Vocal Coach Reacts to Davina Michelle 'The Power of Water' First Semi Final Eurovision 2021

[@user-uv5ib9mj6b]

The Netherlands blew me away with the production. Is it this level every year ? Im not a Eurovision follower. My girlfriend is glued to it every year and to be fair sure why not, it’s all good fun and makes people happy. I remember hearing the song by the NL the year they won and thinking wow that’s going to win and be a huge international success. Seeing the NL getting to host was mind blowing. The presenters, ( Nikkie is a star, she has to get a Netflix show ). The talent out of the NL though WOW, Davina, Glennis, Duncan and those presenters could SING. The Eurovision was better presented than any musical show in such a long time. Bravo to all, much love to the NL. Please win and host again 💪🏻

[@lieked5903]

The production differs depending on how much a country is willing to spend. The Netherlands has helped a lot of other hosting countries with their staging so of course they had to show off in their home territory. The augmented reality with the moon in Spains performance and the bridge in Glennis Graces and Afrojacks interval act was a new feature they brought in this year.

[@jetfromholland4533]

How nice of you to say this! This years’ Eurovision was an amazing rendition indeed. Better than ever.

[@thatrandomgirl4574]

@@lieked5903 the moon was acctually real it was a blow up ball

[@robbert89rl]

It had a clear technical upgrade this year, true. Yet, it doesn't HAVE to be like that every year. If a succesor decides to make an intimate living room show out of it, it could have its charm as well. But well done, the Netherlands. It was stunning!

[@justinn9342]

in my opinion, this was the best performance in the first semi finale 😎

[@adamcarleton2477]

The Netherlands wanted to show that they could have won this again if they wanted to

[@justinn9342]

@@adamcarleton2477 Lol true

[@Daemonicuss]

We would have won 😉, but instead we send some lame song!

[@paliewallie]

This would've easily up there with this year's winner Italy, France, and Switzerland as best performance. Davina Michelle is just something else

[@karinroestful]

I would Like to say, Madonna eat your heart out. We have the best live acts in the World.

[@MrAdamoost]

HVC, thank you so much for the lovely response. Can you imagine how proud we are in the Netherlands about how the Songvestival is organized. With an audience and a fantastic performance by Davina. Madonna eat your heart out

[@HonestVocalCoach]

You're so welcome! Absolutely. X

[@vsstud]

Spectacular! Dutch did AMAZING job!!!

[@makkie211175]

At a very...very long time i thought Riverdance was the most memorable interval act of ESC all time, untill i saw this masterpeace just in the semi finals. This is Grand Final material and it is the best i have ever seen. Riverdance comes second now, Justin Timberlake Thirth.

[@ingridwatsup9671]

I’d put them on an equal 1st cause they are not comparable!

[@drAgonheart580]

This is why i love you , professional reaction but not too shy to let emotions run through

[@Dannydeplus]

I saw a lot of reaction videos of you, but I never saw you emotional after a reaction.. So beautiful to see that! Because that means it must be a wonderful performance! You really really like Davina Michelle, I can see it in your eyes haha.. very nice! Me as a Dutchman feels very proud of our Dutch singers specially Davina Michelle, she is so so good! Thanks for your reaction!

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Thank you for watching!

[@marrx3884]

I swear Eurovision would have been hosted by Holland again if she was the one who was representing Holland.

[@okidoki878]

That why we send a broccoli song it’s costing to much

[@SigridAnderson]

[@ingridwatsup9671]

Cost 50 million euro this time, so give us dutch time to save up again.

[@10freekie2]

This is one of the best performances I’ve seen! But also vocally technically, so in tune, the vibrato so powerful.

[@l.l.8000]

For me she was the real winner of the show And yesterday she presents her gold single for the song

[@erik4236]

Loved your reaction and definitely is the best interval act ever. The performance had everything!

[@KarinRoest]

Best interval act EVER. We Dutchies are good at this. 😊

[@dilioni]

I love your heart felt reaction. It got to you :). I totally understand because it simply was a brilliant performance in any sense. The singing was superb, the choreography , the stage, the lights, the video parts. it all just fitted perfectly and made for a emotion evoking experience. Certainly one of the best, if not THE best interval performance at Eurovision of all time

[@manuelfernandezdiaz179]

Thank you i asked for this you are not going to regret this

[@AbBy-uc1de]

I don’t know if someone said it yet but the water refers to The Netherlands bc its like below sea level and stuff its a big part of the country. So clever

[@digitool5944]

the song is actually called Sweet Water, the act is called The Power of Water

Thank you!!!!! Proud Dutchie here... we’re a small country but we have a lot of surprises!

I have been waiting for the reaction to this! This was by far my favorite act, and shouldve been used in the final!

[@duintje14]

Seen reactions without so much cutting and they are still out there 2 weeks after. Was waiting for your reaction :) ta!

[@Pasunsoprano]

Sometimes at talkshows she is asked to sing a little. Even just sitting at a table she manages to perform at this level.

[@Marber656]

Great singer love her

[@pcraenme]

I think this surpassed Riverdance. And yes, being Dutch I may be a bit biased, but when I saw this performance by Davina and also the visuals, I was blown away, and I have seen live concerts of U2, Madonna and Coldplay. I think it was the highlight of Eurovision 2021. Proud to be Dutch!

[@Lin-kv3ug]

The Netherlands should have sent this performance for the contest. She should have won.

Love it!!!love from Rotterdam ♥️♥️♥️

[@jeronymusv4558]

Lovely to see that this song got to you in a way that you could not listen to it from a technical point of view only. LOL I remember your comment on a live clip of her that she will go big and you recommended her putting a little more effort in her pronounciation of English. I could be wrong - as I am not English - but it seems to me that she is doing so in her songs and covers for some time now. Much obliged if you would give your opinion on that!

[@leteriosims1936]

You're awesome! I enjoy your vids! Keep up the good work🙂

I agree with the emotional part (as with the rest of your comments btw). Actually, the song's title is "Sweet Water" 😉

[@stefanborkos]

This was the best.

[@Nickery1]

as always ... !!! a great and compleet reaction ... thnx !

[@HonestVocalCoach]

Yay! Thanks 😊

[@SuperPassionflower]

I know and respect your professional interpretations and opinions but again - I mentioned it on another occasion- what I do find regrettable is the many times the music is interrupted for lines of comment... is there no other way to go about it?

[@HonestVocalCoach]

I know it is awkward, unfortunately. It is to do with copyright, and how much of video I am aloud to use.

[@macbosch64]

Have you checked out Nightwish with Floor Jansen? You will be amazed. Start with Ghost Love score , wacken 2013 live concert.

[@silsilsilly]

At 4:46 when she sings sweet water there is a little sound that i cant place, its like the sound is shifting, is that a technique?

[@shanellemorgan2157]

U have to do a reaction to her performance for Ukraine, she sang a song she wrote called Wake Up, it is amazing

[@remconet]

I love your videos, and I get the whole having to cut the song up into pieces for copyright part, but like this (very very brief pieces) we as viewers can't really follow you along. Let alone feel the emotion. Yes everybody should watch the entire performance, but as for your video, I'm missing journeying with you. Can't wait for the next video!

[@Chantalicious74]

That was a lot of copyright on your channel.. 😅

[@Henkieboy51]

Love you. You are so funny.

[@janeverse4555]

Georgina, the performance itself is already so short. Why did you skip some parts of the performance in your reaction?

[@HonestVocalCoach]

I have to do this because of copyright, sometimes. Thanks for watching.

[@Korilian13]

Amazing performance and the score's decent, but if it wasn't Davina singing it, no one would take notice of this song. So many talent fails because they don't have great songs to match their talent.

[@pietdegeling4696]

So, like Davina, make your own songs, like this one created by Davina herself.

[@Pasunsoprano]

She wrote it. She also wrote a great song called "Beat me" for the Grand Prix, which unfortunately could not take place. You can look it up. Her songs allow for this kind of performance and of course were written with that goal.

[@thomasschoemans5409]

Yeahh

[@JTF2402]

Was is live? (Contestants must be live) Davina is no contestant, so it could be pre-recorded. I am really bad in hearing the difference lol

[@fab199105]

Too bad you edited it this way. You’re missing out on the performance and half the video is advert. Sorry but you lost me here.

[@hansv.d.hooven5232]

Hey Georgina, this was the best performance i've ever seen In the ESC, but you're the champion of cutting and skipping. Better cut the add out and do the complete clip of Davina. No thumbs or subscribing for this one.. Greetz from the Netherlands.

[@patrikiosvatemanopoulos]

Great vocals. I could do without the cheesy lyrics

[@Daemonicuss]

If my country would have used her and this song, instead of the terrible song they used we would have won again after each other!

[@cobyjetten3370]

Why interupting sooooo much?????

[@louylau100]

I love Davina Michelle. But, excuse to make a sligt wether gentle remarque : you speake A LOT and cut the song very often, IT RUINS YOUR VIDEO. Ok, I get il well, you're a professional vocal coach : so you must be used in your profession to stop your students often to correct them, but I gave up watching your vidéo in the middle. Too many cuts. I like watching professional reactions about song techniques but not an explication "mashup" every 2 minutes. That's a pity because you seem very skilled. Sorry to be a bit critical, but I just wanted to tell you my frustration. What you're doing could be awsome !!!😮 Sorry and best regards from France. Laura.

[@kunalroy6848]

That belting though. Don’t like her diction. Messes with my connection to the song somehow.

[@ivorhensbergen6]

Talking. Talking. Talking. To much. Listen. You talk to much much

[@Kanig94]

Too many pauses

[@sylly1969]

I'm sorry, but this way of reacting, when you skip parts of the number, is really not nice and unnecessary 👎🏼 First and last time I watched.
