    This was my least articulate Reaction video ever. I'm stil torn whether to make this my Number 1 or my Number 37. I need to sleep on this.
    Edit: I was worried it's going to be "Dustin the Turkey" bad but I think it may be more of a Netta meets Little Big vibe after listening to it a second time. This is a bop

It's a total work of art and as well done as only a few can bring it in one song. At the ESC, you can only really compare it with Konstrakta from last year. I think it's great.

    I actually have faith for this one live in terms of vocals, Teya was in Serbia's NF in 2020 and had extremely good vocals there. I have no clue about Salena so lets hope she is good live as well. This needs absolutely insane staging to work live, or at least a lot of energy because I can see this either doing amazingly well or completely failing.

    So I won't get my expectations too high on this one, just enjoy A LOT the record version.
    Edit: I'm having a liiiiittle problem with the "Poe was a lyricist" part of the song... That's not trueeee skgkskkfdkkgkd I mean, I get why they are saying that, but it sounds too incorrect to my ears and it makes me cringe. The rest, amazing.

    Interesting song, at least it's something not entirely safe and something not to be taken 100% seriously. I don't know, how to feel about this, it could potentially flop, but could also have some televote appeal. Let's see, how it's being performed live, I think, that Teya might be a good singer, not so sure about Salena. But both are probably better than Pia Maria anyway. But it's relatively tricky to perform a spoken word chorus like this, backing tracks are allowed, but I think that the main singers have to sing over it, though. It wouldn't have been a problem in the 2 previous years. Let's see, how this plays out.

    I'm worried to react to this because i rarely ever see likes or responses on your channel (note - you kinda let yourself down there). This is kind of fabulous but, by the same score, a lot of people will have no idea who Edgar Allen Poe is and will be totally lost from the get-go.. The title says everything and people will either love this or be TOTALLY confused.and alienated.
