It’s actually Igglybuff not Jigglypuff 🫣 I’m so Jet lagged please forgive me, I’m usually on it when it comes to Pokémon

[@nicod1361]

Hello ,as you are a classical musician there is a band and singer you just must know about and do a reaction to ,they are from Finland but their lead vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch ,Nigtwish is a Symphonic Metal band , the Symphony elements are from the London Philharmonic almost all songs are written and composed by the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, they are the most reacted to band on YT with an average of 30 reactions a day, their masterpiece Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 is also the most reacted to performance ever on YT, its' utterly unique and epic , possibly unlike anything you have heard or seen before, hope you will give it a go, be fore warned tho your channel will be swarmed by one of the biggest fan bases's on YT and you just may get addicted to this amazing band and singer, cheers NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) : Wacken 2013 best link ends in BAVo

Thank you for your rating! It's always a pleasure listening to your well explained comments. Here's my personal Top 10: 1. Norway (Just love the build up and its passionate, extatic nature) 2. Switzerland (great mix of genres, all really well performed, great message as well) 3. Italy (I really like, how she shows, that a pop song doesn't need to be standardized and can have lots of variety. Great vocals as well and I love her attitude and charisma) 4. Armenia (As you said, it's uplifting, joyful. It will be quite a highlight in the show) 5. Croatia (Fun and energetic song with good lyrics as well. I can see why it's a favorite of the public) 6. Serbia (Really beautiful song, that will stand out between all the loud entries. I hope it will be rewarded) 7. Portugal (That song grew a lot on me, although it always let's me cry when listening to it. I guess a have a sweet spot for such melancholy) 8. Belgium (The last minute is great. maybe the first half coud have benefitted from a bit more variety) 9. Estonia (Fun and catchy song. Coul maybe have benefited from some more build-up or variety) 10. Ukraine (Great vocals and rap. The song just lacks a highlight towards the end. Maybe the staging can compensate that. It looks pretty epic)

Hi Rachel, great video and commentary as always! Glad you had a great time soloing Japan 🌸 and I pretty much have your top three in my tops as well.

I'm rooting for Belgium as well. Not only is it the best song, Mustii is a talented artist. An actor who writes his own music and dances in a very expressive and emotional way. In interviews he comes across as passionate and authentic so yeah I'm sold. Great video

[@oscarfernald9402]

Zemrën n'dorë… the one song that made me cry. There is so much emotion in her vocals, and then at the second chorus that beautiful harmony with the male background vocal… and everyone is praising Titan as an improvement, but I feel nothing, it sounds so flat. So it felt very redeeming to hear you express my exact opinion, thank you!

I'd say our lists are fairly similar. I very much enjoy the Belgian track but I think they're now in trouble given the waning attention on the song and somewhat disappointing response to the rehearsal footage. Croatia is my number one followed by Norway, and then it's between Belgium and Italy.

[@miguellupi8709]

Agree in general and specially about the winner. As it's more fun to discuss the differences of opinion: Latvia - sorry but I think we have heard this before. He sings very well but so does the French; Georgia - it's greatly performed but no matter the instrumentation, it's just a good pop song. Those lyrics mean very little; Armenia - it's fun for half of the song, then it gets repetitive. With the added thing of only being 2:30 mins. Greece is miles better in its mix of genres and not getting too repetitive. Ps: thanks for my country's14th place. I would take that now lol

My gosh France on 24th place 🤨😒 Whereas Ireland, Czechia (good song, but she is weak live) higher than a gifted man with an incredible voice.. That was unintelligible... I know that you consider everything, despite that Slimane has a really simple song, his incredible full of emotion voice is truly touching plenty of people.

I'm speechless too. 😅

[@eddielil348]

It's not a singing competition,he might have a good voice,but the song sounds like a cliche of a random french song

[@monika7811]

@eddielil348 but isn't it supposed to be a song that represents a country? How can't it be a typical French song when it comes from France. I just think that people have a problem with French representatives because they are being French. When they will be doing something else, it will be bad too.. Why don't we just appreciate how incredible a singer Slimane is ? Instead of complaining, how Frenchy does it sound?

[@monika7811]

@eddielil348 and really Eurovision is not a singing competition? Did you see how crazy it sound? 🤯🤯

[@ESC_ChrisM]

@@monika7811 I think the issue honestly is that this doesn't really represent France as it is now. I love Slimane as an artist, and he's a top guy too, but this song is just a letdown for me (also, I live in a French speaking environment and used to live in France). If you consider that Hera Bjork's song, for example, for UK people is considered dated, then the equivalent for France would be Mon Amour to some extent. Don't get me wrong, I still think it will do very well and people will love it, but I consider it more of a cliche of France than an actual representation of France today.

[@Mark-yd2cv]

Great review! Always happy to see your honest reviews:)

[@UsernameUsername0000]

Belgium has grown off me a bit (was also my #1) but it’s so disrespected in the fandom. So happy it’s valued here. It’s very clear this fanbase feels vindictive against anything that’s not a “girl bop” and I’m sick of how sassy they think they feel when they wish that this song gets last place. Like why. Happened last year with Watergun too. There’s a difference between not liking a song and then actively “praying for its downfall”… way to yuck other people’s yum - lol.

[@Madam-Padam]

Those people are chronically online and apart of the stanning culture, anyone who isn’t apart of that realises how silly and stupid they are. People get so invested and irrational just enjoy and support what you like. Whilst Belgium is without a doubt my number one song, i do think the end package could potentially end up mid despite being a winning song imo.

[@UsernameUsername0000]

@@Madam-Padam Oh absolutely. The stench of joblessness and lack of personality can’t be mistaken. I hate how the fanbase for this contest has been getting increasingly catty and tied to stan culture as the years go by. Eurovision is not just for them, it’s for everyone. No wonder people who aren’t in on these things are turning away from the contest year by year. I know this sounds cringeworthy but stan culture has done wonders for weirdos who don’t dare go in real life and act the garbage way they act behind these pfps.

These people fighting over this like they feel “threatened” by anything else that a lot of people seem to like, these artists doesn’t even know you lol.

[@tvuboji2828]

Shame on you! Baby lasanga is not clown! Meow from Croatia! 😢

[@Lambertv]

Anyone who has in their lyrics "meow cat please meow back" shouldn't be considered a winner, let's be fucking real. Every day I keep realise how much that song is actually bad. People keep compare it to Kaarija, and soon they gonna say "Kaarija lost last year so Lasagna gotta win this year", so here you go, I'm gonna compare it too. That is not half as good as "Cha Cha Cha", weak production, exceptionally bad mixing, terrible lyrics (the "rim tim tagi dim" just for the sake of being catchy etc), the meowing community makes it even fucking worse, and let's not forget the lad CANNOT SING. The live DORA performance just picks it up out of the shit and dress this into fun to watch show with classic thing of having signature "dance"(?) move (that crouch with hand slams and kinda headbanging to the sides) and odd and still surprising for Eurovision rural elements like washing clothes or whatever was happening back there in DORA performance (casus of extremely pretentious Konstrakta e.g.). Disappointing & disgraceful that this is the contender to win Eurovision but well, have it your way, Europe. The contest will be mocked of having shit & kitschy music even more. I have no issues to other genres (quite the contrary), and if the "shout screaming" is a referrence to Norway, then let me tell you that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I think Marina does interesting compositions as she initially studied Architecture and that has influenced her way of thinking......and as a software engineer I could also see her building software (patterns, GoF book and etc.) :)

Belgium is my favourite too.😀

Hi Rachel, immediately clicked on your video as soon as it came up in my feed. Lovely plushy, hope you had fun in Japan! Looking forward to the video with your sister, although my taste in music doesn't match with yours or hers. Thank you for rating Joost as high as you did. I do hope that you are right about Bambie thug qualifying, i NEED that song in the final.

Rachel, do you get any Falco vibes from Europapa? Especially in the verses.

Teya Dora Top 5!❤

[@cestlamusiqueblog2530]

With due respect...Slimane 24th is an insult to his talent. He's undoubtedly one of the top singers of this edition, and Mon amour is simple but powerful, clearly better than the majority of this year's songs. Probably not strong enough to win, but with a good performance, surely it SHOULD be Top10 material. ⭐ Talking about other entries...Italy, Croatia and Norway are high in my ranking too.

[@Valemustikka]

If this was the "French ballad contest of 2024" I'm sure Slimane would be number 1 🎉

Thanks a lot for your Top 36 and welcome back Rachel🩷! Here is what my personal Top 10 looks like: 1. Portugal 2. Switzerland 3. Lithuania 4. Ukraine 5. The Netherlands 6. Italy 7. Greece 8. Sweden 9. Serbia 10. Israel I originally had Belgium in my Top 10 as well, but i have to admit that it fell really flat for me with the live performance and that the more I have listened to it, the more less i liked it, but I still think it is a great song in general. Greetings from Germany❤

Ugh you’re such an icon obsessed

[@dotantzor3269]

Hi Rachel, I love your videos and appreciate your knowledge of music. My list has differences, but there are also similarities. Unfortunately, I cannot ignore your disregard for the entry of Israel. I think you and many others are not familiar with the entire facts of this terrible conflict.

[@celsoalves7681]

You do not worry, decent and fair people is very familiar with this 75 yo conflict. Thank you for caring

[@dotantzor3269]

@@celsoalves7681 I'm not really sure if you're implying that you agree or just being cynical. In any case, it is legitimate to criticize Israel for certain actions, but confiscating Israel and denying its right to self-defense is supporting a terrorist entity that openly declares its desire to destroy the State of Israel, and works to achieve that end.

[@ido_cohen]

@@celsoalves7681 decent and fair people know that it didn't start in 1948, but thousands of years ago. The Jews have been suffering Antisemitism and harassments for thousands of years. Therefore they must have their own country, and where would it be if not in their historical land? The name "Palestine" was invented by the Romans (named after the ancient people "Philistines"), after they expelled the Jews from the land, which its real name is the "land of Israel".
