the rain down fire on the screen indicate the missiles that Russia is launching into Ukraine.
and the water flowing in the beginning symbolizes the Kakhovka dam that was destroyed by the russians.
Phosporus bombs
You can interpret it both ways. One like they said in the video and one like you said of course.
@@maver1ck432 both singers stated that all song is for Ukrainian women during the war and nothing to do with Bible.
Its so beautifully done. Its like shes guiding her way to the top past all the destruction and standing proud to be Ukrainian. It makes me emotional everytime
this song is about women living during the war in Ukraine. The ‘fireworks’ are phosphorus bombs :(
I mean not officially, since that would be current political ongoings but obviously that's the intention.
@@strange144she’s said that after the Finals on instagram
@@strange144 Politics is when you vote for one party or another. War - when people kill people - is NOT politics! We call it tragedy or murder.
Swedes might declare their love for Eurovision, but it's Ukraine that always delivers. This song is one of the few songs that made it to my actual playlist even before Eurovision. I knew it's good, but the performance enhanced it even more.
The “it’s giving ~ bible 😘” part killed me
"It's givinggggg... Christ xo"
@@MadisonLauren"are we not.... Moses?"
The "rain of fire" behing Jerry Heil when she climb the summit is Phospherous Bombs, which are currently being used on Ukrainian civilians by Russian forces
jerry heil, the singer, explained on twitter that water LED at the start is representative of the breach of kakhovka dam from about a year ago which was caused by an explosion during the war (by russia) leading to extensive flooding and casualties
Kudos to Tanu Muino, the most successful Ukrainian video director worldwide! She staged a performance where people could see different things that unite them, not divide them, even without understanding the lyrics. "A spring pushes its way through" lyrics are sung when we see the water on the stage. Then - a whirlpool of adult life where the most burden falls on women's shoulders. Hence the rock climb, during which, you saw the Apocalypse, but Ukrainian and Israeli people saw the flares of phosphorous munitions. Similarly, the grey silhouettes of walking people signify the ancestors for someone but the loved ones killed in the war for the others. This song is an anthem for women struggling in everyday life, especially during a war, when every woman has to be a warrior. The way out - you choose your own path to your divinity as examples of Mother Mary and St. Teresa show us, both of whom were born humans. BTW Jerry Heil is the singer, Alyona Alyona is the rapper.
The water is a flood after the Kachovka dam broke, the shooting stars are phosphorus bombs, the people in the houses are the souls of the dead. This warriors armor on the singers..it’s So symbolic And this scene with mountain and fire ..that's it like russian phosphorus bombs This song makes me cry, Just beautiful and sad to the point of tears
Great song. Brilliant combination of beautiful vocals and rap. The visuals were fantastic and very powerful. Ukraine should be very proud.
Much love from Ireland 🫶
A great song about all Ukrainian women❤❤and yes there are biblical references like Virgin Mary and Mother Theresa❤❤
Though the song references Catholic figures, Mother Teresa and Virgin Mary, the song’s actually a women’s empowerment song, about how we are in-charge of our own destiny; that we are not born saintly but can become one with our actions. The performance, however, references what is happening in Ukraine, both for men and women. If you keep that in mind, a lot of things will hit differently: like the armor on Jerry Heil in the beginning( women are part of the Ukrainian military btw); the shadows a.k.a. departed people; the missiles. It’s more real-life than it is biblical. If you watch the video for this song, it has real-life Ukrainian women affected by the full-scale invasion, in some shape or form: whether by experiencing occupation, or being a soldier, among others. This was, hands down, one of my most favorite songs and performances this year, and in the history of Eurovision. Of course, I’m biased and live in Ukraine, so this performance made me very emotional, but we had a pretty solid Top 5 this year. Israel wasn’t my fav, because it was super generic, both song and performance, but besides that, I would have been happy for any of the four in the Top 5 to have come first. In fact, there were so many good songs this year and many deserving of victory. Ukraine came third from the “death spot,” which is second in the running order, which is the best result from that position in a while. Usually, most countries from that spot end up coming in the bottom 10, so this was a huge deal. You should also react to the entries from other countries that didn’t place in the Top 5, such as Estonia, Lithuania, Italy, Greece, Finland, Armenia and Austria. These were my favorites, but heck, you could react to all songs if you want: most are great!
What an amazing song and performance!
Seeing this wonderful performance again makes me emotional because you can feel all the suffering they are going through 💙💛
Then you look at Israel’s and it just seems fake
This song was one of my favourites this year. It's so good, evan though I don't understand the language but it just grips you. ❤
Love this song... love the entries from Switzerland, France, Ukraine and Croatia.... fan from the Philippines...
This is one of the best song ever and that performance is by far the best ever done at Eurovision
Does anyone else feel like these guys have a very calming quality about them? I mean I have anxiety and your conversation are soothing me for some weird reason.
Those fireballs reigning down represent phosphorus bombs which are supposed to be illegal worldwide because of their terrible accuracy causing many civilian casualties. Despite this Russia is using them on Ukraine currently.
I loved this song ❤ it was beautiful and that rap came as a surprise.
1️⃣ - the water at the beginning of the speech is a symbol of the destroyed Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station, which caused an environmental disaster in Ukraine (type in Google)
2️⃣ Fire falling from the sky is a symbol of Russia's use of phosphorus bombs on the territory of Ukraine, which are banned throughout the world.
3️⃣ shadows of people in the background of the performers are a symbol of the people who died in the war in Ukraine.
4️⃣ the song was dedicated to all the women of Ukraine who continue to be strong during the war, help their men, support their country, and fight for independence against the occupiers.
Alyona Alyona is the rapper and Jerry Heil the other, of course.
FYI. This is not a duet, but two different independent singers 😊. Jerry Heil takes part in the national Eurovision selection for the third time. European bloggers adoringly awaited her song “WHEN GOD SHUT THE DOOR” last year, predicting her success, but... it didn’t happen. 😊 Alyona Alyona, a former kindergarten teacher from the Kyiv region, is the coolest female rapper in Ukraine, who has been performing successfully in Europe and the USA for a long time. Previously, they had already sung several songs in collaboration with each other and with very popular performers from Poland and Germany.
Jerry Heil, by the way, is a student at Berklee College of Music, USA, majoring in film music. She was forced to take a sabbatical leave due to the treacherous Russian war against Ukraine in order to do charity concerts for her country.
Thank you for reaction 😌Alyona Alyona-rapper, Jerry Heil-vocalist)
this song is still my favorite even after Eurovision Final, love aboslutly about the song, the performance, Jerry, Alyona, everything is so powerfull!!
Beautiful song and the performance is gorgeus.
The title refrence Mother Theresa and Jesus mom Mary, but its basically a female anthem.
Talking about the similarity of the languages: Ukrainian much more similar to Polish than to Russian. The last one is not so smooth at all.

The director of this presentation/production is Tanya Muinho - a world-famous Ukrainian director, clip maker, designer, stylist and photographer. She is the director of music videos of popular world and Ukrainian artists, such as: Dua Lipa, Jungkook(JK), Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Lenny Kravitz, Post Malone, The Weeknd, Cardi B, Megan. The Stallion, Rosalia, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Yungblud, MONATIK and others.
Not all Europeans will understand the true meaning of the details of the performance, unlike Ukrainians, who see symbols in every second of the performance.
On the ESC stage, Jerry Heil appeared in a pastel long dress with shoulder patches, and Alyona Alyona in a gray suit with a cape, chain mail and voluminous sleeves.
Jerry Hil said that as a reference for her costume, the image of the defender Archangel Michael was used, and part of the metal armor on the shoulders is also from there. In addition, the dress is really torn and burnt - as a symbol of strength and indomitability. "We looked at his clothes and what he broadcasts. We looked at a lot of content. In our production, my image is a symbol of strong virgins who carry this world on their steel shoulders," Jerry Heil clarified.
Alyona Alyona emphasized that her image conveys the thorny life of Ukrainian women now. "My cape has layered shoulders to show that a woman's life now is hard, thorny, full of things you don't expect. And you have a lot to carry on your shoulders, but you get up and go, take your sword and go fight ", the rapper said. By the way, during her performance, Alyona pulls out an improvised sword from behind her back: in her hair is a hairpin stylized as a sword.
All elements of clothing are real and have a lot of weight. The chain mail alone weighs 3 kg and consists of 10,000 metal rings.
"It is difficult to move with it, but we deliberately chose it so that it was not just symbols, but so that we ourselves could feel it and broadcast it for real," concluded Alyona Alyona.
As Jerry Heil sings "The Fountain Makes Its Way," a digital stream of water sweeps across the stage. It reminds Ukrainians of the tragedy at the Kakhovskaya HPP, which was blown up by the Russian invaders, destroying the largest reservoir in Ukraine.
The lights in the sky during Jerry Heil's speech symbolize the flashes of phosphorus bombs, prohibited by all international conventions, but with which the Russians fire at the positions of the Armed Forces, as well as peaceful cities and villages of Ukraine.
And during the performance of the rapper Alyona Alyona, shadows are visible above - these are the souls of our glorious ancestors and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians killed by the Russian invaders in the ongoing war; they support us from heaven. And the lyrics of the song are appropriate: "But your ancestors will always follow you from heaven."
At the end of the number, Jerry Heil and Alyona Alyona go down, as if to the other women. In general, Women Power and the unification of women for an important cause is one of the main messages of their performance, expressed in two lines that are repeated in English as well: all virgins are born human. The girls wanted to remind that even though we are simple people, we can reach unreal heights.
(Note.
Archangel Michael was the first to rebel against Lucifer when he rebelled against God. Since then, Archangel Michael has not stopped fighting for the glory of the Creator, for the cause of saving the human race.
Archangel Michael is the patron saint of Kyiv and all of Rus' (not to be confused with Russia (Russian Federation); Rus' is an ancient Slavic state with its capital in Kyiv; Russia (Russian Federation) is the former Muscovy (until 1721), a country with Finno- the Hungarian population, the heiress of the Moscow ulus, founded by the Mongol khan of the Golden Horde in the 13th century).
In addition, Archangel Michael is considered the protector of Europe. The so-called "Sword of Archangel Michael" is known - seven sanctuaries in honor of Michael, which are located in a straight line in Europe and the Middle East. The beginning of this sword is in Ireland, passes through England, France, Italy, Greece, ends at Mount Carmel in Israel.
Archangel Michael is considered the deputy of the military, police, sailors, and the sick.)
(Note: Ukraine is currently waging a bloody war for its existence with the brutal occupier, the Russian Federation, while simultaneously defending human civilization from neo-Nazism, Russian chauvinism, and imperialism.)
P.S.
At all times, artists have been inspired by biblical themes, but this song is not like that, because Mother Teresa is not a biblical character. She is our (my) contemporary, who for her deeds was added to the list of saints and became a virgin.
Дякую за детальне пояснення 💛💙
@@user-iy2tp2zv7n 🇺🇦
France, Kroatia and Ukraine were my favourites this year. But if you want to see a impressive camera staging, from this year, you have to see the Finnish performance in the final. First time it went 100% as it should have gone.
Well it actually has catholic imaginery, as the song its called teresa & maria (Virgin Mary and Mother Teresa)
They're orthodox.
The "fireworks" in the backround at 3:16 are pieces of burning white phosphorus
This years songs all pretty strong. A great reason to do a week 2 and round out the top 10
Italy, Armenia, Sweden, Portugal & Greece all very good.
Also Finland if you need to laugh.
And Lithuania! One of my faves of this year
amazing song and performance!
I guess the armor is not Roman, it's rather the Joan of Arc reference)
However, there are plenty of Bible references too))
Вздрогнула, когда снова увидела эти огни фосфорных бомб....Конечно, Tanu Muinjo уникальный , эпический режиссёр, - её многочисленные высокие награды абсолютно заслужены 💛💙!!!
Дякую за увагу 💛💙🇺🇦🙏
My faves this year❤
The singer is Jerry Heil and Heil means healing in German 💙💛
Видно, що далекі від війни і то добре! Просто , про всяк випадок, то фосфорні бомби. Погугліть - то в реальності не так яскраво...
Guys, we would like to hear your rankings after watching every performance. Like you can rate every song out of 10.
and the shadows behind Alyona Alyona when she sings her rap are ancestors
Amazing song! Catchy and beautiful, one of the few that stood out.
And the armor looks more roman than Greek.
There are a lot of talented people in Ukraine, and it would be great if you could review Ukrainian music from time to time 😊For example, Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil released a new song immediately after Eurovision, they chose between "Podolyanochka" and this song with which they performed, I recommend watching "Podolyanochka")
So excited for tomorrow! Meow meow
It’s going to be 🔥 🔥 🐱
MEOWWW😻😻😻
Huh where do they show what they’re reacting to next
From my understanding they are doin the top 5 and BL is number 2@hanslaurens6851
@@hanslaurens6851 they are reacting to the top 5 of the eurovision resluts:)
For me the meaning of the song is even in the darkest time in our life there is a savior the will light up are life once again
Like even when we feel we are losing on a battle Virgin mary and mother teresa was there to guide us and protect us.
Like the war on ukraine and russia there are seeking the guide of the virgin mary through a song they are seeking for protection to god.
To help them on the war
So love and peace to ukraine💛💙
Якщо хлопці переслуховують декілька разів, значить зайшла наша пісня!
When I first heard the song, I wasn’t too blown away. I thought it was good but it was fairly mid in my rankings. However, it definitely moved up after the semi-final. The staging and costuming were powerful and they added a lot to the song. Ukraine definitely deserved their placing in the top 3 this year!
It's the war in Ukraine. The last scene are the victims of the war.
Real hair on both of these amazing women. You could check the English lyrics when you don't understand the language, you miss out so much context.
I like your interpretations! 😄 Greetings from Germany!
You're right about Bible vibes. The song is Mother Teresa and Virgin Mary. They sing that all of the divas were born like human beings.
i love ur reactions!!
Amazing❤❤❤
Дякую за вашу реакцію. Але вогники , які вас зоворожили -це ніби-то фосфорні бомби які щодня летять на Україну.❤❤❤
It is pary for hope, the end picture is the woman of Ukraine who are fighting
How many times we will watch Alyona Alyona? -- Yes🤣
After that comes the Croatia video❤🔥🇭🇷
The song references Maria Magdalena (Mother of Jesus, from the Bible) and Mama Teresa (who is not maybe that holy of a person, but helped many people), but is not about them in any way.
Quote from WIKIPEDIA: According to the duo, the song attempts to inspire hope by implying that divinity exists within all humans as exemplified by the Roman Catholic saint Mother Teresa and the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, who "were born as human beings". The songwriting duo have stated that the song is not about the two figures, but references them to symbolize "charity, love, [and] unification". In other interviews, they have described the song as a reminder that we are responsible for our own destiny, and that happiness is only achievable if one seeks out for it and creates it for themselves. They have also stated that the song was conceived as a message of empowerment for Ukrainian women. In response to criticism of Mother Teresa for her clinics in India displaying a lack of medical care, Alyona defended Mother Teresa stating "she wanted people to live, not die, that's all".
Please check out some of Alyona Alyona's other stuff! Especially Gori w/ Kalush!

Should have won
9:28 Haha Mike, if you just took the f away… 😂 Dying laughing
I would suggest you watch the same acts but from the audience. It’s really interesting.
I get that you guys like to be funny, but to sound 100% ignorant to whats going on in the Ukraine and therefore not understanding that the performance could be related to the war makes me sad.
In the US they are not so affected by the war in Ukraine as people in Europe are, whether politically, economically or emotionally.
Btw, does the war in Gaza make you sad too?
Just a note: the war events make one outraged. Ignorance or playing stupid makes one sad.
Trying to provoke people into an argument by asking about Gaza in this case is just low.
@@bry.olena6559 Selective empathy is called selective empathy produced and reproduced by various discourses and practices based on racist and white supremacist epistemologies. Can't be lower than that.
There are many wars in the world all the time, btw.
I want even more reactions to Eurovision😊
it’s the PHOSPHORUS BOMBS that’s ruzzia’s been launching on Ukraine 🇺🇦 💔
What you are commenting on stage-wise and screens-wise is Swedish production. There's a reason why Sweden is known for impeccable production in Eurovision. If they know how to do something, they know how to do Eurovision.
guys the "fireworks," is a referance to the phosphorence being dropped on Ukraine by russia, the water is a referance to the varhova damn that was blown up by russia
They are trying to remind people about the war and that they want it over! 😢❤
I recommend listening to another song by Kalush & Alyona Alyona - Гори
If you want to hear polish rap, so I think I have to create another Eurovision week including 2014 polish entry.
The raper is alyona alyona and the other singer is jerry heil :)
Fun fact for you. Ukraine national bird is Crane... So kinda works 😅
❤ thank you from Ukraine ❤
They are all the dead people on the floor 😢❤
❤️😍🤩
Predobra Ukrajina!
Hey, where is #4????
Pls do Finland extra pls pls
Kievan Rus was founded by Vikings. Ruotsi is the Finnish name for Sweden, so Rurik and his people , the ancestors of the Ukrainians came from what is today Sweden, mixed with Slavic and Turkic tribes and created Ukrainians
Tomorrow 😻
Excited for after tomorrow. Be sure to react to the staged performance and not the «winner's performance». 👍
Can you do Switzerland nemo the code
Alyona Alyona is pronounsed like in the word "learn" - Alearna Alearna)))
Ermany, Orway and Oland 😂 Inland is also nice 😅
Reference from war
That wat what Ukrainian people have, that’s effect that’s rocket
The semi-final version was better staged, to be honest.
plz do Eurovisioin israel 2024 live perforemence it was so good
Nemo won the judges by a mile. Baby lasagna won the public vote. If slimane hadn't had a vouce crack in judges show then baby lasagna would have won or him.
It's so funny; thet guys didn't get that that was russians' phosphor bombs on Ukrainians.
La mejor actuación de ucrania de su historia en eurovisión
It seems to me that the secret is that they speak Ukrainian. I listened many times how Ukrainians speak and all of them, it seems to me, sing very well, they have a very beautiful language, although complex.
Third
Croatia and armenia pls
Maxwell top 5 week
1) bad habit
2) lake by the ocean
3) let's not play the game
4) this woman's work
5) ascension ( don't ever wonder
Btw, Ukraine won 3 times for short time.. and Ukraine alalway 😊in top 5
Vaaaau amazing cool vaaaau Ukraine the best. Beautiful. Respect. 😊😊😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
