    I think that Dons is very underrated among other artists this year, but i think that he deserves to get into Eurovision final

    • @aabolusula
      @aabolusula 10 месяцев назад +11

      He is underrated, cause he is from Latvia and not from some Sweden or Ukraine

  • @PoeticDream
    @PoeticDream 10 месяцев назад +18

    Yaaaay, my country :)
    I knew you'll like it, I was patiently waiting for your reaction! He's a professional singer in my country, one of the most popular ones. He is very good live vocalist as you could hear, and he's very experienced as well! He also wrote this song in Spain with some friends, he's also a songwriter for most of his songs.
    And he's also experienced in making the right live performances and since we don't have much budget, he was going minimal here so he can plan more for big stage.
    And I'm not sure, but it's possible that he possibly could revamp and improve this song even more, but that's only my assumption.
    But yes, I loved your reaction, thank you from Latvia!🇱🇻 after 7 years in row we can maybe qualify to final again...I hope so at least!

  • @mm5803
    @mm5803 8 месяцев назад +1

    Oh my gosh, the emotions at the end of the song. That got me right in the heart. He cried then I cried too.
    Whole song is so refreshing and beautiful and so well sung. This artist is the one I didn't know we need. Really happy and proud for him for being such well mannered on and of the stage. Beautiful voice, beautiful personality. My top 3 definitely. I will remember him when this is over.

      As someone who really loved Queen of Kings last year (my #1) I’m so glad to hear that someone from Norway likes this piece! Definitely an excellent vocal performance just like that was last year and I love the composition of the song. Very well done!!!

    • @valeriagreen4819
      @valeriagreen4819 8 месяцев назад +4

      I think it received bad reviews from people with limited interests and those who value form over substance.
      A great song and a skilled performer don’t need a flashy show and dancing. He stole my heart from the first notes 💙

    I totally LOVE this. A tinge of Ochman, Rag n Bone Man, I want this as a top 3. He is captivating, the staging is perfect here. His vocals make me drool. He looks perfect for the song. The video is jaw dropping too. He needs nothing else but his presence and vocals. Could win for sure.

    I read somewhere he lived in the US for some time.That's why he has that American pronunciation I think.As far as vocals he is my most favorite.He doesn't need extra flash or dance.It's enough the staging , the voice.He understands what he is singing about.
