How Rosa Linn Won Eurovision 

I hear you everyday on the radio back at work In Portugal!

Ես ձեզ հավատում եմ❤💙💛🙏

Rosaaaaaaaaa!!!

Rosa Linn I love your songs it's very awesome and unique to listen thank you

SNAP!

I was surprised it didn’t place a little better - it was a lovely song and she gave an excellent performance. Glad she ended up with success in the end.

I don't think there's any sense in blaming this on politics. It was a genuine, fair win for Ukraine. You can't be mad at people for feeling deeply about people suffering under an attack. That's not politics, that's compassion and solidarity. Eurovision was created to bring together Europe after the second world war. And I don't think Ukraine would have won with a song like this years. Stefania was perfect for that moment in time. I don't think she deserves any hate of course, but there are just too many factors in Eurovision that you have to take into account. She was popular among younger people during last year's contest, and the viewers are that much older. It wasn't for them and didn't hit hard enough on stage (although it was a great and unique stage performance of course). There were multiple entries that became a phenomenon before the show and took a lot of time and space in media coverage. Norway, UK, Serbia, Italy... Basically she competed aginst giants. In no way does it mean it's a bad song, it's a good song by a promising artist. But it just didn't stand out enough. Getting to the final is a good job, and in the grand final there are only so many point from each country to give. She was fifth of the firts semi final, which is also a great result, higher than the fan favorite Norway! It's tough to qualify to the final, so 61 points in the final is a fine result. I mean look at France! That's just the name of the game. She's allowed to be disappointed and so are her fans, but realistically this wasn't her year, and the result was as fair as we get.

Duncan Laurence is at least still sucessful in The Netherlands

“One hit wonder” probably sums it all up.

You're basically saying that anyone who isnt as popular as Maneskin and doesnt sell out arenas isnt succesfull and doesnt have real fans. Duncan has released several songs after Arcade with millions of streams, he has a big fanbase and he still performs all over Europe. Its kinda sad that you disregard that just because he's not as big as Maneskin.

@@irisvdziel I’m sorry but you are dreaming. Duncan cancelled half his recent tour due to low ticket sales. Songs go viral on TikTok - not the artists - and you can’t expect people to invest in an unknown artist after 1 song. The evidence grows every month that shows the TikTok generation does little to help an artist’s career long-term. Their joint single “WDIA” should, on paper, have been a big hit but it was a flop. Their labels should be getting them in front of real people at every chance but they are not. I mentioned Maneskin because the video did but it’s true that they do have a fanbase that support them and share their music. Who did TikTok name as one of their breakthrough artists? Sam Ryder.

@@jess6064 the cancelled shows were due to personal obligations, but that wasnt my point. My point is why do you feel the need to talk down on artists while praising others? It’s not a competition. Yes some artists get bigger than others after eurovision but that doesnt mean that the others dont have true fanbases, support or success. That sounds really ignorant. Rosa Linn is an example of a one hit TikTok wonder (up until now at least) and her collab with Duncan didnt get big. Duncan has had several other succesful songs after Arcade tho. But again there’s no need to compare. They’re both succesfull in their own way.

vamo latinoamericaaa

eres tú is one of the few Eurovision songs I've heard outside of esc and together with baila el chiki chiki are the only ones I've heard people in my environment listen to (eres tú by my parents, baila el chiki chiki by one of my teachers) the other songs of Eurovision I heard outside of Eurovision are Rockefeller street, waterloo, volare, run away and hey mamma (only the saxophone parts) like I already mentioned eres tú plus baila el chiki chiki, arcade and snap there's also artists and bands I knew outside of Eurovision like abba, Celine Dion, tatu, julio iglesias, Olivia newton-john, las ketchup, cascada, bonnie Tyler, darude and surprisingly enough tulia

I really want to write a script about Cha Cha Cha right now but I know if I do I will curse the song and it'll lose the NF. But if it qualifies I can almost promise we'll dig into that one.

@@overthinkingit Fingers crossed! This channel is AWESOME by the way

@@overthinkingit the time has come

I have no great explanation for why Riptide was charting in 2022, it's pretty fascinating.

Riptide is one of my music videos which I have to watch for Media. I hadn't heard it beforehand I don't think although I'm from the UK so idk why it did well in America in 2022.

It was all over American radio back in 2013 as well, it must have been a recent TikTok wave!

Subsidized exposure?!? One more reason for me to continue with my demands to Keep Eurovision Weird!

Greece mentions August as well

Clever move on paper, but everyone online seems to feel the TikTok songs are SO much weaker than the other songs competing. But Ikke Hüftgold is great and I don't care what anybody else says.

@@overthinkingit I think they're probably testing the water with the idea this year (just 1 act not all of them) ...and trying not to exclude the older demographics who don't have tiktok. 🤭

@elizabeth184 I get trying to split the difference. On the other hand: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7BE4QcwX4dU.html

That's pretty much our mission statement!

Also, I agree that TikTok is a game changer, but I'd be shocked (shocked!) if there haven't already been a significant number of Eurovision entrants who've been using the contest as free (ish) publicity for the longer game. (Also also, I second just about every word regarding Night Court! Get your own nostalgia, Gen Z)

I laughed when her record label said her duet was with an “international star”. 😅

We missed you too, Amy!

Yay, Myrtle's here 😊

@@trildi 👋lol Oh yes. I can't get enough of these guys.

@@MyrtleP Glad to hear it, I love them too, great sense of humour :)

Last songs are searched because people want to laugh at bad songs. Thing is Rockstars was decent song.

We covered it back in 2011, my dude: www.overthinkingit.com/2011/05/11/eurovision-2011-semi-finals-2/2/

@@overthinkingit I am sure this needs update.

Thanks so much!

I just kept waiting for it to be mentioned! I used to have a friend who pretty much only listened to Nightcore versions of songs (ugh), and he used to blast Rockefeller Street all the time. I was floored when I got into ESC a couple years back and found out where it actually came from.

We'll have more to say about him in a future video! Sam Ryder is about the only good thing that happened to the UK in the past year.

People like to criticise Sam when he’s done nothing to warrant it. I’d rather this person didn’t make a video about him.

@@overthinkingit Haha, you can bloody say that again 🤣

@@hmniam5827 How is it possible to criticize Sam, he's a big sweetie with the voice of an angel and the hair of Thor!

Oh really?))

It was literally in the bottom 5

Finally someone mentioned One Piece in the comments! Garchu, @siviary13.

If it qualifies I have a whole riff on Percy Shelley ready to go.

We missed that, absolutely would have mentioned it. Hard to believe the song finished 8th!

@@overthinkingit Wow, it actually still does! I didn't expect that. Also, thank you for making up for my laziness of googling. You took this more seriously than I did, but I appreciate that.

For what it's worth, Ukraine is nowhere near the top of the betting odds right now.

Where do you see, envy? The man is just telling his opinion. I am Armenian and I don't like this song.

I dont think so
