She is so pretty! This song is catchy and those stunts are awesome! Everyone is talking about the flip, which they should, but I also really liked the part where she used the guys like a staircase and ended with that lift spin thingy. Her breath support during this is really impressive! I also liked the little gasp at the end of the really big note and I hope she keeps it in!
It’s funny to come back here with hindsight knowledge. You were like, “I can see the potential in this, but they should change this and this, and the song could use a revamp”, and they literally went out and did everything you guys suggested. I am so impressed with how Malta has maximised their potential, and how well Sarah is doing: every performance was better than the last one. Of course they will never completely shake off the slomo comparison, but I think they have made enough changes to make it their own thing. Long story short: we need this in the final, vote! 🇲🇹❤️
This isn’t one of my favourite entries, like you said it’s very Chanel but it’s not Chanel. The stunt was brilliant and I think with some changes it will be quite good.
I have high hopes of a Malta Q this year. Personally I would have loved to see Venom get the ticket but I also wasn't ready for people to try and make Destiny comparisons. Give Sarah a cute bodysuit and revamp the chorus and she can do well in a televote, juries would also give this something. Let's remember how almost everybody wrote off Poland last year, and then they spruced it up as much as they could and she came 3rd in the semi and 8th in the final televote.
I'm so happy about all this Eurovision content. I really thought Banana 🍌 was going to win for a minute 😂 I'm not convinced this will qualify but keeping my fingers crossed as I'm still harbouring my childhood dream that my home country will win one year 🇲🇹 inħobbkom Novympia!
the side by sides with Chanel / Noa are pretty damning with respect to comparisons. I think she has the talent and if they tweak / rework the choreography to be less "the same" it will do well. The flip is the moment tho!
I love this, I think it has so much potential and it's super catchy. I currently have it in 3rd on my scoreboard, it has definitely grown on me since the NF
i didnt mind this, i was never truly in love with any of malta's songs this year, maybe Ryan but just cause he had the objectively better voice, this i see goin either way, surprised Erba didnt get as many points since so many people were gunning for it
I have not seen this performance yet, but I do see the similarities to Chanel. However I wonder how much it will affect the voting outside the fandom. I think last year showed that most people are watching it the night of and picking up the phones for what they see and like first. At least that’s my theory for a lot of the results last year (like Austria and France placing low and Poland doing so well).
A take I have (idk if its hot or cold tbh) is that we really didn't need as many ballads in here as we got. We could have dropped one of them for other actss, like Miguell Bonello for instance. Idk, Loop is a fine song, and Sarah sells it well, its probably gonna end up middle of my top, just because this just isn't my type of music (I'm a rocker girl by heart). I love your reactions so much btw, and you're both really pretty❤
I've got Czechia's Pedestal as my #1 so far. I know there are a few more to come v soon. This one isn't in my Top 5 at the moment. The one thing that puts me off is the same rhythm that is used by a lot of Spanish influenced song. That generic beat that Despacito had. I'm sure Malta will qualify.
Few singers can do this singing and dancing like Jennifer Lopes, beyonce. ❤Sarah Bonnici is a pop star already. 🎉 Who things that Chanel is original must be a dum. She was inspirer by others too.
I'm sorry but the music video for Loop is fierce... Her life performance was amazing. This song is a banger. SloMo was compared to Fuego... And both did amazing.
I’m semi-new to Eurovision thanks to the girls here…I’m from the states and have a good idea of how this works. I’m interested to see how sini sabotage Kuori mua does…I love that song
I think with the right vocal training/prep for the performance, i think it can do well. The Chanel comparisons are definitely there, hope this doesn’t become the entire narrative
I love this performance, very dance heavy. But I wouldn't put on the song by itself to enjoy it. That being said - she's milking the absolute f out of this. It would garner a vote for effort - not neccessarily for the song itself, which is kind of what Eurovision jury and audience is looking for.
I didn’t watch the final because I was convinced Karma was going to win. Wanted loop from the start but the poll had them not winning, so I lost faith. Soo glad it won. There’s a lot going on here and has a lot potential. I’m confident of this qualifying from semi final 2.
We currently feel a bit iffy with the lyrics and how they fit into the rules of the contest - we'll react to it once we've figured out how or if to address our concerns 💕
I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The flip is mad. I’m not super into Eurovision so how much does Chanel comparisons matter to the broader viewership at the final? Or is it a big deal for the semis?
Chanel finished 3rd at Eurovision and quickly became a big icon within the fandom. Without a few changes, comparisons will be unavoidable, and may hurt her in both semis & the final.
The one thing she needs first and foremost is a damn head mic lol. If there's any dancing, always always ditch the hand mic and get a head mic. There's also parts of the choreo that should be revised to better suit her. When she's doing that ground forward split, she doesn't have the flexibility for a full split and it looks a little ridiculous so best just to pull that entirely and do something else that her body can actually manage lol. She's super expressive with her hands, so handicapping herself by having to hold a mic the whole performance is a detriment to her and if she would wear a head mic to free up both arms for the whole performance she could open up so much more choreography and really elevate the performance factor. Also while the vocal isn't perfect, I'm giving her brownie points because she isn't overdoing it on production effects to enhance the vocal, and she does it all while putting on a performance incorporating a lot of physical movement which isn't easy. Practice will make perfect, and I think she will be one of the better improved acts by the time the live shows come. Excited for Malta's performance on the night, will be watching out for this one. :)
this may be a hot take but i like this song more than slomo. the performance and choreo are not up to the same level as chanel, but as a song i think it's more compelling.
I don't understand the whole blindfold part. The dancers dance with the blindfolds on which is impressive but for her, the stage goes to silhouette, she gets flipped, and then the blindfold is off already
i hate that entries are compared to chanel when eleni fourrera is the real inspo for all these entries :/ Fuego paved the way for sure but in this case it is a bit much LOL
The song is not awful but the dance routine is taking her breath away, could be improved upon and get them out of a semi final into the final but not the winner and I’m half Maltese, love your girls Nova and Olympia
We currently feel a bit iffy with the lyrics and how they fit into the rules of the contest - we'll react to it once we've figured out how or if to address our concerns 💕
The flip was done just last year by Noa Kirel, she copied it from her. I have no idea what is so impressive about copying other performers’ moves and call it “the stunt of the season”. And the other parts of the performance are just a lame attempts to imitate Chanel. She’s basically copying both Chanel and Noa
Noa's flip was a bit different actually - I just went back and watched it now. Also Sarah does hers blindfolded which makes it feel more impressive in our opinion. Either way, Noa wasn't the first person to do a 360 flip and Sarah won't be the last. Doesn't stop it being exciting to us during the dance break in Loop though.
@@Novympia What is she doing blindfolded? Standing there while other people are flipping her? And Noa WAS kind of the only singer who performed it on stage - this move is from cheerleading and acrobatics, it’s not a typical dance move. That’s why Noa’s dance was unique, it was like a cheerleading routine and it wasn’t done before
okay but like the ongoing violence and also the ongoing response to it? yet here we are still making content about a program i had assumed we were all in agreement we'd be abstaining from this year, again in response to said violence. im being vague with the wording here so if this comment goes dark i know its not from a youtube thing, i know its from a human person reading it and deleting it.
gonna get loopy on my poopy
Being spoiled with all these reactions I love it!!
Hiiiii, person from Malta here :).
I've been dying to get this review from you!!
Been your fan for a while now and I really love you guys
She’s gonna revamp and perfect the big note 🖤
Holy fraggles! That stunt was insane, it gave me tingles. 💜
She is so pretty! This song is catchy and those stunts are awesome!

The “stunt” was copied from Noa Kirel’s performance last year. The only thing she didn’t steal from Channel, is stolen from Noa.
I have high hopes of a Malta Q this year. Personally I would have loved to see Venom get the ticket but I also wasn't ready for people to try and make Destiny comparisons.

Honestly Venom gave more Christabelle's Kingdom vibes than anything Destiny... Loop kinda reminds me of Je me casse...

What a lovely, detailed reaction! Well done 👏

To quote the kids: She ate

Loving all these uploads!🥳

i actually really like this song and performance!!!
Love these reactions! Amazing move :)
i love this 😂 my no.1
I need LOOP on Spotify like NOW!!!🙏
Is it not even on Spotify?
I have not seen this performance yet, but I do see the similarities to Chanel. However I wonder how much it will affect the voting outside the fandom.

I'm excited!! are we getting an uptempo year?!? there's a lot of danceable songs so far
I just wish they'd send something in Maltese like pls
Yes they will revamp this again !
Hi love seeing you doing more videos also i want both your T-shirts your wearing .X
Thank you! Nova's shirt is from ASOS and Lymp's was from a market stall in Amsterdam 💕
nova speaking maltese is everything

Shall you be waiting for March 1st to react to Olly Alexander's song or will you be posting a wee video about initial thoughts of the snippet?
We'll wait for the full release! 💕
💜💜💜

I really wanted to get in the TV audience for the live final but the gits scrapped it and just did it prerecorded.
I am a lip gloss creator! I am currently making a Novympia inspired gloss!!!
Char is you see this, will you please upload a vid of the g spot bar. I’d love to see how it turned out. Love you char ❤️
I'm sorry but the music video for Loop is fierce... Her life performance was amazing. This song is a banger. SloMo was compared to Fuego... And both did amazing.

So do we - fingers crossed for tonight!! 🤞🏻
Me and my partner love you guys!

have you reviewed Luxembourg yet? much love to y’all you never fail to make me laugh❤️
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 okay thanks!
I IMMEDIATELY need you to release your Luxembourg review .. its on the bottom of both of yours, Its my favourite so far 😂😂😂
We currently feel a bit iffy with the lyrics and how they fit into the rules of the contest - we'll react to it once we've figured out how or if to address our concerns 💕
@@Novympia oh .. i haven’t actually figured out the lyrics 🙃 and have had it on repeat. I’ll do some research x

A head mic is an excellent idea! Yes I think we agree with you on everything else too. There's definitely potential here. 💕
I fear that the song contest has merged into a dance contest
are you going to react to Ukraine? its really good!
Absolutely! It's next on our list 💕
this may be a hot take but i like this song more than slomo. the performance and choreo are not up to the same level as chanel, but as a song i think it's more compelling.
The way i didn't even realise u released this until u said nobody watched it in the ukraine video..did youtube do an oopsie??
What you said in Maltese means 'I am feeling bad" (not goodbye) 😂
(It's a joke 😜)
🩷🩵💜💚🖤
I don't understand the whole blindfold part. The dancers dance with the blindfolds on which is impressive but for her, the stage goes to silhouette, she gets flipped, and then the blindfold is off already
It's mesh leotard season.
I was hoping for Sirena to win
i hate that entries are compared to chanel when eleni fourrera is the real inspo for all these entries :/ Fuego paved the way for sure but in this case it is a bit much LOL
No doubt she'd be on the left side of the board if the flip is kept in
The song is not awful but the dance routine is taking her breath away, could be improved upon and get them out of a semi final into the final but not the winner and I’m half Maltese, love your girls Nova and Olympia
ERBA' were robbed, Sirena was sooo good 😭
They had no charisma on stage they looked bored out of their minds 😅
@@Novympia I know but the song was everything 😭😭😭 anyways you are right they were meh on stage lmao
I think it has some potential but ehhh I dunno
Are you not reviewing Luxembourg? the way it’s never blurred out on your ranking but the others are 😂
We currently feel a bit iffy with the lyrics and how they fit into the rules of the contest - we'll react to it once we've figured out how or if to address our concerns 💕

Yeah no. It's not going to qualify and they deserve it for what their national broadcaster did to Aidan last year.
