Check out semi final 2!!!
Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Croatia, Moldova, Czechia and Finland are the ones most out of the box there, hope they all pass to the final...!!! 😉
Ahahaha.. you made me crack laughing at the "Baguette.. with American butter.. European butter has no sugar enough" 😂😂😂😂
Agree except croatia :) but we also need songs who don't necessarily jump out of the box, but who deserve appreciation and for the diversity of pace
Just cause they’re out of the box, doesn’t make them good songs that deserve to qualify. Croatia for instance has no reason to qualify, it’s the worst song in this semi final.
Germanys song is NOT saying satan, its "saint and sinner"
Ah ok. I always thought it said 'Blood and glitter. Satan's dinner.' lol. 😂
@@ds5379 lmao same
in Portugal we speak Portuguese... Some people think of Brazil when we say Portuguese but Brazil was a Portugal's colony
from a german, Latvia is so underrated...
i swear everytime she skips latvia i wanna die no wonder latvia and malta sound the same to her😭😭
Spain isn’t on semis
Yeah so 10 songs qualify from semi 1 on Tuesday, 10 qualify from semi 2 on Thursday and they all join the big 5 (UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany) plus the previous winner (Ukraine) in the grand final on Saturday.
The final will have 26 songs.
I hope Latvia qualify
Finlands song is about being afraid to let loose until having a couple of drinks and kicking it on the dance floor and realizing youre more than okay .
Croatia❤ The bravest contestant this year
Huge respect
Actually, the song is really good,I guess not everyone can understand it
Croatia is severely underrated.
Fun facts Pasha (Moldova) and Loreen (Sweden) both compete on 2012.
Imagine losing to loreen twice tho 😭😭😭
@@mad3l3na won't happen.
Serbia, Chech republik, Georgia, Finland, sweden
My top 3 from this semi are:
1. Finland
2. Czechia
3. Sweden/Norway (can't decide honestly)
And regarding the question if it's fair that the big 5 qualify automatically just because they pay more money, yes and no imo. Yes because without them the contest wouldn't exist and no because they take place of countries who might possibly have better songs than them. It's not always a good thing to qualify though. Germany and UK have notoriously gotten 0 points in recent years so I imagine it's more embarrassing to get a 0 in the final than to just stay in the semi and not qualify.
Hi from Portugal! Thanks ❤. That's Portuguese language, yes.
ela faz sempre a mesma perguntinha parva...."que linga falam em Portugal".....
Not you calling Latvia a joke song, even tho it is one of the most serious songs in this competition.
You do realise that the German guy is singing “Saint and sinner”, and not “Satan sinner”, don’t you?
and even if, who the fuck cares, do we live in the 1800s ?
Obviously not Neil.
It does sound like Satan though, especially given the context.
Absolutely love Portugal, Finland, and Moldova in semi one!😍 They get my vote!🥇🥈🥉
Same! Low-key scared for Portugal and Moldova though, they're not getting as much attention as Norway, Sweden, Czechia, Israel, and Serbia
FYI this is how the entire Eurovision voting system works:
All of the countries (except for the big 5 + the hosting country) get randomly drawn into one of the two semi-finals. This year there are fifteen countries in semi 1 and sixteen countries in semi 2.
Only the countries who compete in semi 1 (and three countries in big 5 + host) get to vote in the semi. Last year both televoters and juries voted in the semi finals, but this year they've removed the juries. Televoters can vote for (not really, there is a limit at like 30) a country however many times they want, but only ten countries actually qualifies from each semi-final. Most people (me included) think that the first semi final is way harder this year, which makes it very hard for countries like Azerbaijan to qualify, because Azerbaijan's song is a very jury friendly one.
In the final every competing country can vote and the juries have also returned in the final. The final consists of 26 countries.
Also Malta and Latvia are very different.
Can someone remind me why Favour is obessed with AAHZEEEEEERRRBAIJAAAAAAAAAAHN(the country) again? I forgot😅
I think it was just because she likes how the name of the country sounds? But I also don't know anymore hahaha
great question lol
There are 3 live shows: 2 semifinals and 1 grand final. From each semi, the 10 songs with the most votes will qualify and perform on the grand final. On semifinal 1, the countries performing on that night plus Italy, France and Germany will vote, but these last 3, being part of the Big 5, don’t compete on the semi, they just vote. In semifinal 2 is the same thing: the countries performing that night plus the rest of the Big 5 and the winner of the previous ESC (Spain, UK and Ukraine) vote to decide de 10 qualifiers. The total 20 qualifiers and the Big 5 + Ukraine will then perform on the grand final and here, all countries vote. This year they made it so everyone from around the world can vote too, counting as another country, so you will be able to vote.
Ireland is not UK. Northern Ireland is but Ireland itself is not part of UK
Ireland is not a part of the UK! So what would the UK hosting have anything to do with anything??? So dumb
Serbia is about waking up from the matrix; that's the best way I can describe it.
Top 10 from each semi progress to join the Big 5 + last years winner in the Final = totalling 26 act in the Final.
I agree with the big 5. If any other country wants to take over the £12m costs each, they can be replaced.
But no other country is willing (or able) to pay so they must qual. If it wasn't for the Big 5, there would be no contest.
HAHAHAHAHA XD
Malta and Latvia same style. Not so surprised coming from an american.
You really think Israel is a country that will not air the Croatian song?! You don't really know Israel I think 🤭
You are right she really don't unfortunately... Israel is a free state.
They are invited in Tel Aviv Eurovision party
You said in your reaction to Croatia "Countries like Jordan or Israel won't air this" - Israel is very pro LGBT and they are the first to send and win with a Trans (dana international). Israel have gay parades every year..
If you mean politicly vise - unlike the Arab countries, Israel (at least for now) have autonomous Journalism and the freedom of speech - so nothing is ever banned from Eurovision.
just to let you know: the lyrics in the german song aren’t “satan’s sinner”, its “saint and sinner”. not sure if that makes it better or anything, but at least its not as bad as that haha
I think it's totally fair for the big 5 to automatically qualify. They put more funding into the whole spectacle, and without that Eurovision wouldn't be the same. Other participating countries could possibly have to retreat because of economic reasons just like some had to do this year.
Thank you for putting it into words. Hope people will understand:)
The portugal language is portuguese. Fun fact: Brasil speaks portuguese as well.
In Brasil they speek portuguese because in the 15th century the portuguese navigators crossed the Atlantic and reached south america. They formed a colony there and called it Brasil. Brasil got its independency about 200 years ago.
finland's is kinda about masculinity and the feeling that you can't be yourself unless you get wasted. the first part which is more typical käärijä style is hyper aggressive, shout-rap while the end is synth pop-y and happy because the pina coladas he had broke his cold front. it's also not supposed to be in support of getting black out drunk, but about drinking culture in finland
also i think you keep mishearing germany's lyrics, it's not "satan sinner" it's "saint and sinner" and about how we as humans have so much potential for different characteristics and qualities, good and bad
One clarification - none of the big five are actually playing the first semi - they are the countries that vote in the first semi. And yes, it's fair about the funding, otherwise we wouldn't have this amazing global phenomena that is Eurovision :)
This semi final is going to be so tough for countries to get through. The givens in my view are Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic Norway, Israel. Definitely out is Ireland (I'm from there, but we just don't know how to get Eurovision right these last 10-15 years), Latvia is out. So the other 3 who I guess won't go through are, unfortunately, Malta (I love that song), possibly Serbia (although as it's only public vote they may well get through) and either Moldova, Croatia or Netherlands. I think your favourite will squeak it just, and Switzerland will get through and Portugal. So the last two places are for two of Croatia, Netherlands and Moldova (I think Moldova will get it because this semi is only based on televotes - there is no jury vote, and Croatia will therefore go through too).
The winner of Eurovision is coming from this semi, and in the final it'll be Sweden winning with the Jury (and Norway probs near top) and Finland with the public (Norway will do well here too) Overall winner, tossup for me, but I think it'll be Sweden.
Azerbaijan gives early 2000 vibes. Finland essentially is about throwing off the facade of toxic masculinity and embracing your true self (I love that, but as it's not in English the live version may not attract as many votes as I'm expecting, but who knows), but lamenting you can only let go of your inhibitions and be yourself with the help of alcohol. But the struggle with bisexuality from the Norwegian entry is so relatable, the song amazing, and it's definitely top of my list. Queen Loreen is just, simply, the Queen (sorry Alessandra) - I listened back to back to Euphoria and Tattoo and bizarrely found myself liking Tattoo more - I was prejudiced against it because I love Euphoria, but Tattoo actually is much better than I first gave it credit for. I don't like the Israeli entry, I work all the time with Czechs and they don't like their own song, but I agree that it will be amazing to hear live (I'm going to the Jury show Friday night in Liverpool, so can't wait to see that). I also love Moldova and really hope they make it. I don't want to see Croatia live - it's too much for me. Nope nope nope. And I actually don't think it will do that well overall in the final, although I think it'll probably just make the final.
Finally, Portugal, it's Portuguese and the language of the song is Portuguese ;)
Why do you say "very british" for the intro of the eurovision song contest?
Its not british.
In the late 1600s, French Baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier wrote his grand polyphonic motet Te Deum. So its far from british.
Exactly ! 😀😂
7:18 It is in the middle east but Israel is usually quite chill with that stuff. They literally sent a trans woman to represent them (who won) in 1998.
Top 10 most voted songs moves to the Grand final from the semi finals. No juries on the semi finals, only on the Grand final
17:41 "The Championship" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
May not always know the terms or facts but dang it, I have fun regardless!
Azerbaijan is just awful this year XD if you weren't such a fan of the country you wouldn't even like it. The first semi is going to be a bloodbath for sure with so many favourites.
My dad loves it. It's his favourite. But then it's his era
Not being able to vote in this semi is extremely painful...I'll just have to watch the voting chaos unfold until semi 2.
Big 5 - the contest wouldn't happen without their funding (it's a massive event - not just the competition on the night) and if they weren't in the final why would they want to provide the most money for it?? They wouldn't. The semi finals are also big live shows, you don't just vote on the videos - but they are not widely watched as much. If the Big 5 countries are not in final it could mean they stop putting up the money and eventually no contest. So, if you want Eurovision to continue you need them in the final.
10 countries will qualify from semi 1 & 2 to grand final through 100% Televote and in grand final it is 50% jury 50% televotes
2 semis 1st semifinal has has 15 and 10 make it through 2nd Semi Final has 16 and 10 make it through Germany,France,Italy,Spain,Ukraine and United Kingdom are automatically through to the final 2nd and 3rd are known as the death spot as nobody usually qualifies from those spots
Perfect time 21:37, if u know, u know
...it might come as a surprise but vocals are not necessary for sth to be classified as a Song...
10:28 look up at Eurovision 1st place in 1995,there were no words..
❤
Being from the UK it's going to be annoying not going to be able to vote for any of these songs to qualify from the 1st semi-finals (that are performed live) but I can vote for the people to qualify from the second semi-final with all the other songs (it's the Spanish, UK and Ukraine [if the previous winner isn't one of the big five day automatically qualify as well]) also last year we could vote multiple times for different songs, in the final.
So that's the positive if they extend that to everyone else.
all my faves are in the 1st semis...i will beg friends and family not in the uk to vote for me 😂
@@ThereIsTooMuchButter good idea.
In Portugal we speak portuguese, of course. Why do you think it's called portuguese?
Ireland is not part of the UK
Ireland is not part of the UK!!!!!!
Watching you do this is so funny 😭Thank you
You absolutely havent given Serbia attention. Its the Dark Horse of the contest.
Love your honest reactions!
Norway's song sounds nearly exactly as the swedish song "Run to the hills" by Hanna Hellström.
Sorry to predict the future for you, but your beloved Azerbaijan will NOT qualify from semifinal 1.
how do we tell her...
I liked your stage idea for Czechia with all of the different women singing. Unfortunately only 6 people are allowed on stage at Eurovision so wouldn't quite have the same effect 😞
They can use the LED screen for more :)
@BH O That's true actually! 👍
And pre recorded backings
Could you upload your live reaction to Eurovision onto Patreon after?
Are you doing semi final 2 too?
Yep, Azerbaijan is officially DOOMED, at least they had little chance to qualify before, but now knowing that they're performing in between 2 fan-favourite songs(Sweden and Czechia), they'll totally not qualify :'(
You are quite competent and know Eurovision well… so I enjoyed your reactions 🥰 Best wishes from 🇩🇪 … btw it’s not a „satanic“ song 😂
my top countries are: Moldova, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Iceland, Georgia and Czech Republoc
hello from Portugal , this year Portugal have a good song(for me top 10), Spain France Italy Great Britain Germany (The big five are always automatically in the final) plus the winner last year in this case Ukraine sorry for may English hugs from Portugal
🇫🇮 Käärijä ❤
Are you gonna do a separate reaction to Mama ŠČ official video ?
Don't forget to also react to semifinal 2!!!🤗
Thank you for Amazing and fun reaction to Alesssandra . From Norway
Favour, did you write out that list of the Big Five and stick it on your wall yet?
Spain. Do. Not. Have. To. Qualify.
You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? 😀
Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Italy are never in the semi finals. They are called the big 5 and are already in the final (so is the winning country of last year).
Mimicat - Portugal is full of joy.
Love your energy! I deeply enjoy the vid😊
To explain to you precisely, there are two Semi-Final where competing every Country (except Big 5 🇨🇵🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇹🇪🇸 and Ukraine 🇺🇦, the winner of 2022) :
- 10 songs are chosen after a live performance of 1 semi-final .
- 20 songs complete the final of Eurovision 2023
- the big 5 and Ukraine can vote by televote in only one semi final, So France, Germany and Italy can vote in the first with contestant of this one, the others can vote in the second semi-final with the other contestant
You need to listen Armenia. It's a masterpiece!
The croatian song is an anti war song about russia.
Yes, and the crown refers to the sovereignt. « Don’t still my sister’s crown ».
It seems that Favour didn’t get the meaning 🤷♀️
Also, you should watch Semi-final 2 running order too
I’m Irish and completely agree with your opinion about our song
Check out semi final 2!!!
In both Portugal and Brazil speak in portuguese
You and a guy named SchlagerLucas are the only people that actually like Azerbaijan's song
Lorren won Eurovision with euphoria in 2012
Adorei o " Meu deus" 20:22
Each year there are 2 Semi-finals, which 10 songs qualify from each and compete in the Grand Final, this year 1st semi has 15, 2bd semi has 16 songs, although 2nd semi has 1 more song, 1st semi is 100 times harder than 2nd, cause almost every song can qualify from 1st semi, and no jury, only televotes in semis makes it even harder, cause Switzerland, Azerbaijan and Latvia are easy jury baits
Azerbaijani representatives are twins and these guys wrote and composed their songs themselves. It's actually the first time Azerbaijan wrote and composed their eurovision song themselves
Music in this competition has been mostly so bad that I haven't been watching this thing in years...
First ❤
CROATIA FOR THE WIN 🫶🇭🇷
Lol
Go, go, go CROATIA... ajmooo HRVATSKA❤️❤️👍👍
lol, maybe not the win, but surely to the final 😉
❤🇵🇹
If you like to explore Europe with music you should do Stromae and Rammstein (live). Trust me 😊
Norway! 😍
If you know the song Babushka its the same music
I'm from Ireland - I don't know what to say - I'm sorry?. There really was no other better option. I watched our national vote - the one where we decided on our representative and all the other options, other than a hip-hop one, were no better, like they were the best option from the ones who entered.
It's top 10 for the semi final
Loreen has won in 2012 too
Serbia only true alternative ))
I love your reaction to norway 😊❤
semi final 2?
Germany "Saint and sinner" not "Satan sinner" lol
😂
France, Sweden, Finland
Finland, Käärijä is going to blow the roof 💚💚💚💚
Portugal is in my top 5!!!
Moldova, Czechia and Portugal
Croatia song Israel will air it. We are not Lebanon or Iran. Our country is free.
They all sing Mama ŠČ in Tel Aviv
Liverpool n Ireland we are pretty much Irish us scousers aha
You should react to Top 100 2023 Eliminated National Final songs!
