Honestly this year is really good. I usually download maybe 9 or 10 songs but this year I’m downloading 25. The standard is amazing. Whoever wins needs to be so proud because there is tough competition
OMG! This year is sooo strong, I mean, it's probably the strongest year for the long time... :D I more or less like almost 70-80% of the songs.. Last year I liked something about 15 songs from all 43...
I am spaming your Video. Lols. This year feels like so many countries finally understood not to be afraid of being different. This year we get dreamy songs. Rocksongs. Dancy songs. Ethnic songs. Relaxing songs. Fun songs. Sad songs. Country songs. I mean what the hell do we want more. This is how it should be. It even doesnt matter who wins. I can even appreciate San Marinos song. 😂😂
You're the best Eurovision reacter I have ever watched. I like your comments as I agree with you on most of them and you don't insult anyone, you're so grateful. It's not hard to see that you're a real fan! P.s. you should sing dude!
Alesia Michelle, You are always extremely entertaining.😄 And beautiful! Always be sincere and positive.I love you beyond the flesh and the bones! ❤️❤️❤️
My top 15 from Portugal: 1. Portugal (And no, it's not because it's my country) 2. Latvia 3. Israel 4. Hungary 5. Belgium 6. France 7. Estonia 8. Greece 9. Bulgaria 10. Italy 11. Cyprus 12. Germany 13. Spain 14. Switzerland 15. Finland
My Top 15: 15. Spain/France (the first one is sweet and low key magical, but it's kinda fading to me...the second one is impactful, I love the lyrics and the message but not the song itself, like musically, it's kinda monotonous and the singer is kinda dull) 14. Germany (I don't really feel it, it's so ed-ish and I don't like sheeran's music, but I can't place it lower, cause objectively is that good) 13. Russia (it's good, it's catchy that's all, I'm into it) 12. Armenia (I'm kinda disappointed, but low key I really like it, it's not that strong and the live performance was kinda empty but I have hope) 11. Bulgaria (it's not my fave and I don't really like the first singer's vocals, but it's impactful) 10. Israel (Queen, like wdf she slays!!!) 9. Finland (I love Saara so much, she's one of my fave vocalists but I'm scared about the performance and the result) 8. Ukraine (I can't understand what he's singing but the whole package is there, the performance is so edgy and I'm really into it) 7. Sweden (that's so catchy, yeah it's one of the same but I can't stop listening to it, it's growing to me every day) 6. Belgium (elegant and great vocals..I hope this will be delivered well on stage) 5. FYR.Macedonia (there's nothing bad I could say about this entry, the best of fyrom, really interesting structure and they HAVE to qualify!!!) 4. Portugal (sweet, smooth, pretty and so on, it's mesmerising) 3. Cyprus (maybe I'm biased cause it's Eleni like she's everything, but she's sooo damn good and the song is catchy, stuck in my head) 2. Greece (i really like my country after many years and I didn't see that coming!) 1. Estonia (no comments like...please win already)
Hi Alesia! You win! Your singing is so beautiful. I loved when you sang “lugaaaaaaaar” for PT entry. Perfect. Lisbon will deliver you a big Welcome and great time!
I like how the past three Austrian entries have people running down some hill or mountain. Granted, only Nathan and Cesar were running on a snowy mountain.
Hungarian rock music is actually so good? I remember I discovered some of their rock bands from 70' like a couple of years ago,. and it was so unique. I really recommend some digging on a subject, totally worth it. I also need to say that I'm surprised by the quality of the entries this year, it seems likeit's going to be a great competition.
Alesia... I had not seen this video before today. I finally find someone that I agree with 100%. I mean it.Enjoy Lisbon... you are going to fall in love with that city. It’s pure magic!
Usually, when I listen to some songs from this list, I always am negative about it and then I get less excited for Eurovision 2018. But now when I listen to your opinion, I always get more excited, idk why! I just love listening to your opinion because it’s always Positive!
After I saw this reaction I acctually don't have a TopTen anymore...there are so many good songs. It's more like there are only 5-10 songs that I don't like. Great reaction video, Alesia!
8:14 Every single song is a banger, but then whoops, Iceland comes along. But at least now I know during which song to go the bathroom. Positive thinking y'all
How does this have 10k+ views and you only have 5K subscribers? I don't understand how people don't fall in love with your personality!! Great video as always!
Lion When Germany sends good entries, they get rewarded, see Lena and Roman Lob. Dont know how Michael will do in a such competitive year but hes certainly gonna better germanys recent results.
You should send something in German! I listen to a shitton of German bands, so the pop songs in English do nothing for me at this point. This year's song is fine, but not amazing either.
Eurovision Tales na, how do you explain 2015? Ann Sophie's Song was by far no winner song, but 0 points wasn't deserved. It was by FAR not the worst song in the grand final and it's the same thing with 2016. You basically just can't say that we get rewarded when we send good songs. Excuse me, but that's just not true
Janett Juuse Israel is a song that you will soon get tired of. A little too hysterical for my taste. This is no song that I will listen to in my headphones or dance to. Choking like a hen 🐔 is just too much ~ this is not talent at all.
I don't like either one of them. They are both in my bottom 5 actually. Israel is far and away my last place song and France I find completely underwhelming for the hype. There are so many better songs.
Oh my gosh, it’s amazing how your reaction to almost every songs agrees with mine ones. Plus, your “lip sync” for the Greek song is awesome, I can’t do it
This year may not have as many stand-out front runner entries like in 2015 or 2016 but this year EVERY single song is well-produced and credible in some way. That's why this year is one of the best years because there is a certain quality to the entire cohort of entries
I feel so much second-hand embarrassment at Norway, I swear I can't even, no country deserves this... but probably they will qualify xD My top 3: 3. Greece (superb, ethnic, the feeling in the song translates even without knowing the language, it takes me back to when I visited Greece :) ) 2. France (yes it is political, but lyrics are so wisely put together and hit you like a train unlike Italy whose lyrics are too linear, and why shouldn't Eurovision showcase messages like these, there were several songs about war in the past, and at the end of the day this is a song about... mercy :) ) 1. Estonia (tears of joy, opera is my soft spot ok? kind of music that makes you want to get out there and live the great life) *please win* Other songs I like: Netherlands (waving at my top 3, I didn't like Calm after the storm, but this yeeeaah), Ukraine (despite the bad english, great energy and charisma), Latvia (so good, so underrated), Belarus (there is a darkness in this song that I like, and his voice is different), Denmark (guilty pleasure), F.Y.R. Macedonia (cute pop song), Hungary (yeeeeeaaaaah), Portugal (biased, but love our entry, cried the first time I heard it) and a few more.. I like a lot of them this year :D Looking forward to your top Alesia :) xx
First: if USA should ever follow Australia's example - Alesia HAS to be the live reporter :). Second: what do we do if Norway wins? He's cute, people buy the act.
Awww thank you so much! The song contest does come on TV here in the states but they have two random presenters who don't have the historical perspective or LOVE for the song contest which is unfortunate. What do we do if Norway wins? Look... I won't be attending. #kanyeshrug.
Ugh feel the same way about the random presenters (tbf I prefer the base stream without localized commentary). Wish Eurovision would catch on more here, but at least I've dragged my family along for the ride now going on five years!
We used to get Terry Wogan's commentary. He was funny-ish, but talked during the songs. Then Julia Zemiro, first just locally, and eventually got to report live. So Alesia, you never know.
I'm so happy that first,you loved my country's Song from Greece and secondly that you liked as you said on your previous videos,Cyprus Song from Eleni. She's from our country to :)
TOP 10 IS: 1. ISRAEL - TOY 2. CZECH REPUBLIC - Lie To Me 3. UNITED KINGDOM - Storm 4. BELGUIM - A Matter Of Time 5. AUSTRALIA - We Got Love 6. BULGARIA - Bones 7. SWEDEN - Dance You Off 8. CYPRUS - Fuego 9. FINLAND - Monsters 10. NORWAY - That's How You Write A Song
I get so excited when I see your videos pop up! I love the Eurovision community, it's going to be such a great year! I just randomly happened to be up til 3am looking at psychic predictions as is normal and someone said Estonia will win and they posted it on the same day the national competition started there. I'm not saying I'm superstitious but someone owes me 50 if Estonia loses.
Albania: Underrated. Amazing vocalist. 9/10 Armenia: Great voice as well. Pretty song. 8/10 Australia: Pretty generic, but not bad. 7/10 Austria: Great and current. 'Human' vibes! As you said in another video, hope he adds some runs. 8/10 Azerbaijan: Also pretty generic, but it does get stuck in my head. 7/10 Belarus: Gorgeous. Sounds like an 80s ballad. And that's a compliment. It's compelling. 9.5/10 Belgium: Expected more, but a decent song. Don't really like her sound. 7.5/10 Croatia: Okay song. It lacks power though. 7/10 Cyprus: It's getting annoying to me. Not really my cup of tea. Nevertheless, it's a decent effort. 7/10 Czech Republic: This is fun. He is likeable and will do great. 7.5/10 Denmark: Great anthemic song, but I don't feel the urge. 8/10 Estonia: She makes me like opera. Impactful. 9/10 F.Y.R. Macedonia: It indeed is better than last year. SO damn catchy. 9/10 Finland: Not a fan of her voice. The song is catchy. 7/10 France: Beautiful. Might have heard it too often, but still love it. 8.5/10 Georgia: I love it. It draws me in. Beautiful. 9/10 Germany: Great entry. FINALLY GERMANY. Heartfelt and honest. 8.5/10 Greece: Yes. This is magic. 9/10 Hungary: Damn. Great. 8.5/10 Iceland: Corny and dated. Like the bridge though. 6/10 Ireland: My favourite song this year. Very nice timbre, understated song, but so sweet and mesmerizing. 9.5/10 Israel: I get why people love it. I think it's just okay. Sometimes it annoys me. 7/10 Italy: Nice entry. 7.5/10 Latvia: LOVE. Passionate. And she has an awesome voice. 9/10 Lithuania: Pretty and sweet. Voice sounds a bit forced. 8/10 Malta: Nah. Typical song for Malta. 6.5/10 Moldova: It grew on me, because it's fun. Still not really into it. 6/10 Montenegro: Ethnic, but not strong enough. 6/10 Norway: JESC. And indeed, this is not how you write a song. 5/10 Poland: BORED. Heard this song a million times before. Simple. 5/10 Portugal: Damn. This is so relaxing and her voice is smooth. 9/10 Romania: Weird structure. Don't get it. 5.5/10 Russia: Dull, I don't get why she sings in English. I think it would be way more personal if she sang in Russian. 5/10 San Marino: Eh. Yeah. I don't like the production. 5/10 Serbia: I like this one. It's different and sounds great to me. 8/10 Slovenia: This sounds cheap and trashy to me. Don't like the drop either. 5/10 Spain: Very nice song. What an upgrade compared to last year. 9/10 Sweden: Very well produced pop song. Probably one of my favourite pop songs in the competition. 8.5/10 Switzerland: Doesn't really go anywhere. 6.5/10 The Netherlands: My country, so I am biased. I think it's great, but not really my cup of tea. 8/10 Ukraine: Monotonous and a bit flat. Okay song. 6.5/10 United Kingdom: Simple song. Not the worst. 5.5/10
When France came out, it became my favourite. Then Spain came and became my favourite. Then it was Denmark, Ukraine, Estonia, and now there's about 20 songs that I love and wouldn't mind if they won!! This is an amazing year. My current top includes, apart from the ones mentioned above, Macedonia (my favourite), Greece, Bulgaria, Austria, Azerbaijan, Australia, Belgium, Serbia, Switzerland, Moldova, Armenia, Albania, Belarus, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Poland... and my own country, Portugal 😘 love and best of luck to everyone
This year you didn't guess that good as last year Alesia...you said Belarus can't miss the final..just look at Lithuania it's almost topping betting odds to win the contest.. ;) And I'm so glad we qualified despite you said it won't pass (Serbia) :D :)
Complicated but great year, it seems that anything can happen. Bulgaria must have prepared a whole package and anticipated a strong show that will elevate the song. It has potential to be epic. Israel has to deliver the song on stage, create a party and not be messy. Greece will have to be impactful on stage to be really competitive but the song is really stunning and the language sounds beautiful. I am afraid for Russia, I do not see Julia singing live. Songs that I love so much but do not know what will happen: Portugal, Ukraine and Slovenia!!!
12:25 PORTUGAL ... I feel so much this is the dark horse again... Portugal dont have the strong video special effect's like other's countries... it's most real... let see... thjis is a contest and i feel more and more this project... i believe so much in a good surprise in the reharsal's and stage and... :) feeling .... i love ALL countries like almost all the portuguese people... peace and love... LISBON ATLANTIC SEA... WE LOVE ALL !!! ALL A BOARD... :)
Alesia Do you know what the Greek song is about? Now, look at the pictures of Lisbon's stage... it was made FOR THIS SONG. With that song and a great staging that images the powerfull meaning of the lyrics, the performance can instantly outmatch all the others... I pray for it. 🇬🇷
Just like me, you loved almost every song. I think it's harder to call who will qualify over who will win. Potential winners for me so far are Czech Republic, Israel, Estonia & Belgium :) Good luck to all
I don't know how you see this year as competitive, pretty much all the songs are average or are trying to be average, hats off to some of the other songs (Israel, Estonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, The Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium(tho i don't like them), Greece and France, these songs are unique)
Alesia Michelle Yeah, you're right about that, and if we look it that way the semi final 1 will be more competitive than the final P.S. I discovered you last year, and I love your videos, and I would love to chat with you when the Eurovision is going
dear Alesia it seems to me that you love most of the entries if you had to choose only 7 finalists - you must pick the most inspiring entries would you take the challenge?
Alesia, i don’t know if you remember me... hehe but if you have time, can you make a top 10 video? (After the show) or break down the jury and televote results.... I’m missing your new videos!!!!!
As a Polish person I have to say that our entry sounds like a throwback to summer 2015 :P And I love the reaction to Norwegian song - just NOPE. Btw - "Hvala, ne" means "thank you, no" so it's basically the "thanks but no thanks" song ;)
you're right ... it'S a competitive year. There are somany good songs this year. Normally I have like one or two favorites and a bunch of songs that do anything to me ... this year ... it's like, the first song I heard was denmark's and it's instant love and I think I already have my winner. Then I hear hungary, then belgium, then greece and ... if it goes right, by the end of it, we'll have a finale of great songs and I'll actually enjoy the entire ESC-night with not a single song I think is boring in between.

Was there Equinox?
He, he; you got to be the most enthusiastic eurovision fan ever!
This was my favorite year. All the songs were just great. Israel deserved to win, actually.
Israel definitely deserved the "W"
Honestly this year is really good. I usually download maybe 9 or 10 songs but this year I’m downloading 25. The standard is amazing. Whoever wins needs to be so proud because there is tough competition
OMG! This year is sooo strong, I mean, it's probably the strongest year for the long time... :D I more or less like almost 70-80% of the songs.. Last year I liked something about 15 songs from all 43...

I love Belarus,Italy,France,Greece,Israel,Portugal and Denmark!!
You're the best Eurovision reacter I have ever watched. I like your comments as I agree with you on most of them and you don't insult anyone, you're so grateful. It's not hard to see that you're a real fan! P.s. you should sing dude!

Thank you always giving love to The Netherlands
Thanks from Portugal! You sang that part when Cláudia said "lugar" so well!♡

Hi Alesia! You win! Your singing is so beautiful. I loved when you sang “lugaaaaaaaar” for PT entry. Perfect. Lisbon will deliver you a big Welcome and great time!
I like how the past three Austrian entries have people running down some hill or mountain. Granted, only Nathan and Cesar were running on a snowy mountain.
jlhabitan50 Zoë video actually also had a snowy winter scene 😂
Thanks from The Netherlands! I love this year’s entry also!
Alesia: "The modulation to nowhere"
hehehehehehehahahahahahahahaha
BEST LINE EVER! xxx
Hungarian rock music is actually so good? I remember I discovered some of their rock bands from 70' like a couple of years ago,. and it was so unique. I really recommend some digging on a subject, totally worth it.
I also need to say that I'm surprised by the quality of the entries this year, it seems likeit's going to be a great competition.
Alesia... I had not seen this video before today. I finally find someone that I agree with 100%. I mean it.Enjoy Lisbon... you are going to fall in love with that city. It’s pure magic!
Thank you that you liked our song Alesia. Greets from Greece!!
THANK YOU from Portugal :D : D Love you! and love your voice.. want to ear you sing the full song of "o jardim"
PLEASEEEE!
Great video, as last year, very fair and intelligent review - thanks! :-)
this year is actually good, i always worry at the beginning, i had no need to worry
Usually, when I listen to some songs from this list, I always am negative about it and then I get less excited for Eurovision 2018.
But now when I listen to your opinion, I always get more excited, idk why! I just love listening to your opinion because it’s always Positive!
After I saw this reaction I acctually don't have a TopTen anymore...there are so many good songs.
It's more like there are only 5-10 songs that I don't like.
Great reaction video, Alesia!
For me, my top 5 would be:
5. Estonia
4. Switzerland
3. Sweden
2. Israel
1. Belgium
Adore Belgium's song this year!
8:14 Every single song is a banger, but then whoops, Iceland comes along. But at least now I know during which song to go the bathroom. Positive thinking y'all
sending loads of love from Greece
Albania is underrated because of their music video, imagine that song with different music vid.
Wise Alien oh well, you're wish has come true
That was not my wish, that was my opinion. I'm not a big fan of that song.
Wise Alien I see.. you were right though. The music video really lifted up the song
Albania needs support from people who normally don't care about esc to go through. I really hope they get it, because they are my favourite this year.
@@mirakjemo1768 well.. i mean albania got support from the juries more than non eurovision fans
Thank you for reaction to all songs Alesia! This will be epic year for ESC! My favorite is ESTONIA! Love from Latvia!
Thank you for watching! :-)
Are you me? I think I agree with you in every single song. Really good reaction!
Thanks for watching and please share! :-)
Did you know you got yourself some very loyal Portuguese fans? I am one of those :D Prepare yourself for some selfies in Lisbon.
Amazing reaction, such strong songs! My winner right now is Romania. Lots of love from Bulgaria
Belgium and denmark and urkraine and norway and netherlands my favorits
LOL you made my day with your reaction to the Bulgarian entry! Thank you for your feedback sweetheart!
How does this have 10k+ views and you only have 5K subscribers? I don't understand how people don't fall in love with your personality!! Great video as always!
7:22 "But y'all won't give it any points, I already know"
Yep, I'm from Germany and trust me, to already know that, it's literally so depressing xD
Lion When Germany sends good entries, they get rewarded, see Lena and Roman Lob. Dont know how Michael will do in a such competitive year but hes certainly gonna better germanys recent results.
You should send something in German! I listen to a shitton of German bands, so the pop songs in English do nothing for me at this point. This year's song is fine, but not amazing either.

It was by FAR not the worst song in the grand final and it's the same thing with 2016. You basically just can't say that we get rewarded when we send good songs. Excuse me, but that's just not true
Lion It wasnt the worse song but sometimes indifferent is worse than bad. Plus come on, she was showing her arse off for the half of the performance.
I love the way you react Slovenia. The comments about previous song stop suddenly, and she starts sharing the rythm.
Why everyone is so hyped about Israel and France 😕
Janett Juuse Israel is a song that you will soon get tired of. A little too hysterical for my taste. This is no song that I will listen to in my headphones or dance to. Choking like a hen 🐔 is just too much ~ this is not talent at all.
Sussi B yep, this is what I also tought.
I don't get France at all :D And almost always France is hyped, but almost never gets high place.
Because they are both good songs in their own way.
I don't like either one of them. They are both in my bottom 5 actually. Israel is far and away my last place song and France I find completely underwhelming for the hype. There are so many better songs.
My top three:
1: Benjamin :D
2: BONES!!
3: HVALA NE!
ahh this year going to be so good. Can't wait-
Thank you for supporting my native country Bulgaria! We MUST win now!
Oh my gosh, it’s amazing how your reaction to almost every songs agrees with mine ones. Plus, your “lip sync” for the Greek song is awesome, I can’t do it
Liked and subscribed. I instantly liked your channel.
Thank you so much!
Oh my god i just subscribed and ur so funny hahaha
Thank you!
Good job Alesia. Hugs from Brussels, Belgium.
. i was .. curious about this list ! this year we have quite similar taste :) i liked your face expressions during certain countries :) cheers !
This year may not have as many stand-out front runner entries like in 2015 or 2016 but this year EVERY single song is well-produced and credible in some way. That's why this year is one of the best years because there is a certain quality to the entire cohort of entries
I feel so much second-hand embarrassment at Norway, I swear I can't even, no country deserves this... but probably they will qualify xD
My top 3:
3. Greece (superb, ethnic, the feeling in the song translates even without knowing the language, it takes me back to when I visited Greece :) )
2. France (yes it is political, but lyrics are so wisely put together and hit you like a train unlike Italy whose lyrics are too linear, and why shouldn't Eurovision showcase messages like these, there were several songs about war in the past, and at the end of the day this is a song about... mercy :) )
1. Estonia (tears of joy, opera is my soft spot ok? kind of music that makes you want to get out there and live the great life) *please win*
Other songs I like: Netherlands (waving at my top 3, I didn't like Calm after the storm, but this yeeeaah), Ukraine (despite the bad english, great energy and charisma), Latvia (so good, so underrated), Belarus (there is a darkness in this song that I like, and his voice is different), Denmark (guilty pleasure), F.Y.R. Macedonia (cute pop song), Hungary (yeeeeeaaaaah), Portugal (biased, but love our entry, cried the first time I heard it) and a few more.. I like a lot of them this year :D
Looking forward to your top Alesia :) xx
First: if USA should ever follow Australia's example - Alesia HAS to be the live reporter :). Second: what do we do if Norway wins? He's cute, people buy the act.
Awww thank you so much! The song contest does come on TV here in the states but they have two random presenters who don't have the historical perspective or LOVE for the song contest which is unfortunate.
What do we do if Norway wins? Look... I won't be attending. #kanyeshrug.
What do we do?
Cry.
Ugh feel the same way about the random presenters (tbf I prefer the base stream without localized commentary). Wish Eurovision would catch on more here, but at least I've dragged my family along for the ride now going on five years!
We used to get Terry Wogan's commentary. He was funny-ish, but talked during the songs. Then Julia Zemiro, first just locally, and eventually got to report live. So Alesia, you never know.
If Norway wins, accept the fact just likewise you would do to any other country..... or am I wrong ?
I'm so happy that first,you loved my country's Song from Greece and secondly that you liked as you said on your previous videos,Cyprus Song from Eleni. She's from our country to :)
TOP 10 IS:

I was waiting for this video....😀
Michael Magdalasidis hahaha! Yay!
Alesia Michelle Thank you for the good words you said about Greece by the way.👍
This is one of the reactions that have so much in common with my own opinion on the entries this year...
watching you lip syncing the greek lyrics made me smile
I get so excited when I see your videos pop up! I love the Eurovision community, it's going to be such a great year! I just randomly happened to be up til 3am looking at psychic predictions as is normal and someone said Estonia will win and they posted it on the same day the national competition started there. I'm not saying I'm superstitious but someone owes me 50 if Estonia loses.
Omg your voice is really good when you sing ..Kisses from Greece 😘❤️
Albania: Underrated. Amazing vocalist. 9/10
Armenia: Great voice as well. Pretty song. 8/10
Australia: Pretty generic, but not bad. 7/10
Austria: Great and current. 'Human' vibes! As you said in another video, hope he adds some runs. 8/10
Azerbaijan: Also pretty generic, but it does get stuck in my head. 7/10
Belarus: Gorgeous. Sounds like an 80s ballad. And that's a compliment. It's compelling. 9.5/10
Belgium: Expected more, but a decent song. Don't really like her sound. 7.5/10
Croatia: Okay song. It lacks power though. 7/10
Cyprus: It's getting annoying to me. Not really my cup of tea. Nevertheless, it's a decent effort. 7/10
Czech Republic: This is fun. He is likeable and will do great. 7.5/10
Denmark: Great anthemic song, but I don't feel the urge. 8/10
Estonia: She makes me like opera. Impactful. 9/10
F.Y.R. Macedonia: It indeed is better than last year. SO damn catchy. 9/10
Finland: Not a fan of her voice. The song is catchy. 7/10
France: Beautiful. Might have heard it too often, but still love it. 8.5/10
Georgia: I love it. It draws me in. Beautiful. 9/10
Germany: Great entry. FINALLY GERMANY. Heartfelt and honest. 8.5/10
Greece: Yes. This is magic. 9/10
Hungary: Damn. Great. 8.5/10
Iceland: Corny and dated. Like the bridge though. 6/10
Ireland: My favourite song this year. Very nice timbre, understated song, but so sweet and mesmerizing. 9.5/10
Israel: I get why people love it. I think it's just okay. Sometimes it annoys me. 7/10
Italy: Nice entry. 7.5/10
Latvia: LOVE. Passionate. And she has an awesome voice. 9/10
Lithuania: Pretty and sweet. Voice sounds a bit forced. 8/10
Malta: Nah. Typical song for Malta. 6.5/10
Moldova: It grew on me, because it's fun. Still not really into it. 6/10
Montenegro: Ethnic, but not strong enough. 6/10
Norway: JESC. And indeed, this is not how you write a song. 5/10
Poland: BORED. Heard this song a million times before. Simple. 5/10
Portugal: Damn. This is so relaxing and her voice is smooth. 9/10
Romania: Weird structure. Don't get it. 5.5/10
Russia: Dull, I don't get why she sings in English. I think it would be way more personal if she sang in Russian. 5/10
San Marino: Eh. Yeah. I don't like the production. 5/10
Serbia: I like this one. It's different and sounds great to me. 8/10
Slovenia: This sounds cheap and trashy to me. Don't like the drop either. 5/10
Spain: Very nice song. What an upgrade compared to last year. 9/10
Sweden: Very well produced pop song. Probably one of my favourite pop songs in the competition. 8.5/10
Switzerland: Doesn't really go anywhere. 6.5/10
The Netherlands: My country, so I am biased. I think it's great, but not really my cup of tea. 8/10
Ukraine: Monotonous and a bit flat. Okay song. 6.5/10
United Kingdom: Simple song. Not the worst. 5.5/10
Tom Hesen admit it we all skipped to our own country in this comment , thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
Hello you hahah, I actually watched the entire thing! Still love Ireland! :)
LOL I love your reaction to Norway, glad Im not the only one!
As I saw from your lips you had 100% correct pronunciation in Greek! Do you know Greek?
Anti Komformistis Ha! I do not know Greek but this song is great! I love it
Love your videos!
When France came out, it became my favourite. Then Spain came and became my favourite. Then it was Denmark, Ukraine, Estonia, and now there's about 20 songs that I love and wouldn't mind if they won!! This is an amazing year. My current top includes, apart from the ones mentioned above, Macedonia (my favourite), Greece, Bulgaria, Austria, Azerbaijan, Australia, Belgium, Serbia, Switzerland, Moldova, Armenia, Albania, Belarus, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Poland... and my own country, Portugal 😘 love and best of luck to everyone
Good Reation Alesia ! like your comments.... you are a pro !
17:09 I thought you will say "You disagree? Well that's on you! " LOL (from Detox) ♥
This year you didn't guess that good as last year Alesia...you said Belarus can't miss the final..just look at Lithuania it's almost topping betting odds to win the contest.. ;)
And I'm so glad we qualified despite you said it won't pass (Serbia) :D :)
This is why I say staging matters... If you saw my live streams I turned around on Serbia, Lithuania, Greece and Belarus.
Coming from 2023…. Wow 2018 was just such a strong year 🔥
Exactly...
Complicated but great year, it seems that anything can happen.
Bulgaria must have prepared a whole package and anticipated a strong show that will elevate the song. It has potential to be epic.
Israel has to deliver the song on stage, create a party and not be messy.
Greece will have to be impactful on stage to be really competitive but the song is really stunning and the language sounds beautiful.
I am afraid for Russia, I do not see Julia singing live.
Songs that I love so much but do not know what will happen: Portugal, Ukraine and Slovenia!!!
12:25 PORTUGAL ... I feel so much this is the dark horse again... Portugal dont have the strong video special effect's like other's countries... it's most real... let see... thjis is a contest and i feel more and more this project... i believe so much in a good surprise in the reharsal's and stage and... :) feeling .... i love ALL countries like almost all the portuguese people... peace and love... LISBON ATLANTIC SEA... WE LOVE ALL !!! ALL A BOARD... :)
If you look for the best song,the best voice and the x factor than only one country delivers that.the NETHERLANDS wauwwwwwww
Alesia Do you know what the Greek song is about? Now, look at the pictures of Lisbon's stage... it was made FOR THIS SONG. With that song and a great staging that images the powerfull meaning of the lyrics, the performance can instantly outmatch all the others... I pray for it. 🇬🇷
I’m happy to see you liking many songs
Ukraine's song is in English.
I love your reaction !
I hate it when everyone is so good, like can people be good and bad on different years to make it easier for me to choose
Thanks from Hungary! 💚 ❤
I want that Albania qualify because I love that song but can't understand why is so underrated...
Super Star Albania is underrated almost every year we will never win even if we send Dua lipa or Rita ora famous singers lol
In the future we will remember 2018 like a good year with amazing songs.
Just like me, you loved almost every song. I think it's harder to call who will qualify over who will win. Potential winners for me so far are Czech Republic, Israel, Estonia & Belgium :) Good luck to all
Whoever wins be it someone who sings in their native language (the same applies to UK & Ireland). That's all I ask for.
I don't know how you see this year as competitive, pretty much all the songs are average or are trying to be average, hats off to some of the other songs (Israel, Estonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, The Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium(tho i don't like them), Greece and France, these songs are unique)
Actually, the fact that many of the songs are similar genres/styles is exactly why it is competitive.
Alesia Michelle Yeah, you're right about that, and if we look it that way the semi final 1 will be more competitive than the final
P.S. I discovered you last year, and I love your videos, and I would love to chat with you when the Eurovision is going
dear Alesia
it seems to me that you love most of the entries
if you had to choose only 7 finalists - you must pick the most inspiring entries
would you take the challenge?
My top 10 is coming out VERY soon... ;-)
13:51 Nova Neca xD
Thanks for your reaction
Ukraines song IS in english 😂😂😂
Hahahaha :D It shouldn't be. :|
Rab She knows, but just the fact that it's a good song without being able to hear what he's on about proves that you don't have to sing in English.
"hdkdshuhgkjsdhdfksjf whatever the weather ksdfjhdskjf always fear wo o o. And it has always been now or never, that akjdshakjsdhdsjkh to be made."
Hahahah! The last part is: "that decision has to be made", but that's all I can tell, too! :D
Alesia, i don’t know if you remember me... hehe but if you have time, can you make a top 10 video? (After the show) or break down the jury and televote results.... I’m missing your new videos!!!!!
I loved that you could move your lips like singing the Greece's song!!
As a Polish person I have to say that our entry sounds like a throwback to summer 2015 :P And I love the reaction to Norwegian song - just NOPE. Btw - "Hvala, ne" means "thank you, no" so it's basically the "thanks but no thanks" song ;)
I’m from Ireland and We really need you we haven’t qualified in the past few years please try audition for Ireland in 2019
You are so funny Alesia and a cute singer too!!! . Love your comments. MJ
Greece and Belarus are my favourites. If any of those two win I'll be happy.
SantaSmiles same
Sameee
Not to mention how amazing you are 😍 Anyway, when is your top 10 coming out?? I just can't wait 😅
*Bones* is (title) my favourite song from Eurovision 2018
you're right ... it'S a competitive year. There are somany good songs this year. Normally I have like one or two favorites and a bunch of songs that do anything to me ... this year ... it's like, the first song I heard was denmark's and it's instant love and I think I already have my winner. Then I hear hungary, then belgium, then greece and ... if it goes right, by the end of it, we'll have a finale of great songs and I'll actually enjoy the entire ESC-night with not a single song I think is boring in between.
Germany is so great
