Oh my God. It's The Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)! They seem to really like this Eurovision thing. 🤓
im pretty sure the 'e' in STEM stands for eurovision

😂😂😂😂
i'm usually turned off a bit by super frilly positive message songs, but i think that it's pretty important considering the political climate of australia at the moment. i don't know how much it was covered in international news, but last year australia held a referendum to change the constitution to recognise aboriginal and torres strait islander peoples by electing a 'voice to parliament' who would basically ensure that there was a first nations perspective in parliament at all times regardless of who was voted in. it ended up being voted with a majority of 'no's, so it didn't go through and it kinda marked a clear understanding that first nations people are still being treated so poorly even in the present. i think that a song showing unambiguous joy from a first nations person is such a contrast from what's being represented in the media at the moment and what is being felt in the community. in australia we rarely get to see pure first nations joy in our media so i'm super excited to see this :)
This is a really interesting context - thank you for sharing!
I thought the song was aimed more at our own country than the rest of the world and I love that they did that. It is so great to see something sung in language. Just great to see something with indigenous representation.
Yes as someone living in Australia right now I felt we as a nation needed this after such a dark and sad time for First Nation Australians, we have such a long way to go for First Nations to have equal rights and not be discriminated against. I love seeing this song celebrate love, kindness and having aboriginal language and instruments in this ❤
@@erinnadia0409 an amazing Indigenous friend of ours came with us to the most recent Australia Decides and was heart broken at the lack of recognition. I messaged her at 5am as soon as it was official that this song was coming - I was so excited. It's about time. How has it taken this long to send something even partially in language?
very well put. yeah, the vibes here since the failed Voice to Parliament in october have been one of mourning. it was a majority 'no' vote but only just - 60/40%. indigenous health outcomes continue to be comparable to developing nations, in one of the richest countries in the world. it is a dire situation. I agree with a lot of Novympia's points here - but the context is less visible without the lyrics, and I do fear the dated production will hamper it. I actually wish they'd included MORE local indigenous language, instead of just the chorus. and more didgeridoo instrumentation. the hook is fantastic though, the performers are fantastic, so fingers crossed!
I was underwhelmed when I first watched the video. But when I listened without watching the lyric video it's a real bop and now it gets in my head all the time. I think the live performance will really light this up and give it the moment it deserves.
I totally agree - the lyric video actually doesn't do this song any justice and listening without is a much better experience! 💕
I think it has real possibility for great staging.
I get the feeling the clip is also partly a result of us not finding out if we were even still going to participate in Eurovision until quite late in the game.
Most message songs can be performed by anyone. The lovely thing about this message song is that it can only be performed by Electric Fields. The lyrical connection to Indigenous ways of knowing make this so much more authentic.
This song speaks to our place in the universe, how we cannot "own" land, and that borders are invented. It's about realizing our place in the natural world and that we are to be stewards of the land living in harmony with each other and nature. It's a timeless message but more timely now than ever, and very much so in Australia. Absolutely love it.
On a separate note, I’m liking the new graphic for your leaderboard placements - all the colours and the shifting, it’s really fun and dynamic!
Thank you!
@@NovympiaI do like it a lot as well! Maybe highlighting the new entry would be nice. It's a ton of information at once for my feeble eyes and brain.
That's not a bad idea I'll try and remember for the next one!
Sending you much love from Greece! Can't wait to see your reaction to our song, cause it's a doozy 😝
it's rather pure shite so do not get too excited
I love Greece this year 💙🤍
Greece is my second fav to Italy this year. So, so, sooo good! Pure art and so intelligently done.
@@radosawrusnak7700 it's weird, everyone seems to love it apart from Greeks 😂 I'm Greek and I love it but lots of people are so mad.
It started out in the 30s in my rankings and now its #11. I love the hook and the production is so fun!
After a few listens, It's in my #11 spot, as well!
I think Australia has actually played this off well. A lyric video keeps expectations low and mystery still while showing off the lyrics to dedicated fans. The lyrics are brilliant in this song, so why not show them off! And the fandom went wild for 2000 and Whatever, so many fans were going to be comparing this song to that immediately anyways. Fans will play this song again and again without the lyric video and likely see it as a grower and may even be wowed in May once staging is seen.
For general audience at Eurovision, the stage performance (which is likely to be staged very well) will be their first experience. So the lyric video choice in a weird way, can kinda work out decently.
Australia has sent artists with indigenous heritage before but this is the first song with Aboriginal lyrics. I agree the song is a little low impact but I have faith that Australia knows how to qualify. I'm one of the few people who actually prefer this to 2000 and Whatever, although I'm still not a huge fan of message songs
i feel like Australia is so underrated! i have gravitated towards this song in just my everyday listening, much like Gustaph's song last year it just makes me happy. love the message, love the band, i think this will kill live.
also i 100% understand your decision not to cover certain countries this year, the comment section would just descend into chaos and a bad time would be had by all.
Thanks for explaining why Australia is involved! I never would have remembered to look it up
Thank you for saying positive things about Australia's entry! I feel like so many people wrote it off immediately when they heard it, but probably mostly because of the video. I too was a little disappointed at first because you always have high hopes for your own country, but this song is a grower. I love it now and I think it's underrated and will scrape through to the grand final
Love this! It’s been creeping up my scoreboard since it came out. I’d find myself always turning up the volume when it came on. Now I proudly have it in 6th! 😆 it’s a chooon! They can sing well live and staging is always pretty great from Australia. Why are the lyrics trite? I think there really clever and meaningful. Then again I’m a huge fan of astronomy so I’m going to appreciate them more I guess, but I think we all should. Olympia has Denmark really high in her ranking ,and the lyrics in that are sickly 😂It’s a bop and I love it
thank you for the end statement girls - and thank you for being so open about it all on all platforms from the community statement on youtube to using your voices on social media. you do more than you know. 🍉💕
Oh I’m obsessed with this song! It’s my 3rd place now x
I'm very proud of our entry this year! 🖤💛❤
This song really grew on me. At first i would skip it, then i would listen up to my favorite part, and now i dance/strut around the house to the whole thing 😂
Thank you for your final statements. I wholeheartedly agree. And I appreciate you using your platform in a way that aligns with valuing human rights.
The advice at 2:46 is key. This is a huge grower, w a message, and is surely gon come alive on stage! Go Australia!🥳
I think the staging of this will be vital, particularly with pre-recorded instrumentals. Australia usually does a good job of staging, but I worry we'll end up with Michael stuck miming behind a fake keyboard while everything happens around him. I'd love to see both of them be active parts of the staging.
Also, whenever I hear the line "Entertaining the gods" my brain autocompletes the next line to 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele. But that could just be me 😅
im curious to see if they really embrace the aboriginal australian nature of the song in the staging and, if so, how they'll go about doing it! i personally don't think this song will do very well though, i just don't think it has any kind of competitive edge BUT they might turn it around when it's performed live!
I quite like this song, it s my guilty pleasure. They are pleasant and the song is strong, well done Australia
This is such a sweet song that deserves a real music video 😭
It doesn't deserve sht. Stay in the semifinal where you belong
Maybe they are saving the budget for the show. 🤔
Not every song needs money wasted on a whole ass music video pre-competion. Way too much emphasis is being put on MVs, when they have literally nothing to do with how a song translates to a live stage performance
Happy to leave a YT metric$ Comment. Song is fine. Love you! 🩷🖤
💕💕
Love this song!
Love these ensemmmmbles on you both! ❤
I appreciate the lyrics. Personally I hope this qualifies and it's one of my favourite songs from this year.
Can’t wait to see this years Eurovision! Side note: I hope that when you cover Sweden you put in the clip from the Norwegian snack box video where Olympia spits out the cheeseball because it’s “Too swedish” and flip it to “too norwegian” 😂
Thank you queens for talking abt not covering those countries 💖🍉
You both look really pretty in this video! Nicely done, ladies. 😍
Cool tones look so fantastic on Nova!
So happy to be welcomed as a patreon with this particular video! Thank you girls 🙌🏻
Did you use a new ranking app or did you design it yourself ?
Nova whipped this up herself 💕
I absolutely love ye so much 🥰
love your colour stories today! :)
I really enjoy the mix of blind reactions and more mulled over responses. Also, you guys look STUNNING
Lymph giving Potiphar from Joseph and multi-coloured dream coat vibes
😂😂😂 core memory unlocked
Can somebody fill me in on the Luxembourg controversy? 🤷♀️
I’ve asked on Eurovision Reddit and nobody seems to know either
The artist they're sending is Israeli. From what I understand her stance on the genocide in Gaza is unclear and people don't want to support her just in case.
@@Evelina_412 ok but they reacted to the U.K. song and Ollie supports Palestine. I think if you are boycotting certain songs and artists, then you probably should boycott the whole show? China watch Eurovision and don’t show LGBTQ acts. Isn’t this just the same thing? It’s a music competition at the end of the day, the artists I’m sure aren’t political or interested in war
This is our positive celebrative side, after everything we have been through, hapoy to be alive. This is also our unbias side, positive, good, yet musunderstood, chilled out, relaxed, laid back, genuine, sincere caln, peaceful side... that just wants people to stop fighting. Why are we there in Eurovision because we are. What I would like to see for our artists and us, more acceptance , because we deserve it for everything we have had to put up with, throughout the years. The staging is going to be great. Video clips are always hmmm only been really happy with one year.
Electric Fields' band motto is "bypass the barriers", and Fielding and Ross describe themselves as "two feminine brothers", embracing their queer identity and affectionately referring to each other as Mala (Fielding, the "younger sibling") and Tjutja (Ross, the "older brother"). They are very close friends but not romantically involved. They embrace their feminine identity, saying that it makes them stronger.[28] They are 10 years and one day apart in age.[29]
As an Aussie I will grant Olympia an Australian passport!
She's one of us 😂🐨🇦🇺🦘
You're looking so pretty ❤
And I really liked One Milkali. It's actually in my top 10... it reminds me of Pnau songs, and I love the indigenous elements!
How fucking gorgeous do you two ladies look today love love love everything you are giving fabulous 120%🔥🔥💙🩶
14:55 I'm starting a petition for South Africa to join the EBU so we can get Dita to perform.
I'm from the States and don't even watch Eurovision, but I don't miss these videos. True fan, here, gerls. 😘
With bonus late-in-show impromptu Noympavision Song Contest? Douze points! 👏🏾
Olympia. I bet you loved the digerydo enhanced "I will survive" from "Priscilla" I really did !
Nova has the same hair colour as I do! Love to see it! And it suits her so well, too! 😎
And your name keeps reminding me of Nymphia.
I find it so weird that the reactions in the video are "reversed". Usually Nova likes the songs while Olympia dislikes it 🤣
sidenote: both of them are best friends and not a couple. They've confirmed it before. Check their wiki!
Thanks for clarifying!
Quite like this song - we have the bangers, we have the ballads and stuff in between ...you like what you like ....and you vote for what you like, not necessarily your own country
Thank you for the closing comments ❤
Lymp, where did you get that outfit/top? It’s sooo cool 😎!! I’m an RN so it’s even more amazing! Would you mind sharing where you got it please?🙏🏻 ❤💋
Killstar a million years ago
Did you girls ever change the batteries in your remote? The things that keep me up at night. Haha
Oh my god I'm so glad you didn't get rid of that wig Olympia
Are you doing a reaction for Serbia's entry? I thought you might be avoiding it for all the annoying, basically spammy comments. Every reaction video, I see something like: GUYS! DID YOU KNOW?! Right... The flower Ramonda is... I BET you guys didn't know that!
Also, thank you for all the entertaining content. You never fail to bring a smile on my face.
We shall be getting to it when we can!
@@Novympiayou should! It is so mesmerising and it has beaten a overtly political song that got most of the public votes. I would say deservingly so.
I love to see women in STEM acknowledging their love of the arts and entertainment world.
Just wanted to say, I respect your decision.
Can't wait for your reaction to Greece!
💜💜💜
Does anyone know what the thing with Luxembourg is? I havent heard about a single bit of controversy against the song other than Tali swearing live?
The main thing we aren't comfortable with is that during the winner's press conference after her national final Tali dedicated her win to her brother who is serving in the IDF. This context made us view the song and its lyrics in a new way that we think could actually be in breach of the contest rules. There are other rumours and red flags around Luxembourg this year but again a lot of it is hard to verify and there's a fair amount of what could just be hysteria.
@@Novympiagotta do better with your Jew hate
@@bumblebear7999 gotta do better with your reading comprehension. Absolutely no "Jew hate" from us.
@@Novympia Thank you so much for clearing that up. Never saw anything like that, but I'm glad to now know about it. Well, I guess my top ten has a new space in it.
Will you have a eurovision party on your channel?
nova this hair and cut is soooooo cute
First of all. You. Look. GORGEOUS! These looks are killing me.
Second of all. I'm not sure how impactful this will be on stage. When I heard it for the first time I thought it was nice and it's very mellow, which I like because there's nothing like it this year. And the addition of the aboriginal language is cool. I agree that they should have done some sort of live performance for this. But we'll see, maybe they'll surprise us!
Edit: thank you for taking a stand on some of the countries, there's far too much nefarious bullshit this year. Love you girls ❤
What's the Luxembourg drama? I haven't seen anything...
There's no drama, she's Israeli and they're being political b*tches.
This song has grown on me. Like you I was a bit disappointed at first but now I like it more. I hope they go harder with the Aboriginal instrumentation and I know the Live performance will be fantastic because not only is Australia much better at live music but Electric Fields specifically are so good at live performances. The song name comes from Zacaariaha's fathers art and ftr the two are not a couple, just very close (and not in a 'history will remember them as roommates way' lol).
I know a lot of people are whining over the lyric video, but to be honest I think I know all the lyrics off by heart now thanks to just a couple of views of the video, and I learnt some indigenous language.
What does the "La" bit mean? Is it just "La", or is it something else?
I do not hate this, but i really struggle to see how this will do, as for the end statement i totally agree and support your decisions, lx and is can blow it at their hole
what, who said that
Gerls tbh I needed this tone from you. I loved 2000 and Whatever and I loved seeing queer indigeneity without qualification and mediation. Their vocals have the quiet solidity of…Loreen. That trill in the 2019 song is like Cyndi Lauper refracted through Loreen. They are the first and only time I’ve actually seen contemporary indigenous Australian language mobilized by actual indigenous persons. And anyone name checking Janet Jackson in their lyrics is top tier for me.
Yes ladies, love you taking a stand at the end. Excellently put Nova!
Now eagerly waiting to see if Luxembourg, Iceland & Israel will just happen to breeze through to the grand final.
Iceland won’t 💀
SOOO looking forward to your reaction to the Greek song 🇬🇷♥️🎲
apparently I've completely missed all these controversies, if someone could give a light tldr (if we're allowed to do that in these comments) I'd love to know. israel I know but the rest I have no idea about.
I think the singer from Luxembourg dedicated the win of her song to her brother who's an active idf soldier in Gaza.
Iceland, there was a Palestinian singer competing and people say the voting was rigged to not give him the win.
Azerbaijan and Armenia have been fighting for land for decades, and more recently (2020) they had a war, Azerbaijan won an amount of land and 100k armenians were displaced.
Would love if you reacted to Ireland's music video
The day I vote for Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest is the day I get adopted by Pippa from Home & Away.
Madge and Harold will be fuming!!
@paulwilliammonks1 They won't be half as angry as Joan "The Freak" Ferguson once she finds out she won't be getting her gloved hand on me.
Can somebody please explain to me the Luxembourg situation? I've tried looking it up but coming up blank. Obviously I get the situation with the other countries you're choosing not to comment on.
LOVE that this song has indigenous lyrics/an indigenous performer; I moved to Australia from the UK over ten years ago and couldn't get over how blatant and ingrained some of the racism against aboriginal people were.
Love these reactions and love all your videos! Can't wait to see your prediction video on Patreon, its such a stacked year imo!
questionable production decisions that may or may not have tilted the result in favor of the winning act for suspicious reasons
The eurovision channel is wild with titles. They'll post the performance after someone wins their national selection and call it "official video" while the artist is crying, breathing heavily, forgetting lyrics and thanking their mama
Nova saying that something is too upbeat for her made me drop my biscuit (no literally, an Oreo was lost).
There's something going on with the Luxembourgish song? Mainly relating to the artist and their background, I'd imagine?
I hate knowing there's not even a music show that can not go on without tea. This world. Gunna have to send Dita after all who r not with it!!
Nova looks radiant in blue and Olympia is back with her gorgeous grey hair! This is a good gay day.
they have now changed the rules in terms of voting, so now we get to vote right away, which means being near the end is a bad thing, you now want your favourites to go first so they can get votes quickly
In previous years where voting has been like this, it hasn't made much difference.
ahh okay hun, i don't remember that ever happening honestly haha x@@Novympia
😂
That's it 💜
Ok...Australia currently sitting on 24th in the odds....and going down.
In 2018, Cyprus was 2nd last in the odds. They finished 2nd
@@Cassie_kitten90 Nice!
When is the actual eurovision competition and is it a whole night thing
The semis are May 7 & 9 and the final is May 11, it’s usually about 3 hours 😌
Ok great thanks
I can't believe you're not Australian
czcams.com/video/XU3yoRX4XOE/video.html
I think you two would appreciate this soundbite for future use
I just wonder, If Australia won would we all be able to afford to fly there to watch the next Eurovision?
It's a little different with a bit of an aboriginal flavour but for me personally there's something missing from it.
🩷🩵💜💚🖤
I really love this song, but songs I love historically have done really poorly at Eurovision I’ve found 😂 so I’m guessing your ranking is closer to the results than my ranking of 3rd place haha
As an Australian, I like our entry this year and how we are showcasing parts of Aboriginal culture like the use of the didgeridoo and the Aboriginal language! However, I honestly think the 'music video' killed the song for many people (including me on my first listen) and it's much better to listen with my eyes closed 😅. Thankfully Eurovision is all about live performances so this won't be much of an issue at the contest :D
YAY! I'm the first here! Howdy girls from Colorado! Nova, you are wearing a dress that looks exactly like a suitcase I had when I was five. I adored that suitcase because it was gorgeous and I drug it everywhere. Am I the only one who doesn't like Poland? The video had a lot of money thrown at it, her voice is okay, but the song is so repetitive.
Me too 😂
Dw Poland is painfully dull for me 😭
I like bejba more. At least it had meme potential.
@@allegra3500 okay, thank you! This one guy said he got goosebumps watching her. What?
Thank you thank you thank you for not covering those countries. You’ve just earned yourselves a new subscriber. ❤
Hey i was wondering why aren't they going to be covering the song from Azerbaijan?
Because Azerbaijan have, among other things, repeatedly invaded Armenia in the last few years, imprisoned people for voting for Armenia, and have in multiple years attempted to bribe or otherwise manipulate juries to get their entry to qualify.
@@CrazyMattLineoh. Thank you so much for that information. I never knew any of it tbh
I’ve reached a place where my top 10 is pretty much locked in. The entry has to be a total banger at this point, and the last round of stuff really isn’t doing it for me.
I'm loving all the enby representation. I thought it was cool seeing disabled people represented in media but seeing other enbys hits different.
Please react to Albania’s TiTAN, as it’s pretty much a new song
After we have caught up with all the other entries we likely will!
@@Novympiaawesome 😊
I don't think you understood the references if you're calling it trite.
SOME of the lyrics feel trite.
@@Novympia ill let you off this time, don't do it again ;)
Seeing as nova is being a curmudgeon in this video I’d like to let Olympia know that I’ve been much preferring her drag lately. Looking gorge babe!
or nor
I always find it interesting that the English always shit on Australia’s entry but never vice versa… weird
Don't know what to tell you other than we obviously are not representative of our entire country and these are clearly just our personal opinions.
Never said you were simply made an observation
I'm Australian and I hate the UK song. Hope that helps.
I'm really loving the queer representation flooding EV this year. Is it just me or is there a LOT more queer artists than usual this year?
