4:01 "Ok, here's what I think" *song keeps going*
🤣
i laughed so hard
I'm so surprised by your reaction... I wasn't a fan of Voda. Just somehow too boring for me. But this... I absolutely LOVE Amen (even though it kinda should've been called Hallelujah)!
I think this is so much better than her last years entry. Such a powerfull ballad. I think Jurys will love this. A with a powerfull statging this can get a good televote result as well. Good luck Slovenia.
Ana has best song in the moment. I am completely sure that she will be dark horse of 2021. "Amen" is so much better then "Voda", and I am sure in grear result of my neighbours.... 12 points from Croatia !!!❤🇭🇷🇸🇮🙏
It sounds UK. I'm from there and used to everyone copying us🤣
I 100 % agree with you Mario! 👍😀
Slovenia and Croatia is in my top 5! 😍😍😍
Also 12 points from Croatia
You said the ending of the song is necessary, i cant agree with you. The ending is amazing. The producer of the song Žiga Pirnat designed the choir in which also sings Dorian Holley, the backing vocalist of Michael Jackson, with whom Dorian performed on all tours.
I just have such a good idea, put the ending right before last chorus
I don’t know what it is with this song but it has me sold. It feels like it should just be an ordinary song to me but it has something about it that instantly drew me in🤷🏼♂️
Is it because she sounds exactly like Su-Rie for the UK the other year? it does sound Englisb
Beautiful song ❤️
We all will be suprised how good she will do in Rotterdam. Odds will put her in last places. But honey she will destroy us with her vocal and song. This voice will not stay in semis. For sure. Best Slovenian result. Mark my words. I know I sound crazy. But I have good feeling about her.
William and Deban you're the best!
Go Slovenia! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
I couldn’t have said it better myself, Slovenia will KILL IT in Rotterdam 🇸🇮
So do i
In the words of Tanja Ribič: "Zbudi se"
@@gregjuicey In the words of Lea Sirk: Hvala ne! 😉
Slovenia could win the jury vote this year
The ending was not nessesary? It was the best part!!!
It sure it was... when it ended
Of course it was!
I actually didn't pay attention to the lyrics and I actually thought that everyone was randomly saying Hallelujah (but yeah amen not so much why am I so dumb), but I was dragged into this song and I had chills from the first chorus on! Her voice is so strong! And I don't have a problem with the song being a ballad because for the moment there are not that much ballads in the contest
Also I'm not religious in any way so yeah the lyrics are a disadvantage
And yeah I wish she would've sung in Slovene
That is exactly what I mean it drags you in lyrics aside it's when you hear something like Avicci's song I'm blessed and all you hear are those words it's a tune great guy! She is a great singer ☺️
@@frenchhufflepuffie83 Lyriscs are not meant for God, please don't judge the song and remember that Ana isn't against LGBTQ etc. just beacuse the title of the song is Amen
@@frenchhufflepuffie83 This song is not actually religious...
It supports anyone, without depending on his/her religion, who is currently facing difficulties in life, through the metaphor with the Christian God, which is the embodiment of a reliable friend. It calms down, teaches to accept the fear. Then rises the spirit saying that if persevered, you will definitely win this fight (first of all, with yourself), and happiness is waiting in the end.
I totally trust Ana capabilities and the song will be waayyy better in the live performance just like Voda.
Much better than Voda. This is actually one of my favourites so far.
Best song this year hands down ✋
I love it. It's like a redemption type song that bring you to church and give you strength. I thought when she started singing was a man of how deep her voice was. But we need alto in esc. Bravo Slovenia. Bravo Ana!
Best winner 2021
Us Slovenian people r proud✋🏻
Yes 😊👍
And you should be! Best of luck from The Netherlands!
❤️ the song
@@theFOF best of luck to u too💕
Yes🥺👍😌
This is winning song! Amen!
I love it!!!!!
Absolutely PHENOMENAL! Don’t count her out, I think Slovenia could be a force to be reckoned with in Rotterdam! I wasn’t a fan of Voda, but her voice and the production elevates this to the next level!
The delayed moment was the best part for me! This is a dark horse this year. The message of this song is what the world needs right now. People need this message. People need the Lord! This world is not our permanent home. Where are you going to spend eternity? John 3:16
Love love love🤩🤩🤩💗💗💗
Winner 2021
What about diversaty, equality, connecting people, be humen to human.....Halleluja we are glorius......Rainbow power.....thats the meaning of this song ....Amen
Ana Soklic is better than the song, but the older audience will really appreciate this. I hope she does well. She has a voice which deserves it.
"because the story is pretty clear: amen, hallelujah". Oh boy. William, I love you so much.
Darlings, you two have missed the point this time. Ana might surprise us all.
I totally agree! Guys, it is pandemi, we need some miracle!
Or maybe... they just have their own opinions? I don't get these arguments like "you missed the point", "you simply didn't understand", etc. Opinions are always subjective, they are based on number of individual factors, and every person will focus on something different while explaining their view.
@@JakubHalat It's OK to have own opinion, but at least they should've listened to the song, they didn’t give it a chance. That's why I say they've missed the point - by not listening the song.
@@Eli-pe6ku I absolutely agree with you! They didn't focus on the song itself. Therefore is that opinion of these 2 boys, based on an unprofessional view on this amazing Gospel/Ballade Song of Ana, with her unique voice!
This is really good , love this .💥
Glad you like it!
I love it I think it’s beautiful
Dark horse of the year? I could see this being a jury favorite! My winner so far! 🇺🇸❤️🇸🇮
😂😂😂
@@Unfortunate2857 HAHAHA that’s too funny I’m cringing I’ve changed
Am I listening to a different song? I love this song. Super surprised to see how low down the betting order this is. I think Ana's vocals are showcased perfectly here and the last third is super dramatic. I love this.
I think it's su-Rie II
@@veggie42 Haha hey Collette.....what do you mean out of curiosity? As in its not going to do well like Surie :-)
AnA is the best vocalist of 2021 ESC. Without doubt.
It depends if you look at the song from artistic value, techical value or spiritual/emotional value...and it depends where you are in life at this moment...for a person who is going through some hard times, this is uplifting and loving, for someone who rides a high wave is boring and preachy and someone who is looking at the voice and the music arrangement will appreciate its content...so as I said, it depends where you are in life...I like it...but I would like a Eurovision surprise like Portugal was years back!
I'm literally so happy that this year we have a powerful ballad in the mix!
I know people dont get it, but that's because its a genre that is often underappreciated and overlooked in favour of pop, r&b and dance. I can imagine this will be a dark horse. Theyre going to do something amazing with it, I can feel it!
I'm done with people praising generic pop songs sung by semi naked sexy women (ie Cyprus). Its done to death, yet people still go wild for the obvious and the predictable 🙄 We need this in the mix. I really appreciate this being so leftfield. Its not usually my type of music, but i'll make an exception for this. It would be a great closing song in the competition.
Ps: 6:26
Deban, 'Subhan Allah' is what they say when something is amazing or something is appreciated 😊 its not used for something that people don't like or don't appreciate. It literally translates to "Praise the lord".
I totally agree. I wish this song would go to the top.
Hi, Slovenia's song is excellent. This year's Eurovision has several Biblical and apocalyptical songs. It is interesting to analyze Slovenia, Austria, Cyprus and Greece.
SLOVENIJA ❤️🇸🇮👍👏
I actually appreciate this song then most songs I have heard to far. I don't think you appreciate how good it actually was because maybe because its a ballad or maybe we are just used to bad music these days, I don't know.
I Hope she will qualify !
Well... I really like it.
This is good.This is really good.👍😄
This is gold. I never expected Ana to go with gospel, but damn. This is so good!
Wow what a voice n performance gotta be in top 10
I just hope she can put the last part of the song ( where the band is singing) to the song. I love it 😊
I love how Deban was just waiting on that disco beat that never happend😂
Hey, shoutout from outside Cambridge, MA! :) I happen to really like this song, and her voice is amazing. It may not finish high but it really grabs your attention it will certainly get lots of jury votes!
If you're from the UK it sounds like Su-Rie
I know the last part is an outro and probably they are not going to keep it in the performance for Eurovision (the allowed time of three minutes wouldn't do it possible) but I thought the same as Deban: ELEVATION! That part is like a "take me to the church" moment.
She deserves the top 10!
She may, the song doesn't, IMO.
@@bsxboy Deserves it way more than the overhyped Cyprus song.
@@sav0001 thanks!
My third place so far, I clearly see juries as a strong backup points giver as they were with Tamara Todevska
I don't see how's Tamara relevant. I think you miss the importance of the lyrics factor. Tamara's song had a narrative. Women's empowerment is very "fashionable" in this era. Ana's lyrics are all about religious preaching which is definitely out of fashion. It's not current at all and I don't see it getting any support from the juries or the televoters. Ana is a very strong performer (in terms of vocals AND stage presence) and personally I like this melody. Much more than Voda and than Tamara's song. But the lyrics are a huge flaw of this entry and they will take it all the way down to a shipwreck. Stands no chance to do well.
I love ballads for some reason
I don't think the lyrics are religious at all, or in particular preaching to "go to church". Hallelujah is a common phrase used in non religious context, also Amen, which is used by other religions too. But the point of the lyrics is general "don't give up" theme, encouraging you to be strong and to appreciate life. I don't agree with William who said that the story is pretty clear, amen and hallelujah...well, not really...
Agree 100%
Because the lyrics is not religious. The song is open to wider understanding to be closer to most of the people....it speaks to everybody. It is one of the most majestic songs at the Eurovision song contest.
Please, please...PLEASE!!!!! Slovenia, keep that ending!!!! ❤️
I've never laughed soo hard love from UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😂😂😂
Totally disappointed with you guys !!!! Slovenia 🇸🇮 is really great song 🎧 totally underrated, and not fair & harsh reviews from you!
I absolutely agree with you Marjan! 👍😃
LISTEN... so what if it's preaching song? It's diversity. That's what makes you special and stand out. Just because you don't do certain things in your life doesn't give you right to judge other people on doing it.
I have a feeling they’re just dragging it because of the religious tones. It’s pretty epic to me. Written by Charlie Mason who wrote Rise Like a Phoenix.
yass and many people say she reminds them of conchita wurst bcos of her deep voice :)
It is epic, and I think we need epic instead of tralalalalala, cup, cup, tup, tup, ah, oh....oh, yeah...of the naked women.
it sounds like Storm by Su-Rie
This song is on fire!! But people are gonna underrated Slovenia cuz it's from Slovenia..
Exactly ! :))
No this is not on fire except if you mean literally on stage. AND it is NOT because it is from slovenia. Song is bittish boring. It is not slovenia fault ❤️
Dont make victim od yourself...its boring
it's like Su-Rie Storm
I love Voda more in terms of catchiness, but this is more competitive. I hope Ana could join the last choir part and move a bit more. And switch the chorus to Slovenian may be better
probably not, the chorus in the video is not Slovenian, I think it is American, I actually do not know what will happen on the stage or if the staging will change.
Deban; this is technically not a ballad but rather an anthem.
Not an anthem. Its a power ballad through and through
It's like Su-Rie Storm
I love The Vatican’s entry of this year!
LOL!
I think this is like PROUD by Tamara- it's a grower and it's going to stage well and gain momentum. First listen I was on the fence but it grew on me on the second listen. I'm seeing it in the top 10 at the least.
Proud is a powerful song about female empowerment.. Amen is about.. religious stuff?
@@bigmass4792 So????
@@fortymillioncoins9066 so your comparison is pointless
@BigMass there is no religiusi meaning in this song... take a look at the lyriks and if you can conect you see, if not....that is
@@bostjanmirtic5846 I agree! The song is great whatever way you want to see it regardless. I'm like Ana's chances of doing well.
I've been waiting for this reaction for the last two days only to be disappointed by it. Well the jury and viewers will tell how it really is in May. :)
Not sure about the religious theme, but... It's SOOOO much better than last year. Even if I agree with Deban about preferring the way the mamas do the theme.
It is no t religius theme....its all about personality, how to stay strong and honest with yourself and be human to human....take a look on lyriks
At the beginning I also thought that song is worse than Voda but after 3rd hearing I really liked it.
WHAHA "dragging you to church"
oof they were not impressed lol😂oh well its ok i get it thanks for the reaction guys🙌
I do love her voice though. Goosebumps! But the song bores me.
Not totally convinced by the song however I said the same last year with Voda and actually that was my biggest grower from 2020 and I ended up really liking it😂 hopefully the same will happen this year!🥳
If this is not your favorite music style, it is understandable, that your taste is fighting the beauty, but this song will grow to you.
Anyone else who preferred Voda?
Me. Voda was one of my winners last year.
"Voda" was so better than this imo. The built was so well done and the song had that mystical factor which I love. It was my 11th place last year. Now "Amen" is in my bottom 3 and I think it will stay by there. Too preachy for me... 😕
Dark hourse
Will these intros are epic! ☺️
The juries going to eat this UP. LIKE A ALL YOU CAN EATBUFFET
I’m not so sure, it’s a bit all over the place
@Sir Stevia She has North Macedonia and Croatia in her semi though, so that’s pretty much automatic points.
This is WiwiRELIGION
3:59 killed me🤣
Song and her is stunning cmoooon guys! Amen is bothering you, and el diablo is fine? Even the song el diablo is more clichés. Gospel singing is probably the most powerful and most beautiful singing. Remember she’s goiong high!
exactly
As you say...she will slay in Roterdam
@@bostjanmirtic5846 Amen to that!✌🏼😁
Deban better hurry up and find some more songs to like or he may as well skip watching the contest lol
Lol I mean he likes Finland 😅😅
Let Deban pray in peace and hawe great Amen for 2021, Halleluyaaaaaa
You guys this is a good song she ain't preaching sorry guys I didn't feel the religiousness about it. Was she singing religiously to me not really the sound is amazing good. Maybe she was given this song to sing. Aww guys 😢
I do not find it preachy at all no matter the Amen etc....I use this words often and I'm totally not religious. But I love this song. When someone finally says something very truthful, that is when we all can say Amen. Gospel style to tell something important is well chosen.
Storm by Su-Rie "Hey child"
Well, since you were rooting for Hatari, then yes, I get it that you don't like the song... 🙄 And maybe you should actually hear the lyrics... There is nothing religious about it.
Except two words? But what should people respect most? The gift of life! If the whole world is the church, than take me....
Irony Su-Rie this sounds like
Boys.... its not VOUDA :D Just VODA....say it as you wite it :)
Best voice of the last five years, probably. I was (and *I am*) in love with Voda, but sadly I'm not feeling her this year. But I know she will do fine on ESC, with that voice she will be in the final without discussion. I wish Ana the best, always and forever, even if this song is not for me. 🙏🏻♥️
I feel Deban's pain........i was so excited to hear that Ana was not singing a ballad. This started and like Deban, i was waiting and waiting for "Amen" to go uptempo...it took about 1 min 30 before i realised it was not happening....SO disappointed....what does NOT a ballad mean in Slovenian (maybe the same as uptempo in Spanish re:" Memoria"?)
Ana has just stunning vocal ability, that is indisputable, but just feel letdown.......
William, you are being a lot more diplomatic than i would be.....
Jury bait yes but televote?.....no!
Well for Slovenes this is not a very ballad song, but more and ode to...humanity? Style is close gospel but....the song does not "talk to the god" but to all humane race...and her voice is unbelievable strong and powerful, as it is the message. We should believe in people. And this is not religious, but the only truth we deal with and really depend on. And she does not need much staging. I hope she gets far to the top. She is one of the best. And this song could become an Eurovision's classic. It is close to representing what Eurovision song contest used to be. My winner!
it was pretty obvious that she'll release ballad,personally i wasn't excited for her song at all,but was suprised that it's not so bad song
@@nevaklemenc1997 we all knew she was singing a ballad song and you can defend her as much as you want how this is not a ballad song to us...IT'S A BALLAD SONG
I like gospels. Message is strong but as song itself not for Eurovision.
Deban's "elevation" was everything :D
She can sing, but I loved the vibe of her previous song and this doesn't make me feel anything. I guess for some people it can be really meaningful though.
Are you the walking dead?
@@nevaklemenc1997 i guess there is supposed to be an insult in this that I'm afraid I don't really understand :') If you mean that you don't understand why I don't feel anything: I was raised very catholic, my sister and mom even teach classes for young catholic children. So I'm used to religious things and songs. Some make me feel things, some do not. This one feels artificial to me. It's a personal opinion.
What happend to you guys? I dont see your energy anymore! :(
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it seemed to me you were trying to be rude. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, but rolling your eyes and focusing solely on religious aspect, I Got a feeling you took it too personal and were just too rude.
You nailded girl 👍🇸🇮
I’m surprised so many reactors are dumb enough to not realize the 3 min mark. It’s obvious the last part is the credits.
Honestly it's really a shame that the best part is credits. I don't understand why they put it in the official video if it's not a part of the song.
I have a feeling you guys always have a bad opinion about slovenia 😴🥱 and no it’s not esc voice contest it’s a political song contest😅
No and no
Yes, they always make fun of Slovenia, not really nice.
Deban’s reaction when he found out it wasn’t a ballad😂 I was like he’s not gonna be happy
I think this will get several jury votes, not that many televotes... It can go two ways... either barely qualifies in 9th or 10th place or barely misses the final in 11th or 12th place. Borderline qualifier.
I do not know, many people on Internet love the song, surprisingly. Maybe the time for the memorable songs has come back. For the songs you can whistle on the bicycle and feel good.
Have you actually listen to the lyrics???
Deban seems to be constantly unimpressed with this year’s songs (so far). I don’t blame him 😉
Which might turn out to be a great thing for Slovenia.
Honestly, same lol
When is he not unimpressed? Lately the songs he likes don’t do very well, so it’s a good sign when he doesn’t like a song.
If you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to listen to her amazing Eurovision Home Concert performance of Suus. THAT is the kind of emotional, powerful, controlled and captivating vocal performance Ana Soklic is capable of. I hope she comes back another year with a performance that will reach people who, like Deban and William here, find this entry a relatively weak one.
Not bad at all, but I prefer her 2020 entry. Voda was very underrated
I’ve noticed every time wiwibloggs releases a reaction video, the thumbnail always has William looking so nice, and Debin has a silly face! Y’all gotta stop doing debin like that lol!
I like the song. Its very dramatic and just like my taste. I dont like the lyrics. Too preachy i agree. But overall i personally really like it.
I don’t known why, But you all are scared of religion, when you listen something about religion you try to find there a mistake
Will and Deban are back; The Story of Shade Saga...lol
Best ballad so far. I think we need diversity at the esc and why not also a church-gospel song. All in, the vocal omg out of this world. Epic and a masterpiece. The older ESC Fans will love it... Bravo Ana and well done sLOVEnia 🇸🇮👌🥰
Someone can tell me how can I find that sound at 11:16 ?
This is called the "shade button" or "shade button effect" on youtube.
@@Wiwibloggs THANK YOU SO MUCH
You even didnt want to listen to the liriks, I as LGBTQ person totali conect with lirycs..... and like ewery year you dont like slovenias entre, and ee get to tje finale.....mark this number ....shes gonna slay in Roterdam
Savršena je!
William "I'm gonna have some voda". Hilarious!
