Vocal Coach Analysis: Switzerland x Nemo x The Code Eurovision 2024

NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that I have misgendered Nemo several times throughout the video, my intention was not malicious (as some have started calling it.) It was a genuine mistake, I had no idea that Nemo used They / Them pronouns. I just assumed they were wearing clothes that expressed themselves. At the time of filming I was not aware.
Apologies to those who have been offended, that was obviously not my intention.
I do however talk about the male and female larynx. This is purely from an anatomical standpoint.

[@kamiladankowska5145]

the whole performance was just perfect! Notice that they were on stage alone! No background dancers, no ultra-fancy special effects on the background... just one fabulous person, one platform and just amazing voice and choreography! I'm in love with their voice and personality :)

[@Jsmithsurv]

No ultra fancy effects? Are you talking about Slimane's performance or Nemo's?

[@gavinneedham2013]

The performance actually used secret people in black running on and off the stage to manipulate the disc that imma call background dancers.

[@SLefd]

@@Jsmithsurv Slimane did unforgivable things physically, to appear seductive ;-) I actually suspect he would have conquered the 3rd place if they had kept it more chill and minimalistic.

[@stormerage]

@@gavinneedham2013 No, the platform is remote-controlled, and there's a video showing how the person running it synchronizes it with the choreography and music. The people in black in one of the videos were just for training purposes

there were pre recorded backing vocals added which is so sketchy... and the whole performance made me think of a bratty kid with ADHD having a tantrum...

Honestly, Nemo... I dont know what there is to be suprised about. It was by far the best song not only by ESC-standards, unbelivable combination of musical styles, fantastic lyrics, by far the best stage performance I have seen in a long long time, perferctly delivered with an out-of-this world voice, a grace not only for you or Switzerland, but all of Europe. So- no suprise there.. You deserve every square inch of it.

[@theobenkaya]

Their lyrics are brilliant. they are drawing a resemblance between a binary life and computer programming where everything is defined in 1s and 0s, and in a world where everything defined in gender roles as if you can either be man or woman, and there is very restrictive definition of how to be a woman and man. another metaphor was non binary people being like ammonities, been hidden for centuries but now they are being discovered in all their beauty and glory. their lyrics are also referring the balancing act the life is which is also the metaphor used in their staging with their balancing act in their journey. There are no complicated lines in the lyrics but there is beautiful use of simple phrases. and sometimes less is more to communicate.

[@julian8985]

[@ialf1e]

the lyrics are far from empty but easy to mistake it when u dont know the song its about them discovering theyre nonbinary (breaking the code) ie "i went to hell and back, to find myself on track, i broke the code" referring to the pain and struggles of discovering yourself "between the 0s and 1s, thats where i found my kingdom come" referring to binary numbers and how they are somewhere between that etc etc

I thought the lyrics were obvious metaphors but I am also non-binary so I immediately related

[@laurasteudel8971]

Even without being nonbinary I think nearly everybody can relate to the feeling of being somehow different from others and still being in search of themselves. Everyone thinking otherwise is just repressing their memories of their journey through puberty and the people thinking they just came to this world being the person they are today without having had one single inner struggle in their life are delusional and they have to be pitied, bcs they lack self awareness.

[@NejisMate]

I'm non-binary too but I found the lyrics pretty generic and too repetitive. The metaphors aren't very original either. The singing quality is great, but the lyrics do let the song down.

[@asinisterartist]

@@NejisMate I thought the "kingdom comes" part, being in a Dante-like state metaphor and "between "0" and "1"s" parts metaphores were so good. Using "ammonites" is a good way to describe their lyrics too tho. Poetic to me, there are better ways but still. Rap part's lyrics was generic but those are good I think.

[@raven_claw1975]

She was only talking about the lyrics in the rap part being shallow, which i agree with, it was basically "I'm so excited" said in like 5 different ways. The rest of the lyrics were great though

[@olgaart_dd]

Thank you for the soulful review that leaves very warm feelng and sunny mood! Wish you all the best!

[@ladyofthemasque]

I do have a question for you: Do you think this song shares some similarities to the way Bohemian Rhapsody was structured? To me, it has several "movements" with different expressions in each one's mood, melody, energy, and so forth, like the half-dozen or so sections of BR. Each one is being sung in a specific way, with its own vocal body embracing the emotions and tones contained therein. And just like Freddy Mercury's masterpiece, I think this song showcases Nemo's pure, wide range of vocal and emotive abilities. I really honestly think it has a Bohemian Rhapsody-esque feel to it, even if it's considerably shorter than BR. What do you think?

[@KatarinaBotlóová2007]

I agree !! And I take this as a compliment 😊

I'm in love with this song, I have it on repeat. I know these lyrics are about Gender identity and breaking out of the chains of what society expects you to be but quite honestly as someone who is classed as neurodivergent. These lyrics work for people on the spectrum too. I think this is why the song resonate with me so much.

[@roddo1955]

I'm on the spectrum and i find the lyrics to be very thick on the nose. When somebody tries very hard to be artful, it comes off as manufactured. A true lyricist knows how invoke emotion through description. You have to 'show' emotion. Even as a writer . You don't 'tell' emotion. Being neurodivergent has nothing to do with it. Different people have different opinions. You have yours. It's not some special neurodivergent power to like simple lyrics that tell the story, point by point. I myself prefer the styles of Lady Gaga. Her lyrics are seeped in metaphor to evoke emotion without literally spelling it out for you. Nemo is easy accessible. It requires very little thought to know what he means. Because the lyrics speak for themselves. Nothing wrong with that. Kind regards: someone with autism

[@kieronallsop8855]

Hey, just found your video! Amazing reaction. A lot of people aren't really explaining what the rap is about: In the music video, nemo goes through multiple identities. They found themselves rapping during some point of their life and so that part represents it. If you listen to the lyrics of the rap, "Who decides what's wrong and right", it's another way of saying "Who decides who I am? And Who should decide what is right or wrong for me"? That's when nemo starts realizing who they are as a person. Hopefully this was helpful!

[@77leofi]

We all might use the incorrect pronoum at some point in our lives. And when we are, hopefully politely, corrected, we should respect that choice. While doing this video the creator simply didn't know this, and has already changed the pronoum in the thumbnail for "they". Thank you Zoe for that! ❤ As for the lyrics, I've seen this actually before with vocal analysts: They are more focused on the singing that lyrics are being treated bit of secondary issue. (Unless talking about pronouncing some words.) All and all it was a true pleasure to watch someone getting so excited about the performance. 😊

[@theterriblemonarch]

the lyrics in the rap segment aren't really "empty", they're singing about how exhilarating and freeing it is to know and be yourself, how being non-binary inherently makes you a part of something bigger because some people will always try to turn your existence into a political debate. furthering this idea of being a part of something greater is the fact that Nemo used their win to get in contact with government officials about making a legally recognised non binary gender!! (because obviously it looks bad for a country to praise an absolutely amazing performer who won for their country while not legally recognising them lol) ❤❤

[@jijitters]

A lot of people already jumped to push back on your comment about the lyrics, but I would like to add something: I think it would be really important to listen to Nemo's song This Body. It is sort of like the "before" if The Code is their "after." This song is lyrically a beautiful follow-up to This Body that shows the journey they went on from being so lost and alone and unaware, to singing about *HOW* they came out of that journey on this side by breaking the code they were trying to force themselves to live by. I also love the 'binary' metaphor, it's super cute and creatively woven into the story of the song. The rap is probably the least personal bit of it, but I just cannot hear the creativity and meaning and journey in this song and see the lyrics as empty at all.

For those harping on Zoe for her slight criticism of the lyrics, I'll quote one of the best wordsmiths in the past decades Terry Pratchett: Personal is not the same as important. Just because the song is personal doesn't make the lyrics special, they are pretty standard, heck, even the metaphore is really on the nose considering they call it non binary based on programming. So chill. The performance is still fantastic.

[@pokezod7832]

Exactly. I'm non-binary but I found the lyrics pretty generic and too repetitive. The metaphors aren't very original either. The singing itself is great and the spinning table is cool, but the lyrics do let the song down.

I still disagree with you. The lyrics are very creative.

Great video, love how moved you become when singers give their best! ❤ To those who think it's important to argue about pronouns then to praise a male voice with a great range: It IS quite important if they're born as a biological male or female when talking about singing and voice range. I think it's better that they're called "he" and get praise for the incredible voice range then arguing about pronouns. This is really not as impressive for someone that's born as a female. They can call themselves whatever they want but you can never force other people to perceive you as something that you've decided. Every human being got their own right to describe their reality.

Hi! I read as many of the comments as I can, however I get about 500 a day 🙈. I genuinely didn't see them about Neo using they them. I have since been educated. It was an honest mistake.

[@victoria7t]

@ZoeStibiVocalCoach you actually said he many times in this video. It is just mattered with he/ him and that is why I can't repost this unless I want to offend my non-binary friends and even the non-binary people I work with at a charity I volunteer four. If it was just once or twice even my most sensitive non-binary friend would be accepting and understanding of it. I totally get that it was an honest mistake but it does make this particular video that otherwise has some very intelligent points made highly unshakable in certain communities. Not saying anything negative against you. We are all naive about something at practically every point in our lives so I totally get it. Just I know that some in the non-binary community because of friends I have and the work I do in a charity are still highly sensitive to being misgendered because maybe it wasn't too long ago that they left a very traumatic situation where they were physically, mentally, and vocally abused simply because of who they are, or maybe they are still in that situation, or maybe they've been out of that situation for a while but still haven't managed to shake the trauma or have managed to find any resources to help them shake the trauma. C for some of us, actually for a lot of us in the gay community, including non-binary people, the bullies that you see in certain places online insulting us and making fun of us or just a very tiny Drop in the Ocean of abuse that we've had to endure all our lives just simply because of The Way We Were born. Many of have spent the great majority of our childhoods and even sometimes into adulthood being physically and mentally and verbally abused by the people that are supposed to be our first and strongest allies and supporters - are families that we were born into. Many of us in the community even get thrown out on the streets when we are still children and disowned when we are still children just because of who we are. So that's why a lot of us might still hold on to a lot of trauma. I myself went through tons of childhood trauma just simply because of who I love. Simply because I'm not straight. However I've managed to be fortunate enough to have the resources to get the therapy I needed so stuff like people making innocent mistakes won't send me into a pdsd trigger anymore. But some still have not made it to that point yet and that's why getting the correct gender is so super important. An honest innocent mistake is an honest innocent mistake and that's all amazing and wonderful when you can get somebody that can learn from their mistakes and is willing to learn from the mistakes so kudos to you for that because even though it seems like a simple thing that you said I made a mistake, to people still struggling with their trauma it is a very big deal that you step forward and admitted it. From my non-binary friends and the non-binary people I help in the charity of volunteer at thank you for that!

You should watch the performance Loreen did this year too!🥳

[@nathalievaillant5842]

Good talks but to much stop on this video ! We're agreed both : c'était absolument trop génial ! Un grand moment de chant lyrique, de rap et de chanson-balade* HE WAS THE VERY BEST yes and also Ukrainia so strong message... and Croatia, super good fun song and super light for all of us in Europe ! And by the way, what did you think about Slimane, our French lover... oups singer 😅

[@henrikengebratt6841]

Would be interesting to see you react to Loreen’s interval act with her new song ”Forever” 😊

[@BEMINE730]

her performance was perfectly done...but I'm here for the sublime teacher 🤓😍🥰

[@Pr1ck4chu]

Btw, would love to see you react to Finland ("No rules" - Windows 95 Man), both the singers (his name is Henri, he's one of the writers of the song) voice and range and the overall stage performance. The performance from the ESC finale is the best one! I love that song and think that the performance is the best one, it brought so much joy. Have seen it over and over again after the finale ❤ I also love the song, it brings so much nostalgia for us who was growing up in the 90's. Would also love to see you react to mine and the other viewers favourite, Croatias star Baby Lasagna. Thanks for a great channel, as a schooled classical singer I still get to learn a lot! Love from Sweden ❤

Sorry coach in my explanation I did forgot to tell you that the interjection "Whoa-oh-oh" refers to a classic music piece of Mozart but I don't rembember which piece.😞

[@nicoloco1971]

The Queen of the Night aria

[@EllaBeth30]

Can you analyse the Israeli song please?

[@Spathever]

I would like to hear you reaction commentary on Raiven's Veronika, Slovenia's Eurovision entry. Didn't get much points but it's an interesting performance and her singing is quite something.

[@nickinewnham2437]

Please react to Georgia, Their representative, Nutsa, made Georgia qualify for the first time in like 7 years, and she does some intense choreo whilst still having amazing vocals

[@jordanpalmer3968]

Maybe look into what the song is about before commenting on the lyrics being empty in THEIR song

[@uhrreberreht]

Please react to Sertap Erener-"Ask" she is an Eurovision winner Turkey

[@r.p.8906]

wow. the single comment that breaks the heart of many here! I read most of the comments. "empty"? Perhaps you meant something else? But seriously, I am moved by the lyrics more than by the spectacular performance. They are just describing who they are and your response sounds pretty much " you are nobody". This is what they lived through in " hell" , judging by the lyrics ( not empty). BAM! I am not sure if you meant this. Sorry.

[@RedPanda-g1983]

...bla bla bla!....

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Exactly! I meant they were simple, not empty. Bad choice of words. I was expecting more from the lyrics in general, but yes I have been slayed for it 😅

[@sandrah.9251]

Love from 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️

[@nathalievaillant5842]

🤣😂😂 YOU SEE THE LIGHT 😇👌🙏🙏🙏

[@RedPanda-g1983]

....at the the end of the tunnel?!?!?.....oh, come on!....

[@escc33]

you should react to france he was incredible

[@stocksconfidential8862]

Miss Zoe, this is a very deep song about Nemo finding himself and broke the code feeling the freedom of knowing that there was a word for what he "IS" as a human being. That being a non-binary person. The words mean a lot.

[@penglingwhisperer3382]

Please react to Loreen’s interval act from Eurovision. Forever/Tattoo medley. What she does physically is insane.

[@user-eu1tz2vs3y]

Please reaction for Armenia.🥹😍🇦🇲🇦🇲🫶🏻

[@kkpaulina]

Please you NEED to react to IU- good day. Her high notes are CRAZYY also ahn ye eun singing channgwi and the way she plays with her voice 🫨

[@user-cl8sl2nw9o]

Nemo said he had an electric snowboard a few years ago. This clearly helped him keep his balance on this disc

[@DramaQueenMalena]

Skateboard.

[@tookitogo]

@@DramaQueenMalena The movements are absolutely those used in snowboarding, which is an extremely popular winter sport in Switzerland. I’d be extremely surprised if Nemo _hasn’t_ been snowboarding since they were a little kid.

[@DramaQueenMalena]

@tookitogo I'm Swiss too, from Biel. Nemo said in an interview, they had an electric snowboard and that helped them. But you are probably right with the snowboard.

[@DramaQueenMalena]

@tookitogo kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5DSgoNjf6p4Y6Msi=UOK3GN3t0QSzWB21 Start at minute 3:50. Nemo talks about "Longboard fahren" and you see them for two seconds 😅

[@tookitogo]

@@DramaQueenMalena Sure. But it is possible to know how to ride more than one type of board.

[@LeiaBranagh]

I have been obsessed with this performance since it aired. I thought the non binary was obvious because of the attire and they also said the song was entirely about them coming to the realization of their identity and coming out. I found this video fascinating because it helped me break down why i was gravitating towards the performance so much. Also, their wiki says they trained as an opera singer as a child and then they started their career as a rapper. I've only listened to three other songs and this is the only one that showcases their operatic singing. I've always loved fusion of genres in music so this is great. 😁

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I loved it too. I didn't think it was obvious, I just thought they liked to wear dresses. It is so hard these days with assumptions, and I would have expected more grace as it wasn't intentional to misgender. I think the outfit looks fab!. ❤️

[@annabird3460]

Genial

[@terhazza]

Nemo kind of made all the other singers look like slow lumbering dinosaurs.

[@edwinbertilsson7722]

Both Nemo and Bambie are non-binary and uses They/Them. Just so you know! They're both amazing and I LOVE THEM

[@yuridatskiy9870]

As for me, not everything is so clean with the vocals there, good backing

[@maranovicka3929]

Lyrics are perfeckr

[@Papafuss]

Amazing performance! The chorus is idioms making it so infectious. Loving the way he champions his vocal range. 🏆

[@max_3660]

hey don't worry about the misgendering, you didn't know and it's not your fault

[@markekas11]

Come on! The lyrics are empty?? You are not listening. He's telling he's story, and a great hell of a story it is. Please (really) listen to the lyrics. Love your videos. Cheers!

[@dominikkuryo7988]

Please Poland 🇵🇱

[@user-sw2yf3wv7b]

Lyrics empty?!? So please focus on the text and not just the voice.
