For all those people, who are complaining because of his english: Joci is coming from a poor family from the countryside, where most likely they didn't focus on foreign languages that much. Appreciate the song he is sending to us, and not his english skills. This is a Song contest, not a language skill contest.
Agree
Szabolcs Tóth And he's not singing in English like O. Torvald or Artsvik
Many people come from poor families still can and will learn English very well. Plus, he has been long enough in the industry to be able to learn English. I appreciate the song even if I cannot connect to it at all, however, not even trying to speak English is a shame indeed.
But he speaks the language of music and love... I am not convinced you came here to speak love, and haters we don't need around here, sorry!
Since when is learning English a requirement to be in the music industry? He has a translator so there's very little getting in the way of communication. You remind me of some of my fellow Americans who think that immigrants need to learn English or get out when they've already struggled so much to get here and you're unfairly judging them on trying to learn a language
I visited Budapest last year. The Hungarian people are so so friendly, warm and welcoming.
A beautiful city with beautiful people inside and out.
Think I've fallen in love with Joci
Booby Manfanny thank you very much...love from hungary
I love the translator! she seems so friendly.
I, do
William Sowden I think she's the one playing the violin in the stage
Nice!
Peter Dyrberg Yes, she is:)
she's the interpreter, not the translator...
He speaks so beautifully.
Hungary has best song of the year
Ethno+modern sound+violin+uniqueness=bomb
IMHO, Hungarian song this year is superb. An absolute masterpiece. If Italy is destined to lose, I would like it to lose only to Hungary.
Thank you from Italy. I really like Origo too, that creates and atmosphere and Joci is so talented.
Hey, Italy has also a great song and if Hungary looses then hopefully to Italy or Israel :))
He's amazing. that voice connects directly to my heart.
Oooooooooh, We , Hungarians thank You:)
This song has really grown on me! Wishing Hungary good luck!
He seems very nice and peaceful! Good luck Joci and thank you people for supporting our country! (Hungary)
I looooooooooooove his song !!! He's such a lovely guy !! ps : the translator is super sweet too !! - Portugal
Great interview William! ☺ Love Joci, I think he's really inspirational - and Origo is an amazing song, one of my favourites this year! ♥
Thanks for watching. I find him very touching. Such a pleasure speaking with him.
He is my favourite and i dont care if he cant speak English :) I love him and his song, his voice is beautiful. I hope he will be able to sing like this on Eurovision stage too :)
I love his song. I think it's emotional and complex but still really easy to follow along with if you don't speak Hungarian or Romani. It's a beautiful and haunting melody.
I like the Hungarian entry so much! Love from Poland!!! ❤❤❤
he is not hungarian... he is Gypsy
He is hungarian gypsy. And he is precious! I'm very happy that we have this kind of young people with real talent!
Florek Nawrocki Köszönjük!
HUGE thanks for the interview! :) You were great! :D
he's really hot
I'm glad you like him.
Finally we get a chance to hear more from him. I had no idea what he was singing about even though his song is so emotional and you can feel his pain. He is the true representative of this year slogan - Celebrate Diversity. Many gypsy people might give him a vote, but not just them because his song is amazing to me.
The best one this year! So pure and original
Bravo for the talented Joci, Bravo for the enthusiastic translator, and Bravo for the smart & professional interviewer William Lee Adams! 🕊
12 points from Russia to Hungary! Best of luck
Joci has a beautiful voice and I really hope this song does well.
Our boy!!!!🇭🇺❤️
after i learned the lyrics i understand why he has so many emotions when singing it, we should all stop once and for all with the social darvinism because that was an exuse to dominate and use people in africa asia america etc and to consider superior. i have roma friends and i would really love to see them proud of their origins but sometimes it's not the case because of their hard life as un unwanted minority. all the best to hungary this year final is secured and it can reach top 10 in my opinion
I like his modesty, from my home country 😄 Go, Joci !!!
I want to learn Hungarian so baadddd! Go Hungary you are one of the few who really understood the slogan this year
ehhehehe good luck.. i don't want to give you false hope, but is actually the most difficult language in Europe, you need dedication,patience and a lot of hard work .. i have Spanish friend who trying from 2 years and still is hard for her... speaking is the easy part, reading is hard,but writing correctly is almost impossible for foreigners ehheh I hope the best for you :)
Is it weird that I find reading a bit easier than speaking? haha :) my mum speaks Hungarian and she talks to me sometimes but when I go to my grandmas I have to speak Hungarian and I struggle to answer what she says. I understand most of what she says but I can't respond, only with "nem" "igen" "nem tudom" "Szia" "jo reggelt" "jo este" "choci" :D I have a Hungarian fairytale book and I can read some of it because I read it in a way that sounds right to me and my mum says that it is right - "egyszer volt, hol nem volt" :D
And 195 2nd hardest language in the world to learn lol
I am happy i speak hungarian tbh
what's the first?
Athena Jamaranian mandarin hehe
William Lee Adams....you are a top notch interviewer. Why your so great is that you prepare yourself by doing research on the interviewee and yet you are not so structured and force because you know when to go with the flow to her the most out of the interview. You seem like a natural. Kudos to you.
Awww, thank you for watching Kyle! Very kind of you to say!
Best wishes to Joci! Hungary should definitely end up no lower than in the top 5 this year, one of the best songs in the contest
wowww that voice❤
Fantastic voice!
My winner!!!!
my favourite
Hungary for the first place! ❤ Beautiful country and talented people!
Peter Bökfi te meg egy paraszt.
I find it's that kind of eternal melody. I loveit!
It seems like he is singing even when he talks!
His song ist best if allllllll.
amazing william brava! great questions!
Thank you Tanya!
Thanks for explain the song, very interesting.
I love this song. no delusions that it'll win since it's a bit too subdued for that, but it's very sweet and I'll be rooting for it!
Today is the day when I start like this language
Brother from Poland and omg song is great
Dziękuję bardzo from a Hungarian sister! ;)
I hate that people are so close minded that someone doesn't know English. English is not the most important language in the world! People don't need to know it!
Agree, and he is not alone! Francesco (from Italy) knows some English word, but he doesn't speak English too! We are in Europa, we have many very nice languish! Celebrate diversity!
ShroomWalrus I agree! And I prefer if someone sings in her/his native language, makes the song more unique!
English IS indeed the MOST important language in the world today, and is an absolute minimum to learn it for anyone who is not a native speaker of it. Plus, English is a very EASY language to learn compared to others. In an international song contest the audience should be able to sing along a good song, unfortunately, this song is VERY difficult to sing together with the singer...:( Nonetheless, a beautiful song.
+Amira english is easy to learn if your native language is germanic or you start young.
look he is coming from a poor family it wasn't a choice to learn languages....
What a cool guy😍
Actually, I think that Sofi Marinova was the first gypsy to take part in Eurovision. I might be wrong.
I know she is a gypsy, I am Bulgarian. But I wasn't sure if she was the first gypsy or there was someone before her and Josi.
The singer who represented Finland in 1996 was a romani gypsy from what I've read
Remedios Amaya (Spain 1983) is also romani gypsy.
Azucar Moreno I think are Romanis.
Chris Doran who represented Ireland in 2004 is a member of the Irish travelling community. So it looks like there has been many before Joci at Eurovision at different moments in time
That's the best translator ever, such friendly energy :)
I like how he is talking about god 2-3 times and the translator either skips it completely or only describes it as a "higher force" xD
I'n Hungarian and proud of Joci even if he does not win! Also HUGE respect for the girl who is dancing with him for learning that hard dance so good!
Well.. I like him! I love the song! One of my favourite!
This is easily my top 2 (if not a winner for me). It is a breeze of fresh air of ethnicity among generic songs sung in English language this year
Hajrá Joci :)
Hungary loves Joci! Hungary is a very democratic country and Romani people are pushed even by authorities to proove their skills.
I like the song, I like this language. It is too hard to learn I know ,I would like to learn Hungarian and to speak hungarian
We help you! Mi segítűnk neked! :)
Thank u so so much from Kosovo☺ I appreciate it.
Çitaku Jr. you can try with Duolingo! They have a English-Magyar course
Çitaku Jr. You're from Serbia you mean?
Çitaku Jr. No Kosovo is Serbia, Serbia has historic proofs, churches, stories that its Serbian. Kosovo has been Serbian territory for ages. Why do you Albanians want Serbia to give it back if its not Serbian 😂
My favourite of the year!
the woman sometimes says things that are nothing like what he said lol
I noticed too. xD
Mojinjo Give more attention! She did a perfect job!
Szerintem elég jól csinálta úgy legyen értelme amit mond angolul.
He is my favorite this year. There are many kind and good people in this competition, but Joci Pápai has soul. He can sing beautifully without accompaniment.
Thank you! Very good. Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺
I love his song!
The lady reminds me of Daniella from Slovenia!
Beautiful song and natural singer. It was in my top 4 with Italy,Azerbaijan and France. Also happy to see him raise the obstacles that Roma/Gypsy people face almost everywhere on earth ironically as they are the most dispersed people of the world
he's in my top 3
Good Luck from Bulgaria
William I love your questions and thank you for your comments on Joci and the song. I hope Europe will get behind of this song. The rap part is a beautiful prayer to GOD. The song makes me emotional and it is a beautiful example of Hungarian music. As we know gypsy music was always part of the Hungarian culture...William a message for you as for its qualifying chances...I'm writing this only for information. This will easily get through...it will be helped a lot by the Hungarians from Romania(1.2 million are living there), Serbia(300.000 in Voivodina), Ukraine( another 250.000 Hungarians are living there), Croatia, Austria...you know the countries where large communities of Hungarians are living after the second world war.( almost 3.5 million Hungarians are living around Hungary after the Trianon treaty. Only Slovakia where are 500.000 Hungarians cant vote because they aren't this year in the competition...but for the first time the hole Hungarian diaspora will vote in the same semi/final)....that is why I think will get trough easily...So this information I'm sending with love to you guys from wiwibloggs. As for Joci I really hope Europe will get behind this.He fully deserves it. Love your videos wiwibloggers and help him to be promoted. William you are an example for tolerance and that's why I think you should help this romani person to be promoted. Love you all from wiwibloggs
Hajrá Joci!
Joci's dramatic performance in Kyiv has done more good to his people and to Hungary than a BBC documentary. A great song and a fine artist. ALL contestants should sing in their own languages, and not in English, which is done in the name of popularity and commercial success on the global market. The result is disastrous: almost all songs sound the same, Eurovision style, they all look the same, Eurovision style, and we the public cannot tell one singer from another. Of course people want to understand the lyrics! - but that's what subtitles are for. The translated lyrics can also be published on the internet and can be enclosed in the mp3 packages on sale. When an artist performs in his or her national language, the song feels far better, it's only natural. Hungarian performers have done it before, and so have some Albanian, French and Italian singers, as well as some contestants from the countries of ex-Yugoslavia, Spain and Portugal. Interestingly, good songs with foreign lyrics sound intriguing and are much appreciated, as was the case of Rona Nishliu's Albanian song "Suus" in 2012, of Grupo Regina's "Bistra voda" from Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2009, sung in Serbo-Croatian, and of Salvador Sobral's winning performance last Saturday. How come everybody voted for a song in Portuguese which nobody understood? But they did.
I get tears in my eyes everytime I listen to this song even though I don't understand the lyrics. He really knows how to express his pain.
Pápai Joci❤❤❤❤❤❤
His song was sooo amazing, so emotional and beautiful even though I don't understand the language.. I can still hear the pain and strength in the song
Büszkék vagyunk rád Joci. Szép volt
Am I the only one who thinks he is hot?
cool. szép téma dalban
guys turn on the english subtitles on this vid the nonsense that is autogenerated is AMAZING
love the song, love joci!!!
Joci his so nice I love how his representing his culture & the song is just so beautiful & powerful ❤️ From Ireland 🇮🇪
Beautiful emotional song !! Hajra Magyarok!
💚💚💚
if only English was the determinant of the favorites: The United Kingdom would never be on the right side of the scoreboard
the song is zo amazing because even if you can't understand what he says, you see the emotion in it
After knowing the sence of this song I like it even more now!!!
I'm surprised he doesn't know that Esma Redžepova also participated in Eurovision, making him not the first Romani person to participate in the contest. She's often called to "Queen of Romani Music". But regardless of that his story and representation for Romani people is still incredibly important
Isten Segitsen:) Nyerni fog ! God Bless you Hungary will win !!!
I just can't stop listening to this song! Even I don't understand a single word! Well, maybe just one, he says "samurai" in one moment, if I'm right? Anyway I reeeally love it! Regards from your southern neighbors, Serbia! :))
waiting for the people from Artsvik's video, complaining about Joci's english skills
MrArmen11111 Well, at least Joci doesn't have a song in English unlike other participants with English songs, that don't speak a word English.
Francesco Gabbani too.
First, I do not blame Joci for his English, as do the rest under Artsvik's video. I think that the English has no relation to the singer's abilities, his human and professional qualities and finally English is not a MUST
As for other singers who sing in English, I think it is not necessary a fluent English to understand and deliver a song in English.
P.S. We are not proffessional in MS office or Windows when we use it
Are you sure that they don't understand what they sing? I don't know about Torvald, but as for Artsvik you can see that she understand most of the questions, but she replies with a translator in order to be more confident, and maybe her oral skills are not good because of lack of practice??
Or there's the possibility that the artists might word something badly and it'll end up as a tabloid title, having a translator would avoid that issue
For the translator: He's not the first roma in ESC, In 2009 Czech Republic was represented by Gipsy.cz
Hope he does well.
Edyta Górniak is half-Romani (Poland 1994)

LO AMO Y AMO SU CANCIÓN. FAVORITE!
büszkék vagyunk rád Joci!
Legjobb vagy Joci ❤❤❤❤❤
😍😍😍
I loved this song and its dance. It reflets the cultural diversity of Europe (even though racist conservatives do not agree with that). It is good to know about the story of this song. Thanks for sharing.
When you listen it... és magyar vagy.
♥
how are you? köszönöm nagyon jól xD én sírok. Joci te nagy ász vagy. Remélem jövőre is ilyen színvonalas lesz..
Nagyon jó
Íme a Eurovision Dalfesztivál 2017 következő győztese! Ez a dal nagyon, nagyon szép! A hivatalos videóklipp gyönyörű is. Szeretem Magyarország, és a magyar nyelv. Ezért tanulok magyarul itt Hollandiaban. Három hét mulva megyek Budapesten újra! Azt remélem, hogy ez a dal fogja nyerni a Dalfesztivált!
Ügyes vagy, de van benne egy két hiba. A magyar nagyon nehéz. Nagyon sok szabály van benne.
Simply Rider Hol van a két hiba?
Jos Verboven csak nagyon picik: is gyönyörű, Magyarországot és a magyar nyelvet, Budapestre.
Simply Rider Köszi!!!
He looks beautiful 😍
personalmente è molto bravo
👌👍
Legalább a tolmács szépen beszéli a british inglist :D
Here is the lyrics for those who doesn't understand Hungarian
Joci Papai-Origo
Origin
Versions: #1#2
You need to close your eyes,
so you will see me.
You need to know my soul,
To conquer my heart.
If you don't need me, let me leave
I was born a loafer.
I had already suffered enough,
but God sees my life.
Yaloma lomma, yaloma lomma
Yaloma lomma lomalom
Yaloma lomma, yaloma nedinna
Yaloma lomma, lomalom
Why did you lie to me that,
Doesn't the color of skin matter?
You know that I've brown eyes,
It is invariably.
I'm not asking at you more
Get out of here, leave me!
I don't wanna seeing you.
I curse you forever.
Yaloma lomma, yaloma lomma
Yaloma lomma lomalom
Yaloma lomma, yaloma nedinna
Yaloma lomma, lomalom
God was talking with me, when I was 4 years old.
I knew only he can take care of me
I was practicing with it a lot like a samurai.
I can trust Him, he will always tell the truth
I can cry with Him, and he will show the way.
This alliance will remain forever
We are inseparable, he is the most supreme treasure.
Mysterious forces were in childhood.
They were afraid of him, he appears in the eyes.
The strings are attacked, the body is crying
You defend yourself unnecessarily, as if it is a poison in a instrument.
She is soaked it from people
you can hear the melody you know my name.
It's a long road, I've sores on my back
Tears of Thousand people are played in my guitar.
What is the name of the musical instrument heard in the song?
minden szó amit mond igaz!!!!✋✋🎀
I understand all two language :) i living 6 year at hungary sorry for my bad English :(
jól ènekeltèl Joci :)
