Were can i watch your reaction to this years contest?😊
@@omarachefay3937 this was my reaction to this years contest😆
She didn't forget who the Finnish guy was. Kaarija was going to give the points for Finland, but he didn't. Because of things. And stuff.
Exactly this. Kaarija dropped out last minute so she didn't know who the new spokesperson was.
pretty low key of him tbh
Yes. There was a protest... or something... does anyone now why?
@@noodleppoodle It was a protest against Netherlands being disqualified and Isreal harrassing the contestants and the press.
New Finn, Who Dis?
To be fair Finlands representetive was supposed to be Karijaa (last years second). He dropped out in the afternoon after Joost from the Netherlands was disqualified.
aahhh okay
No they have a voting sequence where someone announces who got their countries twelve points (highest ranking) from music professionals, kaarija was supposed to announce those, not participate, due to the Joost contreversy
@@utrniii sorry I was of course to the ambassador during the points. ( 8:31 ) I just mixed up the wording due to not being a native speaker. I didn't think it would be an issue up until now.
So let me make it clear.
The contestant from last Year Käärija, was supposed to give the Finish points this year, but did drop out of this obligation due to his friend Joost (NL 2024) famously being disqualified before the final.
The Finish contestant this year was Windows 95 man.
What really surprised me was how the other contestants would go and hug Nemo when their country gave them 12 points. When they won other contestants were the first to hug him. There's a clip where Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Nemo have made a hug circle and they're jumping up and down after Nemo's win. I don't remember this happening before.
Well... nothing surpasses last year when everyone ran to comfort Kaarija instead of hugging and cheering Loreen. The contrast is curious. 😂
The contest is a mercurial beast
There was a group who became friends over the week. They bigged each other up.
The four acts in that circle were being harassed by one delegation, can you guess who?
@@francisdunne8542 Take that with a huge grain of salt.
EBU's official statement said SOME delegations didn't respect the spirit of the rules (not just one or two). That delegation people are accusing has also complained about harassment.
According to some unofficial statements from people who claimed to have worked there, many members of the other delegations insulted the israeli participant when she walked by and try to intimidate her on day one, that's why they put her in a room away from the others. From that day on most delegations (the israeli one included) acted disrespectful, arrogant, antagonized one another and created troubles in a way or another to the point they had to place less problematic delegations (like Germany's, Croatia's and Georgia's) in between them to serve as buffer. So apparently almost nobody was a saint but everyone likes to play victim.
that’s so wholesome
Congrats, u chose the the most controversial and messiest Eurovision edition to first react to.
Oh and France 2023 and 2021 are also very French
Actually not, 2024 had so many good songs.
@@hardeh3417 do you know the definition of controversial?
@@hardeh3417 I didn't say it doesn't
how typical of me💀
France 2023 with La Zarra was almost offensively French. I adored her
Trophy breaking is classical part of Eurovision at this point. It happened at least once before (with Alexander Rybak)
lmao💀💀
They probably just got a new one from Wish or Temu 😂
8:54 speaking of Josuke lol, actually, check out this woman's song for real; it's iconic. It's Serbia 2022 btw
Hey! Really cool video, always nice seeing Americans focussing on Eurovision :D
The issue with the finnish spokesperson was, that due to different reasons (probably the exclusion of NL) the planned spokesperson didn't show up, but this info wasn't passed along to Petra doing the jury votes.
I was part of the crowd in the venue and we all just laughed at this moment xD
Greetings ✌🏼
thank you! oh, i understand. it was pretty hilarious nonetheless!
Lol the spokesperson from Serbia was Konstrakta, who participated in Eurovision in 2022 and ended 5th (with a very similar look), and she’s basically and icon in the Eurovision fandom
Switzerland was SO good, I'm so glad that you noticed it! I was also really surprised of the high number of jury points for Ireland, so happy for them 🖤
definitely my favorite, no question about it. ireland was great too!
#justiceforjoost
I love that he loved Estonia bc people I feel like usually don't remember Estonia and when he was saying how much he liked it I was smiling the whole time:)
vsauce slapped this year
Lots of people (including me and my son) agree with you concerning the Estonia song.Check the lyrics, it's about a gang trying to convince the police they're innocent and the drugs found on them arent theirs 😂 It's hilarious and we loved it.
I love Estonian song, it's awesome! And Norway was soo good this year, it's exactly my cup of tea, I'm so sad they got last place 🥲
ESTONIA SLAPPED
Nemo broke The Code and his trophy and his thumb too this nignt. And also our heart, for sure !
Fellow Estonia lover! I was surprised that they and Finland didn’t do so well in the televote.
i wasn’t really surprised but i think they deserved better…
Americans: Nemo's song was the best eurovision song ever.
Europeans: _placed Nemo 5th_
😂😂😂
that is not what he said but go off..
nemo was the best. some ppl still in 1950 ;)
@@simons8197 He said Nemo's performance was the best one in eurovision he's ever seen. Most americans I've talked to also say that and that his song was the best they've ever heard etc. That's why I generalized when I said "americans" (not "american") say x since the contest is about the song anyway.
Same like not all europeans thought nemo was worth 5th (but rather 1st) yet we say europeans say x. No need to be so picky in a comment like that. 😅
@@hardeh3417 I was very happy for nemo but I still preferred Croatia. I just find the general clash of opinions very funny. 😂
@@JustYetAnotherUser Ye i agree haha. Afterall it was fun to watch and hey, this year it was exciting at least.
8:16 malta is an island to the south of italy... lots of children from north africa and the middle east attempt to escape their countries using rafts across the mediterranean and a shit ton of them just die by drowning before they even make it to europe, the teddy bears are meant to be a political statement about it, like "remember all the dead children in the mediterranean we haven't talked about?" cyprus and italy are also known to mention it a lot since them and malta are the countries that usually get the bodies washing up on shore. one of the songs in italy's national final was about this and the guy singing wore a similar outfit
youre so right, Estonia's song SLAPPED super hard and was done dirty.
i know right !!
bro ur hair looks so good 🤤
my top 5:
1.Lithuania-Luktelk-Silvester Belt
2.Switzerland-The Code-Nemo Mettler
3.Israel-Hurricane-Eden Golan
4.Italy-La Noia-Angelia Mango
5.Nehterlands-Europapa-Joost Klein (joost klein got disqualified so he is not in the grand final)
also the Norwegian person who where going to give the points where actually going to be Alessandra Mele (who was Norways entry last year) but she decided to quit, same with Käärija !
aww thanks!!
Also that’s what’s great about eurovision, everyone has their own favorites and I’m glad you shared!
Maybe it was not pointed out to you during the chat: when it comes to Switzerland vs. Croatia all the fans wanting to go one day to a ESC will thinking with their wallets since You can have a week in Croatia for the money a night in Geneva or Zurich is going to cost you.
I liked the 2024 one, so many good songs :) thats what it is all about. nemo had the best vocal!
for real
Well Nemo got the second trophy... and they lost it 🤣
NO SHOT
@@diofromcali unfortunately, but for real 😅 Nemo and the Swiss delegation don't remember where they hid it during the trip
@@WojBoy1999God I love Nemo.
Came to Eurovision, rizzed up Lithuania, defied the Ebu by smuggling in a nonbinary flag, won the contest, got crowned by the witch, broke the trophy, used it as an opportunity to trash talk the EBU, got a new trophy, lost it.
Absolute icon.
@@Alexander-tu3iv I'm waiting for their engagement with Sylvester...🫣 this will be iconic 🤣
they? didn't noticed he used "We" in the song or interviews, only "I..." so i think his non-binarity is more trend wave he is surfing to get votes and fans
Nemo got a new trophy, and they also broke their finger 🥲 it’s okay though, they stated it in a interview
oh no💀💀 not a finger too
I‘m amused, thanks😅
hi! is there a way to re-watch that stream by any chance?
If XQC was a less terrible person
i swear everyone comments this and I do not see the resemblance but its hella funny💀💀
And better looking too 🤭
I guess the hair parting is similar,
But I don't really see the resemblance.
ohhh i would love to see the full reaction but it isn't on twitch anymore:(
FINALLY SOMEONE LIKES (NENDEST) NARKOOTIKUMIDEST EI TEA ME (KÜLL) MIDAGI. (it's my favourite and I memorized it) [it's estonia's song]
its such a vibe and i love it
Finally-finally!-an American finds a fitting description for Eurovision, "the hunger games without hunger and death" :) Here in Europe, it always feels like an eye stab when people describe it as an American Idol equivalent.
hahah im glad it was an apt description! no its definitely very hunger-games esc for sure
@@diofromcali that's a major part of its charm. It's bigger than ever before and kind of makes you happy to be European since it's one of the few big things that hasn't been completely appropriated by Americans. Do you like Will Farrell 's movie?
Nice job! Mostly agreed with your takes - altho I don't mind the ballads so much. And high energy seemed to be the secret sauce for the top performers (they broke the code?)
i guess so… though to be fair i did like france but yeah energy is definitely going to help
"Wait hold up...she kinda bad tho" 😂
you didn't talk about the booing and u could have told us that one of the most favorite song got disqualified. ''Joost Klein Europapa'
The French entries are so.....French😭, luckily, the staging and the voice saved it. From the balads, Portugal is my fav. The harmony writing was amazing, and the voice was flawless. Happy with the 10th place.
i know right!! absolutely, i understand and can respect that
Not my song, France was better.
Complaining when French songs are and feel French (gee, who would have thought, right), complaining when they don't feel French enough... We can't wait with this fandom, now can we ? We should take Portugal/Georgia's route, to do whatever we want without giving a care in the world about what the rest thinks of us.
@@percevalmahpouyas9933 I loved La Zarra'as song last year and Marco's song too, but this one felt safe, but the live performance was great. I didn't mean to sound like I didn't like the language, it's just the sound of it it's very safe, he deserves 4th place.
@@keldeori3059 4th place is the best result we could have ever gotten this year. With Switzerland and Croatia as the front runners, and the indomitable Ukraine (I have this song on loop), we are all proud of Slimane over here.
The mainstream Eurovision fan.. Aren't thinking about the song quality at all.. They want a spectacle.. And they get really really cranky if they don't get their way.
are you talking about my takes or just the casual fan? because if its song quality switzerland was definitely on top for sure
@@diofromcali I am talking about the average Joe... Someone without an ear for music. You obviously can hear the difference in quality.
Don't get me wrong. It's ok to root for an underdog.. But fans these days are some of the nastiest ever. They will collecively decide which is their favourite and influence each other to think the same and they'll try to annihilate the competition. If you look at commentary over past winners you'll see how they act when they fail to pick the real winner..
Haha, how we all so different and it is beautiful! I loved and still obsessed with Lithuania song! And Germany too (though agree that it wasn’t really winning material)
And this year I wasn’t sleeping at all through the final though it started 10 pm and ended around 2 am? I barely remember. If not all those scandals - would be my favorite year(
i totally agree! that’s what’s beautiful about such a song contest, everyone can have their own favorites‼️‼️
They broke the trophy
Me: thats not the first time this happens.
To the ending, Nemo got a new trophy don't worry, but they didn't get a new thumb which they also broke in the process
I also heard the second one got lost on the way back home,
Which is peak irony.
@@BramLastname nooo😭
@@Pokiandi I'm sure they'll sort something out.
@@BramLastname I sure hope so
LETS GOOOO
HIII
I was so surprised that you and Maqwell's favourite song is the Estonian one. I watched Maqwell's stream called: "EUROVISION 2024 WATCHALONG (i think)". He prepared for Estonia and Croatia because he ranked in 2nd and 3rd. Before Lithuanian performance Maqwell played Europapa for skipping the "GENOCIDE" country and people donated to Palestine. The goal is to reach $500. That stream hits the goal after the croatian performance. Maqwell's most hated song for this year's Eurovision is the Cyprus one and he said: "It's actually alright". The final performance was Austria and Maqwell has turned the lights on and guess what: his batteries of the flashlight were running out. The jury voting was the hope that "GENOCIDE" country won't give 12 points to any country until televoting. The televoting was the reason so many countries got robbed even the chat said that. UK got 0 points and then he forgot to skip the "GENOCIDE" country. That's why Maqwell's Twitch account got suspended because of that. Thankfully you managed to complete the whole stream without being suspended from Twitch.
i mean Vsauce was in eurovision how could i not support my boy
ohhh, you need to react for eurovision 2023, 2022, 2021, 2019
i could perhaps do that !
Me only thinking about the fact that this channel name "dio" means God in Italian 😂
dio: It's kinda like The Hunger Games, but without the hunger
me: and without the games
dio: and without the death
me: oh... -(there was death, but that's a topic for another day)-
The netherlands is the true winner
brother ur ratings are crazy, i think u slept threw the whole eurovision 😭
Congrats Nemo 👍😎❤️🎉🎶🇨🇭
Bro, you need to stay awake during ballads - if they qualify for the final, THEY ARE STUNNING! 😭
Also, Armenia was such a needed break from so much dark and electronic sounds... a breath of fresh air
i knowwww…. also, armenia was AMAZING i loved that one
I guess you have to have been in your 20's during the 1990's, to really appreciate the 90's vibe of Austria's 'We will rave' - and I certainly did.....and certainly was in my 20's back then, which kind of makes me........ anyway! It clearly went over the heads of you Gen Z'ders!
Just thought it had so much hi energy, and was EXACTLY the song to wake people up..... who'd dozed off either at home or in the arena. My god, the strobe lights for it. Intense. Who cares if the lyrics weren't great - when has a rave anthem ever had exquisite lyrics??! It was just really good - cracking tune....which didn't deserve second last place.
Marina❤zari❤Greece❤❤❤❤
VSauce! That's who he reminded me of. And I haven't seen anyone mention it T-T (I thought his TH-cam name was Veritasium or something, I'm not good with names though)
Bro, you skipped over Israel. Despite how anyone feels about what's going on over there and anyone's opinions about it, the song was powerful and somewhat emotional if you understand what the song was about. Second favorite behind Ireland.
That’s quite well summed up 👍
Sweden on 1 for mee❤❤❤❤
Nice princess connect ost in the background!
Great review man! I was at the Final, it was awesome and I can tell you the Georgia fire was HOT! 🔥🔥 Interesting fact for you - the last Eurovision winner of the contest for Switzerland was none other than Celine Dion!
thank you! no way, i had no idea!!
FREE JOOST
hi! do you know what your nickname means in Italian?😅
Croatia winner the Best ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
You should really do something about your falling asleep during ballads. You're still young, it's not a good look on you.
He's too young
Watch this... all songs of this year in one mix: th-cam.com/video/_bMEqcv-fyw/w-d-xo.html
YOOOOO
YOOO
PLEASE react to the Dutch performence is the semis, it's so funny
It's bad :x
Israel was so good
Seriously check out the Serbian jury winner's song in 22 - it's seriously off the wall and .....brilliant bring a translation of the lyrics. Its called In Corpore Sano - you're welcome.
You didn't even dare to show a part of Uk song... for a good reason 🙂
They spinning around on a disk 😞 I saw only one person. Honestly his vocals were great and the song was catchy, not sure he really deserves 1st place.
But in general what you look it about how crazy and catchy the song is, you missed a lot of good songs (all with actual vocals)
Thanks dude for just dismissing the UK🇬🇧.😢
The UK entry had the best performance, production and staging value of any of the other acts .
You forget the UK export more music artist after the US. So it's sad you didn't like Olly Alexander and the boys, who I may say were amazing with that core strength hanging upside down etc during the performance. .
you have such w opinions my man and then it comes to LITHUANIA???? HELLO????
hahah to each their own i guess‼️
For me there was only one winner, and that was Joost Klein. After disqualied from the EBU.
Im sorry your life is so borring that you "fall a sleep" when a good song comes up
Es una buena muestra de la decadencia de Europa, sí
Yep its so crazy 😂
Israel got 323 points from televote
Croatia more
Why didnt you react the Netherlands?
Where the Netherlands react to Netherlands it’s a rap somg
Non Eurovision related question - I ask this with no disrespect, Im just curios. Is your bed in a kitchen?
@@diofromcali oooh ok, thanks
not lithuania being arguably my favourite song
Finnish song was not boring.
I'm a huge Eurovision nerd myself. You should listen to the studio recordings (they're on TH-cam also) of some of the songs you didn't like (not Germany's, it really did stink) and see what you think. The UK's song, for example, is much better. Also...are you able to explain why Switzerland was good? I couldn't stand it and thought it would get "null pointes" but it won. I just don't get it. Croatia should have won. Also, check out Netherland's song that was disqualified, it is also really good
i'm a producer in a commercial music studio for 20years and switzerlands song was by far the best contribution for ESC 2024.
This is how different opinions are.... IMO Switzerland was the best and BY FAR the best vocal. Croatia was horrible for me.
Actually dio explained it pretty good why he liked Switzerland's song, he said: "...the vocals,...the combination of genres like rap, drum n' base and opera,... spinning around that disc without falling over..." 6:20 . I think both Croatia and Switzerland were great, but rooted more for Croatia because I liked the music style more.
😂🇨🇭
i mean the reason why i liked the most is simply because it is ‘something else’; it did something new and daring and did it so well. then of course it all comes down to personal preference in the end.:)
Croatia is the real winner
It's insane because it's a mess and robbed
Næhhh
Modern mad circus like once in sodom-decadence Weimar republic.
Flagged for saying b word 😢😢😢😢😢 thumbs down
@@wham13456 what?
After this year eurovision problaby going to die
no europapa? dislike
He wasn't part of the GF, and he only watched Saturday's show, can't blame him for not knowing
It seems you know very little about the Eurovision Contest 😂
Very underwhelming when you dont acknowledge 🇮🇱 Israel. I wuestion your taste in mudic or regard to music.
Besides France, Eden was the only good song in top 5. Nemo is crazy, cant understand how his song was liked but thats the Eurovision
Lol sure
