Hello ,as you are a classical musician there is a band and singer you just must know about and do a reaction to ,they are from Finland but their lead vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch ,Nigtwish is a Symphonic Metal band , the Symphony elements are from the London Philharmonic almost all songs are written and composed by the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, they are the most reacted to band on YT with an average of 30 reactions a day, their masterpiece Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 is also the most reacted to performance ever on YT, its' utterly unique and epic , possibly unlike anything you have heard or seen before, hope you will give it a go, be fore warned tho your channel will be swarmed by one of the biggest fan bases's on YT and you just may get addicted to this amazing band and singer, cheers NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) : Wacken 2013 best link ends in BAVo

Thank you for your rating! It's always a pleasure listening to your well explained comments. Here's my personal Top 10: 1. Norway (Just love the build up and its passionate, extatic nature) 2. Switzerland (great mix of genres, all really well performed, great message as well) 3. Italy (I really like, how she shows, that a pop song doesn't need to be standardized and can have lots of variety. Great vocals as well and I love her attitude and charisma) 4. Armenia (As you said, it's uplifting, joyful. It will be quite a highlight in the show) 5. Croatia (Fun and energetic song with good lyrics as well. I can see why it's a favorite of the public) 6. Serbia (Really beautiful song, that will stand out between all the loud entries. I hope it will be rewarded) 7. Portugal (That song grew a lot on me, although it always let's me cry when listening to it. I guess a have a sweet spot for such melancholy) 8. Belgium (The last minute is great. maybe the first half coud have benefitted from a bit more variety) 9. Estonia (Fun and catchy song. Coul maybe have benefited from some more build-up or variety) 10. Ukraine (Great vocals and rap. The song just lacks a highlight towards the end. Maybe the staging can compensate that. It looks pretty epic)

Anyone who has in their lyrics "meow cat please meow back" shouldn't be considered a winner, let's be fucking real. Every day I keep realise how much that song is actually bad. People keep compare it to Kaarija, and soon they gonna say "Kaarija lost last year so Lasagna gotta win this year", so here you go, I'm gonna compare it too. That is not half as good as "Cha Cha Cha", weak production, exceptionally bad mixing, terrible lyrics (the "rim tim tagi dim" just for the sake of being catchy etc), the meowing community makes it even fucking worse, and let's not forget the lad CANNOT SING. The live DORA performance just picks it up out of the shit and dress this into fun to watch show with classic thing of having signature "dance"(?) move (that crouch with hand slams and kinda headbanging to the sides) and odd and still surprising for Eurovision rural elements like washing clothes or whatever was happening back there in DORA performance (casus of extremely pretentious Konstrakta e.g.). Disappointing & disgraceful that this is the contender to win Eurovision but well, have it your way, Europe. The contest will be mocked of having shit & kitschy music even more. I have no issues to other genres (quite the contrary), and if the "shout screaming" is a referrence to Norway, then let me tell you that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Agree in general and specially about the winner. As it's more fun to discuss the differences of opinion: Latvia - sorry but I think we have heard this before. He sings very well but so does the French; Georgia - it's greatly performed but no matter the instrumentation, it's just a good pop song. Those lyrics mean very little; Armenia - it's fun for half of the song, then it gets repetitive. With the added thing of only being 2:30 mins. Greece is miles better in its mix of genres and not getting too repetitive. Ps: thanks for my country's14th place. I would take that now lol

With due respect...Slimane 24th is an insult to his talent. He's undoubtedly one of the top singers of this edition, and Mon amour is simple but powerful, clearly better than the majority of this year's songs. Probably not strong enough to win, but with a good performance, surely it SHOULD be Top10 material. ⭐ Talking about other entries...Italy, Croatia and Norway are high in my ranking too.

If this was the "French ballad contest of 2024" I'm sure Slimane would be number 1 🎉

Belgium has grown off me a bit (was also my #1) but it’s so disrespected in the fandom. So happy it’s valued here. It’s very clear this fanbase feels vindictive against anything that’s not a “girl bop” and I’m sick of how sassy they think they feel when they wish that this song gets last place. Like why. Happened last year with Watergun too. There’s a difference between not liking a song and then actively “praying for its downfall”… way to yuck other people’s yum - lol.

Those people are chronically online and apart of the stanning culture, anyone who isn’t apart of that realises how silly and stupid they are. People get so invested and irrational just enjoy and support what you like. Whilst Belgium is without a doubt my number one song, i do think the end package could potentially end up mid despite being a winning song imo.

@@Madam-Padam Oh absolutely. The stench of joblessness and lack of personality can’t be mistaken. I hate how the fanbase for this contest has been getting increasingly catty and tied to stan culture as the years go by. Eurovision is not just for them, it’s for everyone. No wonder people who aren’t in on these things are turning away from the contest year by year. I know this sounds cringeworthy but stan culture has done wonders for weirdos who don’t dare go in real life and act the garbage way they act behind these pfps.

@@UsernameUsername0000 i absolutely loathe the Netherlands song this year doesn’t mean i’m gonna go on twitter be a little bitch about it, i just press skip on the eurovision playlist and move on. if it does well i would understand completely why even though i’m not ecstatic about it. These people fighting over this like they feel “threatened” by anything else that a lot of people seem to like, these artists doesn’t even know you lol. It’s the same people who tried to downgrade Loreen and just show there copium, it’s factually incorrect to claim the winner isn’t deserved.

I liked the song itself (still do), but the live performance really turned me off, and I think it deserved its result - I also don’t understand the fandom’s obsession with girlbops, either, the only one I liked this year was Georgia (and Italy and Greece if those count, but I personally wouldn’t count them)

Hi Rachel, immediately clicked on your video as soon as it came up in my feed. Lovely plushy, hope you had fun in Japan! Looking forward to the video with your sister, although my taste in music doesn't match with yours or hers. Thank you for rating Joost as high as you did. I do hope that you are right about Bambie thug qualifying, i NEED that song in the final.

How funny. As a Belgian I only know the guy who sings / performs our song is Musti, but I really don't know the song. But Holland ... Joost Klein is absolutely the winner of this songfestival. Everyone likes the song and searches for his performances online. Who has won officially this year? Does anyone remembers after 2 weeks?

The only one I really don't like is Finland and i got mixed feeling about Netherlands and Iceland. This is really good year and i can't wait for semi's to start

Nice list, by the way! I'll say it's somewhat different from my list, I unbelievably put Malta in my top 10. Not usually my genre, but I find that one particularly fun to listen to. Other than that it's somewhat similar to mine. Though I definitely didn't try to judge by different categories! Very much just how I felt listening to them. Good video :)

@eddielil348 but isn't it supposed to be a song that represents a country? How can't it be a typical French song when it comes from France. I just think that people have a problem with French representatives because they are being French. When they will be doing something else, it will be bad too.. Why don't we just appreciate how incredible a singer Slimane is ? Instead of complaining, how Frenchy does it sound?

@@monika7811 I think the issue honestly is that this doesn't really represent France as it is now. I love Slimane as an artist, and he's a top guy too, but this song is just a letdown for me (also, I live in a French speaking environment and used to live in France). If you consider that Hera Bjork's song, for example, for UK people is considered dated, then the equivalent for France would be Mon Amour to some extent. Don't get me wrong, I still think it will do very well and people will love it, but I consider it more of a cliche of France than an actual representation of France today.
