      Hello ,as you are a classical musician there is a band and singer you just must know about and do a reaction to ,they are from Finland but their lead vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch ,Nigtwish is a Symphonic Metal band , the Symphony elements are from the London Philharmonic almost all songs are written and composed by the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, they are the most reacted to band on YT with an average of 30 reactions a day, their masterpiece Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 is also the most reacted to performance ever on YT, its' utterly unique and epic , possibly unlike anything you have heard or seen before, hope you will give it a go, be fore warned tho your channel will be swarmed by one of the biggest fan bases's on YT and you just may get addicted to this amazing band and singer, cheers

    Thank you for your rating! It's always a pleasure listening to your well explained comments.
    Here's my personal Top 10:
    1. Norway (Just love the build up and its passionate, extatic nature)
    2. Switzerland (great mix of genres, all really well performed, great message as well)
    3. Italy (I really like, how she shows, that a pop song doesn't need to be standardized and can have lots of variety. Great vocals as well and I love her attitude and charisma)
    4. Armenia (As you said, it's uplifting, joyful. It will be quite a highlight in the show)
    5. Croatia (Fun and energetic song with good lyrics as well. I can see why it's a favorite of the public)
    6. Serbia (Really beautiful song, that will stand out between all the loud entries. I hope it will be rewarded)
    7. Portugal (That song grew a lot on me, although it always let's me cry when listening to it. I guess a have a sweet spot for such melancholy)
    8. Belgium (The last minute is great. maybe the first half coud have benefitted from a bit more variety)
    9. Estonia (Fun and catchy song. Coul maybe have benefited from some more build-up or variety)
    10. Ukraine (Great vocals and rap. The song just lacks a highlight towards the end. Maybe the staging can compensate that. It looks pretty epic)

  • @miguellupi8709
    @miguellupi8709 8 месяцев назад +2

    Agree in general and specially about the winner. As it's more fun to discuss the differences of opinion:
    Latvia - sorry but I think we have heard this before. He sings very well but so does the French;
    Georgia - it's greatly performed but no matter the instrumentation, it's just a good pop song. Those lyrics mean very little;
    Armenia - it's fun for half of the song, then it gets repetitive. With the added thing of only being 2:30 mins. Greece is miles better in its mix of genres and not getting too repetitive.
    Ps: thanks for my country's14th place. I would take that now lol

    I'd say our lists are fairly similar. I very much enjoy the Belgian track but I think they're now in trouble given the waning attention on the song and somewhat disappointing response to the rehearsal footage. Croatia is my number one followed by Norway, and then it's between Belgium and Italy.

      Anyone who has in their lyrics "meow cat please meow back" shouldn't be considered a winner, let's be fucking real. Every day I keep realise how much that song is actually bad. People keep compare it to Kaarija, and soon they gonna say "Kaarija lost last year so Lasagna gotta win this year", so here you go, I'm gonna compare it too.
      That is not half as good as "Cha Cha Cha", weak production, exceptionally bad mixing, terrible lyrics (the "rim tim tagi dim" just for the sake of being catchy etc), the meowing community makes it even fucking worse, and let's not forget the lad CANNOT SING. The live DORA performance just picks it up out of the shit and dress this into fun to watch show with classic thing of having signature "dance"(?) move (that crouch with hand slams and kinda headbanging to the sides) and odd and still surprising for Eurovision rural elements like washing clothes or whatever was happening back there in DORA performance (casus of extremely pretentious Konstrakta e.g.).
      Disappointing & disgraceful that this is the contender to win Eurovision but well, have it your way, Europe. The contest will be mocked of having shit & kitschy music even more.
      I have no issues to other genres (quite the contrary), and if the "shout screaming" is a referrence to Norway, then let me tell you that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    Belgium has grown off me a bit (was also my #1) but it’s so disrespected in the fandom. So happy it’s valued here. It’s very clear this fanbase feels vindictive against anything that’s not a “girl bop” and I’m sick of how sassy they think they feel when they wish that this song gets last place. Like why. Happened last year with Watergun too. There’s a difference between not liking a song and then actively “praying for its downfall”… way to yuck other people’s yum - lol.

I love Slimane as an artist, and he's a top guy too, but this song is just a letdown for me (also, I live in a French speaking environment and used to live in France). If you consider that Hera Bjork's song, for example, for UK people is considered dated, then the equivalent for France would be Mon Amour to some extent. Don't get me wrong, I still think it will do very well and people will love it, but I consider it more of a cliche of France than an actual representation of France today.
