Week 91: Eurovision Week 4! 2021 #3 - Gjon's Tears - Tout l'Univers

[@karinseregni221]

People reacting to Eurovision 2021 make me SO happy, this truly was one the best years ever

[@liul]

I agree. So many good songs, I couldn't decide which ones were my favourite.

[@PonchoSaGo]

His voice is one of my favorite voices of all time!!! Not only in eurovision, in the whole universe!!!

[@alextfr1153]

I see what you did there:))

[@susanarodrigues4864]

This was my winner. A masterpiece. You must have to see the videoclip, it´s so good

[@OpalHydra]

There was no eurovision song contest in 2020 bc of corona but here's a list on some of the top songs!!! (it's no real specified order since there was no actual voting) 1-Lithuania: The Roop - On Fire 2-Switzerland: Gjon's Tears - Répondez-moi 3-Iceland: Daði & Gagnamagnið - Think About Things 4-Russia: Little Big - Uno 5- Sweden: The Mamas - Move

[@PPfilmemacher]

Litte Big would probably have become the winner, if the contest had been held Considering how big the music video alone have blown up especially on KZbin month bevor the competition was planned to be held

[@alftuvik3820]

@@PPfilmemacher Based on the fan polls that took place at the time, Iceland seemed likely to win too, Russia and Lithuania also being contenders. Really sad that the year where countries that has never won before were among the favorites to win didn't happen.

[@geralbert]

@@PPfilmemacherthem, Lithuania or Iceland!

[@OpalHydra]

@@geralbert ​ @alftuvik3820 ​ @PPfilmemacher Yeah i just looked at a few "top" lists, thats why i wrote "some of the top songs" since i know there is many good ones that could have won or made it high up in the rankings^^ not just these 5!

[@ramses7489]

Netherlands 2020 would have won again

[@MaCherie92]

I follow Eurovision since 2004 and I was never a ballad type. I heard this and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was brilliant. His song Respondez-Moi from 2020 (the contenst was cancelled) might arguably have been even better and a contender to win.

[@Meradlin]

Yeah, the same. This is not a just boring ballad, truly piece of art

[@liul]

I like epic ballades, I think this is one of them

[@bazzi3473]

He should have won. This song and his voice are everything!

[@mashadz2566]

Bro I swear Euro 2021 is THE BEST nothing is better than Eurovision in 2021 ❤

[@vincentesc]

I've seen him live and honestly he is unbelievably great, his voice is outstanding

[@fenrisulfr8]

There's a soft German-language song that won Eurovision in 1982, if you're interested in how that sounds

[@PPfilmemacher]

But only if there is a version with subtitles You must remember their are still US-Americans, who cN not really grab the concept of „a little bit peace“ and usually not at least entirely appreciate a song without understanding wat is actually the massage or the translation

[@marselzeqiri2084]

Gjon is native Albanian 🇦🇱👍 hugs

[@PPfilmemacher]

Yeahhhhhhh Eurovision content again!!!! Finally something i can looking forward every night the next 5 days coming home after work

[@GalaxyGirl777]

8:55 you did it! Falsetto on point. 👏 I saw Rammstein play live at a festival - they were great, pyrotechnics frigging galore. Can we get a metal week, by the way? I think Mike would crush some picks. 😊

[@nashtags]

Switzerland won in 2021 the Jury's vote. It was recognised as the best song of the whole contest by professionals. 0:58 - Wow, citing Romansh before Italian, I'm impressed ! Well done!

[@SenneW]

"Professionals"... Our country's jury had two members that previously entered the ESC. One ended 19th, the other didn't make it through the semi-final. They make music professionally, yes. But that doesn't make them good jury members.

[@nashtags]

@@SenneW Yeah, I know. The trend is to think the public is always right. But no.

[@machroi]

Gjon is MAGNIFICENT. Check out his other stuff from his album, particularly the video for the song Pure. Guy is a massive film buff too and it shows. Yes I DO love him. 😍😂

[@grahamparks1645]

Die Toten Hosen, Sportfruende Stiller, Xaivier Naidoo(very smooth German singer), Fettes Brot, Tokyo Hotel, Seeed(German reggae), Sido, Silbermond, Valezka, Clueso, Die Fantashen Vier, Glashaus, Grossstadtgefluester, Mark Forster, Deichkind, Die Artze, - lots of great German artists

[@pilarlopez8815]

For sure 2021 was the best eurovision song contest

[@matleeena]

"What's a Rammstein?" :D oh dear

[@adriannana22]

RAMMSTEIN WEEK

[@Tsuliwaensis]

@@adriannana22 the fact that they're rapists and they don't believe there's anything wrong with that doesn't make your brain throw up even a little bit?

[@Martinus74]

Amazing. Powerful. Great voice.

[@germannomarques1786]

He's AMAZING!

[@ehmzed]

8:55 Mike you did it!

[@poolt115]

No for real.... He really did 'did it'.... Impressive 👌

[@saranissen6210]

This was my number two that year(my winner was the actual winner that year), his first entry from 2020 was my winner that year, but sadly the 2020 contest got cancelled because of the covid pandemic, but a lot of the artists from 2020 were selected to represent their respective countries again in 2021 with a new song, and I'm so glad Switzerland chose to send Gjons Tears again, he is an amazing performer.

[@_xander_x]

My dudes! I have compiled a list of Top 5 Alternative songs (recent-ish years*) in case you want a break from doing the straight ranked Top 5 for each year. 5. Under The Ladder by MELOVIN (Ukraine 2018) | Genre: Emo / Pop Rock 4. Hatrið Mun Sigra [transl. Hatred Will Prevail] by Hatari (Iceland 2019) | Genre: Industrial 3. Promise by Voyager (Australia 2023) | Genre: Progressive Rock 2. Dark Side by Blind Channel (Finland 2021) | Genre: Nu Metal 1. Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi (Finland 2006) | Genre: Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Made it a playlist for you too: kzbin.info/aero/PL150w6WMSHX98fixnVUX_xz61mas3F9g7&si=YxKxuA-PYjshTi1B * Eurovision fans will notice a very notable exception from this list, and that's because they placed in the "Top 5" of their year recently, and also crossed-over to the American market, so I think there's a good chance you'll see their performance separately. Doing Top 5's based on genre like this might also give a more broad view of the types of songs that go to Eurovision, since the Top 5 each year are usually very consumer-friendly (always exceptions to this of course).

[@2609israel]

I would switch Ukraine for Georgia 2016, either way nice top 5🎉

[@PPfilmemacher]

I also would highly recommend Aminata’s performance of „Love Injected“ as Latvias competition entrance in 2015 (sadly the song was way ahead of his time back then and got not many points from both public and jury, but would have been extremely successful just 2 or 3 later or even today…

[@_xander_x]

@WeeklyTop5 I forgot to mention that my Top 5 is in order of placement (5 being lowest placement, 1 being highest placement)

[@inkvampyr]

Yes, good picks!!

[@justevaded]

I would argue that 8:40 is a very heady/ head dominant mix. A falsetto usually isn't this powerful, hence it is "false" head voice. He is definitely mixing but since it is such a high note, he can't push/support so much from the chest. Ps: I love the eurovision series. Please do more Eurovision :P

[@valentinablumberg4212]

Никогда не забуду эту финальную минуту, полминуты, подсчёта голосов , когда парень был уверен ,что он побеждает....ээххх😏 Да, это Eurovision 2021, первое после эпидемии, было поразительным💥-- столь эмоций и сюрпризов ❤️‍🔥🇮🇹, прекрасных!!! THANK YOU, PEACE ☮️❕️

[@XanArt21]

That one was great!

[@4lbfer]

2015 they should do the top 10 because that was the best eurovision year by far

[@geralbert]

I think that’s my all time favorite

[@freshlypainted]

It was actually 2nd with the jury vote

[@nahuelconstantine]

Ohhh…. She would have won in the following years. She was too good for Eurovision and people were not ready. Not ready.

[@BethReedus17]

Now that you guys are full on learning about eurovision, here's a list of 5 eurovision performances that for sure will always be remembered -and that you also haven't watched them yet!-! 1. Fairytale - Alexander Rybak 2. Heroes - Mans Zelmerlow the next 3 are basically just pure fun and enjoyment lmao: 3. Allez ola ole - Jessy Matador 4. Run away - Sunstroke project 5. Baila el chiki chiki - Rodolfo Chikilicuatre

[@phueal]

13 years on, I still remember how "Allez Ola Olé" was introduced by Graham Norton on the BBC in 2010. "It's called 'Allez Ola Olé', which is French! For 'Let's go! Ola... Olé.'"

[@JinnMay]

Pink deserves her week. Please for the love of God. 1) Fuckin’ Perfect 2) Just Like A Pill 3) Please Don’t Leave Me 4) Funhouse 5) 90 Days

[@XanArt21]

Would not really listen to this song but I would still give it a 10/10 for the quality act it is. 2021 Eurovision was definitely one of my favorites. I think you guys would like 'The Roop - Discotheque' from that year. Vocally not the most amazing or anything but a very fun performance. I think they came in 8th. 10:32 Who is the dutch artist??? 😊

[@nickrinehart9076]

Eurovision 2020 Week!!! The 2020 Show was cancelled. There’s were the top 5 fan favorites. 5. Norway - Ulrikke -Attention 4. Bulgaria - Victoria - Tears Getting Sober 3. Iceland - Daõi & Gagnamagniõ - Think About Things 2. Switzerland - Gjon’s Tears - Répoundez-moi 1. Lithuania - The Roop - On Fire

[@MarvinVa1cin]

Fam, Keyshia Cole week 🙏🏿: 1. Love 2. (I Just Want It) To Be Over 3. I Changed My Mind 4. Let It Go (ft Missy) 5. I Should’ve Cheated

[@The-Almond-Cafe]

Loved this song and still listen to it ❤️

[@PAUSJOHANNESPAULUS]

Was written by the same guy that wrote arcade that won esf (Duncan Lawrence) for the Netherlands

[@luciaarnaotorrego6852]

If you are going to cointinue down the eurovision road here are some of my personal favourites: 1- fairytale by alexander rybak 2- fuego by eleni foureira 3- arcade by duncan laurence 4- la forza by elina nechayeva 5- soldli by mahmood

[@annalouisa223]

That chest tattoo that Käärijä has is a Rammstein logo.

[@achnix3167]

I think it woulf be cool if you guys closed or opened these weeks with a reaction to the recap of the whole year. To get an idea of all the songs not just the top 5 which honestly aren't always that interesting and always leave out certain countries or underrated entries.

[@EmoBearRights]

About two thirds of the artists in 21 were the ones who were supposed to be in 20 and these included Go_A, Dadi og Gagnamid and this guy - he's orginally from Albania Gjon's Tears is his stage name its because he made grandad cry with pride - hes a sweetheart but when his jury results came in he swore like a trooper in French.

[@santacruz7455]

German is not harsh at all. The problem is that Americans only get their idea of the German language from Hollywood movies were all Germans are Nazi officials ... ( or Rammstein, but this is a metal band who is sarcastically "flirting" with this cliche..

[@PippBucket]

Please 😭 We an need Aaliyah week please 1- Are You That Somebody 2- One In A Million 3- Try Again 4- Rock The Boat 5- More Than A Woman

[@domiiinik4320]

Crazy thing is that it wasn't even his best performance, look up his jury rehearsal performance, it was even better

[@aurelia_11]

As a Dutchie, I'm curious to know which Dutch artist you listen to (10:32) and how you found them?

[@tetama2agani]

honestly I'm not big fan of the song but te message and who it is dedicated to is so touching

Barbara and Maneskin werent competing in 20 though although the guy who would have represented Italy in 20 performed the song he would have competed with in the interval of the first semi final in 22 - it was a moment.

[@namenlos40]

Now you have to do a Top 5 Rammstein.

[@anabltc]

once, when you have time: "Love Love Peace Peace" (interval act 2016) and Polish entry from 2014 (live) 😁

[@annashevchenko6416]

I am so glad you guys are doing more Eurovision, we’re all big fans here in Europe 😀 I’ve been watching Eurovision every year since 2002! So if you want to continue this journey, here’s my suggestion for the next five: 1. Conchita Wurst - Rise like a phoenix, Austria 2014 (winner) 2. Alexander Rybak - Fairytale, Norway 2009 (winner) 3. Lordi - Hard rock Hallelujah , Finland 2006 (winner) 2. Sergei Lazarev - You’re the only one, Russia 2016 ( not actual winner, but it was controversial. And it will blow your mind how they managed to do that things on stage) 1. Duncan Lawrence - Arcade, Netherlands, 2019 (winner) Good luck 😊

[@2609israel]

I think that the Swiss delegation got a missed opportunity with this one, they would’ve kept the style of the MV with the nebulous and rid the arm dance.

[@sav0001]

It was Gjon's decision to do the dance. He also wanted to do a similar thing for the 2020 contest that was cancelled

[@avr7120]

Id love to know what dutch artist the guy on the left is listening to

[@LindaMaricas]

It would seem you're watching top 5....so if you can't show the 5th place position, you should totally sub with 6th position - Finland! :P

Guys, if you are thinking of reacting to a German singer, I highly recommend to react to Helene Fischer, the schlager queen of Germany. I can make a top five of her most iconic songs especially for you, or performances in duet with international artists, so you can enjoy her versatility. She can sing almost any genre. By the way, Mike did it!! I am impressed 😮

[@MisanthropyFerret]

if you`re doing #3 of all contests - try 2016 and 2019 Sergei Lazarev

I love this song, but it is the definition of a song where they overthought the staging, all he needed was a piano and some dramatic lighting, the choreo was not right for the song imo, love him tho

[@norax3212]

This song is pretty nice, but for me bit overated…my favorites from this year were 6th, 5th and first, also 4th was good. This and the next one were bit plah for me in the end, even though they are nice.
