The song hit me like a freight train, brought back my memories of being bullied as well. I’m so pleased that he delved into his backstory, it’s now made the song slot more into place. Totally rooting for tix now !
This has been my favourite song since dropping. I believe it could be one of my all time Eurovision faves. Daily listening, I can’t detach and it’s very rare for me to get so attached to a song. Since watching the video, it has changed the song for me. Positively and negatively. It still sits in my top spot on @myeurovisionscoreboard - wether a music video was out or not; I still feel / would of felt the same way. I just love to see guys in similar age and from the UK into the same music as me. I think Tix is very underrated and i Cant thank him enough for this record because it’s solved so many personal Issues for me. It’s unreal. It’s breathtaking.
TIX and Fallen Angel: wonderful guy, wonderful history, wonderful voix, wonderful song, wonderful performance. I can't vote in SF1, but my vote in the final is to TIX. Finnally TIX is the best, the more important history in this year ESC. Vote for Norway, please. This is authentic. Enrique from Andalucía
I’ve loved Eurovision my entire life, but I’ve never been this proud to be Norwegian in the world of esc.❤️ Sadly I think most of us can relate to the song and his message, which makes it that much more important. I watched it as soon as I got the notification yesterday, and I’m just soo happy to see his story come across, hopefully raising awareness in regards to the problems with bullying as well. 🤞 I also think I was kind of lucky it came out just after I finished my exam, no way I’d be able to write about any more philosophy right after watching that.
My winner from day one! The first song I’ve heard of this years eurovision, and no one can beat this one for me. The music video was heartbreaking and makes me root even more for TIX. Hopefully he will do great in Rotterdam, he really deserves it. And Luke, love your video as always
Norway is my 8th place in the top. l fell in love with Norwegian version during Melodiprix and still listen to it pretty much every day, the English version kinda took a while to get used to, but in the meantime I could learn more about Andreas as an artist and I couldn't be more grateful for the introduction. To answer your question, we absolutely should research more about entry songs. If we call ourselves true fans, we should act like it. We're not the people who just tune in for the live shows, so we shouldn't judge songs from their perspective.
Apart from Cyprus, and Azerbaijan to an extent, none of the songs from the first semifinal earlier really stood out to me. That was until Norway came on. When Tix first appeared, and Scott Mills had said "Tix is the most Shazammed artist in Norway", I thought "He is the most Shazammed artist in Norway? He looks like a prized prat in that angel outfit!" And then as the song went on, I was hooked. Brilliant song, impeccable performance. If we in the UK could have voted this evening (for those on here not from Britain, we can only vote during the second semifinal on Thursday and the final on Saturday), I would have done so for Norway and Cyprus until my credit ran out. I'm glad they're both through to the final on Saturday. They deserve it, particularly Tix! 😀
I watched the music video on the bus for the first time and I almost started crying on the bus because of it. It's so emotional and loaded and it's just amazing. one of the best music videos this year and in eurovision history about your question, I believe music is connected to the soul and we should vote to the songs that we feel are deserves it. It can be by first impression, vocals, visuals but also story. knowing the message of the song make me personally appreciate it more
I also didn't get it the first time I heard the song, this was actually at the eurovision finale. It was exaxtly as you said. But I had to find out more about him, because he was so special and I absolutely fell in love with the song, the message, his music and Andreas himself. He is a wonderful person.
Love the song, love the music video and love your reaction. I have watched Eurovision since 1983 (yes, I am getting old), and has always chosen my favourite from the heart. What kind of song that hits me in the heart varies (Hatari, Madame Monsieur, TIX, Musiqq, ByeAlex), but they all remain in my playlist and I can listen to them over and over again. Can't explain what makes me really love a song, so that's why I believe it comes from the heart. Of course, it doesn't ruin the song that the artist is sympathetic either ❤
Loved the song right through Melodi Grand Prix (is one of the few national finals I follow). Originally didn't have the faintest clue on the backstory (originally sung in Norwegian - love that version too)! The more videos that pop up and the more I find out the story of TIX, the more I love and can appreciate this song!! One of my top favourite songs for Eurovision this year! Much love from Australia TIX!!
Watching ESC was the first time for me to hear Tix with Fallen Angel. I knew nothing about the song or him, but for me there was no need for a video. Something in the song and his voice touched me deeply right away. It sounded like he was in pain, but was in a strange way also soothing to my soul. I loved it instantly and it made me emotional. It's the only ESC song from this year I found good enough to purchase and put in my play list with songs I love and listen to every day. That said, the video is heartbraking.
I absolutely adore you’re reaction video. I have never commented on yt before, but this is the most lovely video I’ve ever seen, and I had to. I can see you have the sweetest soul. I’ll be following you for sure! Let’s 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for Tix in the Esc, I love the song and the message it sends! Love from Norway❤️
By showing his life story, Andreas touched on very important issues of our time. After all, inclusion and empathy are important components of a civilized society. I hope that with this video, millions of children who have suffered from moral and physical violence, and millions of children with disabilities will feel that they are not alone, that you can climb and rise like Andreas. It deserves respect! ❤ Andreas proved once again that physical and mental disabilities are not an obstacle to a normal life and success! Physical disabilities and mental disorders are not a sentence and are not a reason to bully a person because he is not like everyone else! Andreas has learned to live with it, and now motivates others.
Seeing him at eurovision gave me so much hope. I had tics since I can think but now I got diagnosed with tourette's syndrome. My tics came back since Corona started and since 3 Months they're getting worse everyday wich was why I got the diagnose. When I thought it couldn't get worse my only and really close friend decided he dose not want to be a part of my life anymore because of my tics. Seeing TIX was like a call stright from heaven waking me up to not give up. Times get hard but I know it will be better somehow and someday, and I wish that everyone realises that. Don't ever give up!
Tix has finally allowed himself to become the swan he is. Very sad that he had to experience all the bullying in his childhood. Grateful that he managed to handle it. Wich him everything well and ...as he says himself: The most important thing for me is not to win ... it is that we see all those who deserve to shine like swans ❤️❤️
Knowing a bit about the boys acting like young TIX make this even more powerful, makes me soooo proud of all involved. Neurodiversity ROCKS when it can bloom just as you are, not a failed "normal".
Loved watching your reaction to this video, thanks for sharing! It's a shame that most people will probably just see a guy wearing angel wings and sunglasses singing a love song, when there is so much more. I hope they stage it cleverly so some of his backstory shines through. As for your question, I think we can do both - acknowledge what the general audience will 'get' at face value and appreciate the depth we who are especially interested find. I'm hoping that the commentators will quickly mention some of his story, like explaining that TIX is a persona he created after being bullied for his tics, in the artist introduction.
I hope so too Gina! It seems like such a shame for these tracks to be put forward with no background information at hand for the casual listener because the backstory is very detailed and I’m so glad I have had the chance to find out more about him. It does impact my feelings towards the song and I feel others would feel the same ❤️
I absolutely love this music video, it is so well done and emotional and shows the song off amazingly. When I vote for an ESC song it is both with heart and head. Songs can grap me instantly being emotional or fun uptempo songs or attitude, but also songs that grow on me the more I listen to them or look into the lyrics and/or back story can be songs I end up voting for. I think whatever reason makes us vote for a song is fair, as long as we are respectful.
The videoclip reflects really well his story behind him... I have Norway in 13th place this year, but maybe with the live performances goes up, who knows. Loved your reaction
What's even better is that the original song in Norwegian has different lyrics, and sings about how she brought him out of the darkness and opened heaven. Implying that she turned him into an angel. Both versions are beautiful.
Maybe (for me) the song is not really the best, even it's grown on me as well, but the music video is the best of the entire Eurovision season! I got feelings watching all those scenes and how it explains what TIX passed in his past 😢 Well done, Norway 🇳🇴! I think this song could get qualified easily and I feel there are some chances to go straight in top 10 (I know for someone this is too much, but I doubt TIX won't qualify). But then, we'll see That's all! 🇮🇹❤️🇳🇴
So, I've got so many thoughts here. This might be a little long (I apologize). The music video made me cry, and music videos NEVER do that. I think it's such an important message to share. In the end, regardless of the result this year - I'm proud to be Norwegian and sending this... I think we did great there :) He is also the first ever Eurovision contestant that has entirely created his song all on his own (lyrics, music, production). Now to what I think about getting into the story, and learning more and getting influenced by that. I think that's what music is about. If you can connect with a song somehow - lyrics, the music, the voice or the story behind it - that's what is important. That's what music is. I think we should do that, and figure out the context where we can. Casual viewers obviously won't do that or have that, so it creates some kind of a balance where nice songs that can get missed due to distracting staging - then we can balance that out by voting for it because we know more background. EDIT: I'm sorry you were bullied Luke. I was too, due to being small (I was born with a condition that makes me short). No one should have to go through that. The video got me because of that.
Nice! I love what you're saying there about it being balanced out between fans and casual listeners. I didn't think of that. Also NICE go Norway!! Oh bless you, thank you and I'm sorry to read this Lil' Cat :( We will come out the other side!!
To answer your question, the video is a part of the whole package and should be considered in the review, however this is all the reasons why I love Andreas, he is such an inspiration and he shares so much of himself with his fans and that makes him a fenomenal artist but also shows what a wonderful person he is behind the TIX mask.
So... I didn't watch the official video until now... I am currently drunk (had school about cocktails and made 6 of them and drank under 2hours) and watched this video.Watching the video I started crying because I can also relate to this. In the 5:37 my laptop decided to "blue screen". I think this is a sign!!!
Just finished the end of the video. Luke... I feel you... I was an average kid but was bullied hard just because I couldn't hit back because I know they will hit back and I would lose... This brings me bad memories too... You are not alone and either is TIX and it definitely changed my opinion about him and I will be supporting him.
Oh Domu, I'm so sorry you went through all of that, I am here if you need to chat about anything - these things can leave a lasting impression on us. You got through it and that's the main thing. keep being the positive and hard working soul that you are! You can do this.
@@Lukeovision thanks dude. Like you said it - I got through it - without any life lasting marks. I found a new home, new friends and they accept me for who I am (an average person with a dark humour). If anyone else is reading this let me tell you that once you finish high school/gymnasium your life will change for the better trust me. Just hang on.
Now everyone understand why TIX need his head band on Eurovision stage. Great music video. Its a great song, great voice and show. I look forward to 22 of may now. 12 points to TIX and Norway. I think TIX will have the same outfit, with four demons on the stage. Supprising Europe with AVA MAX as his guest artist, singing fallen angel as a duett. That would be a great supprise on the 22 of may....
This music video makes me so sad!!! I love it but it just sad... You said you were bullied?? Well... We need a storytime about it... But if you want to keep it for yourself, you can! I'm respectful! You get all my support you need!! ❤️😊😘
It's unfortunately quite a common thing in England. I'm guessing i'm like the same age range as Luke and I got bullied for the most stupidest of reasons. Like because I listened to Korean music and people were like "that's so gay" and this was like 2003 when K-Pop was basically unknown to the Western World.
It hurts to know that Andreas (tix) got bullied at the same school I’m going to now! I have a kid in my class who also has tix and I can’t imagine how he feels😕
This was my favourite song anyway, but then when I watched the video i was blown away. I had no idea about his background until i watched the video :'(
Lovely reaction as always, Luke. And say hi to Mama Trish :) A lot of reviewers take a lot of background material into consideration, and sometimes it is a bit too much - I think. It is distracting. After all, this is a song contest, not a story contest. That said: This MV is stunning, it looks just as expensive as it probably was ;) but like you pointed out, the video is not competing in ESC. More than anything it is a great selling point for the artist - since it can woo the masses and possible voters two weeks ahead of the competition. In spite of numerous documentaries, interview, new video, behind the scenes, and more stuff, I have not changed my mind about the song. The song remains in my lower half of the 39 entries. But best of luck to Tix in his efforts to conquer the world, and lots of love to you and your Mum / xxx from the Arctic North
Awhh, that was lovely to read! Thank you Elin for your input! It definitely a hard decision isn't it? Like choosing between your head and heart? Thank you so much! She is lovely, I'll pass on your well wishes :) :)
@@Lukeovision Absolutely, but for me it is a combination between head & heart, and also what intrigues me a bit (not the most generic and over-produced songs, rather the unique ones) + gives entries that brings me raw energy (such as Finland).
I hadn't seen the video before the semi-finals last night, and his performance got to me. The melody with his beautiful vocals really stopped me and forced me to listen. A very, very touching and beautiful song.
Norwegian TV made a Documentary of his story...I broke into tears several times . Few -If any interviews has touched me so deeply. I found it on youtube
He talks about the reasons for his loneliness, about what caused his depression and obsessions ("demons" that tear him to pieces, that do not allow him to live normally, that do not allow him to become happy). This better explains the meaning of the song Fallen Angel.
Ah so many thoughts here, let's go: First, this entry really is a special one for me. When I first saw it I felt so weird because just looking at it, that would be something I am NOT into (I never go for the flashy stuff and it reminded me of rappers, which aren't my cup of tea), but it hit something in me right away. I could just feel myself getting hooked on the song. This surprised me so much that it really piqued my interest: so I started digging, and boy I found a lot. Learning his story, it all clicked. That thing I felt was a certain desperation, a pain, that he managed to bring across to me through a song that initially seems cheesy and staging that would normally repulse me. I too have been bullied and have struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, so TIX really hits deep for me. What I think is interesting here is that the song had a huge instant impact for me without knowing why at first. Secondly, about the face value vs. digging for context thing. For me, music is art, and with art it does matter who the artist is, what they stand for and what they want to convey to us. I personally think this enriches music in a beautiful way and I always tend to look into lyrics and backstory etc. I do however understand that not everyone is like this, not to mention not all music has as much meaning, and that's fine too. I think when you're trying to PREDICT eurovision results you can expect it's more about face value (cause most viewers are experiencing the entries for the first time and don't have time to look into it before voting, even if they felt the need to), but when it comes to what you LIKE, it depends on that person, and I do think there are lots of people like me who think context matters. I actually think TIX might do really well, because even setting his story aside, the look is memorable and the song is catchy. Unless someone really HATES the wings etc. so much that they dismiss the song, I think they'll like the voice and song enough to vote. Lastly, about music videos: I personally love them because it gives a song another medium, it adds another layer to that piece of art someone has put out. If I've known and loved a song for a bit, a meh music video isn't going to sway my opinion on it though. For me, MVs aren't necessary, but they can boost a song sometimes. I have noticed that whenever a song is released along with a MV, it tends to stick more easily and I'll remember it after 1-2 listens, whereas audio alone might take 3-4 listens. I think it helps my brain to have a visual along with a song. Yeah, I like music videos, they can turn a song into a whole experience, which is really cool. Some of my favourite songs ever don't have one though, so it's definitely not a necessity. Props to anyone who has read all this haha. Much love to everyone, and thank you for your lovely videos Luke! Virtual hugs from The Netherlands
Wow! There was a lot to digest here! You spark some very interesting points of view here. I see what you mean with the video enhancing the song, because now after watching Tix's video, I feel so much more of a connection with him and the song. I suppose it's like learning, you learn in different ways, audio, visual, actions etc Thank you for your feedback!
Hey Luke, Brusjan have just posted a video about how they made the 'Fallen Angel' video and you're in it!!! Was so happy to see you there! Go see yourself! X
Andreas did say too he uses sunglasses he has a lot of tix in his face so stage light and things like that can trigger the tix but it do help him with the sunglasses so it not only a image
Allthough I’m Norwegian I didn’t bother catching who this TIX character was once he won the finals, I thought he was just another autotune singing sunglass wearing extravagant nerd. I’m afraid I won’t be the only one not getting it. The video is something else, it’s so raw! Made me cry, and cheer for him.
i cried when i first heared this song. the bookies here in the uk are giving 125/1 theres alot of rubbish songs in the eurovision and this song deserves to be in the top 5 . please everyone vote for this song. its about time a good song won the eurovision
Cried my Make up away right from the first watching! Kids can be so f*cking rude/cruel ... I already loved the Song and his wonderful voice before the video came up, so this is like the cherry on top. My fingers are crossed, I'm wishing Andreas/TIX good luck, toi toi toi 🤞🍀
Trying to leave a succinct comment is really hard sometimes 😂 I love how music videos can give a slant on a song, particularly when the artist has been involved in the concept for it. The visual storytelling that you can put into a music video is so much more than can be achieved on stage for a song like this, especially within the confines of ESC rules. in these digital times when physical copies of a single or album are not so much of a thing, and the artwork associated with them isn't as big a deal as it was, a video is frequently the sole avenue for exploring meanings of a song. In some way the song is like the tv show or movie, and the music video can be like reading the book the show was based on - filling in some details and giving greater meaning to it. Some years I haven't had a lot of time before ESC to really dig into the songs and artists, and it can be quite frustrating when I find out something later that really influences my thoughts and feelings on a song. But that's just me! If you've got the interest & the time (and for you that's time for research maybe, time to record, time to edit and upload... as well as any emotional cost a song might take on you) then delve deeper into songs, if you're happy with how you experience it then don't change a thing! All roads lead to ESC :D I'm not gonna tell you what to do :P but for what the community wants, I love analysis and getting to really soak in a song and artist, and will take as much ESC content as possible :) As for this video, even though it's one of my favourite parts, I hadn't actually connected the key change to the transition to adult TIX. I had more focused on the lyric "no", so thanks for that! You react to much the same bits in much the same way to me (just less tears), so there's not a whole lot else to say on this one!
17 May to years ago he almost took his life, his cat helped him and he created a song called Thousand Tears and he is is chose first in line to go to the finals I am cheering him on Saturday
Thanks Luke. I got good feelings right away when I heard it the first time, good to listen to. Then it grew on me more and more each time I heard it. Now I have this song on my Spotify playlist, one of my favorites. The video is art like you said, and it tells a story and gives us all an important message. Don`t let bullies destroy Your life, you are a great person, show them that they can`t break you down. Stay strong in your heart, love yourself, use the experience to become a even better person, live your life with hope and love. Would like you to react to another great artist who I would love to hear on radiochannels everywhere. Can you react to 7th Heaven by Angelina Jordan, if you haven`t already, PLEASE Love to you all from Ann
This is just me, I’ve always been someone who listens a lot to the stories in songs. And music that doesn’t have much of a meaning I usually show little interest in. I know a lot of people listen way more casually and don’t read into the lyrics too much, but it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people miss the real narrative in this song. But once you actually listen to the song, the meaning. A good song for me is a song with meaningful lyrics, supported by great vocals and music fitting the narrative. I’m an emotional person, and I’ve always used music to escape reality, loneliness, depression and anxiety. And the lyrics to me is so important. A lot of artists write from their hearts when they write songs, they want to tell something, express something or just write something that they really like and can stay behind. People don’t have to like the song, or the artists. But not reading into the lyrics at least a little is like reading a book and only looking at the images 🤷🏻♀️ So yea I think that especially people that actually criticize music for a living, on RUclips or whatever have a responsibility to not only rate the music. But also what they artist actually has to say 👍🏻
Thank you, Luke
The pleasure is all mine. It’s incredible. You’re an inspiration and I’m fully behind you! ❤️
You're the best, good luck from Italy 🇮🇹❤🇳🇴
😱😱tix😱😱
Omg hi tix big fan
WHAT THE FFFFFFFFF--- 😳😨
Luke, you’re such a lucky guy
TIX is my 2nd this year, and I honestly wouldn't mind if Norway won this year. What a beautiful song! ❤
There's depth in Fallen Angel. Tix is equipped with musical talent. He is humble yet has a making of a superstar and has a world class caliber.
im from norway and i mostly know him from a song where he sang about shotguns
The song hit me like a freight train, brought back my memories of being bullied as well. I’m so pleased that he delved into his backstory, it’s now made the song slot more into place. Totally rooting for tix now !
I love that!!
Me too!
@ThePeaceAround Yeah man. Same here
One of the best music video ever!

@@Jennaw95 great! That wonderfull song, and our loved boy TIX. I hope the best for our boy
Thanks, indeed
I’ve loved Eurovision my entire life, but I’ve never been this proud to be Norwegian in the world of esc.❤️
Sadly I think most of us can relate to the song and his message, which makes it that much more important.
I watched it as soon as I got the notification yesterday, and I’m just soo happy to see his story come across, hopefully raising awareness in regards to the problems with bullying as well. 🤞
I also think I was kind of lucky it came out just after I finished my exam, no way I’d be able to write about any more philosophy right after watching that.
The story in the music video could be made as a full movie.
AGREE
The story in this video is about him growing up. He was bullied for having tics.
I understood the song from the very first time I listened to it... I have felt the same, even the situations are not the same. I hope he wins.
Same...And that’s why I voted for him and wanted him to represent us, because I could really relate to his song.
My winner from day one! The first song I’ve heard of this years eurovision, and no one can beat this one for me. The music video was heartbreaking and makes me root even more for TIX. Hopefully he will do great in Rotterdam, he really deserves it. And Luke, love your video as always
Tears. I was bullied to almost ending it. This song and video is just wonderful. 12 points to Norway from Sweden
Norway is my 8th place in the top. l fell in love with Norwegian version during Melodiprix and still listen to it pretty much every day, the English version kinda took a while to get used to, but in the meantime I could learn more about Andreas as an artist and I couldn't be more grateful for the introduction.

I was crying when the video ended, it's absolutely amazing and necessary!! What a deep massage OMG!!
TIX is our norwegian swan!
I cried so much with this video, Tix is an incredible artist and deserve all our support, I’m sure I’m gonna vote for him

It was my favorite Eurovision song even before seeing the video. The video took it to a whole different level!
I absolutely adore you’re reaction video. I have never commented on yt before, but this is the most lovely video I’ve ever seen, and I had to. I can see you have the sweetest soul. I’ll be following you for sure! Let’s 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for Tix in the Esc, I love the song and the message it sends! Love from Norway❤️
Awh that’s so so sweet of you! Thank you so much and it’s nice to see you comment ❤️😇 fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I never new that this was the reason for the headban! I didn't know it had such a deap meaning
I love fallen angel ❤️❤️ 10/10 my second favorite song 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
By showing his life story, Andreas touched on very important issues of our time. After all, inclusion and empathy are important components of a civilized society. I hope that with this video, millions of children who have suffered from moral and physical violence, and millions of children with disabilities will feel that they are not alone, that you can climb and rise like Andreas. It deserves respect! ❤ Andreas proved once again that physical and mental disabilities are not an obstacle to a normal life and success! Physical disabilities and mental disorders are not a sentence and are not a reason to bully a person because he is not like everyone else! Andreas has learned to live with it, and now motivates others.
This comment made me cry 😭 Because I needed to hear it. Thank you ❤️
Seeing him at eurovision gave me so much hope.
I had tics since I can think but now I got diagnosed with tourette's syndrome.
My tics came back since Corona started and since 3 Months they're getting worse everyday wich was why I got the diagnose.
When I thought it couldn't get worse my only and really close friend decided he dose not want to be a part of my life anymore because of my tics.
Seeing TIX was like a call stright from heaven waking me up to not give up.
Times get hard but I know it will be better somehow and someday, and I wish that everyone realises that.
Don't ever give up!
What a strong message Jin. You’re an inspiration to others out there.
@@Lukeovision Thank you, it really helps me to hear that!
Tix has finally allowed himself to become the swan he is. Very sad that he had to experience all the bullying in his childhood. Grateful that he managed to handle it. Wich him everything well and ...as he says himself:
The most important thing for me is not to win ... it is that we see all those who deserve to shine like swans ❤️❤️
People outside of Norway really don’t know much about him, he’s doing quite well in the international music industry. TIX + Ava Max ❤️
Thank you for reacting and understand this amazing video and song ....it made me cry . From norway
Knowing a bit about the boys acting like young TIX make this even more powerful, makes me soooo proud of all involved. Neurodiversity ROCKS when it can bloom just as you are, not a failed "normal".
Loved watching your reaction to this video, thanks for sharing! It's a shame that most people will probably just see a guy wearing angel wings and sunglasses singing a love song, when there is so much more. I hope they stage it cleverly so some of his backstory shines through. As for your question, I think we can do both - acknowledge what the general audience will 'get' at face value and appreciate the depth we who are especially interested find. I'm hoping that the commentators will quickly mention some of his story, like explaining that TIX is a persona he created after being bullied for his tics, in the artist introduction.
I hope so too Gina! It seems like such a shame for these tracks to be put forward with no background information at hand for the casual listener because the backstory is very detailed and I’m so glad I have had the chance to find out more about him. It does impact my feelings towards the song and I feel others would feel the same ❤️
I absolutely love this music video, it is so well done and emotional and shows the song off amazingly. When I vote for an ESC song it is both with heart and head. Songs can grap me instantly being emotional or fun uptempo songs or attitude, but also songs that grow on me the more I listen to them or look into the lyrics and/or back story can be songs I end up voting for. I think whatever reason makes us vote for a song is fair, as long as we are respectful.
Summed up there like a true champion!
@@Lukeovision Thank you, loved your reaction. ❤️
Video is so deep, and TIX for me grow so much now. ❤
Loved this song from the start. He has an amazing voice live.
I am so proud of him, we love him here in Norway. Absolutely amazing..
The videoclip reflects really well his story behind him... I have Norway in 13th place this year, but maybe with the live performances goes up, who knows. Loved your reaction
I love it. Go deeper and you find the hidden pearls. ❤
Okay this song is growing on me!!
What's even better is that the original song in Norwegian has different lyrics, and sings about how she brought him out of the darkness and opened heaven. Implying that she turned him into an angel. Both versions are beautiful.
This song brings tears to my eyes. I love this song! I love Tix. Thank you for standing up for the underdog
great video, Luke! I think there are many of us that have been bullied, and we need more openness and honesty about that.
Maybe (for me) the song is not really the best, even it's grown on me as well, but the music video is the best of the entire Eurovision season! I got feelings watching all those scenes and how it explains what TIX passed in his past 😢
Well done, Norway 🇳🇴!
I think this song could get qualified easily and I feel there are some chances to go straight in top 10 (I know for someone this is too much, but I doubt TIX won't qualify). But then, we'll see
That's all! 🇮🇹❤️🇳🇴
We, the Norwegians, love our Tix❤️
yes we do ♥
For Me this is the best I heard so far.
So, I've got so many thoughts here. This might be a little long (I apologize). The music video made me cry, and music videos NEVER do that. I think it's such an important message to share. In the end, regardless of the result this year - I'm proud to be Norwegian and sending this... I think we did great there :) He is also the first ever Eurovision contestant that has entirely created his song all on his own (lyrics, music, production).
Now to what I think about getting into the story, and learning more and getting influenced by that. I think that's what music is about. If you can connect with a song somehow - lyrics, the music, the voice or the story behind it - that's what is important. That's what music is. I think we should do that, and figure out the context where we can. Casual viewers obviously won't do that or have that, so it creates some kind of a balance where nice songs that can get missed due to distracting staging - then we can balance that out by voting for it because we know more background.
EDIT: I'm sorry you were bullied Luke. I was too, due to being small (I was born with a condition that makes me short). No one should have to go through that. The video got me because of that.
Nice! I love what you're saying there about it being balanced out between fans and casual listeners. I didn't think of that.
Also NICE go Norway!!
Oh bless you, thank you and I'm sorry to read this Lil' Cat :( We will come out the other side!!
Lil Cat... Omg... I'm so sorry about this... No matter what osteogenesis imperfecta does to you, I'll support you!! 😊❤️😭
@@eurovisionwithsis-thepower7524 If you're assuming that's what I have - it is not. Thank you for your support!
@@lillecathrine okay Cat! Thanks ❤️😊
@@lillecathrine You have all my support ❤️
To answer your question, the video is a part of the whole package and should be considered in the review, however this is all the reasons why I love Andreas, he is such an inspiration and he shares so much of himself with his fans and that makes him a fenomenal artist but also shows what a wonderful person he is behind the TIX mask.
So... I didn't watch the official video until now... I am currently drunk (had school about cocktails and made 6 of them and drank under 2hours) and watched this video.Watching the video I started crying because I can also relate to this. In the 5:37 my laptop decided to "blue screen". I think this is a sign!!!
Just finished the end of the video. Luke... I feel you... I was an average kid but was bullied hard just because I couldn't hit back because I know they will hit back and I would lose... This brings me bad memories too... You are not alone and either is TIX and it definitely changed my opinion about him and I will be supporting him.
Oh Domu, I'm so sorry you went through all of that, I am here if you need to chat about anything - these things can leave a lasting impression on us. You got through it and that's the main thing. keep being the positive and hard working soul that you are! You can do this.
@@Lukeovision thanks dude. Like you said it - I got through it - without any life lasting marks. I found a new home, new friends and they accept me for who I am (an average person with a dark humour).
If anyone else is reading this let me tell you that once you finish high school/gymnasium your life will change for the better trust me. Just hang on.
Oh this touches my heart! ❤️
💗💗From Norway, and thank you!
Luke, I also empathise and I think that's why I love the song more now. I was bullied for 4 years and basically high school was a mess.
Oh you poor thing :( I hope you’ve come through the other side now and you’re a stronger person 🙌🏼
@@Lukeovision I did thankfully and now I'm a teacher. The moment I see bullying I step in and remind students that actions lead to consequences
Now everyone understand why TIX need his head band on Eurovision stage. Great music video. Its a great song, great voice and show. I look forward to 22 of may now. 12 points to TIX and Norway. I think TIX will have the same outfit, with four demons on the stage. Supprising Europe with AVA MAX as his guest artist, singing fallen angel as a duett. That would be a great supprise on the 22 of may....
This music video makes me so sad!!! I love it but it just sad...
You said you were bullied?? Well... We need a storytime about it... But if you want to keep it for yourself, you can! I'm respectful! You get all my support you need!! ❤️😊😘
It's unfortunately quite a common thing in England. I'm guessing i'm like the same age range as Luke and I got bullied for the most stupidest of reasons. Like because I listened to Korean music and people were like "that's so gay" and this was like 2003 when K-Pop was basically unknown to the Western World.
Here TIX tells his story:

@@RobertHeslop I'm so sorry to hear that Rob!! Hope you have a good day tdy!!
I love the music video and this video is good and your reaction is good 🥰
Omg i am so happy you like fallen angel
It hurts to know that Andreas (tix) got bullied at the same school I’m going to now! I have a kid in my class who also has tix and I can’t imagine how he feels😕
This was my favourite song anyway, but then when I watched the video i was blown away. I had no idea about his background until i watched the video :'(
Lovely reaction as always, Luke. And say hi to Mama Trish :) A lot of reviewers take a lot of background material into consideration, and sometimes it is a bit too much - I think. It is distracting. After all, this is a song contest, not a story contest. That said: This MV is stunning, it looks just as expensive as it probably was ;) but like you pointed out, the video is not competing in ESC. More than anything it is a great selling point for the artist - since it can woo the masses and possible voters two weeks ahead of the competition. In spite of numerous documentaries, interview, new video, behind the scenes, and more stuff, I have not changed my mind about the song. The song remains in my lower half of the 39 entries. But best of luck to Tix in his efforts to conquer the world, and lots of love to you and your Mum / xxx from the Arctic North
Awhh, that was lovely to read! Thank you Elin for your input! It definitely a hard decision isn't it? Like choosing between your head and heart?
Thank you so much! She is lovely, I'll pass on your well wishes :) :)
@@Lukeovision Absolutely, but for me it is a combination between head & heart, and also what intrigues me a bit (not the most generic and over-produced songs, rather the unique ones) + gives entries that brings me raw energy (such as Finland).
Nice review Luke!
I hadn't seen the video before the semi-finals last night, and his performance got to me. The melody with his beautiful vocals really stopped me and forced me to listen. A very, very touching and beautiful song.
Tix i love you ❤️! You are the winner 🏆 12 points from Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇧🇻!
Norwegian TV made a Documentary of his story...I broke into tears several times . Few -If any interviews has touched me so deeply. I found it on youtube
Tix definitely has my vote this evening
Love it. I hope he take the price home. Not just because he has the best song but the best thematic. It meens something to the world.
He talks about the reasons for his loneliness, about what caused his depression and obsessions ("demons" that tear him to pieces, that do not allow him to live normally, that do not allow him to become happy). This better explains the meaning of the song Fallen Angel.
Thanks I thought 'falling angel' was satan
Ah so many thoughts here, let's go:
First, this entry really is a special one for me. When I first saw it I felt so weird because just looking at it, that would be something I am NOT into (I never go for the flashy stuff and it reminded me of rappers, which aren't my cup of tea), but it hit something in me right away. I could just feel myself getting hooked on the song. This surprised me so much that it really piqued my interest: so I started digging, and boy I found a lot. Learning his story, it all clicked. That thing I felt was a certain desperation, a pain, that he managed to bring across to me through a song that initially seems cheesy and staging that would normally repulse me. I too have been bullied and have struggled with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, so TIX really hits deep for me. What I think is interesting here is that the song had a huge instant impact for me without knowing why at first.
Secondly, about the face value vs. digging for context thing. For me, music is art, and with art it does matter who the artist is, what they stand for and what they want to convey to us. I personally think this enriches music in a beautiful way and I always tend to look into lyrics and backstory etc. I do however understand that not everyone is like this, not to mention not all music has as much meaning, and that's fine too. I think when you're trying to PREDICT eurovision results you can expect it's more about face value (cause most viewers are experiencing the entries for the first time and don't have time to look into it before voting, even if they felt the need to), but when it comes to what you LIKE, it depends on that person, and I do think there are lots of people like me who think context matters. I actually think TIX might do really well, because even setting his story aside, the look is memorable and the song is catchy. Unless someone really HATES the wings etc. so much that they dismiss the song, I think they'll like the voice and song enough to vote.
Lastly, about music videos: I personally love them because it gives a song another medium, it adds another layer to that piece of art someone has put out. If I've known and loved a song for a bit, a meh music video isn't going to sway my opinion on it though. For me, MVs aren't necessary, but they can boost a song sometimes. I have noticed that whenever a song is released along with a MV, it tends to stick more easily and I'll remember it after 1-2 listens, whereas audio alone might take 3-4 listens. I think it helps my brain to have a visual along with a song. Yeah, I like music videos, they can turn a song into a whole experience, which is really cool. Some of my favourite songs ever don't have one though, so it's definitely not a necessity.
Props to anyone who has read all this haha. Much love to everyone, and thank you for your lovely videos Luke! Virtual hugs from The Netherlands
Wow! There was a lot to digest here!
You spark some very interesting points of view here. I see what you mean with the video enhancing the song, because now after watching Tix's video, I feel so much more of a connection with him and the song. I suppose it's like learning, you learn in different ways, audio, visual, actions etc Thank you for your feedback!
@@Lukeovision yes exactly! You're very welcome, I love talking about these things!
Loved this💖
His name is Tix because of his eye dicease that causes him to blink uncontrollably. And the song is basically about his life with that dicease
in this year Tix and Daði stole my heart :)
Hey Luke, Brusjan have just posted a video about how they made the 'Fallen Angel' video and you're in it!!! Was so happy to see you there! Go see yourself! X
No freaking way?! That’s epic!! Thank you for letting me know!
@@Lukeovision your reaction to the video is my favourite so I was shouting at the screen when I saw you! X
Andreas did say too he uses sunglasses he has a lot of tix in his face so stage light and things like that can trigger the tix but it do help him with the sunglasses so it not only a image
You are amazing Andreas beautiful voice wow Thank You for sharing
I can’t stop listening this song. It is really touchy and his incredible voice... 🥰 Why he is not a winner 👀
Allthough I’m Norwegian I didn’t bother catching who this TIX character was once he won the finals, I thought he was just another autotune singing sunglass wearing extravagant nerd. I’m afraid I won’t be the only one not getting it. The video is something else, it’s so raw! Made me cry, and cheer for him.
Great review of an amazing music video to a wonderful song!
PauKat, I really appreciate that thank you! I try to keep it as fair and impartial as I can!
@@Lukeovision Yes, I notice you do! Thanks for answering!
I love your strong reaction to Tix♥️🥳♥️
i cried when i first heared this song. the bookies here in the uk are giving 125/1 theres alot of rubbish songs in the eurovision and this song deserves to be in the top 5 . please everyone vote for this song. its about time a good song won the eurovision
Cried my Make up away right from the first watching! Kids can be so f*cking rude/cruel ... I already loved the Song and his wonderful voice before the video came up, so this is like the cherry on top. My fingers are crossed, I'm wishing Andreas/TIX good luck, toi toi toi 🤞🍀
Can't wait to see what you think!!!
OK YESSSSS🥺🥺🥺
OUR REACTIONS ARE SO SIMILAR
@@EurovisionwithJudeKennedy SAD BUT TRUE
Trying to leave a succinct comment is really hard sometimes 😂
I love how music videos can give a slant on a song, particularly when the artist has been involved in the concept for it. The visual storytelling that you can put into a music video is so much more than can be achieved on stage for a song like this, especially within the confines of ESC rules. in these digital times when physical copies of a single or album are not so much of a thing, and the artwork associated with them isn't as big a deal as it was, a video is frequently the sole avenue for exploring meanings of a song. In some way the song is like the tv show or movie, and the music video can be like reading the book the show was based on - filling in some details and giving greater meaning to it. Some years I haven't had a lot of time before ESC to really dig into the songs and artists, and it can be quite frustrating when I find out something later that really influences my thoughts and feelings on a song. But that's just me! If you've got the interest & the time (and for you that's time for research maybe, time to record, time to edit and upload... as well as any emotional cost a song might take on you) then delve deeper into songs, if you're happy with how you experience it then don't change a thing! All roads lead to ESC :D I'm not gonna tell you what to do :P but for what the community wants, I love analysis and getting to really soak in a song and artist, and will take as much ESC content as possible :)
As for this video, even though it's one of my favourite parts, I hadn't actually connected the key change to the transition to adult TIX. I had more focused on the lyric "no", so thanks for that! You react to much the same bits in much the same way to me (just less tears), so there's not a whole lot else to say on this one!
17 May to years ago he almost took his life, his cat helped him and he created a song called Thousand Tears and he is is chose first in line to go to the finals I am cheering him on Saturday
here you can watch the song he wrote ruclips.net/video/f9T1O0TeMb4/видео.html
I love you 💖 fallen Angel 12 points from Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇧🇻!
Another proof of Never judge a book by its cover....
💖😍
I cant watch that music video without tears. #beenbulliedtoo
I know who will get my vote.
I love the music video
I love this song Tixs is amazing
Thanks Luke. I got good feelings right away when I heard it the first time, good to listen to. Then it grew on me more and more each time I heard it. Now I have this song on my Spotify playlist, one of my favorites. The video is art like you said, and it tells a story and gives us all an important message. Don`t let bullies destroy Your life, you are a great person, show them that they can`t break you down. Stay strong in your heart, love yourself, use the experience to become a even better person, live your life with hope and love. Would like you to react to another great artist who I would love to hear on radiochannels everywhere. Can you react to 7th Heaven by Angelina Jordan, if you haven`t already, PLEASE Love to you all from Ann
Ai love you luke
Good Music- Video from Tix! I hope that at 'Eurovision Song Contest' this Video is at Stage at Higher ground at a Screen!
Yeah i loved it 👍❤🌹
This is just me, I’ve always been someone who listens a lot to the stories in songs. And music that doesn’t have much of a meaning I usually show little interest in.
I know a lot of people listen way more casually and don’t read into the lyrics too much, but it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people miss the real narrative in this song.
But once you actually listen to the song, the meaning. A good song for me is a song with meaningful lyrics, supported by great vocals and music fitting the narrative. I’m an emotional person, and I’ve always used music to escape reality, loneliness, depression and anxiety.
And the lyrics to me is so important. A lot of artists write from their hearts when they write songs, they want to tell something, express something or just write something that they really like and can stay behind. People don’t have to like the song, or the artists. But not reading into the lyrics at least a little is like reading a book and only looking at the images 🤷🏻♀️
So yea I think that especially people that actually criticize music for a living, on RUclips or whatever have a responsibility to not only rate the music. But also what they artist actually has to say 👍🏻
Exactly the same emotions. I always loved the song, on stage i thought it was a Little weird, but when i saw the video it hit me. Pff
Listen to Emelie Hollow fallen Angel. Sings the song to Tix 🙏😭
🇳🇴🇳🇴🙌🏻🙌🏻🇳🇴🇳🇴 Thank you🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻
