[@lucassevero8813]

Agreed

[@ilb473]

Them and Farid

[@BenCreaven]

far better than the one that somehow won 2 years later…

[@ilb473]

@sorena.afshar so? Celine Dion is Canadian and she performed for Swiftzerland and won

[@turalhuseynov7830]

Thanks for reaction. 2:29 is a historical musical instrument "TAR". With love from Azerbaijan..

[@MrsAngelito0901]

This is still one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever :)

[@_semih]

I think Eurovision 2009 should be reacted.That year has so many beautiful entries.For example Fairytale,Dum Tek Tek, Always,Be my Valentine etc.

[@guybrush007]

I think that the instrument is called Tar, that's one of Azerbaijan national instruments

[@nadirnovruz]

True it is Tar.

[@yturan3129]

Yes true

[@hmxm639]

Azerbaijani style tar

[@nurayveysalli30]

Exactly

[@damin5587]

Persian dear not azari

[@HN-hk7bv]

The musical instrument in Arash’s hands is Tar .Folk Azerbaijani instrument.

[@alitahmasbi8141]

Persian

[@markinney]

More reactions to Azerbaijani entries please 🙏🏻💕

[@MarionTheCurious]

Another favourite of mine! Azerbaijan has great artists.

[@armina1708]

Arash is Iranian singer and he is NOT azrebaijan singer , He was forced to participate as an Azerbaijani

[@periodt6795]

@@armina1708 he is from North Iran, I think which is South Azerbaijan, so technically, he is Azerbaijani, also no one is forced to be in competition lol

[@imamkarim1117]

@@armina1708 He say that I am Azerbaijanian and you say he is not. Lol

[@devinhajjari815]

@@imamkarim1117 Technically he said that his grandmother was Azeri, so he’s only like 1/8 Azeri, and almost all of his songs are in Persian. (Don’t take this as some sort of attack on Azeris, I’m technically 3/4 Azeri 😅)

[@alitahmasbi8141]

Its Iranian ❤

[@karlJCompton]

This song is forever in my summer playlist.
This should have won in 2009.

[@Asa...S]

Anderz Wrethov, one of the Swedish songwriters of this song, also co-wrote "Fuego" (Cyprus 2018) and "To Late For Love" (Sweden 2019). He has co-written 17 entries to Melodifestivalen.
Almost every year Azerbaijan has had Swedish songwriters.

[@sharkfinn4]

And Arash himself is Swedish-Iranian!

[@nadirnovruz]

@@sharkfinn4 dont forget that North Iran area is South Azerbaijan so he is from there. ☺️

[@narminsydalyeva1739]

Yess, the name of this instrument is Tar

[@Denes2005]

Shame this only ended up 3rd because it’s absolutely awesome
Though yes, “Is it true” was just as awesome, and “Fairytale”… well that is contender for the best eurovision song ever

[@MsSarahelac]

Please make them react to Alexander Rybak with Fairytale! Eurovision legend

[@teo_heel]

What's about Eurovision Redemption? 10 days for voting ended 10 days ago... What a surprise. :D I'm waiting for some reactions...

[@CarlosPerez-te5kf]

I think in the next round they should react to some interval acts.
Like for example the first one should be the opening act of the second semifinal of 2016 What is Eurovision?

[@CarlosPerez-te5kf]

And when they are more Eurovision experts to Love Love Peace Peace

[@Asa...S]

Excellent idea. "What is Eurovision" is great, introducing new viewers, especially Americans, to Eurovision, and Love Love Peace Peace is great when you´ve watched a lot of Eurovision, since there is so much to recognize.

[@emanueledelferraro4979]

The best interval act is rainmaker in 2014. Every singer from every nation on the stage, all together

[@vogelmeister6809]

@@emanueledelferraro4979 or the madcon flashmob

[@Snestorm564]

Interval act from 2012 was amazing

[@virtual30]

Here you can see that Alex is a real queen :)

[@eyyubnesirov]

Interesting thing is the instrument that Arash pretend like he is playing is called “Tar”. Also internationally some string instruments ends with “tar” such as guitar, sitar, zither, santoor. Yet this one is just called “Tar”. It appears that it is very ancient instrument. I would be so happy if any of you tell me how old is this instrument. Thank you

[@icesam931]

[@yagmur_li8899]

Hi is Azerbaijani from iran ✌

[@republicofwestazerbaijan5817]

@mufuruzi Sami Yusuf is Azerbaijani. Arash is Persian. But Arash's one of grandfathers is Azerbaijani.
