@@pirimpallopirimpalli4932 It's a typical type of french song. : " Chanson à texte" or a story song if i can translate like that.

And all the talent of this artist is : with this" chanson a texte " she manage to spread her Emotions, symbolisism of great talent.

@@a.s2639 ok, but then if you need to explain it for people to like it maybe you're missing your target. And maybe you can just live with people's tastes. I had read the whole text, the explanation about the chanson genre makes it make a little more sense, but frankly I wasn't so impressed. Especially after I saw the video, sorry, it looks like a Simpsons caricature of a French videoclip.
@@pirimpallopirimpalli4932 well then it can't please everyone it's normal ^^ but most of people like it very much even without understand anything^^ i fu look the comment under her eurovision video
I think all of his confusion is due to him not understanding the lyrics at all. The tempo increases near the end because she’s breaking free from her past full of insecurity and abuse, owning who she is and accepting her perceived shortcomings as something that people will just have to deal with. I think the end is actually perfectly fitting for the meaning of the song.
Yes. my French is not great (there are a couple of words i still struggle to understand) but if you catch the lyrics it definitely makes some (more) sense (even if it remains a bit too much maybe)... and a friend of mine - who doesn't understand french - had the same impression on the ending.... I loved the song. it was definitely one of my top faves. Perfectly in the style of the french "chanteuse" tradition.... Maybe the song would have needed some nice high note - in the style of a Céline Dion, to make an example - it would have been great
@@AriodanteITA yes, exactly! My French isn’t perfect either, but good enough to understand this song. And you’re right, this style is also part of the French chanson tradition, which this dude called a “ballad” at the start of the video 🥴 He might know a lot about music but this video was very much not it.
Even not understanding the lyrics... This guy is clearly very limited. This song's absolutely brilliant in every single aspect. He was expecting a normal structure, just like a pop lab song. This is clearly not a Justin Bieber Hit formula and an open mind is needed to be completely taken by this beautiful peace of ART. Best Eurovision song since Salvador Sobral (winner for Portugal). Period.
This is about character projection as well as the "melody ". Its about how she PERFORMS the song. She isn't a singer. She is a CHANTEUSE. As they say, Voila!
As a french I think that the lyrics explains well better the song. The lyrics tells declares who she is with humility. One of the expression that is great is "se mettre à nu" it's a metaphor to say that she shows her True self and nothing else, nor clothes or accessoires to embellish herself,only who she is. She is herself and wants the love toward her True self. That explains the Journey of the song : getting more and more louder as she proclaims her identity, when you here the claps going with the lyrics it's People cheering and loving her for who she is. The "Voilà" is used greatly because it is user to say " As simple as that". She is as simple as described. The brutal end is as simple as her lyrics because (in my opinion) she doesn't need to embellish it. Her song will stay how raw she wants it to be because she is raw in her lyrics for exemple : "Regardez moi, ou du moins ce qu'il en reste Regardez moi, avant que je me déteste Quoi vous dire, que les lèvres d'une autre ne vous diront pas C'est peu de chose mais moi tout ce que j'ai je le dépose là" Translated rawfully to : "Look at me,or at least what is left of me. Look at me before I hate myself. What to tell you that another won't tell ? It is a little but all I have I will put it here [I the song]". As aLitterature student, I would love to see Eurovision have subtitles because I know you have the rythm you can have as many staccato as you want or as many high notes, what touches me are also the lyrics. The music carries the lyrics and the lyrics also carries the music. As someone who usually isn't friends with many, this song touches my soul because it isn't only about a singer wanting a public. It is a song about accepting someone. However I know why the song sounded strange to you, it is a lyrics driven song. So as a foreign it isn't that adapted to you.Sorry for the essay and my English, I'm writing this at 4AM.
I am a French woman and I can help you for the translation if you want. I am bilingual English. I can write with you a text very close from what she says. Bravo à Barbara pour cette magnifique performance. De l’émotion, un texte magnifique, et votre voix. 🙏🇫🇷❤️🌹
Personally as someone who has limited knowledge in the French language but a great appreciation of all genres of music, this song blows me away, it's simple, beautiful,chiling, emotional and deserved to win. Gives me strong Edith Piaf vibes
When you're confused or in doubt, never forget the space bar. I like it a lot but I'm not objective cause i'm french, well it's been a long time since I liked a french song in Eurovision, usualy I listen the song and immediatly think we're doomed. it has both the traditional old school french song vibe and sometrhing very modern and actual.
I'm not sure that's the finsih it's a mistake. It's exactly like the finish of a fireworks: grow up rythm and finally quick end with a final shot. It's original for a music, but a good effect i think.
It's text-book French cafe style. An unashamed, melancholic and yet life affirming outpouring - a character crying out to be accepted for what and who they are - with all one's faults, one's passions and one's hopes and desires. The crescendo leading to an abrupt stop works perfectly - because that's how life is.
I actually thought that France would win before the votes were given. Whilst Italy was my second favourite, this was my third favourite and I would have been very happy for this to win too 🙂
Yesssss I’ve heard it! I did film it, but time is wearing thin and not sure if I have time to release it or not. I’ll see. Unfortunately I only filmed a few as I was way behind so as of writing this comment I have now heard all of them
What do you mean “It’s built to nothing?” 😯 Most people agree to say the ending is the best part, including mine, it’s very typical of Chanson francaise songs to build up that way and it’s a masterpiece in its genre 😝 Nice reaction anyway, it’s always good to see other people’s POVs. Glad you liked it better than in the very beginning. But I’m just as confused as you when it comes to you hating the ending so much haha 😆 It’s precisely how it goes from calm to euphoric that’s captivating
billie performed "your power" live for the first time yesterday, I would love to hear you breakdown the recorded version and the live too, also watch the mv because the visuals are amazing!!
It's sooo very French! XD I like it, a lot actually, but I doubt it will do that well in the contest. Ah well, I'd rather we lose with a song like that, than do well with a bland or too curated one that could come from any other country without any difference. This works for me! :D
A suggestion for another artist that you may like is "Ronnie Radke" from "Falling in reverse" His vocalrange and control is beyond this world imo and it would be really interesting to get an Reactionalysis on some of their songs like "The Drug in me is reimagined" or "I'm not a vampire Revamped"
Not my cup of tea, but i can appreciate the artistic nature of it. She's not only using music, but a lot of visual effects too ( her gestures, the lights and shadows, etc. ). I think that the main problem is that the song is too short. If you recall, Pull Me Under by Dream Theater also has an abrupt ending, you can use that sometimes. But DT built that song for 8 minutes, while this one has only 3. Maybe with 2 more minutes to add more instruments in an escalated way ( first the piano, then the strings, then the choir, then more intruments, etc. ) you can feel the build up some more before the end. With only 3 minutes, this feels rushed. Not that is a bad thing, we both recognize there is talent here and there will be people that love it, maybe that's just how it feels for us. We made you listen to too much prog and now short songs are not enough hahaha! PS: I was about to remind you to react to Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope, BUT there's a band that came up with a new song just last week and it's AMAZING, and maybe you want to react to it while it's still fresh. Lord of the Lost - Priest. You have the official video in the Napalm Records channel, you'll find it immediately. So IF you want to do that one, then Ne Obliviscaris can wait. But just this time lol. Keep up the good work, Mike!
As an American, this song should have won. And it's one of the most beautiful songs sung by a fantastic singer. If I were a movie director, I would have taken her in my next movie -- just for her expressions and expressive singing with raw emotions and power! Mark my words, she will be more famous and sell more albums than many Eurovision winners, who usually are lost or forgotten within 2-3 years after winning.
There are many good songs this year. Honestly i have no idea what it takes for a song to win but she sings beautifully and we'll see how it is performed on stage because it doesn't seem all too flashy so perhaps less visually memorable? her voice and the chorus do make up for that though. All in all im still rooting for either Ukraine or the mountain goat 🐐😅😂 Was kinda late on the vid but I glad i got around to watch it 🤟🏻🤟🏻 Also how did your move go?
Thanks so much!! Yess it went really well. Still setting up my new studio so it’ll be a while! Love this year’s songs and Ukraine is my favourite this year! Italy second, France third 🙂
@@TheMuserResolute nice that the move went smoothly👌🏼. Organizing the new space is quite the chore so take your time on that 😅 And heck yeah Ukraine for the win🤟🏻 Hmmm not sure who my second or third are because I enjoyed more songs than i thought I would 😅 but Italy is deffinetly one of those.
I'm always a bit confused by the difference of 3/4 and 6/8... couldn't you just only play 8th in 3/4 and quarters in 6/8 and it would be the same? Loved the video as usual
Thanks! I believe now this one is actually in 3/8 😆 True both 3/4 and 6/8 have 6 eighth notes but the difference is in the grouping. 3/4 has 3 groups of 2 (so there’s an overall feel of 3) whereas 6/8 has 2 groups of 3 (so an overall feeling of 2). Think about it this way. 3/4 - Count to 6 and tap a beat on 1, 3, and 5 6/8 - count to 6 and tap a beat on 1 and 4. This is where you’ll feel the difference
I'm very often confused with that genre of french music. I am french, and we don't hear songs like this anymore in France. But when we do I am often stuck between liking and disliking it. I don't know why 😅 PS: The singing/talking thing you were talking about is something some french artists do. It's sometimes between singing and talking (like here), and sometimes it's purely talking poetry over music (called "slam", by artists like Grand Corps Malade)
This piece looks like a tribute to Edith Piaf and her style of singing. I would agree with other comments that you should evaluate this piece from the perspective of a whole because it's not an instrumental piece only. Usually in any thoughtful songs the lyrics influence the melody, tempo and rhytm. We hear it, understand it or just feel it uncounsciously when we understand the language. That's my personal motivation to learn some french, german and russian... :)
Hey! Thanks so much for watching. I fell very far behind on my Eurovision content that I won’t be doing much. I have listened to this song outside of filming and was not as impressed in a first time listening as I was with Tears Getting Sober. That being said, it has grown on me!,
I love the song but I also feel the end could be more rounded. However, this song will stand out because of that unfinished feel. Almost inviting televoters to want to hear it again. (jury votes are in the bag, surely)
@@zepoissondu4510 I had already checked out the lyrics and the translation way back when it was released. My concern was for the casual viewer on the night. However, it appears that they, and the juries, got the gist anyway. On another year 499 would have easily been enough. I want to feel sorry for Barbara, but I shouldn't. I suspect she will become a big star while Maneskin may gradually fade into oblivion.
You'd have to understand french for you to like this specific type of singing. It's very "Jacques Brel" like, lyrics play a big part in the performance
😆 yeh, it just didn’t go in a way I expected it to, not in a good way. That being said, after hearing it many times I now like it! Day 1 of me responding - yup! Keep commenting and I’ll definitely get to it :p
En voilà un qui est enfermé dans les stéréotypes des chansons anglo-saxonnes au début... mais voilà, le charme peut opérer. Et dire que j'ai failli m'arrêter à 30sec. et mettre un dislike, désolé à mon tour.
As much as I like French music, I don't like this song. It just sounds like something I've been hearing since I was a little girl (although a song like this could have been written in the 50-ies or even 40-ies). Barbara is an amazing singer and the concept behind this song is nice, but it does nothing for me.
Music is nice but her ending is really strange. she didnt hit the notes many many times especially in the end. She lacks charisma so when she is compared to Edit Piaf it is an offence to Edit Piaf. I cant listen to it though i love french national music. This one is by far not the best, other singers with strong voices and memorable music didnt get much votes. The video with national election didnt get a lot of views, so her 2 place is odd. But thats eurovision so okay. Anyway🤪
Well I am french so what I am going to say is not patriot at all :/ The song is quite okay and yes singing in the traditional way, but the performence is too much, the lyrics are quite poor and Damn stop trying to imitate Edith Piaf ! The voice of Barbara Pravi is nice but she is not a voice singer and she sing a song made for a powerful vocal, I think there is a problem here.
"Too many words" You must like listing noises, not real, meaningful SONGS. You didn't even bother to search for the lyrics translation but you still made a reaction of it....
What is wierd to me : - The Italian rock band won with a performance of a great mix of very conventional ingredients of rock standards (which is somewhat a non sense for the Rock spirit). - Apart from that, the second winner Barbara is the true rocker of the évent IMO. I mean she brings an unusual and unconventional content to an evermore globalizing domain (cultural, multimedia show, main stream broadcasted évents). Secondly, as a french, what is less rock in Voilà : the style (performance style between chant and parlé) is quite frequent in French folk local music, and the core style of the song borrows very much of the older iconic Édith PIAF. Anyway, Barbara does a great and successful job to refresh public's ears with incontournable pièce of French culture. Voilà is anyway and intrinsicly a Masterpiece as a song in songwriter style, Barbara is giving to people a tour of French culture, a self introduction, her art, and a view of the French mindset and lifestyle : a culture wide obsessional self centric introspection, identity issue, self acceptance, acceptance by autrui, natural way/simplicity/transparency. The paradox is that many things in the French universe are all but simple and intuitive. Just look at the complexity of the œuvre of Barbara... This is the charm of French culture !
Great explanation. Thanks. I know a bit about French culture but that was really educative. I’m sure her music will be greatly appreciated long after this competition. I was touched by the song for sure.
Man… do you know ENYTHING about french music?? It’s a total Classic - did you ever hear about edith Piaf? Oh my god… this reaction is such a shame for you… i just cannot believe it
Thanks for this reaction 🙂 As a French, I see it as very old school french singing, a bad copy of Edith Piaf. I shouldn't be surprised as the level of french mainstream music is really low today. The golden age of the 70's and 80's is definitely over 😢
Ras le bol de voir la France représentée par toujours les mêmes clichés de piaf. On est plus dans les années 40. Et on se promène pas avec des bérets sur la tête et des baguettes de pain sous le bras 😡
I had to actually think about how much I liked this song. I mean, I knew I liked it, but couldn't figure out how much so when I first heard it. But it completely stuck with me and before long I knew it was my favourite this year - amongst a few other really strong contenders as well.
"to much words in short times" as french man, it's really fluent actually, it's the normal speaking speed for us.
yeah, but this shouldn't be speaking, it's supposed to be a song.
And my French is limited, but don't all those words boil down to "Here I am, I'm singing"?

3/4 - Count to 6 and tap a beat on 1, 3, and 5
6/8 - count to 6 and tap a beat on 1 and 4. This is where you’ll feel the difference
Ah okay, I think I get it now, thanks!
@@starlon906 all good! Let me know if you need any more info 😊 it’s just basically about where the main stresses are
How was your move btw?
This song was made for this. Slowly build your emotions and at the end lef you with nothing.
He wants to turn the song into something more common to his ears and that he has already listening to, instead of trying to appreciate like it is.
I wish that were the case 😆. This was my third favourite. What an awesome result she got!
This nummer doesn’t need being analyzed, close your eyes and your heart breakes. Are keep your eyes open and become in love.
FRANCE is the BEST this year !!!
🍷🥖🇫🇷
I'm very often confused with that genre of french music. I am french, and we don't hear songs like this anymore in France. But when we do I am often stuck between liking and disliking it. I don't know why 😅
PS: The singing/talking thing you were talking about is something some french artists do. It's sometimes between singing and talking (like here), and sometimes it's purely talking poetry over music (called "slam", by artists like Grand Corps Malade)
Je me sens exactement pareil. I feel exactly the same.
Ça change et c’est pas plus mal .
@@Biboul138 Tout a fait 😉
This piece looks like a tribute to Edith Piaf and her style of singing. I would agree with other comments that you should evaluate this piece from the perspective of a whole because it's not an instrumental piece only. Usually in any thoughtful songs the lyrics influence the melody, tempo and rhytm. We hear it, understand it or just feel it uncounsciously when we understand the language. That's my personal motivation to learn some french, german and russian... :)
Can you react to "Growing Up Is Getting Old" by Victoria? It is the Bulgarian entry for this year.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching. I fell very far behind on my Eurovision content that I won’t be doing much. I have listened to this song outside of filming and was not as impressed in a first time listening as I was with Tears Getting Sober. That being said, it has grown on me!,
I love the song but I also feel the end could be more rounded. However, this song will stand out because of that unfinished feel. Almost inviting televoters to want to hear it again. (jury votes are in the bag, surely)
You have to understand the lyrics to understand ! It makes more sense
@@zepoissondu4510 I had already checked out the lyrics and the translation way back when it was released. My concern was for the casual viewer on the night. However, it appears that they, and the juries, got the gist anyway. On another year 499 would have easily been enough. I want to feel sorry for Barbara, but I shouldn't. I suspect she will become a big star while Maneskin may gradually fade into oblivion.
Confuse because you like that song. :)
Hi, I am Frensh. Il like this song.
I have grown to love this! I honestly thought it would have won. Congrats on an amazing result!
It's theatre more then music. That is what you are searching to say I guess
You'd have to understand french for you to like this specific type of singing. It's very "Jacques Brel" like, lyrics play a big part in the performance
It seem you know what you are talking about, I have the same feelings.
If you are not familiar with chanson, France, French at all, this might be too much, but even the I struggle to comprehend this reaction.
that thé way French done
I really hope u speak french cz if u did u would love the ending the most
Day 1 Of annoying you into reacting to "Riots - Stuck in the Sound" And also iv never seen someone be so conflicted over a song
😆 yeh, it just didn’t go in a way I expected it to, not in a good way. That being said, after hearing it many times I now like it!
Day 1 of me responding - yup! Keep commenting and I’ll definitely get to it :p
Elle peut gagner 🙏
I can help you out. Listen to Edith Piaf. Or anything in the categorie French chansons from the mid-20th century
En voilà un qui est enfermé dans les stéréotypes des chansons anglo-saxonnes au début... mais voilà, le charme peut opérer.
Et dire que j'ai failli m'arrêter à 30sec. et mettre un dislike, désolé à mon tour.
The rhythm is 3/4 ... valse
Yeh, definitely didn’t seem like it at the beginning. It’s a fast waltz so I’m tempted to call it 3/8
As much as I like French music, I don't like this song. It just sounds like something I've been hearing since I was a little girl (although a song like this could have been written in the 50-ies or even 40-ies). Barbara is an amazing singer and the concept behind this song is nice, but it does nothing for me.
Bonjour
Now , they are first 😉✌🏼
I was so scared you didn't like it.....
I ended up loving this one!
The performance was great. But she is singing too much mike Édith piaf... the problem is we are in 2021! not in 1940 anymore....
You say that because you don't know the very real sens of the word VOILA!! That's all. The end is great exactly because of that!!!!
Music is nice but her ending is really strange. she didnt hit the notes many many times especially in the end. She lacks charisma so when she is compared to Edit Piaf it is an offence to Edit Piaf. I cant listen to it though i love french national music. This one is by far not the best, other singers with strong voices and memorable music didnt get much votes. The video with national election didnt get a lot of views, so her 2 place is odd. But thats eurovision so okay. Anyway🤪
Well I am french so what I am going to say is not patriot at all :/ The song is quite okay and yes singing in the traditional way, but the performence is too much, the lyrics are quite poor and Damn stop trying to imitate Edith Piaf ! The voice of Barbara Pravi is nice but she is not a voice singer and she sing a song made for a powerful vocal, I think there is a problem here.
Reaction Portugal final eurovison 2021
I wish 😭 I’ve already seen it and it was magnificent
@@TheMuserResolute The Black Mamba - Crazy Nando top top top top
you should understand the lyrics to understand the song
I should but I didn’t 😞 my third favourite this year! She did so well
"Too many words" You must like listing noises, not real, meaningful SONGS. You didn't even bother to search for the lyrics translation but you still made a reaction of it....
Sooo many words. My third favourite from this year 🥰🥰
What is wierd to me :
- The Italian rock band won with a performance of a great mix of very conventional ingredients of rock standards (which is somewhat a non sense for the Rock spirit).
- Apart from that, the second winner Barbara is the true rocker of the évent IMO. I mean she brings an unusual and unconventional content to an evermore globalizing domain (cultural, multimedia show, main stream broadcasted évents). Secondly, as a french, what is less rock in Voilà : the style (performance style between chant and parlé) is quite frequent in French folk local music, and the core style of the song borrows very much of the older iconic Édith PIAF. Anyway, Barbara does a great and successful job to refresh public's ears with incontournable pièce of French culture.
Voilà is anyway and intrinsicly a Masterpiece as a song in songwriter style, Barbara is giving to people a tour of French culture, a self introduction, her art, and a view of the French mindset and lifestyle : a culture wide obsessional self centric introspection, identity issue, self acceptance, acceptance by autrui, natural way/simplicity/transparency. The paradox is that many things in the French universe are all but simple and intuitive. Just look at the complexity of the œuvre of Barbara...
This is the charm of French culture !
Great explanation. Thanks. I know a bit about French culture but that was really educative.
I’m sure her music will be greatly appreciated long after this competition. I was touched by the song for sure.
you wanted some views, dude :)
Always 😉 can’t make a video and not want views
They only have 3 minutes
This has really grown on me since! I would have been happy to see it win. Such an emotive performance
I feel sorry you totally don't get it even after saying this is beautiful and try to analyse it 😏😒
I don’t. She was only my third favourite this year 😔
try to anderstand lyrics first
Man… do you know ENYTHING about french music?? It’s a total Classic - did you ever hear about edith Piaf? Oh my god… this reaction is such a shame for you… i just cannot believe it
Me too!! It ended up being one of my favourites that year 😆
Évidemment c'est une bonne chanson mais les maneskin sont bien meilleures je comprends pourquoi elles ont gagné
Music teacher ? Really ? 🙄
really really!
Totally agree. The ending is not working. When she's saying la-lalala seems cheap. And i'm french and i think it's a great song.
Un peu trop égocentrée "voilà qui je suis", dommage...
This song is very similar to "amsterdam" from Brel imo..
Thanks for this reaction 🙂
As a French, I see it as very old school french singing, a bad copy of Edith Piaf. I shouldn't be surprised as the level of french mainstream music is really low today. The golden age of the 70's and 80's is definitely over 😢
As French as can be, harking back to Edith Piaf. It won't do well in Europe but will a hit in France. And maybe in the Netherlands...
It’s number 1 in the bookmakers odds 🥸
If anything, Chanson francaise genre is more successful outside of France actually
France wins eurovision after 44 years... well done Barbara Pravi 🇨🇵
German here, I love it. Ukraine is my fav, but this is great too
So lame.
What’s lame? The song? I beg to differ. The song is amazing 😍 she did so well
Good song but just boring
Definetly don't deserve even the second place this copy song,destiny with malta deserve that with her voice
boring performance, in fact she lost
This has grown on me. She came second by 25 points. I’d argue UK lost 😆
C est merdique
😆
@Lau kir ta part on s en fou
Ta raison c merdique et dire quel est 2 ème je rêve non c un cauchemar lol
@@grazielladupond19 tant mieux pour elle. Moi je juge que la chanson. J aime pas. Mais tant mieux pour la chanteuse
Ras le bol de voir la France représentée par toujours les mêmes clichés de piaf. On est plus dans les années 40. Et on se promène pas avec des bérets sur la tête et des baguettes de pain sous le bras 😡
Terrible song
He's Arab and she's Jewish.... now you know why he hated it so much.
I had to actually think about how much I liked this song. I mean, I knew I liked it, but couldn't figure out how much so when I first heard it. But it completely stuck with me and before long I knew it was my favourite this year - amongst a few other really strong contenders as well.
Yesss it’s one of my favs this year after hearing all!
