- I only roast by one rule. And that rule is... No Rules!
My hot takes and predictions on all the Eurovision songs on display for you all to see. A (somewhat) roast of Eurovision this year.
The jury has been removed from the semis this year so...Yeah. RIP Dons.
I think I have thoroughly avoided investing in Ukulele lessons.

This is a commentary and falls under Fair Use. I made the windows smaller and have no background audio to keep the peace. - Розваги
It's really nice to see the rich variety in languages we are getting his year!
Also glad Estonia even is using Estonian, furthermore with a very interesting artists (Puuluup) for they use a very niche instrument called Hiiu Kannel and their own songs are unique in style and their own use of language (check them out, they mix together Estonian, English, Russian, Finnish and other languages and listening to it is an experience to say the least).
It's clear the song had more weight placed by 5Miinust, known rap artists. Wish they had a little more influence on the song to give it an identity, but I'm glad they're getting this nonetheless!
Also Europe is finally get exposed to Estonian rap, you're welcome!
estonias entry is my favourite !!
Knowing how important (majonez) mayonnaise is to our Polish culture, I'm glad you called us the mayonnaise jar 🥰btw team Kielecki... in the endless dispute among Poles whether Kielecki or Winiary is better 😅
I am team Winiary. It definitely beats German mayo.
Have to say as a Swiss, I was surprised to see what kind of song we send this year. I had a feeling we wouldn't go for another ballad since they were doing worse with each passing year. "The Code" has potential for a Top 10 placing.
I think this is the year with the least amount of ballads? Have to say I really like France, it's the best ballad for me in this year's contest. Latvia's song isn't bad either, Idk why people are so harsh on it just because it's slow? Dude has a good voice imo. Germany might be a little generic but I also like the singer's voice. Likely won't leave the bottom tho.
My personal winner is The Netherlands since "Europapa" is just *the* bop to me but I really wouldn't mind Croatia winning since their song is just so entertaining. Also really vibing with Finland, Austria and Armenia.
Is it a hot take to say that Italy is alright but not a winner? Seems like everyone loves it while I'm just *shrug*.
Israel will probably won't make it to the final and reason besides politics would be that their song is just okay. Not horrible but neither really that great? They have sent better songs in the past.
It depends how russians vote: Serbia or Israel? If they support both, Israel will qualify with ease.
OMG I love tour snarky and roasting remarks...I knew you were somewhere from Eastern Erope lol, no one from Western Europe would dare to spark like this publicly
Italian here
there is Fantasanremo, which is an unofficial betting we did for fun like fantasoccer. Singers picked up on the game and so they do weird things for fantasanremo points.This year, there was a rule that wearing black would grant you 10 points every night and 20 the last night, but luckly a lot of singers ditched the damn betting the last night and chose to wear some damn color.
There's also the Eurovision version, called Fantaesc, if you are interested.
THAT STAR WARS-REFERENCE AT DENMARK BROKE ME!
Such a slay as every year! Keep up the great work, girl!
missed the opportunity to call “babaroga” a clustercluck 😔
Honestly, I think it's literally all up to staging for Kaleen (We Will Rave) right now. Because we know she can dance, she's apparently a 5 time dance world champion. She can sing, as she was the stand-in for Eleni's Fuego. Fashion is up in the air as I know her mv outfit, opinion has been split down the middle. And for staging, she worked on Chanel's Slomo staging so I feel like it's literally on staging and outfit. Atp, I'm very interested to see Europapa vs We Will Rave as they're both 90's but go two different ways (quirky fun vs girly pop)
Either we’re too French, or not enough French. I think... We should take the Spanish-Portuguese route and not give a flipping f**k about what other countries think of us and send whatever we want to send, because being called mid (and finish midboard or among the last) every time is worse than being called downright terrible. Nothing iconic about this.
I love that Bingo card tho, gonna copypaste it on a paper sheet and keep it next to me during the finals 😂
Better yet host a national final France. What are you afraid of? Smarten up. I want more national finals. Maybe fire the old French woman that chooses your songs.
@@mec0013 What happened last time we got a national final ? WE chose our song Fulenn, and Europe spat on it because "it didn't feel French enough/at all". In retrospective, I'm glad Chanel competed for Spain that year because Terra would've been served dust as well.
Well, at least we still got JESC as a small consolation I guess 🤷♂️, so we're gonna keep our old French woman for a bit more, but thanks for the concern.
@@percevalmahpouyas9933 Okay the point is to develop a program for young artists to compete every year and develop a culture of competition like Norway's melodi festival, Spain's Benidorm, Italy's Sanremo. So you compete for your own country first and Eurovision second
I like the song a lot, and if Slimane competed last year, it would do better than La Zarra. I think this year, the winner will be a party song.
Send people dressed in snail costumes.
I always look forward to this video every year and you did not disappoint.
Interestingly, I’m also a Doctor Who fan and the new season will premiere on the same night as the Eurovision grand final. You know what that means- we’ve got a new barbemheimer! All aboard the Whovision train!
WHERES THE REAL KOLKO . THIS IS THE THIRD VIDEO THAT YOU HAVEN'T SAID "hello my fellow Nerwds " .
You're right! I need to thoroughly remind my audience that they are, in fact, nerds for watching my video! Thanks, mate!
As a fellow Lithuanian, it's really nice and unusual to hear 'Lithuania will definitely place in the top 10.' Thank you for your commentary!!
P.S. 'Kaboom' was a guilty pleasure for the minority
You should be proud of your countryyy! yall have my fav enry and my vote this year
@@someone.- Awwwe that’s so sweet!! Of course we are proud of Silvester he’s like one of the biggest topics in Lt rnn!! Tyy for your support 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Also I think Germany should strategize better next year. Place your finals after others so you can scoop up songs from other countries. Get yourself an Analisa or Mahmood from Sanremo. You hate singing in your own language anyways so why limit yourselves to English?
Their last song at least partially in German was in 2007 and fully in German in 1998(!). What a shame.
if by music variety you mean "90's songs" you are right. Like, Almost all the top 10 songs are eurodance songs back to haunt us from the 90's/early 00's (Netherlands, Austria(cascada is that you???), Croatia Greece etc...)
I'm a sucker for the 90s/Y2K vibes and really like Austria this year :)
You mentioned other countries' own finals but you didn't mention the strongest contender in Portugal?! The jury highly favoured Iolanda but João Borsh would have SLAYED!
WHAT!? Growing up is getting old was way better than tears are getting super. How DAAARREEEE!?!?
Finland's entry this year looks like a complete joke, but if you look closely it's very hard to pull this off correctly. Such a masterpiece in terms of staging
It took me until Armenia to realize that you were going the alphabet backwards and not just a random order. I am so smart, s-m-r-t
Ah Bambie 💙 Ireland 🇮🇪 is a bit unique though.. love your feed 💜❤️
They're getting my vote for sure 👍
I liked Væb too. That song was so good and fun. They're not twins though. One is a year older than the other
Im loving the roast even if I dont agree with everything you said. The thing you said about Sweden sending a guy farting and still getting top 15 Ive been saying that about Ukraine. They could send someone farting or burping for 3 minutes and it would still qualify and be top 10😂 I agree though that their song this year is good
Ukraine always gets through because there's a big Ukrainian diaspora in other countries. Sweden always magically attracts the jury somehow.
@@KolkoCat Yeah the juries and televotes too love the Swedes every year. It really doesnt matter what they send. Unforgettable would be a definite qualifier if they were in the semis
I think Ukraine takes this contest seriously and mostly sends good songs. The use of folk elements and Ukrainian language in the recent years really proves to be a good tactic. And on the rare occasion when they are not serious, we get an icon like Verka Serduchka. But I might be biased because I'm from Poland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Semi's have no juries
0:48 "No Eurovision song is perfect"
My brain: VOILÀ VOILÀ VOILÀ
Wait you actually scored a bingo (second vertical row)
Meow cat please meow back😺❤
Screenshotted the bingo.
😂 Euro Neuro Rambo Amadeus, we want Montenegro BACK!
That song was absolute ass
France will gain a lot of jury votes but okay whatever is ur opinion anyway
Krick had an amasing song. But the song Luxembourg choose is so meeehhhh
I m so disapointed too
I m so curious where Bambie Thig will end. At least it s something interesting
I like Australia, I hope it qualafies
It s gooing to be a exciting night!
Krick is a nurse and we have some controversial opinions. She‘s a nurse and helps people so we don‘t want to send someone who just stands there with a lame background and an okay voice with only „screaming“. Nothing against her, I already met her a few times, she’s very kind but I don’t like the „screaming“Tali is a great singer and brings so much joy to us Luxembourgers. We loved her performance and hope for a decent result, but I think it sounded a bit harsh when you talked about us but I respect your opinion.
Greatings from Luxembourg ans continue with these videos.🫶🏼🇱🇺✌🏻
I like Tali too, she's very charming! Krick's ballad is imho good (even though I'm not into ballads) but not enough of a show.
Lol this is indeed very spicy
I love Smash into Pieces
Please Turkey come back 🇹🇷
Not a roast 👎 you are saying Eurovision is good basically, which is not.
You seem to agree with me that only Croatia, Lithuania & Ukraine are amazing in the first semifinal. Now can someone please tell me how that first semifinal is “stuffed”?
About Latvia - "The juries are going to love this"
I'm gonna disagree, because imo it won't even get to the point where juries could love it...
Drowning in the rain was so ROBBED :(
Ukraine song is VERY reminiscent, in structure and melody of Jamala's 1944, to the point it's almost upsetting, I'm surprised no one picked it up.
HELL YEA
France song is the most love ballad a love ballad can ever get. "Mon amour, je t'aime, I don't know why, If you asked me i'll take the moon and bring it to you" are some of the most stereotypical love songs sentences I've ever read in my entire life. What year are we in, 1920???
Awesome
17:17 I spent this entire video terrified that you would bring Ryk up and roast the hell out of Isaak, especially now knowing you're German.... but you didn't. You didn't really diss the song. (You said last place but every German says that tbh, and Germans can't vote for this in the final so I mean ya) as someone who WOULD FREAKING TAKE A BULLET FOR ISAAK GUDERIAN, I thank you 😊
I never liked The Netherlands at all and the songs that I did like, were highly hated by everyone else. Really? Hardcore at Eurovision? Bruh, even New Kids Turbo's composed track by DJ Paul Elstak was far better than this shit. This is absolute garbage, but ofcourse everyone likes it and everyone in The Netherlands is forcing you to like it (or else they want you to move out).
Croatia's song Rim Tim Tagi Dim has been my obsession since it came out in January and I hoped it would do well, so I smiled brightly when it won Dora this year. This is the first time I like Croatia, who are always a damn miss for me and the same can be applied to San Marino. And Estonia's pick is actually a great track, I love the vibes from it.
Uhhhummm Armenia will SO QUALIFY! Have you seen their live performance at the ESC Madrid Party? So many people are saying it was the most entertaining & thoroughly enjoyable act of the night. Plus, Armenia has a very high chance of winning the Televote (or close to it) & also the International Televote. :)
Talking about politics when Israel are in Eurovision is inevitable especially when they use the contest to pinkwash their genocide, and Israel is the one politicising the contest by sending a political song, not us so blame them. That being said your coverage was fine enough. ☺
_"Israel is the one politicising the contest by sending a political song"_
Ugh... no. It has been happening since ever and many countries have done it. Ukraine even won with with 1944, Portugal sent a song that was shamelessly all about politics in 2011, Greece sent a song that was all about Turkey's invasion of Cyprus in 1976 and the list goes on and on.
_"pinkwash their genocide"_
What is that even supposed to mean?😂
@@JustYetAnotherUser I'm just saying the fans telling people they shouldn't cover Israel aren't the ones politicising the contest.
@@JustYetAnotherUser
It means they came to play the victims with 30k deaths on their hands. Ukraine is not the same thing, not even remotely.
I understand they cannot exclude them, but that doesn't mean we have no right to boycott them.
The fact that other countries did it in the past doesn't mean we want that to happen now. Genocide has happened in the past and we still don't like it. 🙄🙄🙄
@@reddinareddika3624 That can't be what it means unless people don't know what pinkwashing is. What does pinkwashing (which is the act of marketing LGBT for purposes of distraction) has to do with Israel's eurovision entry this year? I mean, I could understand if we're talking about their 2022's since it looked like something straight out of a gay club, but this year's entry has zero to do with LGBT.
_"they came to play the victims"_
No, people have been just sleeping under a rock. Palestine has been accusing Israel of these crimes for almost 80 years. People just decided to play heros of principles because it has now become a hot trend on social media. In fact, if we give it some honest thought Israel is the one who's politicizing it the less. Personal political opinions aside, they could have thrown a tantrum over UN's voting etc and not feeling welcomed and all that blah blah blah and simply walk off. But no, they decided to put politics aside and keep up with the program.
_"The fact that other countries did it in the past doesn't mean we want that to happen now. "_
I'm sorry, but if you're talking about the whole political aspect of songs, then this is BS and hypocrisy. Most people will say that because it's Israel. Had it been Palestine in Eurovision taking a song with some political reference to their suffering everyone would clap. And nobody is being more political here than the fans trying to boycott Israel to the point some even got "on bad terms" with the Luxemburg girl for dedicating her victory to her brother who's in the IDF fighting in Gaza. Imagine if she had openly supported Israel, at this rate she would have been lynched. This is how political people are going: the girl can't dedicate her victory to her loved ones.
Tbh if people are against Israel's participation so be it, but one needs to be consistent. People can't say Eurovision isn't about politics one day only to contradict themselves whenever they feel like it.
@@JustYetAnotherUser " I'm sorry, but if you're talking about the whole political aspect of songs, then this is BS and hypocrisy. Most people will say that because it's Israel. Had it been Palestine in Eurovision taking a song with some political reference to their suffering everyone would clap."
No, I was talking about nations playing victims. And yes, even if Hamas has done HORRIBLE THINGS and this is undeniable, the situation came to this point because of Israel's behaviour towards the plaestinian inhabitants of the Gaza strip and the "west bank", so yeah, I am very sad for the 300 people that had to suffert through this and died, but I don't think one of their lives is worth 100 palestinian lives, cause that's the ratio of people Israel has killed. It's just insanity and I don't want to hear an Israeli singer excusing this behaviour with the whole "I'm suffering" spiel. That is not true. They live in skyscapers, They are rich, They have full rights as Israeli citizens, They never starve. Their participation is just propaganda and I was always consistent with this opinion, from 2015 when I started watching ESC. So yeah, don't call me inconsistent or a hypocrit, because you don't know me. And before someone calls me antis*emitist (censoring just to make sure), Believe me when I say, I never discriminate anybody, not for sexual preferences, not for gender identity, not for religion or belief or skin colour. I just don't like this behaviour from Israel.
Nemo is a they/them }:(
Thanks for being natural about Israel. Sad that some fuckers in this world can’t even let people sing anymore without involving politics.
Honestly living on earth has sucked ever since everything ever has become political.
Like we can't even enjoy our perfectly innocent worldwide singing competition anymore without politics ruining it smh.
@@pinkdiamond1847 true, music is meant to connect people not divide, this is about sharing different music and culture with each other.
i have no words. a genocide isn’t always political my dude.
I'm not going to actively hate on Eden nor her song but im also not going to sit here acting like active genocide that has killed over 30'000 people doesn't matter because 'it's an apolitical competition' give me a fucking break.
@@ew6919apolitical is when kicking Russia for the inv@sion of Ukraine, but not kicking Isntreal for committing gen0c1d3 against brown people
Diet darling
very cool
It was bullshit
Call stupid the people dont agree with you is so stupid!
