EUROVISION FAN REACTS TO EUROVISION SONG CONTEST // THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA

[@augustodominguez7416]

All of the entries are pretty ESC-adaptable ones and honestly “Husavik” could potentially win an actual contest. Just saying!

[@jimguevara6820]

Husavik deserves an oscar

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I've had the song stuck in my head for Days

[@jenoz4731]

I watched Eurovision 2019 and I must say I find Husavik a better song than the song Iceland actually performed in the real contest. Just my opinion. Actually, Double Trouble, to me, is also a better song.

Husavik is way better than a typical Eurovision song :p

Oh the elves are in Icelandic folklore, it’s like 80% of Icelanders not necessarily believe their are real but they respect them out of fear they might be real. Those little houses are all over there.

haha i'm icelandic and nobody actually believes in elves, it's just a myth ;)

[@blankname6629]

[@margretheilagadis_9753]

Im Icelandic. Believeing in elves is just like believeing in santa claus. You grow up with elf stories and there is always this one elf stone or hill in your town. But then you grow up. Still there are people like Sigrit all over the place. And excactly that we do respect the creepy elf stories out of fear if they were real. If you look up some icelandic elf stories you won’t sleep at night. So very creepy. . . But nice

[@YoshihitoBLM]

@@icyspicy11 Didn't they do a poll that showed some 54% of Icelanders either believed in Elves or that it was possible they could exist? Honestly, I think they could be real. There is so much unexplained stuff that happens everywhere you never know. :P

I really hope that the movie inspires more actual Eurovision performers to sing in their native language. Also Molly Sanden should get Oscar nom for that song at the end, it’s just as good as Never Enough imo

[@leahm24]

[@j0j01192]

My mom said the same thing about Never Enough.

[@hairyairey]

The UK has only ever won when they restricted singing to each country's national languages. It's a myth that it's down to tactical voting. In fact we have no clue what kind of music is popular across the EBU, maybe no-one else does either. But English has the advantage in the number of winning acts. 30 of the 60 winning songs have been in English. They last changed the rule in 1999 to allow anyone to sing in English and apart from 2007 every winner has been in English. So singing in your native language will probably not win you the contest.

[@Marii1S]

Since they were always gonna be "disqualified" on the final song, it makes no sense to do the final voting in the movie, that's why it was done in the Semi so at least we get a taste of that. This was done on purpose and they worked with the EBU so they were aware. Also there's a lot of songs in Eurovision that sound "American"...

[@guillemmartinez9958]

I do agree that some songs do sound American at times, but to me the Swedish rap entry wasn't very realistic. Maybe I'm just imagining things, but I don't think Sweden would ever send an act like that. It was kinda lame, and Sweden always gets me if only a little bit excited

[@discogareth]

I don’t think the songs sound American at all. They’re mainly written by Swedes. Admittedly Swedes who write for worldwide artists, but Swedes all the same!

The most hilarious part was the idea that in order to be hosted in Glasgow it would mean the UK would have won Eurovision the year before lol. (Also that their characters would be like... 50 given the ABBA origin story haha) As a Eurovision fan I loved it! The songs were bangers, and it captured the spirit of Eurovision. I've already watched it twice because it's such a feel good movie!

[@germanchocolatechip]

I mean Farrel is over 50. And Rachel McAdams is over 40. So it's not that much of a stretch.

[@meropale]

Rachel McAdams was -4 when ABBA won Eurovision but does it really matter? This is not a documentary and I agree it captures the joy and quirkiness of Eurovision.

*Edinburgh*

[@Heshinsi]

It doesn't necessarily mean that the UK won for Edinburgh to have been the host city. In real life the UK has hosted 4 (half of the UK's hosting tally) competitions where the previous winning country declined to host due to expenses/other reasons, and the UK was selected as the replacement country (it's happened 5 times where the winning country couldn't host and the UK was the replacement 4 out of the 5 times). My headcanon is that the same thing happened again, as they don't mention that the UK won the year before, but they make it a point that no one votes for them lol.

[@kotkaconforza]

I cannot explain why but that final song, “Husavik” brought me to tears - I mean... like a bawling mess as though this were a Pixar movie or something.

[@vingascon4113]

the mash up song they did on the song along and lordi's song on the contest was good as well... honestly the husavik song made me cry...

[@anthonyfranco88]

Some things I noticed that took me a little out of the film (as a Eurovision fan): Sweden had 7 people on stage (rules say 6), the Semi-Final results were in the Final format, and Spain/UK don't perform in the Semi-Final (they were on the scoreboard in the Semi). Also, if the UK is hosting this years Eurovision, why would their hosts not be British? The two hosts sounded Ukrainian or something.

[@vingascon4113]

@@olivia4162 I mean, I didn't like the storyline, the narrative, the jokes. And the acts were quite awful. It wasn't all bad, I liked being able to hear Salvador Sobral's song (though I didn't like that scene I must say), and the last balad was good (though it could have been better without Will Ferrell singing it in my opinion). The only scene I really enjoyed was the song along, I would have appreciated if they sang more Eurovision songs though, they only sang Abba's and Celine Dion's, the rest of song were comercial songs. It could have been a Switched Song Challenge like in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019's interval act for example, it couldhave been even better, there were sooo many Eurovision singers there, I wished they could have stringed along the movie, maybe they could have made it better... And, I would have liked Petra Mede, Måns Zelmerlöw and/or Filomena Cautela as hosts, they are my favourites. Those that were pretending to be the Eurovision Song Contest 2020's host were a joke.

It wasn't the actual 2019 stage, they replicated it in a studio, it looks similar but it is definitely not as big.

From what I saw in interviews Will Ferrell is a huge fan of Eurovision and when they approached them about making this movie he made sure that he let people who run Eurovision know that this was intended as a love letter to Eurovision and wasn't intended to be a mockery. I also thought that the 'bad guy' was just a nice guy who genuinely wanted Egrit to have a good life was refreshing. I think by making the person you root against still a good person it made Eurovision more wholesome, it could have easily made it seem like a joke if you made the participants look petty and vindictive. Eurovision from what I understand from this movie and interviews about it really is an amazing event where a huge portion of the world put aside differences and really celebrates each other and is genuinely happy for each other when they do good. We need more things that bring people together like this.

Americans tend to not like it very much, as they are not understanding the concept or Eurovision or have even seen/heard of it. One american was quite angry over "Hollywood trying to shove their agenda on people with people being gay, trans etc". He had no idea that those were true Eurovision participants. ;) But a lot of them liked it and I think we can expect more americans tuning in next year or even visiting the event.

Will and Rachel almost had the accent right, but pierce brosnan wasn't as accurate he sounded more like a norwegian lol

I love this movie. I watched it last night. I'm American, so I have no frame of reference for Eurovision, but I love Will Ferrell and have for decades since I was a kid watching him on SNL. The rest of the cast was bang on. My Dublin born wife, wasn't so much a fan as she felt it was doing Eurovision a disservice. Meh. That song at the end got me right in the feels and the sentiment right after it by where the Greek singer and Russian are speaking and she says, "You deserve to be happy too," and he replies, "Mother Russia does not agree." GREAT COMMENTARY on the bullshit going on in Russia regarding treatment of LGBTQ+ people. The singing by Will and Rachel was amazing, and I genuinely wonder if the Icelandic actors knew they'd break into Icelandic or if that surprise on the screen was real and they weren't expecting it. Not gonna lie, I was really hoping John C. Riley would pop out of the elf house at some point lol. Good video for a great movie.

I loved it! This movie has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days! I keep listening to the songs OF COURSE! Double Trouble is on repeat! Husavik a close second!

[@fendushi]

This is highly enjoyable! Just like the movie.

Hi Noosh. Loved your review.. Just in case you were unaware, the venue it was filmed in was the Israel Tel Aviv arena 2019, which was a very small venue for Eurovision.. In fact, in the final song where they get disqualified, Will Ferell played that ballad on Duncan Laurence's piano, the same one Duncan sat at in his winning song. I loved the in-jokes, I loved the casting. I counted 6 Eurovision winners ❤ I agree with you that the ghost scenes with Demi Lovato were unnecessary.. it's rating #2 on Netflix in Australia. Overall for me, 7.5 out of 10.

So nice to see this, I've never heard about eurovision before this movie

[@charliebell7916]

You don’t see a lot of reactions these days that are quality and entertaining so this video was a really good watch well done 😊

[@lovisabengtsson9200]

As a swede, I felt insulted by the swedish entry

[@Erydanus]

I just thought it was important to let you know that in America, the gays DO congregate in the "pubs" to watch Eurovision. Certain bars anyway.

Hello! You got a new Subscriber because I love Fire Saga!!!!!

[@matthewsolt5294]

whats your favrite song mine ja ja ding dong

[@gigiorea202]

the point system wouldn't have been as emotional/ important at the finals since Fire Saga was going to be eliminated for singing "Husavik" instead of "double trouble" . It was smart to change the point system to be shown during the semi finals for movie purposes. That way they can cut to a "at home, happy ending" instead of seeing who won... Although🤔 that would have been AWESOME to see too. 😆

[@shushens]

"Are these actual elves?" I am wondering how to react to this question :D What would be the point of showing the point system in the final after they were already disqualified?

[@oliviareed3077]

Love the songs in this movie! & The movie in general. Elves made me laugh out loud 😅

[@bradd26r32]

I have watched this movie like 8 times😂

[@DeadTalkLive]

Nice clip 👍! As a current KZbinr, I am on the lookout for creative ideas! Great Job!

[@unclealan8897]

who else wants to see Fire Saga perform in ESC2021???

[@Prinzzessin01]

...Spain does not compete in the semi-fianale because they belong to the Big 5 (Germany, UK, France, Spain and Italy) and are automatically qualified for the finale - big mistake!

[@Obenfiquista81]

Salvador was kind of a douchebag about doing this movie. He asked a lot of money because he didnt think they would say yes, and then he did one scene and i guess Will Ferrel asked him to do another and he said no, and he was pissed!(Will Ferrel). As a portuguese that really pissed me off. Many portuguese singers and actors would love a change like this, oh well...

[@DavidPrime83]

I love how after such a disaster they get up to finish the song.
