Beth, please react to "Chitaozinho e Xororó: Se Deus Me Ouvisse" orchestra version.
It means "If God heards me"... "Xororó" is a country legend and has an incredible voice!
His brother is his partner, and on this version he is also singing with both of his sons (Sandy, a very known pop singer and her brother Junior, who is her musical partner).
PLEASE react to this: ruclips.net/video/b7j5dDzlelE/видео.html
Can you please react to 2024 Eurovision Portugal🇵🇹?
Grito is Scream in English, and Grito not appear in the lyrics..
Grito is the scream in the climax of the song, when she liberates from the demons represented by the dancers.
It is not commercial.
A masterpiece.
No one in the Eurovision compares to this.🇵🇹
"Ainda arde".. means "still burns", the flame that she still has inside of her.

So many people saying they don’t deserve the win. But WHY? That song is one of the most if not the most artistic song Eurovision has given us in the last 10 years.
the esc community became very toxic over the last few years unfortunately. its mostly croatian fans who spread their hate all over cause they cant cope with their second place.
Most people stopped at the outfit and haven't really listened to the song...
French fans are sore losers too. I am in France, and the hatred towards Nemo is insane, just because of the pink outfit and, of course, Slimane's defeat.
Because people love to put standards in everything and even though that art and creativity has no standards, they can not accept it or appreciate it. Of course here also homophobia is included by many haters, so that are the reasons that Nemo receive such a hate that actually do not deserve at all 🤷🤷🤷
Nemo is amazing!
@@fabienneclavier5984 slimane was never a contender.
They also have a version made with their home town symphonic orchestra that is playing a lot more into that opera aspect. And they wear Céline Dion's dress for it.
There also is an amazing acoustic version that perfectly showcases their voice
@@fabienneclavier5984 Their 😂😂😂😂
I saw that and it's amazing! And cosplaying Celine Dion was cute and genius lol
@@swvi9459theyre non binary
@@Laurasophiesmith You mean, sick in his head and has too many time to think about who he will win easier?
What I found really impressive about their performance, is that they weren't alone on Stage.
There was a Cameraman and two People in Blacksuits helping with various movements of the Disc.
And you can see none of those 3 no matter which Camera or Camera angle is being used. And it's a LIVE-Show. D:
It's so impressive as I don't know how one would coordinate these people. It's in the BTS of the Performance.
The unsung heroes of the show is the stage crew.
Heu... vous parlez de la prestation de Slimane, plutôt. Et non celle de Nemo ?
@@nathalievaillant5842 No there is audience videos of Nemo's performens and there is two people in blacksuits helping out the motor on the platform like running up and standing on the opposite end of the platform so it flip Nemo side up before they start the rap section of the song.
There are actually two steady cam operators on stage at one point.
One of the coolest parts of the performance is the part towards the very end with the cameraman walking around the disc in the opposite direction that it's spinning. Created such a really cool effect
This has become my favourite eurovision song of all time, can't get enough of it!!
@@Stefan_W. I've heard waterloo, who hasn't? We all have our opinions haha
Fairytale will always be my fav but I really love this.
@@Stefan_W. How is The Code about politics? You need some help immediately!
@@Stefan_W.saying "no politics" as if having a message on a song somehow hinders it's artistry is... well, dumb as fuck. I'd add to what you said about assholes that not only everybody has one, but also, some people are one on top of that. And that's the vibe given by your rancid skepticism about Nemo being non binary
@@Stefan_W. How was Nemo a man when released the song? Did you ask this person personally how was feeling and when was ready to reveal it? Your conspiracy theory is just ridiculous 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Exactly! Singing so amazingly while engaging there core leaning back like the matrix was the cherry on top such a flex haha ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Exactly! It was a nod to the other Nemo!
@@fabienneclavier5984 wow haha how did I never realise that 🙈😅💚
The song and performance are both amazing and, as a nonbinary person myself, I'm really proud of them for being the first enby to win Eurovision. Incidentally, I never knew that Nemo means no one. That really puts an interesting spin on Jules Verne's Captain Nemo.
Plus also on Nemo in "the Matrix"!
There is no such thing as non binary u....tw
Non-binary = "hey, look at me!"
Non-binary is reality-phobic
@@novakgoatovicthere is actually. It's funny how we humans tend to invent words that describe ourselves 😅
Lowtiergod yourself
I'm so glad Nemo won; not just because they ABSOLUTELY deserve it, but also because this will now open Eurovision up to more daring and experimental songs in the future. Yes!
Omg as a huge eurovision fan this makes me so happy that you are reacting to this! Fully justified too, so happy they won! 😍🤩❤️
That was a great and professional analysis from you. I liked it very much. Greetings from Switzerland.👏
Thank you very much!
What a nice review! Thank you very much!
There's no surprise Nemo knows how to sing opera: Before they became a rapper and starting at the age of 9, they performed in children's operas and in a leading role in a musical called "ich war noch niemals in New York", a musical btw. based on Udo Jürgens songs. Udo Jürgens was a Deutsche Schlager performer and ESC winner back in the 60-ies (for Austria). Nemo's story has many facettes.
They??? 🤣🤣🤣
@@haivan4oyes, they.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
you are very entertaining and give good insights too. thanks
I appreciate that!
Love your review, thank you Beth!
Great song and singer.
This is genuinely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard - the raw energy, they’re absolute fire. Sheer technical and artistic achievement that this song is
Thise breaths at the start are part of the performance... In the music video as well. I think it is to symbolise the effort or the hill they have had to climb to realise their truth
Wow good job on researching thank you from Switzerland 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the BEST analysis of the song I have ever seen! Thank you!
This was the best vocal performance of this year's Eurovision hands down. They should be proud with their victory! Well deserved. 🧡💛🧡
I have been utterly obsessed with Nemo's The Code performance, it's such a beautiful piece of artwork that I keep finding more and more layers and patterns the more I dig into it.
The performance itself is this incredible piece of story telling to me. Nemo previously had a song This Body which opens with "If this body was a house, I'd burn it down" and was about their struggles with feeling uncomfortable and mis-identified with their body. This performance almost embraces their body as just a component, not the defining feature, of who they are. The performance is also such a physically demanding piece that I can't help but feel that Nemo is more comfortable in their body than most, they have this mastery over it.
The spinner is also this symbol of fluidity. Nemo has a spinner on a necklace they're wearing during the performance too and mentioned how they love the spinner because of how it needs to be fluid to be stable. As the performance goes on the more we watch as Nemo tells us their story through the spinner! It begins as this mountain to be climbed and they struggle. Slowly slowly they begin climbing it faster and more skillfully. There are stumbles along the way, and as an audience member I feel their emotions through it all. I feel afraid for them that they might fall and get hurt, I feel the joy and fun they have as they ride it. More fluidity is included as the performance goes on and the more Nemo masters this crazy ride of theirs. They finish beautifully balanced atop the spinner.
An absolute masterpiece and what I've gushed about here isn't even the half of how this has tickled my mind - truly art!
Ooh, I was hoping you'd review this! Some other reactors have loved it, but I expected visceral delight from you, and I wasn't disappointed! 😊 There's so much going on here, and I knew you'd take the time to recognize them all! 💕
Thank you so much for reacting to this singer and their song, and for sharing your joy and excitement with us.
What a fantastic review.
Glad you liked it!
The chromatic melody from the beginning reminds of the Carmen aria (l'amour est und oiseau rebelle).
Yes! I hear that!
I'm so happy for Nemo 😭
Finding your true self and having everyone celebrating with you 😌
I can't give you more than one like for this reaction, but I love it!!!
It's a great song, that delivers! Such a great reaction you've provided!
There is a Piano Version recorded in the Organ Hall at Zurich University of Arts (ZHdK)
Nemo - The Code is a Masterpiece! ❤
I'm sad so many people dismis this song because of Nemo's identity. It's truly one of the most musically interesting songs I've seen on eurovision. I didn't watch the second semi and was shocked on the finals night because it was such a clear winner to me. Great song.
I got full body chills twice in this ESC finals. Once when Nemo did this, and then a couple of minutes later when Slimane started singing. So derserving winner omg, that voice control!
I love your reaction to this one. Usually vocal coaches only lean into the technicality of the singing. But you really saw it all, both the songwriting, the emotions, the singing(ofc) and staging aswell. One of the best reactions to any song I have ever seen ever actually. Love it!
Nemo as a kid was Papageno on stage so that is a part of their musical journey
That too! Plus he had a leading role in a musical called "Ich war noch niemals in New York", based on Udo Jürgens songs.
@@markusstudeli2997 saw that too and they were just a kid back then; so cute and good
I love Nemo and I am so happy they won. I think the breath here is really part of the show, as you have indicated already. They started singing opera at age 13. Your reaction is so beautiful :).
And I have just started following you on Spotify - just wow!
Beautiful reaction, thank you very much! ❤
I love this song, loved it from the first time I heard it on the radio, and you expressed a lot of what I feel when I am listening to it.
Best regards from Switzerland 🌞❤
Congrats on your album 🎉 As for Nemo's song, it joys me to see an expert reaction like yours, with heart - their musical composition, lyrics, voice and personality combo make this win so satisfying! I watch ESC every year and I haven't loved a winner (or contestant in general) this much for a long time. Like you say, their energy and message is inspiring.
Now I'll add your album on Spotify! Saw many of your knowledgeable reactions over the years and I'm so happy for your creative energies 😊 PS Album is not on there but singles are gold 🎉
Nice discovery! Thank you Beth :)
Love your review, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Nemo has studied opera when they were in their childhood. So that’s why Nemo can do this kind of opera like singing
Thank you for your very interesting and careful review, it‘s a joy to listen to someone who can appreciate and value Nemo‘s
performance from a professional point of view 🩷🙌🏼!
May I add that, for me, the chromatic scale at the beginning is inspired by the aria „L‘amour est un oiseau rebelle“ from Bizet‘s opera Carmen. Carmen is a bohemian and an outsider herself, which would suit the meaning of the song‘s lyrics very well.
That makes so much sense, now I've heard it I can't unhear it!
You are the first that gets behind the song and the lyrics ❤❤❤❤ my favorite reaction 😊😊
It's not a reaction, it is an analysis.
their happiness and personality... fills this entire scene, there really is no need for anything more than Nemo, they are contagious with their joy... their soul can save this world!
This was so great and your reaction made me tear up all over again. Their win is such an emotional one for me and what a voice!
I hope you react to 🇮🇪 Bambie Thug - Doomsday Blues next. They have such a creative&unique song and their staging is some of the best ever seen at Eurovision.
Also a very vocally diverse song, with a very difficult choreography.
@@cvbattum Definitively.
Spotify was on shuffle and then "the code" came up and i felt this connection to it so i searched more 'bout it and then you mention it being the winner of the Eurovision... now I know why I had such a connection to it.
Love your review of this. I thought the song was fantastic, and the artistic performance, the moves, the moving plate … it was simply divine and so well deserved a win!
Such fun..funny..creative..dramatic..seriously musically well-done! It's no Magic Flute by composition..but overall, it's a stunning production. He is soo talented. Hope he swims on to further success! Sorry..couldn't resist. 😊
Dalla scala cromatica iniziale della Carmen al rap..allo style bond acuti da soprano ...e tutto questo senza autotune...e in acrobazia...fenomenale...inarrivabile... patterns batteria travolgente...la sezione brass type 007 sull acuto...GENIALE...
Great song, great reaction video - love the details about where some of the artistic elements come from. I also respect the singer. even if I only saw one person singing, not plural.
Being in that arena when they sang this was the most magical. They captivated everyone! Loved it so much.
Very intriguing action going on here. Have to listen to it again. Thank you dear girl.
Well, you are lovely and your pure joy at Nemo’s skill made this analysis even more meaningful ❤❤❤❤
I knew since I first listened to it that he was inspired by Magic flaute… genius move there! Thanks for letting everybody know
Song writers: What genre should we use in your song?
Nemo: YES!
There was actually a tiktok Nemo and their team made where they were in a board meeting naming genres they could use and Nemo just goes 'yes'
Nemo's breaths as they ascended the disc at the beginning are supposed to be there, the whole section represents the uphill struggle and we pant as we are struggling up hills. The breaths are on the studio recording too.
It sounds like a James Bond song. A good one.
I love how you have info on the screen to contextualize while you're talking, a nice touch to people who want to learn more about the stuff you're mentioning.
At the beggining, the music is from the opera Carmen (by Bizet).
What a wonderful review full of warmth and appreciation . Thank you for the preparation of this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Most professional comment and important voice information I have heard. Just great, and I appreciate Nemos performance now even more… ❤️
Thank you!
I really hope you react to Irelands entry Bambie Thug. That was my favorite act this year
Mine to
Finally someone with good taste
Vocally speaking, Ukraine Ireland Italy France (and Greece imo) are all very interesting!
Agreed, my fave vocalists this year together with Nemo.
This is such a great, informational breakdown!
Glad you enjoyed it
Your analysis was such a delight to watch ❤ From the opera references into their personal life, I enjoyed it soo much
Thank you so much!
I have a lot of online friends from Europe, and we have a tradition of watching Eurovision online together.
This was the first song where I ever heard one of them shout "Holy shit!" They absolutely kerbombed it out of the park with this one.
Thank you so much for this reaction. You are very knowledgeable. Listening to you was like a mini lecture. I learned things i didn't know and you did absolute justice to this multi-layered song. Hugs.
Glad it was helpful!
He is fantastic ! Greetings from Finland.
its already more than a month since eurovision and i still cant get enough of this song.Listen the code on everyday condition
Me too, don’t know how many times I listened to this song, and there is no feeling of ‚the song declines or becomes boring‘, it is as I listen this song the first time. It is a very touching song for me, and I cannot control my tears listening to it, it is too overwhelming to me. A beautiful song and an incredible artist. ❤
beth i love your reacts !
OMG the way you got lost in emotions at the end... I felt that same ... interestingly I also feel like that when listening to some good trance :))
And yet people say they didn’t deserved to win 😫
Switzerland win was the first Eurovision Song Contest ever, in 1956 with the song refrain.
Oh Lady, indeed you feel the Mojo. Kudos!
It's so heartbreaking 🥰and emotional 🥲to listening to you 🙆 and Nemo 🐟. Great cinema!🏟
I love that observation of how the post-bridge sounds very Bond-like! I never pieced that together until now but I could ABSOLUTELY hear that upwards line and cadence/instrumentation during the "oh"s in a Bond film!
Yes i am happy that Nemo won the eurovision this year because that song is so difficult to sing with all that movement on the stage, he can still sang those high notes. I am from switzerland and i have heared that he started as a opera singer since 9 years old but he was more popular as a rapper here. He won 5 swiss music awards in his career and it is the 3rd win already for Switzerland in eurovision song contest. Lyss Asia(Refrain) 1956 winner and Celine Dion (Ne partez pas sans moi) in 1988 and this Nemo (The code) 2024.
I think it's a shame that so many people criticize and judge Nemo so often just because of his non-binary nature and his outfit, instead of seeing the entire work of art in this performance, which includes Nemo's personality, his personal story in his life. As a 68-year-old woman, I have great respect for Nemo to have such a great deal of musical ability, a great voice and to carry so much warmth and love within.
Nemo uses they/them (:
@@ender4384 I'm sorry that I sometimes forget to use the correct pronoun, but I think the main message of my words is still understandable 😊.
@@y.b.9164 it is i was just saying, that's why i put a "(:" to hopefully not come across harsh (i struggle with text tone)
@@ender4384 Everything is fine. My English is far from perfect so I don't always understand everything right away. But I think we agree 😊
😘😘😘
Impresionante supongo que es teatro músical me gustó mucho como interpreta la canción lmprecionanteeeeeeeeee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀😊
Sparks vibes there! I like it!
The chromatic part at the beginning is inspired by the Habanera from another opera called Carmen by George Bizet. Nemo also noticably quotes the same baseline in this song.
Fun fact, "nemo" does indeed mean "nobody" in Latin, but in Oromo it actually means "the man", so the word can be taken as either an insult or a compliment. now I suppose the word "man" wouldn't really fit for a non-binary person, but it might not even refer to gender, since things are often loosely translated to understand the context better, like the word "bro" doesn't necessarily refer to gender or blood relatives.
i'm AFAB and a singer and non binary myself. I so love this song. " between the Oh's and ones." the lyrics is also very good.
Nemo’s breath control is out of this world.
Please react to some more of this years Eurovision (in particular Ireland)
I have a question I was trying as a singer to imitate the notes in the woah oh oh oh. I can do it slowly, but when I try to do it faster, I can’t, so do you have any tips or advice to like be able to reach the notes perfectly and at the same time be fast. thank you❤
Please react to bambie thug. Such an amazing performance vocally and visually
You should react to either Norway or Croatia’s entries as well
Armenia was my winner. So much fun. Ladaniva.
heard some more of her and she has an amazing voice. Also, spontaneously started singing in flawless Italian during an interview....
At the beginning there is also a remembrance of Bizet’s opera Carmen (l’amour est enfant de bohème) in the bass and the chromatic descent…
Thank you for explaining WHY it was good. Personally it was not my favorite, but as my partner always says to me "the judges judge on technique and other things we normal people don't really notice" i really wish as a part of the show we saw the judges reasons so we could learn something about the music, because i love to learn
That would be really cool!
Reminds me a bit of Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens!
In the beginning, his chromatic scale reminds me of Bizet "La Habanera"
Buenisima presentación, ojalá puedas reaccionar a Ucrania. Saludos desde chile
❤🧡💙💜💚🤍🖤
Would love your reaction to Ukraine, and Ireland!
Beautiful song, and you can definitely also pick up on a James Bond vibe in the instrumentation
Can you react to Bambie Thug - Ireland's Eurovision entry?
Hey Beth I was wondering did u react to Charlotte Sands? I recently found her and I love her since. Especially her songs Blindspot and Alright! If not pleaaaase listen in to her :)
Not to be a bitter little frenchie cause I'm really happy Nemo won, they were incredible but I would absolutely love to hear your reaction to Slimane - Mon Amour , hes the artist who represented France and he has an incredible voice, I would love to see what you think of it ♡
If you're a vocal coach, I recommend you to see the 4th place of Eurovision Slimane and his song mon amour.
I think Nemo found inspiration for the magical spin on the disc at the end from the gold medal winning performance of
British ice skater John Curry at the 1976 Winter Olympics ..... at 4.47 below .......
ruclips.net/video/z79TMsYRnEc/видео.html
Before the ESC, I was describing this to other people as Bruno Mars singing a James Bond theme that's on steroids.
