Azerbaijan is so underrated this year. Can't believe that most people think they won't qualify. This song is so good and has grown on me with every listen, my 3rd place at the moment.

@@ThePeaceAround The current odds are predicting that it won't qualify (or rather, it's right on the borderline), but that doesn't mean much, especially since nobody has seen it performed live. It's not especially popular in the fandom, though, which isn't to say disliked.

I swear he will end in the top 10. When you can climb the full scale like that with the amazing instrumentals in the back. That's a potential "Eurovision Moment" right there. Brividi is still my jam but this is definitely in my top 5, top 3 even. It reminds me of Gjon's Tears entry last year who represented Switzerland with "Tout L'univers" in the sense of the drums, the build up and that vocal climb.

@@annasimon6452 Hi Anna, sorry if I offended you with the use of the term ‘Balaban’ - I appreciate that the Duduk is a protected Armenian instrument. The Balaban has a different note range however, and it’s evident in this song that the Balaban is being used as it’s reaching to notes lower than the duduk. I hope you can understand technically where I’m coming from?

Woohoo so excited for the big instrumental cover. Anyway, on the song, it is in my top 5 currently and as much as the fandom hates on it, you can't deny that the composition is clever and the man has an explosive voice. The mix of Balaban and, as you pointed out, the 1 2 3 rhytmic progressions in the chorus, does make this stands out enough to not be considered as another generic ballad. Love your insights so much cause I also felt like the chorus was interesting but cannot really pinpoint how and why. And then the build-up, whooo that drum kicks starting in makes you feel like it's a soundtrack to an epic movie or sth :)))

Eyy, you've done it!! Deffo staying tuned for what's next ^^ Azerbaijan - This is another one I find the fandom seem to be disliking just for the heck of it... I guess 'cause they kept us waiting and it's "ANOTHER BALLAD" (in a mimicky voice). I do enjoy it more the more I listen to it, I find the composition quite soundtrack-like. And the balaban fits in perfectly with it, doesn't seem shoehorned in as an "obligatory fan-pleasing ethnic element" (pretty sure that's a balaban, since we're talking Azerbaijan here). My main gripe - Azerbaijan seem to think like Malta and to an extent Cyprus in terms of trying to figure out a formula of what MAY win in ESC, and they tend to go for a big multinational team to compose their songs, rather than trying to find local singer-songwriters or bands that do their own material (or at least have a larger say in it than a slight vocal/instrumental arrangement). It can produce good/competent songs (case in point "Fade to Black"), but it can also backfire, and does make them look like they have no faith in their own musicians. Or I'm just looking too far into it, idk...

Good video Rachel. I completely agree with you, this is a great song and probably would just make my top 5. It’s unpredictable and toward the end it feels as though it’s going to go in a different direction to the one that it actually goes. I love the song though. I do sometimes Lauravision who you recommended. I like her channel but, I find her to be biased sometimes. When she made her top 10 qualifier predictions for the semi finals, she said she was dissociating what she wanted to qualify from what she thought would qualify, yet she didn’t fulfil this. Everything she predicted would qualify was only what she liked. And unfortunately I feel some discontent now because she has criticised Serbia, and it’s my favourite entry and I will defend it with all that I’ve got. This is why I can no longer recommend her channel

I'm a visual artist myself, not a musician, but I love listening to music and enjoy having an informed opinion, so your videos are always fascinating! Though I enjoy this song and hope it qualifies, to me at least something about it sounds... unresolved, as if it's missing a bit or an element! I can't even explain what it is. This artist does have a fabulous voice and I think I might just go and check out some of his other music (isn't that what Eurovision is also about?). Love from Rome 🇮🇹

Really enjoyed watching some of your takes on this years entries. Glad you found some musical merit with this as it’s not for me. I’d be very surprised if this qualifies, I thought it was incredibly bland and never really goes anywhere. I think it could be redeemed live in the semi’s with the instrumentation louder in the mix and improved enunciation but still I find it the most forgettable song this year. Portugal, Ukraine or Lithuania for the win🇵🇹🇺🇦🇱🇹
