REACTION: Mustii - 'Before the Party’s Over' | BELGIUM Eurovision 2024

[@denadivah]

Mustii is famous for being an absolute beast on stage, so there's absolutely zero doubt he's going to kill it ! (Belgian talking here :) )

[@yellowjoe_]

I'm really gonna miss the amount of uploads we're getting once Eurovision season ends

[@brandycurry496]

Me too😢

[@kyriakostsinivits1084]

I’m with Nova on this one. I am personally obsessed with Belgium’s entry the potential for the live staging is huge! Cannot wait 🙌

[@michelledehaen8997]

He is a very good live performer. He is an actor aswell. The staging will be great too, you'll see. Hugs from Belgium ❤❤❤

[@ariearys9649]

The song is perfectly constructed and professionally performed. Mustii also has a very good voice, the song captivates every second. What more could you want? This is a potential winner!

[@quackster725]

Oh honey.

[@davidlloyd14]

I think the repetition is its power. And it’s awesome.

[@TARDIStraveller96]

I absolutely love this song, it's pretty much secured it's spot as my runner up behind Ulveham

[@rosamariavenegastoledo6328]

Winner,winner.....love this epic song....,from spian 12 points...❤❤❤❤

[@janswennen5899]

Ahhhhh it's over 😢

[@Benbenbenbenbenbenbenben1]

I’ve had this on loop for days I love it! Can’t see me liking a song more than this 12 points from Brighton :-)

[@lemastre]

First video about this that has a real vibe. Love the discourse. Belgian myself and this year I must say I really like our song. Usually I don't. In short, I love the build up.

[@dorinapenapoet]

Omg this gorgeous. This might be my fav. Great vocals. Great staging I can see easily translating to the live. He is so connected with his whole body. I adore this. Go belgium

[@mio.vision]

Its fun how tastes among fellow Eurovision fans converge and diverge. My top two so far: Norway and Belgium.

[@moononastick8628]

Currently my top! LOVE. Well done Belgium ❤

[@albert2belgikalbertcallens888]

Mustii and Belgium definitely the best song this Eurovision 2024 my winner 💯💯😜😜🇧🇪🇧🇪

[@ArtisticallyArranged]

I loved this from the first listen too and he's an incredible performer, with so much power in his voice. 💗

[@SL-og1qf]

This is the first one that really got me

[@BexTheDestroyer]

He is a fabulous performer and his voice is fantastic. I'm excited for the live. I am wanting a bit more from the song and Nova made an excellent point about room to build the live vocal. In other video news. "In the st tropez" (just that bit) in Olympia's voice, is now on solid rotation in my head and now me & my love randomly sing it around the house and it cracks me up 💜 .

[@ohbitxc9793]

Belgium is going to grow on me so much

[@calamityjenn]

Nova looks freaking fantastic in this video. Olympia is gorgeous, of course, but those blue eyes are stunning with that makeup! ❤

[@EnsoTB]

I genuinely think this is the closest to a winning song we have seen so far! If his vocal can belt the ending, it’ll do very very well Comparing it to Arcade in terms of song structure, I don’t even think it would need to be staged in any particular way. Love it ❤

[@joemorgan3124]

My hot take with Belgium is if they're early-to-mid in the final running order, this is a top five. If it's late, it doesn't have any hope at all. That hook and impact of the last minute needs to bring you in which I don't think people will have the patience for once they've seen tons of songs.

[@terminallyelleofficial]

Sounds like a James Bond song ❤

[@cant_handle_deeznuts]

no more of a David Bowie

[@Evelina_412]

I just wanna say that I really appreciate you guys making a statement on Israel's participation in the competition this year and including it with every video, as well as not even entertaining Luxembourg's nonsense. Not everyone making eurovision content on youtube has had as much of a spine and it's been kind of disappointing.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Blanche

[@Hydraas]

I really love this song, it's jumped up to number 2 for me, pushing Slovenia to third. What I really love about this year is so many of the "weaker" countries and/or ones that haven't won before are either in the top 10 conversation or even in contention to win!

[@goonerbean4680]

FINALLY! France has fallen 💀 My new number 1! 🌟 That last minute is open for a stage performance in my opinion. If he just stands there singing I’ll be annoyed. He seems like a showman from what I’ve heard and seen. I wouldn’t mind the staging to be like the music video. But he needs to really pull something out for the last minute. My hopes are high, but I’ll be watching with one eye closed behind a sofa nervously. Olympia!!!! 12th? What the fuck? 👊🏼

[@halo19]

My heart wants Norway to win but my head says this is going to take it. Depending on the staging and live vocal I reckon we're looking at another Arcade style winner.

[@catrionacolville2192]

Those 2 and Ukraine are my standouts.

[@ajstubbs1248]

Thank you for your Israel statement girls

[@tomicolex]

Nothing musty about Mustii's platinum tones: he certainly remembered to run a toner through his hair. It is looking a little dry, however. Fortunately there was plenty of steam available for the video.

[@Ms.Laterholmes5253]

Love the top, Nova🖤😎

[@Leakampff]

I think its a great song, incredibly cinematic and dramatic - something important for a Eurovision song i think. I also think the performance and vision from Mustii himself is clear. But 1. I think its hard to judge just based on the studio cut + music video and no live performance yet (i dont doubt it will be stunning live too) 2. Visually so far i think its maybe a litttttle too warm - dusty sandy, combined with a dramatic pop anthem, the mv is slightly too similar to Tattoo's staging theming as well as Loreen's type of music for me to see it winning this year. I don't think songs with this kind of proximity would be back to back winners. So ultimately i don't see this being a winner this year, definitely super strong though, defo qualifying and can't wait to see how it does in the final :) I lovvvvve this type of music in particular though too haha

[@queenyblahblah]

I was not expecting a clip of O Julissi my whimsy has been activated

[@shroomyesc]

I _think_ unless we get something else that makes me change my mind we might have our jury winner right here? I don't think overall winner unless the performance is somehow so groundbreaking that enough of the public votes for it but I can't see Sweden winning over the juries this year and this is definitely less cheesy than France which I think the juries will appreciate. Otherwise the hardest hitting songs right now are mostly tele magnets.

[@jd-636]

8:11 exactly!

[@froufroudeluxe]

Been waiting for this one 🔥

[@ElisandreBlanctorche]

As an anecdote, Mustii is also part of Drag Race Belgium's jury for both seasons.

[@Relevart9169]

This song really reminds me of the wrong place, its moody, its grown up, its GOOD. If they stage it right (which i believe they will, seeing the artist) i hope it gets in the top 10

[@kate3742]

Je suis une dolly 🎵 that song has been stuck in my head for days now 😅

[@kaiknlast]

see the reason i think this might do really well is because it's one of the only ballads - and probably the only passionately anguished ballad - we have this year. had this entered in 2022 it would have been eaten alive, but i think this year its biggest rivals so far are Slimane and maybe Dons if you squint a lot. i'm in love with it tbh.

[@fakkeltheaterantwerpen5844]

BLACK - YELLOW - RED.... colours videoclip are the colours of the Belgian flag

The only people he will lose are those who don’t have any music taste and they aren’t really a lost. This the winner of this year. Greetings from 🇮🇹

[@michelledehaen8997]

Thank you very much !!! Italy has a beautiful song too ❤❤❤

[@martinklett1119]

I really love this song, so lets hope it's gonna be top 3 ! Nova, I really like your shirt/top in this video ! Please let me know where you got it. Greetings from Germany !

[@TopHatNat]

Yeah I like this one 🔥 I'm loving this series *Eurovision 2024*

[@skyblackking9732]

this is in my top 10 for sure, if he does a half normal half drag look like the mirror scene, it would be really intriguing

[@paulguyett]

I get the argument of losing people with the slowburn but the recap is def going to have the powerful section and anyone who went off to get a cup of tea will return to check it out to see what they missed

[@HarryShires]

Whenever I see the pearl hood thing I just think it's a motion capture suit

[@RussellKlischer]

I was really getting on with this song until the climax of it. Perhaps if it didn’t go on for quite as long it wouldn’t bother me as much, but the ending really soured my whole opinion of the song.

[@dogdonut3]

Mustii reminded me of Rocky from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[@jlust6660]

I wasn't sure what this was going to become when they announced the artist, but I actually really like it!

[@deepoceanltu7285]

Love the song! Its my number one Or second sofar❤️

[@moekeark]

Belgium 12 points!!!!

[@glitchessence]

Got nowt to lose in the Moulin Rouge and we'll flash our pants when we Can Can!

[@scaryclarey654]

Cool look on Nova!

[@Luna-ii4mx]

This song is very slow, and I need him to add more melodic singing in the end, change it up a little. Other than that, I think its a top 5 because it has alot of fans. But the staging better be dramatic. Norway is my favourite. Its been consistent high quality of songs this year though, Usually I dislike most of them, but I would say I like 50% of this year so far.

[@MadameChristie]

I do really like this song def in my top 10, though I am a Baby Lasagna stan now and forever😅

[@NikolajMohar]

I would prefer it if you blind reacted to entries when you guys are able to. A lot of the songs coming will be released without any of us having heard it before and it's more interesting to see your genuine and first reaction to songs - it just makes better content in my opinion, but of course you should do what you guys think is best. Either way I love these reactions!

[@georgiadreamingbb1245]

Oh my god every time I hear scurvy come up in any context, all I think of is that Pink song from SpongeBob. Every single time.

[@claudio32920]

I knew Mustii first as Drag Race judge in Belgium. His voice & presentation here impressed me. The production is excellent. But as time goes by, I am favoring more unique, creative entries: Switzerland, San Marino, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Spain. This is just my taste. I am from US so I am completely baffled by the votes, jury, regional influences & voting power, affinities & sympathies.

I think Valentina Monetta can still win Eurovision. Perhaps with a sequel to The Social Network Song to shine a light on the problems one encounters whilst playing cybersex in the era of AI. 'The Deepfake P0rno Doppelgänger Jam (OH OH - Uh - OH OH 2)". She's got the voice.

[@Itsme_Trouble]

Reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Just the man that he made flopping all over the place

[@lelb1972]

Switzerland entry is really good. Think opera drum n bass

[@scorpioninpink]

This and Cyprus is in danger tbh. I finished listening to both and completely forgot about the lyrics and the beat.

[@cathedraldarkness]

I like this song but I don’t love it. The last 30 seconds are begging for a huge vocal moment. Hopefully the live performance will bring that out. The muted drums zap the energy of the song just a little bit. I need that pop of the snare to really sell the desperation of trying to stop something from ending. I’m very curious to see how this plays out in a live setting.

What's the thoughts on the Israel song. The controversy and the boycott of Eurovision....

[@Novympia]

[@blakesheffield142]

Thank you 💘😘

[@ecenbt]

I think there's a good chance that Israel won't join this year, and these lyric approval thing is just taking steps to make it look like they've been disqualified due to competition rules, but it's just very cowardly. I wish Ebu would grow a spine and apply the rules that they themselves set last year with Russia. This whole thing really turned me off of Eurovision and I was a huge fan

[@poertjt2]

Why does people keep saying it's a strong year? I really don't see it - can hardly put up a top 10 at this moment 🤨

[@Novympia]

Guess it's all down to personal taste - I have a top 15 at the moment that I really like! 💕

[@johnfrancismaglinchey4192]

What’s the point of us waiting for your reaction,,,,when you’ve heard it already.

[@Novympia]

To hear our analysis and commentary on the song? It's impossible for us to avoid every entry before we react to them. Our upcoming reaction videos for Austria, Netherlands and Cyprus are all blind reactions though so look out for those 💕

[@devinecaesar]

For me the problem with this song is that it uses silence to try and build tension and while that works in a recording you can't use silence in an arena when performing, it's never impactful because there's never complete silence in an arena for you to hear that. I don't think this will translate on stage, "quiet" songs don't do well at Eurovision, I wouldn't say it's dirge, there is power and impact to it but I don't think that will come across live

[@lelb1972]

Again to me this sounds like an Imagine Dragons type song. His voice is lovely and as you say the rasp isn't so gruff it sounds bad. The only thing that draws it back for me is the repetition of the words "Before the parties over". I think the whole structure of the song veers from the norm of verse chorus verse chorus middle chorus and that's what is putting some people off. It's in my Top 10 but not Top 5

[@christianj5950]

The song's fine, but I don't know about the visuals. Everything about it screams "I want to be Bowie meets Loreen, I want to be an art hoe poser without really adding anything interesting to the conversation", which feels a bit tired. It'll do GREAT with the jury, its the perfect pandering mix of 'classic' references (ie Bowie) with "modern" sensibilities, which the jury loves even more than they love ballads, but its not for me.
