@@JadedKate this is because it's not technically possible to set the stage, sound, instruments for every of 25 bands plying live during one event, they would have to do like 15 mins breaks after every performance.
The Ukrainian's song has a wonderfull message in it. It basically Is a prayer to Shum, a pagan god, to call forth spring and end winter: spring, as a new beginning, after this pandemic (Winter) for all Europe and the world. I love that song
It's a pagan song, but Shum most likely meant "Forest" in the old Slavic language. It still has this meaning in some Slavic languages (like Bulgarian).
@@daniellesaha Well at least you also confirmed the stereotype that Canadians are nice lol There’s no way an US citizen would have admitted the mistake so quickly 😂
The Ukrainian song is one of those songs where when you hear it for the first time you just kind of sit there, like... "what am I hearing right now?" but you can't help but think it's just a little bit lit. Then you hear it for a second time, knowing what you're getting yourself into, and it's just utter perfection from start to finish.
A rave that started with Lithuania right? 😂 While I was watching I had to get off the couch and dance with Discotheque, but Ukraine kept me up. It was great!
best Eurovision reaction EVER! You are almost the only people ever to react to Eurovision from North America that managed to get all the facts right, treat the contest with respect, and have fascinating and insightful views into each song! Bonus points for getting the order right too!! If you ever want to review older editions of the contest you should too! Love other fellow Canadian content creators!
hahaha yeah there was that Pewdiepie thing. Good thing Alena was there to correct me right away! appreciate the comment and love the canadian support !
Go_A kinda needs an explantion the lead singer grew up really loving folklore, and her grandmother taught her to sing with the White Voice, a traditional form of Slavic singing she met one of the other founding members at like university, he was kinda into electronic music and the like, and they were both like "you know what really works together? electronic music and Ukrania folklore" and they were right the song they performed is based on a ritual that was meant to bring in the start of spring, they used it symbolically here, to bring in an end of the pandemic, the dancing and singing is all part of the ancient rituals
Tout l’univers (switzerland) is actually a song about overcoming trauma and learning to live and love again. It’s about a stroke of faith and learning to move on...
@@sarascarpati887 he sings "dernière mes paupières ... trouver de l'air" literally "behind my eyelids ... find some air" like finding yourself again, being able to breathe again after you saw only darkness (closed eyelids)
As an American living in Europe, I have spent the past decade falling madly in love with Eurovision. And I seem to waste a hell of a lot of time watching Eurovision reaction videos once the contest is over. Your reaction video has been my favorite! Not only are your reactions genuine, but you actually took the time to listen to/watch each song from start to finish (a lot of people don't), your attitude was super positive, and you were totally open to all the songs (no bias because 'you don't like that kind of music.') I really appreciate that! Thanks for sharing!!!
Okay so some context about Ukraine's song. The singer only has one lung. The lyrics are an ancient pagan ritual to summon Shum, the forest deity, to revive nature and call in spring. The dance was also part of that ritual. They deadass performed a pagan ritual live on stage and I was getting my entire life and more.
Honestly, Iceland's group is so adorable, the band is comprised of his wife, sister, and childhood friends. His wife is also pregnant and performed at Eurovision pregnant.
@@heldersilva6672 Yes, as soon as I heard it I thought "Brel". And it turns out she does cite Brel as a major influence. (Though Jacques Brel wasn't French, of course, so it's Francophone, not just French, passion.)
WHAT?! She literally copied an iconic singer of the 60's from Belgium, Jacques Brel, the type of singing with the aggressive arm gestures is literally Jacques Brel, many people got annoyed at the stolen identity from France. Don't believe me just watch Jacques Brel yourself.....th-cam.com/video/-Z0UGGvb4sQ/w-d-xo.html
@@2Skills4u She didn't steal anything, though we can say she definitely got her inspiration from Edith Piaf, from the song "Padam, Padam". Her gesture is also very close to Edith Piaf. So would you say Edith Piaf stole Jacques Brel's identity too? She went for the very classical old vintage french song vibes, be it Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Gilbert Becaud, Charles Aznavour or Barbara. Jacques Brel from Belgium is still considered to be part of "la chanson française", it's a whole identity and I've seen no one claiming that she made some kind of "cultural appropriation", it would absolutely not make sense.
I'm living in switzerland, and we have the cliche here, that some people that don't no geography well mistake switzerland for sweden, like when somebody says "Switzerland" the other person says "ah, Stockholm", so... Looks like cliches are true sometimes xD

@@alenatm9513 it's true, most Americans are pretending they know everything about Eurovision/music, and are very arrogant/disrepectful towards us, they think they're the best, while the Canadians are more respectful, more honest and enjoyable to watch 🙂. If you ever visit Europe, you'll see that people sometimes will be more respectful when you say you're from Canada instead of the USA. When I need to chose between Canada or the USA, no doubt it will be Canada (and who knows, in the future you get a special invitation for Eurovision, but I'm affraid it's not popular enough over there). Do you speak also French? That's luch easier for me (or Dutch/Flemish haha).

Her reaction even before listening to Italy: “so they are going to be angry?? We need that energy now!” That’s exactly what the whole Europe felt like 😂😂🥰

thank youuu for this video, I really needed this gen z energy, I feel like other foreigners take esc too seriously and don't realize it's all about fun and queerness
I don’t think you mentioned that all the singing is done live. This year they were allowed to have pre-recorded backing vocalists and choirs for the first time (safety precautions), but the main singing is still live. So there’s always a risk that you take a wrong note or sing out of tune - but it makes performances even more impressive when they totally nail it. It adds another dimension to the competition if you know that, at least I think so.
Damiano is also the same age as me and fsr he makes me feel like an innocent teenager crushing on the hot older rebel guy, you know what I mean? The kinda guy you'd hide from your parents lol I'm obsessed 😳
He's like 10 years younger than me but while I'm getting mistaken for a child in local busses, he is out there commanding people like a super alfa... 😂 Makes me feel so confused!
when I hear those slavic vibes in ukrainian song, as a Pole I want to start dancing around a fireplace and actually I did with my friends at the last party 😃
Same here, eveyone is saying how different the song is while for me this is such a familiar melody and vibes :D Poland's song was trash so at least we can be proud of our neighbours!
I’m guessing I got this in my recommendations because I’ve been obsessed with Maneskin but you guys are so freaking hilarious omg hahahaha I felt like I was with my besties watching this
I like that they actually like learning about it and are respectful and nice about the performances, americans aren't really like that, they just laugh cause they don't understand..
As someone who watched Eurovision and can‘t stop listening to all the songs now, this made me so happy to see your reactions. It just made me so proud of the musicians and europe, it’s such a cool thing to see so much different music from different countries.
I don't know if it's been mentioned in the comments but Switzerland's entry is a love song, but he never mentions the gender of the person he's singing to/about (which if you speak french you know is practically iMPOSSIBLE to do). Just a fun fact! Also, you guys' review and energy was everything, thank you! (edit for grammar)
I disagree that it was a love song. At least not to another person. I heard Gjon talking about the song in interviews and he said it was about trusting yourself in difficult times. When he sings “our hearts” I think he is talking to his inner self. Even in the music video, he helps “himself” out of the car crash.
This year was probably one of the strongest Eurovisions ever, so many of them could have won and I would have been fine with it, it was only really the UK, Germany and Spain that were bad and they all got 0 points anyway so it's fine (I also hated Bulgaria's because it was boring but I can recognise it was an ok song)
That "Switzerland -> PewDiePie" is incredible knowing that some people think that the contestant from Germany looks like him in the really early days x)
You have just confirmed my theory that Canadians are the kindest people in earth, I have been in Canada twice and the people are really kind congrats love your video 🥳❤️ from Mexico 🇲🇽
The chemistry between you two is everything the commentary is a vibe and I hope you post a vlog at Eurovision next year. Then y’all can show another newbie friend to Eurovision the songs from 2022 in the same format and get like 500 thousand views
Omg can I just say this is such a wholesome reaction video. Like the way you're both super positive and ALSO the way you make a joke about the stereotype of americans not knowing geography after mixing up sweden and switzerland,, I love it so much. All other reaction videos I've watched of people outside of europe reacting to eurovision have just seemed really arrogant but this is such a genuine reaction. Seriously tysm for being so sweet
as someone from the uk who's been obsessed with eurovision since i was a kid this is one of the best reactions ive seen from non europeans, we love to see it!!
Came here to see you reacting to Finland. Read "top five" in the title. Still watched it. It's so fun to see people around the world reacting to ESC. Still wanting to know your opinion on the Song from Finland. Hope you see this comment.
I am really being honest at first i really didn't like Italy's song at all but after listening it for the second time i am just obsessed with that song it's just so good
OMG This video was everything!!!! I loved how genuine your reactions were and the good vibes you and your friend give. You two together are hillarious! We need to see you react to the rest of the songs please!!!
I’m Canadian but lived in Belgium for past two years and Switzerland the past 6 months and I learned about Eurovision from my Albanian friends this past year and since then I’ve loved it, I wish more North Americans could learn about Eurovision because I think it’s really fun and really entertaining, and I feel like most North Americans even if you don’t follow singing you will still find this entertaining!
Europe when USA people react: oh gosh, here we go again, arrogance towards Europe, again Americans who think the'yre the best. Europe when Canadians react: oh so lovely. If you ever visit, go two different places, say in the first place you're from the USA, and in the second place you're from Canada, you'll immediately see most Europeans likes Canada more 😂😉 Would have no problems to see Canadians (like Australia) if Eurovision becomes also popular over there 🙂
to be fair, I found this reaction also quite... arrogant. I mean, I get it, Eurovision is something else and there's most often definitely no commercial music to be found but it's OUR thing. I guess most non-Europeans just don't get it. That's ok but I'd wish for a bit more respect ^^
The vibe from these ladies is fascinating. The lady on the left reminds me of one of my friends Aylin. Do this every year please, I enjoyed every second of it. Greetings from Belgium
The french song gives me goosebumps everytime I heart it. Je comprends les paroles, ça doit aider aussi... Actually the lyrics are really powerfull because she is begging for the public to love her, as an artist. "Parlez de moi...Écoutez moi" ... "Talk about me... Hear me out...this is who I am and I hope you love me as an artist"
My favourite thing about the 2021 contest was how only one of the top 5 songs was in English English songs tend to dominate the contest, and I'm super happy that wasn't the case that year
okay so it's been some months since eurovision but omg i loved your reaction!! you seemed as excited as i was watching the finale live, the best! this year's eurovision was honestly one of the bests i've ever seen
Not only i love the reaction, but I LOOOOOOOVE the friend dynamic between you and your best friend. Your humour is so relatable and funny, totally Gen Z focused... i love it
I really enjoyed the reactions. Eurovision is hard to explain. And each year is different. This year I would say was really strong. And while I'm really happy for Italy my personal favorite is Iceland. They are just ... everything.
God why are you girls so good tho?? Enjoyed every second of this reaction, especially from non europeans (since you guys didn't born into eurovision culture). The perfect mix of taking it seriously, hyping yourselves up and having fun and taking a piss of the whole thing
Me : Oh these are cute girls they are being so nice and respectful to all the participants. France coming, the girls : "We love Paris oui oui Baguette" Me : ........
I loved your reaction especially when your top 5 was the actual top 5 And the girl on right absolutely loves eurovision it seems 😂 My top were Switzerland then France And gjon's song tout l univers isn't a love song The theme behind the song is construction after destruction , moving forward with life after sadness or devastation , being sincere, true to ourselves and seeing hope as big as the whole universe 🙂
I love Damiano , Vic (blonde girl), Thomas (blonde boy) and ethan .. When daniano stretched out on stage I was going to die . He is so hottt! My favourite their song is Vent'anni !
The French song is actually very french, what I mean to say by that is that they have songs that they sing with an interesting style, they sing parts and they recite parts as they interpret a story and they are talking to the public... It's nice. Lara Fabian did it so well in some songs.
Great video!!! You two have such a good energy and this was really fun to watch. I was searching for a good non-European reaction to Eurovision and you are the best one!
Lovely Canadian gals out here salvaging North America's rep from all the USAmerican reactions that are just straight up ignorant clownery. Y'all are delightful. But yes, Damiano can yell at us all please and thankyou (though i must say Ethan the drummer might be the most beautiful man i've ever seen, when he's not just a mop of crazy drumming hair that is)
This was so entertaining to watch Thank you! This year has been one of my favorite Eurovision years ever. The Televoting this year was crazy. Absolutely love Måneskin now and I am obsessed with every song they have put out. If you ever want to listen to one of their slower songs, I strongly suggest 'Torna a casa' or 'Coraline'. Those are some of my favorites :)

I think one thing that is important to note is that autotune is not allowed in Eurovision. So if they hit the notes, they actually do.
Weird. Autotune isn't allowed, but
playing live instruments also isn't allowed. 🤔
So what do they want; real or fake ? 🤷🏻♀️
Make up your mind, ESC.
@@JadedKate this is because it's not technically possible to set the stage, sound, instruments for every of 25 bands plying live during one event, they would have to do like 15 mins breaks after every performance.

oh wow thanks for letting me know the meaning of the song ! it definitely brings a new perspective !
Shum is not a god though, it’s the embodiment of spring itself as a spirit, it’s the noise that comes together with the revival of nature
Oh thanks for this explanation I was googeling the lyrics and was kind of what does it want to tell us - a perfect song i love it

If you wanna be screamed at, watch Iceland's entry of 2019 :)
I don’t think you mentioned that all the singing is done live. This year they were allowed to have pre-recorded backing vocalists and choirs for the first time (safety precautions), but the main singing is still live.
So there’s always a risk that you take a wrong note or sing out of tune - but it makes performances even more impressive when they totally nail it. It adds another dimension to the competition if you know that, at least I think so.
Damiano is also the same age as me and fsr he makes me feel like an innocent teenager crushing on the hot older rebel guy, you know what I mean? The kinda guy you'd hide from your parents lol I'm obsessed 😳
I’m older and I feel the same😂
He's like 10 years younger than me but while I'm getting mistaken for a child in local busses, he is out there commanding people like a super alfa... 😂 Makes me feel so confused!
when I hear those slavic vibes in ukrainian song, as a Pole I want to start dancing around a fireplace and actually I did with my friends at the last party 😃
As a German I want to dance at some techno rave to it.
Same here, eveyone is saying how different the song is while for me this is such a familiar melody and vibes :D
Poland's song was trash so at least we can be proud of our neighbours!
I’m guessing I got this in my recommendations because I’ve been obsessed with Maneskin but you guys are so freaking hilarious omg hahahaha I felt like I was with my besties watching this
thanks so much!! Maneskin is def my new obsession! thank you so much for your compliments
@@daniellesaha hahahaha glad I’m not the only obsessed 👀
I needed this kind of funny and genuine reaction so muchhh, amazing video
thanks for much !! glad you enjoyed the video
You need to react at "I Wanna Be Your Slave & Zitti E Buoni" live. I mean.....DAAAAAMN
YAS YAS YAS YASSSS
THISSSSSSSS
😍🥰🔥 Maneskin 🤘 love 🖤👑🇮🇹👍
This perfect reaction only proves that Canadians are not American but very much European
I like that they actually like learning about it and are respectful and nice about the performances, americans aren't really like that, they just laugh cause they don't understand..
This is why we want Canada in ESU but not USA
You guys are genuinely hilarious and so likable ❤️ Shout out to youtube for finally getting the recommendation right
omg my heart !! thank you so much ur so kind 😭
"She's wearing pants. And I am wearing pants"
On same vibe mood
As someone who watched Eurovision and can‘t stop listening to all the songs now, this made me so happy to see your reactions. It just made me so proud of the musicians and europe, it’s such a cool thing to see so much different music from different countries.
I don't know if it's been mentioned in the comments but Switzerland's entry is a love song, but he never mentions the gender of the person he's singing to/about (which if you speak french you know is practically iMPOSSIBLE to do). Just a fun fact! Also, you guys' review and energy was everything, thank you! (edit for grammar)
I disagree that it was a love song. At least not to another person. I heard Gjon talking about the song in interviews and he said it was about trusting yourself in difficult times. When he sings “our hearts” I think he is talking to his inner self. Even in the music video, he helps “himself” out of the car crash.
Feel like I'm sitting with my girls,chilling and watching Eurovision) Love it!
omgggg stoppp
This year was probably one of the strongest Eurovisions ever, so many of them could have won and I would have been fine with it, it was only really the UK, Germany and Spain that were bad and they all got 0 points anyway so it's fine (I also hated Bulgaria's because it was boring but I can recognise it was an ok song)
That "Switzerland -> PewDiePie" is incredible knowing that some people think that the contestant from Germany looks like him in the really early days x)
I didn't even notice the variation of genres in the top 5 until this video, they're all very different moods as well! Nice!
SHUM is my summer jam even thought I have no idea what she is saying - I can't stop listening to it
basically about winter ending and summoning spring, at least that's what I got from a translated lyric video :)
You have just confirmed my theory that Canadians are the kindest people in earth, I have been in Canada twice and the people are really kind congrats love your video 🥳❤️ from Mexico 🇲🇽
hahaha ur so kind!
"cheekbones"
"Just angles everywhere"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I enjoyed every minute of your reaction! 😂😂
Regards from Spain!!! 🤩
The chemistry between you two is everything the commentary is a vibe and I hope you post a vlog at Eurovision next year. Then y’all can show another newbie friend to Eurovision the songs from 2022 in the same format and get like 500 thousand views
Hear me out:
Iceland: Napoleon Dynamite
Italy: Almost Famous
Ukraine: Tron Legacy
I can't stop laughing you both are so funny you should start doing commentary videos...
Rewatching this because I need another one for this year haha
Omg can I just say this is such a wholesome reaction video. Like the way you're both super positive and ALSO the way you make a joke about the stereotype of americans not knowing geography after mixing up sweden and switzerland,, I love it so much. All other reaction videos I've watched of people outside of europe reacting to eurovision have just seemed really arrogant but this is such a genuine reaction. Seriously tysm for being so sweet
Switzerland hands down! His voice is so angelic and the song is beautiful 😍 Ukraine is my second favorite, very mysterious and different
those circles in ukraine perfomance were electrical tambourines
you guys have the biggest gen z energy and I'm so here for it
as someone from the uk who's been obsessed with eurovision since i was a kid this is one of the best reactions ive seen from non europeans, we love to see it!!
The energy between you guys is EVERYTHING!!!!
Sister deserves 12 points from Europe 🇪🇺
Came here to see you reacting to Finland. Read "top five" in the title. Still watched it. It's so fun to see people around the world reacting to ESC. Still wanting to know your opinion on the Song from Finland. Hope you see this comment.
I’m still not over eurovision, so many interesting acts this year c:
I am really being honest at first i really didn't like Italy's song at all but after listening it for the second time i am just obsessed with that song it's just so good
yall, we need a reaction to all the songs cause i loooooooooooooooved this video
OMG This video was everything!!!! I loved how genuine your reactions were and the good vibes you and your friend give. You two together are hillarious! We need to see you react to the rest of the songs please!!!
Ok, you two need to meet up for Eurovision reactions next year - and I'm looking forward to following your trip to Italy next year.
I’m Canadian but lived in Belgium for past two years and Switzerland the past 6 months and I learned about Eurovision from my Albanian friends this past year and since then I’ve loved it, I wish more North Americans could learn about Eurovision because I think it’s really fun and really entertaining, and I feel like most North Americans even if you don’t follow singing you will still find this entertaining!
Honestly the best reaction to this year’s ESC I have seen… the two of you are hilarious and talented. Thank you, keep it coming
Europe when USA people react: oh gosh, here we go again, arrogance towards Europe, again Americans who think the'yre the best.
Europe when Canadians react: oh so lovely.
If you ever visit, go two different places, say in the first place you're from the USA, and in the second place you're from Canada, you'll immediately see most Europeans likes Canada more 😂😉
Would have no problems to see Canadians (like Australia) if Eurovision becomes also popular over there 🙂
to be fair, I found this reaction also quite... arrogant. I mean, I get it, Eurovision is something else and there's most often definitely no commercial music to be found but it's OUR thing. I guess most non-Europeans just don't get it. That's ok but I'd wish for a bit more respect ^^
@@rainbow3320 How was this reaction arrogant at all?
@@yorampaar2011 theyre making fun of some of the songs
@@berlinstoli6326 but... that's what we do too? I mean all the jokes about taking a pee break because ballad? And Germany 0 points?
@@sisuguillam5109 I'm from Germany and we always joke about what kind of dumb song they're gonna pick for Germany every year😂
The vibe from these ladies is fascinating. The lady on the left reminds me of one of my friends Aylin. Do this every year please, I enjoyed every second of it. Greetings from Belgium
The french song gives me goosebumps everytime I heart it. Je comprends les paroles, ça doit aider aussi... Actually the lyrics are really powerfull because she is begging for the public to love her, as an artist. "Parlez de moi...Écoutez moi" ... "Talk about me... Hear me out...this is who I am and I hope you love me as an artist"
My favourite thing about the 2021 contest was how only one of the top 5 songs was in English
English songs tend to dominate the contest, and I'm super happy that wasn't the case that year
You both are just so adorable to watch, thank you for the reaction. :) Alena is actually quite good with the explanation! It was fun to watch overall.
"Italy was the one yelling at me "
well sis they are the ones that won-
As a European I've been addicted to Americans reacting to ESC for the past weeks. And yours was just perfect, the best by far :)
they’re canadian😭
your reactions are awesome and not cringy at all omg I LOVE YOU BOTHHHHHH
PLEASEEEE REACT MORE EUROVISION
okay so it's been some months since eurovision but omg i loved your reaction!! you seemed as excited as i was watching the finale live, the best! this year's eurovision was honestly one of the bests i've ever seen
Watching them is like being the third member of a trio who is just happy to be there. They grab you in and you never want to leave
Damn, 2021 was such a great year :o
I died at “ok but yell at me”
I think we all felt that besties
Not only i love the reaction, but I LOOOOOOOVE the friend dynamic between you and your best friend. Your humour is so relatable and funny, totally Gen Z focused... i love it
I really enjoyed the reactions. Eurovision is hard to explain. And each year is different. This year I would say was really strong. And while I'm really happy for Italy my personal favorite is Iceland. They are just ... everything.
Lena is me knowing everything about Eurovision, even facts that performers don't know 😅✨
God why are you girls so good tho?? Enjoyed every second of this reaction, especially from non europeans (since you guys didn't born into eurovision culture). The perfect mix of taking it seriously, hyping yourselves up and having fun and taking a piss of the whole thing
Me : Oh these are cute girls they are being so nice and respectful to all the participants.
France coming, the girls : "We love Paris oui oui Baguette"
Me : ........
You guys should do bottom five, that would be hilarious
I've been watching eurovision reactions for the past few years and
you've given the best reaction to this show I've ever seen
I loved your reaction especially when your top 5 was the actual top 5
And the girl on right absolutely loves eurovision it seems 😂
My top were Switzerland then France
And gjon's song tout l univers isn't a love song
The theme behind the song is construction after destruction , moving forward with life after sadness or devastation , being sincere, true to ourselves and seeing hope as big as the whole universe 🙂
Reaction "Torna a casa" , "Caroline" and "Morirò da Re" of the Maneskin!!! Very beautiful songs!!!
I love Damiano , Vic (blonde girl), Thomas (blonde boy) and ethan .. When daniano stretched out on stage I was going to die . He is so hottt! My favourite their song is Vent'anni !
This is hands down the best reaction video I've seen, and I am on a days-long binge! Perfect. Thank you!
The French song is actually very french, what I mean to say by that is that they have songs that they sing with an interesting style, they sing parts and they recite parts as they interpret a story and they are talking to the public... It's nice.
Lara Fabian did it so well in some songs.
Great video!!! You two have such a good energy and this was really fun to watch. I was searching for a good non-European reaction to Eurovision and you are the best one!
Lovely Canadian gals out here salvaging North America's rep from all the USAmerican reactions that are just straight up ignorant clownery. Y'all are delightful.
But yes, Damiano can yell at us all please and thankyou (though i must say Ethan the drummer might be the most beautiful man i've ever seen, when he's not just a mop of crazy drumming hair that is)
The amount of videos related to ESC 2021 just tells me this year was
✨ AWESOME ✨
as an european that’s the FIRST and ONLY reaction video i approve that was produced outside of our continent
Thank you for this reaction. You both are so sympathetic, respectful and natural. I would love to see you reacting to every song :D
This was so entertaining to watch
Thank you!
This year has been one of my favorite Eurovision years ever.
The Televoting this year was crazy.
Absolutely love Måneskin now and I am obsessed with every song they have put out. If you ever want to listen to one of their slower songs, I strongly suggest 'Torna a casa' or 'Coraline'. Those are some of my favorites :)
Aaah you two are sweet. I'm glad there was someone to explain Eurovision first and the reaction was so nice too. Keep it up ☺️
Your guy’s energy were perfect, I couldn’t help but laugh along. You should consider doing a video reacting to the Grand Finale, it would be epic 💙
the way i GASPED when you ranked them i was like omg how did she nail it like that
