This should've won 2018!! Just a bomb on the stage, great performance! You should do with Sweden 2015 or 2018, also Romania 2010, Iceland 2009

Please react to Portugal 2018 and Germany 2018 ... gosh ... 2018 was such a good year 🤩

A note on glitter: she isn't wearing the kind of glued on loose glitter that gets everywhere, her outfit is made with hundreds of thousands of stones, handsown to the sheer fabric.

Thank you for another great reaction. FYI 2018 was held in Lisbon, Portugal, and the organizers decided not to use LEDs as part of the stage, so each country had to be more creative and use other resources to shine on stage. The decision had to do with a budget stuff, I think. Eleni was the runner up but for many of us she should have won and get the first victory for Cyprus.

Yes the budget was the main reason against the LED wall and LED floor. Portugal was and is still i an economic crisis and to host an ESC is so expensive. They have decided to turn the disadvantages into advantages. They tried to focus on sustainability and cost efficiency in all their organisations. 2018 is by far my favorite ESC. So much creativity and passion.

@@maltebrinkwerth6586 all I can say is rtp did an amaxing job. They hosted everything to such a great degree. I happened to be at the contest in Lisbon in person in 2018 and truly you couldn't tell they were so constrained by budget. It all felt epic but so so authentically Portuguese. Plus it was great to experience a host city just so happy and excited to host the contest

2018 was one of fav years because the stage didnt have led screens unless the artist brought them. I actually think that lighting looked even better

Can you please react to Bosnia and Herzegovina 2006. The song ended up on 3th place (Lordi won that year). In my opinion, that is one of the best ballads in whole Eurovision history. So magical song with beautiful melody.

SECONDED!

Sad you didn't mention the extreme dancing and singing at the same time. She killed it in my opinion. You can hear that she is out of breath at the end..

I don't understand why no one suggested to react to Norway 2019 yet.

Because it's cheesy

Argh this should have won! It was incredible watching this live!

Just like in the case of Australia you reacted, the studio version of this song was not really that much on people's radar to win before the contest, but again she shot straight up to the top of betting odds after her first rehearsal, because of her great performance and seductive stage presence. She came second to Netta - Toy (pre-rehearsal favorite), because me too movement was big at that time, and the song (although it's a fun, unique, upbeat song, with ethnic sound), had that message and probably contributed a bit to her win. Honestly, I love both of them, but Cyprus reigns supreme for me.

It's on fire!

If you look closely to her catsuit, it's not glitter but sequin. She had 4 of the same style but different colours as she wished to choose the final one depending on what looked better on stage during the rehearsals back in 2018. Each one of them costed £45000. That deligation did a fantastic job with Eleni and Cyprus is extremely proud of her for becoming a Eurovision icon and example. Thank you Eleni.

Well, to be fair, Cyprus isnt known for big productions in Eurovision, this in my ipinion was their best stage production for eurovision so far, also the fact that the 2018 stage offers litle possibilities for ideas to stage a performace, making other countries that year to bring their own stuffs to add to their performance( the projection dress from estonia, sweden's own light effects, those "filter" effects used by norway, cyprus and lithuania,germanys own projection screen, russia's projection mountain), that stage murdered a lot of good songs that year,😂😂😂

Still my winner of 2018. Still don't know if I want to be her or I want to date her, though.

Also, if you appreciate extremely beautiful and extremely talented women in Eurovision, I highly recommend Armenia 2016.

Lithuania 🇱🇹 2020!!!

And I would say it again, it just happens, that we recommended you big visual performances first. They are really not that common, at least in a year, but you got all at once haha, so now everything in comparison might not seem so great. I think visually, 2016 was the best, since the whole stage (floor and background) was one giant LED screen, which offered a lot of opportunity for visual effects.

I want to see your reaction to Norway 2019!

Eleni Foureira she’s a super star 🌟 and a super super sexy woman 👩

The 2018 stagging didnt have screens in the background thats why the performance was more "traditional" but still the best one that year :)

This should've won. Still bitter 😭 lol
