This is the first video i see of you, and i'm really glad to see that you sir, really know what you are talking about and have a great knowledge of music and realize all of the things in the song. Rellay Great reaction!
5:20 – We also have a strong reference to Mozart's The Magic Flute.
Wow!! What a performance!! So many different styles in this song!! Not only acrobatic singing but also physically demanding!! Great reaction and analysis!!
Sorry, but this was pure nonsense. Pure sensationalism for its own sake. Those high notes were screechy with no support. I wish actual music would make a comeback.
Love this reaction!
hi sir, i hope you could do a delailed analysis for Forestella's Ko Woorim (STARS – Les Misérables) would love to hear detailed analysis from experts on his performance.
Loved this. Great song, great performance, and great r/a! Thanks!
It's a wild ride! I saw it just after the winners were announced and it blew me away! Their "wha uh oh's" are very catchy. I love all the different elements in the music. You mentioned Sam Smith. In the beginning of the song, the tension felt and sounded like 'Unholy". I'm exhausted for them. LOL I'm so glad your friend mentioned this to you. A very enjoyable reaction! Thanks.
Very nice deconstruction analysis 😊 I loved this year's winner for their personality, message and voice, and I loved the mix of genres but I def appreciate this deeper understanding of the musical elements. Thank you very much ❤
Please react to Ireland's performance, Doomsday Blue by Bambie Thug❣️
Thanks for your analysis! As for “… somewhere between the 0s and 1s …”, I don’t hear the shift to major. For my ears it remains in minor, but Nemo might be playing with the pitch of the minor and major third here.
Fantástico análisis! Gracias ❤
Fantástico Nemo ❤
Finally someone agrees it’s a got a bit of Bond about it!
Thank you for this! I really enjoyed your way of analyzing music and listening to it. You definitely have a new subscriber! 👏
Them and bambi thug with doomssay blues were my 2 Favorites this year… amazing song and stage play ❤
Thanks for your professional point of view 👌
He was amazing….I loved it. Ty SH, I learn so much from your reactions.
Loved your analysis from picking out the Habanera quote to the chromaticism and on…and the end, even pulling the Spectre clip! Great work.
I love that song, I love your reaction and I broke the Code☺
React to the Netherlands eurovision europapa!
Baby Lasagna 🎉
He only came 5th on televote, he only won thanks to juries, juries ad usual screwed everything up, so he is nit the true winner, Israel and Croatia are
I really like how you look into every Detail of this Song❤. Do you want to listen to an also special live Performance? Listen to Jonathan Antoine singing "Unchained Melody "😊
The best reaction to this song by far!
Siento que voy a ser injusta, pero una imitación de Dimash, de melismas, acordes y dicotomías tan conocidas, aunque la letra sea propia y original. Me pareció que tanto lo llevó a menos. podría haber hecho algo más tierno y emotivo con los mismos pasajes pero me parece disonante entre lo que canta y lo que dice sentir. Es mi humilde opinión, no quiero ofender a nadie. Un fuerte abrazo de madre como siempre, gracias por otra master class. <3
Do you live in Jamaica? You have a funny accent.
I love how precise he sings and how he dares to challenge the audience following the contrasts he offers in one piece! He own the stage!
Wow Sir, I thank you and your friend for bringing this amazing performance to share with us! It’s always wonderful to see a true artist using their charisma and stunning talent to create a piece of art that foments relevant discussion and reasoning, like this beautifully complex and touching performance👌I loved Nemo’s flexible singing style, the song message, choice of outfit, passionate facial expressions, incredible level of energy and voice control (even when jumping, running, spinning, sliding, etc on that instable swaying thing😅) I also loved your discussion on the intricacies of the music composition and its potential references/meanings – you always amaze me with your musical fluency🎶Thanks again & much love from Brazil❣
Merci pour cette analyse très juste et pointue
Gran actuación de Nemo, es una gran canción…este año había buenas voces y grandes canciones en general…la de Ucrania (3 lugar, creo) genial, pero mi favorita fue Francia, (4 lugar) Slimane con su canción Mon Amour, me atrapó desde el minuto uno, es una canción preciosa en una voz muy particular…reacciona a ella por favor!

Saludos desde Barcelona 👋🏼
….no!!!….
Thanks for your professional explanations! I'm not a musician, but now I understand this brilliant song even better.
They were my favourite from the start. The song has all the elements to making a song huge and impactful. Very deserved win. Loved your analysis of it. Hugs from Sweden. I'm 52 btw, sometimes that adds to the comment in regards of experience, idk maby irrelevant ❤
Top 4 this year was so great that any one of them could have easily won. Overall top ten was better than it normally is in case of quality. This was a stellar year.
Would love to hear ur thoughts at Portugal's entry this year…
As for this one, great analysis, not simply based on vibes, so kudos for that!
As someone who is classically trained the control over their falsetto is insane and jaw dropping.
also, as a queer man, I'm very happy for pioneers like nemo proving you don't need Good fashion to dress in gender f@@@ style XD
Well I hadn’t thought I’d find a classical musician reacting and commenting on Eurovision songs. This is AWESOME! I watch a channel called React to the K which is classical and jazz musicians reacting and commenting on Kpop. One of the reasons I enjoy watching and listening to classical musicians reactions and commentaries on music is that many times you all pick up things I missed or didn’t remember the language/terminology to describe (it’s been almost three decades since I was in band and I will say that every teacher I’ve ever had was right: “use it or lose it” is apt at how once it’s no longer a daily habit of using knowledge then it starts to get forgotten, not just with music and arts, but other things too: my French and Spanish comprehension continues to slip and I mishear things when conversing in those languages or when reading I can’t remember a word or words I come across without much more effort than I used to when I read/spoke more often in those languages).
Great reaction and commentary! I like how you listen to half first and then stop and go back to discuss in more depth each section before moving forward and doing the same thing. It’s easy to follow your commentary that way. Thanks for making and sharing this video! I have subscribed to your channel to checkout your other videos and kinda hoping you’ll consider doing some other Eurovision songs this way, too (but only if there’s interest from your subscribers who’ve been watching longer of course).
Please react to Eden Golan Hurricane from Eurovision.. I think it is one of the best songs not only at this competition..
Please watch last year's preselections in Poland – Jann- Gladiator. Jann won by the public votes, but was robbed by the jury
IF YOU LIKE VOCALS, YOU MUST REACT TO FRANCE AND IRELAND
Loved your analysis. Totally agree with your observations.
I love, love, love the message that's being transmitted and I think his voice is awesome. Very sadly though, I didn't enjoy listening the listening experience ….. I'm so sorry 😞. For me, it felt manic, hysterical and almost out of control – almost. I'm guessing that this may have been the composer's intention.
That said, I'd love to hear his other songs.
I would love for you to analyze Kings Return an amazing acapella group. Especially their version of Ave Maria
Your analysis is really the best as usual. I would however point out that breathing is part of the acting because we find it in their clip, which is also remarkable.
Very thoughtful analysis 👍👍👍
Enjoyed. Please keep react to Sohyang. Cheers!
Great analysis. I watch a lot of reaction videos to experience as many perspectives as possible, and I really appreciate your breakdown with audio examples included to demonstrate your points to the viewers. Some reactions are just people watching, but there is real worth to your contributions. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Subscribed. ❤
You did a awesome job naming the references. There are voluntary references to carmen, mozart, james bond, check this out even if in french but with english caption, it tells you all about the song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK5xlvyNX1U. PS indeed astounding because of the breath control to jump and dance plus sing…
It's such an athletic performance. I love that he incorporated the heavy breaths into the song, to work with that.
