This is not inspired by Xena, this is Ukrainian, Eastern European Slavic folk culture. This is how the old Slav were. Finally, my culture shown in its all beauty. And we are all proud of this moment, and of Ruslana, because she is representing there what the Slavs are about... Strength, wildness, charisma, kindness and love. :)

[@cameronclare2132]

Wild Dances was on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto 4.

[@DMxalava]

And Interstellar, i think)

[@scorpionx1503]

it's not inspired by xena. that's all ukrainian folk culture. ukrainian trembitas (long horns) and ukrainian folk costumes. ☺

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Lol they are not from Europe. They lack the references…

[@yvkon]

OMG Ruslana!!! Love her and saw her perform live last year. Still as wild and energetic, it was amazing!

[@MarionTheCurious]

She's amazing!

[@jonathsnparrish4040]

One of the best Eurovision winners ever. Would love you to review Ukraine 2009

[@Jullebulle1991]

I remember that I loved this song so much! I still have the CD-single. I thought she was so cool and was (and still am) so amazed over how she could dance the way she did and hold a tone at the same time! =D

[@alipalmer6221]

Good job bro.Ruslana is amazing.

[@brumav9779]

Been waiting for this one

[@HereIsYourNighmare]

Go wild dances!

[@carolthomas6334]

My favourite from this year. I remember it well. I was glad it won. X

[@noakjetos3539]

Omg yes , thank you!!!

[@OurBrokenDreams]

I think he is talking about Whenerver Wherever where Shakira has a similar look and it was before this, 2001ish I think

[@irina1296]

Whenever Wherever was nothing like Wild Dances

[@emmamemma4162]

I really loved this song as a teenager, it's just so fun and wild. The warrior princess esthetics is a great look, I wish I could dress like that every day...

[@aduantas8609]

You need to bring Cathy back for another series after this, I've loved her reactions so far

[@ferhaterklc3728]

Please react to Hadise Düm tek tek or Sertab Erener Every way that i can.. Loves from Turkey ! 🇹🇷

[@ZiaHere.]

same!! i know this song years before i know the fact that this song is from Eurovision lol.. probably in 2011 when i started watching eurovision religiously... i know eurovision since 2007 (the reason why Molitva is my favorite song) but never really followed it until 2011..

[@MsLeipzigerin]

I should be studying, but your videos are so addictive, so I have been procrastinating for the past hour.... and a half. :D Thanks for the uploads. P.S. Your friends are great :) Btw, how about showing your friends Estonia's entry for 2009 (Urban Symphony - "Rändajad")

[@poertjt2]

Can we just agree that Shakira didn't invent oriental music, so stop comparing her with eurovision artists..

[@teo_heel]

Especially if Wild Dances was based on the Ukrainian folk with trembitas used in the beginning and the costume was also based on folk traditions.

[@Melvi.brunetta]

Wow ❤️❤️❤️

[@rositasultana3958]

You can see her în Ukraine maidan fight in the documentary Winter On Fire.

[@escboynl6677]

I hope they will react to Bandido Spain 1990 in the next series

[@stefanig4834]

you should do more videos of Turkey's Eurovision entries. They cannot compete anymore due to governmental restrictions but there is such a big fanbase there

[@sharkfinn4]

I'd love to see Cathy react to La Venda, Quédate Conmigo, and Baila el Chiki Chiki!

[@CarlosPerez-te5kf]

And Vuelve Conmigo of 1995

[@alexandrumic]

One of them is in there !!!

[@lenariuse]

my top :P

[@sutej72]

If you would listen to this song when it was competing in Ukraine you can hear that the base and the drums where not that high, they changed it for the ESC final to have a better chance of winning. Dont get me wrong, I love this song and I love Ruslana. I have this song on my playlist, its a real pick-me-up song. 😊

[@gyozofarkas759]

Please react eurovision flashmob 2010 :) That was quite good

[@safirak7988]

It was the same for me - everyone knew the song but I had no idea it was /from/ anything. I loved the song when I was a kid, now I find it a bit repetitive and get bored after like a minute.

[@Aerysun]

1991 ? Also known as the greatest robbery of ESC (seriously, they could have awarded the win to 2 different songs, a bit like in 1969). Although my favourite ESC song is Kan and 1991 is my favourite contest ever (that I know of). Finally, were you talking about Fangad am ev Stormvind or C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison ? Unless you have another favourite from back then, let's find out tomorrow !

[@alexandrumic]

??? Mistery?????

[@busrakabak18]

Where is "Everyway that i can" ?

[@p.zinkowskialien228]

Нє, ну на Шакіру, звісно, схожа, але схожа свиня на коня тільки вуха не такі, і хвіст не такий, бабуся казали🥳🌿🧚

[@jovanzecevic3072]

Max looks too serious and tense😅

[@alexandrumic]

He was time stressed :))))

[@icesam931]
