Intro Excerpt from Husavik by Atli Örvarsson

[@henrimartins3725]

Azerbaijan is one of my favourites this year. I believe with a good stage they can get to the final. Good luck from UK.

[@samiralakbarli9956]

Henri, thank you for your objectivity and real prediction. 💖🇦🇿🚀

[@AsherKhazar]

We love UK!

[@alman666]

The fanbase is sleeping on Azerbaijan, and I think this could surprise people if they bring a strong staging and vocal. I really love their song and hope they advance to the Grand Final.

[@beadelino2707]

Difficult not to fall asleep on it while having all the other songs unfortunately 😐

[@monalisa3852]

@@beadelino2707 it is a question of taste, I would totally fall asleep on something like Malta for example and wake up to this as it would grab my attention. Just like Portugal in 2017, he hypnotised me and I listened to everything he said even though I have no knowledge at all in Portuguese and end up voting for it. Something slower is not necessarily boring, it can stand out in the middle of all the pop songs.

[@orkhankharayef8632]

Azerbaijan will be a dark horse on the stage ❤

[@macnicollalexn7395]

Azerbaijan is really fascinating.

You are too ❤

Təşəkkür edirəm. Gəlin Azərbaycana.

I really like the song and the performers. I wish Azerbaijan a successful performance❤

[@rollertv5989]

The best song at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024! Pure goosebumps! Bravo Azerbaijan and thank you for the composition and excellent singing!! 👏👏👏❤️

[@user-rf6uh9tg5l]

The other guy in the background, as noted above, is Ilkin Dovlatov, our traditional mugham singer. And by the way, the music and lyrics of this song were written by Fahree himself ❤ Thanks for your reaction!

[@sketchartexploretheart488]

Amazing amazing amazing...no words ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love from India

[@user-ke5jo5fw5t]

Bravo Azerbaijan ❤ Great performance

[@YannMo]

I like the voice, the violin. The melodic effects, harmony, the rythm. Might go on Top 10/15. Yep, not bad. In my own TOP 10.

[@YannMo]

FYC: I write my opinion just after the end of the song, before you give yours on the video ✌

[@silviasabo962]

I love this song! It's catchy and beautiful! I love that there are so many traditional elements in songs this year! Also, I think Ilkin Dovlatov seems older because of his huge mustache.

[@aygunguliyeva335]

He is looking like Freddie Mercury 😂

[@samiralakbarli9956]

Thank you all, dear guys ! 💖🤝🇦🇿 --- Rebekah, thank you for almost correct pronunciation of 2 phrases in Azerbaijani turkic language : 1) evening greeting "Axşamınız xeyir" ; 2) the name of the song "Özünlə apar". This is worth noting separately, it is wonderful. You noted this very accurately, that the beginning of the song reminded you of Sting. Not everyone notices this. 💖🇦🇿 --- Maia, thank you for attentiveness, concentration and an honest attempt to understand the nuances of the Azerbaijani song being listened to, in which, with great jewelry, elements of the traditional Azerbaijani mugham “Bayatı Şiraz” [“Bayaty Shiraz”] are included in the crown, like diamonds and pearls, making this song a masterpiece. Not everyone can sing and understand the depths of this ancient vocal art, traditional for Azerbaijan, which takes years to learn. 💖🇦🇿 --- Tyler, thank you for the inability to listen and understand the song, but a ridiculous attempt to pretend to be a technical specialist. It's funny, like a parody. You cannot delve into and understand music that is non-standard for your hearing, especially as complex as the Azerbaijani traditional mugham. This is simply technically unattainable for you. Compared to you, all the other members of your team are winners, and you are losing because of your constant snobbery. You are not an expert in music, but you are learning at least the basics of music criticism.🤝🇦🇿 --- Carlena, thank you very much for a subtle sense and understanding of real music, in which there is something that attracts, bewitches, enchants, envelops you like a soft blanket on a cool night, wins your soul and heart, takes you high into the sky, into the world of cosmic music, which is Azerbaijani traditional mugham. You felt this masterpiece better than anyone else. You have charmed me. You are a very sensitive girl and a little sentimental, which is what I appreciate in sincere people. I will monitor your reaction. Thank you sincerely. 💖🇦🇿🚀

[@emilkeithantonio9310]

I love this song. Like Poland's entry, a calm atmosphere in the middle of all the bangers.

[@joebloggs396]

The Tower is too repetitive.

[@emilkeithantonio9310]

@@joebloggs396 What I'm trying to establish here is they both give me the same calm atmosphere in the ocean of bangers. That's it. I never mentioned anything like "both those songs are the same, and not repetitive".

[@joebloggs396]

@@emilkeithantonio9310 Because it's annoying rather than calming. The Portuguese song, nearer in the running order to Azerbaijan, is more calming than The Tower.

[@emilkeithantonio9310]

@@joebloggs396 It hasn't reached the point of annoyance to me, so good for you if the Portuguese calms you down and not the Polish entry. Croatian entry annoys me, Norwegian entry is surprisingly calming for me. We have differences in perceiving songs, and that's why my first comment started with "I...".

[@monalisa3852]

I like everything about this song, don't understand how the fans are not liking this more from what I'm seeing. I get a bit of Sting vibe. (just heard your comment, yes Desert Rose totally :) )

[@aynurboyraz1752]

I was thinking this for a while. Yes I felt the same vibe. 😊

[@matchumendoza]

This is an underrated gem this year.. I feel like this could be a dark horse this year! 🤍✨🙏🇦🇿

[@pervizaliyev6460]

Salam from Baku Azerbaijan! Thank you for your reaction!

Azerbaycan 🇦🇿❤

[@orkhankharayef8632]

Love from Azerbaijan ❤

[@EmilyaASMR]

It's one of my favorite songs and I think it's really underrated by fans. It reminds me of my trips to Istanbul and I love it. The main singer is 29 yo and the folk singer guy is 33 though. :D

[@samiralakbarli9956]

Thanks for your reaction ! As always, Azerbaijan one of the best of the Eurovision Song Contest ! 💖🇦🇿 Love from Azerbaijan - «The Land of Fire» (Azerbaijani: «Odlar Yurdu») ! 💖🇦🇿

[@user-xs8vr5yr4z]

12 points from Baku to you guys!

[@arjantakin]

Rebekah, wow I am am impressed by your pronunciation of both in the greeting and the name of the song. You said it like a native. Bravo, you are very talented.

[@user-we4by4ri7i]

AZERBAYCAN❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikestagramming2989]

This is a dark horse - i can see the traditional vocal moment stealing the show at the semis

[@baxarsixeliyeva7286]

Thank you. Love from Azerbaijan

[@katodyka3153]

This song could very well be my guilty pleasure this year. Ah, I love that new hair color that Carlena has now 💇‍♀️ 😍 ((Let's see, when I use "guilty pleasure" I don't say it in a derogatory tone or despising the quality of the song, I was rather referring to the fact that it is not among the favorites to win this year, in fact, it is possible that it is among the most underrated 🤷‍♀️)

[@joebloggs396]

What's guilty about it? Because the 'fandom' doesn't think it's cool?

[@katodyka3153]

Haha, I confess that after writing my comment I thought that perhaps describing it as “my guilty pleasure” was not the most accurate. In any case, we cannot deny that the song is not even remotely among the favorites; perhaps this circumstance can be taken into account to consider it in some way as my guilty pleasure. 😃

[@mikestagramming2989]

Its the most musically coherent entry we have this year and its considered a guilty pleasure????

[@katodyka3153]

@@mikestagramming2989 Well, I more or less explained in another comment what I wanted to say. Maybe it is an expression that I am not so used to using because it is not very common in Spanish and it was the first thing that came to mind 😄

[@leyla7128]

The one and only song of this year’s Eurovision that you can actually remember and replay in your head over and over again. I cannot say the same for the rest of the songs unfortunately. Hope Azerbaijan is the winner this year ❤

[@tofiqzade]

The singing style is called mugham, and it is not a middle-eastern technique, but something specific to Azerbaijan. There is even a sub-type of Mugam called jazz-mugham. There are, however, similar singing styles that existed in Persian empire, and among uygurs and central Asian countries, such as Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

[@shafamammadova]

5:45 This is called "mugham" traditional Azerbaijan song

[@validasuleymanlyyy]

It's just showcase performance.The official music video will released soon.Btw main singer is Fahree.The other guy Ilkin sings mugham style(traditional azerbaijani singing).Thanks for reaction

[@acmaszyorumcu7801]

They are so underrated. 🥹

[@kinyonga5425]

Haha Carolina. Fahree is 30y and İlkin is 33y. But "the older gentlemen" is very respectfully said and theoretically he's indeed older. 😉

[@andyt8216]

He does look older in this video somehow. I was then surprised when I saw him in other things. 😮

[@shahlahalilova4620]

The song and interpretation are perfect. They should be champions of this season🎉

At first they played tricks, then the rhythm and mugham music captured the listeners.

[@user-po6sv5uf4r]

Azerbaycan super

[@namiqsafarov9320]

Axshaminiz xeyir))). İt means Good evening

[@ronnopotter]

They are following Petra and Måns advice from "love love, peace, peace". They said to add a dj to give your entry a contemporary feel. (Although in real life is like 20 or 30 years dated)

[@nrminqurbanl1850]

The guest singer was singing Mugam/Muğam.

[@nailagazad462]

As always, Azerbaijan performs well in Eurovision, there were really beautiful songs. There were some years, yes, those songs were bad, but this happens in every country, even more than that.

[@nailagazad462]

However, Eurovision is full of politics. Otherwise, Azerbaijan will fall into the top 10 every year. This year, my native Azerbaijan was super. ❤️🇦🇿

[@HemideIbrahimli-bj4eu]

Azərbaycan❤❤❤

[@EM12TV]

Hər vaxtınız xeyir gözəl insanlar

[@vugarmiriyev1071]

And also "Good evening" for you. The back vocalist is Ilkin Dovlatov, which song Mugham. From Wiki: In the 19th century famous French writer Alexandre Dumas who attended the ceremony in Shamakhy, wrote in his works about his trip saying he was greatly impressed by mugham that sounded there.

[@EvanLsk]

They won the internal selection against Aisel (she represented Azerbaijan in 2018 if you remember). Aisel song’s for the internal selection got released some days ago if you wanna checkout : m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJm9kGh6oJaXbNk

[@TheAlish23]

Ilkin Dovlatov is singing Mugham, it is traditional music of Azerbaijan. In 2003, UNESCO proclaimed Azerbaijani Mugham a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". It was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists in 2008. Also Mugham is among the music of The Voyager Golden Records, which was sent to galaxy on the board of Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977 by NASA. Azerbaijani mugham, a unique musical and poetic phenomenon, was created on the basis of the historical and cultural traditions that have existed for centuries. It is one of the most valuable monuments of the material and spiritual culture of Azerbaijan and the greatest achievement of the musical and poetic art of the Azerbaijani people.

[@IsraelESC]

[@evangelosmesolongitis1695]

I feel bad to ask to react to my country Greece. But it is not a narcissistic thing, I just feel left out on the bench waiting...😢😢😢

[@svetlanasalimova5498]

Super🇦🇿

[@Leifdk1]

I like the featured artist more than the main artist. If it weren’t for him, the whole thing would read entirely generic pop - but he really adds something. I like it but I don’t love it. It’s a tough semi but with good staging and vocals I could see it sneaking through. It’s borderline at best though. Still, miles better than last year.
