Fun fact: this song features 4 languages - the intro was in Czech, the chorus was in Ukrainian, the rap was in Bulgarian and the rest was in English. I find is beautiful how they managed to incorporate so many languages into one song!
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachyes, its because of the origins of all the band members and the broader appeal of English, they wanted to incorporate all of that into the song
The song's lyrics are about the historic and present "sisterhood" between Slavic nations. When they talk about "my sister's crown", they're referring to Ukraine having autonomy over themselves and this autonomy being under threat from another nation (i.e. Russia) trying to steal the crown away. The lyrics are in multiple Slavic languages including Ukrainian and the message is about being united as nations and as peoples against people trying to take others' autonomy away.
This is actually incorrect. This song is mainly about inequality between the sexes which is very prevelant in slavic countries. As well as domestic violence mind you. "Unfreedom" as they said in an interview plays a part as well.
I am obsessed with this song. The context, their delivery, their voice, their passion all of this POWER and coolness and I'm HERE FOR IT. I get so touched everytime I'm hearing it and I really love the message and the way they did all of this
As a HUGE Eurovision fan I can recommend you to watch, in my opinion, best voice in Eurovision EVER - Gjon Tears performance from 2021, he sang for Switzerland. Omfg, it’s absolutely amazing, the song, the voice, whole performance - full package! And he was so young, such a talent ♥️
This song is so moving. I loved it since the first listen. I can understand only the English lyrics but I feel the message because music is so evocative.💟
Have waited for this reaction for quite some time! The message, while having feminist meaning, has also pro-Ukrainian/pan-slavic meaning. The sister being Ukraine, and other sisters (other Slavic nations) trying or not wanting to get her crown down - ie, while showing that we are all siblings, showing that we are all sovereign, with all of our sovereign borders, and all. The song was also spoken in four languages: Czech, English, Bulgarian (because the girl is Bulgarian, and Bulgaria didn't have the budget to enter Eurovision, so they get represented this way) and Ukrainian (because of the war).
This was my favorite Eurovision song this year, it is truly amazing. We were told in class to do a presentation about one of the songs from Eurovision 2023 finals and I was hoping I would get Czechia and I did. It was a random vote pick.
My 5 year old absolutely loves Vesna! We're Italian so she has no idea what they're saying but according to her "Rapunzel is real and she has sisters!" She asked to have her hair braided and got upset that it wasn't growing long like the Rapunzels!" I explained that she's only 5 and they're grown ups. But yeah awesome song and I'm glad they were in the top 10!
This song's main point is to counter Russian propaganda narrative that is trying to undermine Ukraine as a concept. The propaganda aspect is more clearly realized in the music video where russian sister is fed with red soup and where weird stuff like people with tv heads zombie walking. Lyrics are really quite impressive as there is hardly even one word within the lyrics that would not have strong meaning. Crown stands for independence. The sister she's talking about is Ukraine and the main chorus in Ukrainian to strengthen the position. In Slavic languages where all words have associated femineity or masculinity - nations are feminine thus sisterhood makes a lot sense. It includes more Slavic languages (Bulgarian and Czech) to signal Slavic unity gainst the Moscow's oppression. It's also juxtaposition against concept of "brotherhood" that Russia tries to use to erase ethnic differences between the two countries in Vesna's song instead "she is her own queen" stresses the fact of independence.
Overall there were some performances that were more professional and polished but the one that blew my mind this year was Serbia. I loved how they played with the lighting and how they worked with the props to make it feel like a virtual reality. The vocals were a bit weak (or maybe that was just a mic issue because many people had that) but you should still check it out if you are interested. As for my favourite moment... I don't want to spoil anything haha
The meaning of the song is more about how the slavic countries need to stick together (hence there being so many languages) but u could interpret it like its about women empowerment too
I love your reaction and explanation of music pro but I have to add something. This song is really about support for Ukraine. I recommened videos explaining this stuff and also original video for this song with subtitles. Subtitles are always there because this song is in four languages - Czech, English, Bulgarian and Ukrainian. In Czechia we can understand Czech and (mostly) English but definitely not the other ones.
Jann - "Gladiator" was not qualified for eurovision in Polish national, he deserves some attention. Probably one of the biggest dramas here during eurovision 2023.
Yeah, the worst vocals in the entire NF season, along with some first rounders in San Marino. She's not gonna react to it, she doesn't wanna bother her viewers with outright bad performances either, I guess. Why do people like you deliberately suggest awful performances? Is it so that she's shocked while hearing it? As a sort of prank? Grow up and get a grip.
You rold the same 'you do(nt have to understand the lyrics' with your reaction on Lara Fabian 'Je suis malade'. Time to check an other Lara Fabian song, like "Broken vow", even covered by Barbara Steisand!
It a song about the Ukraine and Russia war mostly yet it can be interpreted as a anthem for women. It’s such a banger, and everyone was scared it would be disqualified as it’s political
This was wayyy too overated. Music video is good but live was messy with terible vocals and cringy stahing. Just mehh i thought it would no go to final

Isnt there a Polish part?
@@robertcepo1505 Nope, only the 4 they mentioned
what?! that is incredible! I did not get that at all. thank you ;)
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachyes, its because of the origins of all the band members and the broader appeal of English, they wanted to incorporate all of that into the song
@@robertcepo1505 Nope. The closest to Polish is Czech part

I had no idea! Thank you! 💕
@@aekelly I'm a bit of a huge Eurovision fan hahaha. You're very welcome!
@@kevanmcdougallmph me too! 💕
This is one of the best songs in the whole competition

So am I, totally obsessed it gives me the goosebumps every time I hear it and the video was so disturbing
Bonus points for Vesna - they have even more awesome music! :D
This year was really good for Eurovision. Almost all of the countries gave us some really good music.
Masterpiece!🤩Wonderful girls,voices and performance,well done Czechia🥰👏
This is where all 20 of my votes went - no regrets, just 100% chills... that was really well done by Vesna :)
Outstanding performance but you really have to see Estonia 's entry because it had the best vocals of this year in my opinion
Definitely check out the acoustic version of this when you get a chance!

I haven't seen that one! I need to take a look
@@ZoeStibiVocalCoachIts fairly old now, but yeah definately watch this one as he has an amazing voice. Love your channel by the way!

you should absolutely react to Croatia (it'll be worth it), Portugal, Slovenia, Austria and Armenia's songs from this year
I second this, she's already reacted to Portugal and Armenia since then, so ill keep my fingers crossed for Austria and Slovenia.
My 5 year old absolutely loves Vesna! We're Italian so she has no idea what they're saying but according to her "Rapunzel is real and she has sisters!"

Analys Albania -”Albina kelmendi duje” please🥰🥰🥰🥰👏🏻
It's been a long time since you've done an Adam Lambert reaction...i'd love to see him again on your channel!!

You should react to Estonia's performance, a masterpiece!
So I keep being told Elias. I think I'll have to take a look ❤️
We want more eurivision videos, please!

did you use the microphone of the camera?

Definitely need to react to Armenia's performance: Future Lover by Brunette! 💕
Easy on me-Adele ft Putri Ariani cover

I'm waiting for Mama SC
lol
Me too
Zoe, you kinda missed the point. This song isn't about; female empowerment. It;s about Balkan countries uniting and resisting the take down of Ukraine
I think, it can apply to both.
It applies to both. The hand movement at the bridge just proves it's about both.
Albania 🇦🇱 next🎉🎉
It a song about the Ukraine and Russia war mostly yet it can be interpreted as a anthem for women. It’s such a banger, and everyone was scared it would be disqualified as it’s political
This was wayyy too overated. Music video is good but live was messy with terible vocals and cringy stahing. Just mehh i thought it would no go to final
I don’t agree, it is true that the video was formidable but the staging in the end was pretty good .
You should really react to Austria and Slovenia 🫶🏻 Im really hoping you get to see those 👋🏻
