Oh yeah definitely. Some delegations need to understand that they actualy have an advantage by sending a song in their own language 🤷♂️ For example the serbian NF songs mostly had horrible lyrics, but people who don't speak serbian loved it anyways 😅
I kinda wonder if they did an English version so they will surprise us with a Georgian version come Eurovision time.. probably not, but if this was sung in Georgian it would sound better for sure ❤️
I think the song is meant as a literal „ echo“ like the echos that feelings give us … that was my impression. I like emotions and thought going through us . If you see it that way, it’s quite „ spiritual“ I like it a lot . Top 15 for me
the lyrics... whyyyyyyy, I love this song so much, one of my faves of the year but these countries should check with native English speakers if the lyrics are correct... it's the first thing I do when I write a song! it's so important as a songwriter... Armenia aswell... 'near cafés'... ok girl
Armenia at least has some meaningful lyrics,there is some story to be told but here the lyrics are meaningless and grammatically incorrect.Otherwise,I would love this song from Georgia but those lyrics ruin the whole vibe for me😢
Perhaps they intentionally put wrong English here. I mean putting wrong English in songs on purpose isn't unpopular thing, perhaps more present in hip-hop songs.
Yes, it also kinda reminds me of their 2021 entry (although it at least somewhat made sense), I appreciate that those artists are writing their songs themselves, but they should either check with native speakers, if their lyrics are correct or just hire one as your co-writer, who can tell you exactly how to put your thoughts into English words in the first place, instead of just correcting the lyrics afterwards. At least in an international competition, it's not as bad, if you're just releasing it in your home country. The Armenian song is at least telling us a story, but again, it's a song written by a non-native speaker without any advice from someone who's speaking English as their first language, I guess. But just out of curiosity (as someone who's not a native speaker) it should be nearby cafés or at your local cafés, right? Or how do I say this correctly?
The problem isn't the visual or the vocal or the melody, those are all great, it's the lyrics that really do not make sense, not even grammatically. Even if this sails through to the finals, juries are gonna flag that.
I didnt realise this song was sung in English so theres yr first worry plus if youre going to write a song in English it really needs to flow and make sense. I live hearing songs sung in the countries language and maybe this would of made this song powerful and more dramatic.
Yes, she probably could have written a song that actually made sense in Georgian, or another option would be to write an English language song together with a native speaker, so that it makes sense.
I don't get why they did not wrote this in Georgian since there is no actual meaning in the English lyrics? That's the only thing that throws me out of the magical atmosphere the song so beautifully sets. She will definitely deliver live and that's sure qualifier for me, but it does not winning the semi in any way. The only song of this year's contest that I can compare this with is Czechia, and Czechia is winning the battle. They can both be in my Top10 though :P
Maybe I'm overthinking it, I'm assuming she' hearing an echo, and tries to recite them back. That's why they're gibberish because they're misheard in the first place. Like the telephone game.😆
Not every language is created equal, maybe it's just not meant for singing. But she's definitely got a lack of knowledge of the English language (I don't pretend that my English was good either, but this is even worse, it's on another level of basic knowledge), maybe she should have worked together with some native speakers or Georgians with advanced English skills, so that grammar and lyrics are right.
Agree with this so much, I’m not concerned about the public, they will definitely push her. I’m just concerned about the jury they will def mark it down if she sings it like this
I don't understand what she's singing in the chorus, but ok I love it I don't know if the issue is her enunciation or if the sounds are overpowering the vocals It's Ukraine 2018 all over again, great song, meaningless lyrics you can't even understand and should've been kept in the native language so we couldn't pick that
Currently in my personal top 3. She also wrote the song from JESC 2022, which i also loved, so this was gonna hit for me! The chumbararata word sounds more Indian to me though. Which is something they use to refer to the sound of the drums. It could mean the same thing in this song too. But i'm not sure if its Georgian. They are gonna qualify for sure..
It's definitely giving Georgia at Junior Eurovision, which makes sense since the songwriter, Giga, has written basically every Georgia JESC entry. I think this is very similar to Georgia's JESC 2022 (Mariam Bigvava - "I Believe") act with the English lyrics not making a ton of sense, but it still being loved by the fandom, which also makes sense since Iru and Giga wrote the entry. This could definitely do well and stand out against some of the other not-as-vocally-challenging acts in the final, and I could see it coming top 3 with the juries.
I kinda love the nonsense lyrics! your reaction hahah! the songs pretty crazy but its doing its own thing and I do love it and hope it qualifies. (i loved cirus mircus!)
I just can't move past the nonsensical lyrics. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to lyrical content but they at least have to make sense so I can get behind what it is trying to say. And its a shame because sonically this should be a song that I love.
Maybe the text is repeated because the echo has this meaning. These sentences are echoes of Iru's thoughts. And we all know what an echo is, a sound that repeats and repeats. So now for me this is more clear. My sister gives me that definition of this song and I think it is the correct explanation.
I like the melody. That’s for sure. This sounds for me like Aminata + Mariam from JESC 2022 with a little touch of Aurora ? Pace is interesting but I wish it had been utilised a little bit better. Georgia already improved so much that I am lowkey proud. However , they could do better easily with lyrics. This one is giving me shadow theatre and smoke vibes with some artsy story. This deserves to qualify. I am really curious how much this one can be elevated by staging. Many possibilities. For me this is slightly below top10 (without staging)- 12-16vibes.
You mentioned Spain early on. I'm surprised so many think it could be in contention to win. I think it's a good song and could get top 10 with the Juries but I think it doesn't have the campness or catchiness of say In Corpore Sano to do well with televote. It has impact, but I think the public may not connect with it in way that will give it a chance to win.
Love your reaction videos! Agree with everything (so boring right ;) Love the song, the styling/visuals. The last "vocal-part" is taking the song to another level. The only draw-back is that it's a bit repetitive. Close to my top 10
Maybe it's just me being overthinking and related it to what Georgian people are doing right now against to their government. However, I feel that the lyrics of this song are an expression of the fact that we have left the dark ages of the past. And that, since we now have a freer, more democratic and better life. 'My love is not a fake' because I don't need to fake it. 'It's not a secret' Everyone knows that because I know that we have moved on to a better life (the value of freedom). So why do we go back AGAIN? And 'I've got a big faith' that we will not stop here. ------ There was also a reaction to the Czech song from a Brit who said she didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics at all, which really made me giggle. "No one wants more boys to die." Don't get it? Or are these yotubers just pretending not to understand?
Let's start with the things I like: the visual is stunning and there are some elements which sound traditional and folky. That being said: the lyrics are atrocious. And the song feels overproduced and her vocal sounds strange, almost muffled. Overall this feels like they're trying to be artistic just for the sake of being artistic. I am glad for Iru that you are feeling it Alesia, but I'm not.
the biggest issue I have with this song is that every time i try to imagine it in my head all i hear is the chorus from Unholy by Sam Smith & Kim Petras
Honestly, this is the first song this year I don't know how I feel about it. It's definitely not meh but not sure I love it either. Visually video is great. Musically it is different and not like the other radio friendly bore fests. Native language would've been great. Maybe it'll be a grower ...
Great atmosphere, graat rhythm, graat melody, great vocals, I love the fact that it is something unique and out of the box, something that differs from all the othrr countries and something that differs from the manufactured Swedish Pop songs other countries (including Azerbaijan up until recently) have sent throughout the past years. But it would have been great, if she had written it together with a native speaker (or at least let them check, if her grammar is correct, etc), those lyrics do absolutely make no sense and sometimes some words she's using don't even make any sense either. I'm not a native speaker either and I also don't pretend that my English is correct or even good, but if it's too late to correct her lyrics, then I'm afraid, it could flop like Tornike 2 years ago.
Once again Georgia is better in Eurovision... I wish i lived this more because its the right vibe but doesnt quite go to the place of "damn Georgia" that i wanted it too. Mariam Bigvava truly could have won Eurovision, but of course the plagiarism discourse wouldve been crazy
I'm afraid Alesia, that Slovenia will not be that well recieved by the public. I like Slovenia, but somehow I feel like they could be our shocking non-qualifier. Let's hope you are right🤞
I agree the lyrics are wrong gramatically and it upsets me a lil bit, but the song is good. it's ethnic. it's powerful. people saying the lyrics don't make sense & don't have a deeper meaning... gurl it's eurovision. most of the eurovision songs' lyrics are like that
If it was sung in Georgian it would have enhanced that ethnic and powerful sound immensely. Yes there are a lot of nonsense, platitudal, lyrics in Eurovision. But this is a level I haven't seen before.
The melody is great but those lyrics are so non-sensical that I can't enjoy the high quality production. I dont know how much time they have to change the version to georgian but I hope they can do something. This is the first year since I think 2015 that feels like Georgia actually cares about eurovision and I loved their early stuff but recently it just feels to me like they're trolling europe, this is a step in the right direction even tho the lyrics are (???)
It's giving AI generated lyrics. Maybe it was written in Georgian first and then translated to English IDK but it really peeves me. I like the melody but in general it's really underwhelming I was expexting more.
This would be top tier if it were in Georgian. Sadly, it's in English with improper grammar. Can they just rewrite it in Georgian, and we pretend it was never in broken English?
Idk why but this just really comes off as cheap to me. It isn’t even that bad but it feels kinda aimless. It’s the Google Translate type of ballad à la Nina’s Warrior from 2015 except less striking. Might grow on me, although I doubt it. Definitely not in any winner or left-scoreboard conversation for me.
With all songs out, I will just say I will have so much breaks in the semi’s. - 14 songs I don’t care about at all. (Places 37-24) - 6 songs I won’t skip, but I would be bored. (Places 23-18) - 6 songs has a staging potential but less exciting with only listening to. (17-11) - Top 10, summs up what I usually listen to, and to what I’ve been told as trash-pop consumer (I don’t hate that, because its kind of true! LOL) 10. Belgium 🇧🇪, shocking IKR! I trash talked the song when it came out but given how the year came to, this solidly a better song and performance than many songs we have. 9. Denmark 🇩🇰 , this is first time in 7 years Denmark in my top 10. 8. Ukraine 🇺🇦, it’s sad that people discredit this song because they fear another massive sympathy voting “which might happen”, but regardless this held my number 1 for months, till the new sons kept rolling out. 7. Israel 🇮🇱, I might be biased because I’m an Israeli-Arab, but I have high hopes for Noa, she will do us proud in May. 6. Greece 🇬🇷, another underrated song, I was hooked from the first listen. 5. Norway 🇳🇴, believe it or not the norsk MGP this year was dreadful songwise but this one had the potential to win it, and I’m glad it did. 4. Sweden 🇸🇪, although having Loreen as 4th but its what I’m rooting for to win, the song is a complete package and accept it she’s a contender going for that trophy. 3. Iceland 🇮🇸, one of the few songs from the national finals that I desperately needed to win because till that point no favourite of mine actually won and i was at my breaking point from being done with NFs for good. And she made it. 2. Switzerland 🇨🇭, I wont be exaggerating when I tell you that I had it on repeat when it came out, same as Greece’s another underrated song. 1. United Kingdom 🇬🇧, this is living for the hype of last year (Sam was my 22nd last year) so I had no high expectations but I was wrong, this is definitely one of the best songs the UK ever sent to eurovision [I’m not over Embers zero points tho].
@@Vhmvd Interestingly, this year is more radio friendly than ever, which comes at a cost. Everyone is trying to be alternative and stand out but they’re all blending in. Not just a Eurovision thing, it’s about young musicians in general.
I don't get the lyrics thing fans complain about. Yes, there are grammar mistakes and some things that generally don't feel natural in English, but the song overall isn't bad at all (for me). Most Europeans aren't native English speakers, so I don't think they will really care if the staging will be good. I will pretend bad English is done on purpose. This is likely qualifier in my books.
You're making excuses for people not knowing how to write in English. Could you imagine if the UK sent a nonsense song completely in Spanish or French or any other language? This song would be offensive to people if it was as poorly written in any other language other than English. The lyrics don't represent chaos. It's just bad writing. Ukraine won in 2016 and 2022 with songs in Ukranian. Italy won in 2021 with a song in Italian. Portugal in 2017 with a song in Portugese. The need to send songs in English isn't there anymore.
The lyrics make no sense - I am not sure that in and of itself makes it poetry. They’re just bad. It’s a performance piece though and it will do well if they can pull those visuals off. But as a song… it’s really not catchy, the chorus is hardly there (drowning in instrumentation) - I find it without a lot to grab on to. I just don’t hear it. Sorry.
I like it. Don’t love it. It gets very repetitive and begins to sound a bit gibberish. Really don’t think winner potential is there. But DEFINITE qualifier.
Girl... I love you and have been following you since 2017 and have been watching all of your videos since, but honestly I don't get your critiques lately. It seems like you have a preconceived notion of some songs/countries and overrate really mediocre songs. Those lyrics are unacceptable and there's nothing poetic about them. Calling Romania's vocal amazing... I mean... I appreciate you being positive tho. And it's ok to agree to disagree. But I don't know what happened. I used to hold your opinion and critique to such high regard. still love you tho and always enjoy watching you ❤
If I can't understand what she's saying then lyrics might as well be in native language. Sonicly, let's be honest: it's yelly. Televote will doubtfully come through. Probably not qualifying. Visually the video is slick though, expensive. Nice styling, but that's about it.
I was right that they won't give normal song to that bad singer, it was wrong choice to give her voice win, Like should ve won This is not even a song, just repeating of one phrase for 3 minutes and weird frog noises
Well if you talking about trash pop genre well atleast pop go somewhere even if the lyrics always repeated This time we can't really tell what she talking about tbh The good thing is The Theme and Sound is so good even without see the lyrics it's a sure q for me
No, the country has nothing to do here. The issue is that the lyrics don't make sense. Even I, a non-native english speaker, was put off halfway through the song because the lyrics felt weird to me. And my thoughts would be the same if this same song were sent by any other country
![🇱🇹 EUROVISION REACTION: Lithuania ESC 2022 [Monika Liu, "Sentimentai"]](/img/n.gif)
I like the song but I wish it was sung in Georgian because the lyrics are seriously pulling me out of the song.
Agreed.
Lyrics sound like they were written in Georgian.. definitely make no sense in English
Oh yeah definitely. Some delegations need to understand that they actualy have an advantage by sending a song in their own language 🤷♂️ For example the serbian NF songs mostly had horrible lyrics, but people who don't speak serbian loved it anyways 😅
Yes. If it was sung in georgian it would be much better
I really like the English lyrics it makes me connect to it
I kinda wonder if they did an English version so they will surprise us with a Georgian version come Eurovision time.. probably not, but if this was sung in Georgian it would sound better for sure ❤️
Agreed
I feel like a Georgian version would make the song more haunting and more top 5 potential
I love this! It's in my top 3, I can't believe this is happening, omg Georgia!
I think the song is meant as a literal „ echo“ like the echos that feelings give us … that was my impression. I like emotions and thought going through us . If you see it that way, it’s quite „ spiritual“ I like it a lot . Top 15 for me
That's certainly the kindest understanding of the lyrics. And to be fair it does contain the line "words getting worthless".
I love this entry. Best result for Georgia incoming!!🎉❤
the lyrics... whyyyyyyy, I love this song so much, one of my faves of the year but these countries should check with native English speakers if the lyrics are correct... it's the first thing I do when I write a song! it's so important as a songwriter... Armenia aswell... 'near cafés'... ok girl
Armenia at least has some meaningful lyrics,there is some story to be told but here the lyrics are meaningless and grammatically incorrect.Otherwise,I would love this song from Georgia but those lyrics ruin the whole vibe for me😢
@@anita_agr I mean it's not even comparable, but if you're gonna do a song in English you need to make sure everything works perfectly...
@@anita_agr Also when the lyrics are meaningless It makes me question the sentiment of the singer with the song.
Perhaps they intentionally put wrong English here. I mean putting wrong English in songs on purpose isn't unpopular thing, perhaps more present in hip-hop songs.

if it was in Georgian it would be in my top 10, hopefully they see the comments and change the language but i'm not holding out hope
I don't know why, but this song gives me 2010's eurovisiong feelings, I like it a lot!
Because the chorus is kinda random and some of the styling is too
the year of the rock groups digievolved into the year of divas lol. I think this will do well
Despite the lyrics I kinda want this to be Georgia's best ever result
Agree. Focus shouldnt be the lyrics, it should be her powerful voice, staging potential and overall Performance in Liverpool, it’s in my top 10^^
Maybe in some of part there will be Georgia lyrics ,like in Serbia done.

It’s like a dream, you wake up and can’t remember what it is about
because of her diction i basically can't understand a word, so they should just do it in georgian, i think it would serve the song a lot more

Idk why but this just really comes off as cheap to me. It isn’t even that bad but it feels kinda aimless. It’s the Google Translate type of ballad à la Nina’s Warrior from 2015 except less striking. Might grow on me, although I doubt it. Definitely not in any winner or left-scoreboard conversation for me.
With all songs out, I will just say I will have so much breaks in the semi’s.
- 14 songs I don’t care about at all. (Places 37-24)
- 6 songs I won’t skip, but I would be bored. (Places 23-18)
- 6 songs has a staging potential but less exciting with only listening to. (17-11)
- Top 10, summs up what I usually listen to, and to what I’ve been told as trash-pop consumer (I don’t hate that, because its kind of true! LOL)
10. Belgium 🇧🇪, shocking IKR! I trash talked the song when it came out but given how the year came to, this solidly a better song and performance than many songs we have.
9. Denmark 🇩🇰 , this is first time in 7 years Denmark in my top 10.
8. Ukraine 🇺🇦, it’s sad that people discredit this song because they fear another massive sympathy voting “which might happen”, but regardless this held my number 1 for months, till the new sons kept rolling out.
7. Israel 🇮🇱, I might be biased because I’m an Israeli-Arab, but I have high hopes for Noa, she will do us proud in May.
6. Greece 🇬🇷, another underrated song, I was hooked from the first listen.
5. Norway 🇳🇴, believe it or not the norsk MGP this year was dreadful songwise but this one had the potential to win it, and I’m glad it did.
4. Sweden 🇸🇪, although having Loreen as 4th but its what I’m rooting for to win, the song is a complete package and accept it she’s a contender going for that trophy.
3. Iceland 🇮🇸, one of the few songs from the national finals that I desperately needed to win because till that point no favourite of mine actually won and i was at my breaking point from being done with NFs for good. And she made it.
2. Switzerland 🇨🇭, I wont be exaggerating when I tell you that I had it on repeat when it came out, same as Greece’s another underrated song.
1. United Kingdom 🇬🇧, this is living for the hype of last year (Sam was my 22nd last year) so I had no high expectations but I was wrong, this is definitely one of the best songs the UK ever sent to eurovision [I’m not over Embers zero points tho].
Good to see Switzerland up there, but it’s funny that a large chunk of your top is what people consider the weak parts of the year
@@UsernameUsername0000 for them weak is every radio friendly song! But I’m staying true to myself.
@@Vhmvd Interestingly, this year is more radio friendly than ever, which comes at a cost. Everyone is trying to be alternative and stand out but they’re all blending in. Not just a Eurovision thing, it’s about young musicians in general.
I don't get the lyrics thing fans complain about. Yes, there are grammar mistakes and some things that generally don't feel natural in English, but the song overall isn't bad at all (for me). Most Europeans aren't native English speakers, so I don't think they will really care if the staging will be good. I will pretend bad English is done on purpose. This is likely qualifier in my books.
You're making excuses for people not knowing how to write in English. Could you imagine if the UK sent a nonsense song completely in Spanish or French or any other language? This song would be offensive to people if it was as poorly written in any other language other than English. The lyrics don't represent chaos. It's just bad writing. Ukraine won in 2016 and 2022 with songs in Ukranian. Italy won in 2021 with a song in Italian. Portugal in 2017 with a song in Portugese. The need to send songs in English isn't there anymore.
Aren’t you gonna react to Greece?
So you didn't watch the video all the way through...
with actual lyrics, this could easily be top 5. but rn this is just nonsense
My winner🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪💅💅
React to Armenia's entry 🇦🇲
Did you not watch the video?
The lyrics make no sense - I am not sure that in and of itself makes it poetry. They’re just bad.
It’s a performance piece though and it will do well if they can pull those visuals off.
But as a song… it’s really not catchy, the chorus is hardly there (drowning in instrumentation) - I find it without a lot to grab on to. I just don’t hear it. Sorry.
I like it. Don’t love it. It gets very repetitive and begins to sound a bit gibberish. Really don’t think winner potential is there. But DEFINITE qualifier.
Girl... I love you and have been following you since 2017 and have been watching all of your videos since, but honestly I don't get your critiques lately. It seems like you have a preconceived notion of some songs/countries and overrate really mediocre songs. Those lyrics are unacceptable and there's nothing poetic about them. Calling Romania's vocal amazing... I mean... I appreciate you being positive tho. And it's ok to agree to disagree. But I don't know what happened. I used to hold your opinion and critique to such high regard.
still love you tho and always enjoy watching you ❤
It feels overproduced, like five songs in one and I can’t even hear her voice 😅
the lyrics are a bit questionable and need to be digested further. they could have come up with something better lyrically.
yea
If I can't understand what she's saying then lyrics might as well be in native language. Sonicly, let's be honest: it's yelly. Televote will doubtfully come through. Probably not qualifying. Visually the video is slick though, expensive. Nice styling, but that's about it.
The composer did a terrific job
whilst the lyricist was left back home in Georgia. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT MUMBO JUMBO CRAP?!
OK the lyrics are a bunch of nothing.
It feels as if they spent all their budget on the video and the music and left like 3 cents for the writters.
I love how the caucasus made us wait this long for 3 songs that are BORING
Exactly what I think. I had high expectations for Armenia and Georgia, especially. But I'm disappointed honestly
I'm disappointed, it doesn't have much of a melody or structure and the lyrics are rubbish. I had unrealistically high hopes for Georgia this year 😆
The lyrics are so bad why why why arent they in georgian at least Armenia has some lyrics in armenian in it
Maybe at Eurovision contest she'll sing at English and Georgia language also. Let's see?
I thinks the song is super annoying, hate it
I was right that they won't give normal song to that bad singer, it was wrong choice to give her voice win, Like should ve won
This is not even a song, just repeating of one phrase for 3 minutes and weird frog noises
She singing about love ,why the people is so bad??just becose is Georgia??if was Sweden nobody looking for lyrics...
Well if you talking about trash pop genre well atleast pop go somewhere even if the lyrics always repeated
This time we can't really tell what she talking about tbh
The good thing is The Theme and Sound is so good even without see the lyrics
it's a sure q for me
@@eliteseurope you don't reading of all??
No, the country has nothing to do here. The issue is that the lyrics don't make sense. Even I, a non-native english speaker, was put off halfway through the song because the lyrics felt weird to me. And my thoughts would be the same if this same song were sent by any other country
I don’t like it sorry!
