In Spain this song is viral hahaha, so many people has created memes and love lyrics. At first I thought like you: meh, it is a generic song with some latino vibes, but as much as I have been listening to it, it becomes most and most memorable XD. In fact, a friend of mine and me we start our phone conversations with "hola mi bebébé" :D. Love to our lovely Romanian siblings ♥
Alexandra!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Romania is not what it used to be …people are more open minded, the young generation changed the whole perception of different sexual orientation being a bad thing therefore acts like this where we see 2 men dance etc are accepted and they are even a winning act as we’ve witnessed. Well done to the young generation !!!
Thank you Alex! I really appreciate this comment as it's informative and respectful! Thank you for giving me context from inside Romania I did not know. That's why I love this channel and reading the comments :-)
Yeah .. no.. The things are changing so freaking slow.. I was also shocked by that dance move. Shocked and fucking ecstatic .. One of the coolest things I’ve seen from Romania on the Eurovision stage. I don’t care much abt the song but just for that dance move this song is a winner for me.
You are so right! I don’t remember many songs that qualified but this one I’ll put every time I would like to lift me up. I don’t care about philosophical songs, I care about the feelings and I want to feel good and this song gives me exactly that vibe; so let’s move!
I've been watching WRS from the beginning of the Romanian selection this year. You should watch his first performances, it changed so much in just a few weeks. The first performance he was not moving much at all, just subtle dances and all alone. The second performance was a big difference, with 2 female dancers and kitchen cloths in their hands, and now the movements have changed a lot again, with 2 female and 2 male dancers. I wonder what will happen on Eurovision. 6 dancers? 😂 Anyway, WRS was my favorite Romanian song from the beginning, so I'm happy he won. The song feels rather dated, but in a good way. It reminds me of Romanian songs from 15 years ago, it feels very nostalgic and I'm here for it!
Hahahaha Markus I am on the bus home from airport and I am listening to the song on a loop haha...had to rewatch m video a few times to check it after some comments and through that I really digged the song...whether it is good for Eurovision...well that is a different question haha
@@markuselias6017 hahahaha well I think so and again I am not saying that to deflect some hate in these comments! I think the staging put me off a bit...that's all :-)
I appreciate the honesty of your reaction. What really gives me confidence in my country Eurovision song and performance for this year is the amazing capacity of this boy WRS and his team to make it better and better each step he takes. (huge improvement in two weeks). This song will grow stronger....revamp, vocal and backing vocal, effects. After all, we all are struggling to be the best version of ourselves each day, so it doesn't matter if this song will qualify or not, will be top 10 or not. It is important to work on it and be happy doing it.
Hey Simona! I watched the previous versions last night and you are absolutely right...the performance has massively improved for this final...exciting to see how it can be improved even more for Turin :-)
Hahahahaha that's the thing...I have listened to this song a few times today since my reaction and I actually like it....hahaha even with some of the lovely comments being thrown my way on this feed haha
He got the best Romanian label behind him, same one as Roxen. He used to be a dancer so we gonna see a way better choreography on stage and I'm sure they are gonna improve the song as well.
I am mostly afraid about his singing live than the staging. Roxen lost because of that so I am really reserved about Romania actually qualifying this year
@@Maia_-nw4px mersi, dar stiu ca a cantat live. Ma refeream doar la faptul ca desi acum a cantat bine, il pot lovi emoțiile cum au lovit o pe roxen. In semifinala si in preselecțiile aratate de tvr a cantat mai mult mirolăit. Inca nu m-a convins complet ca poate duce melodia asa cum a facut-o acum. Inca sunt rezervata. Dar oricum, este una dintre cele mai bune alegeri. Ii urez mult succes 💓
So I kind of love this song now Andrei haha! I mean studio version...not necessarily live! If he is part of a big label lets hope they have the money to make a good music video and give us great staging :-)
It is a song that you want to listen on repeat. I think this is a reason to win. No more drama, let 's enjoy the life with positive music. Strong voice doesn t always matter 😉
Ok so fun fact, in semi final he only had female dancers and one member of the jury told him to add male dancers too cause it would fit well for eurovision. He did. The juror also gave him 12 points in the final 😋
This was most people's third or fourth at the very beginning but there were two songs knocked out, a Gypsy metal rock accordion song called 'Malere' and a Pop song from ARIS that's quite fitting to the Ukrainian situation as it means 'Goodbye' in Russian! However, the system was VERY corrupt, as after a round where the public voted there was a round where the jury eliminated the MAJORITY of the fan favourites. There were VERY FEW good songs left. The polls showed this and a song by Dora called 'Ana' were fan favourites from what was left. The final round was also very corrupt, as the Jury had *5/6* of the vote and the public essentially only had _1/6_ meaning they were just a tiny percentage of the final thing, so it was really juries who picked this. The Jury had many connections to the singers including the singer of 'it's my life' who somehow got knocked out before this final round. In theory, they should have just done an internal selection. However! It's AMAZING to see WRS's journey on this selection. At the start of the process, he was nervous, just stood there, with minimal staging, sung an original version of the song with parts removed and NO dancers. Round by round, they added something and the song actually evolved due to people's feedback. People said to him to add dancers and to dance more during the dance breaks. For the final staging, it was good and there's a final bridge part of the song that really makes the song better than just being repetitive so I think WRS did really well with the song he got. Also, the Romanian language seems very Spanish/latino.
I had not watched the romania national final so when I watched this winning performance I was smiling so much haha defenite guilty pleasure 😅 😍 so fun! Also I needed this joy after my favourite for denmark didn't win and the melodifestivalen semi final and France national final didn't go my way.
Romania has some strong past happy-fobic tendencies and there's plenty of that sort of comments even on the official TV site, so yes, this entry is good from that perspective too. Even though he's doing a Ricky Martin/Pablo Alborán thing in his music videos, for this he was courageous enough to change that narrative...and it's Eurovision, so it might actually help. It's catchy, has gorgeous sexy dancing girls, and he added the guys too and pushed the boundary a bit. It has something for everybody, so it will do well.
Andrei I am worried people don't think I like it haha...this isn't even me saving my back...I really like it...I am just not sure if it is a competitive song for Eurovision! I mean I have listened to it a few times today and I like it....but yeah do not use that as any correct judgment on iwnthis could do at Eurovision haha
@@ShanesEurovisionReview The reactions made me smile, because you've got a little taste of how Latin we really are, especially the women. We do have fiery blood running through our veins, and like the French, Spanish, Portugués, Italians, when we love, we do it with passion, when we fight, we go all in, when we support something, well you kind of seen that one😄.
In music culture this Latin vibes is for LATAM which means America Central and South America because is related with our history and culture, we have nothing related to Romania and we were colonized by Spain, Italy and France so no, they are not.
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Hope it does! This song isn't his best but I appreciate all of his work and creative, original acts- performance in his best! The latest videos/ songs from him makes me think he's "that guy"... Thank you for answearing me, Kudos!
This was one of the first songs people put on their top 50, 30 eurovision clip of 2022 back in january I think. So the hola me bebebe, llamame llamame has been going through my head the last months😆. He has a particular way of singing, barely opening his mouth on the llamame lines, lazy singing. I kind of like this tune even though it’s usually not a song I would be drawn to. It’s catchy. Im glad this one got picked actually! Im sorry you got hate on this video, I always appreciate the honesty.
Hehe. I read the comments you got, so plase don't take to heart some of them. As you can see, Eurovision is a very devisive topic in Romania and you have some people willing to take it to next level every year. It was a very watched show in the past, a tradition in most families, but the passion and the arguments after are still there. Thank you for your time reacting to Romania's entry. All the best to you!
You literally made my day writing this. Thank you Andrei. I am human and make mistakes. Regrettably I don't know everything...but I never ever want to upset anyone so have just been worried today I hae offended people. Never my intention. Thank you for this message...it meant allot to me...more than you can know :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Don't worry about it. You haven't offended. You just got a little spark from the fire that erupts every year after the finalist is chosen. The spirits will settle down and hopefully will all regroup and support WRS. But now, there's still a lot of 'passion' let's call it that will spill towards everyone and everything. Keep doing your thing. I for one enjoyed your reaction.
Mihaela! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Offline....I am really embarrassed!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
I want that hoodie 😇 Edit: this song is great to me and I'm not even close to being a fan of these type of songs (so Israel is on the last place for me) but this is so good, melody is amazing!... and I hope it will qualify.
Hahahaha you really don't hahaha! Some critical feedback this weekend was I need a new logo hahaha...so will try and get round to solving that little branding issue this week haha. Oh I completely agree with you....Romania is so much better than Israel right now...I just think the revamp is going to Deliver! Set me free revamp last year was tr BOMB!!!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview can't wait to see the revamp, hopefully this one will also be great because I was really sad that Israel wasn't good at all for me this year. Agree about Eden's revamp! Also, she was just so cute! Why you got critical feedback ☹️😭 I think your logo is really recognizable when I open my notifications... and yes, that hoodie is great! ( they can say whatever they want, they have no taste 🤣). I hope we get a chance to vote for old or new one 😏💅
@@NatalijaJ hahahahah why are you super sweet. Thank you...it means allot to me....haha I will need people's help for sure in the next few weeks with some changes so your input Natalija would be invaluable :-)
Do you have a nice smile? Yeaaaas. Does your opinion matter in the semifinal? Nooo. Am I smiling and enjoying your video and Romania's entry? Yeaaas. Do I wanna hear from you again? Yeaaas. :)
I think is a great song...Italy won with a rock song and I do not think is a rock festival...I like this festival because we can hear a lot of different styles of music. In the past I remember Turkey, Greece, Ukraine they won with this kind of songs! Let's have fun go Romania
Cristina I think it's a great song too! I think allot of people think I don't like it! I listen to this one allot...it's the sort of sound I listen to !
it was a hectic weekend for sure! I had three streams open at a time, I couldn't handle more than that... would've been impossible actually being at one of the shows! This was my second fave, but wasn't surprised when it won. Choreo can be tightened up if not completely redone, I didn't notice at the time but watching it back here the lighting looks a little dark and I'm sure they'd be looking at what is possible with the lighting at Turin to improve that. Two men dancing so intimately isn't necessarily a LGBTQIA+ thing, but it also indicates that it's not going to provoke a "cut the feed!" reaction.
Hey....yeah I know the two men touching isn't exclusively a LGBTQIA+ moment...it just got my attention hahaha 😂 Stage was definately dark....and more.close up camera angles were needed on second watch. I'm with you....it needs better choreo :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview oh I was agree with you! I didn't word it well, but for them to include that in the performance they weren't worried about being taken off air because someone higher up (eg tv station, or government) would see it that way
You are wrong, he was in the second position from the public vote and in the first position from the jury vote, so the jury in Torino will put him in the first 10 for sure, and after that the possibilities for him are unlimited
This is the male-answer to Chanel this year IMO. I can see the performance evolving into PERFORMANCE-GOLD come May, lots of potential here! I'm obsessed. XD
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Ha! 😂 Glad youve come round! Tbh I understand your initial reaction, I was torn personally, on the the scale of 1 to cheesy. 😆 but its grown on me so much over time, its a VIBE. It actually took one famous Spanish guy here on TH-cam (Malbert) to breathe a new perspective for me. The man (WRS) Is legit screaming “I am queer” in full throttle and so unapologetically, we are not so used to this from Romanian entries, fierce. Most notably, the coreo is well thought out, sensually engaging in a dance routine with one of the male dancers right after they were interacting with the female dancer, a deliberate attempt in educating the viewer on same-sex dancing in the dance world, a cute statement there. The entry is Iconic already! :) 🥰
Ah, I wanted Dora to win. I had a lot of nostalgia love for the sound of her song. And I had other favourites that were knocked out in the semis like you said. The studio track of Llamame is kinda boring to me but WRS performs this song well so that elevates it a bit.
Romania is a latin country... also Romania is quite open with the LGBT, most people simply do not care, and there are a lot of laws against discrimination.
Hey Marius! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- ( Also thank you so so so so so much for providing context regarding LGBTQ visibility in Romania. I was posing the comment more as a question than a fact so thank you so much for informing me !!!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview do not worry, I wasn't offended, I can understand where your points were coming from, but Romania is making a lot of progress, and it's growing year by year very fast. Most people have a pro european values kind of mentality. Again, don't stress too much about it, everything is cool 😎
I didn`t like this song at fist listen but I couldn`t get the chorus out of my head so I went back to it again...and again...and again. I saw him perform it , just him and some musician at an outdoor performance @saga I think it was called and the sound and his vocals were both very much better than this one . I think that if they don`t mess up the staging or performance on the night this is going to be fun memorable break from all the ballads and , speaking as an Israeli, I`d like to see them both go through but if I had to choose I`d go for this one as it`s much more fun and enjoyable.
I don't like the song, for me it sounds very cheap. But for your remark on countries trying to imitate Latin countries : Romania is very much a Latin country :)
Mihai!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me about Romania and Romanian and its origins! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Thank you for watching the full video to be able to make that judgement. I appreciate it. Being part of the Roma community myself, it's good to know we are supporting each other with kind words :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I think that Dosvidaniya (was one of the favorites) and All this love (studio) were good, Malere was their favorite as a country, they get over 10k of votes in the semi
Alex!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Romanian is a Latin language, as well as Italian Spanish French ... etc you are too annoying you don't know how to enjoy really good music I like it a lot and for sure many will vote Romania It is a very suitable piece if you are better go instead we see gains? 👽🤠🔫
Denise I am so so so sorry! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Well, Romanians are not Latin, Latins are Romanian, and all Latin languages are Romanian, we are all Romanian, for us is easy to speak the other Latin languages because they are not Latin, they are Romanian, look here and you will undestand: https ://th-cam.com/video/6T5Afl-yxa8/w-d-xo.html
This song is about being gay in Romania “What if they’re gonna find out? Nobody’s gonna like it” etc It’s a coming out song: hola mi bebe, here I am camp af, accept me for what I am! Also that was the first time ever 2 males danced together on tv on prime time! His voice was crap, I hope he improves
It is a nice song and his performance was ok, but I liked Dora's and Petra's performance more. I was suprised when I saw performances of some artists as guests from other countries that will participate in Italy.
Ok allot of catching up for me haha....Dora and Petra are names being repeated to me so I need to check them out. I also need to check out other acts who performed as well!!!! Man this is going to be a busy week haha 😃
I have to say it . Does it just sound like dance version of Joci Papai (hungary 2017)? Although it is not my fave i actually like the traditional music vibes.
@@Adriantravellingtheworld hahaha awesome 👍👍 Thanks for telling me 🙂 Good to know 😊 Maybe I am writing this as a trick so you can come back and reply and I get one more view haha 😂 Take care ❤️❤️
it didn't really help that tvr forced juries to vote before 6 songs performed in the semi final to print of certificates and from those 6 songs, atleast 3-4 would've qualify not just in the nf but esc too. I don't really know how to feel about this tbh
I should have seen that coming from a british guy! Dude, If you UK would have pay huge amount of money, many Eurovision editions would have been without your country! So, stop being hater! Bye
Let's be honest, the song is meh-bad, it won because it's an absolute meme factory since we saw it in the semifinal. They have improved a lot in the finale. It is eurotrash and we will hear this for a while, I wanna dance this in any club! Also, kinda weird that Romania sends a song in spanish lol
It s not a first tho, we had zaleilah in 2012. Our language is from latin descent, I wouldn't say that about the culture tho... I honestly don't know why Romanians feel the need to sing in Spanish... we have a big artist in the Latin genre (talking about Inna) so there's that.
Ouch! But I deserves that xyz xyz!!!! Not much I can say but accept your comment. I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
@@stelian83 oh dear regrettably the more you message the the weaker your point and more over it would be so easy to use your words against you...but I wouldn't...because luckily...I went to school 🏫....which is fortunate as many people in this world do not have that opportunity. Moreover @zora does need to reply to your comment as you kind of broke dead an intellectual discussion with simply an assertion and no fact....in my book that isn't worth replying to. Have a great evening Xyz Xyz. Greetings from Italy :-)
Soooooo outdated, cringe 100%. Romanian is such a nice language that they don't need to resourced to another language. BTW cheesy is an understatement.
I kinda agree with what you said. What seems funny to me is that the jury's opinion in the semi final was that songs that go to the eurovision should BE in english or have ENGLISH lyrics. Randi repeated that obsessively to almost all the Romanian song entries... so yeah there's that. The jury this year was SO out of touch with what actually happens in Eurovision. Oh yeah, and Randi's argument to english lyrics was that "everyone should understand what you're saying"... which is sooo dumb imo
Give him some time! Michael was already well into a singing contest and Israeli TV channel had a bigger budget I am assuming.....let's see how the Romanian broadcaster supports him :-)
You are so ignorant about Romania unfortunately and LGBTQ in Romania. I've seen that you apologised for your comments, but your comments came from prejudice....
Teodora regrettably you too are ignorant as you too do not have all the facts! I never apologised for anything to do with LGBTQ rights....my apology referring to a part of the video that has now been cut out where I questioned the sound of the song being Latino and my confusion as geographically Romania is eastern Europe. I apologised sincerely for this as that was IGNORANT and I have learnt allot today as a result of people messaging with a more positive tone than yours! If your going to take time to message people please ensure you yourself are informed of the facts. Have a great day. Greetings from Milan :-)
My comment was referring to your comments about LGBT in Romania. I'm part of the LGBT community and I had no problems in Romania, all people have been kind and welcoming. Please watch your own video and see to which comments I was referring to , which show that your are ignorant when it comes to Romania.
@@teodoramb7503 Ohhhhhhh ok! Well fundamentally I MASSIVELY apoligise! I hate the thought that....particularly on issues like this...I have caused offense. You are 100% right then if what you are saying is true....if someone speaks about something they know nothing about and it is wrong then yes it is ignorant.....and I am super sorry for my ignorance. I would like to say though, whilst obviously I am upset I have offended you, your comment also makes me happy that LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and acceptance is great in Romania. That's AMAZING! As you obviously know this is not the case in lot's of other parts of the world!
I have rewatched it now.....are you referring to 05:38? It was more of a question (but yes the question comes rom ignorance) and you have answered my question Teodora so thank you :-) 🙏 ☺️ 😍
No worries, there is no need for apologies. And thank you for being kind! It was more your face expression (together with the words) that triggered my comments. Have a nice life!
Hey! Sorry if you felt I was being disrespectful! I think allot of people outside Romania think in a similar way! Anyway....I actually like the song and no doubt performance will improve for Eurovision. Lots of Love from Italy :-)

6:31 Romania sent strong vocals in 2018 and 2019 and it didnt pass. Idk if the quality of the voice really matters. It's about the whole vibe

Romania has some strong past happy-fobic tendencies and there's plenty of that sort of comments even on the official TV site, so yes, this entry is good from that perspective too.
Even though he's doing a Ricky Martin/Pablo Alborán thing in his music videos, for this he was courageous enough to change that narrative...and it's Eurovision, so it might actually help.
It's catchy, has gorgeous sexy dancing girls, and he added the guys too and pushed the boundary a bit.
It has something for everybody, so it will do well.
He was the only choice from the beginning, even not so appealing to a Romanian ear because the massive cultural import
Andrei I am worried people don't think I like it haha...this isn't even me saving my back...I really like it...I am just not sure if it is a competitive song for Eurovision! I mean I have listened to it a few times today and I like it....but yeah do not use that as any correct judgment on iwnthis could do at Eurovision haha
@@ShanesEurovisionReview The reactions made me smile, because you've got a little taste of how Latin we really are, especially the women.
We do have fiery blood running through our veins, and like the French, Spanish, Portugués, Italians, when we love, we do it with passion, when we fight, we go all in, when we support something, well you kind of seen that one😄.
@@Andrei-Marian hahahahaha 😜🙂
Hola, mi bebé-bé ❤ Euro at his best :))
It's certainly catchy!!!! :-)
Male on male contact on stage is a premier in Romania, but it is not quite a revolutionary gesture... we need to see a kiss
After wath this . I only can say... hola mi bebe be! Hola mi bebe be, llámame llámame!!! Tinna tinoni... tinoninininoni!
:-) Miguel
More you hear this song more you loved ❤️!!!
VERY true :-) x
But we are also latins 😥 our language it's related to italian, spanish, french..
Latin. We are latins! Latino is the generally accepted term for South Americans. We are European Latins like Italians, French, Spanish, Portuguese!
In music culture this Latin vibes is for LATAM which means America Central and South America because is related with our history and culture, we have nothing related to Romania and we were colonized by Spain, Italy and France so no, they are not.
Latino is not Latin, it's different things :)
@@Annie-fq5jp 100% correct
Corrected, tnx!
Hola, mi bebé-bé 👏❤ Ole💃 Love it! Good Latino vibes - understandable as Romania is one of the countries with Latin linguistic roots. 💃
Have listened to it allot since my reaction Sofia :-)
Thank you for your reaction.
Greetings from Romania!
This is slowly becoming one of my faves!!!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview
Hope it does!
This song isn't his best but I appreciate all of his work and creative, original acts- performance in his best! The latest videos/ songs from him makes me think he's "that guy"...
Thank you for answearing me,
Kudos!
This was one of the first songs people put on their top 50, 30 eurovision clip of 2022 back in january I think.
So the hola me bebebe, llamame llamame has been going through my head the last months😆. He has a particular way of singing, barely opening his mouth on the llamame lines, lazy singing.
I kind of like this tune even though it’s usually not a song I would be drawn to. It’s catchy.
Im glad this one got picked actually!
Im sorry you got hate on this video, I always appreciate the honesty.
Bless you.
Thank you Mari B 😘
Ironically the part of this video people seem to gloss over is I actually like the song haha 😍
Hehe. I read the comments you got, so plase don't take to heart some of them. As you can see, Eurovision is a very devisive topic in Romania and you have some people willing to take it to next level every year. It was a very watched show in the past, a tradition in most families, but the passion and the arguments after are still there.
Thank you for your time reacting to Romania's entry. All the best to you!
You literally made my day writing this. Thank you Andrei. I am human and make mistakes. Regrettably I don't know everything...but I never ever want to upset anyone so have just been worried today I hae offended people. Never my intention. Thank you for this message...it meant allot to me...more than you can know :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Don't worry about it. You haven't offended. You just got a little spark from the fire that erupts every year after the finalist is chosen. The spirits will settle down and hopefully will all regroup and support WRS. But now, there's still a lot of 'passion' let's call it that will spill towards everyone and everything.
Keep doing your thing. I for one enjoyed your reaction.
@@Andrei-Marian thank you Andrei :-)
Find out, Romania is a Latin country!
Mihaela! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
sorry to break it to you, but romanian is a latin language...
Offline....I am really embarrassed!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
I want that hoodie 😇
Edit: this song is great to me and I'm not even close to being a fan of these type of songs (so Israel is on the last place for me) but this is so good, melody is amazing!... and I hope it will qualify.
Hahahaha you really don't hahaha! Some critical feedback this weekend was I need a new logo hahaha...so will try and get round to solving that little branding issue this week haha. Oh I completely agree with you....Romania is so much better than Israel right now...I just think the revamp is going to Deliver! Set me free revamp last year was tr BOMB!!!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview can't wait to see the revamp, hopefully this one will also be great because I was really sad that Israel wasn't good at all for me this year. Agree about Eden's revamp! Also, she was just so cute!
Why you got critical feedback ☹️😭 I think your logo is really recognizable when I open my notifications... and yes, that hoodie is great! ( they can say whatever they want, they have no taste 🤣). I hope we get a chance to vote for old or new one 😏💅
@@NatalijaJ hahahahah why are you super sweet. Thank you...it means allot to me....haha I will need people's help for sure in the next few weeks with some changes so your input Natalija would be invaluable :-)
Grazie di❤️
:-) xxx
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💣💥 my bebebe
Do you have a nice smile? Yeaaaas. Does your opinion matter in the semifinal? Nooo. Am I smiling and enjoying your video and Romania's entry? Yeaaas. Do I wanna hear from you again? Yeaaas. :)
Thank you so much RIPNF :-)
I think is a great song...Italy won with a rock song and I do not think is a rock festival...I like this festival because we can hear a lot of different styles of music. In the past I remember Turkey, Greece, Ukraine they won with this kind of songs! Let's have fun go Romania
Cristina I think it's a great song too! I think allot of people think I don't like it! I listen to this one allot...it's the sort of sound I listen to !
it was a hectic weekend for sure! I had three streams open at a time, I couldn't handle more than that... would've been impossible actually being at one of the shows!
This was my second fave, but wasn't surprised when it won. Choreo can be tightened up if not completely redone, I didn't notice at the time but watching it back here the lighting looks a little dark and I'm sure they'd be looking at what is possible with the lighting at Turin to improve that. Two men dancing so intimately isn't necessarily a LGBTQIA+ thing, but it also indicates that it's not going to provoke a "cut the feed!" reaction.
Hey....yeah I know the two men touching isn't exclusively a LGBTQIA+ moment...it just got my attention hahaha 😂
Stage was definately dark....and more.close up camera angles were needed on second watch. I'm with you....it needs better choreo :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview oh I was agree with you! I didn't word it well, but for them to include that in the performance they weren't worried about being taken off air because someone higher up (eg tv station, or government) would see it that way
We may be eastern european but romanians are latins still
Hahahaha I am starting to learn this the hard way in these comments 😃🤣
❤️🔥🙌
♥️🇷🇴♥️🇷🇴♥️
This song 😍🔥 LOVE!
Romania means the people of Rome in latin.
As always Marius....love people educating me on my channel :-)
Thank you 😌
You are wrong, he was in the second position from the public vote and in the first position from the jury vote, so the jury in Torino will put him in the first 10 for sure, and after that the possibilities for him are unlimited
This is the male-answer to Chanel this year IMO. I can see the performance evolving into PERFORMANCE-GOLD come May, lots of potential here! I'm obsessed. XD
Regrettably I am a little obsessed AFTER the fact haha…I.e. after the reaction video….to my detriment haha
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Ha! 😂 Glad youve come round! Tbh I understand your initial reaction, I was torn personally, on the the scale of 1 to cheesy. 😆 but its grown on me so much over time, its a VIBE. It actually took one famous Spanish guy here on TH-cam (Malbert) to breathe a new perspective for me. The man (WRS) Is legit screaming “I am queer” in full throttle and so unapologetically, we are not so used to this from Romanian entries, fierce. Most notably, the coreo is well thought out, sensually engaging in a dance routine with one of the male dancers right after they were interacting with the female dancer, a deliberate attempt in educating the viewer on same-sex dancing in the dance world, a cute statement there. The entry is Iconic already! :) 🥰
@@CruCruVision hahahahaha this comment is everything! Wow 🤩 I agree with EVERYTHING :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview 😂 Thanks, quite the essay!
I quite like this
Hahahaha so do I 🤠
Ah, I wanted Dora to win. I had a lot of nostalgia love for the sound of her song. And I had other favourites that were knocked out in the semis like you said. The studio track of Llamame is kinda boring to me but WRS performs this song well so that elevates it a bit.
I need to check out the other songs this week. Allo of people are referring to Dora so need to check it out :-)
bop i love it final matriaal top 15 matriaal
Hahahahaha Mark you are so unpredictable :-)
Romania is a latin country... also Romania is quite open with the LGBT, most people simply do not care, and there are a lot of laws against discrimination.
Hey Marius! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Also thank you so so so so so much for providing context regarding LGBTQ visibility in Romania. I was posing the comment more as a question than a fact so thank you so much for informing me !!!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview do not worry, I wasn't offended, I can understand where your points were coming from, but Romania is making a lot of progress, and it's growing year by year very fast. Most people have a pro european values kind of mentality. Again, don't stress too much about it, everything is cool 😎
I didn`t like this song at fist listen but I couldn`t get the chorus out of my head so I went back to it again...and again...and again. I saw him perform it , just him and some musician at an outdoor performance @saga I think it was called and the sound and his vocals were both very much better than this one . I think that if they don`t mess up the staging or performance on the night this is going to be fun memorable break from all the ballads and , speaking as an Israeli, I`d like to see them both go through but if I had to choose I`d go for this one as it`s much more fun and enjoyable.
I would love to see Romania and Israel in the final! Both are in my top 15!
I don't like the song, for me it sounds very cheap. But for your remark on countries trying to imitate Latin countries : Romania is very much a Latin country :)
Mihai!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me about Romania and Romanian and its origins! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
Are we bored after your reaction? YES!
Thank you for watching the full video to be able to make that judgement. I appreciate it. Being part of the Roma community myself, it's good to know we are supporting each other with kind words :-)
Petra was my favorite and I think that her stage improved from the semi, I'm sad but I can't say that I didn't have the chorus on repeat
Bayron my job this week is to catch up with the other songs ..I will keep Petra in mind!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I think that Dosvidaniya (was one of the favorites) and All this love (studio) were good, Malere was their favorite as a country, they get over 10k of votes in the semi
Romania is latin tho
Alex!! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
@@ShanesEurovisionReview no problem. I get it, romania is the single latin country in the balkans so the latinity kinda fades away 😅
Romanian is a Latin language, as well as Italian Spanish French ... etc you are too annoying you don't know how to enjoy really good music I like it a lot and for sure many will vote Romania It is a very suitable piece if you are better go instead we see gains? 👽🤠🔫
Denise I am so so so sorry! I am now sitting with someone who is educating me! I am so so so so so sorry. Not ok from my end! Please don't be offended by what I said! I just wasn't fully aware :- (
But why educating someone in such an aggressive way? Lmao chill
@denisa no need to be rude.
dude, the "man on man touch on stage in romania" really offended me. We are not medieval here, you know. Good vides to you
Good to hear Adrian 😉
I recomind u his album mandala,,!,,its wowwww,,,,,,,wrs its more,,,,,,,
Thank you for the suggestion 😊
Well, Romanians are not Latin, Latins are Romanian, and all Latin languages are Romanian, we are all Romanian, for us is easy to speak the other Latin languages because they are not Latin, they are Romanian, look here and you will undestand: https ://th-cam.com/video/6T5Afl-yxa8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Christina 💓💓
This song is about being gay in Romania
“What if they’re gonna find out? Nobody’s gonna like it” etc
It’s a coming out song: hola mi bebe, here I am camp af, accept me for what I am!
Also that was the first time ever 2 males danced together on tv on prime time!
His voice was crap, I hope he improves
after 30 years of freedom maybe it's too late to show some gay freedom, so: no reason for celebration this premier
It is a nice song and his performance was ok, but I liked Dora's and Petra's performance more.
I was suprised when I saw performances of some artists as guests from other countries that will participate in Italy.
Ok allot of catching up for me haha....Dora and Petra are names being repeated to me so I need to check them out. I also need to check out other acts who performed as well!!!! Man this is going to be a busy week haha 😃
will you cover melodifestivalen before the final happens on saturday? :)
Yes.....tonight 😃🤞
Shane says something - - > Me in the comment section: "copy", "paste" 😂😂😂
Mwah 💋😘 As always 😜
@@ShanesEurovisionReview 😘
I have to say it . Does it just sound like dance version of Joci Papai (hungary 2017)? Although it is not my fave i actually like the traditional music vibes.
I love the traditional sound to this one Malgorzata Lipinska :-)
🤪
Can't get this song out of my head :-)
Maybe you are wrong!
Is this even a question haha! Watch my videos! I am often wrong 🤣
@@ShanesEurovisionReview No, it wasn’t a question! I don’t want to watch more videos of you!
@@Adriantravellingtheworld hahaha awesome 👍👍
Thanks for telling me 🙂
Good to know 😊
Maybe I am writing this as a trick so you can come back and reply and I get one more view haha 😂
Take care ❤️❤️
@@ShanesEurovisionReview I was thinking about this! You’ll have more „action“ on your video and the algorithm will recommend it!
@@Adriantravellingtheworld yep 😊😄
Keep replying please 🙂😃
Please react to Dora Gaitanovici - Ana. She was the public's favorite. And the song is extremely good and powerful 💜
Hey Denise! I will see what I can do! Trying to work out ways to make it up to some Romanians in the comments haha :-)
it didn't really help that tvr forced juries to vote before 6 songs performed in the semi final to print of certificates and from those 6 songs, atleast 3-4 would've qualify not just in the nf but esc too. I don't really know how to feel about this tbh
So THATS why there was some drama from the semis I the Eurovision fandom. Interesting!!!
I should have seen that coming from a british guy! Dude, If you UK would have pay huge amount of money, many Eurovision editions would have been without your country! So, stop being hater! Bye
Bye Andrei! Mwah 💋 😘 😗
Now, could you be any cuter than you already are? Answer: no.
Haha could be any nicer 😉🤠
Thank you and good luck to WRS and Romania :-)

no france react? ahah
Hahahahahahaha tomorrow. I need to go to bed. I have been travelling all day!!!!! :-)
Let's be honest, the song is meh-bad, it won because it's an absolute meme factory since we saw it in the semifinal. They have improved a lot in the finale.
It is eurotrash and we will hear this for a while, I wanna dance this in any club!
Also, kinda weird that Romania sends a song in spanish lol
It s not a first tho, we had zaleilah in 2012. Our language is from latin descent, I wouldn't say that about the culture tho... I honestly don't know why Romanians feel the need to sing in Spanish... we have a big artist in the Latin genre (talking about Inna) so there's that.
Hahaha I WANT TO DO DANCE TO THIS IN A CLUB HAHA!
Been listening to this allot since my reaction :-)
ZORA! Zaleilah is in my top 10 songs of all time! OBSESSED :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview back then I wasn't a fan but I must say it really is indeed a total BOP

What does not knowing a lot about a culture have to do with intelligence? Be more mindful jeez
@@zora9906 Everyone knows that Romania is a Latin country or at least the people who went to school😃😃
@@stelian83 oh dear regrettably the more you message the the weaker your point and more over it would be so easy to use your words against you...but I wouldn't...because luckily...I went to school 🏫....which is fortunate as many people in this world do not have that opportunity.
Moreover @zora does need to reply to your comment as you kind of broke dead an intellectual discussion with simply an assertion and no fact....in my book that isn't worth replying to.
Have a great evening Xyz Xyz.
Greetings from Italy :-)
@@zora9906 no need to respond! Regrettably their last response lacked any academic rigour to continue this discussion.
❣️😍🤩🤩
Soooooo outdated, cringe 100%. Romanian is such a nice language that they don't need to resourced to another language. BTW cheesy is an understatement.
I kinda agree with what you said. What seems funny to me is that the jury's opinion in the semi final was that songs that go to the eurovision should BE in english or have ENGLISH lyrics. Randi repeated that obsessively to almost all the Romanian song entries... so yeah there's that. The jury this year was SO out of touch with what actually happens in Eurovision. Oh yeah, and Randi's argument to english lyrics was that "everyone should understand what you're saying"... which is sooo dumb imo
@@zora9906 totally agree with you,, next year hopefully Romania will send something better.
@@emiphone-home7613 fingers crossed
This song needs a performer with the swag of Michael Ben-David to carry it off, WRS is not that performer and it comes across as amateurish.
Give him some time! Michael was already well into a singing contest and Israeli TV channel had a bigger budget I am assuming.....let's see how the Romanian broadcaster supports him :-)
You are so ignorant about Romania unfortunately and LGBTQ in Romania. I've seen that you apologised for your comments, but your comments came from prejudice....
Teodora regrettably you too are ignorant as you too do not have all the facts! I never apologised for anything to do with LGBTQ rights....my apology referring to a part of the video that has now been cut out where I questioned the sound of the song being Latino and my confusion as geographically Romania is eastern Europe. I apologised sincerely for this as that was IGNORANT and I have learnt allot today as a result of people messaging with a more positive tone than yours! If your going to take time to message people please ensure you yourself are informed of the facts.
Have a great day.
Greetings from Milan :-)
My comment was referring to your comments about LGBT in Romania. I'm part of the LGBT community and I had no problems in Romania, all people have been kind and welcoming. Please watch your own video and see to which comments I was referring to , which show that your are ignorant when it comes to Romania.
@@teodoramb7503 Ohhhhhhh ok! Well fundamentally I MASSIVELY apoligise! I hate the thought that....particularly on issues like this...I have caused offense. You are 100% right then if what you are saying is true....if someone speaks about something they know nothing about and it is wrong then yes it is ignorant.....and I am super sorry for my ignorance.
I would like to say though, whilst obviously I am upset I have offended you, your comment also makes me happy that LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and acceptance is great in Romania. That's AMAZING! As you obviously know this is not the case in lot's of other parts of the world!
I have rewatched it now.....are you referring to 05:38? It was more of a question (but yes the question comes rom ignorance) and you have answered my question Teodora so thank you :-) 🙏 ☺️ 😍
No worries, there is no need for apologies. And thank you for being kind! It was more your face expression (together with the words) that triggered my comments. Have a nice life!
He is a dancer, not a singer and his performance is AMAZING! YOU ARE A BIT DISRESPECTFUL!
Hey! Sorry if you felt I was being disrespectful!
I think allot of people outside Romania think in a similar way!
Anyway....I actually like the song and no doubt performance will improve for Eurovision.
Lots of Love from Italy :-)
