- Our reaction to "Who the Hell Is Edgar?" - Austria's Eurovision 2023 song from Teya & Salena. We discuss the lyrics, which use author Edgar Allen Poe (Poe, Poe, Poe...) to satirise the music industry, inequity, streaming services and the treatment of female songwriters.

This song is soo creative, mysterious, funny, quirky and excellent at the same time! Austria is sooo good!!! 😃🤩
So this is actually evidence for their thesis xD
I love this so much, it's fantastic. Teya and Salena will be getting much more than just 0.003 from this song.
YES! They deserve to be RICH!
@@Wiwibloggs 🤣🤣🤣🤣if this is a good song ,sorry .....
What Teya and Selena just did is create ART. To take a Poet/writer and use his name as a double entendre meaning in a song is crazy talent right there!! They literally made a fun, quirky song that actually under all the synth and hard hitting bass lies a sinister dark truth about the industry. Notice how they dressed as men at one point of the video too? Female writers tend to have their music pushed to the bottom or have no creative control hence the "Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star" - it's throwing shade. Universal are known to not give creative freedom to artist's as well as take huge chunks of their earnings. It's such a depressing reality but somehow, just somehow, these girls created an absolute masterpiece. I hope Europe learns the backstory of this song and votes for it. I'm scared the meaning is going to be ignored :( - 10/10 from me! Go Austria!!
Teya was competing in Beovizija/PZE (Serbian national selection) in 2019. I'm so happy that she is finally going to sing on Eurovision stage
🥰🇷🇸🇦🇹
2020. exactly
This is the absolute “Art of rearrangement”
It’s like taking all the good qualities of last year’s Konstrakta’s, Subwoolfer’s & Brooke’s entries, blending them altogether in the best possible way (over a topic that both the public AND the jury can relate) to create something extraordinarily unique that you would NOT say that you heard it before.
It’s addictive. There’s a song in my body 🤣❤️
Thank you Austria 🙏
πολλυ καλη τοποθετηση....εμενα μου θυμιζει και αβισιλ καπως το βιντεο κλιπ.....ελπιζω να ξεπερασει το χαζοταγουδο της σουηδιας!
It's in my top 10. Honestly it has winner vibes but the staging must be really good.
I loved both of them when they competed at an austrian singing competition a few years ago. So happy with this song. I can't wait to see them perform it 😁
Obsessed with this .12 points from Liverpool UK ❤️🤍
this song is top 3 for me, love the melody, the voices, the message. thank you austria
This song is like if Falco and Britney Spears just made a love child and I love it to bits. Austria last year then this year just feels like they throw bangers for fun
I love it! The rythm makes me dance 🕺🏼 and Congratulations for the lyrics!! Hugs !!
🇪🇸❤️🇦🇹
This song is as addicting as Netta's "Toy"! I love this! Greetings from Poland!
Teya was competing for Serbian national selection in 2020 as Thea Devy with a song Sudnji Dan.
That is crazy considering how different these two songs sound.
12 points ! 🇦🇹
Fun fact,Selyna is Serbain and last year's France rappresentative Paty is also Serbian, so 2 years in a row we have to singers Serbian for different countries 😎
Teya 🇦🇹 is Serbian & Barbara Pravi 🇫🇷 was part Serbian 🇷🇸
William not understanding the easiest references makes me cackle, lots of love William and Wiwibloggs! ❤
It's a strong and clearly inspired entry!
I really like this🙂 of course Käärijä🇫🇮 is my number1, but this is really good too😍
Loreen Moment like in 2012 ... This will chance the ESC ... Thats a Winner Song
Oh my gosh I love this song so much! Let the chaos bops reign over Eurovision 2023! Good luck Austria!👏🏼👏🏼
Why does William describe every song as sensual/sexual 😂
Because... It's him😂
There is a definite VIBE underneath this!
I hope it is not a disaster live like last year with Pia Maria.+I think the power of Cha Cha Cha will win the televote though Käärijä has now more competition. I love this "Edgar" song but I prefer the energy of Cha Cha Cha
There is a accapella version of it and that sounds pretty good. I don't know about Salena, but Teya already has experience through Beovizija singing live, while Pia Maria hasn't had any experience last year.
@@Marso1337 where we can find this version?
@@high-hopes35 Search for Teya & Salena acoustic on TH-cam and you should find it, it's only 29 seconds but enough
theyre my winners for now :)
This for me is the dark horse at this years Eurovision . All the noise is about Sweden ( one trick pony Loreen ) but for me this is a banger and gets my 12 points 👌
I agree!
It's really hard for me not to dance when i hear this song :)
Finally someone who understands what this song is about. I've been hooked on it since the semi-finals but in every other reaction video I've seen so far, people get to the end of the song and still ask "so Edgar is the type writer?". 🤦
Basic education and media literacy shouldn't be that uncommon.
Oh I want to see ghostly stage tricks, my theatrical a- NEEDS it
So when is the reaction video for Switzerland coming out would love to heare your opinions on the song.🤓
Semi final one is definitely the bloodbath semi, and what a bloodbath 😱. Basically everything is a favourite, aint nothing getting out of there that isn't good 🤭. Semi final two, anything remotely catchy will do well.
That's right, that's why we have a "security" and are in semi 2 and hopefully get to the final!
Can you please tell us if the internal selection of Austria was good?
it's interesting that this song came out after i watched the 'playlist' tv show on netflix about spotify. Actually same storie.
guess i gotta keep an eye out for salenaaa
Are the allowed to sing „Universal“ though? Like isn’t it a brand name and that is not allowed to use in an ESC song?
Love this song, I think it will do really well!
I’ve already lost hope to see the reaction on Monika Linkytė ČIŪTO TŪTO 🇱🇹😅😃
it feels a bit "theatrical"; reminds me of the "What is Eurovision" opening number from the second semifinal in 2016.
We have so many unique songs. So none of those will stand out haha. I actually think the normel songs will stand out more then the unique ones.
True hahaha- hopefully all of the entries have a good staging. That’s actually more ingesting to me how the present it on stage ☺️
Yet people are calling this year weak...
Yeah, I miss normal good pop songs. Like Vicco’s, Kuuma’s and Benjamin’s.😢
@@dimidrugg9592 it is to me
@@-_YouMayFind_- Then why are you saying that we have so many unique songs?
Please can you react to Festival da Canção final songs? Excited to know your opinion xx
Where's the Cypriot song reaction? its been out for awhile
Probably copyright issues
@@darkchocospy7080 meh darn it Panik Records... :/
Coming soon...it's already being edited.
It's more than time to react to CH.
Austria is going to be at finals all the way. Their semi finals are too easy
POE POE POE POE POE POE POE POE
SAY IT LOUDER! HAHAHA
Holy holy the great Pope William has spoken .
Dont forget the basic idea of esc.
No matter how good or bad a Song is.
Everything has its place....😊
Why haven't you guys reacted to festival da Canção (Portugal)? We are waiting for the reaction! 🥲😭 We haven't seen anything about portugal this year, neither the participants or the semifinals ou the fibalists! 👀
Nothing special but okay song...I am glad she is serbian I mean half serbian 🥰
I am wait to you reactions from luka black 😕
Coming soon! Filmed and being edited.
@@Wiwibloggs ...👍👍👍
Pls react to festival da canção final performance
where is the reaction to a lot of countries like Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia
Serbians are this year on point with Bojan (Slovenian entry), Thea and ofc Luke 🇸🇮🇦🇹🇷🇸
Bland songs this year? That's so wrong: Finland, Serbia, Croatia,...
If this was in SF1, it would be borderline qualifier.
The live performance of this song may prove challenging, particularly if choreography is involved, as it heavily relies on auto-tune.
Furthermore, I would like to express that a song's ability to captivate an audience is crucial in determining its success. It is my belief that a song must have the capacity to grow on the listener in order to truly appreciate its artistic merit. Regrettably, this particular piece seems to lack that quality. It is important to consider that the majority of viewers will be hearing the song for the first time, without any prior knowledge of its composition or theme. As such, it is essential to capture the listener's attention within the first few moments of the song, as this will greatly influence their overall impression of the performance. In essence, a song must be able to resonate with its audience within a limited timeframe of three minutes, or risk falling short of their expectations.
I really don't understand you William. There is no melody here. It's not a song. Only oppressive booms. It is terrible
Oky I like the song but don't make it smarter then it is. It's fun and we love it ! But messge seems just lets put it to have something. But we love song
Please send help. This song has taken over my life!! I can’t take it off repeat. 🇦🇹 No. 1
SAMEEE OMG
SAAAAME
the same also.......
The Song is really good! Greetings from Austria🇦🇹
And here is a short sentence for everyone, that's what we say in Austria when something is good:
Des is richtig guat. Gfoit ma👍
schau ma moi 😉
@@alex_takeover Wettquoten auf Platz 9, letztens war dies 2018!
Ein Qualifier auf jeden Fall👍
ist auch ehrlich gesagt echt a guats lied 🔥🇦🇹 passt zum esc !
I think it's safe to say that austria will qualify this year
I think so too
Y'all William didn't lie when he said the song is crazy
YES! haha. this is bananas.
Netta can reach jury's top 3 with that chicken noise. The key is the message👌
This is a fair point. Crazy can work!
@@Wiwibloggs why don't you make a reaction with the Lithuanian representative?
But I don't think the most people will understand the message
(((jury)))
@@jonaskievinas5067 Maybe because the Lithuanian song is boring.
I thought It was bad with the leak but its top 5 Its funny and a BOP Austria great choice
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG❤️😭
Same, the struggle where putting it: 1st or 2nd? 😭 (Serbia my 1st place so far)
@@tony0930 SAME, but finland is my first lmao😭
Same here, became my top 1 ❤
Your reactions are always great to watch! This Austriaentrence is so intelligent! Great in every way. It will go straight up on my top-6 with Croatia, Czech r, Spain, Ukraina and Norway. I will vote for them all (since swedish I can't vote for the Queen of Diviness).
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Konstrakta influenst this years Eurovision so much. Would never expect so much ESC songs to have deep messages like this year
This actually stands out. My favorite beside Finland.
Bye this went straight into my top 3
I too hope, that we (Austria) make it finally to the final again! I just hope and wish, that they (ORF) don't make again such a bad staging performance, as last year. For me Austria should be at least Top 7, if not better :)
This is a bop!!! Dahm good!!!
The lyrics are so good
I'm curious, what were the other songs like in the 'selection'?
There were three that really stood out to me. This, a ballad from Teya, and then a dance number with AMAZING choreography
This is my guilty pleasure this year 😂❤
Where's your reaction to Germany?
Are you going to do reaction on Luke Black’s live final performance?
Filmed and coming soon!
Does anyone else not like this one or am I the only one?...
its in the semi that i can vote on and i feel like i probably will vote for it.
Its such a throwback to songs from the mid 2000s to mid 2010s
I Love Your Reaction William :D Thank You So Much From Austria
But this year you also have to vote for Austria!📞🇦🇹
love this is and bop sure in my top 10 list
for now maybe last countrys will chain it
Hopefully it will do well.
I liked your video alot, it was very informative and you are beyond charming!
React to LUKE BLACK WILL❤️❤️
He already did before he won.
@@lalinica7682 I know, I would like to react to live performance
It's a fun song and is going to do well 😊
It would be nice if you guys could do a reaction on Diljá Power from 🇮🇸😊
Please can you react to estonia? That is such a pearl 🇪🇪
Teya & Salena = Konstrakta + Subwoolfer
My top 5 final prediction
Finland
Austria
Sweden
Ukraine
1 more internal song
Why Ukraine🤔
Serbia is special and great too
@@Scheherasad i think Serbia 2023 will have the same fate as Iceland 2019...
Si eres italiano acuérdate de que no tienes que votar a España...cualquier otra mierda pero a España no,ok?
I don't like the song....
Personally, I really like the song. Where, however, is their live performance of it?
Quirky and fun.......but not fussed if I never hear it again. 🤷♂
The song is okay, maybe a bit boring and I dont want to dance to this. Want more to dance to Umami Tsunami's song Geronimo
Allot is going on in this song, but i do like it :D very experimental and funny. Idk what to expect from the staging though.
please william talks about like lots of fans have not ticket,how is this possible at the least prewiews?
wiliam and deban need to react to serbias entry!!
Bland to beige? Behave William
Joan Rivers is shaking
Love the song and your recitation of the lyrics, William. ❤🤍❤
Minor note but.. "a year of beige and bland songs"? With entries like Finland, Serbia, Czechia and even Croatia in the mix? I continue to be flabbergasted by some of the fan reactions to this year when I think it's shaping up to be one of the most diverse and fun ever
Please don't offend Konstrakta with the comparison...
I disagree with you. I believe that you are in this case biased due to being on the panel.
First: This is not the most memorable song of ESC. It's either Finland or Croatia.
Second: Yes the songs has layers, but so do 50% of ESC songs.
The song is great and all but it's no Konstrakta 2.0. It's a quirky song with a nice beat and some meaningful text, yet even the performers cant take the lyrics seriously and start laughing when singing live (see todays ORF live acoustic version)
It's no personal critic to you, I love your videos. I just think that you are heavily biased. But at least you were fair and pointed it out in the beginning of the video!
I don’t think Finland or Croatia are memorable to me, but, that‘s my opinion only..
Finland's song is bad.
Preach brother (or sister)! This is a very basic, simple song. Nothing impressive or catchy. Not great, but not bad. But everything will be decided by the choreo that will have.
William when you and Deban will react to Luke Black live perforamnce ?
