Alex Silver I wish I could translate this. Can anyone out there translate or at least tell me what language this is in?

[@robertilijov8983]

@@JakesFaceReacts to sum up, he thinks you don't look american, he says he knows 300 people in serbia that looks like you

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Alex Silver I know half of my background is of French origin...who settled in Louisiana and are called Cajun. My mom was adopted, and we will never know that half of my ancestry.due to the adoption record being destroyed by the court. Let’s just agree that half of me has always been and will always be a Gypsy. So half French/Creole and half Gypsy? I’ll take it.

Ajde kada će reakcija na Hurricane

[@samenjaimy]

Hi Jake! I'm so happy that you're still reacting to all the songs! Watching your reaction videos always makes me smile and I think everyone can use that at the moment. :D Some info about the video: The man in the video is Wim Hof. He is famous for being able to control his breath so well, he can sit in icebaths for ages without getting anything like hypothermia.

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Sam Esman See? I knew someone would let me know what I wasn’t understanding. Thanks for clearing that up.💚✌️

[@BeeRodz]

UK: I do like that pause before “breath”.

[@susannaviles]

I just said the same thing! Haha.

[@Fiadys]

I like that pause before the song starts, they should replicate that for the 3 minutes after xD (and yes I'm from the UK)

[@samenjaimy]

I think this is the first year since I started watching Eurovision (2011) that the big 5 all had really good songs.

[@robertilijov8983]

My predictions for netherlands: "another solo male artist" and when the chorus hits: "ooooooo"

Robert Ilijov You’re giving away spoilers to the videos I haven’t even posted yet.😂

Better than Spain too in my opinion!!

[@Eurovisionary33]

Jake's Face Reacteth 😆 Knowing these reactions will continue is such a lifesaver, so thanks again!! Big 5 + host standard is so high this year IMO, it's even more heartbreaking that we'll never know how they would have fared...I like to think, if staged well, this would have had a chance at the left side. Competition would have been very tough though.

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Eurovision By Jaz I’m glad you picked up on that. No one else seems to get it...or maybe they skip ahead straight to the video. I couldn’t just leave it in English.💚✌️

[@vinylnerd1544]

almost all of the acts, including james newman, are being carried forward to next year. France is the only country so far to change their act.

[@susannaviles]

I love that pause before 'breath' every time. Clever little device there.

[@alexaurum913]

Interesting, to me that's the one thing I really don't like about the song. 😂

[@susannaviles]

@@alexaurum913 That's what I love about art though. Two people can listen to the exact same thing and have a different reaction to it. It keeps life endlessly interesting.

[@shedevil50337]

James Newman writes songs for other people who, in the past, have included Calvin Harris, Little Mix, Kaiser Chiefs, Kesha, Olly Murs, Backstreet Boys & Louis Tomlinson. He won the 2014 Brit Award for Best British single with Waiting all Night by Rudimental, a song he co-wrote with Johnny Harris. His co-writer on this entry previously worked on Azerbaijan's winning song in 2011's ESC, Running Scared. I'm glad that we're finally getting singer-songwriters, not just singers, to represent us because I think you can always feel more emotion when you write the words, & that helps the listeners connect to the song more. Newman's also got a great voice. I feel we'd have done ok with this song, maybe scraping onto the left-hand side of the board. It grew on me a lot since I first heard it & I'd have liked it to do well. Btw, I watched 1of your videos for the first time during a sleepless night last night. I've subscribed & already binge-watched a number of your videos. I like your style, & you seem like a really genuine guy. :-)

[@peterr.905]

Hi Jake, Apparently James wrote this song after taking a very cold dip in a Scottish lake whilst on holiday and maybe influenced him in getting Wim "The Iceman" Hof to appear in his video. This is a great song both lyrically and instrumental wise; it is a grower the more you listen to it; I find myself either whistling or humming this song. What an epic year for good to great ESC songs.

[@ankhefenra]

This is the best UK entry in... well, as long as I can remember. I guess the universe doesn't want UK to send a good entry. And what I love about this song is that it actually sounds like it comes from the British music industry and that's a huge step forward.

[@paulmarkwilkinson8778]

For the first time since 2014 the entry writes his own song

[@sannev8407]

This is so underrated in the Eurovision fandom, probably because it's the UK. But it's a very good and solid song and he has the vocals

[@heidim5720]

I really love this song! It was catchy and he had a beautiful voice. I also love your new intro!

[@MusicalElo]

UK is my favorite song of the Big 5, I just love it so much and the chorus is just so memorable and catchy. I really like it and I'm sure it would have been top 10 because it's so good and I'm bitter British media was treating it like it was second rate just because it's a ESC song. It's just sad. But fortunately it was pretty great to see some many British fans being behind it and defend it because they should proud of this song. I hope in 2021 they'll bring something as good with the same artists.

[@LeNaSmileyStar]

#WimHof #TheIceMan I see the songwriter(s) making an invitt to Holland because they used the Dutch Wim Hof alas the ICEman in the video. "It is all about the Breath".... The Guy in the vid, had 26 Guinness Records, he's a living legend. search him up. kzbin.info

[@benteaamodt1106]

You make me smile! Thank You! 😁😁

[@annesophie2011]

I love it! The best UK has send in some years. His brother John Newman is more wellknown (IIIII need to know now, know now, can you love me again?). I can't wait for your reaction to the other songs this year! I like a lot of them! Assuming you will do Netherlands next since they are the last year's winners, I hope you love some soul :). Thanks for these reactions, keep at them Jake!

[@Nora915]

That's the ice man. You should watch the video "Yes Theory" did with him on youtube. If you type "yes theory ice man" it should show up. Very interesting!

Man. Why couldn't the British media be as enthusiastic about this song as you? It's good! It's the best the BBC's done in a long time!

[@YoPham]

@@JakesFaceReacts Yeah. The media was pretty harsh. But most fans were ecstatic and were supportive, saying that this was a step in the right direction. Though, it's more of a leap, imo.

love wim hof the iceman. visit his website, brilliant man .

[@metodmolicnik9257]

Will the songs be the same in 2021 beacuse it was cancelled?

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Metod Molicnik As I understand it, it will be up to each delegation to decide the performer and and the song they will send in 2021. Luckily, most countries (Italy, Spain, Serbia, and many others) are sending the same artists. Honestly, each delegation should send the 2020 artists if they still want to compete in 2021. I anticipate a few countries who have hugely lucrative national finals will want to hold them again for 2021...mainly Sweden. I don’t know...this is just what I think.

[@sharkfinn4]

lol From that thumbnail, I was kinda worried you wouldn't like the song! But nah. I should've known you'd recognize it for the banger it is, albeit with an extremely confusing video.

[@cityonfoot6023]

I actually did think this was going to be a country song. The video I think is about some guy who lives his life the way he truly wanted to. But I might be wrong.

[@helloforeveryone422]

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Susanna Viles Are you slightly biased because Gina G. is Australian? Lol.💚✌️

[@susannaviles]

@@JakesFaceReacts Haha. Not just Aussie. She's from Brisbane. To 11 year old me it felt like no one on tellie in the 90s was from Brisbane, so that was a big deal. Representation is everything. It gives kids confidence to chase dreams. It breaks down mental barriers and makes everything possible. Gina made me feel like I could fly.

[@susannaviles]

@Tara king "Where are you now?" was a great one. I loved Imaani's voice. So soulful. "Making your mind up" is iconic. And because my mumma was a massive Cliff Richard and The Shadows fan, I'm obligated to like their songs as well. Haha.

Not a fan of this song to be honest. And I can't understand the video & the song together. Just like you said, Jake ! I also don't like that mini break before "breath" in the lyrics :( And I feel sorry for this singer because he has an amazing voice and deserves a better one ! In my opinion 5/10

unfortunately Eurovision 2020 and canceled and the next edition will be in 2021 with maybe the same candidates in Rotterdam but hey now you have to wait more than a year

It's nice. Id call it a step in the right direction. Had eurovision happened I still feel this probably wouldn't have done as well as they would have hoped. But it's the basis to build on going forward into the next few years. So for me what they do next year will be really key to that progression
