Hello Rachel, how enthusiastic you are about the song. I had to get used to it at first, but later when I heard what it was actually about, I understood it and liked it. also how people sang along and acted enthusiastically. Indeed synthesizers are wonderful devices, I can get along with them. I have a keyboard here at home. I don't play that often anymore unfortunately, because I always enjoy it. But I am a migraine sufferer and therefore more easily overstimulated when there is loud noise. I always like to play really hard when I'm angry or frustrated, for example. I would like to thank you for your video, you explained it very clearly, I can't speak English very well yet, but you spoke so clearly and so calmly that I understood.

Coming back to this video this year (as a Finn) is a nice refresher of the small and insignificant controversy that was Sweden getting 340 jury points. Times certainly were simpler last year... 😳

Y/ou absolutely need to watch this with transaltion subs. Marlena, the girl in the sogn, is a victim of the abuse by the singer. It changes everything if you can understand the words.

This tutorial helped me impress so many people back in the day. Makes me wanna go back to piano

Dear a little sugestion for you, as I already know you are a classic musician, did you ever react to classical music on youtube? If not can you react to 2007 bbc proms gustavo dudamel and Simon Bolivar youth orchestra? they are from my country almost all the members come from poor situations and being rescued by EL SISTEMA, an organization who rescue childrens giving them an instrument make them learn music and give them the oportunity to be a part of an orchestra, already in my country there's more that 300 youth orchestras.

i love your approach at music and the deep analyses you give! defo subscribed now

Sei meravigliosa

Rachel almost got every qualifier right, with the exception of Cyprus and Poland (u need to switch them around)

Just wanted to see where u started lol

The woman is trying to run away. The male voice is trying to convinve her to stay. And the abuser (him) in the end succeds and Marlena (her) stops and starts to dance for him. She's back in the cycle of abuse. This can't be appreciated without subtitles.

Vulnerable but POWERFUL! God, I love this song!

EBU is dead to me after theirn descision. this song was the best! the woke eurovision people did everything to saboteur Joost Klein, he simply got disqualified because they wanted the LHBTQ+ non binary guy to win the contest. plain and simple.

THE FACT IT DIDNT QUALIFY :sob

Love u more!!👍👍👍👍❤️

PingPong may have been legendarily bad, but for me it's at least entertainingly bad. The North Macedonian entry that year was just as dated, out of tune and horrible, but miserable. I can at least have fun with PingPong. Also thank you for not putting 2011 for Portugal, that track gets too much hate. The chorus is actually really fun in a 60s Brazilian psych kind of way, but the stage show and the horrible verses mean people over-criticise. Also, Silvía Night is my absolute #1 favourite all time Eurovision entry. Not song, but entry. Everything about it is great, from the backing singers' unicorn horns, the absurdity of the props, her costume, and the fact that, unique among all Eurovision performers ever, her performance lasted an entire week. Everything about it is filtered through the lens of, "what would Silvía Night do if she got to do a song for Eurovision?" even though it torpedoed her chances of any success there, as a result it's hard to rate objectively as a 'normal' piece of music because the song itself is an extension of the act. By far the greatest troll entry of all time, even above Verka Serduchka and Rodolfo Chikilicuatre.

You just got to see/listen to Joost's newest release Luchtballon (Air balloon). They ask me why, but I am not dumb. Just let me fly in my air balloon. Sometimes I wonder why, is everyone stupid. Just let me fly in my air balloon.

💙🫶🏻💙

Joost Klein The Best !!!

Aggiungp che se ascolti ( elisa alleluia 2017 )arriva fino a una voce lirica.

Lei è fantastica molte canzoni di successo.

I don't want to put so much hype on this but maybe you miss that Angelina Mango released a new album some days ago... And why am I stress you ? MANGO MENGONI DUET 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯❤️

Too much talking, Darling. Too much!! Not my type of dessert.

8:05 Of course we are milder than you because you took us over in 1972. We went to hell and back, because of you, but we broke the code, o o ooo. 😀🥰🇨🇭👽

Music was my first Love. 🇨🇭👽❤️

La canzone parla del cuore e suo desiderio utopico di trovare i cari amori defunti ( persone ) , amore e ragione si scontrano. " Lo so che io non ti troverò, ma io ti sentirò e ti cercherò ovunque tu sarai"

❤ 🥲 🎶 thanks for sharing your personal reaction. I was moved 💗 and recognized myself in you

Are you coming on december 12th to the big Songfestival party here in Amsterdam? (Ziggodome)

I heard that this song will be already in the final in 2025 Eurovision! All because of the discusting EBU and their HUGE mistake to disqualify Joost, unfair! Thanks for your reaction, allthough it was the second time i watched yours

The moment you locked in about wanting dutch happy hardcore you instantly secured my sub.

love the reaction first time i see your video love it !!!!!

Guess, IKEA furniture can't handle happy hardcore... 🙈 What a joke

i felt the same way as you, because the 90s hardcore scene is stored in a special place in my heart❤❤❤

The guy in the car is DJ Paul Elstak. Did you see the live version of Europapa? And what did you think of it?

malta did not deserve last the thing is she had the vocals she had the visuals she had the catchy song she was a great show opener and the blindfolded flip and the dancebreak would've been a voting moment i dont know how this placed last or not qualify the song is proper catchy

I watched A LOT of reaction videos and yours is one of the most analytical, very well done, thank you ❤

Malta just needs to send better songs.

“It’s everything I ever wanted!” That reaction is so pure haha I love it

This video is still a joy to watch. Your reaction to the happy hardcore bit is priceless! Too bad Joost got disqualified... but maybe he's this year's real winner because of all the publicity. Much love from The Netherlands.

Sei dolce!

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?

Serbia was my #1 this year, was disappointed with their 17th place but after seeing how close they were to not even making it to the final I guess I should be grateful (and that's coming from an Australian who would have qualified if Serbia didn't). Thrilled with the overall winner, Nemo was absolutely spectacular in every single one of their performances so I 100% understand the high jury vote and honestly think they deserved a higher televote. Ireland's song wasn't my cup of tea but they had the best staging by far and the performance was top notch so I think they deserved more from both the jury and televote (at least Australia gave them 12). Germany, Luxembourg and Cyprus being as high as they were...hard boot. It's disappointing to see mediocrity rewarded especially when you see just how amazing the bottom 5 of the leaderboard were.

One of many stupid mistakes from EBU and organizers was to sacrify Ukraine 2. and was obvious they not wanted Ukraine winning in order to have seek replacement host for 2025. Björkman's choice was disaster and has to remove 2025!😠

This song is soooo Dutch, shame on Eurovision for disqualifying him.

Love it that you love the happy house and the song of Joost. But you look so young to be in the happy house in the nineties 🙂
