deserved winner!!

[@artemidak2514]

Nemo is a great artist! Congratulations!

[@kennikitty]

The like to dislike ratio of the winning performance on KZbin is totally normal, especially when a jury favorite wins. All the whiny people who wanted another act to win (this year mainly Croatia) go to KZbin and dislike the video of the winner just to prove a point or something. It's... strange.

Sore loser syndrome

[@EmoBearRights]

Yeah as someone who thought Cha Cha Cha should have won last year I get the resentment but you know what I wouldn't do? Go on Loreen's video performance or any vids about her just to downvote her - that's just effing childish and stupid.

[@markusstudeli2997]

@@EmoBearRights Couldn't have said it better, maybe just add, it's something a sore loser would do.

[@oscarfernald9402]

@EmoBearRights Well said. I was very team Käärijä last year, but something about Loreen’s final performance grabbed me like it hadn’t before. So that made her a worthy winner to me, even if I preferred Käärijä. The amount of hate she got was absurd and totally undeserved.

NEMO IS A LIKE A PARADISE BIRD … IT IS DIFFICULT … 🦚 … FOR MANY … BUT HIS VOICE IS EXCELLENT🫶🏼

[@williammaddox3339]

How anyone could dislike this is beyond me. I understand how someone could like someone else better but you can still like another song. Personally I think Nemo is a star born from this performance.

[@oliviacharlottemortimer6498]

If you look at the complexity of the song (it is a song contest after all) and that it manages to still work muscially. The difficulty of the singing part, the absolute vocal accuracy of the live performance as well as the artistic and acrobatic delivery … yes it absolutely should have and rightfully is first place. I love the the song from croatia and it rocks hard, as well as europapa. But in none of these is there that amount of vocal, musical and artistic excellency, they are absolute whopping party/rock songs, for sure but vocally and harmonically none of the other two are even half as challenging. That Nemo performed like this and sang that accurately is quite an achievement in anyones eyes who have ever dipped into singing. And yes I am Swiss, but besides Gyons Tears i have only ever been embarrassed about the quality of our song entries for the last 2 decades! Until Nemo came and I was gobsmacked, because it is outstanding: muscially , artistically and vocally!

[@noondarkly]

Well said. Gjon's Tears was my absolute favourite I was rooting for him so much. And Nemo took me by surprise, there was only one possible winner from the production and composition and performance perspective. They absolutely deserved the win and I am so happy that I saw this performance ❤🎉

[@konnyviola7123]

The song is great! I love it! Great artist!!! And: important message. Respect. First I was confused about the melody, harmony, rap, opera...but now I love it so much!!! Sorry for my englisch, best regards from Germany :)

[@monikaspycher9638]

I love your reaction, great opinion and neutral feedback… thank you for that! 🙏 Great talent and sensational artistic stage presence should always be viewed positively (regardless of gender or country of origin) ... this applies to ESC or music in general! This year there were great talents and fascinating effects on stage. Nemo rocked the stage as a single performer with perfect performances and incredible courage. The voices and the story behind them left us speechless. Accomplished talent, honest, vulnerable, courageous and above all an incredibly lovable character 👏🫶🏻👏

[@luminemo]

I think the dislikes are more of a protest from some against Eurovision in general and they're not specifically about the song. Many are angry about many things the EBU did or accepted and this reaction is a way of showing it.

[@jijitters]

Yes, many people are unhappy about them removing Joost and also mad at them for allowing Israel to participate. There are some people going to dislike and leave hate comments on every Eurovision video.

[@EmoBearRights]

But why not just go and downvote Israel's video instead? Or upvote the semi 2 performance of Europapa. Nemo is a part of neither of those problems - the Israeli delegation actually said really horrible things about them.

[@nickkhuroshvili834]

What do you mean Croatia would have won if politics not involved? What political support did Nemo had? Or what political disadvantage did BL had? You could say that about Ukraine or Israel but not here, sorry

[@DACHBenelux]

Uhm... Okay, take Ukraine and Israel out of the equation, who does the public vote for? You don't think the results would come out differently?

[@SuperZwezda]

I didn’t thought he was good until i actually listened to him. He is FANTASTIC!!! Definitely deserved Winner!

[@niuran7866]

In times like this everything gets politizied, i understand that. As a swiss i liked many songs and i wouldn't be mad if others won but i am happy for Nemo because he seems to be a very humbled and happy person. I think this whole thing was way too much for him, he focused hard on the event and song but now he tries to realized what just happend. The thing that stands out on Nemos perfomance was that het did acrobatics, while singing perfectly many different styles as a solo performancer. Congratulations to all other great performances, it was a faboulus event.

[@selmahare]

Nemo was by miles the worthy winner, the absolute best song and performance! No doubt! Hands down!! It just blew every other song and performance completely out of the water, and that is why this is the winning entry! It's more than just "deserved", any other song winning instead of this one would have been an abhorrent injustice. This was definitely this year's winner to anyone that has a good set of ears, a good pair of eyes and any sense of good taste. I was shocked by Croatia getting those many points, so many people are so dense and daft. The Croatian singer was charismatic but the song was weak. No shade, it's just a fact. That's why the public vote can be so scary, cause there's always the dense skulled and daft pulling out crap like the Croatian vote. People complain about the Jury, but the dense of mind are why the jury needs to exist to counter the astounding lack of sense of so many in the populace. Seriously it's shit like Croatia getting all those points this year that really makes me go: WTF is wrong with people?! The word is just scary. But luckily good taste prevailed this time and Switzerland got its more than just place as the winner.

[@jonaskeller6399]

At first view, I liked Croatia's song better. It's very energetic. That stays, but it does become less interesting with repeated viewings. Nemo's gets more interesting over time. Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a rather one-note song while The Code is extremely varied. Overall, it's clear to me that Nemo deserved to win. Great song, fantastic voice with wide range, physically demanding, deep and heartfelt, flawlessly executed. I think the people who claim Nemo won because of their identity got it wrong: Nemo "only" came in fifth in the audience vote because there are still too many people whose heads explode if they see a guy in a skirt.

[@oscarfernald9402]

@selmahare Wow, what a disservice to Nemo. If there ever was a song that deserved to win, it was The Code, I agree on that. But praising them by dragging others down, that is just pathetic. Luckily we have you as guardian of good taste, or the world would really be in trouble. Good luck in your stuck up self righteous ivory tower.

[@tahitivivi9428]

For me Nemo was the best performance ❤

[@palmiraip8056]

[@hanneelisabethhaugen7386]

I don't necessarily think it's about 'politics', people write songs about personal stuff that is important and personal to them. It's a way of expressing themselves and process and express joys and sorrows they are or have gone through in this life.

[@milica1005]

Thank you for mentioning Freddie Mercury! I've had exactly the same thoughts-40 years ago, Freddie put together rock and opera, performing it in a tight gym costume(worn backwards!). Today we know him as a legend. How come we fail to recognize Nemo and his extrodinary talent-just because of his gender or skirt? I am very surprised that so many people can't see beyond the skirt. I am personally big fan of Croatia's song, but can't deny the quality and amazing vocal/stage performance that Nemo had. He totally deserved to win!

[@pretzel2272]

Very well written! 😊❤

[@TheRobiLive]

Wait what does Switzerlands win has to so with politics?? Isreal was the political part of this ESC and they got 5th But this had nothing to do with politics and nemo did great and deserved this win.

[@DACHBenelux]

It's simple maths really, where would Israel's points go to if Israel wasn't there? The public clearly voted for Croatia more than Switzerland. So, politics does come into play because it divides the points.

[@Isa_barchetta]

No Pyros, needed ust Nemo. Authentic,dramatic and pure talent

[@k.v3585]

i love it, in my opinion it was the best performance. Croatia has very basic song, how many accords where there? I don'y think it was good. Very good singer was also from France and song was classy.

Can u tell me what significance has the amonite in this song, teacher ?

[@musicalmomentspaderborn880]

8:20 Please explain inception reference. Could not figure it out yet.

[@DACHBenelux]

In the movie inception, there's a concept where you need to have a totem, any object, that helps you tell what is a dream from what is reality. Leo's character had a spinning top which kept spinning in a dream, but fell when it stopped spinning. Nemo spinning on top of that spinning stage is a reference to inception. Speaking of, it's quite impressive what Nemo did, spinning on top of a stage while doing the bullet time (matrix reference) and still singing without missing a beat 😂😅 Deserved the win just for that!

[@musicalmomentspaderborn880]

​@@DACHBenelux So, as long as the stage, the totem, is spinning it is still only a dream. But as soon as IT falls down to one side, it isn't all a dream anymore but has become Nemo's Real-Life-Reality. Wonderful, metaphor. Thanks a lot for this new beautiful interpretation. What's it about those "ammonites"?

[@no.comment]

@@musicalmomentspaderborn880 There is a further, even more blatant reference to Inception: the pendant Nemo wears around his neck and tears off at the end of his performance is perfectly identical to the spinning top Leo DiCaprio uses in the film.

[@musicalmomentspaderborn880]

Any interpretation for those "Like ammonites" in the lyrics?

[@no.comment]

@@musicalmomentspaderborn880 Ammonites, today, exist only as fossils since they went extinct about 65 billion years ago. Since the text says "Like ammonites, I just gave it SOME TIME", I think it might make sense to assume that this is an ironic way of saying that the process took a long, LOOOONG TIME. 😉 Of course, I could be wrong...

[@DatBisa]

Since you're kinda basing the premise of the video on it, it's important to note that the ratio on videos uploaded after YT took public-facing dislikes away is basically bullshit anyways, since for those no actual data is available, so the Return Dislikes extension just kinda extrapolates what the ratio might be based exclusively on the behavior of its own users. I think it's easy to see from there how the user base for an extension for returning dislikes might be a bit biased towards making use of that feature. Not to mention the already controversial nature of this year's competition.

[@weetjijwel050]

'Europe, lets come together! Its now or never!'. Martin Osterdahl chose 'NEVER'! Congrats to the winner tho.

[@amira2736]

sorry, but how on earth did "politics" influence Croatias loss?

[@DACHBenelux]

If you influence someone's win, you influence someone's loss, rather than focusing on which is the best performance

[@chips7]

The best indicator how go a song really is, is time. Let some month or years fly by. Then we can value the songs again. I'm sure The Code will be in a better position then most other songs. Just because it's a well written song you can't exchange with the next one that easily.

[@noondarkly]

Exactly, this song is a musical gem, with layers and shifts and things to enjoy, AND on top of it, a wonderful message that conveys love and self-truth, which everyone should strive for. And Nemo is a SINGER in every sense of the word, too. Even their early songs are good. Time will be on their side, I am sure of it :)

[@rahelllacho]

🇨🇭🇨🇭🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉The big Winner

[@francoisbarth9462]

Switzerland and Croatia were the best performances and at the end there has to be a winner. The victory is deserved and there must be a “performance” reason why 22 countries gave 12 points to Switzerland. Even countries having no particular reason / relation- , nor are neighbours to Switzerland gave 12 points. Just rely on public votes is also not correct, otherwise Israel and Ukraine would be ranked 2nd and 3rd which is then indeed political…

[@bikbok1019]

Fantastic and absolutely outstanding song, artist and performance!

[@casanino]

I can't believe that terrible, boring "Hurricane" song made the final to be honest. Her voice and lyrics did nothing for me and the crowd in the arena seemed to agree. Cheers to Nemo the legend.

[@sayuri5167]

Sorry but sadly Eurovision always was about politics. That’s why they made the jury vote because people often vote for their favorite country not for the song. What I think what’s the problem about the juries is that they are also not objective. If it comes to politics Switzerland definitively isn‘t a country that‘s very popular nor polarising. Yes you can say that maybe Nemo had LGBTQIA+ Community behind them but there they definitively weren‘t the only artist. I also prefered Croatia just from listening because it reminded me a lot on Rammstein but to me Nemo is the absolute fair winner because of their vocal talent and the composition of the song plus their performance while singing absolutely flawless what‘s very difficult. And my opinion since years is that the artists should compete without letting people know which country they‘re from. But that‘s almost impossible with social media because they would leak it anyway.

[@perlareinhard386]

Please don’t generalize “people hating it”only people who can’t accept the facts and who are sour loser will of course dislike it .. but there’s millions more who loves it.. so pls don’t focus on likes and dislikes..

Maybe because this year the Eurovision was to 'woke'? I dont know. I dont care how people wanna show theirselves. In my opinion Eurovision is about the music. I think Nemo did a great performance. They are standing on a platform that is turning. I dont think its super easy to jump/down and still sing amazing.

[@Giannis23ful]

Nemo was great but Croatia deserved the win, honestly every year it's the same thing the fan favourite song has to manage to beat the jury's decision, i don't understand why can't they just remove the jury their role makes no sense

[@clarissat867]

I think the jury vote should be reformed, but not revoked .they had some time without the jury vote, and Eurovision became then less of a song contest and more of a performance contest, Wich lead to a lot of meh song and wtf performance

@@clarissat867 but the winner should be decided by people's votes in my opinion because at the end of the day it's about what people want to see also I'm not sure which years you are referring to but i think lordi in 2006 was in that no-jury era and it wouldn't have won if the jury was like today, and lordi had arguably the most iconic song ever in the competition

[@maiika480]

vjerovao ili ne i'm croatian, tell me why croatia deserves it when there is not a single aspect in which croatia is better? switzerlands lyrics actually have depth, the artist is better showmaker, had much harder job performing solo and on moving platform, his song is vocally much more challenging. as far as outfit goes, it's in character so even if i don't like it by default i have no issue there. the scale of the song is so much bigger compared to cats and meows, and its so well made cuz his gender agenda is not explicit in the lyrics, so it can represent anyone who doesn't fit "what's right and what's wrong" not just lgbt

[@clarissat867]

@@Giannis23ful i do think how good the song is should also play of who is winning, and the public vote doesn't always go for the song because it's good . I do think the jury should be reformed, like they do tend to prefer pop song and that should absolutly change , and i do think they should have like 40% of the total note ( like, i do 100% think it's finland that should've win last year, not sweden ). I agreed that lordi wouldn't have won with the jury vote, but from what i heard, they won because metal fan heard they would play in eurovision and mass voted for them, so it wasn't really either because of the usual eurovision public that they won . And yeah, it was 100% iconic . But being iconic does not mean you should necesseraly win . ( sorry for bad writing, english isn't my first language ) . And for this year, even tho switherland was my favorite song because of the song and the stage perfomance, i didn't like all the 12 point that was given from the jury to them- even tho their song was really good and deserved it - because i do think it gave an unfair adventage .

Cry harder. The Russian who sang for Israel was clearly outclassed in every way by Nemo's song, presentation, and performance. Israel mounted a huge online pr campaign to encourage supporters to bite 20x per device. It didn't work and now it's revealed the Israeli delegation acted atrociously backstage in an effort to throw their competition off their game. That failed too. Now that the show's over everyone can go back to making Israel an international pariah for their war crimes and criminals. The Chosen People who chose themselves have made their bed and now they can sleep in it....until next time.

Eurovision is not about music anymore - it is only about performance and politics.

[@clarissat867]

I agreed there is a lot of politique in eurovision. But they always were, and always will be . The foundation of Eurovision was to unite Europe through music, a very political reason. But good songs still are rewarded, like this one which is very good. Eurovision being political is one of the reasons I like it so much, and they went ever more political by trying to not be - aka not banning Israel because " they aren't political " yet Russia is still banned , and trying to ban flags which weren't of participing country ( palestinian flags and LGBTQ+ flags , AND European flags ), disqualified Netherland for no good reason, ect..

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Imagine how many more votes he would have gotten, if he would have worn pants and kept his gender identity to himself. Luckily those didn't effect the juries. For the juries Nemo's song was clearly the thing since they favored the song so much more than the rest, and compared even to their second favorite song. The other songs they couldn't position so consistently in their judging for some reason. Personally I didn't find one song clearly better than the rest and hearing people finding above the rest gold nuggets in everything there is in Nemo's song is just ridiculous to me. Like I don't mean to offend, but song having rap in it doesn't make the song the best ever. Nor does having some opera there too. And some could say that having a bunch of movie references in the act doesn't speak for imaginary artistry. It's not like movies copying other movies are usually viewed as masterpieces. And what comes to staging and performance, Nemo's isn't the one of the entries I'd pick to showcase what staging and performance can be at their finest. Considering choreography alone, what Nemo did on stage didn't require that much talent compared to some other entries' choreographies. What comes to the song itself, if there's loads of people who can't even remember how the song goes after having heard it several times, it's probably not the best of songs. And why should you have to apologize your opinion regarding a competition, in which the songs and performances are being judged. if Nemo went to the competition to win, he certainly wore the skirt and brought the gender identity into the frame thinking doing so would secure points and votes. Which then raises the question does those have something to do with a great song. The common people of course can vote for whatever reason, but considering how the juries judge songs and performances. It would lead to gender discrimination, if songs and performances would be favored by juries by performer's gender, wouldn't it.
