Greece 2015 : Sends an english song, makes final.
"OMG GREECE WE WANT ETHNIC SOUND"
Greece 2016 : Comes with a Greek ethnic song
"OMG GREECE, STAY IN THE SEMIS"
Greece 2017 : Comes with an english song, makes the final
"OMG GREECE, WE SAID WE WANT ETHNIC! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
Greece 2018 : comes with a Greek ethnic song again
"OMG GREECE, STAY IN THE SEMIS AGAIN"
Greece 2019 : Greece comes with an english song.
Let me guess what happens next...
Exactly my thoughts! If people want a song with ethnic sound so much at least they should vote for it...
HAHAHAHA loooveee you!!! This is exactly what happens every motherfreaking time! I love when people appreciate Greek ethnical music but obviously Europe doesn't nor the jury.
Interesting that within the songs you mentioned, I love last year’s and this year’s. 2015 was too dramatic, 2016 was a hot mess, and 2017 should be renamed “This Is Bland”.
Greece could've qualified in 2018. Sadly, they messed up the staging.
@@BradyHuangful I'm not an expert, but if the song is good, idc bout staging. I know nowadays it's all bout show. But for example this years entry from the Netherlands and IF they would just let him sing without big boom boom staging I wouldn't give a f..., still touched and good song.
Dear lord, the stereotypes are going strong in this video! There is so much more to opa and whatnot in Greek music and we finally get a glimpse of that! I'm actually really proud of my country this year, it's probably the best song we've sent in aaaaages!
totally agree. For some people it is difficult to grow out of sterotypes. If it is a song made in Greece by Greek people it is a Greek song no matter what. I adore the Greek language.... but if Greeks want to sing in English....why not?!? the 21st century has reached Southern Europe too.
Amen!
You should be proud this is a complete banger. Personally is my favourite song from semi 1 alongside Cyprus and Belgium
Greece is one of the best countries in Eurovision. This is top 5 material I love it so unique
This is my top choice. Sorry Daeva and Noosh but Greece is showing here that only fools dare to stereotype them...
fortunately most Europeans have stopped stereotyping other Europeans and their music...
@@mimmiblu6138 no they have not.
She did the same to other songs like the one from Austria, only disrespectful and insulting towards artists imo.
We are not only about OPA. I m SO TIRED of people missing the Greek vibe. I see nothing german in the german song, Maltese in the Maltese song,czechish in the Czechich song,Icelandic in the Icelandic song ETC.
In Czech republic they have czech language**
@@tom_4546 Actually it should be Czechia but nobody uses that term :P
@@johny7even yeah but CZ language is not good in songs, actually, so i am happy that they staying with english ...
@@tom_4546 That's a whole different topic
Ok, so Greece is the only country in the whole competition that is supposed to send something traditional all the time? Cause every time they do something different everyone is being petty while if another country sent something different they would get praised for changing things up.
fuck them they are just jealous....people are so selfish nowadays
ok so Greece should always send opa's and souvlaki
the nordic countries should always send vikings
germany stick to beers
france!!! the baguettes and eiffel tower!!!!!11!!11
spot on😉😂😂
I mean, France always seem to somewhat stick to their attributed style of music and are forced to have at least 60% of their lyrics in French.
First comment. Well guys, this is pretty massive in Greece at the moment. I did an interview with Katerine and she's the most gorgeous person inside out. They're preparing something beautiful and artistic, similar to the music video. I would like to add that it hasn't always have to be an OPA, bouzouki and sirtaki thing. We can do much more than that. That's the magic about it our entry this year, that is outside our comfort zone. Something actually different. And we're proud that we have this artist with this song in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much for this reaction. From Greece! ❤️🇬🇷
You forgot to say that they are preparing something that we have never seen in Eurovision!!!!
Nikolas Sakkas - you nailed it! I feel flattered that Europe likes our ethnical music, but please dont underwhelm this masterpiece because we did once a modern pop song everyone would be thrilled when it would come from Sweden. I'm really looking forward to Greece entry this year cause katerine is slaying! I see this year as a prove that we can do both, world pop and still our own cultural songs.
@@akasapidxx805 as an Italian I can't agree more.
@@mimmiblu6138 thank you! Love Italys entry this year btw, appreciate it so much that you did this super cool upbeat song in your beautiful language.
You guys are going to the final Greecebthus year is amazing definitely one of the best songs this year
What's with all the comments about wanting a traditional Greek song? Its a great song sung very well with a wonderful visual. Enjoy it for what it is...... I really feel like some of the commentators missed the point. This could be a massive radio hit in Europe
Not only in Europe, I can see this being a hit worldwide. If a top artist sang this song it would be an instant top 10 hit and be played all over radio.
If you like ethnic vibes, why don't ask to other countries which are more international to bring ethnic stuff?? For example, Belgium, the Netherlands or Sweden.
You always want that cliche's ethnic countries such as Serbia, Greece, Armenia or Montenegro bring the same every year. Stop! Countries deserves to bring diversity of sounds and, honestly, Greece has done an amazing job.
Και Ωραίο τραγούδι Ελλαδάρα!!! Εγώ σ'αγαπώ με στιν καρδιά μου Ελλάδα. Sorry if I got any mistake, but since 5 years that I don't practice my greek
So True. She should see your comment.
Exactly and you wrote it right ❤
@@vibing7299 what does it say?
@@alexisdenis4271 it's a part in Greek, it says: Bravo Greece, great song! I love you with all my heart "
Last year our song was in greek and the sound was also greek. We havent got sponsors and we have not reached the final. So people what do you really want ?????? I want a good song.
This is always THE trap in Eurovision.. Greece must have "opa" , Sweden must have upbeat, Balkans must do like "Bregovic", Italy must have lyrics in their language etc etc etc .... Just enjoy the diversity of songs and don't categorize them depending on where their from...
If someone doesn't like the song, I dont mind, eveyrbody is entitled to their opinion, music taste can be different among people. But it's just ridiculous to expect Greece to only send ethnic type of songs! Do people actually believe that Greeks spend their day yelling opa every other minute and breaking plates, or dance to nothing but bouzouki and klarino? I love and respect tradition, but there's also this thing called contemporary music, and Better love is exactly that.
Exactly. I think it's good when a country shows variety instead of sending the same type of songs all the time.
Just like every country we can send whatever we want!
Showing Greek diversity gives me much more faith that this will end up top10 in the finals. My personal #3...
I didn’t like it at first like Daeva, but why be so rude about it?
She’s rude about everything
She is really disrespectful
Cos she's high!?
None is rude here exept daeva
Yes...She is just mean, not honest...
Does the Norwegian girl like anything????
David McCutcheon I guess you missed the Georgia video!
Look at Moldova lol
It's a Eurovision song CONTEST, not a wedding. This is a high quality Prudction from Greece. I always get sad when people dont try to give it a chance cause no 'opa' while it would boom when it would have been represented by another country.
Hello and Iceland, Norway, Cyprus, there’s a few she liked.
Ikr!!! She is always talking shit about everything!!!
This song is a shoe-in for a top 10 if not top 5 position in the final
Katerine Douska was born in Montreal to Greek parents. That's why her accent
Now I understand her accent and her "Florence" voice. You send us your Celine Dion!
@@Speeder76 Thx. Many people also call her the Greek Amy Winehouse.
Hello Miko! 🇦🇲
It’s nice and different for Greece. Sometimes, a little change from the norm is a good thing.
hello :)
Top 5 ✔ for sure 💚
Every year greece sends ethnic songs but this year they tried sth new and everyone is salty about
not everybody.... good job Greece. see you in the final again... I was do sorry for "Oniro muo" last year...
Haha, poor Norwegian girl, she expected something summery, colourful and ethnic from us and she gets Brit-pop instead... :)
Hahahahaha
I for one love that Greece tries something new and not the same tried and tired ethnic sound. That ethnic sound lost it's appeal years ago. This is the best Greek entry in years!
I like the song, it's a very Florence & The Machine-like - and I'm a fan. It has everything to be a "top ten", and maybe it will.
Yes! Jess Glynn! People in Greece have been comparing Katerine Douska to Amy Winehouse for some reason. She doesn't sound anything like the Rehab singer. Jess Glynn is the perfect comparison, although apart from this song, she sings her other songs in a deeper voice. A bit sad that not everyone liked the song. Greece is really going above and beyond for Eurovision this year!
Just for fun, my ranking of the commentators:
01. Luke, you gave the best comments overall, thoughtfull and complete.
02. Chloe, I love your accent. You are gorgeous!
03. Louise, I like you already. You are invited in my next party.
04. Katie, you are a classy lady. You express your thoughts clearly and elegantly.
05. Noosh, your look is mediterranean. You could easily pass as Greek.
06. Daeva, you seem really extroverted. Just wait a few years, a new "OPA" song will come up.
07. Matt, show your feelings, don't just describe them.
08. Miko, you sound confused about your feelings.
Thank you all for your comments.
Kisses from Greece!!!
How lovely of you! Thank you for your nice words :)
Loved Greece last year,it was my favv,so sad it kinda failed live.
Absolutly love Greece this year too!
Doesn´t matter the genre-A good song is a good song!
Ellada-Saga´po para polli!Filakia! 12p fr swe
In the beginning everyone "Oh THAT VOICE"!!!!
Being a Greek myself and living abroad the last 13 years, I don’t get this with the stigma of opa etc. Greece have been sending that type of songs for years and also, when in Greece, this is what tourists are being served. So, it’s only normal that people from other countries feel now disappointed, wowed or surprised by Better Love, which is by far, the best quality song this year.
Welcome Miko and Matt 🇦🇲 🇬🇧❤️
Lukeeeee I love that you’re in green.. did you record this on Paddy’s Day???🇮🇪 reppin
thank you
ty guys from Greece!!!
Top 5 for sure
The video clip its inspired from The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.Υou will learn more in the future days, because the song refers to female abuse. Love from Greece. ❤❤
No one:
Not a single soul ever:
The Norwegian girl: OPAAA
You know what people, they know that Greece is a contender for the victory and they try to talk this AMAZING TRACK bad.....But thank God many millions of people will vote AND NOT JUST THE KNOWN CZcamsRS here!!!.......don´t be afraid ESC Fans cause Greece will fight and will be a deserved contender for the VICTORY in Tel Aviv !!! Top 5 for sure....i say TOP 3 with Netherlands and Russia !!!
She reminds me so much of Gusy Ferreri 🇮🇹, who has that kind of voice!
Greeks are not only "opas" and summer "cheap" music!Yes we`ve sent a lot of crap in Eurovision lately (in my opinion)so i understand how some people are surprised by this!We have a lot of great artists in "unpopular" music genres too!I`m happy you like it!P.S Alcohol is free was my favourite of all!:)
Αφού σας αρέσουν τα ethnic κομμάτια γιατί πάμε κουβά κάθε χρόνο ;;
Aaaw thanks from Greece that was so cute
Great vocals without doubt and will probably qualify for the final without too much trouble but i won't be downloading this.
Daeva, harsh girl....harsh!!😂😂😂
love it
We are not only opa sweety...and we are not in opa mood...we want to send something else...also good... her voice in lives is perfection...amazing...!!! And her name is Katerine Douska a Greek young signer girl fron Canada from Greek parents and now she lives and working in Greece....
I think it’s the best song ❤️
You didn't like the song because you were expecting something "ethnic." The song is of world class quality but you were just so fixed with the thought that Greece should send ethnic and traditional songs that you failed to judge the song impartially. What a shame.
Greek Brothers, I feel you.
Half of Europe wanted Italians to send back Il Volo, because is so stereotypical of Italian Music.
Why there has to be countries that have to send ethnic music while other "have the right" to produce something else?
People doesn't understand that we can get EASILY tired of all the Opas and the Mamma mia, Pizzeria they mention. There's more!
As for the song, Μπράβο!!! This is such an underestimated entry. I want Greece in top 3.
I agree with you!! Italy and Greece have such a huge culture but some people translate that as a "no future" situation! Our past is important but we need to build a future in our culture as well
The reason why we didn't sent a song in Greek is because last year we sent sth that was in Greek was talking about Greece and the crisis she is coming through and then we didn't even go to the final. So this year we desided to send sth that is international and cool and everyone would at least think is ok .
I hate cultural appropriation ... Please someone tell me what traditional vibes should I get from any other country ?
With all respect.. I believe that in essence some people they don't like it anything . Εssentially you didn't see the effort οf the performance . Υou stood in stereotypes who have taught you with regard to the culture of our country. Like a whole culture down to being > but really, we have a lot more internal world .We are cultivated people and we want somehow to prove it ! Trust us and just enjoy the result . If we are not in the final, I'm sure that's an important part that will have to do with political beliefs . I would really be glad if you focus in our worthwhile effort and don't focus so much in our political emptiness ! We are a country quite decent with good feelings for our surrounding countries ! We have a social background and a good sense of our social statehood. Please don't rush to judge us negatively due to prejudices . I wish our stage presence to stand, worthy of expectations . We wish all countries a good success !!
❤️ love Matt
Was Daeva extremely annoying or am I biased being Greek?
Still waiting for the reaction to Armenia’s 🇦🇲song like 🤔
What’s diversity without countries deciding if they want to do something popy or something very ethnic
she wants "opa" and greek "kamaki". Whake up girl.....Greece is not only that. Give that wolf a banana!!!
Also, Eurovision Hub you need some Slavic reaction here!
A. S.
They need to come to them. Eurovision hub don’t just pick random people. People have to ask
Britiains got talent:
GOLDEN BUZZER TIME
She sound just like jess gylne
I might hold off watching this since it's past midnight now and I need to sleep but I'm sure I'll enjoy this as usual.
As far as the song, while it's sad that that Greece is going back to doing English pop songs this year, I must say that this is a true gem of a track, and much deeper in lyrical content than say..their 2017 effort. Hopefully and I'm pretty sure that she will pull this off live because I can't see no other scenario that she can't (unless sickness strucks). I do hope Katerine would have a Greek version of this (or French if she's fluent considering she's from Montreal originally) laying around somewhere.
In short: This is miles and miles better than "This is Love". (See what I did there hehe)
With opa only under the 10th place the last years
Everyone missed out on Tsakouridou in the video, the model in Greece's next top model
katarine duska is canada
Yeah I like the song but also I expect the native sound. The music video is a bit much for me, too much happening and I can't focus to the song but when I hear only the sound it is a good song and also it grows on me bit by bit. I expect this to be in finals.
React stefania super girl 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Eurovision
just why greece has always to be ethnic? the UK or Ireland don't send something folk..Italy too...there are many examples of countries...Bravo Hellada
P.S It's not the ''opa'' or the ''ya mas'' It's a song contest we have to chace the unexpected like Iceland this year after all those 1-2 star songs..they are also coming with something fresh...
Um Norway was so rude..
react to switzerland and the Netherlands
Someone make Daeva watch Jemini 2003 on loop.
Hi guys! Can you please react to the Israeli entry HOME by the amazing Kobi Marimi? Thanks in advance 🇮🇱 🙏
Daeva is a malaka.
Yall bishes want something traditional but never vote it 😂
Where Russia reaction🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 ?
This is so international. Probably not even top 10 but still this is good.
You love her voice? It sounds like she's singing from the nose.
Tendré que acostumbrarme a la mala vibra y sarcasmo de Daeva, he dejado de ver muchos de sus vídeos desde que ella pertenece a Eurovision Hub
In Europa no one winning with ethnik music, sorry.
I love Noosh! I always agree with her! And today I can't agree more! I miss the ethnic Greek sound!
and I would like to see Sweden with something authentic and not with a copy of Austria but it has not happened
that is a Greek sound if it was made in Greece by Greeks
breaking news : the whole of Southern Europe lives in the 21st century, too.
@@mimmiblu6138 I didn't say it isn't Greek... I said I miss ethnic sound, something that transports me to Greece while I listen to it, just like the last year. There is no need to sound dated though, music can sound current and ethnic at the same time.
@@user-qu2ch2mw1s I disagree about the Austria copy, but I would like to see Sweden sending aschlager entry. By the way, the public choose Sweden entry so it was a democratic selection, which is ok for me. Suedes sends what people chose to represent them.
@@mimmiblu6138 hahaha so true, want to break the like button!
NOOSH and few others out there don't undervauate yourselves! As a born and bread Greek i really find stupid the way you indentify Greece with the"opa" thing!!! I take it as an insult actually!!!
I don't like it because the background music is too loud and harsh. This song would be good in an acoustic version. Her vocals are selling it though.
I loved Greece 2018, wanted it to win!!! This year? Unfortunately I don't like Duskas voice, sorry, it goes too much through her nose ...
Why do I relate to Daeva in this reaction video lmao
OK before you hit thumbs down I'll delete myself bye
i agree with Daeva
I did not like the song either.
The song is ok, not great. the voice, I personally can't stand it, esp the first verse. too nasal, not my thing. wouldn't listen to it, will never vote for it.
The song is fantastic. If a top artist sang this it would be an instant hit and be all over the radio.
@@sav0001 might be, doesn't change how I feel about it. (plus half of the sh*t that's on the radio these days I don't get why it's popular)
