This song touched my heart upon first listen. Even though I'm Swedish I feel like a proud slavic woman. All my love to Vesna and their masterpiece of a song.
I'm Brazilian, my great grandfather was Polish, he came to Brazil fleeing the WWI, but this music ignited an honor for a having Slavic blood even though small amount.
The languages used is Czech, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian, each representing a different branch of Slavic languages: Western, Eastern, and Southern Slavic, respectively. The band is also quite international itself (there are Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Russian members), and the song started as celebrating the diversity of the group, and then turned into a more general reflection on the Slavic woman as such. The band embrased the pro-Ukrainian interpretation of the lyrics as well.
@@LawlietYuuki because Eurovision became joke and political competition and also all of the fans are hating on all Russians even tho they have nothing to do with war
@@scouser5039 i the music video, shes the one eating the soup, the soup is traditional ukraine dish and she also said multiple times that she does not support whats happening. i dont see why they should be disqualified
@@penguinbic of course they shouldn’t be but I’m pretty sure many great Russian singers don’t support what’s happening and they are not available to be on Eurovision and fans would hate on them just like they did in 2014
You are not emotionally unstable! This song is beautiful. This song touches on so many topics, but it is made from a place of love for the Ukrainian people. It is at its very core an anti-war song. This is pure art and it is MEANT to move us!
At this moment for me top number 1 is Czech Republic - Just amazing song, good music, nice voices, strong and direct message. ~~~❤CHOOSE LOVE OVER POWER plus WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ❤~~~ the song touches on so many topics… Hopefully it wins Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and let’s go for Prague2024. Will be difficult but let’s go 4 it😅 People, you have just to vote for it !!!
Wow, thank you for defining it as 'pure art'. When I first heard our entry, I knew we were onto something special. I just hope the organisers don't kill our chances AGAIN by putting us on too early. 4 times in the final, we've been in position 1, 2, 3 (in the first half) and the first song on in the second half. So, I'm fully expecting to get screwed by the organisers again. Love from the Czech Republic.
I'm not European, I'm not Slavic but I cry for excitement the first time I listened this song. It's my absolute winner this year. The message is powerful. It's not unstable emotion, it's the power of the music, music is feelings.
There are actually 3 different Slavic languages, each one for a different Slavic language family (western - Czech, eastern - Ukrainian, southern - Bulgarian) so it kinda symbolizes all the Slavic nations, with our similar languages, related culture, traditions, history... related just like the sisters in the video. Plus the members are from various Slavic nations - three are Czechs, one is Slovak, one is Bulgarian and one is Russian (+ they've also collaborated with one Ukrainian). And the song is about the support to our Slavic Ukrainian sister who is in need. I can't even say how happy I am for seeing my country sending this time something more traditional, ethnic, with (also) Czech language... something that I've been waiting for years 🤩 Btw. just to let you know - the group is called after Vesna - an old Slavic pagan goddess of spring and fertility 😊
The chorus is styled as Ukrainian church choir singing and as a Ukrainian I completely adore it and just love the song overall in all of its aspects. My huge gratitude to the Czech Republic for this masterpiece! 🙏🏻❤️
This combination of folk, or ethnic , with modern pop or other genres, is something I am a sucker for. This was no exception. I am so glad there are some entries that are outside the generic and middle of the road entries we have too many excamples of in general.
Completely off-topic, but you might like Sorten Muld. They do danish folk songs with an electronica backdrop. Or maybe the swedish-finnish Hedningarna?
I noticed that (for women especially) the moment where "Lady Ukraine" releases herself from the Stick-men, that is the moment where everybody tears up. And whether or not that has to do with personal experience (projecting memories of when you as a person felt trapped or unsafe) or the hope for Ukraine's "escape", I mean, I don't know which one it is, but that's a similarity that I noticed in all video's. If someone cries, it's thát moment.
The chorus really set something really deep in me too. the use of czech, english, bulgarian and ukrainian is such a great use of the idea that "the medium is the message". "се́стро" in the Ukrainian chorus, the vocative form, so "o sister" in english makes it very clear who they address their song to as well. really really layered and interesting.
This is one of the most powerful songs from this year's ESC, I love it. Top 10 material for me, I got stunned even at the very first listen and even if I don't know a single word of Czech language (I'm Italian). Then I looked at the translation and I was even more emotional at subsequent listens. Well done, Vesna! And Rachel, don't be embarassed just because you shed some tears, your reaction was pure and that's what makes you lovely.
My sweet Rachel there is nothing embarrassing about crying because of the power of music. Actually is magical and cathartic and genuine. You are such a tender soul and I loved your reaction! It’s fine with me if either Vesna or Blanca Paloma win the contest this year. Both songs are masterpieces! ❤
I think she apologised for the use of 'fuck' in the video, which she bleeped out. As a Dutch person however, I don't see the need to apologize for swearing. xD
I heard this for the first time in the semi finals performance and it blew me away. The harmonies in the chorus really work so well and I can feel the emotions.
I love your reactions Rachel! Not just musically professional but really genuine too. I love Spain and Czechia this year too! I don't think any other countries will beat them from first and second place on my list.
Vesna has to win the ESC. I voted for them and I will again in the finals. Their message is so important und beautiful as well as the song and also.. for fuck's sake Czechia has to WIN sometime! FINALLY some Czech lyrics and traditional elements in their song! Please everyone - let Czechia know how beautiful and wanted their language and traditional music is so they keep up with stuff like this and take it further until hopefully someday there is a song completely in Czech and completely (or at least mostly) traditional! Czechia has such a wonderful culture and it's so sad noone in the ESC got to see it all those years. And even now it's not only Czech, it's slavic. I'm so in love with Czechia, especially the language and traditional music for 2 years now. So much that I'm even learning the language, although it's really hard xP But I just love it. I think in general ESC should be less mainstream and more traditional and truly representative for each country! Greets from Germany
Thank you. Sorry for my english. Im from czech republic and I can confirm that many jung people at my age (me too) are very influenced by english, many of our singers sing english and we all listen more songs in deferent languages than in our. I think we feel like our language isnt good enough and we are forgoting how beautifull it can bee. Im really glad someone is learning our language and thinks its beautifull, many off my classmates should hear this. Thank you.
@@marianavanacova6112 I'm so happy I could make it clear that there are (many!!) People who think Czech is such a wonderful language and who are learning it just because of that(and from so much countries!)! Please tell everyone you know! I think Czech should be so much more known and appreciated internationally. And Czechs themselves should appreciate their language and their culture so much more, because it's so beautiful and unique💜😊 why do you feel like it wasn't "good enough"? That's totally incomprehensible to me... I know Slovaks are very proud of their culture and language, but why aren't Czech people? Also, please don't apologize for your English, it's good!🤗 Měj se pěkně😊
Gosh, Rachel, so agree with everything you said. This is really special, I was kind of moved emotionally by this too. The layering of the chorus is almost like a religious chant and it totally thrills me. The ESCZ live final had a really poor sound quality but they certainly look like they can present the idea on stage really well. This, AND Spain !!! We might be in for a good year
I cried listening to it for the first time as well. It shows how moving music is and how much of a message can be portrayed. It's an incredibly beautiful song!
Yep, the best I've heard so far. Lively, meaningful, musically interesting. So much character throughout the song! 10/10 And can I just say, spending Eurovision season with you and your community is one of the highlights of my years past. Can't wait for more!
Thank you so much for the really honest and heartfelt reaction. I cry when I listen to the songs a few times too, the music, melody, chorus, lyrics, meaning, everything. This song is a real standout for me and I am happy we have different songs in ESC that can make us feel so many emotions all at once 😊
I started crying so hard when I watched the music video the second and third time and realised what the song is about. I saw so many hints that are connected to the current war in Ukraine. This song really touched my heart 🥺.
I noticed the same in many Reactionvideo's from women that were watching the video, the moment "Ukraine' (Lady in Red) frees herself from the purple men's sticks, many women tear up.
именно такая реакция 😭 у меня была, когда впервые увидела эту песню и услышала текст...ни один другой участник Евровидения этого года так не трогал 👏 (from Belarus💙)
Definitely the best so far. 12 points from Serbia, and I don't even care what their performance will be like. I love being a Slavic woman ❤️💙🤍 "We are not your dolls" 💪
I love watching Eurovision reaction videos for yours and only now I have found yout channel. I've been missing out! Wow, I think your kind of musical analysis and personal and emotional liking are really great and it makes watching your videos a lot of fun. And I am actually learning as well. Actually mesmerizing to see the music hit you. Thanks for your wonderful videos, and please keep giving these authentic reactions! And about the contest, Czechia is my favourite 🙂
It’s so good to be back and talk about Eurovision. I remember watching your videos last year. I would spend a whole weekend watching those and here we are again. Eurovision brings me so many good memories. This particular song is my favorite so far. I’m excited to listen to the others!
I like that you showed how emotional this song made you, that is the beauty of eurovision, the ability to connect to people through music even though we may not speak the same language.
I also cried the first time I heard it! And it rendered me speechless. Hopefully they'll manage to translate that angelic sound and powerful visuals to the live stage as well. I feel like this is a song that the world simply neeeeds to hear, and I have faith they'll do really well this year.
It is fabulous when a song can move someone to tears. This song is a musical feast for your ears. I am looking forward to seeing the stage version and am intrigued to how they'll stage it. Really hope people appreciate how great the song is.
I recommend reading the lyrics while listening, IT MAKES THE SONG SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL (as if it's possible) the message, and the imagery will make sense, it does make you BAWL your eyes out 🤧
Love your review, how well you can describe everything and your feelings about it.. This song also makes me cry ❤ I think I've listened to it about 100 times in the last week.
You are emotionally perfect. If only you knew what I see in that face and those kind eyes. You are intelligent and I value all that goes into your input. There are few humans that make me kind these days, but you are everything and more ❤ Just wanted to reassure you
Greetings from Greece!!! Indeed such an important message from such a powerful performance! Their live performance on the Eurovision 2nd semi-final was amazing! This song not only has vocal harmonies that blend so well but also carries an important message about violence against women - a truly global issue and one that my home country is not immune to, as we have seen an alarmingly high number of such cases in the past couple of years. Thank you for reacting!!!
Vesna recently released an acoustic version of My Sister's Crown. If you haven't listened to that already that one might also hit you emotionally, it's gorgeous!
At this moment for me top number 1 is Czech Republic - Just amazing song, good music, nice voices, strong and direct message. ~~~❤CHOOSE LOVE OVER POWER plus WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ❤~~~ the song touches on so many topics… Hopefully it wins Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and let’s go for Prague2024.

@@Ogeroigres Are you Czech? I'm only asking because my Czech friends all still use "Czech Republic" when speaking English and when I asked about it they said nobody really says Czechia irl. They are all millennials fwiw.
@@janearny I always said Czechia to begin with, because in my language it's Tsjechië. Officially it would be "de Tsjechische Republiek" but obviously "Czechia" is só much shorter, so everyone just says that version. Not that we mention Tsjechië often, but if it happens, it's Tsjechië or in English, Czechia.
I felt quite similar, I think we got the message in the core of the song, they're singing of a sisterhood, but also the Panslavic feeling about the current situation and it reflects that. It's one of my favs of this year.
Girl I have the same exact reation and I don´t even speak any of the languages other than english. The Chorus gets me EVERY time. There hasn´t been a single song that emotionally touches in that way without involving lyrics. Genuine goosebumps. I fear it won´t make it far in the contest but it sure as hell is one of my personal favourites
I'm glad somebody noticed the deepness of this song and the elevate level of its meaning. The video is great as well. Full of symbolisms. I have goosebumps everytime I listen to this song. Plus, they're all girls. I don't know why but this gets me even more emotional.
Im really curious see how they end up staging it, ESCZ was a bit of a slop this year but hey, first year with a live nf will do that. I really like the song and Im sure it can do fantastic in Liverpool. Currently my second place, 10/10
Rachel, this song is an absolute masterpiece. No wonder it made you cry 😀 Dare I say it’s better than Lights Off …? In some ways, yes. That bit that starts at 2:09 which made you go “Wow” - that got me too, especially the second time through when all the synths come in full power. It’s the highlight of the song for me. I watched the performance of this song at the national selection final, and found it a little bit bit clunky and awkward, performance-wise. But I have high hopes that somebody’s going to choreograph something good for Eurovision. It can’t not qualify for the final, can it?
I got goosebumps the first time I heard the chorus, I'm obviously not the only one... Amazing song, one that will definitely be remembered through the years and it has a powerful and important message!
You should also search for song interpretation to see more widespread view on this song. As far I know. Vesna is a folk band - Vesna is a pagan Slavic God. In the band there are Czech, Slovak and Russian girls (i hope i didn't make a mistake). This song is kind of anti-war song. They have inspiration by Slavic culture but it is more universal for Slavic countries I think and not limited to one nation. For me this song has also connotations with feminism. I think it's quite good inspiration of discussion about taking power by women to change spoiled old men energy. Besides for example Poland is She. In Slavic culture woman has also quite specific position. In Polish catholic church we have strong God Mother cult as she takes care of our country. Somehow for me is a calling for being united and not forgetting that we all in the region are Slavic nations and we should be together and not getting into conflicts. Of course there is a connotation with war in Ukraine. That war has strong impact on Poland, Czech Republic or Baltic States and other countries in the region. And of course there is a mix of languages - Czech, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and English.
This is one of the most stunning music videos I have ever seen, creepy, powerful, colourful, just incredible. And the song the voices are spectacular together with the beat. Finally, a strong political message - I would fight against the dark side with this song in the back...... a very strong contribution, stunning.
Esta canción es escandalosamente preciosa. Cada vez que la escucho, me emociono igual que la primera vez. No eres la única. Cuando la música es buena, nos llega al alma.
I watched all 37 in their full. This is the winner in my opinion. Loreen is very talented but this is just as good and relevant. When music hits your soul homie that's what your suppose to do. Luv from NYC 🇺🇸
I agree. Loreen is good, but this is way deeper, fresher and all-around better and touches on the NOW as well as the eternal. It's searingly beautiful and soulful in a way Tattoo cannot touch.
It’s the chorus for me. I feel as if I’m floating in an Eastern Orthodox church with angels lifting my soul up with their divine voices. Сестро красива Ой ти сильна Хоробра єдина Корона твоя
I cried too. I saw it as a cry from all women who are silenced and treated unequally. A cry for Iranian women who died because they dared to speak their minds after years of silence, a cry from for women in war countries who lost everything: children, homes, belongings. A cry to the world to mean: you can take EVERYTHING from us women, but we will still wear our crown as women. I see it as a choral cry to stand united and carry on fighting against all injustices, because we are not dolls. We are human beings.
I'm a German dude, but during listening to the song I am a proud slavic woman 🎼
#UnitedbyMusic :)
😂
Yooooo Schwestaaa 🎉
Go Dude, you're op 😁👍
I feel the same! xD
😂😂😂
This song touched my heart upon first listen. Even though I'm Swedish I feel like a proud slavic woman. All my love to Vesna and their masterpiece of a song.
It touched my heart to. My number one right now and I'm also Swedish. A big round of applause to Vesna.
I'm Brazilian, my great grandfather was Polish, he came to Brazil fleeing the WWI, but this music ignited an honor for a having Slavic blood even though small amount.

I'm in love with Vesnas Song since release, my winner for this year ♥️🇨🇿
I have shivers when I listen this song ❤ once again I’m proud on my Country ♥️ it touched my heart this song so much
I think it will be Czechs best score ever and maybe they even have a chance to win.
not embarrassing at all, it has such a powerful sound to it and I was shook the first time I listened to it. It's my #1, I love it.

I agree 100% with you. I listend to it for the first time with you and i enjoyes it very much
Great analysis. A really touchy song which brings tears in the eyes.
Great entry to the Eurovision and amazing video ❤
Love your review, how well you can describe everything and your feelings about it.. This song also makes me cry ❤ I think I've listened to it about 100 times in the last week.
You are emotionally perfect. If only you knew what I see in that face and those kind eyes. You are intelligent and I value all that goes into your input. There are few humans that make me kind these days, but you are everything and more ❤
Just wanted to reassure you
Aw you’re far too kind, thanks 😊
@@ThePeaceAround only to the ones who deserve it
Just randomly got recommended to me on Spotify radio and it’s a jam! Love your reaction
Love your reaction!! Really pure and genuine!!!
Greetings from Greece!!! Indeed such an important message from such a powerful performance! Their live performance on the Eurovision 2nd semi-final was amazing! This song not only has vocal harmonies that blend so well but also carries an important message about violence against women - a truly global issue and one that my home country is not immune to, as we have seen an alarmingly high number of such cases in the past couple of years. Thank you for reacting!!!
Beautiful song❤
I had similar reaction to this song. Very powerful.
Sister beautiful,
oh the mighty,
brave, unique,
your crown.
Love the chorus! I am not sure how I feel about the rest of the song. But I am certain Czechia will do great this year.
Vesna recently released an acoustic version of My Sister's Crown. If you haven't listened to that already that one might also hit you emotionally, it's gorgeous!
At this moment for me top number 1 is Czech Republic - Just amazing song, good music, nice voices, strong and direct message. ~~~❤CHOOSE LOVE OVER POWER plus WOMEN EMPOWERMENT ❤~~~ the song touches on so many topics… Hopefully it wins Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and let’s go for Prague2024. Will be difficult but let’s go 4 it😅 People, you have just to vote for it !!!
Czechia please, no more this "Republic" nonsense.
@@Ogeroigres Are you Czech? I'm only asking because my Czech friends all still use "Czech Republic" when speaking English and when I asked about it they said nobody really says Czechia irl. They are all millennials fwiw.
@@squidink3470 I am Czech. You can use both, Czechia and Czech Republic. In my bubble, we all use the Czech Republic
@@janearny I always said Czechia to begin with, because in my language it's Tsjechië. Officially it would be "de Tsjechische Republiek" but obviously "Czechia" is só much shorter, so everyone just says that version.
Not that we mention Tsjechië often, but if it happens, it's Tsjechië or in English, Czechia.
this song makes me feel proud about being a slavic woman💗
which Slavic country are you from? I'm polish btw.
@@aki_times_tenw takim razie witam z Polski😄
I felt quite similar, I think we got the message in the core of the song, they're singing of a sisterhood, but also the Panslavic feeling about the current situation and it reflects that. It's one of my favs of this year.
OMG popłakałem sie przez ciebie
This is greatness and healing for everyone who can hear it 💕
This is the first song of this year's that I really fell in love with, the first day I listened to it I had it on repeat for the entire night haha
Thanks from Czech Republic for this reaction :) Your reaction is same like mine, this is strong song 💜
I love this song so much. Definitely my number one this year!
I actually loved your reaction, congrats from Spain
I love this entry. Simply beautiful, well-sung and it reflects on Czech soul
I love that you didn't cut out that you started to cry. This is just what great music does, it can touch our hearts ❤
Girl I have the same exact reation and I don´t even speak any of the languages other than english. The Chorus gets me EVERY time. There hasn´t been a single song that emotionally touches in that way without involving lyrics. Genuine goosebumps. I fear it won´t make it far in the contest but it sure as hell is one of my personal favourites
It's not embarrassing at all! I was crying with you :) It's really moving. And you are so right about what you said about music. Music is my love :)
never say "don't cry again" to yourself!! Your emotions make you who you are and yo uare perfect
I'm glad somebody noticed the deepness of this song and the elevate level of its meaning. The video is great as well. Full of symbolisms. I have goosebumps everytime I listen to this song. Plus, they're all girls. I don't know why but this gets me even more emotional.
Thank you. ❤️
Nice performance this year
Finally, great Czech song for Eurovision. Especially for me as historian.
All Sisters of the world (not only Slavic ones) Choose love over power!
In my ideal world "Eaea" wins, but "My sister's crown" comes in close second and gets to be played on the radio 10x more than any other song.
I'd accept that world. :D
My top 2 too :)
joining your club!
Carpe Diem is in my top three, along with eaea and my sisters crown
Im really curious see how they end up staging it, ESCZ was a bit of a slop this year but hey, first year with a live nf will do that. I really like the song and Im sure it can do fantastic in Liverpool. Currently my second place, 10/10
The sentence:Choose love over power is beautiful.Vesna did a Great job
Rachel, this song is an absolute masterpiece. No wonder it made you cry 😀
Dare I say it’s better than Lights Off …? In some ways, yes. That bit that starts at 2:09 which made you go “Wow” - that got me too, especially the second time through when all the synths come in full power. It’s the highlight of the song for me.
I watched the performance of this song at the national selection final, and found it a little bit bit clunky and awkward, performance-wise. But I have high hopes that somebody’s going to choreograph something good for Eurovision. It can’t not qualify for the final, can it?
This song has something i like. Very unique i think. So many songs to listen. Eurovision is here!!!
I got goosebumps the first time I heard the chorus, I'm obviously not the only one... Amazing song, one that will definitely be remembered through the years and it has a powerful and important message!
After such a powerful and meaningful song I feel this year's Czech entry "Pedestal" is such a downgrade and letdown.
You should also search for song interpretation to see more widespread view on this song. As far I know. Vesna is a folk band - Vesna is a pagan Slavic God. In the band there are Czech, Slovak and Russian girls (i hope i didn't make a mistake). This song is kind of anti-war song. They have inspiration by Slavic culture but it is more universal for Slavic countries I think and not limited to one nation. For me this song has also connotations with feminism. I think it's quite good inspiration of discussion about taking power by women to change spoiled old men energy. Besides for example Poland is She. In Slavic culture woman has also quite specific position. In Polish catholic church we have strong God Mother cult as she takes care of our country. Somehow for me is a calling for being united and not forgetting that we all in the region are Slavic nations and we should be together and not getting into conflicts. Of course there is a connotation with war in Ukraine. That war has strong impact on Poland, Czech Republic or Baltic States and other countries in the region. And of course there is a mix of languages - Czech, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and English.
This is one of the most stunning music videos I have ever seen, creepy, powerful, colourful, just incredible. And the song the voices are spectacular together with the beat. Finally, a strong political message - I would fight against the dark side with this song in the back...... a very strong contribution, stunning.
girl I want to cry too 🥺
Cool work!
Esta canción es escandalosamente preciosa. Cada vez que la escucho, me emociono igual que la primera vez. No eres la única. Cuando la música es buena, nos llega al alma.
I watched all 37 in their full. This is the winner in my opinion. Loreen is very talented but this is just as good and relevant. When music hits your soul homie that's what your suppose to do. Luv from NYC 🇺🇸
Right? Loreen didn't really bring anything new this year imho. These sestras did ☺️
I agree. Loreen is good, but this is way deeper, fresher and all-around better and touches on the NOW as well as the eternal. It's searingly beautiful and soulful in a way Tattoo cannot touch.
Agree one hundred percent
It’s the chorus for me. I feel as if I’m floating in an Eastern Orthodox church with angels lifting my soul up with their divine voices.
Сестро красива
Ой ти сильна
Хоробра єдина
Корона твоя
I cried too. I saw it as a cry from all women who are silenced and treated unequally. A cry for Iranian women who died because they dared to speak their minds after years of silence, a cry from for women in war countries who lost everything: children, homes, belongings. A cry to the world to mean: you can take EVERYTHING from us women, but we will still wear our crown as women. I see it as a choral cry to stand united and carry on fighting against all injustices, because we are not dolls. We are human beings.
the harmonies are something else
The song did the same to me ! It’s so epic ❤
