When I heard it, especially live, I felt so empowered. And it bring all kinds of feelings out inside of me. I have got the same feeling for this, as for Rybaks "Fairytale"... so much winner material! And I like it better than Spirits in the sky!
Im 19 and i love mgp to the point where it is more important then any holiday and I have done that since I was 11🥺 and now I feel old😭😂 I totally get what you mean. Although i think that Tix has such a loyal fanbase that they will vote for him even though they dont actuelly care for eurovision or mgp. I might be completely wrong ofcourse
@@helmenhjelmen1955 nooo, not like that omg!!!🥺🥺 I meant like most of the people who are listening to tix is like 11-20. And average age to watch MGP is 11-80. Like it’s more people over 30 who are watching than under, and those over 30 don’t like that kind of music
This song is really amazing. This is even better than "Spirit in the Sky!" . And I think "Spirit in the Sky" is the second best Eurovision Song ever, number one being Il Volo's "Grande Amore" from Italy
LOVE this reaction :-) I just pray that we will pick KEiiNO to represent Norway this year, because this song is just amazing. Love and hugs from Norway :-)
Oh my gosh my new favorite ESC Reaction channel! So refreshing to discover more channels like this with American fan reax. I was getting lonely in my little fan club of 1. Haha. Love this song and love your videos!
I might be biased, seeing as I'm Norwegian, but if KEiiNO don't win this year's ESC, nonetheless the local finals, I'll eat a shoe. I'm not Sami, but I feel an extreme sense of pride listening to them.
Love this reaction! Thank you from Norway :) So proud of Keiino and "Monument" - I REALLY hope they win MGP. Biggest contender in Norway might be Tix (believe it, or not...), who got shitty reviews for the track but enjoys a large teenage following here. So, I fear the "teenage hype". Will you react to that song, too?
I love your reaction to it which is roughly the same as mine. The melody just gets to me every time I listen to it. There's a power to it. I also like that it doesn't get completely predictable at any point and the chorus gives me goosebumps. I am going to be devastated if this doesn't go to Eurovision.
im so obsessed with this group right now and im just watching videos about this beautiful song i was enjoying all the video because you reacted just like me, regards from Chile!!!
Apparantly that was because they had technical difficulties that resulted in the jury seeing only part of their performance and the jury wouldn't allow them a redo
@@MadameChristie The technical difficulties was the fault of Swedish producer Björkmann. Norway’s performance went in black twice during the jury-show. -Norwegian Broadcasting, made a protest. But he refused them to sing once mote. You do the.math.
This was their first performance live since the song was released and if you loved this one- just imagine how much better it will be when they have improved the staging, sound and everything around it for the national final- will blow all the other artists off the stage 😂
They were put together as a group for Eurovision 2019, but have since stayed together and are now a group who have released quite a few songs. Fred Buljo isn't really a singer or a joiker, he is actually a rapper and he's showing that he knows how to do it in this song. Nice reaction video. Best regards from a Norwegian Eurovision fan!
Gives me the same vibes as Euphoria or Arcade, and they are both winners, that tells us something. They can not only win in Norway but can win Eurovision overall. This has winner vibes in the grand contest for sure. I will vote for them 300%.
Thanks for all your reaction videos. I love to watch them. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your reaction to 80s and 90s songs 😀 regards from Roy in Norway
I love this song and KEiiNO’s performance!!! 👍😊👍 I like it way more than „Fallen Angel” (by TIX), which won the 2021 MGP. „Monument” got the second place.
I never connected with Spirit in the Sky and actually sort of hated it a bit until I had heard it maybe six times. But Monument is fantastic. Much like their other songs since Spirit in the Sky, they've grown. And they learned to weave Fred's joik into the songs properly.
I liked Spirit In The Sky and thought it should have won in 2019. When I first heard Monument I thought it was too similar to Spirit In The Sky but the more I listen to it the more I like it. The problem with the ESC finals is that many people won't have heard the song before and won't have had time really to appreciate it.
I love it soo soo much, I love Spirit in the Sky too, I hope they will win, I am afraid a bit, because the people love Tix too, so I think it will be a massive duel againts Keiino and Tix, but I hope Keiino will win, I can't stop listening this song..omg..
@@JordanDavisEurovision Tix is the number one played norwegian artist. His music is primarly party music but his fans will probably vote him forward. Personally im gonne vote for him because i never heard him sing in english and he said he was gonna do that in eurovision if he win mgp. But i do think Keiino has a better song and a fat better potential in winning thr competition. Mostly because norwegians cant vote for tix in the International finals
I love your reactions. 😅 I love this song too,Keiino are great,and i hope They make it too Eurovision. Are you gonna watch the Eurovision in May? Love and hugs from Norway 💖
the man who sings in a slightly different way is a Same, they are Norway's indigenous people, and they have a national day today, the Same have a "country" which they call sapmi, it is located in Norway, Sweden and Finland
when you mention the rapping in sami.. Thats actually what Fred do normally. Im Norwegian and love esc with all my heart so im kinda not objective.. lol. we have only reached 1 semi, but i declare this as a winner.
Hey, hey, hey - now damn! I KNEW you would love this one. This song has Eurovision written all over it, as did Spirit in the Sky, kinda harking back to the cheesy but very classic, sound of ESC from the 70's. - ad deservedly so Forever and a day, whether it qualifies or not, this will be regarded as a classic amongst the fandom - and deservedly so. Keiino have secured a place in ESC fandom history and a career to last for years. I absolutely love them. Is it better than Spirit in the Sky?. For me... as a long time viewer, perhaps no. Keiino know they need to improve on the jury vote and this is more mature, so that's a tick in the box.. Certainly that will help them - but they also need to grab the attention of the first time listener. The visual performance is way to monochrome for that. It's a good song but really needs staging, staging staging
12 points to Keiino once again from the public. And i guess a bad grade from the music experts. Too bad, but we in Norway are in love with Keiino and their etnic pop. Great song. will they winn the popular vote again in Eurovision with Monument??? They probaly will winn in Norways MGP 20 th Febuary.
iTunes, puh-lease. No. Go Tidal, get on their Hi-Fi plan, get yourself Soundpeats H1. Or Creative Outlier Air V2, or Anker Liberty Air 2 Pro. Then enjoy the glory of Monument.
Hmm, looks like I'm in the minority lol, since I like Spirit in the Sky better, but I understand they wanted to make more jury friendly song. I feel it’s really gonna grow on me eventually (it already has since I first heard it), but it does not have that instant appeal for me that SITS had. I think the only part that I’m not sold on yet, is the tempo change when the chorus starts, It's not clicking with me yet lol 🙈 Anyway, good luck to them!
@@JordanDavisEurovision Yeah, I mean it's not bad at all, it's just not causing me to replay it at the moment, but I don't mind it, when I hear it :) And it took some of my faves months or years to grow on me, so potential is definitely there :)

I like Keiino and this song, but Norway is not San Marino and we can't have same artists almost every year...we still don't know many other songs ...so lets see if they will deserve to win :) I want new artist for Norge
I like this song, but I think it is just like okay? The melody is a bit boring in my opinion. However the singers totally make up for it! Even though I know that the samii guy is a big part of the group, it kinda feels like he's third-wheeling in this song. Like they just threw in some parts for him to sing to make it seem like he is part of it. That is one thing I feel like they did better in spirit in the sky. It sounded like he was more included. In monument the song could work perfectly fine without his parts, which is a shame.

i wasnt a fan of spirit in the sky but this is really great and beautiful. hope norway picks this.

OMG it's so cute to see you really moved by this. ❤️
remember: THEY got only 40 points from the jury ...
