Estonia is about the best I've seen at Eurovision for at least a decade. Absolutely blown away! Probably the best singer technically to ever grace Eurovision. 12 points from Denmark!
that final note!!! F7 !! incredibly high, even beyond the usual reach of a soprano voice. I'm delighted to find this in a Eurovision final! (also of course the entry for my own country: Waylon and same as I still am in love with the song that won in 2017, did you react on that last year too?)
@@florianpichon6050 It is whistle register indeed! I'm practicing that song for a contest and I can assure you that is hella difficult, but it's the best Eurovision song I've ever heard. Wish me luck!
Yes, Estonia didn't make it to the finals last year, because we decided to send an outdated cheesy duet about two lovers being lost in an Italian city (I don't know where this sudden obsession with Italy came from). Or I think it was about that, I never really concentrated on the lyrics, the memories of soap operas drowned everything else out. At least the internet got "richer" by a few memes. It was called "Verona", sung by Koit Toome & Laura, if you're interested. But I'm glad you enjoyed this year's song. It would be among my 5 favourites at the moment, if I could vote for it.
ankhefenra Ohhhh. Yes! I remember the memes of the guy awkwardly staring at the woman! Wow. What a difference one year makes...from not qualifying for the final to being a favorite to win the whole thing!
We've had some strange ups and downs in the last years. In '15 Estonia got 7th place, in '16 dead last in the semi, '17 was Verona, '18 La Forza is a favourite again. And now Moldova seems to be doing the same thing, nearly won last year and now they send a soap opera song from the '90s. At least it's catchy.
I enjoyed Verona last year Estonia I think you were robbed . Don't get me wrong ,you should win this year and I will be voting Estonia on the night but last year Verona would have been in the final in my opinion but the staging and the beginning was just a bit of a disaster.
I didn't particularly like any of the options last year, but when it got to the superfinal I was 100% sure Spirit Animal was going to win. And then Verona won and I remembered how many people in my family like to watch soap operas.
It wasn't the first time for me to hear her sing. There is another show on television in Estonia where she competed. She came second I think. Not sure. But same. I was still like whaaat!? Every time she went higher and I was so happy that she was chosen. She is amazing and the heights her voice can go... 💛
I'm from Estonia myself and it was so amazing to watch you reacting to Elina and supporting her so much! Much love and your reaction is just speechless and your face impressions were all so perfect haha! God bless you!
I loved your reaction at the end of performance😄. I thought that we will win as well. Precisely my thoughts that it’s so different! And it’s a real song and a real music!
For the first time I voted for ESC. Elina made me do it. :) I think it was deeply unfair her coming in 8th. (I'm glad the Portuguese jury awarded her 12 points, but our fellow televoters were less generous: 7 points.)
We Estonians are extremely vain when it comes to cutting edge technology. I'm surprised it wasn't advertised from every rooftop in Tallinn: our rep on the Eurovision Song Contest wears a dress made of smart textile! The word on the street, however, has it that the dress act will be dropped for the finals, since it has been done more or less in the same way for five times already.
no one cares about the dress... it may help with the performance... somewhat... what's special in Estonia's entry is her performance, which is very good.
I picture her, still with a really long dress, but with smoke clouds at her feet and weather effects, like rain effects or something, and lightning flashes, but not in a dark stormy way, in a beautiful way, since "La Forza" is "The Force" and I always associate the word force with thunderstorms, but that's just me. x3 No matter what, I think this song really has a huge chance of winning
Hello Jake.. I'm Estonian.I liked Your reaction when You heard ower song..Do another reactions about Estonian music when you have time..Thank You for wishing us best and I hope we win again.Keep up your work and all the best to You..Urmet from Estonia.🤗
I love all our face at the end cause we didn't often listen opera. If we did, we won't be like that 😅😅 yeah. First time I hear her song and amazing strong voice I was like that too. STUNNING!!!
your face on near-end of her performance is the exact thing I've done and then I screamed "S************T!!!! NAKAKAPANGILABOT!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! GALIIIIIIIING!!! *claps hard*"
I think I finally worked out what the deal is with that dress, or skirt, to be precise. Light is neither projected from above or under it, the material itself, smart textile if you will, emits light.
not a fan of opera, never been, don't think i'll ever be...but this woman was just, wow. as you said, she was hitting glass shattering notes with an expression that showed no effort at all, i mean... god damn! i'm still dissapointed at the final results, but i guess a video on those is coming haha...one of the worst contests since i can remember tbh, no songs that stood out at all, and "a joke of a song" won the thing...oh, and ukraine managed the incredible feat of getting last place in the juri vote...like, whaaat? loool, oh well...) hope for much better stuff next year since i'm a metal fan, i was a bit biased, even though I knew hungary wouldn't win 'cuz it's "too metal"... even Lordi was a lot softer than that, but hey, diversity, am i right? (Portugal here 😉)
Hi! Greetings from Estonia! Nice reaction video! I shall recommend to you watch the official video,which is also live performance , but from final of Eesti Laul.This more like this performance will looks like in the Lisbon. Best wishes!
Before I read the translation I thought La Forza was about the power of the elements, about Earth's cry to appreciate her beauty and generosity to nurture us, but also reminding us to fear her might.
You're almost right, Jake. Elina's high notes here have only been topped in Eurovision once. Croatia's entry by Maja Blagdam goes all the way up to Bflat 6, 5 semitones above Elina's F6. That said, Maja's high note was reached through a somewhat chaotic high trill between two mid-range sections of the final chorus. It came across quite differently to the poised, deliberate end to La Forza.
My favorite song from ESC2018, together with Bulgaria's entry ❤️ Do you react only to Eurovision from 2000 onwards or can we also recommend songs from the previous decades? 😊
Jake, i think ur about the cutest experiential person ever :) Indeed this is Eurovision. An (zeer)(word for upmost in dutch. The Netherlands)) upper scale of american idol. And this is Europe :) with friends XXX ps i think ur very cute :) PS THIS LADY HAS 2 BE THE WINNER..........
Yup, Johnny Manuel and Trey Campbell, I don't know much about the second one, but the first one was on America's Got Talent ua-cam.com/video/72WMprLONBQ/v-deo.html
Hi.. Im from Estonia and if Im totally honest then Im not even sure who we sent last year to Eurovision...and that isnt a good sign.. This year we will remember Elina.. I hope.. :P And this year has to be our winning year.. The first and the last time we won was also on May 12th.. :D
Here is one instance when one can say - Nature has been exceptionally generous with a woman called Elina. She will go far. She must. Eurovision is fine as far as it goes although I prefer the versions of the 50s and 60s when European singers sang in their own language. Then the contest became commercialised and like anything commercialised it lost its charm and its fascination. In this scenario a song like La Forza as sang by Elina will draw accolades from some but will most likely never win(although miracles can happen).I am not holding my breath.
This was an incredibly strong entry this year, I find. Hey Jake, try this one for a reaction if you want a "Whoaaaaa" moment. So Hyang - Arirang Alone It's so epic (and beautiful!). ua-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/v-deo.html
Estonia is about the best I've seen at Eurovision for at least a decade. Absolutely blown away! Probably the best singer technically to ever grace Eurovision. 12 points from Denmark!
Yeah but a song where a woman made chicken noises won...
You don't have to be an opera fan to love this song, her flawless voice just draws you in and takes you with her.
Her voice is the most impressive thing, I love it. My brain goes insane, if I listen to it carefully.
You want your mind extremely blown? Go look up Cristina Deutekom's version of Queen of the Night.
Thank you Jake! Much love from Estonia! 😉😂
Terhi Eliise Siitam No need to thank me. Thank you, Estonia, for sharing this talent with the world!
I'm such a huge fan of Estonia!!! I even visited it last year. Beautiful country.
I love your country is my favourite country
It's amzing how we (Estonia) only get more and more fans! And I was thinking that most people don't even know this country.
Not all of us are from the US. HAHAHA! :p
This woman is really otherworldly.
Its the first time that a song create so strong imotions to me. Materpiece. Winner.
She's gorgeous and her voice!? OMG #FromBrazil
Ele deveria ter ganhado, ou ter ficado em segundo
This song brought me to tears every time I heard it back in the day and it still does
Great reaction man! Thank you. Estonia is my favorite!
that final note!!! F7 !! incredibly high, even beyond the usual reach of a soprano voice. I'm delighted to find this in a Eurovision final! (also of course the entry for my own country: Waylon and same as I still am in love with the song that won in 2017, did you react on that last year too?)
Irene Enghardt F6 my friend
Only an F6 but however the highest head voice note I have ever heard. At this level, singers usually shift to whistle register. She is stunning!
@@florianpichon6050 It is whistle register indeed! I'm practicing that song for a contest and I can assure you that is hella difficult, but it's the best Eurovision song I've ever heard. Wish me luck!
@@RAVEN_Idol how did it go? :)
Best female voice this year👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
Hands down
Love this reaction, and love elina she is amazing! From Uruguay

Verona was an awesome song that should have qualified.
i reacted in this same way when i heared this performance....so powerful and beautiful.....i love it....
It wasn't the first time for me to hear her sing. There is another show on television in Estonia where she competed. She came second I think. Not sure. But same. I was still like whaaat!? Every time she went higher and I was so happy that she was chosen. She is amazing and the heights her voice can go... 💛
Thank you, Jake! That was great reaction! Greetings from Estonia :)
Viva Estonia!!! Greetings from Poland. What a beautiful and touching performance and voice!!! :))
Good job dude... honest reactions...
I love this song. I hope it will do well in the final. Love from Denmark
thanks!from estonia.
Thanks for the reaction! Your facial expressions were priceless :D Please do Israel and Slovenia, heck, do 'em all! :D
I'm from Estonia myself and it was so amazing to watch you reacting to Elina and supporting her so much! Much love and your reaction is just speechless and your face impressions were all so perfect haha! God bless you!
What a voice😍😍Opera is always a guarantee...💖👍
OMG JAKE! I can not stop laughing..your face..every honor of your reaction... :).. Bravo Estonia! And thank you for the very nice reaction for Serbia!
It was my favourite but chicken wons😤😤😤 I'm Portuguese and very proud of Estonia this should have won in my country
Jake you are the best... Love your reaction.
I loved your reaction at the end of performance😄. I thought that we will win as well. Precisely my thoughts that it’s so different! And it’s a real song and a real music!

I think it was deeply unfair her coming in 8th.
(I'm glad the Portuguese jury awarded her 12 points, but our fellow televoters were less generous: 7 points.)
5:12 When you think it is limit of her voice abilities and she goes higher 😁
And I know for a fact she can go even higher than the last note=)
We Estonians are extremely vain when it comes to cutting edge technology. I'm surprised it wasn't advertised from every rooftop in Tallinn: our rep on the Eurovision Song Contest wears a dress made of smart textile!

no one cares about the dress... it may help with the performance... somewhat... what's special in Estonia's entry is her performance, which is very good.
vain*
really? i wouldn't be surprised. I know i keep thinking of Moldova 2013 when i see the performance, though the song is still phenomenal.
I picture her, still with a really long dress, but with smoke clouds at her feet and weather effects, like rain effects or something, and lightning flashes, but not in a dark stormy way, in a beautiful way, since "La Forza" is "The Force" and I always associate the word force with thunderstorms, but that's just me. x3
No matter what, I think this song really has a huge chance of winning
Hahahahahha duuude your reaction:D she's definitely winner for most people
Your face is everything😊
Hello Jake.. I'm Estonian.I liked Your reaction when You heard ower song..Do another reactions about Estonian music when you have time..Thank You for wishing us best and I hope we win again.Keep up your work and all the best to You..Urmet from Estonia.🤗
yes you´re rignt... estonia deserve to win this year....and I´m sure that Salvador Sobral (opera´s fan too) would be happy to give her the trophy!
I love all our face at the end cause we didn't often listen opera. If we did, we won't be like that 😅😅 yeah. First time I hear her song and amazing strong voice I was like that too. STUNNING!!!
So inlove with your reactions !!!
Thx Jake!
I am estonian! Thumbs up! Elina võidab eurovisiooni!😃
Oleks olnud võrratu. Ta oleks selle nii välja teeninud. 🇪🇪
This song is one of my fav. Its amazing one.
I wanted her to win. I really love her performance. I mean, her voice... Omg😮!
your face on near-end of her performance is the exact thing I've done and then I screamed "S************T!!!! NAKAKAPANGILABOT!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! GALIIIIIIIING!!! *claps hard*"
I'm Estonian and I had the same reaction when I saw this performance in "Eesti laul". Perfect
I love your Intro so much:)
Thank u thank u!
I think I finally worked out what the deal is with that dress, or skirt, to be precise. Light is neither projected from above or under it, the material itself, smart textile if you will, emits light.
It turns out I was wrong - the shapes are projected from outside after all.
Estonia and Elina Super ,,La Forza"
not a fan of opera, never been, don't think i'll ever be...but this woman was just, wow. as you said, she was hitting glass shattering notes with an expression that showed no effort at all, i mean... god damn!
i'm still dissapointed at the final results, but i guess a video on those is coming haha...one of the worst contests since i can remember tbh, no songs that stood out at all, and "a joke of a song" won the thing...oh, and ukraine managed the incredible feat of getting last place in the juri vote...like, whaaat? loool, oh well...) hope for much better stuff next year
since i'm a metal fan, i was a bit biased, even though I knew hungary wouldn't win 'cuz it's "too metal"... even Lordi was a lot softer than that, but hey, diversity, am i right?
(Portugal here 😉)
pxK
Then Portugal get the bottom of the jury vote the next year. But this time in Semi-Final 1
I've always watched the semifinals through Sweden or another country's livefeed. It works perfectly. Never had a problem!
You should watch final perfomance!
5:20 That face :D :D :D
O, my god! That face was so so perfect!!! I'm so proud...
Estonia is here! 🇪🇪❤️
Hi! Greetings from Estonia! Nice reaction video! I shall recommend to you watch the official video,which is also live performance , but from final of Eesti Laul.This more like this performance will looks like in the Lisbon. Best wishes!

Estonia .. she is amazing !!! ,.. loved your face reacts jjjj ,.. me suscrib

Before I read the translation I thought La Forza was about the power of the elements, about Earth's cry to appreciate her beauty and generosity to nurture us, but also reminding us to fear her might.

Your face at 5:13 when she hits a D6, 5:17 when she hits an E6, and then 5:20 when she hits an F6... :O
My favorite song from ESC2018, together with Bulgaria's entry ❤️
Do you react only to Eurovision from 2000 onwards or can we also recommend songs from the previous decades? 😊
5:49
Actually the literal translanslation means "The Force". Of course it waas powerful!
You looked shokked 😄
5:23 epic moment xD your face jaja
I agree with everything u said

Hungary has a metal song...Your face expressions are funny...I think Hungary will shock you...
I am from Estonia.

That's sad that Estonia did not win :(
5:19 it looks like he was singing it 😂😂
It turns out I was wrong - the shapes are projected from outside after all. By three separate devices.
Amo las caras del final jajajaja
Best song ever..e.s.c
6:07 that was funny :-)
React please to eurovision 2018 HUNGARY
React to Bulgarian song, there're two Americans in the group, so USA is also kinda represented this year :D
Kashone Really?! I should get to Bulgaria's video tonight.
Yup, Johnny Manuel and Trey Campbell, I don't know much about the second one, but the first one was on America's Got Talent ua-cam.com/video/72WMprLONBQ/v-deo.html
5:20 😂😂😂😂😂😂

And this year has to be our winning year.. The first and the last time we won was also on May 12th.. :D
Absolute travesty she came 8th. your reaction was about the same as mine.

They show semi finals and final live on youtube
I, M from estonia
This is a really loved the song but it came to 9th place
Belgium Estonia Israël m'y favoris
This was an incredibly strong entry this year, I find.
Hey Jake, try this one for a reaction if you want a "Whoaaaaa" moment.
So Hyang - Arirang Alone
It's so epic (and beautiful!).
