I have to say I'm surprised at how indifferent people are to this song. That chorus is so damn catchy and easy to sing along to! I really hope it grows on people and qualifies.
Lots of people love it too i’ve seen :)
I love it! It really is so catchy, I have been listening to it non stop on Spotify since it was released!
It's ok tho.. many people seem to like this entry more than last year's
i love deban’s references, he gets music
Time to time. His reaction to repondez moi was ridiculous
I wasn't a fan of Hooverphonic's entry 2020, but this year they're really bringing it! It's fire🔥🇧🇪🔥
I totally agree. Really love this
I couldn't vibe with their song last year for some reason, but this one is in my top 5 right now!
Haha i like this year and also this
If Eurovisión was a festival where quality had a chance to win, this song would be a winner.
Quality, sophisticated, nostalgic...
A song that I will keep on listening after the Festival.
The Belgians don't win, they don't even always make it to the finals, but one thing you have to admit, with their entries from the last seven years, they have given eurovision a new vibe.
Not the Johnny Cash T-Shirt😭☠️
This is my kind of song tho. I really Love the mood and melancholic feeling of it
Hooverphonic were my number 1 last year, and their 2021 entry works even better for me! I just love how it shows their classical sound, makes the song very unique. This is something to listen apart from Eurovision and it stands out on competition itself, gives it some quality. Belgium doesn't fail to impress every year, keep it up, guys!
Absolutely brilliant song, this is real music, beyond just fireworks. Once again Hooverphonic is serving us quality and I am loving every second of it!
This is pretty good, better than last year, still need to see how those vocals work live but I think this can go to the final.
As a belgian, one thing that I'm not concerning about are the live vocals. Geike will deliver live. I just wish the staging will be good for once.
@@Rihanna2901 Belgium had some really good staging sometimes, Rythym Inside in 2015 and Whats the preassure 2016 were very good on that, so they can do it for sure.
@@Rihanna2901 yes,the staging needs to be good to be remembered in its dark stylish manner with the song,otherwise you know people can let pass some basic dancey song instead of this,usual thing for eurovision
@@alejandropradalozano6525 “they” like every Belgian is the same 😂😂
@@ggbel3320 With "They" Im refering to the belgium delegation obviously.
It's like Belgium DARK chocolate.....
it's dark and gloomy... It's Belgium.....
an acquired taste, and not for all the ESC musical taste buds.
Belgium is in my top 10 for the first time :)
Belgian music is too sophisticated for Eurovision for sure
@@KristinaDragas great. I think it's good, really good.
Ofc I do, ....I love dark chocolate ;)
@@ivanlecky7563 lol...maybe... ;)
Luic Nottet made the top.... al though it was another level ^^
I think I understand now why this song was rated so low. IMHO it deserved top 10. Not top 5 mind you (this year had too many strong songs) but top 10 for sure.
I'm afraid coz of the Norma John Blackbird syndrome : a sophisticated dark song in an overheated arena. I'm Belgian and I lived in Finland. I love it !
I didn’t like that one, I wasn’t surprised it didn’t qualify.
I'm not sure if you noticed that Finnish pop tends to be similar to this. Well, at least dark and a bit edgy.
Very sophisticated pop, I think this takes more than one listen to really appreciated it. It may be one of the better tracks in the contest, as it's not "just a pop song", but rather something with more layers that exists easily outside the Eurovision bubble. The question remains if it has the impact to grab the audience's attention in three minutes on the first go and make a strong enough impression to gather votes to qualify, and, if it does, will it do well in the final. In a way, this reminds me of older Eurovision songs, which is both good and bad. The good is that many of those that did well are more than just your typical pop songs. They relied on much more sophisticated ways to pull you in and engage with you, and many now-classic songs are earworms because of it. The bad is that people don't have the same attention span as they did back then and are looking for that one in-your-face hook that is memorable right off the bat without digging deeper into a song to listen to it more than once, or paying attention on the night to more of the nuances in a song. This may mean it gets lost in the shuffle. It's a lush pop arrangement (Sarah Brightman covered their 1997 track "Eden" and named an entire album after it) and Geike's voice sounds gorgeous. You can certainly get hooked on one listen but it's much less likely to happen with this than, say, Finland, Lithuania or Cyprus.
She's going to have a bad recommendation on Tinder! 😂😂😂😂
the thing with hooverphonic is u have to listen it several times till it gets u. this song gets better the more u hear it. reminds me a bit of their huge hit mad about you- its not that clever but it works for me.
That bride will take us all on a mysterious honey moon to Rotterdam. I enjoyed your reaction W&D as much as the song. Greetings from Oxford xx
I love this entry exactly for the reason that you mentioned - they just do their thing, not trying hard to do europop thing to be likeable to masses. I aprreciate that and actually have this song on 1st place rn
Obviously I am bit biased because I am Belgian myself, but I do understand both comments made in this WiWibloggs video. No, this is not a classical Eurovision song. And no, it might not be an instant earworm. But I do must say how very excited many Belgians are that Hooverphonic is going to Rotterdam with this song.
Geike Arnaert finally returned to Hooverphonic after having been a great solo artist for a while. It's like an old love that never gets worn out. Her voice is one in a thousand, even maybe one in a million. Like the guys are saying here, her presence is very captivating.
Eurovision is a show full of surprises. After the turn of the century in 2000, so many people were counting out the 'founding countries' of the Eurovision Contest for all kinds of reasons. And then Germany, Austria and even Portugal won the contest. It's been since 1986 that Belgium won the contest the last and only time in the history of the contest. Is this song going to win? Maybe not. But I hope for a lot of love from Hooverphonic fans throughout Europe. This song deserves a final spot, because like the guys says: this song is like good wine. It becomes better after the second tasting.
Glad to see you William recover🙏 I love Belgium so much I have this song on repeat🥰
Thank you Dimitris! Am feeling much better!
@@Wiwibloggs That's very good to hear. Please call me James😃❤️
Really really classy song from our beloved neighbors. I love it.
It's underrated, i really like this!! 💖
Belgian Eurovision never fails. Dark yet beautiful music. ❤🇧🇪
Makes me think of Garbage...good old 90s pop rock....love love love😘😍 Belgium you never disappoint...better than last year’s entry
The girl is an amazing singer. This is my no 2. Love it.
I get it, it’s not going to set the world on fire but there’s a place for it. It will provide needed breathing space between higher charged entries and maintains the quality and interest level. Better than last year.
This sounds like a song you'd hear on The Walking Dead as they're walking down the street. I love it!
Love this song. Great video. Love the haunted house!!!
So much better than last year. Looove this song so much. Keep listening to it💕🔥
I love to have this kind of song in Eurovision. I actually added it to my personal Spotify playlist.
A great song! Belgium is creating very cinematic music since 2017
I think we should celebrate those entries who bring quality to the contest. This one is nice, not the best song this year, but we definately need this kind of songs at the contest too.
I love this song and her voice. It reminds me of Leigh Nash from Sixpence None the Richer. :)
I needed a few listens but now I'm in. I hope they get the thrust it needs with the staging.
"Taxidermia realness"
we HAVE to get out of our houses more
llloooollll. i feel ya. i hear ya.
This song reminds me of Cardigan's "Erase & Rewind" vibe.
I really like it. Mood and vibe William mood and vibe 😊 x
Thanks for listening! Glad you are vibing with it!
This reminds me to mid 2000s pop rock kind of sound like Tokio Hotel/ Avril Lavigne that type or Era. I'm with Deban, I like it although I don't know who it's going to do in Eurovision
By far this years biggest improvement from a last year artist.
I agree that it reminds me of Calm After The Storm, I'm surprised how much I like it and I think it could do really well at Eurovision
Class. ♥️
It's quality...
she's so much better live, much more experienced than Belgium's previous entries, I think it's going to be a dark horse
Deban is the best. Zella Day uh TASTE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Geike is back!!!! 🔥
I didn't like the song at first, but now I'm actually liking it. It will really depend on the staging.
Just a tip: Geike is more pronounced as "hey-kuh" (but normally with a Flemish G instead if H).
She's West Flemish, so actually "hey-kuh" is perfect :)
@@jagaimodesu1009 Haha, I should have known 😆 perfect!
Saying in English she prefers “Guy-key”
Love this entry
I really really like this song alot!!! 🥰
Definitely a dark horse! If they get the staging right it could be top 5.
I really love this song and I think it's being underestimated. I just think the staging is going to be amazing and will bring it to life. I also think it's going to be very atmospheric. It definitely has to make the final.
semi 1 is going to be very cut-throat. Should be interesting i think this will make it into the final.
My winner🤩🤩🤩
I definitely agree with Deban. This is a slow-burn piece. Well, it has so much time to burn until Rotterdam. The creepiness has resemblance of Monster Like Me in 2015. Which was Top 10 in my list.
The melody really reminds of me Christina Perri’s Burning Gold. But this song would be cool just with lots of candles.
They are like portishead
Really beautiful song. The more I listen to it the more I like it. Unfortunately as mentioned it competes at the wrong show and people will not appreciate it as much as it deserves.
Will always prefer Release Me because it was so atmospheric but I like this new one.
When are you gonna react to the netherlands?
I also love the cat! ❤️
When can we expect some Sanremo content?
Belgium is one of the best this year!
I honestly preferred last year's entry but this is ok.
Love the vibe of it!
William, Deban do a reaction video of the Netherlands, Jeangy Macrooy 🇸🇷
Oh they will in the end... I’m already dreading the moment 😱 such a huge disappointment
Coming Saturday!
I kinda dig this song. Pleasantly disconcerting (if this is a thing)
Love the chorus but the rest is a bit flat. It doesn't really stand out too much for me.
the Zella Day comparison is spot on
I love that song! I give my 3 points to Belgium 🇧🇪!😃 I want that Belgium will qualify.
Forza Belgium!!!!!!
Nice.. however quite niche for Eurovision .. love the vibe though
Are you guys gonna react to Australia's entry?
I hope they don't just stand on the podium and sing, if they want to qualify they need a strong performance.
It's very "Buffy"
2023 oscar and the wolf
Stop looking further guys ,whe have a winner for the Eurovision contest 2021......BELGIUM !!!
Roxen please.. 💖💖💖💖
Sadly the record label has blocked it :( We uploaded it yesterday. Let’s hope they lift the block soon 🙏🏻❤️
I like it a lot more than last year but I would enjoy it a lot more if the 'Johnny Cash t-shirt'-lyric was not in there. It just distracts me from everything else, in a bad way.
I also worry a lot for the staging...
Same. The tshirt thing just seems weird.
I dont get it, it fits fine for me
Great song.... For the radio. Not for Eurosong. Too mature. But what a great hook.
I can see quality here but it's not my thing. I find it rather boring.
Reaction of ROXEN????When??
Unfortunately the record label has blocked it. We hope they will lift it soon. We filmed and uploaded it yesterday.
@@Wiwibloggs Thanks, I hoope....!
I really want a Romania reaction!!!
I love it. They need to put some wild west gunshots or explosions in it- even though cliche it needs a climactic moment, some mayhem at least.
Romania song reaction?
The record label has blocked the video, so unfortunately we have to wait for the block to clear to publish.
OMG no no no
When Romania?
@appy Ugh that's so annoying!
We wish it could be up :( It's sadly blocked since yesterday.
@@Wiwibloggs That is so sad indeed!! I was so looking forward to hearing your opinion, considering your expertise. Do you think there is a chance it might be up soon, or shall it lie dormant forever?
Deban, I am getting so bored of those typical Eurovision songs and all the girly pop. This is a wind of fresh air for me. I would love to see more non typical Eurovision songs.
I agree with Deban, it's a very good song but not for Eurovision, "The Wrong Place" IS on the wrong place
I'm a littel sad about Luka Cruysberghs she was the singer last year to not be here.
Don't get me wrong the singer is good i just prefer the other singer.
But I still love the song and the new/old singer. My number 7 for now.
By a french big fan of Belgium since 2015.
I waiting reaction for new song Serbia/ HURRICANE Loco Loco.............you late :(
It will be up within the hour 😃
@@Wiwibloggs now I m ok :)))) Kiss
Did you know that they kicked out Luka via a zoom call?! And she had to hear it via News first before they called her!! As a belgian they don’t deserve the fame!!
Oh wow ..
There we go again...
Definitely better than last year, but... it's boring
its boring to me
sorry, but people from 40 to 60 will eat this up.
sorry, but I fall into that demographic and I don't like it
How many of those are in the Eurovision fanbase?
@@Cazlo they don't need to be in the fanbase they just have to watch eurovision and a lot of them tho. eurovision fandom is very small. The Common Linnets were also successful because of that age group.
@@leendertjanw7540 :(
@@HeyHey-yn8cw Yet I don't think KEiiNO won the popular vote because of the elderly. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
I wish William would just listen more and not talk allllllllll the way thru 😒
No shade, I do see quality but who’s guna vote for this in numbers?
Can't, copyright.
Hey @Anne. If we don't talk, the video gets blocked based on copyright. Also, since this is a reaction video we are reacting....I figure if someone wants to watch the official music video they can watch the official music video. Enjoy Eurovision season!
@@Wiwibloggs agree with you :)
@@Wiwibloggs just some constructive feedback after watching you channel for years. Just a overuse of adjectives...no need
is it just me or is this a weak year?
It is not for Eurovision.
Not for eurovision at all!
Without Luca is Hooverphonic dead
Hooverphonic is finally Hooverphonic again. No one comes even close to Geike. NO ONE!!!
boring song
boring AF
Kinda boring song!
I doubt it's memorable enough in a list with 15 - 16 other songs but with good staging we have a chance to qualify
@@plantita3183 yes it might work but Cyprus and Moldova are way more memorable so that's why I'm a bit worried. But I trust they'll bring it with the staging so I'm not all to worried, just a little that it might not be enough.
@@plantita3183 `Moldova is in semi 2.
