Good job

What a beautiful comment.

I don't think they were talking about the californian accent, they were referring to diphthong which they mentioned in the reaction video to Germany's entry that it is popular with musicians from California.

I agree, that was pretty inappropriate.

I've noticed this a lot from group reactors both for music and also for TV / movie reactions. The problem is that emotional moments can be burst so easily with an ill-timed quip, distracting comment, or just self-consciousness about getting emotional in a group. Groups work great for up-beat moments, like high-tempo songs or dramatic and surprising moments in movies where enthusiasm can be infectious; but for things where you're clearly meant to be alone with the artist and your emotions the groups can really shatter the magic.

Agreed

ikr i had chills

I think you leasing different when its a group.

Oh, is he? Bring the gossip. 😁

No, this wasn't the winner's reprise. She's smiling because she's gently addressing her lover who's right beside her when the song opens. You can deduce that by the close camera shot and, you know, the lyrics.

For me too! Absolutely.

cool

not just with this song, every esc song i feel like

That is a good point.. I'd not say swedes are "lacking" expressionality, but psycchology research suggest differences in emotion perception and expression between countries. Only thing is, most people who really listen to the song (not looking at it through technical glasses) seem to get the "feels" no matter nationality... :)

@@daek2903 Yeah, you don't need to be bawling your eyes out just because you're singing about an emotional topicl

What do you mean?

I think Americans think that you really must cry your eyes out and do dramatic gestures to convey feelings. But Swedes are not like that. We don't do over the top stuff like that

think the reactions to the Dutch song are bigger

im in love with that suprise hihi

Well this doesn't promise good outcome in esc. I mean if mello final is too much how will she cope with esc final.

@@avatara82 more people in the mello audience than esc final, ofc a lot more are watching in esc but from a ´´ distance´´

Damn thats a small audience

@@ws9853 damn what

It’s the other way around babe, you did not understand a word of what they said 🤷🏻‍♂️ and above all - you failed to understand the meaning of expressing one’s thoughts that don’t necessarily need to overlap with yours. Besides - it’s a video about their opinions, you feel the need to express yours: make your own vid😱

@@leonidasse OK. That is your opinion. I respekt that. Love from Lena

@@lenaengell8528 how truly magnanimous of you

@@leonidasse I choose to believe that your answer is not contemptible. So, thank you for your foresight. Is it not strange how many true patriotic feelings emerge when our respective countries compete against each other? THEN it is allowed. But not if you discuss politics. In politics, it is only allowed to be Politically Correct, i.e., on the scale of the western world… If you here express patriotism, you are censored, called names and made fun of…. Isn’t it strange? Something to think about in our mad world of politicians?

@@lenaengell8528 lol, go drink some water gal

Me too!

Minnesota. There's still a TIINYYYY bit of snow on the ground 😁

Did you get to hear Sheldon Riley's cover of the song. I think I prefer it

@@MyrtleP I heard it now, I also prefer it

It's ok! / Greetings from Sweden 😉

Then Give The Wolf a Banana, my friend! ;-)

@@stickynorth I'd better, or he may eat my grandma! :)

Interesting. Psychology research into Americans and more collectivistic cultures suggest there's quite a gap in emotional expressions. Where e.g. americans are the most expressful, and asians particularly japaneese people have least expressive people (in social settings). Swedes are def. more collectivistic then americans, although it's changing. This has an effect on the perception of emotions as well... where e.g. an american would have a harder time to spot some expressions in less expressive faces. This goes the other way around as well.. :) Perhaps this is a glimpse of this.. Although here is great difference between people within the same culture. Even more so in individualistic countries. Lastly watching american tv shows, and even many american reality/docu series makes me cringe & want to hide behind a pillow sometimes due to the extreme dramatization, amd overly clear emotions. I guess being exposed to so much drama and exceptional expressionaily also has an effect on one's preception emotional expressions. Btw, not trying to say anything is more right or wrong than the other.. :) Just contemplating on cultural differences.. :) Over and out Quite Emotional Swede ;D

Your wrong

I guess if you are tonedeaf then yes it is a copy

And Lady Gaga copied Janis Joplin's style to give Shallow that flavor. Your point is? LOL...

There is absolutely no notes similar to Lady Gaga's Shallow. So it's something your mind is making up. And you have an Anti-Swedish bias.. So anything Sweden sends you're going to try to find any negative thing you can so as not to give the song a chance.

You’re delusional lol

You seem angry

@@bjonndrogg6612 You appear to be under the impression that critique somehow relates to disturbance. (Or, perhaps that is what you want to assume, as a way to negate an opinion you do not share?) Meanwhile these kind of histrionic vocals and soap opera lyrics are popular. This will be in the top ten, I'm sure. The fact that I find it tacky, poorly sung, and superficial wont change that, but I am invited by the channel to give my opinion, so I do. Have you got a problem with that?

@@alipanroosendaal9503 Yea, noone is buying that alipan

@@bjonndrogg6612 You are not buying it. Why do you not own that yourself, instead of invoking supposed others to back you up? You can think that if you wish, if it makes you happy, but why should I be angry? I have no problem with Sweden, women, ballads, or the ESC, I like them all. I do not like this song, in the same way I don't like Australia's, or Spain's songs. They leave me utterly cold. However, there are plenty this year that are far worse than these three. Luckily there are also some great songs, and I am listening to those regularly.
