Part 2 coming soon!! also had some copyright issues so I had to make some songs/performances shorter than others 🥺 sorry!! ALSO I accidentally listened to Serbia's 2020 song instead of 2021 (it's by the same group so I clicked the wrong video)!!! so sorry the 2021 version will be in part 2

[@roose85723]

Just FYI, the language in Birth of a New Age was not Dutch but a language of Suriname prior to Dutch colonization. A pretty powerful thing to include in the song representing the Netherlands.

[@alexhalex8]

I'm not sure if that's what you were implying but Sranan Tongo is still not a native American language. It's an English-based creole with great Dutch influence in the vocabulary that started developing back when it still was an English colony. So what you say is partly true but it's not an indigenous language (again, sorry if you were not implying that, but for someone who doesn't know it may look like so).

[@arposkraft3616]

rather part of the "gone with ourselfs mentality" ... surinam has been granted independence decades ago, its not part of the netherlands, but they just have to insert foreigners into everything to be political correct.

[@ХеленаЂорђевић-о4р]

"Hasta la vista" was our song for 2020. This year's song is called "Loco loco" you should check it out. Thanks for great ranking!

[@oodles_noodles6322]

Not Dutch but I like the Netherlands' entry. The message and the lyrics resonated with me. It is very underappreciated, disliked even, but the lyrics are just powerful in my opinion. The non-English phrase is Sranan Tongo, the official language of Suriname where Jeangu is from. It is Yu no man broko mi, which means "You can't break me." In the last part of the song, there's the phrase "Yu no man broko mi. Mi na afu sensi." It is roughly translated to "You can't break me, I am only half a cent." I have read that afu sensi (half cent) is the lowest currency you can have in Suriname. In a sense, the lyric meant to me that you can't bring me down any lower or you can no longer break me. Great reactions to the songs. I hope to watch your reactions in part 2. Be well and stay safe.

[@loumandatw]

Can’t wait til u do part 2!! My favorites this year is 1. Italy😍 Måneskin is such an amazing group and they’re just so aesthetically pleasing and the song is one of my favorite songs atm! 2. Switzerland, His voice is magical. The song is so powerful and he definitely got one of the best voices this year. 3. Iceland, Do I have to say anything? They’re fantastic! Fun and the lyrics is super cute. 4. Sweden, because it’s my country and Tusse is such an amazing guy who has had a very tough childhood as a refugee and yeah, he is so young and fantastic. I do really think you should go ahead and listen to these songs. They’re definitely up there with bets and I bet you all of these will be somewhere in the top 7🥰

[@shahnawaz_ami]

I'm still mesmerized by the beauty of Voilà. Barbara's singing style reminds me of Edith Piaf - the lyrical poetry & the emotional depths in it are so elegant. I think this song perfectly represents France, specially the exquisiteness of french music.

My favorite is Russian song. Not because I am from Russia, but because of the lyrics. It touched my heart in some way. It was about sensitive topic - single mothers.

[@swissamaterasu]

Even though I don't understand the lyrics, I love your entry this year! Manizha personnality really brings the song to life, LOVE her.

[@arinna527]

@@swissamaterasu it’s just (not really but mostly) random phrases that express the Russian women’s life . Like “you’re already 30, hello, it’s time for kids! you’re kinda pretty but need to lose weight”. And in the end she says “I’m not blaming you, but I’m crazily in love with myself” (kinda pushing back all this pressure from the society). For your understanding when I was 16-18, my granny started to pray for me to get a kid 😎 I’m 22 now, barely responsible for my wealth ( obviously have no kids because of that). And she thinks that I have problems just because I have no kids. Like, IM JUST A KID ( lol)

If I can say one thing about the Netherlands The second language is not Dutch, but a Surinamese language. Many people do still speak dutch there but they also have an own language and that's what he's singing. Also his heritage is from there.

[@redbirdwings]

This was a good year of Eurovision songs.

[@n.ss.n4586]

I like this music, the singer, the voice, the lyrics and the melodic line, the contemporary dance is also very well placed in this video, the grimaces of this singer, her way of dodging, everything is by far very well done ! He would have fully deserved the first place at Eurovision ! With a dreamy air and a cosmic look, Roxen considers music to be a therapy, both for her and for those who listen to her. Her songs heal, purify and bring harmony. Her music does not make a difference, it is universal, just like love. "I want to be that spark that ignites a flame in other people's lives. I want everyone to try to do that. The world would be so much better!" Roxen is the new generation of international music, beyond the fact that she was wronged at Eurovision, her wandering face, voice and lyrics show us this overwhelming aspect!
