The more I hear this song, the more I'm really liking it. Especially because I am massively into language acquisition and cultures, currently learning my 7th language and its just so different in a refreshing way to see things that are outside of what I was raised with in England. Good job Netherlands :)
love this song so so much 🥰🥰🥰 it’s so different to anything I’ve heard in Eurovision. This feels so true to him, and the live performance was even better imo! Leoooo I want to give you a big hug🤗
I can honestly say this is one of the best Eurovision songs ever! I fell in love with it the first time I heard it! The voice, the lyrics, the dancing are all just perfect. Well done Netherlands!
I love this. Best entry in eurovision in almost ever for me. Even though i’m a proud swede over many of our entries - this is my jam. It’s so soulful with an amazing soul singer. Don’t care of it wins or not, as this is better than what eurovision has produced almost ever for me. This is just my opinion and what i love 💙💛
This song is very uplifting and is needed this year. We were missing some culture this year. This is amazing. I also agree with Alesia about Israel needing to bring some Ethiopian to her song.
The UK, Ireland and Australia are exactly the countries I'd expect to give a decent amount of points to The Netherlands this year, so I am not surprised the Irish, Australian and UK people like Jeangu's song. The UK, Ireland and Australia like originality (just a guess, correct me if I am wrong). There are 36 songs revealed (37 if Belarus counts) so far and The Netherlands is according to my taste 17th. Birth Of A New Age is definitely not a winner, but also not a bottom 5 entry.
Like Miceal, Grow was my favourite last year. I love this too, even though I'm not sure if it will again be favourite. It's so powerful, uplifting and authentic. I'm very proud of my country's entry!
Not a “typical” Eurovision song but it stands out in the celebration of diversity ...and that’s where it’s all about, to enjoy the full range of creativity.
The 300th like, does this mean maybe good luck for the eurovision song contest this year for Netherlands for him. We can do it Netherlands. 👏👏👏🇳🇱 One of my fav reactions to an entry and in particular on Netherlands' entry on TH-cam.
@@leorowell I’m not good with Eurovisiony songs unfortunately!! 🙈 But this could blow us away. It could be euphoric with the right choral sounding backing! 🤞🏽
I really like the Afro-Surinamese elements (drums usually make me go ‘whut??? Nice!’ and they certainly did that here). I’m a sucker for happy tropical shite and this ticks that box. Not Eurovisiony you say? Indeed. Do I care? Nope. Do I really care if it ends up last? I’d be disappointed but what really matters to me is whether I like it or not. I like it very much 👏👏👏
I m form the netherlands im curious what the gonna do with the staging, the song is catchy but i think most people will not understant the message right away. So i think its a good song but we are going to be in the bottom
I'm not that worries about the message not being understood as with the live presentation they translated the chorus to english and I think we will see that in some vorm the Eurovision performance as well. When you know that part the message is quite clear in my eyes.
Actually I wanted Grow v2. If he'd put more sentences in Sranan Tongo, I'd be OK. Very repetitive, it weakens the song unfortunately. Think this won't escape from the curse of host countries and will be in bottom 5.
Maybe we should adjust the ESC a bit. So that in qualifying a country is allowed to do a different song from the final. Just with the same instruments, singers ect.
As a dutch person myself I am damn proud we send this in. Not the generic love crap you see most years, no shalalie shalalala bullcrap but a true artistic song with a strong message
Im glad with this song as well. Im soo glad we did something completely differnt.. i love it.. cant get it out my head and a strong message too. Damn proud!!

Finally mature responses
This song is so interesting. Its bizarre why so many people are either loving it or completely hating it. I really enjoy. ❤️❤️❤️
Love from the UK

I like it so much more than ‘Grow’ I don’t know why it’s so underrated
Leo, my guy, me too. I don't know why, but I burst into tears as well. The song just felt significant!

"It's pure love and joy." Spot on.
Happy to see some more positive reactions to this song! Absolutely love it!
with a good staging i can see him go very high on the scoreboard. thank you so much for this video.
This song is very uplifting and is needed this year. We were missing some culture this year. This is amazing.
I also agree with Alesia about Israel needing to bring some Ethiopian to her song.
Great reactions.. Thank you Eurovision Hub ❤️
ALESIA THIS HAIR IS SOOO GOOD
Thank you 🙏🏾
Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 underrated song.
MUCH LOVE FROM THE NETHERLANDS ❤
Jeangu song is masterpiece what a voice and song !!!!
Suriname 🇸🇷
I’m in the ‘infinitely better than last years song’ camp. I just didnt get Grow last year, whereas I totally get his song for this year 👏👏👏🇳🇱

As a netherlander I respect all of your opinions❤️🔥
Loved it!Thanks for your honest opinion!😊
It’s not my favorite song, but I’m proud to have this represent my country. Why not take a risk when hosting the contest🙂
I was crying too ♥
I know a LOT of people agree with Julia. I don't get it - it hits me right in the feels, and I just wish it connected with more people like that.
Like Miceal, Grow was my favourite last year. I love this too, even though I'm not sure if it will again be favourite. It's so powerful, uplifting and authentic. I'm very proud of my country's entry!

The last minute is so good and powerfull
A masterpieace
This is a great song, and makes me a proud Surinamese

Welcome in Rotterdam 2022 (!) again : this song is the Big Winner for 2021 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Thanks guys ;)
Kop op Nederland 😍😍😍
2:23 Well said, Miceal!
I love it. I’m with Leo, it’s uplifting and emotional and not at all Eurovisiony so the perfect song for me! 🧡
‘Eurovisiony’ is my new favourite adjective 😘 I just felt it was completely different and has the potential with the right staging to come alive 🙌🏼💕
@@leorowell I’m not good with Eurovisiony songs unfortunately!! 🙈 But this could blow us away. It could be euphoric with the right choral sounding backing! 🤞🏽

The more I listen, the better it gets. (Had the same with arcade)
Alesia you look beautiful!
Ah! TY TY 🤗
Netherlands, the kings of carbon copied rock songs, has sent the most original song ever in Eurovision this year. 😳
This honestly sounds like an interval act song. Mind you a very good one, but not a song made for competition. I do hope it does well.
Waitin' for your reaction to Serbia🤩
I like it a lot ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
The studio version is so much better than the live version. Hope he can improve by May.
It sounds good man, I like it’
I m form the netherlands im curious what the gonna do with the staging, the song is catchy but i think most people will not understant the message right away. So i think its a good song but we are going to be in the bottom

Sorry all the other amazing Talents, Jeangu is my Winner!!!
in its merit it is not THAT bad, but it's not as good as 'Grow'. but I love how he incorporates his background's languague.
Leo💖💖💖
The Netherlands 12 points
i love it
Actually I wanted Grow v2. If he'd put more sentences in Sranan Tongo, I'd be OK. Very repetitive, it weakens the song unfortunately. Think this won't escape from the curse of host countries and will be in bottom 5.
The curse from after Ireland won 4 times in 5 years you mean? 🤣
The studio is decent, but live this fell flat a bit imo
they are gonna think that true with the live version it was his first time live and its always
Maybe we should adjust the ESC a bit. So that in qualifying a country is allowed to do a different song from the final. Just with the same instruments, singers ect.
Miceal, how do you I pronounce your name? Hahaha
Leo marrie me
Many people in the Netherlands don't like this song . There are bether artist and songs in the Netherlands.
Netherlands dont want to host again lol
In due time
It screams last place-an OK song that everyone will forget
Sorry but bad i am dutch we got a lot people and we send this.
well, it's okay to have your own opinion ofcourse. I'm just proud we got to send one of the most unique entries in ESC ever :)
As a dutch person myself I am damn proud we send this in. Not the generic love crap you see most years, no shalalie shalalala bullcrap but a true artistic song with a strong message
Im glad with this song as well. Im soo glad we did something completely differnt.. i love it.. cant get it out my head and a strong message too. Damn proud!!
Lets just be honest....This is really average
LOL it's not
Boring
