      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)

    Hi Rachel, great video and commentary as always! Glad you had a great time soloing Japan 🌸 and I pretty much have your top three in my tops as well. My number one is UK and Olly’s rehearsal photos got me so so excited! Also I think your Jigglypuff is actually an Igglybuff, which is Jigglypuff’s pre-evolution. Still a really cute plush though! 😊

      @eddielil348 but isn't it supposed to be a song that represents a country? How can't it be a typical French song when it comes from France. I just think that people have a problem with French representatives because they are being French. When they will be doing something else, it will be bad too.. Why don't we just appreciate how incredible a singer Slimane is ? Instead of complaining, how Frenchy does it sound?

      @ESC_ChrisM 25 днів тому +1

      @@monika7811 I think the issue honestly is that this doesn't really represent France as it is now. 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.

    Zemrën n'dorë… the one song that made me cry. There is so much emotion in her vocals, and then at the second chorus that beautiful harmony with the male background vocal… and everyone is praising Titan as an improvement, but I feel nothing, it sounds so flat.

    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.

    That was fun. Personally I am so so pleased that you chose Belgium over NL. Mustii sells this lyric and, from the moment I first heard it, I was imagining him singing it over the credits at the end of the final.

    Nice list, by the way! I'll say it's somewhat different from my list, I unbelievably put Malta in my top 10. Not usually my genre, but I find that one particularly fun to listen to. Other than that it's somewhat similar to mine. Though I definitely didn't try to judge by different categories! Very much just how I felt listening to them. Good video :)

    Well,well....i did not expect that. I also have Belgium as my No.1 , Italy in 3rd place but im afraid the party never even got started with regards to The Netherlands...its my 32nd place!!!! Sorry. Im a ballad boy 100% so France occupies my No.2.
    I fell in love with Belgium's entry immediately and i know it will remain an all time firm favourite of mine in years to come. love it. Ive been baffled by a lot of comments saying this may not Q but your thumbs up has chuffed me no end. So "thanks" and fungers crossed. An exciting week ahead ....Enjoy no matter what the end result may bring....its Eurovision and that means FUN.

After Belgium great songs came out and I have the feeling that everyone forgot about Belgium. For me now is Netherland, Joost, my winner, but Belgium still top 5

    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.

      Those people are chronically online and apart of the stanning culture, anyone who isn’t apart of that realises how silly and stupid they are. People get so invested and irrational just enjoy and support what you like. Whilst Belgium is without a doubt my number one song, i do think the end package could potentially end up mid despite being a winning song imo.

      @@Madam-Padam Oh absolutely. The stench of joblessness and lack of personality can’t be mistaken. I hate how the fanbase for this contest has been getting increasingly catty and tied to stan culture as the years go by. Eurovision is not just for them, it’s for everyone. No wonder people who aren’t in on these things are turning away from the contest year by year. I know this sounds cringeworthy but stan culture has done wonders for weirdos who don’t dare go in real life and act the garbage way they act behind these pfps.

These people fighting over this like they feel “threatened” by anything else that a lot of people seem to like, these artists doesn’t even know you lol.

    How funny. As a Belgian I only know the guy who sings / performs our song is Musti, but I really don't know the song. But Holland ... Joost Klein is absolutely the winner of this songfestival. Everyone likes the song and searches for his performances online. Who has won officially this year? Does anyone remembers after 2 weeks?

    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

    Oh hey, I was looking forward to your top 36 (I was confused at first; it's 37 right? I know why now, but lets not go there, I don't know how to feel about it anymore... 🙃)
    Anyway, Georgia, Croatia, Switzerland, Norway, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands are in my top 10, too 😊
    The other three are:
    - Ireland: what you don't like at the end - I love 😃
    - Estonia: your 31st - ouch lol I appreciate you saying that you understand that it has an audience (I'm part of it 😃), but it's not your "cup of tea" - fair enough
    - Finland: very similar, honestly; sure the chorus is a bit repetitive, but I don't really care about that in this particular case because it's fun and has a good message at the same time (be who you are and live your life, basically)
    I somewhat understand Armenia on your 7th, it's pretty nice (almost top 10 for me, too, not quite), but while I find the "lalalei" chorus fun at first, it gets really annoying really fast 😅
    What I personally find very interesting is that you put Belgium on your 1st place. I mean it's in my top 15, but not higher because while I appreciate the message and really like the harmonies in the chorus it's just too repetitive for me towards the end. Sometimes I don't care about that so much, but here it almost annoys me a bit for some reason. He sings the chorus 8 times and I can take 4 times in the same way, but I wish in the last 4 times were some other singing arrangements (e. g. going higher when singing "over")? Do you know what I mean? It might be a small details, but if it were different, it would be in my top 10, too.
    And UK's entry is just not really for me (top 20 somewhere), but hey 🤷‍♀✌🙂

But, even if she doesn't win, she will have the success she deserves.
