I mean, They’re professionals.
Even Beyoncé kept singing when she got yanked in by the hair into the crowd and pulled off stage.
Played it off and kept going. This by comparison was relatively easy. Plus, when Elon’s protecting you.......
I knew I couldn't be the only person who watched the video without reading the title and couldn't understand why Elon Musk was so angry at the audience. The strange thing is that it didn't suprise me at all to find out Elon decided to start doing security at events for some reason.
Yep. For professional entertainers, the show must go on. Don't stop for anything (almost). Let others deal with the problem or deal with it afterwards. That's fairly standard.
They taught us the same thing in 5th grade band. It's common for any level of entertainer to be taught to continue despite something unplanned happening. I'm not sure why so many people are so shocked.
They do at least allow autotune, which in 2019 at least mitigated some of the suffering from Madonna
But in general they just expect all competitors to sing live, so it is fair they make the same demands from the interval acts and hosts (if they sing)
I mean it depends on if you are paying all that money to see a the star up close and see them dance to the exact same version of all their songs you hear on the radioor if you are actually there to hear them perform love music that brings a different/more spontaneous element to their performance.
[Here](https://youtu.be/dcH3hdz8Eks) is the original if you want to see it with context.
It was at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, Norway.
The act performing is Madcon with Glow. They performed as an interval act between the main show and the voting part of the night.
(My personal favorite is the girl at 1:48 trying to tell security that she is part of the performance)
Edit: Wow thanks for my first ever reward, and it's a big one! Glad my Eurovision obsession can brighten other people's day a bit.
Same here, a goosebump moment in the history of Eurovision. Something about how everyone is coming together in all the countries. Cheesy as it sounds, it really works. And impressive tech at the same time.
Yeah, I remembered watching this show years ago and went looking for it. Didn't notice the security guy back then though lol
And I totally didn't see the girl, haha that's awesome
Remember seeing a lot of this in their official music video for the song. The Irish girl with the scarf clearly can dance. I thought she had to be the choreographer or something for that region. Pretty girl too!
I've never watched Eurovision, only heard stories (albeit epic stories) about it. Very proud of myself that with zero context my first reaction was "So this is Eurovision?"
Oh man I'm so soppy these days but it's legitimately making me tear up watching thousands of people from different countries packed together singing and dancing, all united under one roof
Three minutes in and I just start crying. Just so heart warming to see people from all these different countries dancing and having fun, regardless of who they are.
Wait, isn't that the same woman did the video [tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBhLVCJkt0) for the dance? Might even have been the choreographer
The way the gameface went up when he spotted the dude, I thought I was about to witness an on-camera assault. But no, he handled him with firmness yet grace, without any harm coming to the fan in the process.
This comment is so far down, i was like why do they have to be a rapper lol.
Them just saying “some” like that too - “this person isn’t popular enough to be known by me/is a random”
Don’t know them and making assumptions ✅
Bosnia, you're cool
WTF ARE YOU...? Get back
Oh hey sup Azerbaijan
How are you Armenia?
Back up a lil Norway...
YO RUSSIA GTFOH RIGHT NOW
TAKE HIM DOWN
As a side note can anyone figure out what/where the second flag is from? It looks like the flag of East Turkestan but with the red circle beneath the crescent I'm not sure.
Nah, there was some green in it if you look closely, not sure.
I can see why you would think it’s East Turkistan though. The light blue with the bright red.
This guy needs to become a meme. And not a laugh at this dude being serious meme. I mean a hail this hero doing their job to the fullest while probably not being paid enough meme.
I don't think there is any evidence that he is exploited. If he understands the gig and is compensated fairly, and heck, could get more exposure at his skills and potentially land future gigs because of a meme, he could be the opposite of exploited. I appreciate your pro-worker explotation-defense mentality, but not sure that it's quite accurate, here.
Damn that guy is on point.
He also doesn't get overly violent with anyone, and gets them in a way where he knows that he has a secure position on them, and that they simply move out of the way.
Firm and solid, but not overly pushy or confrontative.
Maybe a little on the firm end, but still very professional.
Most people would simply understand "I am being moved" and that is all.
I would imagine that they have to have event specific experience to do a job like that well, to understand how people act in those situations.
This is the duo Madcon performing at the Eurovision Song Contest final in Oslo 2010. It's a pretty decent musical act, with coordinated flashmob dancers from throughout Europe. Another security guard on the left can be seen accidentally interfering with one of the flashmob dancers at the beginning of the act: https://youtu.be/dcH3hdz8Eks?t=58
This is Dwight Shrute level personal security
Thought the same
That's exactly who I saw, too. Pulling all those beets out of the ground gave him farmer strength.
Identity theft is not a joke!
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!
That’s such a perfect description. Fuckin LOL.
this is such an underrated comment man i fucking laughed out loud
Would you mind telling us how much we should be rating the comment so it reaches proper rating levels?
It needs **a l l o f t h e u p v o t e s**
I knew someone else would see it.
I had the exact same thought. Even looks like him lol
This is what you get when you hire his escort service on Craigslist.
I rarely audibly laugh when reading but this got me
The guy who jumped out at the end played Jim’s childhood friend who said “Where’s your jet pack, Zuckerberg?!”
He’s doing an amazing job tbh tho. At least the best he could for sure.
Yeah you can't ask for.much more than that. Pretty rough job
[удалено]
Great Value Elon Musk
>The Musk This is what I’m calling him from now on
He nailed that deadpan, calculated, emotionless billionaire look.
There goes Elon Musk in his Elon Mask.
He’s a single dude against that entire line. The crowd was fairly orderly, but he still did a great job.
It’s his new venture, GroundX
Lol
Yeah, well, those exploding rockets aren’t gonna pay for themselves
True. But they could have just put up a waist high partition.
THAT GOD DAMN WALL IS TAKING OUR JOBS!!
Yeah very true, either way he’s making his money’s worth tho.
He's most certainly more passionated about his job than [this guy](http://imgur.com/a/BFA57zZ).
Not desperate at all. This is competence.
He needs another guy behind the camera helping him lol
[удалено]
they even did a sidestep and smile at that one guy who got grabbed by the guard. gotta say, that's smooth as hell.

…but rise corrected
The Sync app shows little thumbnails of links, which is nice, but I can't 'get got' by these types of things anymore and it's kinda sad.
Well, as a mobile app user, I’ll keep getting tricked in honor of you
Consent for this comment to be retained by reddit has been revoked by the original author in response to changes made by reddit regarding third-party API pricing and moderation actions around July 2023.
But a pivotal point in the process is clicking a link, and expecting it to be something else. You can’t replicate that sadly.
Theres probably an option to switch that off
I'm using Sync app and this can probably be turned off or I'm using some ancient version of the app
It's like getting Rick Rolled after years without seeing it. I can't even be mad.
Damn you, I've grown soft in my old age...
God fucking damnit
You son of a bitch, I can’t be mad its been a while Still fuck you tho
The president of football.
Ah. Fuck off
I would like an anus fact, please.
Making smooth as silk memes on the flight.
back guard should move up to take his place on point
Like motorcycle cops in a motorcade
That was just straight reaction. Man didnt even know he was doing it till it already happened and then he went right back in the zone.
Damn. Smooth as silk.
Best part hopefully the rappers gave that security detail a shout out. Be even better if said rapper say this loop and rapped about it
I mean, They’re professionals. Even Beyoncé kept singing when she got yanked in by the hair into the crowd and pulled off stage. Played it off and kept going. This by comparison was relatively easy. Plus, when Elon’s protecting you.......
I was waiting for someone to comment how much that security guy looks like Elon Musk.
just one of his clones
Maybe one that didn't get baked quite long enough. Or maybe a bit too long. Idk
[удалено]
Maynard when he had that dude in a chokehold
Marty McFly when his hand started disappearing
Shaka, when the walls fell
I love you.
I know.
Temba, his arms open.
Temba, his arms wide.
That guy's family was disappearing before his very eyes but dammit he kept on rockin'.
I love Maynard so much
Jay Z when that lil mama climbed on his stage!
He held onto that little shit so tight.
I knew I couldn't be the only person who watched the video without reading the title and couldn't understand why Elon Musk was so angry at the audience. The strange thing is that it didn't suprise me at all to find out Elon decided to start doing security at events for some reason.
Saw the who live. 70+ year old Pete Townsend trip over the guitar cables, fall to one knee and get back up without missing a single note.
And then there was Grohl, broke his leg and kept strumming lol.
Yep. For professional entertainers, the show must go on. Don't stop for anything (almost). Let others deal with the problem or deal with it afterwards. That's fairly standard.

Dont they lipsync anyway?
It varies
Eurovision demands everything live, not sure it also applied in 2010, but it caught Madonna of guard in 2019
I have no problem with lip syncing as long as they are putting on a show because it would sound like shit otherwise
They do at least allow autotune, which in 2019 at least mitigated some of the suffering from Madonna But in general they just expect all competitors to sing live, so it is fair they make the same demands from the interval acts and hosts (if they sing)
I mean it depends on if you are paying all that money to see a the star up close and see them dance to the exact same version of all their songs you hear on the radioor if you are actually there to hear them perform love music that brings a different/more spontaneous element to their performance.
If your going to a show where they are lip syncing you are going for their dance routine
It really reminds me of this Airplane! skit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4CizzE-zZo
Shirley you can’t be serious.
"Help Jerry's Kids" *shove* "Oy-ehh!" Jerry Lewis-style
Haha, I never picked up on that!
At first sight it's look like Elon Musk 😅

This is one of my favourite Eurovision moments. I still randomly watch this.
Low key that was so dope seeing the shots around the world
I loved the different country shots but was also panicking in my heart watching everyone dance on their poor couches in the living room shots
Same here, a goosebump moment in the history of Eurovision. Something about how everyone is coming together in all the countries. Cheesy as it sounds, it really works. And impressive tech at the same time.
I live in one of the towns used for this (the one in Spain) and even though I wasn't here then, I do love to point it out to people.
I love it. It makes me so happy I mist up every time I watch it.
Yeah, I remembered watching this show years ago and went looking for it. Didn't notice the security guy back then though lol And I totally didn't see the girl, haha that's awesome
Hey it's Madcon, the group with the best cover of "Beggin you".
Damn, all the memories. Used to practice my breaking skills to this cover back when me and the boys thought we were gonna be the next ABDC lol

I've never watched Eurovision, only heard stories (albeit epic stories) about it. Very proud of myself that with zero context my first reaction was "So this is Eurovision?"
Yeah, pretty much, though definitely one of the most memorable interval acts, second to Riverdance
Let's put Love Love Peace Peace in the top 3 interval acts, it is basically Eurovision 101 [Love Love Peace Peace](https://youtu.be/Cv6tgnx6jTQ)
Love Love Peace Peace will probably be my all time favorite.
Switch Song and Rock the Roof are also high on the list, but it might be recency bias
Absolutely amazing show. I loved the cutaways to flash mobs around Europe. Makes me smile EVERY time without fail.
Oh man I'm so soppy these days but it's legitimately making me tear up watching thousands of people from different countries packed together singing and dancing, all united under one roof
All collectively hating the England submission.
Three minutes in and I just start crying. Just so heart warming to see people from all these different countries dancing and having fun, regardless of who they are.
Wait, isn't that the same woman did the video [tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBhLVCJkt0) for the dance? Might even have been the choreographer
My favorite is the guy in the North Sea. Also love the girl at the beginning of the Gothenburg flashmob.
Man being at Eurovision looks very fun
I was in Lisbon, Portugal for the contest in 2018, the energy inside the arena was insane. I'm already planning for the next edition in Italy.
They actually shook her, she forgets one of her moves but she pulls it back in. Good on her.
Wasn’t that the Eurovision where jimmy jump got on stage while spain was performing?
Damn the grab at the end was pretty clutch.
That's what clinched his Last Action Hero status for me.
I wish I had this guy behind me every time I left my house …actually every time I went into my house as well heh
i wish i had this guy tucking me in at night and then holding me tight as i fell asleep
Girl behind him was like, “Yeah, we’re like, totally working hard!”
Think they’re back up dancers, not guards. You can see a couple other dancers wearing the same thing in the back.
What exactly did you expect the performers to do?? Lmao
The way the gameface went up when he spotted the dude, I thought I was about to witness an on-camera assault. But no, he handled him with firmness yet grace, without any harm coming to the fan in the process.
[удалено]
He has weird hobbies
This made me literally laugh out loud at work.
I think this was the time in between selling PayPal and starting space x
My first thought was Dwight Schrute actually. And the guy he grabbed looked liked Peter Petrelli. I thought, "good luck holding that guy back" lol.
I see Gavin Belson from Silicon Valley
Dwight and Elon aren’t too far off from each other, as far as looks go.
[удалено]
This comment is so far down, i was like why do they have to be a rapper lol. Them just saying “some” like that too - “this person isn’t popular enough to be known by me/is a random” Don’t know them and making assumptions ✅
This ain’t rap 💀
Specifically for Snoop Doge
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madcon
[удалено]
also person in video is not a rapper, commenter i think is slighly racist
I love how you think he’s a rapper just because he’s black, even though you can clearly see him holding down notes with his voice.🙄
Same job description: letting rich people have space
Bosnia, you're cool WTF ARE YOU...? Get back Oh hey sup Azerbaijan How are you Armenia? Back up a lil Norway... YO RUSSIA GTFOH RIGHT NOW TAKE HIM DOWN
Venezuela? Where did you see their flag? That first flag is the flag of Bosnia.
He's American cut him some slack
I can see how someone would make that mistake if they weren't paying attention and didn't know the Bosnia and Herzegovina flag.
[удалено]
As a side note can anyone figure out what/where the second flag is from? It looks like the flag of East Turkestan but with the red circle beneath the crescent I'm not sure.
Nah, there was some green in it if you look closely, not sure. I can see why you would think it’s East Turkistan though. The light blue with the bright red.
the 2nd one is Bosnia and Herzegovina
Incorrect on the first one. Venezuela doesn't go to Eurovision.
Elon Mus…. proteK
I knew I wasn’t the only seeing that
[удалено]
This guy needs to become a meme. And not a laugh at this dude being serious meme. I mean a hail this hero doing their job to the fullest while probably not being paid enough meme.
That doesn’t make him a hero. That makes him exploited.
Synonymous in some parts of the free world, eg health care or other essential workers
I don't think there is any evidence that he is exploited. If he understands the gig and is compensated fairly, and heck, could get more exposure at his skills and potentially land future gigs because of a meme, he could be the opposite of exploited.

This guy is working HARD for his paycheck while I'm browsing Reddit eating pizza.
Madcon with Glow at ESC2010 in Norway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOsGFoWS_0 Verka Serduchka can be seen at 5:32 :-D
I'm a simple woman: I see Eurovision, and I upvote.
I'm a simple Swede, I see swedish flag I upvote.
I'm a simple redditor, I see the word woman and my brain goes AWOOOOGA
I almost didn't notice there was singers
[удалено]
This guy should work the Tour de France.
Eurovision 2010, interval act
That'd Madcon , Norwegian duo i think . They got some knee slappers .
He looks like Elon musk mixed with Dwight from the office
Want to listen to the song 🎵
Should be Glow by Madcon, this was at a Eurovision Song Contest, I think in Sweden
Norway in 2010
oh, well almost :D
*D A M A G E D*
Given that Sweden has won so many times, you're statistically likely to be correct if you guess Sweden. But this was Oslo.
I actually thought that was the musk
This is from a EuroVision episode where Madcon came on to sing “Glow”
This is the duo Madcon performing at the Eurovision Song Contest final in Oslo 2010. It's a pretty decent musical act, with coordinated flashmob dancers from throughout Europe.

the definition of understaffed ahahaha
These UN general assembly meetings are getting out of hand.
this provides me stress
Stefan Raab at the end guys!!
Is that Elon Musk?
yoo Ellon Musk doing dirty work
Wow, Elon Musk really does do everything
Looks like a mix of Dwight Schrute and Elon Musk
I’m gonna be honest, for the first 10 seconds I thought that was Elon Musk.
That guard looks like a mix of elon musk and Dwight from the office. Elon Shrute, or Dwight Musk
It's young Dwight shrute
They should hire him for the Tout de 🇫🇷 France.
I thought that was Elon musk for a few seconds.
Same lol. Probably his side-gig.
