outro song: • Giveon - Favorite Mist...
original version: • Giveon - Favorite Mist...
Psalm 46:5 "God is within her, she shall not be moved"
if i see any norway slander, it’s on sight ❌🧢
Om here
How did you not mention the Tix and Efendi Romance
@@jameswg13 honestly, i felt like it'd be too much lore for danielle to understand 🤣
@@alenatm9513 please we need to see her reaction to it especially his RUclips videos on it and the support he gets from Sweden's singer. Very few people have reacted to it and it's just soooo sweet
@@alenatm9513 maybe you can tell her about Efendi and Tix romance when and if you make another reaction video 😇
The language in the Netherlands’ song is called Sranantongo. The language was banned by the Netherlands during colonial times because slaves used it to communicate with each other. It’s incredibly powerful that a song about slavery, sung in a language forbidden by colonizers is now representing set country without being censored.
So whingeing about an issue that affects no one anymore? Yeah, real 'brave'.
@@Novarcharesk the fact that you think it doesn’t affect anyone anymore already shows how little you know
@@TeeTeeAO lol yeah right? It obviously still has power if it triggered that person above, they proved the very point they were trying to undermine in a way 😂
I love learning about all the different languages used in ESC and the motivation and history behind the, that’s one of the best things about it IMO
@@Novarcharesk your comment is literally just how to tell everyone you’re white and ignorant without saying you’re white and ignorant 😅
Thank you for this comment! Super interesting to know
Tix didn't win the contest, but he did walk away as the winner of Efendi's heart. And that's even better than winning Eurovision.
#Efentix ❤️❤️
@@sohielfab6984 if you're into racist homophobes, then she's a real catch.. 😬
@@RookieAssassin what
@@RookieAssassin what?
I love them both together but Efendi is a homophobe so fuck her🥰
When tix says at the end, you are not alone... it’s about mental health. He is an advocate for mental health in Norway.
and Tourettes
I didn't like his song, but I LOVE him. ❤
I have to admit I was pretty disappointed that he won over Keiino because I would have loved seeing Keiino rocking it again at the ESC. But the more I got to know about Tix the more I thought it's really awesome what he is doing. His message is so meaningful, especially these days.
@@CosiRose4 same here. Keiino was a clear winner for me, would have done really good in the Grand Final. First I didn't like TIX, then I started to like it and at the end I cried with the meaning of the song
Sorry for being the 666 like lmaooo
Having 0 points from the public doesn't mean nobody vote for them, but that they didn't make it in the top 10 in any country.
A song can have very few votes, but it it makes it in the top ten in one country, it'll have points.
If it has very few votes but still made it into a country’s top 10 televote, then everything else must have got VERY few votes. 🤣🤣 Please just stop trying to justify poor scores. We know it doesn’t literally mean 0 votes because that is virtually impossible with hundred of millions of viewers. Did you just realise this or something?
@@supermannnblablabla What they mean is that 11th in jury and 11th in televote gets nil points even though many may have voted for them, but 10th in televote and 25th in jury means they'll get more points anyway even though objectively speaking the first song was probably better.
Or that if in televoting, 38 countries give you 11th place (no points) vs 1 country giving you 10th place (1 point) and the other 37 putting you down in last... but the second song will place higher because of that 1 point.
Nothing to do with the total number of votes they received.
@@Kernel15 I know what they meant and how the point system works. But they said that a country could still be in the top 10 televote of a country with few actual votes, but either way, anything ranked below that must have got even fewer votes so it doesn’t justify getting 0 points by THEIR logic. Either way, there is obviously AT LEAST a few thousand votes for every contestant per country seeming as Eurovision is watched by over 200 million people (I think). I hope this makes sense lol.
@@supermannnblablabla Depends on the country and how big or small their population is, plus what usually happens in most shows with televotes is that the majority will vote for the same 1-3 songs, while the rest could potentially be very close, in smaller countries it's very likely that whoever gets 7 points might not have that many more votes than somebody who gets 0 points.
@@supermannnblablabla They're not saying that a song with few points will be in the top 10. They're using a hypothetical example to show that even if they have very few votes, the quirk of the system is that if they're in 10th or higher, they get points.
Note for the Netherlands' song: I think that people tend to ignore the host country's song because they won the previous year, hence the zero points.
actually the host country makes sure their song is not that good, because hosting a second time is soo expensive
Politely disagree. It was an amazing song. And it is honorable to win twice in a row
@@denise_leblanc Broccoli
I really, really liked this song and performance. Significantly better than the songs at the bottom of the standings that it was around (Sadly)...
Historically the host's performance always performs poorly
Im from the Netherlands, that guy is a legend, but I didn't like the song...
Dont worry, San Marino is legit one of the richest countries on earth. They probably just showed Florida their taxation rates to get him involved.
I read multiple times that he did it for free.
But yeah, San Marino is pretty rich 😁
Okay...I didn't read this as Flo Rida I just read it as Florida the state and got hella confused 😭😭😭😂
San marino isn't that rich right? acording to google they only got about a billion dollars in GDP. I dont know how it is to live in San Marino but they dont seem that rich tbh.
and more to the point, senhit's wife is apparently loaded
@@MaBoyDecco San Marino is one of the smallest countries in the world with a population of about 33.500. True the GDP alone does not seem high as a number but in perspective to other variables like debt, spending and so on, it is.
Ladies you need to capitalize on this for next year. Your ESC reactions are greatly appreciated by us over here in Europe, and a lot of people will watch it!
People don't usually vote for the host country because they want to vote for the new winner, and that's been a trend fof some years. Doesn't mean that people don't like the song.
That's what I was thinking as well, although not recent back in the 90' Ireland won it 3 times in a row
I'm not sure this is the case. Each year I get the impression that the host country tries to send a song that doesn't stand out so they don't have to host again.
You really need to slay to get that double win. Example - Poland in 2019 JESC. If Duncan actually performed again with the new song he presented - he could potentially win it. But this song, not so much. Great message, song was just ok.
i have never met anybody who goes by that logic. if the song is good enough you will get voted for.
*Ireland has joined the chat*
Get her to watch Germany, Finland...in that order xD
Also wouldn't mind her reacting to Lithuania and Belgium too..
show her england and germany
I love Tix, he wrote sweet but psycho for Ava Max and I love when they sing it together
I was just going to comment this xd
For real? Omg, love it
Wait what?? Rly?
The woman from San Marino is friends with Flo Rida (I think she sang as a background at a concert with him)
I think the only way to watch Eurovision is to actually watch the competition. Hope next year you'll join us Europeans and watch the whole thing, cringy filler moments, postcards, Cyprus and Greece giving each other 12 points, correspondents trying to steal their moment of glory during voting, the heart-beats sound effects before announcing the winner....Eurovision in all its glorious campiness.❤
Beautiful opinion
I miss it now I don't have a TV licence. Might have to find a way to stream it next year 😢
@@becky3678 they stream in youtube. I hope you can watch it live next year :)
@@davids.blanco7696 we tried that last year with a friend of ours for America, didn't work. It "wasn't available in her country" 🤷🏻♀️
I 100% agree on The Netherlands. The host entry never does well, but this deserved so much better.
And I read somewhere that we placed one of the highest if the last decade as host country
Not Serbia when it hosted in 2008; Jelena Tomašević ended up in the top 10 (6th place). It is very rare tho.
Not true, Denmark came 9th in 2014 and Sweden came 5th in 2016.
Welp I guess I was wrong. My country hosted and I honestly disliked our song.
Its a political song and blaming the wrong people, not his own people that denounced him for his preferences. Its hate and laming it should never have been on the eurovision
We want a part 3!!!!
10 part series and a full feaure movie video 😂
As a norwegian istg everyone and their mom loves TIX after ESC lmao, my mum talks about him like he's her own son.
TIX is originally famous in Norway for making song for graduating students of highschool. Like graduates will pay him to make them a song to fit their "concept". It's called "russesang" and, disclaimer, the vibe and language use is totally different from Fallen angel
Also, my fav dessert is any fruit dipped in melted chocolate
omg it's so cute to know that Tix is Norway's son lmao
@@makicabrera He won Spellemannsprisen (the Norwegian equivalent of the grammies) this year. It was very moving.
Ahahhaa my mom really loves him 😅
The first time i heard it, in the semi finales, I wasnt really a fan. But the more I heard it the recaps the more I loved it and when it came to the finale, I loved the song. It was so good and I must say I am shocked it didnt get more televotes or Jury votes for that matter! Such a great beat with an amazing vocal. It had this great deep, haunting par that just made the song sooo good!
As a Norwegian mom and grandma I can confirm.
Show her Finland’s song goddammit !
I came here for this🙌🏻
@@thecinnamonify same 🔥🔥
SHOW ALL 39!!!
Ikr! They were freaking 4th favorite of the people and favorites of the audience in the arena🤘🏻
Yes pleeaaaase🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad you explained the meaning behind Tix' song. Spreading the message of hope and letting people know they are not alone was more important to him than winning. I absolutely love the song and the music video is just heart breaking. He is such a wonderful person.
You should watch the video about the 'romance' between tix and Efendi! It's so funny and cute.
OMG when I saw Efentix I laughed so much I ended up in tears 🤣🤣
Yesss
Yaaaaasss
I struggled to take Tix seriously in the beginning of eurovision because of the way I was introduced to his music way back, but after eurovision I have a lot of respect for what he advocates now! I think it is so important to have people like him who advocate mental health in the public eye especially since his fans are so young.
Well, now you got us hooked, you gotta do all the other songs 😆
the way i agree with all of ur guys's opinions. honestly this made me appreciate fallen angel more smh, i apologize to the entire continent of europe for sleeping on that song and TIX. caught me in 4k crying.
p.s: chocolate chip cookies.
thanks for watching till the end !! fallen angel was so adorable also made me shed a tear. it was one of Alena's favs too so we just had to watch it
I CRIED when Andreas came on.
Honestly, we in Norway were just glad he had a good time.
Warning, tears ahead:
Fallen angel is a very different song from Tix's usual style
The only other song similar to that is one in Norwegian called "angel don't go" that he wrote for a young fan of his, Aurora, who died of cancer. She loved him so much that she had asked for him to be to her funeral, as she knew she would pass soon.
And he went to her funeral, even if he had a concert on the same day.
So, it's possible that Fallen angel is also about her and him not being able to deal with how important someone like him could be to her
Please react to other eurovision songs too, this video is great
The amount of tears I shed for TIX is crazy lol. I love your reactions, they're so fun!
Did you know that Tix (Norway entry) actually is a co-songwriter for Ava Max's "Sweet but psycho", and his song "Fallen Angel" beat Keiino's "Monument", in the song festival in Norway to choose who to represent Norway in Eurovision, with Keiino being a favorite as well as being the televote winner of Eurovision in 2019?
She was so proud when she said “it’s gonna be a surprise at the end” ahahah🥺😂
Yo you got all eurofans flocking to your channel now there's no going back lol
But honestly this sort of energy is what's missing in most reaction videos. Lots of love
thanks for watching till the end !! and yeah haha no going back it seems
Here in Europe we were very surprised by the popular vote for Destiny (Malta), we were expecting much more ...
If I may make a clarification the Eurovision Song Contenst is NOT a competition between countries (and their governments) but between "television broadcasters" that are associated with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) of which the CBC (as an associated television broadcaster) is also part. So, Canada could also compete if requested or invited
I saw video recently biggest differences where televote was low and jury high and there is loads of Malta and SM in that. Guess small countries don't do well with televoting most of the time. Song have to be exceptional to beat that and Destiny song was fine but nothing spectacular.
@@goran77ish I didn't say it was spectacular, I said we expected more
I think another reason why Destiny did not do that well in televoting was because half of the european population got her promoted tweets for weeks. When Saturday night came I was honestly already fed up with her, and based on other people's reactions on twitter that night I was not alone. Besides, the competition was wild this year. So many amazing entries!
@@Mayalost I think the most significant thing about televoting was the 267 points to Ukraine instead of the 318 to Italy.
I mean, "don't let us listen to the same stuff every year", more or less ...
Yes Malta was heavily promoted. Also many people thought that the lyrics felt like ripping off Israel's 2018 winning song. Too cynical attempts to appeal to the fanbase might end up souring it instead. Too bad for Destiny who really has tons of talent, but in the end the song was not good choice for her.
I'm from the Netherlands and I think I understand why our entry got zero points from the public. It is because the song is 'fine'. The German entry described it best: "I don't feel hate". To be loved by some requires to be hated by others. Nobody hated any of the entries in the bottom 5, so none of these were in anyone's top 10. Songs need to stand out.
Don't know if you have planned to react to more esc songs, but I liked and recommend, Greece, Lithuania and Finland. And Bulgaria.
1) I’m still not over Croatia not qualifying. 2) Norway was my favourite as well. 3) I also liked Azerbaijan, Sweden and Cyprus!
ay im from croatia and i feel u-
here for this content def want more: Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Lithuania, Israel and cheesecake
Yess
And Russia too!
This duo watching ESC is everything I need
That's illegal, you should have reacted to Azerbaijan before Norway 😂😂😂
Speaking from the Dutch perspective, I personally was quite upset we got 0 points from public voting. The power in having Jeangu McCrooy, a gay black man singing in Sranantongo (a language once forbidden in Suriname during colonial times) is so sad. That being said, pease react to Finland!!
Exactly, really upsetting how the lyrics were made fun of. It's a really beautiful, memorable song.
If I can give my two cents from a non-dutch european perspective, I think Jeangu's song was really hurt by directly qualifying, because it seems to me that the song didn't get the publicity it needed. To me personally, it was definitely a grower, it sounded not so memorable the first time I heard it, but now, after listening to it for some time, I really really like it! Maybe the public just needed to be exposed to it a bit more
@@ecenbt Italy who also directly qualified won this year and the Netherlands won in 2019. The song had the same exposure before the semi-finals as everyone else and they performed during a semi-final.
@@teachertraveler1 I mean maybe I'm wrong, maybe I was just out of the loop idk, but I felt like Netherland's song was really flying under the radar until the grand final (maybe because they didn't need to qualify? I don't know) and that's what I meant by publicity and exposure. I don't think we can compare italy's energy and performance with Jeangu, it was quiet easy to see why Italy was able to capture such a big part of the audience
Oh now we are scoring for diversity points and blame-messaging instead of music and performance? please no :/
Hey just wanted to let you know that I love your reactions to the music. Like thank you so much for being so excited and respectful, lots of love from the netherlands (btw you should watch the love story between TIX and Efendi, they’re amazing, Andreas is adorable)
Tix was one of the most sympathetic contenders. He was singing and dancing with all songs during recaps in the green. So much fun to watch.
“You’re gonna wake up the neighbor..” 😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Malta deserved more points from the public!!! And knowing that she had won the first semifinal and came third in the jury votes it makes even more upset 😠 😢 Also Norway they deserved more than seventy points!!! His song was so emotionally 🥰🥰 Anyway the only thing I would hoped is for Ukraine to come second instead of third place!! Have to admit this year there were so many amazing songs so it was a tough contest but!! Bring on Eurovision 2022!!! 🇮🇹 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Everytime i hear The Netherlands' song i get chills.. its so powerful honestly
that last eurovision video of yours is probably the best reaction video to this year's eurovision
Yess, I loved your first reaction and I was so happy to see this in my recommended! You could honestly do this for all the songs, plus other years, I'm sure we'd all watch haha.
Your reactions are so great! Keep doing what you do!
Cannoli and Panna Cotta of course! Amazing reaction! you girls stand out from the mayority of reactors on RUclips, with your expressivity and energy, love that this is not yet another lifeless reaction that doesn't add anything, keep going!
I loved Norway, how often do you hear someone singing about how insecure they are??
Quite often, honestly. It's not really an unusual thing
its like, one of the most common song topics I-
People sing about heartbreak, loss, betrayal, longing, etc.. I can’t think of any songs themed around insecurity.
@@phueal Let's just start with Creep and Teenage Dirtbag
@@apeflight5553 I’m not familiar with Creep, but I’ll look into it.
Teenage Dirtbag isn’t about his personal insecurity: he laments his lot in life, sure, but he’s not insecure in himself, and by the end of the song he’s got the girl and been fully vindicated in his identity.
You can tell that it’s not about personal insecurity from the songwriter’s description in interviews: “so when I sing: 'I'm just a teenage dirtbag', I'm effectively saying: 'Yeah, fuck you if you don't like it. Just because I like AC/DC doesn't mean I'm a devil worshipper, and you're an idiot.' That's where it comes from." - that’s not insecure.
fav dessert: tiramisu but with biscoff instead of coffee flavor lol
I know a lot of europeans don't like the phenomenon of other continents now watching eurovision but I'm honestly fine with them watching as long as they don't participate. Like we already have australia and israel, the last thing anyone wants is more countries from other continents (and we specifically mean the usa lol) to participate.
The more the merrier 🤣
aww thanks for watching till the end of the video!! eurovision isn't as popular in Canada (or my city at least) which is why I knew so little of it. i also wouldn't mind if Canada didn't participate
@@daniellesaha I don't think most Europeans would have too much problems with Canada or New Zealand participating in EuroVision seeing both are still within the British realm ... sorta. Although we can do without any extra competitors, seeing we already have so many members in the European Broadcast Union (even Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, (bonkers a.f. I know)). Perhaps a contest like the ESF but with countries from the Americas would be cool, or just the States within North America (50 from the US and 10 or 13 from Canada) competing in such an event. Just a thought.
PS: keep reviewing European (particularly Dutch) vids and you'll have a huge and loyal fanbase!
btw; is Alena single? Asking for a friend ... 😏
As an American yeah I get why you don’t us to participate, but the thing is that American Eurovision is being made and do you realize 1997’s winner is an a Kansas born American right?
@@umbresour1688 cool that you will do your own. it's perfect. you are happy, we are happy :)
I was hoping for Finland, one of the best of the evening!
TIX always makes me cry the song is so heartbreaking
I fell in love with Norway song from the 1st moment I heard it and now I love it even more
i literally just finished watching your other eurovision video, you guys are so great and comfortable to watch
I've been addicted to RUclips and Eurovision for 10 years.
I've never seen a more perfect duo than you two. I cannot even explain why, but this is just the perfect mix of genuine, funny, good vibes and you two are bff goals.
THANK YOU. And congrats on the sudden and super deserved success for the channel.
Tix from norway is now actually dating efendi from azarbaijan. They are really cute. Tix was my favorite I love everything he stands for
Yeeeees I want even more! Let her show you ✨everything✨
I love how open and honest your are in the reactions
I love these reaction videos but it was a crime to cut out the “excuse my French” part
As a norwegian, I was extremely surprised to see just how many people liked TIXs song. He usually does more 'russesanger' which is kinda like partying, going crazy just screaming lyrics not rlly giving a shit abt anything so its nice to see another side to it. As for this song, I must say I do prefer the Norwegian version, the meaning seems to show more than in the English version
As a Belgian having learned Norwegian I agree. The rejection aspect was more apparent in the Norwegian version which made the message stronger, and overall made the song feel more authentic.
Norway not only still vibes to "Mil etter Mil", the first song to ever get 0 points in the international final, but also made it's singer Jahn Teigen one of our biggest music icons, and treated his recent death as a national tragedy. I don't think we put too much weight on not doing well in the international final.
Also with all the ESC2021 reactions going around, it would be interesting if Alena picked out some songs for other years as well. (This is my roundabout way to ask you to react to Iceland 2019. Because if we are talking about "step on me" we need to talk about Iceland 2019.)
I couldn't agree more about Jahn Teigen and the fact that winning Eurovision is not that important to us. The most important thing is that we send off the artist we as people want to send, regardless of the person's chances of winning. It's more about us wanting to show Europe what WE like, and not what we think they will like. Norwegians wanted to share Tix with the whole world, and sent him to Eurovision - which was the right decision.
I remember when we still had a jury in Norway, and they chose a different song than the people wanted - people got very angry with the system, almost a riot. If I remember correctly, the jury was abolished after that, so now it is the people who decide who will represent Norway. Of course, the organizers help to influence through the invitation of artists and order in the Norwegian semi-finals and final of the MGP, and that's fine.
ayo, here's some more from the competition that i think you should check out !!
- russian woman by manizha ( russia )
- voices by tusse ( sweden )
- mata hari by efendi ( azerbaijan )
- el diablo by elena tsagrinou ( cyprus )
- dark side by blind channel ( finland )
- growing up is getting old by victoria ( bulgaria )
hope you enjoy :D
It's so adorable how Alena knows every songs lyrics 😍
please these are so good I need more!! Also the appreciation for culture is EVERYTHING, especially in the last one
lolll your friend's evil smirk when she said there's a fun surprise at the end of the san marino performance
Thank you for the love for the Netherlands! Proud Dutchie here :) The song still moves me and I love the expression and power that Jeangu put in it
I nodded pretty aggressively during everything Danielle said about Croatia and about the Croatia-Netherlands comparison. Pre-show, it was my favorite entry out of the 39, and then came the performance, and I could easily see why, too, unfortunately. Glad Alena explained the message and background of Fallen Angel and TIX. It makes the song so much more special and meaningful. So glad you enjoyed all of these! Cupcakes.
Please do more! Basically I just wanna watch you watch the whole thing 🤣 Also check out Graham Norton being a sassy Eurovision icon. He does the UK commentary for Eurovision and he has some hilarious comments you would LOVE! Also, I love cheesecake ❤️
You should totally react to Efentix it's so cuteee, the biggest highlight of this Eurovision
I literally cried during the performance of Fallen Angel. It was just soooooooo beautiful, the message and what Tix stands for, and also when he took off his glasses. I became a big fan of him :)
as far as I know, people tend to not really vote for the country that's hosting so that they're not there again next year
I could be wrong, but it's happened pretty much every year I've witnessed!
Thank you for the reaction of the Netherlands, it is a great song and I’m very okay that we didn’t win because we pulled out all the stocks on this one. But I am tired of hearing people say he wasn’t good enough even in the Netherlands itself.
The song maybe isn’t one to listen to on a regular basis, ‘cause it’s an Anthem.
Your channel and vibes are SO good! Here's to hoping you'll prosper. 🤞
You guys brighten up my day with your reactions. Thank you. Sending love from UK ❤
I'm pretty sure I read that Tix wrote even for Flo Rida. Eurovisionception.
TIX wrote the song Game Time for Flo Rida
Tix wrote with Ava Max the song sweet but psycho
Yeah a part 2! Go on girls.
Do this every year, one of the most fun non European reaction videos to watch 🙂
No disrespect or something, I love it.
RED VELVET CAKE!
Also, some of my favorites (that you haven't seen yet) were Australia, Azerbaijan and Israel. So good!
Loving these videos
thanks for watching till the end !! i might have to react to those!
@@daniellesaha of course! i love your whole vibe!
i hope you do even if it's just in private lmao
@@daniellesaha react on Serbia-HURRICANEEEEE
I don't have a fav dessert, I just like a lot of desserts.
Some other songs that would be cool to react would be: Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany and Serbia.
a respectable answer
I found you thru that eurovision video and I subscribed, you seem so nice and genuine❤️
Tix has been everything this Eurovision!! I adore him 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Girl idk how you got in my recommended but this is the second video I got for you and I just wanna say that you’re absolutely beautiful
#efentix in my heart!! I really love TIX song it really gets to me, I myself has tics so I just relate.
PLEASE I NEED MORE, THIS IS THE BEST DUO EVER
Loved these videos! I hope you do more, there’s over 65 years of back content from Eurovision, and I think you’d have a lot of fun looking back too! Congrats on the massive view and subscriber spike (you won me over) and good luck with future content!
(Oh yeah apple crumble)
i work in a coffee bar in amsterdam (very different from a coffee shop lol) and the singer of the dutch entry came in and he was literally the sweetest person ever :’)
Lol I am Alena for every song just casually mouthing the words while showing the songs to my friends. Also my fav dessert is brownies, thank you for asking. ALSO ALSO, the problem with the voting system isn't that Britain, Spain and the Netherlands got 0 points from the public or the juries, they didn't get ENOUGH votes from the public to warrant points in the current point system. But historically, the hosting country does not get a lot of points, and most of the big five (except France and Italy) will also stay in the bottom ten. That's just the way it goes, sadly. Because Birth of a New Age is such a good song and totally a breath of fresh air for Eurovision for sure!
I loved Tick Tock and was pretty sad it didn't make it through, but I like it as a guilty pleasure song anyway.
Norway's song is sooo cute, it took me a couple of listens to actually love it, but I adore it now (especially because I am trash for really sad break-up songs).
IF you guys are looking for songs from older Eurovision song contests, can I recommend "Is it true" from Iceland in 2009, "Together" from Ireland (Ryan O'Shaugnessy - there was a big controversy because of the act, so the contest wasn't shown in China because the EBU wouldn't allow them to sensor what happened on stage), and "I can" by Blue (because it is SO hilariously bad, it's sooo bad, please learn the dance and then sing the song as dramatically as they do). Lots of love!
I love Tix his performance was so emotional!! The end 🙁 he's such an insperation to people who relate to him his song I loved. Commenting from MLT Destiny is a queen!
You two are so precious and have great humor :D love your reactions!!!
Greetings from Germany, haha
usually reaction videos arent my thing but your reactions and comments are everything DO MORE!!!
fav dessert is chocolate and coconut pastries hihihi
So for context for the Dutch song. The twisting of words is true in fact. When the song came out on the radio, it was one of the first times people in the Netherlands heard the sentence: yu no man broki, which can be misheard as: you are my broccoli. I misheard that too. It was even in the Dutch media, like.. people thought it was a song about broccoli. Such a big misunderstanding.
Personally, I still hear broccoli but other than that.. it's really catchy and a great song! Powerful massage. Credits to Jeangu
Yu no man broko mi* sorry haha
I’m dutch myself and what she meant about twisting the native language, its called a mama appelsap and we dot that with every song if we hear something else with it. We (most of us) were not making fun of it, we enjoyed the song very much but heard something else. We treated the song as every other song ever.
You should do a video where you guys compare the songs of each artist from 2020 when the contest got cancelled and the songs they chose for the 2021 contest and score them which one you think was better and gave them higher chance of winning. :)
That situation was a first in Eurovision history
Malta was so awesome,i loved destiny's song so much,she was also the winner of Junior eurovision song contest 💗💗💗 btw you have to do another part ,i LOVE YOUR REACTION❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
I would love to see you two react to the awarding of points after you watched all of the songs
Albina was such a QUEEN 👑🇭🇷👑
hmmmm, probably creme brulee.
also the best eurovision reactions by far, cant believe this is your first time doing these^^
you guys are such a mood, I'm having lunch at work enjoying watching you react to all of these.
and Alena you have the BEST taste, all of my favorite songs
PERIODTTTTT CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 1,000 SUBS BABBYYYYYYYYYY
thanks shannon !!
2000 subs actually---
I'm happy of being one of them
@@daniellesaha I’m down just let me know when ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You should see the announcement of the scores, both the jury and the televote. It was crazy.
Maltas song was also against sexual harassment ("Just because I show some skin, doesn't mean I'm giving in") and I really loved the energy of her and the song. I was truly shocked when you said she was 18, she seems so much more mature.
I really really liked Malta, she was one of my faves with France and Iceland!
I really enjoy your reactions xD
Heat up half a cup of milk, dissolve two or three oreo cookies in it (depending on the size of the cup), add two or three scoops of vanilla ice cream and top with chocolate sauce. That's my favourite dessert 😉
Sweet reaction and thanks from Amsterdam. Liked our song for it's message but think his song last year was stronger!
*CROATIA To think that Albina didn't even qualify in final is hurting so bad.*
*THE NETHERLANDS - I love the African beat, I love the lyrics, Jeangu was so underrated. Fun fact: Jeangu performed on stage with his twin brother.*
*SAN MARINO - Meh, so avaerage. Flo Rida didn't helped at all.*
*NORWAY - Tix was funny with his relationship with Efendi but other than that his song was so average. I remember, was so surprised to see him qualify in final.*
*MALTA - Malta was amazing but i totally see an inspiration of Netta's 'Toy. Destiny's voice is amazing but she got the right place in final.*
Maybe it was average but i have bever been listening to the other song soo much if i dont count my own country Czechia🇨🇿💞🇳🇴....so im even not from Norway was really happy when he qualified soo sad that there are quite a lot of toxic fans like the ones of Keiino sorry not sorry wasnt impressed with their song from 2019 either and back then ofcourse i havent got to know Andreas Haukeland yet.
Thank fuck I am not the only person on the internet who saw Senhit's crown and thought it looked like a damn Old Testament angel. I googled around after I saw it in the rehersals and could not find any discussion in this topic, I thought I was going crazy and was the only person who saw it.
