Joost klein from the Netherlands lost both of his parents within a year when he was around 12 years old. His dad taught him that the world has no borders, so his song has a double message

[@lolsaXx]

He also when he was a kid, he told his parents he would be on the eurovision stage one day.

[@mzbelgium]

Your reaction to the Netherlands song is so perfect - I'm sure that going from "oh no it's a joke entry" to "oh wow what an amazing message" is exactly the journey Joost meant to take us all on... it's wonderful to see it translating also across the pond!

[@sandrappfernandes]

Thank you from Portugal! We're very proud of Iolanda. That's a sample of portuguese soul. Right into the heart!

[@ruthcn6890]

Gracias a vosotros Portugal por mandarnos una canción tan maravillosa. Iolanda y sus equipo lo hacen genial 😍 Desde el principio Grito me encantó ❤ y está en mi Top 5. Apoyaré a Portugal al igual que a Mimicat el año pasado. Mucha suerte y mucho cariño desde España 🇪🇸

[@kickvandeloo8266]

So for Portugal the song ( Grito, which translates to scream ) is about Iolanda ( Singer ) who had mental health issues. And the dancers are meant to be her inner demons. And at the end of the song there is a big note, which resembles a scream to remove the inner demons. I hope I am correct

[@brento2750]

So glad you like Norway....they've been my #1 since they won MGP!

[@juricool3000]

Me too❤️😮

[@indreduobaite13]

[@KurwaNickMiZajeli]

The Norwegian entry says a Norwegian folklore story that eas made hundreds years ago - About a poor girl that had an evil stepmother, who forced her to k!ll her brother, and then drink his bl00d (I might be wrong, feel free to correct me!)

[@josemanuelrocha2813]

Hi! Thanks my dear for the beautiful words about Iolanda and her wonderful "Grito". Greetings from Porto, Portugal.

[@djmscott1977]

Yay! You love Portugal!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@ruthcn6890]

Creo que Portugal está bastante infravalorada. A mi me encanta ❤ y apoyaré a Iolanda 😊 Saludos desde España 🇪🇸

[@lanadiamandis4752]

Can I just say how proud I am of you? Look how far you've come, from not understanding anything about Eurovision 3 years ago to listening to all the songs, predict how they're gonna do in the contest and give input that makes sense. Good for you! 🎉❤

[@alexisl5490]

Unfortunately, live Orchestra isn't allowed at Eurovision anymore.

[@joebloggs396]

Ended late 90s.

[@FavourInternational]

Ahh man! That’s unfortunate! Does anyone know why?

[@PatrykEurovision]

@@FavourInternational It's extremely hard to make sure all the instruments sound good live (combined with the vocals etc.), there is not enough time to rehearse, it would take up too much space in the arena (which ultimately means less space for the audience). And that's just a few of the reasons :)

[@ege-sucu1]

@@FavourInternationalwhen eurovision was small like containing 15-18 songs, live orchestra was a thing and it worked wonders. The problem is that nowadays, shows take about 2-4 hours, instrument preparations (in-between acts) are hard and if one thing in live instruments eff up, the country would blame that for their results. While I agree on non-live instruments(I’m against pre-back chorus still), I think it helps acts to care less about any failure on the music and focus on performance/singing.

[@LigurianMapper2022]

​@@PatrykEurovisionin sanremo there's the live orchestra and there are 30 songs

21:47 According to Wikipedia (a free encyclopedia) at the age of twelve, Joost Klein lost his father to cancer. A year later, in 2011, his mother died of a cardiac arrest. R.I.P Joost parents.

[@Barista.Nathan]

I love how you went on that Journey with the Netherlands' song that so many people did, especially those who aren't familiar with the genre. Going in seeing it as a joke entry and coming out realizing it's actually a very heartwarming and touching song that's also very fun and infectious in just the perfect mix.

[@MarianaOri]

I cannot believe Favour liked Portugal. I was preparing myself for the worst xD

[@icyflame716]

Same, grito is extremely underrated and ballads are usually a hit or miss for people.

[@kari-annerrstad99]

Oh, i really enjoyed this video! So fun to watch. Actually, i agree with you on everything. Of these i really love Portugal and i am so proud of my own country this year 🇧🇻

[@pollen1797]

I really love that you are so straight forward with your opinions AND with your comments about the songs...I love your eurovision songs reaction!

[@traseeide8375]

Norway song is from a 1000 year old norse text. Dark fairytale. Viking age 🤘

[@alexanderibsen6299]

Really?😮

About San Marino, the break is not salsa is Spanish flamenco and yes, they're gonna have break dance. Expecting a lot from San Marino

[@skog239]

Just to provide some info on the azerbaijan issue: Artsakh/Karabakh has had an Armenian majority for thousands of years, it was a safe place for Armenians during the genocide by the ottomans. The soviets displaced thousands of Armenians and replace them with Azerbaijani's during the reign of the USSR, following the collapse, Artsakh wanted to be an indepedent state but Russia and Azerbaijan declined, and a war broke out. Armenia was successful in defending the area and Artsakh was a de-facto independent state, but Azerbaijan still claimed to control it. In 2020 Azerbaijan began an invasion, which in 2023 led to near genocidal conditions for Armenians in the area, 100,000 Armenians have either fled or have been killed by the Azeri army, which is a puppet army for Azerbaijan's dictator. Its also important to remember Azerbaijan is a dictatorship with some of the worlds lowest human rights scores, if Armenians didnt leave the area they would almost certainly be killed or forced to hide their identities. Just to end both sides have committed atrocities that cannot be defended, but the land was always occupied by Armenians until the 1950's. The people who were in Artsakh were mostly families and they were forced to flee by a genocidal dictator who has claimed multiple times that he wants to replace the armenians in the area with azeris.

[@republicofwestazerbaijan5817]

Hey Hayeren,Successful defending, you mean = Killing innocent Azerbaijanis and occupying lands of Azerbaijan in 1993?

[@skog239]

@@republicofwestazerbaijan5817 Im Irish, Not Armenian. And I quite literally said atrocities were committed by both sides.

[@h123-rx5tb]

@@skog239 Of course in a war, civilians are killed on both sides, bout DON'T compare Armenians to Azerbaijanis. Azerbaijan is a dictatorship and Armenians genocide is a fact.

[@confiuxities9633]

i kept refreshing ur page for the video i was just so excited ❤️❤️❤️

[@error13_genderexpunged]

Thanks for the appreciation on San Marino! Definitely underrated this year

[@joebloggs396]

San Marino is a very small place so they are always likely to get lower views. They have a good performer so hopefully they can afford decent staging.

[@livinglegendlanadelrey]

NETHERLANDS FTW!🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@livinglegendlanadelrey]

Also Norway amazing❤😍

[@olfesc]

was waiting for this the whole week!!

Thank you for your reaction Love from the Netherlands ❤❤❤

[@LinnieCat]

My ranking of the songs in this video: 6. Moldova 5. Norway 4. San Marino 3. Portugal 2. Poland 1. Netherlands But it’s really hard when you only got the official video and have no clue how they perform live 😅

[@MCMikewii]

I laughed sooo much at 20:03 😂😂😂 the „chrr“-sounds are typical for dutch-language! You are doing it so well…i couldnt stop laughing 🤣

[@Avocantakis2000]

We love your videos,there's something so amazing of seeing an American reacting to esc❤🤩!!!

[@FavourInternational]

SOME MORE GREAT SONGS!! 😅🤩🤯 Idk how we will decide a winner!! From what I hear, most people are betting on Norway to win the finale?? 👀 What are you top 3 songs?! 😁 LIKE THE VIDEO & SUBSCRIBE 💕

[@caitlan]

Ireland, Czechia, Switzerland + Norway

[@femkev6502]

Croatia, greece, france

[@joebloggs396]

Norway is definitely at least top 5 for me. But others include Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Azerbaijan.

[@GospodinNelson]

1. Norway 2. Slovenia 3. Spain

[@esthermonme4856]

Switzerland is 1st in the odds, not norway.

[@oceanmythjormundgandr3891]

I am definitely going to give points to Europapa over some other songs, because I give points to songs I enjoy and would listen to again and again. Some songs are good on paper- but I never go back to listen to them because they are either boring or there are other songs that "fill the need". I give points to songs that makes me feel strongly of an emotion. Europapa gives me such a happy feeling that I will at least try and vote it into the finals. But in the finals I will vote on more serious songs.

[@imstuckinwashingmachine]

Norway is probably my favorite song along with Slovenia and Ireland they are so unique

[@user-mp7xn8mj4h]

Obrigada over your comments over Iolanda,Grito from Portugal. Beautiful voice,song and the dancers are also great! I hope they qualify ❤🇵🇹

[@fo2531]

Thank you for educating people about the Israel vs Palestine issue. And thank you for being one of the very few reactors who is brave enough to state the fact on the internet

[@wannabemusicstan6960]

Favour we love ur eurovision videos !! its my highlight of the week tbh

[@anamatias6215]

Portugal 🤍

[@Musti_]

The moldovan song cant be judged by the live performance you saw imo. The budged is very low and the background people are really not giving 😭 its my third place in terms of studio versions tho! She got 10th (i think) in esc 2007 so shes one of the returning artists

[@mccaroni3]

The Ulveham live performance is feral in the best way possible, it took me a few watch-throughs to catch what the band members were doing with their instruments but you got it on first watch 😆🎸You reacted to some of my favorites here - Portugal, Norway, & the Netherlands are all in my top 10 😄

[@Samuelmakonia]

always happy when you put up a new videooo❤

[@filipe_goncalvesss]

portugal ATE for real

[@icyflame716]

It’s fully fair what you said about Israel and Azerbaijan. I do think you’re downplaying the Azerbaijani violence a bit too much tho. I’m fully in favor of banning Israel and Azerbaijan. No offense to the artists, if they are good people their nationality doesn’t matter. I love that you liked Portugal. It’s my favorite ballad this year and it’s criminally underrated. The song is about anxiety and mental health so it makes sense she is a bit stiff. Also, heads up. Czechia will also be rock and I think it’s the best song of the three. The top 3 in the odds to win are switzerland, Croatia and Italy. Favour, we love your Eurovision videos.

[@GoatAndDog]

I think the San Marino national final performance that's also on the Eurovision KZbin channel got the majority of the views compared to their music video.

[@dominiqueuding3972]

Netherlands is one of the favorites to win it this year🎉 im a dutchie but my 12pts goes to belgium this year

[@quilliana_1472]

Hey favour!

[@maja3401]

about orchestra in portugal's entry.... It can't be done because the maximum amount of people on the stage of esc is 6

[@allegra3500]

THE NETHERLANDS IS NOT A GIMMICK 😮😮…. Girlie ily but happy hardcore is a vibe and not a gimmick, it’s certainly better than some other entries 😭

Gimmicks are ok to vote for. It's ok to Stan the Euro-pa-pa. Great thing about the contest is trying to give you 12 points between the best sounding song and the one that conects the most

[@ribeiropk]

Europapa is actually a deep and sad music, his parents died and their dream was to see their son on the eurovision stage, so this music is a tribute to them, theres a lot of sad clues on the music ant the last part is the cherry on the top.

Sorry but you are mistake about Azerbaijan, they invated Nagorno-Karabakh last summer, that used to belong to Armernia, people was killed and have to relocated to espace the war. The problem with Gaza is that no one wants the Palestinians in their country. Egiypt blocked the passge and they can not escape the war

Ever heard about international law? If so, check the map again which country Karabakh belongs to!

[@elvinsherifzade]

​@@wangboya Yes these people don't even know that Karabakh is Azerbaijani land and they took it back.

Karabakh is officially belongs to Republic of Azerbaijan & recognized by the UN & every other UN country. Azerbaijan has liberated it's sovereign land from the agressors.

You can schedule now the streams for the live broadcasts next month Eurovision 2024 on KZbin on the Eurovision KZbin site. So that you receive a heads up in time when the Live broadcast starts. There are 3 broadcasts. 2 x semi-finals on Tuesday and Thursday. And the final is on Saturday. They all start at 9pm Europe time. The time difference with New York is 6 hours. It is afternoon in New York. It is the largest television event in the world. Simultaneously, about 200 maybe 300 million people are watching. It can also be seen live on television in Australia. And now also via KZbin. Have fun. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@aijamberisabel]

Gåte is pronounced like (gauh-te) and it means riddle in English. They were formed in 1999 but took a break after 5 years until around 2018 when they got back together until today. The song talks about a maiden who is forced to drink her brother’s blood by an evil stepmother to make herself whole again (a gross oversimplification). The song is heavily based on a 10th century Norse folk ballad with an unknown author and the original was actually the entire Norse ballad plagiarised so they had to change it directly before the final which may have led to their win. This song is their typical style mixing folk instruments (the instrument (nickelharpe) and the lead singers’ vocal techniques (kvilding, a traditional herding call in Norway) and lyrical messages with modern music and production techniques and music styles (gothic/ethno metal). This song defines why I love Eurovision and is so captivating and heavy while being epic and amazing. It is my winner of Eurovision this year for all these reasons. Hope this enhanced your understanding of the song if you’ve seen it, really enjoy these reactions btw as they allow me to compare mine and yours’ opinion which is why I watch all of these videos from you. I love you, see you next video. My top 5 is: 5: Italy 4: Belgium 3: Croatia 2: Slovenia 1: Norway

[@user-ml1by8bt5k]

My theory about San Marino is that most of the audience that listens to eurovision doesn't listen to their music. Also this year is pretty strong, maybe their attention went to more unique songs. Otherwise I don't get it. The song is fun, their performances are wild and their vocals pretty good Also, the point of eurovision that non-europeans might not be aware of, is that we NEED gimmicky songs as much as we need good quality songs in the contest. The literal idea of the contest is that quirkiness and fun these songs bring

[@hankamostowiak4745]

Gåte is the name of the band not the girl! And you read it as „gote” and i love ur energy btw! and my top 5 is 5. Serbia 4. Slovenia 3. Norway 2. Switzerland 1. Greece
