Killia Sepsis 💀

[@mariarucci78]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexscott5472]

Killya Sepsis. That had me in floods of laughter. And surely it's a great drag name....?

[@linn469]

omg, SUCH a good drag name!

[@tomicolex]

Less than a minute in, Nurse Lymp diligently spots the early signs of sepsis. Grateful as always for our ladies in STEM.

[@alanbudde8560]

"Well cut that" Narrator: they will not in fact cut that 🤣

[@NachoNachoAU]

Shoutout to our girl celia capsize Silicosis! Love your videos keep them coming

[@flopjul3022]

its scitosis

[@ohlord7043]

This sounds like so many pop R'n'B songs that were in the charts between 2003 and 2005 (think Christina Milian or Mariah Carey in her 'Emancipation of Mimi' era). Whether that makes it retro or just very dated is a question only the scholars in the Oxford Philosophy Department can answer - who will doubtlessly be watching.

[@shroomyesc]

Surely if they were _trying_ to win, they wouldn't have shopped a song for Silia that was already rejected by other broadcasters.

[@kevanmcdougallmph]

that part.

[@lisalovespie5626]

we need a 'sick bitchhhh' ad lib

Love Cyprus this year

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

4:24 Thank you! Finally someone who did his research and didn't just throw a flat evaluation! 🙏🏻

Living for Nova’s sweater

[@crow22zero]

Your reactions are the best guys ❤️❤️❤️

[@OddCoupleReacts]

Did I miss your reaction to Luxembourg? It's constantly at the bottom of your list and I want to know why 🤣

[@ermin.98]

I am glad they don't give space to Luxembourg here. To me personally, the song itself is objectively not that bad, but Tali dedicated the song "to her brother who is in IDF" means she dedicated it to the country which is committing war crimes.

[@OddCoupleReacts]

@@ermin.98 I was unaware of that connection. I understand why they have chosen not to platform it

[@gresdian]

@@OddCoupleReacts Nova has stated on Twitter that they won't film a reaction to Azerbaijan, Israel and Luxembourg for reasons you could imagine

[@rortegagc8981]

Malta is sending something very similar!

[@pcon71]

In which Semi thorough?

[@Relevart9169]

NOT Killia Sepsis omg Lymp 😭😭

[@RussellKlischer]

I’ve ranked this 15th, but I’m ranking the songs solely based on how much I like them/how much I want to listen to them. Stan Killia Sepsis

[@jorgxafonso]

1:52 chameleon is from malta 😭

[@Novympia]

Omg yes 😂 oopsie

[@mariarucci78]

I love chameleon it was a great song ❤

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

Believe me, this year there is no other like it Cyprus! You will remember me on May! Hold your horses until then! 😉

[@kieranedmunds2936]

KILLIA SEPSIS 😭😭😭 Anyway.... my guilty pleasure, my 2nd place to Austria currently

[@kevanmcdougallmph]

Everytime I hear the opening line I think of the meme with the girl crying while singing "Waking up in the morning. Thinking about so many things." 😭

[@puffyping]

excited for your reaction to greece

[@bassetts1899]

YES omg the greek entry is amazing this year. na mas feri oti thelei meta-ta-ta-ta 🇬🇷🔥

[@dant697]

Fuego and La La Love are some of the best Eurovision songs to come from Cyprus. They always release the most pop girly anthems

[@cuddleemporium]

Andrew was one of my favorite songs from last year and I still listen to it. I didn't love this one, but I thought it was okay. This just seemed like a throw away pop song you'd hear on the radio.

[@kate3742]

The MVP women in STEM are back at it again 👌😂

[@1989hannahruth]

Are you going to review the final event? (obviously not on the big night). I'm really enjoying these reviews x

[@kixmrm]

you know this is a nova edit because of the clip of britney spears 👀

[@cashonly8385]

Uhhh! THIS. Is what I’ve been needing. It’s such a good pair of Christian Louboutin’s. They fit, they make me feel like “that bitch”, it purrs my kitty. I’m here for it!

[@dominictaylor2985]

Love Novas necklace, where is it from? 😍

[@prettynsleepy1073]

Is it my migraine medicine or is the audio off track with the video???? Love you girls. Migraines won’t stop me from watching this.

[@mcsexyinc]

I want to see staging around the theme of Cynthia Nixon not enjoying a salad...then dancing

[@kevanmcdougallmph]

This is a classic song that I will rank low because of lack of depth and originality but can be a deserved Q because she'll eat on stage and it's a serviceable enough song to be a vehicle for that.

[@mystic_mimi21]

It is feeling a little dated now, very 2014 summer vibes. I love a girly bop but can we get a different sound, or a nostalgic sound like a y2k pop vibe.

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

4:45 Guys its not about her the videoclip! Its about people who are in toxic relationships either love or families, about body shaming, bullying and other similar violence subjects, people usually don't talk about it! And after a sign let say, the liberation comes!

[@Eum67]

I also love these type of songs. Why not many countries send them? My reason why I love Eurovision

[@dobwok236]

Chameleon was Malta (in 2019) 😊

[@TributeOfDistrict13]

What is wrong with Luxembourg? What did they do? What did I miss?? 😮

[@constantine6939]

Chameleon was Malta's 2019 song, not Cyprus 💀💀💀

[@Novympia]

Yes you're right 😂

[@rickknown5635]

I think Poland will go more artistic way, so direct competitors for this will be Malta and Luxembourg

[@someothername7886]

If they both qualify, this and Malta are going to cannibalize each other in my opinion

[@pcon71]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Dragonfighter2013]

Silia can dance and sing, so I think she'll qualify. While Luxembourg is pretty much "Go girl, give us nothing"

[@tommy88488]

sounds like it would be in an ad for littlewoods

[@gaberaph]

Silia is a total triple threat! The reason she was walking a lot in the video (I feel) is she’s teasing us, and she’s gonna bring it with power on the night and unleash the dancer within 😂 have high hopes for this, but then Greece release their song last night, and it’s good! Like really good! So happy my country is back on form after last year!

[@queenyblahblah]

Considering the review part of this video: I’m going to sound totally ridiculous and i feel like i’ve missed a big chunk of information from the fandom somewhere, What are the nefarious reasons that people will vote for Luxembourg? Is it because they’re a returning country so people will vote for them without thinking? (Genuine Question)

[@Novympia]

Unfortunately due to Tali's Israeli heritage, Israel and its supporters have claimed her as a sort of second entry for Israel.

[@queenyblahblah]

@@Novympiaah ok. had no idea!

[@christinakyleloves]

🩷🩵💜💚🖤

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

4:13 No, its not the same producer! I can ensure you! Look the name Dimitris Kontopoulos!

[@gumdropgardens]

Reminds me tons of Selena Gomez's Same Old Love

[@alexscott5472]

Wait till you hear Greece. It's not what you're expecting (but it's brilliant).

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

4:55 Ok! We got it! You don't like the repeat of the recipe! I wonder if the same attitude was if another country in the tsble... 🤔

[@ll-cb3py]

7:23 damn and none for malta lol

[@vejoka]

Wasnt chameleon malta, not cyprus?

[@Novympia]

It was Malta yes don't mind us 🥴

[@mariarucci78]

Malta Malta, I loved it❤

[@pcon71]

So is it gonna be a Mediterranean massacre between Malta and Cyprus?

[@mynameisbartosz8796]

will you react to Bambie's music video?❤❤❤

[@Novympia]

Probably not, but we have seen it and it is very good! 💕

[@scorpioninpink]

​@@NovympiaHow about the Titan from Albania?

[@ohlord7043]

Bambie's video was like the Glasgow 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' on edibles.

[@scorpioninpink]

I commented about this in the original video and I will comment this again. Even how many times I hear this song, I cannot remember the beat and rhythm AT ALL. I don't remember the lyrics at all and this is AFTER IMMEDIATELY LISTENING TO IT. It is too generic. Compare that to Greece which immediately grabs you whether you like it or hate it. Also, thank you for explaining why you don't want to review Luxembourg.

[@alanbudde8560]

Very generic

[@TheseNights984]

Is it true that this was supposed to be Greece’s song last year? I swear I saw that on Reddit…

[@mathlexx]

and Russia's the year before.

[@scorpioninpink]

This song should have remained in the drawing board because it is not good at all.

[@shroomyesc]

It wasn't "supposed" to be Greece's song, but it was on the shortlist in the internal selection. The writers shopped it around to Cyprus I guess.

[@Sonnen_Licht]

I still don't know what the fuck is going on in a Cyprus music video. Two years in a row.

[@teddytete.mp3]

It's just a shame cause this was supposed to be the greek entry last year and in 2023 it would've made top 5 but this year the competition is SO STRONG that it might not even qualify... That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it tho

[@mathlexx]

it will surely qualify.

[@Ms.ONeill001]

This is probably the first entry this year I really like. Her outfit is on point. She's what I expect from a pop diva.

[@Chappy523]

Killia Sepsis ... no relation to Ketosis, right?

[@tjarkhillu9706]

KillYa Sepsiss(ta) dippin, and y’all trippin’ .

[@taylorukmar2192]

When the hell are we getting Australia

[@Novympia]

When the hell we get to it 🙃

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

What exactly "new" are you searching for in this or in the Eurovision Song Contest in general? Its a girly pop dance song! What new can be done? She is only 17! Would you like her to sing opera maybe?

[@JustB3NJI]

I like it, but I'll make a prediction it will bomb live.

[@MM-tz2bs]

Why do you guys hate Luxembourg? I realized you didnt even put up the video for Luxembourg 😂 so I am confused EDIT: I put this before watching this video til the end and you explain lol Okay, shame. i enjoy Luxembourg.. but I live here and I attended the national final so I am biased maybe hahah

[@goonerbean4680]

Prefer Luxembourg 😂 ,17th for me

[@TheFloon]

This one is just so basic that I feel like there's nothing to latch onto. It's a typical Cyprus girlbop that's been watered down to the point there's no personality left. I've loved most of Cyprus' recent stuff, so I'm not trying to be snooty or anything about this, but it's just a shiny pile of nothing.

[@Hydraas]

I've found this really hard to get into, it's so generic and not special. It started out around 20th but kept dropping because I kept not being able to remember the melody. It is currently second last for me

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

This is just standard Balkan pop for me. It could be Elena fourera, galena or Jelena Karlusa.

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

11:31 Luxembourg has nothing to do with what Cyprus has to offer. Luxembourg is more common than Cyprus.

[@teddytete.mp3]

Chameleon was malta lmfao

[@Dashew]

Nefarious votes for Luxembourg? What do you mean?

[@Novympia]

Unfortunately due to Tali's Israeli heritage, Israel and its supporters have claimed her as a sort of second entry for Israel.

[@Dashew]

@@Novympia I see, thanks! The other direction is problematic too. She doesn't deserve to be discriminated against because she is Israeli.

[@Novympia]

@@Dashew of course! There is more to this story though, and a lot of further speculation and rumours surrounding Israel's involvement in Luxembourg's entry this year. For us at least, we felt uncomfortable when Tali dedicated her national final win to her brother who is currently serving in the IDF. With a song called "Fighter" and lyrics about going forth and "conquering" it's easy to see why people are questioning Luxembourg's entry this year. There are further rumours and allegations less easy to verify, but this dedication creates a context for the song that we feel may be breaking the rules of the competition. So we've decided not to react to the song for now.

[@Dashew]

​@@Novympia Thanks for the explanation! In all likelihood her brother doesn't have a say in whether he is in the IDF or not, since IDF is compulsory in Israel. I'll try to look up the other allegations.

[@Novympia]

A song with these lyrics does not need to be dedicated to him however. At best, Tali is ignorant and naive in this situation, at worst she's complicit to something larger. It's a messy situation that's created a large amount of hysteria online and so for now we'd rather not cover Luxembourg on our channel.

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

8:47 you are so wrong!

[@doenietzo]

This song gave us nothing

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

Determine "winning material"! What is that in an entry?

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

Determine "fresh" please! Don't just use words just to minimise this entry! She is only 17 for God sake! What fresh do you wsnt? Where?

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

10:10 this is rediculous. Bad taste.

[@davidcp8196]

KONTOPOULOS who Is the composer of the song was convicted for plagiarism in 2023 by the Greek Supreme Court. Furthermore, his song (LIAR) was rejected by Greece in 2023 and by Russia in 2021 so it is a HARD NO from EUROPE ... and 0 POINTS to CYPRUS!👎👎

[@Michi-R10]

Killia Sepsis-best part of this video. About song-well......Nice,easy, and trashy girl pop.Nothing special. I think noone will pick up phones for that,apart of Greeks of course....

[@A.Man.From.Cyprus]

Why noone will pick up the phone to vote? Because you say so? Really?

[@antonhaq3503]

What do Novympia think of Israel being included despite committing genocide. 25,000 deaths and making Gaza the most dangerous place in the world for children. Surely this shouldn't be ignored, Russia was banned for Ukrainian genocide. Do Eurovision only care when white Europeans are being butchered? This is too important to be ignored, I enjoy Eurovision but this issue really has spoiled the whole thing for many of us.

[@jachna3898]

check the community tab

[@Novympia]

We've spoken about this in our community tab and included a link to a statement in the description of all of our Eurovision reaction videos. If you follow us on Twitter too you will see we have been pretty vocal about this. We're currently having a discussion about the release of Israel's entry so may have more to say on the topic in the next few days. But please at least make the effort to read a video description before immediately assuming the worst of us.

[@scaryclarey654]

I really like this one. My second fave so far. So glad you've pulled out all the stops with Eurovision content this year. I had no interest before since I live in the States. But I'm really invested in the competition now and enjoy your insights and info! 🩷🖤

[@hey_loranda]

What nefarious reasons are they talking about for luxemburg? Can anyone explain?

[@Novympia]

Multiple Israeli media outlets have laid claim to Tali as a second Israeli entry due to her heritage.
