When the Eurovision Song Contest was cancelled last Spring, previous Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, promised the Contest would return ‘stronger than ever’ - and that’s exactly what we're going to do!
Krista Siegfrids will host an exclusive backstage series, Krista Calling, covering every square inch of the show from the red carpet to the Rotterdam Ahoy, leaving no shred of confetti unturned to bring you all the stories, gossip and drama from behind-the-scenes across the month of May.
As well as guiding us through the backstage action, Krista will host the second edition of Eurovision Song Celebration, which last year saw the streaming of all 41 official videos in place of the cancelled Semi-Finals.
This year, to honour the hard work each country has put into their 'live-on-tape' back-ups, we'll be creating a special program showcasing all 39 of these performances.

De puta madre
@Lalalalisa_m'in cupcake'i with yellow highlights Stfu
Winner Azerbaijan Yeah 🇦🇿
I love how they use Bones from Bulgaria 2018 as a background sound
Wait, Krista Siegfrids took role over from Nicky Tutorials? I'm confused 😨
I love that they are playing bones as a background music in the beginning
I am from the Amazon State in Brazil. Huge Eurovision fan since 2012. First saw it in Switzerland and never got cured of it.
Imagine being that fucking person who dislikes a video like this
Cool
This is great!
Can I still be super excited for a country and be an American 🤣
Torille!!
Europe needs Eurovision this year 2021
I hope Eurovision will not be cancelled this year
Love the background music from esc 2018
Amazing Let’s celebrate also 2020
1:10 wait... does this mean we will get the live performances from last year song too???🥺😱🥵
No? There are no live versions of those. They meant the live on tape performances of 2021.
It would be nice that live on tape performances become tradition from this year.. 🌠🌠
Loved the instrumental of 2018 songs (Bulgaria - Bones, Cyprus - Fuego & Ukraine - Under The Ladder) in the background!
1:10 wait... does this mean we will get the live performances from last year song too???🥺😱🥵
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Sorry, I didn't understand it so much... Will be all songs performances in live from Rotterdam or it will be videos from each country???
@Frosty thanks!
All songs will be performed live but just in case some contestants aren't able to travel (due to corona), they filmed their live on tape performance that can be used in Rotterdam.
What happens if a country need to use their live-on-tape for the semis/final? Would they still show it on the song celebration?
0:05 Please don't remind me-
YAAASSSSSS I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait so we will see on stage performances for the 2020 acts !? Yessss 😍
🇦🇿 Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Wtf is this video title
Yes yes ding dong! My love for eurovision stays so strong!
1st Time Watching: Hearing to the music 2nd Time Watching: Hearing to his voice
Good news
The one time Eurovision is in your home city and can’t receive any public... I’m devastated... 😢😢 I wish I was where all the action will be, inside the Ahoy... A beautiful venue by the way... 😍😍
@Danny Versluis He was amazing! My 2nd of 2019 (1st is Keiino)
@barari Nice! Sure it was an amazing night seeing Duncan win?? I absolutely love the song from Israel this year! 🇮🇱💖
@Danny Versluis 4 is too much imo, I'm from Israel and when eurovision was there in 2019 I only went to the grand final
@barari I hope that that’s the case, last year we got tickets for four shows... 🤣🤣 Now I’m happy with just one... 😇😇
They haven't said yet if there's going to be an audience, I heard that in the football game of Netherlands vs Latvia in Sunday they had an audience of 5000 people so hopefully there'll be an audience in ahoy in May
How many people can be there in the arena?
"Eurovision will come back stronger than ever next year" then you are not talking about the songs LMAO
I love the song of the group Equinox - Bones
😍🙏🥰
1:06 OUR QUEEN♥️Let's go AZERBAİJAN🇦🇿
Samira Afandi 🇦🇿🇦🇿❤️❤️
*Ding* *Dong* Cit Jungkook
I have a feeling with this that a live audience will not be possible/ or that only people living in Rotterdam will be able to watch the shows in person, that's why they prepared this: "to make you as close to the action as possible". 👀
Greece 🇬🇷😍vote for Stefania! Last Dance
Wait, why Krista? What about Nikkie?
AZERBAİJAN I LOVE YOU❤❤❤❤❤
Will the online livestreams be region-locked? Sincerely, Your International fans!
How about you finally tell us whether there will be any audience admitted at the venue or not? Yes, it's 2021 and the pandemic is still here, still with the actual number of vaccine doses and the epidemiological forecast one can at least tell whether an event will take place live or just online? We'd love to book flights and accomodation, you know. Thank you.
will the live shows be available for american and canadian fans this year or will we be have to use a vpn again?
So it’ll be like watching live tv? And there will be a winner at the end? When does it start?
🇦🇿🇦🇿Azerbaijan-Mata Hari🇦🇿🇦🇿
Wait... Is Krista replacing Nikki..?
YES THE FAN RECAP IS COMING BACK!
Oh oh oh oh oh ding dong
UK hun? 😆
You say Ding Dong but I don't see any Bing Bang Bong or Sing Sang Song.
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Azerbaijan is winner in this year 🇦🇿❤️🇹🇷
When I saw “Ding Dong” I immediately thought about Dana International. Ding Dong say no more, I hear silent prayers and it’s make me high and fly.... 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
GREETİNGS FROM BAKU/AZERBAİJAN 🇦🇿💙
I am looking forward to Krista's reports.
Oh man I love to see Eurovision Song Celebration returning for 2021! I had so much fun filming the fan recap clips - hope to see a lot of creative minds for this year's edition just like I did last year
Можно пояснительную бригаду . Не до конца поняла .
Я так поняла в связи с ковидом без зрителей в зале и онлайн но это не точно
Great news, thank you! xxx I've got a couple of other ideas I'd like to see. A Eurovision Hall Of Fame we could vote on, with the winner being honoured in the interval of the grand final. Also a "Road to Eurovision" show featuring the best of the non-qualifiers for those of us who struggle to keep up with the national finals.
I liked the Eurovision live concerts from last year. I'd like to see pre-2020 acts come back to sing from their homes 😊
Can I watch in the US?
Yes in Eurovsion YT canel. Here
It's getting exciting 😍
THE FAN RECAPS ARE BACK BOIIIIZZZZ 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good luck to each country this year, i wanted to come, but damn covid-19 destroyed all my plans, hope it will be better in the year, and ends soon. What was i hearing here?...was that not our Song, which the ESC Jury just put almost in last places on GrandFinale at ESC18? Funny. Really Funny. Thanks Audience and Viewers for your Vote. It was happened because of the popularity of that song, and because of you) Melovin - "Under The Ladder".
Always nice to see Krista again, just the energetic person we need!
JA JA DINGDONG
I just Krista's song marry me in the radio today, for the first time. THis is creepy coincidence
LETS DO THIS HURRICANE 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️
So why are the gay people so obsessed with Eurovision? Is that just because it's kitchy and flamboyant?
I always enjoy the ESC. Unfortunately, I live in the United States, so I can't attend in person.
@Jacob Roberts Right. You better stay home.
@Марк Эйнштейн Americans won't go to Europe, because WE are afraid of getting a European strain of coronavirus.
@Jacob Roberts Europeans are afraid that you would spread a new strain of coronavirus.
@Марк Эйнштейн I wish I could attend, but I realize I can't. Thank you for writing in English
Americans are not welcome to Europe now. Please stay home.
Stop blocking US viewers please 🙏
Europe doesn't like American policies in the Middle East and elsewhere, that's why they keep blocking in you.
Bones ❤️
I miss Eurovision last year because of the pandemic, I can't wait for it
The fuego🤩
my question is: when
*Only 50 days to go......*
How will it look like? Singers live without audience?
Yes or a very minimal local audience.
So will it be watchable on ISworlds in America, unlike most of other years Eurovision’s?
I like how they still use the bangers from 2018!!! 😍
I want the Eurovision Home concerts again :((
hehehe i’m so excited !!
So like...can they let Americans watch Eurovision, all three shows this year?
Azerbaijan will definitely win!!!🇦🇿
Please bring Fire Saga on Stage!!! Play Ya-Ya Ding Dong!!!
LOVE FROM GREECE!!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!
Dance alone 💃💃💃👯♀️🕺
Yay another amazing fan-recap 😍
Can I watch this year's contest live on ISworlds
Azerbaijan the best🇦🇿❤️
Əlbəttə😌♥️🇦🇿♥️
Will it be streamed live in USA or geoblocked again? 😔😏
❤🪆
The Celebration thing sounds really good! It would have been such a waste had they just put those performances in the archives.
The fan thing is the cringest thing ever, why have they do it?🙄
Fuego!!!! 🔥
@I suck at math i will never forget these moments in Lisbon!!!!
Still remember that before the rehearsals she was in the bottom of the ODDS and a NQ. She surely gave Europe some fuego.
Who would have to won last year? I picked Serbia. This year I am picking Finland or Italy.
@AYTOL who was your pick then?
Serbia winning Esc 2020? They would have been lucky to end top 15
Don't you mean Ding-Dang-Dong? UK hun?
there’s one thing I don’t understand. when and where will we be able to watch the song celebration with the 2020 entries?
They already uploaded that last year. It was a video where all the songs were shown in the order they would have performed at Eurovison 2020.
I miss rotterdam so much and I miss being in Eurovision venue.. I wish I could just teleport myself to Rotterdam
İngilis dilinde bilənlər zehmet olma qisa tercumə ederdiz ne deyir.? 😌🤗 Bu il qeyd olunacaq.?
Mene maraqlidiki bu vidioda necdeyirlər)))
@Yalcin Berber orasını bilmirəm amma belə şəraitdə yəqin ki olmayacaq
@Joseph tamadacilarla olacaq.?
Bu il olunacaq 18i 20si və 22si isə böyük final olacaq)
I was about to ask if we’ll ever see the live on tape performances should all acts be present in Rotterdam
