Vocal Coach Analysis: Switzerland x Nemo x The Code Eurovision 2024 

No ultra fancy effects? Are you talking about Slimane's performance or Nemo's?

The performance actually used secret people in black running on and off the stage to manipulate the disc that imma call background dancers.

@@Jsmithsurv Slimane did unforgivable things physically, to appear seductive ;-) I actually suspect he would have conquered the 3rd place if they had kept it more chill and minimalistic.

@@gavinneedham2013 No, the platform is remote-controlled, and there's a video showing how the person running it synchronizes it with the choreography and music. The people in black in one of the videos were just for training purposes

there were pre recorded backing vocals added which is so sketchy... and the whole performance made me think of a bratty kid with ADHD having a tantrum...

👍👍

best stage performance is such a stretch holy shit

I want to say she meant more that they don't give any details as to what they're singing about- as if you were to hear it without hearing any explanation of what the song is supposed to be about.

Just no... you can't not be male or female... just stop =/

@@Tylantia stay mad

​@@TylantiaU arnt in the persons shoes now are u?

@@Tylantia yikes

If you don't know that, the lyrics are quite cryptic. She is just judging the performance.

Wow ...shall we cry now 🤡

As a non-straight male, I can definitely confirm that the lyrics are impactful whether you relate to the song or not.

​@@YaelBewford U a whole circus 💀

@@joepss7946 STOP explaining to them mate 😂 The dudes are blatantly crazy

great comment about the lyrics, but Nemo's non binary, so they/them.

@@julian8985 Yeah I am sorry. I got really passionate for a second. Mistakes corrected :)

​@@theobenkayayou asked sorry what for 😂 Dude stop letting some weirdos making you feel guilty because you called... ONE MAN properly. For god s sake 🤡

​@@julian8985we don't care 👍🏼 still ONE person

​@@YaelBewfordOh, daring today, aren't we? How creative, never heard that one before. I don't want anyone to feel guilty, I think no one here including the creator misgendered with malicious intent. It was just a reminder. It's also quite ironic that you blame others for being offended for wrong pronouns, while you're here being offended by using the right pronouns for a person.

Joost Klein!

@@joepss7946 OK. Vielleicht ihn.

Actually hilarious.

no, the jury did it)

Same, they totally desrves the win. I knew a month ago when I listened to all the musics from this year that if they performed well live they would receive the highest score from the juries

I think she was talking about the rap in particular, which doesn't really touch on any of the topics you raised in your comment

Yes !!! They are one of the best lyrics I heard in Eurovision … but some people are just deaf 😮

it's not about their meaning, but about the fact that the words are basic, which btw is often normal for a non-native speaker soo... it wasn't a negative comment :)

@@mazesmth5058 well … Nemo is Swiss so that’s a pretty normal thing to not know English perfectly

@@NemoSwitzerland that's what I'm saying

​@@NemoSwitzerlandthat's what I'm saying

Nemo is ONLY one person. When HE won,HE got one trophy ONLY 🤡

@@YaelBewford Yes They are only one person - but they are not a he and they are not a she. You did say one correct thing though - you are a clown [albeit a bigoted one].

@@YaelBewfordyeah I can see that the clown emoji at the end is you self reflecting

@@YaelBewford yeah and I think that everyone use "they" when they don't know the gender of someone. Like "This person is a really great singer, their voice is incredible".

@@embsfx Mature answer to facts 👍🏼

How many letters we have already 😅

​@@RaffGoodman L for women who likes women. G for men who like men. B for people who likes both. T for transidentity. Q for people who are not hetero / cis but without a particular name. I for intersex people (born with an ambiguous pattern with chromosomes and/or genitals), A for people who doesn't have sexual and/or romantic attraction at all, or only in specific situation. + for all others specificity :) It's just for everyone to be represented, and for others to know that there is not only gay, bi, lesbian and trans. Invisibilizing will never help a person who identifies other than with the usual letters (LGBT), so I think it's important to remember that there is more ^^

​@shiminisillters1848 And that includes only gender and sexual orientation. Imagine, if we would include also sexual inclination like BDSM, all the fetishes and the forms of amorous relationships, like polyamory. I wonder, where the "normal" people are? I do not know many of them😂😂😂😂

@@RaffGoodman More then yesterday and less then tomorrow.

psycho its 2slgbtqia+ :)

I'm non-binary too but I found the lyrics pretty generic and too repetitive. The metaphors aren't very original either. The singing quality is great, but the lyrics do let the song down.

@@NejisMate I thought the "kingdom comes" part, being in a Dante-like state metaphor and "between "0" and "1"s" parts metaphores were so good. Using "ammonites" is a good way to describe their lyrics too tho. Poetic to me, there are better ways but still. Rap part's lyrics was generic but those are good I think.

She was only talking about the lyrics in the rap part being shallow, which i agree with, it was basically "I'm so excited" said in like 5 different ways. The rest of the lyrics were great though

Surprised to hear it, the voice didn´t sound very experienced, sounded like Nemo didn´t know how to work with the breath (and no, I don´t mean being out of breath because of the climbing). Not pleasant to listen to, either.

I agree !! And I take this as a compliment 😊

HE is a good singer ❤️

No matter how often you say it Nemo will not suddenly stop being non binary

Well, you compared)) it’s a simple thing, I'm humming in the kitchen. Something from a Bond theme

@@YaelBewford Seriously, why do you go around all these videos just to constantly misgender a person that will never read those comments? Is your life this empty? Rather pathetic to react to every comment on this video don't you think? Particularly as i'm quite interested in people answering OP's question, so your obnoxiousness is getting a bit in my way. Did someone hurt you, that you now feel the need to be this uselessly hateful?

...no....😊

The crowed "singing" was include the sing. Its Like Rammsteins "ich will" - the crowed was on the record. A Studio. Not the people in Malmö

I'm on the spectrum and i find the lyrics to be very thick on the nose. When somebody tries very hard to be artful, it comes off as manufactured. A true lyricist knows how invoke emotion through description. You have to 'show' emotion. Even as a writer . You don't 'tell' emotion. Being neurodivergent has nothing to do with it. Different people have different opinions. You have yours. It's not some special neurodivergent power to like simple lyrics that tell the story, point by point. I myself prefer the styles of Lady Gaga. Her lyrics are seeped in metaphor to evoke emotion without literally spelling it out for you. Nemo is easy accessible. It requires very little thought to know what he means. Because the lyrics speak for themselves. Nothing wrong with that. Kind regards: someone with autism

I thought that mechanism was the coolest thing! Surely it can't be easy to do opera when your altitude is being changed! I didn't notice that it was being spun by people in black suits darting across the stage in order to not be viewed by the main cameras, until I watched versions that other people recorded

@@PKLuver944 Yeah, It's electronically spun but it is indeed raised and dropped by two stage hands. Must have taken a lot of practice with them and nemo to get it right.

They*

I haven't been rude or anything, but she did react to their national final performance a while ago and it was pointed out to her several times in the comments then. Either she doesn't read the comments, or she's chosen not to take it into account...

No one is being rude. I didn't read a single rude comment. However if you were misgendered constantly you would find it more than just a simple slip up as well.

Thank you! I did not know they were using they them pronouns. Actually I think I only said "his" or "he" once. I spoke about the male larynx, which they have.... I appreciate your comment 🥰 a genuine mistake

Hi! I read as many of the comments as I can, however I get about 500 a day 🙈. I genuinely didn't see them about Neo using they them. I have since been educated. It was an honest mistake.

@ZoeStibiVocalCoach you actually said he many times in this video. It is just mattered with he/ him and that is why I can't repost this unless I want to offend my non-binary friends and even the non-binary people I work with at a charity I volunteer four. If it was just once or twice even my most sensitive non-binary friend would be accepting and understanding of it. I totally get that it was an honest mistake but it does make this particular video that otherwise has some very intelligent points made highly unshakable in certain communities. Not saying anything negative against you. We are all naive about something at practically every point in our lives so I totally get it. Just I know that some in the non-binary community because of friends I have and the work I do in a charity are still highly sensitive to being misgendered because maybe it wasn't too long ago that they left a very traumatic situation where they were physically, mentally, and vocally abused simply because of who they are, or maybe they are still in that situation, or maybe they've been out of that situation for a while but still haven't managed to shake the trauma or have managed to find any resources to help them shake the trauma. C for some of us, actually for a lot of us in the gay community, including non-binary people, the bullies that you see in certain places online insulting us and making fun of us or just a very tiny Drop in the Ocean of abuse that we've had to endure all our lives just simply because of The Way We Were born. Many of have spent the great majority of our childhoods and even sometimes into adulthood being physically and mentally and verbally abused by the people that are supposed to be our first and strongest allies and supporters - are families that we were born into. Many of us in the community even get thrown out on the streets when we are still children and disowned when we are still children just because of who we are. So that's why a lot of us might still hold on to a lot of trauma. I myself went through tons of childhood trauma just simply because of who I love. Simply because I'm not straight. However I've managed to be fortunate enough to have the resources to get the therapy I needed so stuff like people making innocent mistakes won't send me into a pdsd trigger anymore. But some still have not made it to that point yet and that's why getting the correct gender is so super important. An honest innocent mistake is an honest innocent mistake and that's all amazing and wonderful when you can get somebody that can learn from their mistakes and is willing to learn from the mistakes so kudos to you for that because even though it seems like a simple thing that you said I made a mistake, to people still struggling with their trauma it is a very big deal that you step forward and admitted it. From my non-binary friends and the non-binary people I help in the charity of volunteer at thank you for that!

That was what I was meaning. They are basic, I should have said obvious and nor empty. I felt it was repetitive in the lyrics, but that doesn't take away from the story.

D'accordo col discorso relativo alla musica, però la polemica non è su "chi fa sesso con chi", perché si parla di identitario di genere e non di sessualità, sono due cose diverse

Well Said!!!

Exactly. I'm non-binary but I found the lyrics pretty generic and too repetitive. The metaphors aren't very original either. The singing itself is great and the spinning table is cool, but the lyrics do let the song down.

I still disagree with you. The lyrics are very creative. I also totally disagree with the metaphor being "standard" because most people are too stupid and uneducated about the topic to even pick up on it (I am NOT referring to Zoe here, but the average ESC viewer who does not think about these things)

Well this has to be my favourite thing to scroll past. On a video from an extatic vocal coach on probably my favourite Eurovision song of all time (sorry Lordi, Nemo finally took it from you) someone actually used a quote from my favourite author in a comment. Well done.

@@atropatene3596 Glad to be of service :)

Skateboard.

@@DramaQueenMalena The movements are absolutely those used in snowboarding, which is an extremely popular winter sport in Switzerland. I’d be extremely surprised if Nemo _hasn’t_ been snowboarding since they were a little kid.

@tookitogo I'm Swiss too, from Biel. Nemo said in an interview, they had an electric snowboard and that helped them. But you are probably right with the snowboard.

@tookitogo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_oQP-JEE-A.htmlsi=UOK3GN3t0QSzWB21 Start at minute 3:50. Nemo talks about "Longboard fahren" and you see them for two seconds 😅

@@DramaQueenMalena Sure. But it is possible to know how to ride more than one type of board.

Just posted it 🥰🥰

Thanks so much for the Ukraine review. Their song affected me like it affected you. I hope you're OK. Jerry and Aliona's beautiful song & performance is the humanity the world needs in response to the horrors they are facing in Ukraine ❤

yes HE'S great!

Fantastic!

We don't care 👍🏼 Sorry go to Palestine now

Yeah… it makes me so mad … like even the official Eurovision uses they /them so why can’t people start?

@@NemoSwitzerland And ebu accepted Israel 🤡so why ALL of you are mad? Oh waaait

@@YaelBewford I didn’t say anything about Israel darling … but yeah ebu accepted them and we can do nothing about it

@@NemoSwitzerland Why we should do 🤔 aren't they also humans for you 🤡

...bla bla bla!....

Exactly! I meant they were simple, not empty. Bad choice of words. I was expecting more from the lyrics in general, but yes I have been slayed for it 😅

agreed

I meant the rap was a bit on the nose with the lyrics. Obviously the WORST way to say it 🙈 everyone has picked up on this ONE line I said.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach we all make mistakes. you certainly did not mean it the way we understood it.

Maybe if you had watched the whole video I talk about the lovely use of symbols in the performance. ;) the rap was a bit empty imo.

​@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach I think it's just meant to reflect the rollercoaster ride nature of their journey.

It's of course not empty for someone like Nemo personally. But I'd suggest you google or ask Chat GPT about the history of music lyrics. Most things humans can imagine and reflect on, have been expressed in music lyrics many times before. Countless individuals through the millennia have experienced personal processes that are comparable / very similar to Nemo's. Coming to terms with being non-binary is not a unique experience in this perspective. Hope this is helpful info, thanks.

I loved it too. I didn't think it was obvious, I just thought they liked to wear dresses. It is so hard these days with assumptions, and I would have expected more grace as it wasn't intentional to misgender. I think the outfit looks fab!. ❤️

....at the the end of the tunnel?!?!?.....oh, come on!....
