

the best thing about Eurofestiva is to see and hear all these nations united in one beautiful thing, peace and music. this year a great pain for Ukraine, as an Italian I hope that as they deservedly won in music, peace and freedom of the nation also wins. I love you Europe. a warm and big hug to all of you from southern Italy ♥ ️ 🇮🇹🇪🇺 ♥ ️

I agree but when EBU sticks their nose into the televoting and jury votes,it's bad That's why I think that the best way to enjoy this competition is to not care about who wins

Vittoria meritata dell'Ucraina !!! Ma stai scherzando!? non si può definire canzone quella porcheria, hanno vinto solo per la guerra e nient'altro. Se non fosse in guerra non arrivava neanche in finale

@Alessio Carminati didn't ask

E noi tedeschi paghiamo per tutta questa merda in modo da poter ballare la pace e la felicità con e per gli stupidi. Tutto è un gioco politico e l'Ucraina otterrà 12 punti da tutti i paesi per aver resistito nel 2023. Speriamo che questo gioco finisca presto!

As an Irish person, our biggest flex is winning eurovision the most times. That being said, Lordi pulling the biggest left hook with a sick metal song and winning is better than anything else.

Agreed 100%. Super proud to live in Finland🇫🇮

I worked as an English teacher in Japan, and they asked me to do a class about something weird that happens in Europe, as their media only shows politics and squeaky clean idealised versions of European countries. I showed them the last 20 years of Eurovision winners. The kids (ages ranging from 6-16) we bopping their heads to Ukrain; they loved Greece, then FINLAAAAAAND!!! Nothing brings me more joy than 40 kids gasping in shock and laughing their butts off (in a good way) as they thought Finland was all Christmas and reindeer. XD

I am from finland and thats insane

Let's be honest Lordi was only popular at the time because of their costumes. The song itself was very Mid.

@CC4720 Though after that year i was kinda disappointed by you guys. I thought you'd go down the path and send stuff like Krypts, Corpsessed or Hooded Menace by now.

Interestingly, the first Eurovision I remember watching is 1998 and the only song I'm still listening to is "Fairytale". But I bet I'll be listening to several songs from 2022 for a long time! In 2015 I watched the Eurovision while being in Sweden with all my colleagues volunteers from different corners of Europe, turns out our hosting country won ! They take Eurovision seriously there XD It was a great evening and a good song!

Faiytale and arcade for me.

@jessie 1500 Same for me

Loved that song, had a terrible relationship with a guy who looked just like him and now I can't listen to that song without scowling. I miss it lol

I always get a tear to my eye watching Stefania :'(

Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it

Legit a fire song too.

Meee tooooo .

I've just noticed - the last time we had two consecutive winners singing in languages other than English was in 1990-1991 (Italian and Swedish of course) Since then, we've only had English with some other languages every now and then (95, 98, 07, 17) or bilingual (04, 16) I really enjoy having winners singing in their native languages ♥ I will say that I have no complaints against the UK or Ireland for singing in English xD

what about 2021-2022?

@Madison That's my point, that the last time we had it before now, was 90-91

רק רוצה להגיד שאני גם ישראלי זה הכל

Hello but it's an underspoken language, it's also called Irish gaelic

@queer tears ew

Love how fashion is represented through the ages

Figueroa mi ricorda Boris 4 lol

2003 will be turkey and in 2010 it is clear that the real champion is maNga.

@kaili dovas bruh

Abba on Eurovision is just iconic 😌❤️

it really is! my Swedish grandfather is properly obsessed with the song

I'm surprised they were only on once!

Listening to these straight through it feels like about 3 or 4 winners in a row right after ABBA were just trying to copy their sound.

Just true!

The France 1991,runner was sung by a stunning woman , with unbelievable voice ,who lost out on 12 vote count back after a tie

Thank you for this video! I'm from the UK, and I love how our mentality and aspiration kind of changed towards eurovision. Pre 2000 we would of been like "ah we finished 2nd again? Really happy, but fingers crossed we'll win next year!". Whereas we finish 2nd this year after so long and it's like "OMG, we came second, WE ACTUALLY GOT POINTS!" 😄🎉

Our mentality and aspiration changed when Terry Wogan took over the commentary and started the downward spiral of derision and sarcasm that started to ruin the reputation of the contest and Graham Norton continued along the same path!Hardly surprising that Britain stopped sending serious contenders and ended up with trash like Scooch and the perennial last place! Now that we finally bothered to send a decent entry that would have won if Putin hadn't intervened maybe we can finally get rid of the sarcasm and start taking it seriously again! This was actually the first year I watched the contest in its entirety for years because, thanks to YouTube, I found a wonderful live stream from the Eurovision press centre with a brilliant live chat so I turned off the sound on my tv and listened to it on the stream instead with commentary by two people who were absolutely massive fans and were really into it all and treated it with the love and respect that it deserved!

Cool music #waterboymusic

This video is so well done, I can’t believe it! Is so accomplished and I love how you add the new winners every year!

i love eurovision so much because it units so many countries to this one really fun contest with music and performances, everyones just having a good time and i love it!

The voice, Fairytale and Arcade are the ones I loved and didn't knew they were Eurovision songs...Perfection, for me!

This is a beautiful example of how music keeps changing over the years! ❤

22:10 as a Turk, i feel like all Turks won with Jamala’s winning. Such a strong song, and her mixing English with Tatar Turkish is genius. Almost everyone knows English so she is telling the story to the world, and singing the saddest part in Tatar Turkish was so touching

She is armenian

@the CYBERCHEM lmfao funniest shit i’ve ever heard today

@Lamprey L Jamala is actually half armenian :)))

@Lamprey L umm she is armenian xd

@William Mine educate yourself

I love fairytale, the charisma and voice ugh I can’t get enough of it 😍😍

Agreed

and now with 2023's Eurovision over, I'm proud to say that Sweden (with Loreen's help again) has won.

Oglądam Konkurs Piosenki Eurowizji dla dorosłych od 1980 roku ogromne wrażenie robi na mnie 🇺🇦 Ruslana Jamala Kausz Orkiestra. ZWYCIEZCY!!!

Jedne że słabszych występów Ukrainy na Eurowizji wygrywają (w sumie z zabarwieniem polityczno- wojennym a niby zakazane i banowane takie utwory) gdzie ich super piosenki były niżej a Melovina dosłownie okradli z czołówki. Tragedia

I am enyoing the evolution of costums and performances through time. From stand along singers with brilliant voices to whole shows, lights, dancing and technologies.

This year was crazy! UK finishing second and Spain third was amazing

Nah, UK was great but Spain and Sweden were so overrated Still crying for Montenegro 😩

@Vladan's saudades for Portugal you can let people have different opinions you know

UK deserved to win. Ukraine winning was 100% political.

@TH You're being too generous: top 10 was the best Stefania would've gotten.

@Minerva's Owl You do know that music is subjective, especially when there are so many good songs to choose from? If you don't like Stefania, that is definitely your right, but do not take it upon yourself to tell millions of people who voted for Stefania that they are somehow wrong just because you said so.

Welcome to the family, Kalush Orchestra! What an incredible legacy you're a part of now.

He's part of the club just for the war, you can't call that crap a song. If she hadn't been at war, she would have come last.

@Alessio Carminati no, it's a great song, they maybe wouldn't have won if there was no war but they would at least have qualified and made it into the top 15

@Piggy It's worse than russian rockets

i really like it tbh. flute guy goes HARD

Alexander Rybak, Lena, Duncan Laurence and Salvador Sobral are the real cuties of Eurovision!! All deserved winners ❤️

Turkey was better in 2010 imo.

@Sensemmosta It has been 12 years and y'all STILL going over that.

And Il Volo instead of Mans)))

@Mario Mirceski it's especially bad bc it's not even like Turkey did better than Germany in televote that year 💀

@TheKitKatLizard IKR like Germany won both the Juries and the televote 💀💀💀💀

Wow! Ireland won three times in a row. Then again after two years. This is amazing! Ireland seems to be the queen of ballads.

And an irish singer won 2 times the eurovision !

They literally stopped winning because they could no longer afford to host the contest every year!

@B.A.L Got me thinking, if the Ukraine-Russian war continues into next year (hope it doesn't), they might have to change the location for 2023.

@Gustav Ju true

@Gustav Ju Justice has prevailed because the UK, the true winner of 2022, has been selected to host the contest next year!

since Finland 2006, it makes me so happy we have been able to listen to more hard rock on Eurovision and even having another winner with this kind of music in 2021 with Zitti E Buoni.

I am from Ukraine and my personal favorites are: 10:05 - Germany 1982 14:55 - Norway 1995 18:00 - Ukraine 2004 I am also amazed at how wonderful and melodic the songs of Ireland are!

Stay safe!

@João Lacerda Thank you♥️🙏

Ukraine won by pity-votes, UK was real winner.

95 and 96 songs sounds like they are from lord of the rings

@sten Secret garden reminds me of Fiona's song from Shrek :D

I love the songs before 1960, really elegant and most of them have french words, i really see how the world is growing since the past years.

I think they are kinda boring and all sound similar to one another. I think these songs are crooner songs.

My first proper memory of the Eurovision Song Contest was watching it in 1974 on an old black and white tv at my grandparents house with my entire family when I was 8 years old and we were all routing for Olivia Newton John with Long Live Love and we were all booing ABBA whenever they got any votes. I always remember calling Bjorn Ulvaeus pudding face and was really annoyed when ABBA won. Little did I know that just a few short years later ABBA would become one of my favourite groups! Looking back on the contest over the years my favourite song is still Ding Dinge Dong which won the following year and just has this contintental European vibe to it that is often used in montages about Europe to this day.

isn't it funny how eurovision produces in us such strong opinions and cheers and boos during the contest, and all about songs that we'll probably have a completely changed opinion of once we properly know them hahaha

I just love 1970's songs. So many classics! Anne-Marie David ❤️

2020 Sweden did their own little Eurovision by showing all of the contestants music videos and the winner was well deserved Iceland

Yeah, I remember that, that was one shitty show. Like, holy crap! If I wanted to watch a commentary video on the ESC songs I would have! I don’t need people who don’t understand the cultural significance of different stuff to comment on that stuff. I literally screamed every second minute until my mom told me to either shut up or go to my room, I went to my room.

@Espn Öberg it was horrible, like absolutely horrendous But Island song was nice

@Monke con leche Starting with the winner. The only thing i was thankfull about Esc 2020 been cancelled was i did not have to see the terrible possibility of Iceland or Russia winning with those "Songs"

To be fair the dude from Italy who was supposed to perform in 2020 could have also won at the end. His performance this year of that song was so damn powerful. And even, if Iceland and Russia would get most of the televotes, he probably would get buffed by the Jury. And probably a lot of votes would get split between other countries as well. I mean the girl from Poland who performed her song during 2020 JESC finale also did extremely well. In the end I feel like it's ok we didn't have that event? The Youtube event was actually kinda cool and there was no risk of Russia winning which would be messy with modern situation.

Yay

Wonderful to see the rise in competitors every few year and so much wonderful music to listen to. Thank you for posting.

Cool music #waterboymusic

I've been manifesting for Spain to finally do well in Eurovision for an entire year and they finally did it, they got the 3rd place (although not with a song i like, but still, congrats to them, chanel and her team). Now I am manifesting for germany to do well next year. Come on, Germany, you got this! About France......i am sincerly shocked.........they've sent such a unique song and they've got such a low score for what? 😭😭😭😭 I thought they'd finish in top 10, i hope they won't go back to the boring ballads.

I didn’t appreciate France at first, but I warmed up to it eventually. I totally agree, they didn’t deserve that low of a score. If anyone should be down there, it’s Greece (Sorry if I sound rude, but to be honest, it was very boring)

@Robo never liked greece's song this year, and the fact that it was overhyped made me hate it even more, so I fully agree with you and don't think you were rude at all

france had such a nice beat! rave shit. my top 3

I agree I thought France was a really unusual atmospheric song. The results of the jury vote really surprised me

They would not have been third without the show.. The song is not much to have.

I'm 21 now from the UK, but Euphoria by Loreen has always stuck with me. Such an anthem.

3:29 He deserves it so much, an absolute Legend! Not everyone like this part of Music but he wrote absolute iconic songs. So deserved ❤

You must be joking.

The vocals of the turkish winner in 2003 were soo strong. Even her backup singers were her dancers at the same time. She deserved it relly

We still listen to it from time to time to relive the memory after 20 years. It is such a great song, even now. I wish I was able to see it performed live, such a good performance I am in awe every time I watch it

@Irmak Temel knk türküm caktirma

@bettys cardigan AHAHAHAHAHHAJENDJWLDNEKWKJD PATLADIM AQ

​@bettys cardigan hayvfirlama yaaa😂😂😂

Starting off the 2020's with 2 bands winning in a row, one rock and one hip-hop! Iconic. (It would have been 3 bands if Iceland had won in 2020 - which I believe they would have - but I have no idea what genre they even are lol)

I would say the Ukraine song is a mix between Rap, Hip hop, folk music, free song. Listen to their song Mountain too. It is also beautiful. The video with the views make it even better.

The Islandic genre would be "hilariously epic minimalism." 😂

Iceland would probably be disco pop but twisted and mutated 🤣

@euan milne i think it would’ve been Italy, Iceland, Bulgaria or Lithuania but Russia is definitely up there

What Amazing Level and improving about the Winners in the last yearsss and the wide variety of style and languages!!! Long live to Eurovision although all Europe are in very difficult times💪🏻❤

I'm always impressed how you get the highest quality video clips from each year. Like how in the world did you get a clip from the 1962 contest without the annoying dot in the middle of the camera shot?

Also, I thought images from 1964 were destroyed and now he comes and shows the tape of the live?? I wonder how he does this!!

@* aspID They actually found part of the 1964 contest and one of the parts that was found was the winners reprise so I think that's where the clip is from

he might work for some tv station or he might get them from EBU themselves.. idk tho

Yes, the quality is outstanding and even better than when I was watching it on my black and white tv way back in the 70s.

Yes even the later clips, such as Celine Dion's is crystal clear. I cannot find one with similar quality for the full song in youtube!

the range of musical styles, from chanson to metal, to electronic with folk mixed into it in recent years is just beautiful to see. Simply amazing that any kind of music can win. And yes, I do believe that Kalush Orchestra won because of the political situation BUT: The song was an absolute banger! And it's absolutely justified that they won it with such a great entry. Only sad thing is that Subwoolfer didn't get second place, for they were in my opinion together with Kalush Orchestra the best two entries.

Ruslana - Wild dances ❤️‍🔥 I were obsessed with her in my 11. Looking forward Ukraine 2023 and Verka

I do like the exposure of other cultures. Tastes in music are so diverse instruments & languages fitting into time signatures.

Thank you very much for this wonderful collection of the Eurovison. Happy memories when I lived in Europe. Namaste 🙏

A brilliantly put together compilation. Bravo!

Wanda Król piękne były kiedyś piosenki Gratulacje dziękuję za piękno Pozdrawiam z Poland dziękuję ♥️💔♥️🕊🍀🕊🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊🌏

Lordi. Best, most creative, different winner. Absolutely the most deserved win everrrr. So iconic

The 60's and 70's, 80's were really great. Contains 2 of my alltime favorites 😊. Denmark '63 and Italy '64 😍❤️ and of course ABBA, Teach-in, Brotherhood of man and many more. And thank god for Euphoria. Felt like te crazy chabby decennium was finally passing 😅

Cool music #waterboymusic

So many memories! Even though I don't watch the Eurovision Song Contest very often in recent years. But keep up the good work! Excellent picture and sound quality.

1974 was really a turning point in what kind of music was submitted and how the show looked, like it or not. Then the same happened in 2003

let's see how things will turn out in 2032...

Something definetely happened in 2003, most winners prior to 2003 were either bland, boring or bad except for a certain few. Well, 1995 is my favourite winner and 1999 is very good winner but in general, not good.

Interesting to see how popular music has changed over the years. Also its notable the influence ABBA had for the winners of the next few years.

Wanda Król te piosenki są piękne G ratulacje za piękno 2oo7roku,.pozdrawiam serdecznie 2008 i 2010 już słuchałam tych pięknych piosenek Gratulacje za piękno i te następne lata które były piękne Gratulacje.wszystkim wspaniałym Artystom za piękno Gratulacje pozdrawiam z Poland dziękuję pięknie ♥️💔♥️🕊🍀🕊🌹🌹🌹🕊🕊🌏

może jestem wybredny, ale jedyny przebój Eurowizji to Waterloo

Thankyou Schlager Lucas for producing this full list and write up, which must have significant historical value.

When you actually line Stefania up with other winners it stands out as a really great song. Just shows it definitely could have won even without the solidarity.

it's good but there's a part that would've been better if it was more energetic/loud, feels out of the song tbh

coming from someone whose personal winner is chanel lol

Well they were second or third in my own ranking and I didn't take political context into account, just the song and the scene (I'm really glad they won)

@nayara gonzález everyones taste is difference, in my eyes that song had deserved it most

same thought here!

Thank you for posting this timeline!! It proves that what goes around comes around!!! Eurovision'''s musical timeline documents the universality of music.

Fun fact: in 2000 Olsen brothers won the Danish contest singing the song in Danish (which is somehow just as good as the English version) but for the international version the decided to translate it and won…

Only a few entries before the mid 60's were familiar, but after 1990's I really started to recognize the songs and even be able to sing along. Ruslana 2004 and Lordi 2006 are the best. I'm hoping for a Käärijä win for Finland 2023 but Loreen will probably win automatically.

Honestly, I’m so glad that Ukraine won this year. At first I didn’t like the song, but it has grown on me and I rooted for them even of I am from Sweden which this year had a strong entry. And it was so beautiful to see the whole Europe united for Ukraine. Before complaining about politics, just remember why Eurovision started. This is a symbolic win in Eurovision history that no other song this year would be near!🇺🇦❤️

But the objectif of the eurovision SONG Contest is to vote for the favorite song of the 40 Countries…Not vote for the Badest political situation of à country. Politic in eurovision is for bidden…

@Alexandre LOOTEN I am aware of that, but since when has Eurovision NOT being about politics? It has always been and will always be, even if it’s not allowed. Sure, some countries were robbed this year but Ukraine needed this victory because it gives them some hope in all the tragic. And, their song was really good so they deserved the win from that perspective too.

@Solros Sol Ok okay then why last year Azerbaijan participated in the 2021 edition of Eurovision while a few months earlier it bombed Armenia, a country also a member of the EBU which could not participate in because of the war that Azerbaijan waged? Why was Israel not expelled for its genocide against the Palestinians? Why did France in 2015 not win the competition when they suffered terrorist attacks all over the country? You have to stop looking for an excuse for a while. Already Ukraine should clearly have been excluded from the competition in the same way as Russia, we cannot accept a country which is going to do some kind of political propaganda for a singing competition (whether it is Russia, Ukraine or not any other country). And the primary goal of the competition is the political neutrality that Eurovision is supposed to represent, so the one and only support that the EBU is supposed to have is towards peace for all peoples and not taking sides for one and exclude the other...And what the EBU did was violated and a lot of people in Europe are disappointed with this lack of neutrality last night and this sort of stance for Ukraine in doing so. winning only by support and not for the song while the other countries worked hard to win...

Eurovision started for the music, not for the politics. If you want to engage in politics, actually *study* it and keep it out of singing contests.

It was the public gave Ukraine their victory. If they had gone by the jury vote it would of been UK victorious. We all knew Ukraine would win this year. Their song was originally wrote about one the bands mum, but the conflict gave it more meaning.

I’m gonna say it.. Sweden in Eurovision is just iconic. They always do so well! And that takes a lot of me to say as a Norwegian person haha

Coming from a norwegian that is big lol. /a swede

Well from a sweden Norway 2009 even rivals ABBA 1974! Also comming from a swede i think loreen sucks😂

My heart breaks for Ukraine. Everytime I hear Jamala's song I cry.

Mes 3 meilleures chansons au cours de ces 67 ans de concours sont : 1. Vicky Leandro’s (Après toi), Conchita Wurtz ( Rise like a Phoenix) et 3. Merci chéri( Udo Jergens).

Everytime i hear Molitva from 2007 i get Goosebumps…

Thank you for compiling this! I guess it was a lot of work to do! You're a hero for the generations to come!

Svaka čast na postavljenom videu.❤😂😊

Where is Greece 🇬🇷 2005??

@Zenon-Stylianos Anastasiou Thank You I wrote it too but it isnt in The list I think its because I updated it so often

​​@Zenon-Stylianos Anastasiou Now i Updated Greece The 3rd time

Where is France ?

@Sam D Thanks Same Thing With Greece I wrote it but it hasnt updated

In the 2022 competition the standard was higher than I can remember, not a single song missed the entertainment target. Have watched it for sixty plus years. My all time favourite is Loreen with Euphoria then Giliola Cinqueti from Italy way back. She was comparing last year!

I wish there was a full-length version of this video - with a full-length track of every winner

You can actually find audio tracks of every Eurovision entry online if you know where to look. I created a playlist of winners, and another one for all the songs I liked, winners or not. Listening to the official audio is often much more pleasing than the live version, because they are mostly recorded in the studio.

Cool music #waterboymusic

Muito bom. Memórias de uma vida em que a televisão passou a ser parte integrante da família. Tudo de bom

Thank you so much for this compilation. All my life I have loved Eurovision and I have a journalist friend who used to attend every year - nowadays he has to go to the Cannes Film Festival which is usually about the same time! I'm looking forward to next year's contest!

1974 was probably the first time a non-English speaking country won or even participated with a song sung in English. ABBA was probably famous worldwide thanks to their participation in Eurovision.

ABBA was the first winner with a song in English from a non-English speaking country, but the first time a non-English speaking country _participated_ with a song in English was in 1965 when Ingvar Wixell from Sweden sung "Absent Friend". The year after they banned the free choice of languages, forcing everyone to sing in their country's native languages. In 1973 that rule was abolished, but introduced again in 1977, and then abolished in 1999.

Poland getting second on debut and Ukraine winning in their second entry. Wonderful stuff from the Eastern European brothers and sisters!

Latvia also did well on their first entry.

@Rollo37 and serbia won when they debuted in 2007

@卩𝑒𝐓𝐓𝔂 but I still have no idea how Verka Serduchka got only second place

Poland is not Eastern European country! and they won but didn’t have money to host Eurovision then

@卩𝑒𝐓𝐓𝔂 came second when they were serbia and montenegro in 2004 im pretty sure

It's been almost 30 Years and I still can't get over Poland didn't win in 94', Really people check this song out, Magnificent, and her voice just stunning!

yep, that was a nice song

Cool music #waterboymusic

They couldn't win because ireland was just better lol

2009 is still so magical that no wonder it is still the biggest win in Eurovision history

Portugal 2017 is

@Fireste Boring song. Not deserving winner

@Phyrrus Karim Armalgold It still got the most points everr

Biggest win in terms of?

@Phyrrus Karim Armalgold it's a great song and not generic pop trash like the others

Aún no puedo superar a Conchita Wurst! WoW, qué increíble! ❤️

I started watching this when I was 3. One of my favourite things about being European ❤

Que de souvenirs! Ah! Les belles chansons qui ont bercé mon enfance ! Je déplore que depuis plusieurs années, les chanteurs ne chantent plus dans leur langue maternelle. Ils chantent presque tous en anglais.Pourquoi? Ça enlève tout le charme de l'Eurovision!

Woow really love it. Just masterpiece ❤️🤩. Love from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿❤️

Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿

All great. Thank you for putting them all together. I din't want to say a favourite but honestly, just as snatch of nocturne puts hairs on the back of my neck. That's my Andy Dufesne record right there.

Danke für diese Auflistung! Von einigen Künstlern wusste ich gar nicht mehr, dass sie teilgenommen und gewonnen hatten, wie Udo Jürgens und Vicky Leandros. Und das Johnny Logan sogar zweimal gewonnen hat. Ich habe den ESC die letzten Jahre auch nicht mehr verfolgt, auch weswegen ich auch nicht auf dem Schirm hatte, dass Måneskin auch dazu gehörten 😊 In der geballten Ladung sticht für mich eine Performance immer noch heraus und rührt mich zu Tränen, Conchita Wurst mit "Rise like a Phoenix" finde ich der Gesamtheit so überragend, episch ❤️

Finde ich auch.😊

1996 is a masterpiece - nothing comes close to it

Yep, this song with this keltic motives is actually very good, I'm surprised I never listened it before.

7:18...THE BEST!! That day the history of music changed forever. Bless that day 🙏🏻❤️💕✨

Am I wrong or did Sweden produce the best nr 1 hits over the years? 1974 Waterloo (obviously), Carola Fångad av en Stormvind 1991, Euphoria 2012, Heroes 2015 comes to mind. That being said, was pleasantly surprised by Norway and Ireland as well. (For example 1995 Nocturne and 1996 The voice. Still holds up). Also wish there were some kind of rule forcing countries to sing in their native languages. Later years have been more bland since all have pretty much switched to English.

Italy always brings the best songs. Incredible that won only 1 time on 15 last decent editions

since 2000's begin it took 9 years before a country wins which has already won once ... sensational time - not because it was that great, but it was nearly a decade full of one-time-winners for their countries!

I have to say, Sweden the best songs. They're always so good!! Can't wait for eurovision 2023!!

I have good News Loreen is singing in Eurovision 2023 Hi from Sweden

@Ign Potato’s I just listened to the song and IT'S SO GOOD. My theory still stands ✨

@CreepyKarma 🤩🤩🤩

The amount of times the uk was the runner up is just insane

Euphoria is the only one in the last decades that sounds like a good "real song", like something capable of survive in the "real world". In fact, I found out years later that it was from Eurovision! For me was just a new cool hit.

euphoria and only teardrops.

And fairytale

Euphoria was so funny the moment it was released everyone knew it was unbeatable. Like it was the most obvious victory ever 😅

Arcade!!!!!!!

Luxembourg was such a Powerhouse during the 50s and 60s era of ESC. Hoping they will return again someday!

But nobody was born in Luxembourg. It feels like the musicians have been bought.

Ukraine, Portugal and Romania got my votes last night :D I am very happy with results

Portugal, yas. Taste!

Slimeladder no. All of them were masterpieces

Slimeladder tbh i think the song was pretty good! But I think that also many people voted bc of the war still the song is good

Thank you for vote for Romania

@Vladan's saudades for Portugal in my opinion all of them weren't that good. I loved Estonia and I was annoyed that germany once again ended up last place. Seriously, that song was better than portugal in my opinion...

Amazing video! Thank you so much!! 🇧🇷

Love shine a light is iconic. A real Eurovision anthem. Cliff was robbed in 1968. Nicole, A little peace. Johnny Logan pure class. Who knew in 1988 that Celine Dion would become a superstar. Rise like a phoenix still gives me goose pimples.

I saw a lot the ESCs and I never forget Severine 1971. As she was on the stage performing her song as the 3 of 18 presenters, I said direct, I do not know today who was with me, maybe one of my first girfriends and family I was 18, she will win today. The year later Vicky was the favorite at all, easy turn. And for what ever reason, 1974 at ABBAs victory I was not present on this evening.
