Maybe I was sensitive today, maybe it is was the beer, but of all the euro songs this one made me feel highly emotional.. since the first hearing. So elegant pace. One of my three favorites. Nice face profile, by the way.
I am so proud of my country 🇦🇲❤️ I'm proud of her for representing Armenia this kind of high quality, like being 21 and producing this masterpiece is such a talent❤️ thanks for your reaction, sending love from Armenia 😊🇦🇲
To me this is genuinely one of the most modern contemporary songs this year AND it has good lyrics. This is what happens when you let an artist write their own song instead of hiring people that have been rhyming pain with rain, and fire with higher and desire for the past 20 years. It is amazing to see new artists be able to bring their own artistry and authenticity to the contest. AMAZING entry from Armenia.
Actually, after hearing her latest songs, I expected a slower song. Also, if the teaser was telling another story, however, I am really liking this song after 3rd listen
@@QOTV Yes I know, but other countries weren’t. This is the first year for example, where Azerbaijan is having their own songwriters. And Cyprus has been hiring songwriters so much as well
I know you do! Your one of the my main contributors historically on this channel ❤️ I did not know she produced this song! OBVIOUSLY elevates the song for me :-)
I can't wait to see and hear Brunette live - this song has so much performance potential and the chorus was instantly memorable. I also have to mention that she looks stunning in this MV.
Call me CRAZY but I loved the video!!!! 😂 I think this is a really well produced song and video! This is one of the songs that will survive Eurovision because even after the final it will remain in people's playlists.
I can't believe you didn't have a reaction to the shift in the 2nd verse! I was literally sitting here like "just wait, just wait" and then it was just glossed over 🤡. The song builds quite nicely for me and I think there is room for lifting it more with staging. In fact, I can see the potential for this to be a moment in Liverpool so fingers crossed they come with a good staging package! I actually didn't mind the visuals in the mv 😅
Oh no 😮 hahaha I have never had someone pre empt a reaction before hahaha...sorry to disappoint this time Heylin's world. To clarify I DO like the shift 💖
Thank you for your honest reaction. The song "Brunette" actually has a very deep meaning. The girl is singing about the love of her dreams. Not everyone gets to have such true love in life. 
Спасибо🙏 действительно есть диссонанс между клипом и песней. А так же вторая часть просто восхитительна, но много вопросов к первой части! Но в любом случае желаем удачи нашей красавице❤
It's like the music of Bolero. It has a build up from a slower ballad opening, to the louder, faster 2nd stage of a bop, rapping & a dramatic last stage of the song; to have a culminating ending! That’s what makes this song so gripping, enjoyable & appreciated, for people who can understand the necessary, original construction of the song. :) ps: Well it's all very climatic! HAHA 😅
Absolutely agree as for what i know of the Eurovision community, this is a contendor. for me? its sounds beautiful but i dunno the mix matching of themes is tough for me. the music video is Bop, but the songs a ballad. the songs about her future lover but the chorus is about her and how beautiful she is? and the rap took me out of the emotions that i felt build up. HOWEVER! if this was representing my country i'd be crying tears of joy too lol. Love from Ireland 😅❤
The song is not strictly a power ballad. Its originality is within the changes & breaks in singing style, music, instrumentals & genre. Hence the 2nd stage is a faster pace bop with rapping, ending again with, a power ballad. The chorus is of the lyrics "I decide to be good, do good, look good..," this is like the personal MANTRA for her. So she needs to sing this out, over & over again; in order to will it into the Universe, for her to find her perfect "Future Lover," soul mate & for him/her to materialise. :)
Hiya Shane! This is my updated & final critical review of the song & I'm not a musician! In 6 words, ORIGINAL, ABSTRACT, SURREAL, TRANCE LIKE ILLUSION! I wanted to listen to it many times, I had it on replay cz it just goes by so fast. It's catchy in that way, which makes you want to listen to it over & over again, cz it speeds by so fast. It sounds very original & ahead of its time for Eurovision, with abstract chaos, (somewhat avant-garde-ish) to me. There's different BREAKS in the song as well, with the singing, music & instrumentals. Also it's strictly not a power ballad; there's a brief, faster pace of a bop & rapping a bit. I loved the ending in Armenian! It's all very emotional. That's the description I give it & after a lot of listens, I LUV it. There's definitely some kind of a purposeful, originally constructed, disjointed method; chaotic, trance like illusion to the song. It’s just so different. The orchestral, rap & Amenian mixture works really well too! To me, this is like a theatrical masterpiece & the song sounds like a short film soundtrack, it's cinematic & dramatic. Anyway, that's how surreal it makes me feel.. Cheers :)
Once again mate. You’re spot on. Not what I was wanting. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bop or not. Just gimme a tune! They forgot the melody IM humble O. You’re kinder than me.
Even if I am into metal music, I like this song a lot. Probably one of the best ones Armenia prepared for Eurovision. Well done. Greetings from Germany Margarita from Aralez
It's a good song. The song itself and the vocals reminds me of FKA Twigs in some parts. The rap part is really grabbing the attention. It's just a little bit repetitive and without some big moment at the end. But still very pleasant listen, and it has a lot of chances to qualify, in my opinion.
I've tweeted that it hit 80% for me, and it didn't break that ceiling, and I really want it to. I always watch the video, then I don't just to hear it without the visuals. I'm waiting for the studio version and maybe I'll like it better. But for now it's a B - B+, and sitting in the middle of my rankings. And the vocals sound processed and I would like to hear it live without all the filters on it.
Please read this for understand music video and then I hope you love it😊 the video as a manifestation of the singer's dream. "As the song speaks of a future lover, the entire concept revolves around a dream and virtual dimension. The video portrays her attempt to awaken her lover in reality with loud bells. In the dream, where there is no gravity, Brunette is seen effortlessly levitating".
Just curiousity once more 😇, what work do you do that you're so exhausted ?🤔 Secondly, I'm with you, I ADORED SNAP from the moment I heard it!!! And it's still on the radio all the time now, so we were right to love it Shane 😉✌😂 !!!! then, this new song, like you, I was confused and not very engaged at first, but than listened a few more times and now, I really really like it. I LOVE the orchestra too, I miss it SO much that the orchestra is not at Eurovision anymore 😢 AND the fact that she mixes English and Armenian, that's a 10 for me, LOVE THAT ! I am VERY curious about the staging though. Thanks for another lovely and honest comment 🤗
@@ShanesEurovisionReview Don't be silly, I am sure you're wonderful in your job and that there are fun days 🤗! Education is not that bad, I am an English teacher and translator myself 😂😂 But I know, what you mean, it are hard times to work in education nowadays 😕
I’m a big fan of this with how the song is layered and structured; that rap part and then the Armenian to finish is pure quality 🔥 I get where you are coming from Shane in terms of female ballads and this is lightyears better than Alika for me personally However looking objectively i won’t lie that chorus of I decide to be good, do good, look good x4 does have me slightly worried if it will leave enough impact for the masses that will only hear the song one time😥
Hiya Shane! Did you realise that the last bit of the song when she's levitating, is in Armenian? Well, cz you didnt mention it! ahah I wanted to listen to it many times, I had it on replay cz it just goes by so fast. It's catchy in that way, which makes you want to listen to it again & again, cz it speeds by so fast.

Thx for a gr8 2nd reaction! haha :) Cheers ps: If you've seen the movie EEAAO, I felt this is like a song version of it! hehe There's definitely some kind of a disjointed method; chaotic, trance like illusion to the song. It’s just so different. Anyway, that's how it makes me feel..
I enjoyed reading your analysis. Yes I picked up on the Armenian at the end :-) I listened to it about 10 minutes after my reactions (hahaha thanks for the shout out for my 2nd reaction) and I got to say. I'm a big fan of this one 💖
It's a good song, just tough entering a packed field of already favorites. I can squeeze it into my top 20, but higher than that will depend on the live performance.
First of all I was dreaming about you the other night 😁 you were my teacher and we went for a trip (to Poland?) and we were at this huge medival square and suddenly someone played "solo" and you strted to dance and were running around telling people they should also dance hahhaha it was the wierdest dream ever hhaha This song is nice. I like it. As always I have some problems with lyrics, but overall good effort.
Oh Great Guru Shane… I really like this song, just wish the slow part at the beginning was shorter? But who am I to challenge the decisions of the artists. I bet the staging will be amazing… you also managed to crack me up now that you have decided to look away from the camera. Will it be your new thing? 😂😂
I would like to see this live to make a full assessment. But based on this, I quite like it. What I like most about the song is the opening verses with the piano accompaniment and her voice. It's stripped-down, poetic, beautiful. I'm not as attached to the chorus that follows. I'm doubtful about the lyrics "I decide to be good, do good, LOOK good"? I can reconcile with that, but the chorus is not that strong in my opinion. And the rap part hits a little too hard on the finely tuned intro. But I like the energy and drama of this part as an individual part. I also like the orchestral accompaniment here and how it increases in power towards the end. It rounds off nicely with the piano. All in all it's a good song that can grow on me. Especially if it can create an artistic mood with the staging. 🙂🌺
Shane, as a native English speaker, don't you find the lyrics a little bit silly? This song gives me the same feeling I had with "God shut the door" from Vidbir. The song is beautiful but the English lyrics are so strange to me. I kinda wish this song was completely in Armenian.
Hey Miki! Funny you should mention the lyrics because I am actually like them....as a native speaker....they feel more authentic and less generic. I don't mind the lyrics :-)
Yeah, I’m Armenian and I understand what you mean) that’s why native speakers brand this contest as euro trash when everyone tries to sing in English. Have to agree with you. We should send songs in Armenian. We did it once or twice and we got knocked down tho😂
@@elnurhussein9025 I would say that it depends. Last year's "Snap" had some solid lyrical content. It's not bad to write songs in a language that's not your own, but I think you have to be very careful about collocations, idioms etc. Also, no need to be so harsh on your entries. Where I'm from, "Qele, qele" is still sometimes played on TV and radio, even though most people don't know what the Armenian words mean. That song is so fun and infectious, regardless of lyrics. 😂
@@Mikisomi absolutely true. English is a very difficult language (we have to learn it twice-once written, once verbal, needless to say to struggle because of the difference between American and British English, in addition to Irush or Austrakian). English speakers succeeded to make our lives unbearable 😂😂😂😂 I still listen to Qele Qele, too. Where are you from if I may ask?
It's good but I feel like we have a lot of this mid tempo ballad in this semi Cyprus, Greece, Estonia are all in the first half with her. I don't know, it's a bit meh
In relation to this song, its interesting. I was expecting a qami qami type of entry, like an ethnic armenian bop (there was a snippet going around earlier in the week which appears to have been a different song). Due to going into the reaction, expecting a bop, I was quite surprised when I discovered it was a ballad. My first impression was therefore a bit clouded by that and I do still think this, the song for me seems to be a more contemporary pop version of the emotion the netherlands entry is conveying this year, it doesnt sound like a deeply emotional ballad like estonia, spain or Italy but rather is almost going for a vibe. I think sonically, something about this type of vocal reminds me of Billie Eilish or indeed Victoria, in terms of that whsipery tone with dark undertones, the rap section (which completely caught me by surprise) idk why, reminded me of like Eminem in terms of style, not pace. The Armenian lyrics sounds great in the final part. I think I need to be convinced with the live performance because whilst it might move up, I have this as my 15th favourite, which is a little on the low side but tbh i like by top 14-17. I agree, not sure at this moment in time whether the visuals match with the song itself (and I do personally prefer that bluey smoke part to the other visual 😂, it works better imo). I haven't done the audio only test, ill try that out, see if I prefer it 😂. I was thinking did I just convinced myself for no reason that this would be a banger but even in the live chat for the premiere, there were Armenians (im assuming because they already saw it on national tv im guessing) who were saying "this is such a banger" before it officially premiered, it was counting down, like its quality but its not a banger, its a ballad, even with the rap section and the building of momentum in the final part. also, would Spain's be considered a ballad? if so, thats quality.
They should do revamp without the rap part and it can do well. Remember that Bulgaria was 11. in 2021 and that was the strongest year ever. I think this song has potentials, but at this point it looks messy with rap part
well... I have to tell you that I don't agree with your opinion about the music video. I love it all, and the song is SOOOO GOOD... so far is one of my favourites...let's hope have good results. as always I love to see your videos. hope to see you in Madrid pre-party
I LOVED the opening of this song but ultimately ended up very disappointed overall. I gravitate towards strong, memorable melodies (and don't normally like rap), so this isn't doing a lot for me. It's such a shame because the orchestration is so beautiful. Really wanted to love it - but just don't. Yet.
I agree, the beginning is wonderful but then it gets confusing for me. It seems that there is a trend of adding different songs into one this year (other examples being Israel, Austria, and Finland). Also, I have trouble of hearing the words clearly. I don't know if it is her pronaunciation or singing style or my ears (might be as I had a flu recently) or something else, but I had to turn on the captions to get an idea of what she is singing about.. But I think it is ok as an average 😅

It will be interesting how this sounds+looks live. I prefer this over the song from Israel
Potentially a contender to win.
The song is absolutely incredible in my opinion!! almost made me cry ❤️💙🧡

Thank you so much🥰 I saw your reaction yesterday and it's one of the best❤️ 🇦🇲
Thank you so much🇦🇲 and good luck Brunett❤
Jupp, I had the same feeling. (Even if she was singing about smoothies :))

Maybe I was sensitive today, maybe it is was the beer, but of all the euro songs this one made me feel highly emotional.. since the first hearing. So elegant pace. One of my three favorites.
Nice face profile, by the way.

I'm so happy that we got a song like this! It's such a piece of art!
Awwwwwwwww glad you like this one Quinto 💖💖💖💖
Both her and the song are hypnotising 🤯🔥
To me this is genuinely one of the most modern contemporary songs this year AND it has good lyrics. This is what happens when you let an artist write their own song instead of hiring people that have been rhyming pain with rain, and fire with higher and desire for the past 20 years. It is amazing to see new artists be able to bring their own artistry and authenticity to the contest. AMAZING entry from Armenia.
Come for Loreen again and you’ll be in the hospital.

Armenian artists never hired any writers to write their songs.Every artist from armenia is composing their songs.

I totally agree with you, this is something different and special ✌️👏👏👏
We totally needed more balads this year, and this one is quite freshing! I do feel it should have more parts in Armenian :)
Agree👍
I always watch your videos. Love from Armenia 🇦🇲 I just respect her because she produced the song herself. Wish her good luck
I know you do! Your one of the my main contributors historically on this channel ❤️
I did not know she produced this song! OBVIOUSLY elevates the song for me :-)
The music, the voice, the lyrics, the orchestra, the melody, the video, the piano and her composing it herself. A masterpiece.

I was exactly the same as you! I was a bit unsure on first listen, but on second listen I fell in love with it 🥰

Yeah, I’m Armenian and I understand what you mean) that’s why native speakers brand this contest as euro trash when everyone tries to sing in English. Have to agree with you. We should send songs in Armenian. We did it once or twice and we got knocked down tho😂
@@elnurhussein9025 I would say that it depends. Last year's "Snap" had some solid lyrical content. It's not bad to write songs in a language that's not your own, but I think you have to be very careful about collocations, idioms etc. Also, no need to be so harsh on your entries. Where I'm from, "Qele, qele" is still sometimes played on TV and radio, even though most people don't know what the Armenian words mean. That song is so fun and infectious, regardless of lyrics. 😂
@@Mikisomi absolutely true. English is a very difficult language (we have to learn it twice-once written, once verbal, needless to say to struggle because of the difference between American and British English, in addition to Irush or Austrakian). English speakers succeeded to make our lives unbearable 😂😂😂😂 I still listen to Qele Qele, too. Where are you from if I may ask?
I already listened more than twice and still have your first hear reaction 🙈🙈Am I normal??? I’m starting to think I’m not heeeeelp
Hahahaha 😂 I am over ten listens and a big fan hahahaha so maybe ten listens haha? Or maybe....it's just not for you and that is completely fine :-)
@@ShanesEurovisionReview maybe I’m just a “ lost case “ like the doctor says on Mimicat’s entry 😩

Երգը հետաքրքիր է. խորհրդավոր գրավչություն կա և երաժշտության, և տեքստի մեջ, իսկ երգչուհին շատ համահունչ է այդ ամենին ❤
Շնորհակալ եմ Հայաստաի երգչուհուն ներկայացնելու համար։
Mia and Dion's burning daylight is a good slow song too!!
Armenia ❤❤❤🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
Armenian 🇦🇲 power ❤❤❤❤
Interesting! I just wonder, what would happen to Loreen's song if we didn't see the visuals?

BELLISSIMO❤🧡💛💚💙
Thanks 💜💙💚💛
This is not a masterpiece. This is perfection. Let your brain struggle alone please.
ARMENIA 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍
Armenia took a big risk with this one. Risks are what are missing in EV now.
reminds me a bit of "Walking Out", plus a bit of Georgia 2017. I am afraid this will not stand out enough, causing them not qualify.
👌☝️
ARMENIA SUPERRRR
It's good but I feel like we have a lot of this mid tempo ballad in this semi
Cyprus, Greece, Estonia are all in the first half with her.
I don't know, it's a bit meh
In relation to this song, its interesting. I was expecting a qami qami type of entry, like an ethnic armenian bop (there was a snippet going around earlier in the week which appears to have been a different song).
Due to going into the reaction, expecting a bop, I was quite surprised when I discovered it was a ballad. My first impression was therefore a bit clouded by that and I do still think this, the song for me seems to be a more contemporary pop version of the emotion the netherlands entry is conveying this year, it doesnt sound like a deeply emotional ballad like estonia, spain or Italy but rather is almost going for a vibe.
I think sonically, something about this type of vocal reminds me of Billie Eilish or indeed Victoria, in terms of that whsipery tone with dark undertones, the rap section (which completely caught me by surprise) idk why, reminded me of like Eminem in terms of style, not pace.
The Armenian lyrics sounds great in the final part. I think I need to be convinced with the live performance because whilst it might move up, I have this as my 15th favourite, which is a little on the low side but tbh i like by top 14-17. I agree, not sure at this moment in time whether the visuals match with the song itself (and I do personally prefer that bluey smoke part to the other visual 😂, it works better imo). I haven't done the audio only test, ill try that out, see if I prefer it 😂.
I was thinking did I just convinced myself for no reason that this would be a banger but even in the live chat for the premiere, there were Armenians (im assuming because they already saw it on national tv im guessing) who were saying "this is such a banger" before it officially premiered, it was counting down, like its quality but its not a banger, its a ballad, even with the rap section and the building of momentum in the final part.
also, would Spain's be considered a ballad? if so, thats quality.
Spain ballad???? Interesting ummmmmm for my ears I am not sure....safer to put it in its own category haha! 💖
They should do revamp without the rap part and it can do well. Remember that Bulgaria was 11. in 2021 and that was the strongest year ever. I think this song has potentials, but at this point it looks messy with rap part
Isn’t it grown up Malena?😂
Lmao, we have many more in Armenia 😂
You Got “Unconfused” Listening To The Song For The Second Time 😉
Hahahaha in a good way :-) ❤️

Same Here 🙂 🇦🇲 🇦🇲
you need to listen to music, not watch it, we listen in the car, we listen on the radio 😉👌👌👌

well... I have to tell you that I don't agree with your opinion about the music video. I love it all, and the song is SOOOO GOOD... so far is one of my favourites...let's hope have good results. as always I love to see your videos. hope to see you in Madrid pre-party
Please DO disagree with me haha. Yes 👍 I will be going to Madrid. Hopefully see you there 💜
I LOVED the opening of this song but ultimately ended up very disappointed overall. I gravitate towards strong, memorable melodies (and don't normally like rap), so this isn't doing a lot for me. It's such a shame because the orchestration is so beautiful. Really wanted to love it - but just don't. Yet.
I like this version but i can agree with you to. She has nice voice they could have kept it angelic and harmonic
I agree, the beginning is wonderful but then it gets confusing for me. It seems that there is a trend of adding different songs into one this year (other examples being Israel, Austria, and Finland).
Also, I have trouble of hearing the words clearly. I don't know if it is her pronaunciation or singing style or my ears (might be as I had a flu recently) or something else, but I had to turn on the captions to get an idea of what she is singing about..
But I think it is ok as an average 😅
