Im Portuguese and most years i'm embarassed at the stuff we put out tbh. But 2017 and 2021 were alright! Our second place this year was also better than most years.
A great song, with impeccable vocals. For me one of the best songs of the Eurovisions. Second only; in my opinion to the Icelandic entry (Ten years) This Portuguese entry would be great as a theme song for a James Bond film.
I think that's the main point that separates every Portuguese entry from everybody else. We don't care about points, we care about music quality. I know that imitating chickens gives you a lot of points but, it's not Portugal's thing.
@@cadu2384 firstly you should learn how to write proper English. Secondly no one said that Portugal is interested in winning. Unsuccessful? Seriously? Portugal won the contest four years ago with the highest score ever. A score that no one will be able to break. Get the facts right. 😉
@@cadu2384 Wait and see. So far influencers did only pay attention to electro-dance and likely kinds of trash songs. In the end, people will listen to this song and something's gonna happen.
I am so happy Portugal is sending some good quality music. We've had enough cheap party songs with no soul at all. Come on Portugal you deserve to be in the top 10 this year!
as a portuguese, i dont like the song. but thats just personal. i feel that is missing something...like a climax... the *story behind* the song is what i like about it. it made me cry a bit...
Few people know that RTP accepts other language only since 2017. Although there was a lot of insertion of parts in English in songs in previous editions. Right in 2017 there were 3 songs interely in English, and this eyear 3 again, so I think this people shock is ridículous
With the amount of bop songs in eurivion song contest this year, this song became one of my favourites since the first listening. These vocals, I felt in love with the song!
Thank you for reacting to this! Portugal is way underrated but this song brings so much freshness yet vintage style to Eurovision this year. There's not a single song like this one this year! ❤️
I LOOOOOVE the song, everythiing about it, in particular his voice. I have already become a big fan of The Black Mamba. Their music is on constantly in my home. I love "Too late", "Good times" and several more. Love from Denmark
This song is vastly under-rated. It's a great song & that voice is sheer heaven. I start listening to it & the 3 minutes fly past. Portugal has been fantastic for the last few years, ever since 2017, & they always send very original songs. They were robbed in 2019 & weren't put through to the final. I hope they're not robbed this year.
Greetings from Portugal!!!! I've been expecting you to do a video about Portugal for a long time, I'm so happy I finally hear you talking about Portugal! I fucking love our song and I'm so happy you liked it too!! The Black Mamba is quite popular here in Portugal and the vocalist Tatanka has such a unique voice!! Obrigado!! 💗
All with Portugal, so that it reaches the grand final of Eurovision 2021. It is an insult to Music that this country does not qualify. All with Portugal. 🇵🇹 WINNER France 12 points 🇫🇷
Dear Georgina, thank you for this reaction video. I have been waiting impatiently to hear your opinion on the portuguese song. I share your point of view. This song has an impressive quality that goes from the beautiful instrumental to the singer's phenomenal voice. I don't know about televoting, but I believe Portugal will do very well with the national juries. This is real music made with passion and professionalism. Besides, Love Is On My Side stands out in the middle of so many uptempo songs.
Well u should be proud u like it, there’s a difference between being good for Eurovision and being a good song, this one is a good song. The instruments and the vocals are perfect.
Isto sim, é música!!!!👏👏Pesquisem as músicas dos Black Mamba e vão ouvir música a sério!!! Orgulho por irem representar Portugal!! Obrigada Black Mamba! Para mim já ganharam!!!!!
@JOSE SILVA penso que o comentário original estava a referir-se ao estilo de música produzida pela banda e não o facto de ser cantada em inglês. Em momento algum o comentário diz que a música é melhor ou pior por ser em inglês e não em português. 😶
@@anacardoso8824 desde 2017 que o Festival da Canção permite que sejam apresentadas músicas em inglês. Até porque a Eurovisão só estipula que as músicas sejam cantadas numa qualquer língua europeia.
The Big surprise for sure this year in Eurovision Song Contest. Thx guys for yours amazing international reactions... be different be unique in Eurovision 2021

My Portugal 🇵🇹 😎✌️ Thank you very much for your appreciation and kindness ✨
Great reaction Georgina! This song has such a feel good vibe! The singers voice is indeed distinctive! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Have a great week! Take care!
Greetings from Lisbon! Thank you so much. I loved your reaction and thoughts on the Portuguese song. Much appreciated. I do love this band's work and if this song won't even qualify (among all the bops and bangs), like you said "I don't care" either. Much love. You're wonderful.
@@HonestVocalCoach Thank you so much, professor. I am a student of music, who is currently learning music theory and piano. I am very much pleased by listening to your reaction and to your wise remarks on Pedro Tatanka's vocals. Even though my course does not cover vocals, I still can learn a lot just by listening to your words. Once again, thank you so much! 👏💚
I think it will do great for the jury, not so sure for the public... But i absolutely love it, after 1 or 2 times the "Love is on my side" sticks to your mind and become catchy...but yeah! Thank you so much for the reaction Georgina, this was great ♥️🇵🇹
As portuguese thanks a lot for your kind comments on our song. What most people look for in Eurovision is fast pop, fireworks and glitter and don't even pay attention to the voice. Quality over quantity. Just because you are taking such a different song is not of interest for lots of people.
hey georgina! i just want to let you know that me and my best friend have been huge fans of your videos of ages and we think you're an incredible singer and also your reactions are super entertaining and funny! thank you so much for bringing light into people's lives queen 😍😎🥰😁
I agree with you, Georgina. His voice is outstanding, super soulful. The song is very pleasant, even if it doesn't sound like a winner, supposedly. I much prefer this, or Slovenia 's song, to that boring song from Sweden (which of course will get higher score because they invest a lot of money in the staging, to compensate!).
The vocals are outstanding. I could hear it all day! In fact I think I will ... Can´t ge enough of this song and the message is beautiful and heart warming just what we need in these days. Força Portugal!
I’m loving your videos G! I love how you sing along and demonstrate actual vocal pedagogy. You’re so loving and encouraging- you have great standards in music.
I was already waiting for you to make the video about Black Mamba. I'm a huge fan of your channel and I was super happy for your reactions to this video, Tatanka's voice is a wonderful thing to hear. I know we are not going to win, but all we want to do is represent the music and styles we hear on the streets in Portugal, we make music for ourselves, not for Eurovision. Anyway ... Big hug from Portugal ;)
My favourite performance. He plays with voice and he knows how to do it. I watched few other songs and that's his style. Really keeping my fingers crossed for them. Finally something different.
unique music unique voice. out of the Eurovision parameters. it has quality and I hope everyone understands this because the celebration of Eurovision music is diversity and quality.
Congratulations nce review. These guys can really play and sing, awesome energy, I had the great pleasure of seeing them Live in Teatro Circo/Braga/Portugal, it gives you shills… This is really as they are, not a just a show for Eurovision, Great Job guys, I hope they win, but honestly and more important, I hope this gives them the opportunity to show all the world how good they are.
Uma música como deve ser a representar Portugal, a concorrer com as "pops" do costume, que com mesma sonoridade. Força Black mamba vamos a eles. Força Portugal 😀 A primeira vez que a ouvi na televisão, fui surpreendido pela positiva...fica no "ouvido", dei por mim quando a música acabou, a cantarolar o refrão durante mais um pouco ! A song as it should be to represent Portugal, to compete with the usual "pops", which are allways, the same sonority. Go Black Mamba let's go to them. Strongest Portugal 😀 The first time I heard it on television, I was surprised by the positive ... it is in the "ear", I found myself hum, singing the chorus for a little while longer!!!😀
Mamba here in Portugal means like... partner, o friends for life.... For exemple: "I'm going out with my mambos" it's like I'm going out with my bros or friends. So they are The Black Mambas :) I'm so proud of my country really.
Portugal sticks to high-quality music no matter what
Shame on you.................high quality?
Im Portuguese and most years i'm embarassed at the stuff we put out tbh. But 2017 and 2021 were alright! Our second place this year was also better than most years.
As a portuguese I appreciate that comment even if it is not intirely true
Finally someone who recognizes how good the Portugese entry is. Fantastic feeling, fantastic song. I give it 12 points from Norway.
So do I (from Noway, too). I mine ører - årets beste sang.
:) 1,200 points from Colorado.
I wish Monument won your National finals :(
Thank you so much for your kind words about our song! Best wishes from Portugal ❤️😊
The guy from black mamba? Iconic
This is the first Eurovision song i really liked in all these years. It's pure quality. But i Will still sue you for the other one :-D
Best of luck
This year's best song! Thank you for it, ESC would have been unvearable without it.
This song needs to be in a rom con...in the right film at the ending it would be a classic hit, believe me,
A great song, with impeccable vocals. For me one of the best songs of the Eurovisions. Second only; in my opinion to the Icelandic entry (Ten years)
This Portuguese entry would be great as a theme song for a James Bond film.
Finally a person who understands music! I do not care if it gets few points. This represents us, this represents me! PT
My top 3.
Foi ele q ganhou para ir a eurovisao?
👌Muito orgulho 👏👏👏top👍 top 💪
I think that's the main point that separates every Portuguese entry from everybody else. We don't care about points, we care about music quality. I know that imitating chickens gives you a lot of points but, it's not Portugal's thing.
Estou contigo Nuno! É uma canção poderosa com uma voz incrível!!! PT
*The most beautiful song by Eurovision. The greatest performer - PORTUGAL. My place no. 1 !!!*
Portugal is so underated by fans... I think it's nice!!!
Sorry Portugal doesn't have a chance this year. And one of the unsuccessful country in Eurovision. 🤣🤣🤣

"Not sure if it's a winner. I don't care, I really like it" - Portugal selecting songs for the Eurovision song contest XD
Totally 😂
As a portuguese, I can confirm that this is pretty accurate.
It is not about the show and the same noisy pop songs, it is about music and only good music 👌🏼
Exactly. We vote for Music... not music.
I am so happy Portugal is sending some good quality music. We've had enough cheap party songs with no soul at all.
Come on Portugal you deserve to be in the top 10 this year!
Ended in 12th place, from the public vote.
Yes, that's it exactly. "Love is on My Side" has soul.
Georgina, its the first EVER English only song for Portugal.. quite a shock considering their very long history of Portuguese only.
And it's really really great!!!
as a portuguese, i dont like the song. but thats just personal. i feel that is missing something...like a climax...
the *story behind* the song is what i like about it. it made me cry a bit...

It doesn't represent portuguese language, but represents portuguese made music in an outstanding, brilliant way.
Portugal is the most different - the most dangerous and the so called Dark Horse Song of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021
YESSSSSSSSS!! ❤️
The Black Mamba are already a reference band in Portugal. Search on You tube
I mean, us the neighbours Spain are treated as the clowns xD
@@daselsdis653 Bless, as a Portuguese woman I can tell you, Portugal loves Spain! 🫀
This song is SO GOOD!Supporting Portugal from Greece🙏
This has lots of Portugal, emotion, hope, humanity, crying, live story, love... what a voice for hymn of love !
With the amount of bop songs in eurivion song contest this year, this song became one of my favourites since the first listening. These vocals, I felt in love with the song!
Most memorable song of the evening. When the lyrics and melody of a song make you want to hear it again and again then you have a winner.
Georgina, The Black Mamba is a jazz soul band in Portugal. Their actually a really good band, u should dive in them. Listen to Believe or Wonder Why.
I heared them live once, best decision i made,
Black Mamba was my favourite song.
I m italian.
For me the Black Mamba is the winner!
I soo love this song. When the chorus bit hits after the violins... mop me away, i'm in tears! :D I LOVE it
This is classy...... Beautiful vocals, beautiful lyrics and beautiful man ❤️
Love is on Portugal's side 👍🏻🤩
27 points only from the public, i'm flabbergasted
But not that (the final) night !
Im from Spain.
This song is Wonderfool Masterpiece
This song gives me the creeps. The singer's voice caresses the soul, he is velvet on the skin. Wonderful!
Thank you for reacting to this! Portugal is way underrated but this song brings so much freshness yet vintage style to Eurovision this year. There's not a single song like this one this year! ❤️

Thank you for your great support!! 🙏
I absolutely love this song. I would be very happy if it won.
I hope there are many people like Georgina on the jury so Portugal can qualify
This song is vastly under-rated. It's a great song & that voice is sheer heaven. I start listening to it & the 3 minutes fly past. Portugal has been fantastic for the last few years, ever since 2017, & they always send very original songs. They were robbed in 2019 & weren't put through to the final. I hope they're not robbed this year.
pois é, só que " amar pelos dois " ninguém podia roubar!!! Era forte demais para alguém roubar a vitória a Portugal.
I HOPE NOT too! THIS IS THE ONLY SONG THAT DESERVE TO WIN THIS YEAR IN eurovision!
Music is not fireworks... Music is feeling...
Amen Ana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it’s great with exceptional vocals! It deserves to win. Vote it!
“Loved it, loved it, loved it”...my thoughts exactly.
Greetings from Portugal!!!! I've been expecting you to do a video about Portugal for a long time, I'm so happy I finally hear you talking about Portugal! I fucking love our song and I'm so happy you liked it too!! The Black Mamba is quite popular here in Portugal and the vocalist Tatanka has such a unique voice!! Obrigado!! 💗

His voice is healing, just make me feel zen.
Thank you for your reaction! Beautiful song! Classy voice! Boa sorte!!The Black Manba!
Fireworks aren’t music, this is music 👌🏼 eurovision should be about music...

Totally agree with you. Portugal's entry a beautiful song with that silky voice and I honestly think this should have been the winner.

The voice is beautiful !! This SONG is VERY VERY THE BEST 🇵🇹👏 Oh YES ! YES ..
THE BEST ....
Mamba here in Portugal means like... partner, o friends for life....
For exemple:
"I'm going out with my mambos" it's like I'm going out with my bros or friends. So they are The Black Mambas :)
I'm so proud of my country really.
