- Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel! If you’re new here, my name’s Rachel and I’m a huge Eurovision fan as well as a musician.
In today’s video, I reacted to Serbia’s song for Eurovision 2024, ‘Ramonda’ by Teya Dora.
Great world building here, with an interesting structure which peaks in the last third. Unique approach with the piano purely there as a bass function. Really liking this one.
Initial Score: 7.5/10

My jaw literally dropped to the floor when I heard this for the first time and I believe Serbia could win the jury vote in the grand final!!! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
12 points from Croatia
serbia and portugal should be in the final . we need these ballads
It sounds even better live
No it doesn't
I agree, I didn't pay much attention to the song at first but after her performance at Pze I loved it. It's now 3th in my ranking.
@@esctaco2402 *3rd not 3th
Such a melancholic, but at he same time hopeful ballad, with a very profound meaning. Its about personal, national, and just purely human resilience in face of adversity. A dried flower blooms again as its revived by single drop of water. 💧🥀
Will get tons of my votes from Portugal! ❤❤❤
Sensitive and beautiful. Great song.
beautiful,masterpiece,i hope winner 2024
amazing reaction based on some knowledge and not just liking. Thank you.
♥️♥️🎶
This song grew on me the most out of all the songs. Right now it’s my number six up from the mid twenties. The live version is better, and her voice is so beautiful it’s difficult to rank it low.
Teya Dora the BEST ❤❤❤
This was my favorite, also her live performance is very impactful❤ this is art, this is a story, emotion, not just a club banger like most of the song in receantly year are….
Watch live version, from the national final.
Live version is wow
Live is 100 times better. Like it gives you chills with how amasimg staging they did
Great song and wonderful performance!!
Is absolutly heart and soul catching🇷🇸🇷🇸❤
I'm not normally for ballads in esc but this song is so beautiful it makes me tear up everytime I hear it 🥹
Definitely a fine ballad and I think this will stand out among a lot of the more popular efforts. The juries should appreciate Serbia this year too
Still has to come through public only vote in semis as not many ballads did last year 🇪🇪 (Estonia) being the exception but then in the final it collapsed with public albeit done by the running order in between 🇮🇹 (Italy) & 🇫🇮 (Finland) with kaarija either side of Allika who both finished in the top 5.
Winner totally
Amazing song Ramonda by amazing singer composer songwriter and pianist TEYA DORA ❤❤❤ Thanks for very nice reaction
Lots of love from Serbia ! 🇷🇸
This is one of those tracks that is very solid with the music video/studio cut , but live it hits especially hard. Choked me up a little bit the first time I heard it. Definitely one of my favorites this year, and honestly, if you want a selection of music for your own personal listening, the Serbian National final this year had a ton of great songs and options beyond this one. This was my winner, but you couldn't go wrong honestly.
Agree completely. My favorite was Hristina’s ‘Bedem’.
Feels like a cinematic underscore. Not the climax but a melancholic ending.
She said she would not cover ESC this year anymore because of Israel. She lied. ❤
@@gabesalgado789 No, she said she wouldn't cover Israel's participation
@@Vescilla No, she said she would not cover anything, I saw that post.
Excuse me but I urge you to re-read my post thanks.
@@ThePeaceAround I read it. You made the false accusations against Israel. Eden Golan deserves a fare shake from you. Stop being part of the BDS crowd, it does not behoove you .
This is my favourite of the year :') I'm glad you liked it!
You should definitely check out the national final performance, it’s beautiful.
Also, here is the meaning if you’re interested.
1. Ramonda is a very rare purple flower that grows on Mount Rtanj in Serbia and is known as the “Phoenix flower”. It can survive in harsh environments and can “revive” itself after dehydrating with only a drop of water. It was used as a symbol of the Serbian people in WW1 during which Serbia lost 1/4 of its population.
2. There are several lines in the lyrics that reference the famous exodus of the Serbian people (along with the king and army) who travelled by foot over Montenegrin and Albanian mountains to Greece in the harsh winter of 1915. Around 240.000 people died on the journey and were buried at sea off the coast of a Greek Island in what is known as “The Blue Tomb” or “the watery grave”. The line “there, under the water, everything is dead silent” is a reference to that. Furthermore, another line states “there’s nobody left to guide me towards the morning star”. The Danica star/ the morning star is a staple symbol in Serbian mythology and it symbolizes returning home. In the song it shows the utter desperation and uncertainty whether our people would survive or return. Then you have “The world burns, every flower dies, where have the purple Ramondas vanished” = where have all the Serbs gone? The song ends with “A single purple Ramonda rises from the ashes” symbolizing hope and just like the Ramonda flower resurrects, so do the Serbian people.
The lyrics are written in a way where there are clear references to historical events, while also leaving room for a more personal and individual interpretation about inner hope, healing and finding light at the end of the tunnel when all seems hopeless.
Thanks! Really makes this so much better than that Breskvica song, which has many hidden antio-Albanian messages
Thank you for the back round meaning.
The song is beautiful . Apart of the Israeli song this one will be my winner
That’s beautiful! Thanks for letting me know ♥️ 🌷
beautiful song, well done Serbia❤❤
You should have reacted to her national final performance. Much more wholesome experience very close to what she’ll deliver in Malmö.
There is a beautiful hotel in Serbia under the Piramida mountain Rtanj,RAMONDA!
Once you see the live performance, you should check out the vocals only video someone uploaded because the backing vocals are truly delicious. Teya Dora graduated from Berkley and it shows.
Ramonda is the best 💜
this is my second place after slovenia, so beautiful, and "ramonda" is a flower grown in serbia (hence the flower in the mv) and the meaning behind the lyrics is incredible
@@davepowell1829 yes I agree it is a masterpiece but so is veronika :)
🇷🇸 I'm glad you understand our song about Ramonda because it's a resurrection flower in the true sense - it hibernates and is born again when it rains like Serbia 🇷🇸 !
I wish everyone new a positive spiritual resurrection and peace throughout Europe and the world like Ramoda !!!
Welcome in 🇷🇸 Serbia next year on Eurovision song contest !
I like your comments because they are always respectful and with a good musician taste. I would advise you to see the live performance in the national final, because in some moments the song seems a little bit repetitive (lila ramonda), but if you understand the meaning you will see that in some moment she is on her knees singing almost without instruments accompannying her and then she stands and sing it louder and stronger. That means I guess thet she is almost giving up beacuse the flowers (lila ramonde) are gone and that symbolize the hopes, so then she makes like a last call for the hopes to come back. This hope can be about the current time in the world, past times, struggling with personal issues, etc and plus that it represents the resilence of serbian nation rebuilding itself more than once after hard times.
Very unique reacting,great facts and professional aspects.Great job.
She was in the same class with Charlie Puth on Berklee ❤💥
The live version was far more impactful in my opinion, so hopefully you will (at some point) check that out. I really liked your analysis, it is so nice to learn something new about the song from a person who knows so much about the music. ❤
my personal winner❤
yeah i do agree that the song structure is pretty unconventional, but somehow they kinda.. work? the song flows nicely imo
Ramonda is the best song. 💜🪻🇷🇸
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🎉🎉🎉
Not my usual type of music but I really like this, it sits comfortably in my top 10. I have no doubts about it qualifying, think it will do very well with the juries in the final but will be interesting to see how the televote responds. Could be a dark horse to do better than some people expect
Televoting should be abolished at Eurosong, it is not authoritative to choose a quality song. The jury gives its votes in choosing a quality song and then the televoting ruins that song, which many people don't even know what a quality song is.
Meaningful review… thank you for your expertise ❤
💜🌸💜🌸💜🌸💜🌸
I dont like balad so much. But i adore this song. Im piano lover and listening slower song with not much instrumental mixing is just beutiful to listen. So relaxing too.
i highly recommend watching her sing it live (her performance at PZE is on their channel I think) it sounds so much better than the recorded version
I'm really curious to see your reaction to Greece's song! Cannot wait! 😁
This purple dream 🪻 is Eurovision winning material - not only because a ballad will absolutely stand out at Eurovision this year, but also because it represents the spirit of its country in a way that makes me shiver in front of this mesmerizing beauty!💜🪻🇷🇸 Even if we don't look at borders and nations, "Ramonda" is a haunting mélange of velvety melancholia, spectral grace and deepest emotions! And there couldn't be a more suitable voice to share this multi-layered message with the entire world: Teya Dora is not only a heartwarming human being and exceptionally gifted artist, but has the ability to seduce the masses with a voice out of this world. Vocals and songs don't always need to be loud and sharp to cast a spell over the universe, and in this case a dark lullaby is predestined to make this world a better place. Ramonda only needs one drop of water to rise from the dead - and if we look at the current state of our world, a sweet masterpiece like this has never been more necessary than now. Like the flower itself, "Ramonda" grows and grows and grows with every single listen, its putting me in a trance at night and day, and I'm already sure that Teya's magic will heal all the suffering in the world in May. This entry fulfills me on the deepest possible level and it speaks to my soul as if it was born within me!💜🪻✨️🌙

This is bold, no doubt. In another context, another year, this could go high places. And, with an impactful staging, who knows?!
Epic and epic in Serbia.Profound!!!!!Brava❤❤❤❤
This lady graduated from Berkley, writing her songs, and song needs to be with lyrics for you to truly understand how much soul she has put in this. Lilac Ramonda is a flower representing freedom, raising up from the struggles, and all her country has been through. Really great that she sang in her language, rather than going for English. It speaks about kosovo and also warriors who did in the wars in balkan area...this song isn't for everyone..its extremely deep
This song is dedicated to our famous ancestors to whom we owe everything today. Our people suffered for more than a century and that is why we are dedicated to this song. Other nations would say that we are overloaded with the idea that our song is the best and that only our song deserves to win. On the contrary, we feel the suffering of our ancestors because there is not a single generation of the Serbian people that has not felt similar or the same suffering. Teya Dora touched our souls because she wrote lyrics difficult for the average Serb to understand, she described that suffering so deeply in a few words. We are very grateful to her for the wonderful melody that she composed herself, as well as for the sincere emotion and wonderful vocals that won our hearts.
At the same time, this song is dedicated to those who survived
the worst possible suffering, faced with death
and left to their own devices in that struggle. That's why I would call this song a scream in the silence
of a wounded soul.❤
You should've reacted to national performance....it's much better ❤
Not that much difference, maybe the breaths are distracting.
@@joebloggs396 i meant because of the performance......

Can you react to Tey Dora's live performance? She performed much better there. This is just a video that she made a long time ago, even before Eurovision. The pose was refined live in stronger tones. Well, they perform live much better
❤🌷💜
Inon the ither hand th8nk that it is very catchy...the chorus especially with the ramonda repeating...great reacrion as always...
ENGLISH TRANSLATION & ANALYSIS (please read until the end) 💜
[Verse 1]
There's no rest, no rest for me
I am restless, I cannot sleep
The night won't give way to dawn
Doomed is the one who is alone.
[Verse 2]
It's as if underwater silence reigns
I'm screaming, but you can't hear my pain
Beyond the mountain gleam is white
Yet there's no end in sight
‘Tis the path for the wounded.
[Pre-chorus]
And there's no one to guide me now
To Danitsa the Morning Star
The world's a pyre burning each flower
Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas?
[Chorus]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Pre-chorus]
And there's no one who would guide me
For all the stars are sound asleep
Saying prayers is of no avail
Where have they evanesced, those lilac ramondas?
[Chorus, break]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Chorus]
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda
Lilac ramonda.
[Outro]
From the ashes rises up
A single lilac ramonda.
The song ‘Ramonda’ has a universal symbolism which can be applied to a variety of situations in life. Even though it is originally written as a deeply personal song that anyone can relate to, it can be perceived both as a patriotic song with a fragment of painful Serbian history and a song whose lyrics portray the great suffering of all the people around the world whose countries are devastated by wars and disasters. It is also infused with weltschmerz (= world pain), which is described as a sense of deep sadness at the evils or perils of the world caused by comparing the actual state of the world with an idealised longing for things to be different.
The reason I am bringing weltschmerz up is because not only are people from war-stricken countries suffering but also people from other countries witnessing it and not being able to do anything to stop it. They are also hopeless and probably anxious about the same thing possibly happening to them in the future because this world has become a dangerous place. No one feels safe.
MAIN POINTS OF ANALYSIS:
1) Zvezda Danica, pronounced as /danitsa/, is a feminine name personifying the morning star/Venus in Slavic mythology; it can be found in Serbian lyric poetry. I transliterated it to Danitsa so that non-native speakers wouldn't pronounce it as /danika/.
2) In this context, lilac is an adjective meaning pale purple colour, not a noun meaning a type of flower. It's ‘lila’ in Serbian. I used archaic and poetic words in my translation since the original lyrics of the song are quite poetic as well.
3) The island and the surrounding sea at the beginning of the official video could be a reference to the Greek island of Vido and the Ionian sea in which over 5,000 Serbian soldiers were buried during World War I. A Serbian poet Milutin Bojić dedicated his poem 'Plava grobnica' (The Blue Tomb) to these soldiers and this 'blue tomb' is actually the sea around Vido. In this poem, Bojić expressed the tragic fate of Serbia, whose army had passed through the snow-covered mountains of Montenegro and Albania to get to the Greek islands of Corfu and Vido, where they found refuge and shelter. The line 'ko pod vodom tiho je sve' (= everything is quiet like under the water) could be an allusion to the deathly silence of this ‘blue tomb’, the last resting place of the brave Serbian soldiers. The reason why they were thrown into the sea is because there was not enough space on Vido and Corfu. Their corpses were weighted with rocks to prevent them from floating.
4) The title of this song references a flower called ‘Ramonda serbica’ in Latin, a species endemic to Serbia. The mountain called Rtanj is the home to this flower which was discovered in 1874 by a famous Serbian botanist Josif Pančić. Being a living fossil from the Tertiary period, it is capable of surviving extremely harsh conditions. Even if it is completely withered, just a few drops of water can revive it. Natalie's ramonda (natalijina ramonda), the flower of the same genus, is very similar to ‘Ramonda serbica’. It was named after Queen of Serbia Natalija Obrenović, and it is worn as an emblem on Armistice Day in Serbia. This flower, also known as the ‘phoenix flower’, symbolises the unprecedented suffering of the Serbian Army (during the Great Retreat) that managed to rise victoriously like a phoenix from the ashes that World War I, in which Serbia lost one third of its population, had left behind.
5) This song can be interpreted in different ways due to the universal symbolism of ramonda as the beacon of hope for people going through tough times (wars, natural disasters, disease, psychological problems, heartbreaks, etc.). According to my interpretation of the lyrics, the repetition of the line in which the lyric subject wonders where all the ramondas have disappeared (rhetorical question) represents the feeling of powerlessness and despair. However, the outro of the song reminds us that hope springs eternal. Despite all the atrocities occurring in the world, it is in human nature to never lose hope. Disappearing lilac ramondas can also imply the people who are currently being wiped off the face of the earth and who are actually disappearing with no possibility of resurrection, unlike ramondas.
6) Also, there's something magical and unexplainable about the melody of this song. It embodies the spirit of the Serbian people from the 18th, the 19th and the 20th century, the spirit that Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac, the most important composer of Serbian romanticism, wove into his music. This particular atmosphere of the melody can be sensed strongly only by listening to a piano cover. It’s just fascinating.
7) Danitsa (= the bright morning star) is the ONLY thing left for the lyrical subject (= anyone who identifies with the lyrics, not necessarily the author) to guide him through sadness and hopelessness. In other words, the only thing left for people going through great suffering is to wait for Danitsa to appear in the morning sky because only then will they know they survived to see another dawn, another day. I perceive the song as a cry of people who are currently going through wars and great suffering. If we look at the text from that perspective, the first and the second verse describe their psychological state in the form of an internal monologue. They cannot sleep; they feel restless; they are traumatised; they are scared; every night seems like an eternity; they are lonely because it looks to them as if no one is coming to their rescue, and even if they scream, no one will hear them, as if they were underwater. Their cry is muffled. They know that normal life (= white glow) is still happening outside the borders of their countries, and that depresses them because it seems to them as if their suffering is never going to end while, on the other hand, somewhere in the distance, everything is teeming with life. Why do they have to go through all this horror?
8) In the second pre-chorus, a kind of descending gradation can be noticed. In the first pre-chorus, the lyrical subject's glimmer of hope is the morning star while in the second pre-chorus not even that because now all the stars have fallen asleep, which indicates that the lyrical subject is losing hope throughout the song, but since we know that the night is darkest just before the dawn (which can be felt in the musical atmosphere of the silent piano break before the last chorus), what happens in the outro of the song is peripeteia, i.e. the plot twist when a single lilac ramonda eventually rises from the ashes and the tone of the song changes from depressive to optimistic. Ramonda is the light at the end of the tunnel. By the way, the lyrical subject summons Ramonda in every chorus by repeating its name, as if in the form of a mantra, hoping that it will resurrect.
9) The official video features the archetype of light vs darkness or good vs evil hinted at at the very beginning by quoting a verse from the Gospel of John. I assume that the light sphere from the video actually represents the morning star / the planet Venus and is significantly smaller compared to the amount of darkness that surrounds it in the video. It is what leads Teya Dora through the darkness (= hopelessness) until the break of dawn, the sunrise and the resurrection of ramonda (= hope) that we see at the end. It is known that the morning star is visible until sunrise, which is why it disappears into the rock just before the sun appears. They also call her Zornjača (= dawn star). Interestingly, the morning star is the brightest planet in the sky, so it's clear why it is depicted as the guiding star. In the video, Danitsa and Ramonda are actually two interconnected motifs because they both represent light, hope, birth, new beginnings. Ramonda is born from the light of Danitsa.
Another excellent review, Rachel 🌞
Make me want to listen more to Ramonda
My favourite song of this edition, followed by La noia & Mon amour.
Zea love: Ramonda❤❤❤❤❤❤ Dzanum❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved your musical breakdown of this song's strengths. I do find this quite beautiful, but I think it's just a little too close to being a lullaby for me to get excited about it. It lacks the immediacy of other ballads like Belgium and Portugal. But that's just personal preference.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
i really wonder whether you will like greece or not..well, you definitely wont find it boring!(I love it btw)
Many find it annoying I expect. If it was in Italian she'd love it
@@joebloggs396I think you are quite unfair. She has some personal preferences but she is always fair.
Whoops this aged poorly 🤣
@@basj6579 It does split opinion though, many don't like it. I'd take Doomsday Blue over it as I think it hangs together more and isn't robotic sounding like much of that one is.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Portugal will be in your top 5 inshallah
Great. My vote is going to Serbia (Just because I can't vote for Israel.)
🙏❤️🇷🇸
The rock on which the singer is lying at the beginning of the video represents the island of Corfu in Greece,
where Serbian soldiers recovered in the First World War, after retreating across Albania.
We call the sea around the island of Krv the Blue Tomb, because many soldiers who died are buried there.
In Serbia, the Ramonda flower is a symbol of rebirth and rising from the ashes.Also Ramonda is called phoenix flower.
The people have gone through and are going through many misfortunes and sufferings, but they always hope that everything will be fine.
This song is dedicated to all those who sacrificed themselves for the benefit of new generations.
A number of people seem really taken by Serbia,
Vote for ramonda 💜🎉
I really wish there was a way for her to compete with Džanum, that song is simply amazing. :/ This one is still pretty great but it's not really screaming "winner."
for some reason she chosed to watch video instead of live in case of Serbia and Croatia and in both cases live was much better than video. But i guess this is her music opinion so she wanted to hear music more than see whole performance.
Can you listen to the song from Portugal (Grito) please,I am very curious about your honest opinion! 🇵🇹❤
The instrumental is really majestic, my only little criticism is that it gets slightly repetitive towards the end.
❤ Molitva is a great, classic hit. Marija Serifovic is a winner, always. On the contrary, Ramonda is a sad song for people who understand pain. Teya Dora is crying the whole song, begging ramonda to reborn and to bring life. Her music is out of the box, different, strange, she is also a composer, artist. Try to sing Ramonda, it is as difficult as Molitva. But, it is not for people who watch Eurovision only to have fun. Listen to Teya Dora' s song Dzanum, it is a great hit. But, something has to remind us of the people who suffer, and there are a lot of them in the world now.
Do greeceee 🙃
There was a bridge ..in the song
It is interesting but ultimately it doesn't touch me. - You would have gushed over Zorja's entry with its dazzling orchestra composition.
This is by far the only song after many many years that I favorise, so I am very happy…
The only song in years to give me chills at eurovision. It is sooo emotional
@@markojovanovic5901 I feel no emotion when listening to this. It is merely soporific. However, if it touches you, then fine.
Wow, you obviously didn’t get anything about this song.
@@RebelBran So, because my opinion differs from yours, then I "don't get it". - I have to applaud your ability to convince yourself that only your opinion is the valid one. Ego, toi ?
I like the song but I must wonder whether it was the right choice for ESC
She had my vote 100% and many many others too
It was completely the right choice, her live performance was fanatastic
7.5 is way to low tho. The song is one of the best this year
this is not a EURO version, this is spot for the song, EUROVISION version is mutch better and mutch more emotional and energetic.
This is a lovely song but unfortunately it doesn't quite build to that crescendo moment that I was hoping for. It kinda leaves me needing more.
Uzivo jeste uzivo je pojacala tonove a na spotu je ostalo isto
I was hoping for Konstrakta again.
Out of all the songs, for some reason…this is the one that I completely forget about…
From all songs this is the only one that made an impact on me…so I get your point👍
You are probably up for that Europapa trashy dance songs, hm?
@@v.p.7409 no…I like it, but not my favourite…Serbia’s is actually good…I enjoy it a lot more than half the songs, but it didn’t make much of an impact to me…good or bad…which isn’t good…
That's ok but to say it's the worst song it's not 🙌
@@v.p.7409 i didn’t say it was the worst…I said it’s the one I can’t remember … like when it I try to name all 37 songs, it will be the one that is left going …what song am I missing???
This is much too quiet and understated to grab me unfortunately.
It’s lovely but… it’s basically background music to my ears and I cannot find anything to hold on to. When the music stops it’s gone from my mind.
Yeah that is exactly what I feel for all the other songs in ESC when I listen to them, just not this one, because it’s more special….she wrote it produced she sings from her heart and you feel that she put her heart and soul into this…
@@janap8019 And that is why it is there - something for everyone.
@@Leifdk1excatly😊
Only 7,5... 😮
Yes, she was quite generous
Who cares ...
In my opinion it’s a nice song but nothing special to make it stand out like the ‘Molitva’ they had sent years ago.
I respect your taste but this song is one level up of "Molitva". I love Mariya Serifovic and she was on the jury for the Eurovision song contest in Serbia and she judged this song and Teya Dora's performance ready for Europe and the world. Just point is to understand this song. Every time when she says Ramonda, we hear freedom and peace after a bloody victory.
Sadly I struggle to connect to this song, not my favourite ballad...
Yeah and I haven’t connected to any other song besides this one, so I get your point….
I totally agree. I find it so repetitive and almost unlistenable
@@yanvat3258don’t agree…for me the favorites uphyped songs I skip as soon as I hear because they already booore me🤯 but this I can listen to on repeat…and actually all of the songs on ESC are repetitive, so bad point actually….
@@yanvat3258 To me Italy and Netherlands have that effect. Not to mention Austria 😩
Serbia as aways is been overrated. I could be wrong, but I think this is struggle to qualify. Portugal entry is far more strong than this.
Very forgetfully song tbh
Seems you are forgetful actually :)
Portugal goes in the same direction but 100000 times better. I'm not a fan of yhis entry, I find it quite boring to be honest, while I absolutely love the Portuguese one, it's my second favourite
Portugal is different, beautiful, but too complex for an average viewer, in matters of lyrics and structure. Too much text (and I understand and appreciate it, but will they?). No need to compare these two songs
I find Serbia much more pleasing both sonically and visually. Serbia will easily qualify to the final in my opinion while Portugal will struggle to make it
Such a dull, indifferent and uninspired entry! It’s a pity for Serbia this year. The only good thing about it is that we need a toilet break at the semi 😊
Yeah you sad soul less person 🤦♀️ I will also take a valium after hearing all the up beat bang bang music, that are coming on repeat year after year after year 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️will surely lower the volume on minimum…. It is good that we don’t have same likes in music 🙏
I like to see such miserable comments because they are proof that this song is a contender for their favorites. Your comment exposed both, your face and your soul. By the way, don't forget to wash your hands.
@@md5927 nice try but you know I’m right and you are in denial 😅
Those rocks represent rocks on island Corfu, where Greeks helped serbian army to recover.
Horrible comment. But I'll remain decent. Toilet break is Europapa and ramdidam raver girl
You said you would not cover ESC anymore because of Israel. YOU LIED..
Now go back and read what Rachel actually wrote.
Clown.
I’m not covering Israel’s participation but I’m still covering the rest of the contest - that’s exactly what it says in my statement.
That reflects really badly on you 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
