Of all the reactions I have seen yours is the one that speaks out my mind.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Awww that's so nice!!! Stick around then! There are so many more to come ❤️❤️❤️

[@jomaesdo]

Teóricamente en el caso de st. Pedro es un baile según el recuerdo que destape. El problema es que el concepto se entiende mal. Él y su canción en sí suma todo lo que debe sumar y no necesitan muchos extra

[@Kostis_ESC]

I agree. We mostly need him and his voice!! Not much more !!!

[@phillippalee1966]

I really agree with you about st.Pedro. I love this song and I do think the visual is confusing.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Pfff... I hope he can change things till tomorrow!!

[@jomaesdo]

He can’t. In case he is selected to Malmo he will be able to changes stuff. I just love this song. He should smile and should have his eyes wide open. I believe the lights were blinding him last night

[@Kostis_ESC]

@@jomaesdo I love the song too! It's my favourite ❤️ And yes. He should connect more with his eyes. We don't need all the rest. Just his charisma and voice are enough!!

[@blancaify]

​@@Kostis_ESC Thanks so much for your video.The song has a unique magic; he just needs to loosen up a bit more, but only he can sing it. I am sure the staging will be reconsidered by his team for Eurovision.

[@Kostis_ESC]

@@blancaify thank YOU for watching ❤️ And yes!!! I'm pretty sure if he wins they can reconsider the staging and make better decisions!!! The song I LOVE 😍

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hi Everyone and thank you for watching 🥰 Now that we've seen everyone! Who should go to Eurovision for Spain??

[@laiam.7943]

Fully agree on St. Pedro. Add warmer lighting. Show the instruments. More close-ups, too.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Yes to everything!! ❤️

[@ruthcn6890]

👍

[@mariansantos-co6kd]

Hi Kostis, my reaction with Jorge was the same as yours.. I couldn't stop laughing but in a good way, he did an amazing performance even though I don't like the song

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hiii!!! I don't know why I was laughing to be honest! I think it's because I wasnt expecting this and I was embarrassed that I felt excited by it!! 😂 😂 😂

[@metulj]

Kostis you live in London? Great....How is London? How is leaving there? Great video....

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hi! Yes I do! And I love it ❤️ Thank you for watching 🥰

[@ivanpuntoeme]

Completely agree with your comments for Jorge, I think improving this he could be the best candidature.

[@Kostis_ESC]

❤️❤️

[@anaabejon5093]

Estoy de acuerdo con tu opinión con la puesta en escena de St Pedro, se queda corta, el baile es demasiado brusco para la canción.Jorge está fantástico. El baile tiene que ser así. No es un pasodoble, sin pasos de bailaores de flamenco en la que se cuida la fuerza y la figura, las manos un bailaor no tiene la misma plástica de una bailaora.Absolutamente in love con Angi y Jorge. No fallarán el directo.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Thank you for your comment and for correcting me about the flamenco!!!! I will learn ❤️ 😅 I hope st. Pedro will surprise us on the finale! Otherwise I'm happy with Jorge 😁😍

[@anaabejon5093]

​@@Kostis_ESCEs un guiño a España y a su etnia.Jorge es gitano 😍

[@Kostis_ESC]

❤️❤️❤️

[@alessandria5253]

I really like the way you 'annalyse' the acts, is it possible that you have a background in theatre or physical theatre/performance? I mihht be completely wrong, but we have similar ways to approach criticism

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hiiii! Thank you so much 😊🙏 And yes! I am an actor with the most experience in physical theatre!! you too ??

[@alessandria5253]

@@Kostis_ESC looool!!! Me toooooo!!! And I live in London as well so we might've even crossed paths in auditions hahaha

[@Kostis_ESC]

@@alessandria5253 hahaha... Maybe. Although I don't do a lot of auditions since the pandemic. I'm trying to get into film now! But hey! Nice to have another actor/performer here 😁😁

[@josecal8081]

Dancers: 4 mood states of a love relationship that now it's broken. But he should change the staging because only few people understand. Anyway, still my favorite to win. The best song and with a room for improvement in Malmö. Love your vids reactions

[@Kostis_ESC]

Thank you again for watching and sharing your opinion ❤️ Yes, the meaning of the staging is not clear to me. Also, how is it 4 mood states since they all have the same pace and energy and colour and everything? It should probably be different then... It definitely needs improvement but yeah! Still my favourite song ! Who's my favourite to win? I don't know anymore 😂

[@chemacardena6461]

I' m agree

[@muddyfeet69]

Hi Kostis - I would appreciate if you could react to the german act from "Das Deutsche Finale 2024" for the ESC - here in a live performance: *Bodine Monet - Tears Like Rain | Humberto* I think Germany has a TOP 10 act here - what do YOU think?

[@Kostis_ESC]

Heyyy I have reacted to all songs from Germany! I can't put link in the comments but it's in the "pre Eurovision 2024" playlist ❤️

[@Monzeitia]

Jorge González, he has everything to do so well, he said he had to lose volume to be able to move better, he was very muscular before

[@Kostis_ESC]

Good good! I trust that he knows what he's doing. He seems to be working very hard!!!

[@ruthcn6890]

Me gustan mucho tus reacciones y me siento muy identificada con tu manera de analizar las canciones. Para mí la música tiene que transmitir. Hay varias propuestas muy distintas que lo hacen pero debería ser la más completa, pero valorando lo que nos presentan hoy y no lo que puedan llegar a presentar, la que gane el Benidorm Fest para ir a ESC. Para mí estos son los puntos de las diferentes propuestas: ANGY, te transmite una historia y evoluciona a lo largo de la canción tomando más fuerza. Buena escenografía. Buen nivel vocal. NEBULOSSA, mensaje, música ochentera pegadiza, atrevimiento y actitud. MARÍA, te cuenta una historia, estupenda escenografía, un estilo nuestro, garra y gran nivel vocal. JORGE, ritmo animado, bailable, diferente (para mí es la DIVA en masculino, un DIVO) presentación y buen nivel vocal. ST PEDRO, instrumental maravilloso (pero se perdía un poco su fuerza en vivo), sentimiento y delicadeza, vocalmente costaba apreciar sus matices quizás por el volumen. El problema de St Pedro es que su puesta en escena, al igual que la de Sofia, restaba a la canción. En lugar de generar la atmósfera que requería este bolero su presentación lamentablemente me hizo desconectar. Veremos que nos depara la final 😉 Saludos

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hiii and thank you for watching and taking time to share your thoughts ❤️ I agree with everything you said. These are the options for me too! And if st Pedro wins I hope they'll rethink the staging!!

[@Gravysushi]

St Pedro has been my number 1 but the staging was….. not my favorite. Jorge was not even on my radar until last night. Wowza!! Glad he is bringing the heat to all of our winters haha

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hahahha.... We will now spend less on heating thanks to Jorge 🤣😂🤣 I have exactly the same feeling as you. But I still believe that if st. Pedro wins he can change things and convince us again at Eurovision!! Because we have the song and the performer! And these are the most important things. We can change the staging!!!

[@Fer-sm4mg]

St Pedro winner ❤

[@consogutierrez2981]

1.St. Pedro 2.Nebulosa 3.Jorge

[@anaperezhernandez4381]

St. Pedro. El mejor con diferencia.

[@CoCaSilvia]

I like your descriptions a lot. I prefer Angy, but Jorge is a good option. But let's see saturday, could be someone surprised us if they improved.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Thank you for your nice comment 🙏 ❤️ Yes. I still believe that someone might surprise us on Saturday!! Can't wait 😍

[@miz_salvatore2133]

It is quite unexpected because they ALWAYS have the habit of using dancers even when they are not needed

[@Kostis_ESC]

Except Almácor who did need them !!!

[@SuperMarta76]

Jajaja Jorge González 🥵

[@Kostis_ESC]

Si 🔥🔥

[@kuvattelija]

i love caliente!! and your reaction 😄

[@Kostis_ESC]

Awww thank you so much for your sweet comment 🙏☺️♥️

[@mery0867]

Jorge a Eurovisión 👏👏👏♨️♨️♨️♨️🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@Kostis_ESC]

😍😍❤‍🔥

[@MaikRodriguez]

Jorge is the best this year

[@Kostis_ESC]

🔥

[@tys38]

After two semifinals, I think the best choices for Spain to Eurovision are Angy and Jorge. Almacor was an horror in vocals

[@Kostis_ESC]

Yeap!

[@arantzabayod752]

Jorge to Eurovision!!!!

[@Kostis_ESC]

❤️

[@Fer-sm4mg]

No,Jorge is bottom.

[@dimitrismouchtaropoulos1933]

Συμφωνώ μαζί σου για όλα όσα είπες για τον St Pedro, θέλει σίγουρα αλλαγή χορευτικού και γενικού στησίματος δεν ταιριάζει με το ύφος και το συναίσθημα του τραγουδιού. Δεν είναι από τα αγαπημένα μου το βαριέμαι προσωπικά. Προτιμώ Zorra ή Angy. Το τραγουδι του Jorge Ίδια τρασιλα με το Αντρεναλινα San Marino ο ρυθμός του αν το παρατηρησεις, αυτός απο την αλλη είναι σαν να μπήκε μέσα του το πνεύμα της Αγίας σανελ και του WRS απο ρουμανια αλλά με μηδεν ενεργεια και χορευτικο αγγουρέ. λολ

[@Kostis_ESC]

Χαχαχα... Εγώ πάντως ιδρωσα με το αγόρι !!! 😂😂😂 Και το Αντρεναλινα δεν μου άρεσε ποτέ. Αυτό το προτιμώ! Ο Στ. Πέντρο είναι ο αγαπημένος μου αλλά θέλω άλλη σκηνική παρουσία. Η Ατζη καλή επιλογή αλλά δεν με τρελαίνει το τραγούδι. Απ' ότι φαίνεται εκεί που οι περισσότεροι συμφωνούμε είναι οι Νεμπουλοσα. Μήπως να πάνε αυτοί να το χαρούμε όλοι!!!

[@dimitrismouchtaropoulos1933]

Ουτε εμενα, ναι είναι καλύτερο και εγω το προτιμώ αλλά Zorra for the win! :) @@Kostis_ESC

[@lavidaesbella35]

Hello Kostis! In my opinion, dancers have nothing to do with the storytelling and St. Pedro's charisma was not good either. Even so, the song is beautiful and his voice is pretty and sweet. If he eventually becomes the winner of Benidorm Fest , he should have to make some changes ( dancers, lights) in order to get a good position at ESC, above all he has to work on his charisma on the stage to be able to connect more with the public.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Yes to everything!!!

[@AnaLopez-wc3sh]

No matter how good Jorge’s performance was (which is arguable), the song itself is too bad. Sorry. We cannot send that to Eurovision.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Well, it's not my favourite song either! But the performance convinced me that he's gonna work in all the right directions to improve.

[@mtjapsp]

Love your reactions, Kostis. You are the only non-Spanish KZbinr Eurofan who has realized what was happening with the Remitente dancers. The path of crosses was a path to death, indeed. And the only one who has noticed that Jorge's break dance was some type of Spanish dance, even if it was flamenco and not bolero. You are a sensitive guy and it is very appreciated. I am sorry, however, to disagree with you regarding St. Peter's song for ESC. I think it is not correctly performeded, the voice does not have the necessary warmth, sometimes shouted and out of tune (perhaps due to nerves). He doesn't have good body language and the setting doesn't help either, as you've seen. I'm really sorry, because he is practically the winner already, but he has said that he is not going to change anything because he loves his setup and I am afraid that we will repeat Blanca Paloma's position. I would vote for Angy, but she has little chance. P.S. If Jorge wins today, you already know that you have to react tomorrow after your morning coffee! 😂😂

[@Kostis_ESC]

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment 🙏🥰 I actually agree with you about st Pedro's presence. If he said he won't change a thing then I don't want him to win to be honest. Cause whatever he made me feel with the song, he didn't with his performance. Hopefully he will reconsider :/ And yes! I wouldn't mind to react to Jorge again after my morning coffee ❤️ 🥵 😅
