Week 91: Eurovision Week 4! 2021 #4 - Daði og Gagnamagnið - 10 Years 

Hey everyone! Number 5 got blocked due to copyright, but we've disputed it! Hoping it will get overturned and come out within the next couple days! Thanks for watching 😊

This is actually a rehearsal performance. If i recall correctly one of the members contacted Covid, so they couldn't perform it in the finals. They comfortably got 4th place by sitting on the couch 😄.

Fun fact: This song is about the relationship between Daði (singer), and his wife Árný, one of the keytar players. She was pregnant with their second child during Eurovision

“The first Icelandic group we’ve seen…”, god now I want you to do Hatari so much. Hatari were the first (and only) Eurovision act I’ve ever bought tickets to see (sadly covid scuppered that though)

Their 2020 entry (Think About Things) was sooo good. It’s a shame it got cancelled because I’m pretty sure they would have won.

The Nordic countries (Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark) celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve (December 24th), so technically they do get their Christmas presents earlier than the US 😂

I need you guys to react to Hatari that represented Iceland in 2019. Because their outfits and performance are the opposite of cozy sweaters. 😅

can’t wait for the reaction to iceland 2019… they have a severe lack of sweaters on 😅

Fun Fact: They weren’t allowed to perform in the finale, bc one of them had COVID. This was a recorded version from the dress rehearsal.

2021 was an amazing Eurovision year!

I met Daði (pronounced Dah-thee) in Stockholm at a Eurovision pre-party in 2020. The 2020 contest was eventually canceled due to Covid, but - Daði was the nicest, most down to earth and approachable of all the artists that were there! Not only did he take pictures with us, but he even stuck around and hung out for a little bit. And this was all before he had to go on stage and perform! Honestly, a gem of a human! 🤩🇮🇸

oh yeah 2021 was a great Eurovision my favorites were Ukraine with Go-A and their song Shum with traditional folk pop style(Go-A are now legends of the Eurovision) and Finland with Blind Chanel with their song Dark Side I hope you will react to them

Dađi and gagnamagniđ (spelled out dah-dee and kakna-magnith)They are all related! The woman who was playing the “round keyguitar” was the main singer’s wife. Also! This group debuted for Eurovision in 2020 when they won their icelandic national song contest which chose them as representatives for Eurovision 2020 AND that song was about their baby! (Called “Think about things” and its such a recommendation for a bop) (but obviously covid happened and so they never got to perform the song live but were invited to perform the next year with a new song) anyways this song was about his marriage with his wife and how it just keeps getting better no matter how long it has been (hence the title 10 years)

Rushed over here when I saw it was another Eurovision week! ❤

Eurovision isn't technically just a contest for European countries, it's open to any member of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union). It's a common misconception, but mistaken nonetheless. Australia got invited to join fair and square, because they paid their dues, had been massive fans of ESC for decades, asked nicely, and were okay with a few special rules in case they won. I have no issue welcoming more fans to the party. They've been a joy to have in the contest so far - I just hope we get some more cultural tunes from them, honestly. Would love to see some aboriginal flare on the ESC stage, since the whole purpose is to tie us together across cultures through a shared love of a good tune.

Someone needs to give you a good top 5 of the interval acts, when all the performers are done acts from previous years come on stage for an interval show and Daði Freyr (the lead singer of this group) came on this year and did a cover of Atomic Kitten - Whole again 10/10 cover the whole crowd went nuts

They would have soooo won in 2020 if there had been the contest... their 2020 song was THE BOP.

Where is #5 Go_A with Shum, don't tell it's blocked? It's a CRAZY BANGER track! Will love to see your reaction 😉👍

In the Nordic countries we get our xmas presents on Dec 24th. And Santa doesn’t go through the chimney, he knocks on the door.

Where's the video of the 5th place? or did i miss it?

Please dont tell me the shum reaction was blocked

The fact that this actually just their dress rehearsal too as one of them had covid so they couldn’t actually perform live at the contest! Dadi finally got to sing at Eurovision this year, would wholly recommend checking the Liverpool songbook from 2023

I saw Daði on tour in the UK last weekend! He was EXCELLENT He’s going to the US too you know…

As an Australian, yes Santa delivers our presents, but apparently reindeer don't like the Australian summer heat, so he switches them out for six white kangaroos before doing the down under deliveries. They're called the Six White Boomers. I wish this was one of those dumb things we Aussies say to mess with foreigners, but it really is a thing. There's a Christmas song about them and everything.

"Panek" is definitely a Polish family name. I've checked its distribution across Poland and it's most common in the south, so perhaps that's why it's also associated with Czechia. However, in Czechia, it doesn't seem to be nearly as common, and most of the people with this surname live near the Czech-Polish border, so it all makes sense. As for Polish stuff... We usually don't do that well in Eurovision. The best result (runner-up) was in 1994 when we debuted at the ESC. After that Poland reached the TOP10 only twice and failed to qualify to the final multiple times. However, in the past few years, we did quite well in Junior Eurovision, winning the contest back-to-back in 2018 and 2019, and being the runner-up in 2021. If I had to suggest any Polish performances from Eurovision, I would probably go with the most successful ones, so: 1. 1994 - Edyta Górniak / To nie ja (2nd place) 2. 2003 - Ich Troje / Keine Grenzen - Żadnych granic (7th place) 3. 2016 - Michał Szpak / Color of Your Life (8th place, 3rd in the televoting) 4. 1997 - Anna Maria Jopek / Ale jestem (11th place) 5. 2022 - Ochman / River (12th place) Two honorable mentions: 2014 - Donatan & Cleo / My Słowianie - We Are Slavic, which is (in)famous for butter-churning on the stage :P 2023 - Blanka / Solo, as the singer and her "Bejba" quickly became a meme :P

11:17 It’s cute that Australia got invited in. They were obsessing so much over Eurovision for years so the EBU decided to let them participate. I like it :)

You guys should do an Electric Callboy week! I promise, you won't regret it... (and there is a Eurovision connection, too)

Hi fellas. Loving your lists. I'd like to suggest Eurovision 2019. I've just chosen 5 songs that were in the final that you may like: 5. San Marino Serhat Say Na Na Na (19th) 4. Iceland Hatari Hatrið mun sigra (10th) 3. Australia Kate Miller-Heidke Zero Gravity (9th) 2. Italy Mahmood Soldi (2nd) 1. Netherlands Duncan Laurence Arcade (winner)

Yessss, Eurovision 2021 was the best year, i know this list will be fire 🔥 😅

Yay another eurovision week 🎉

If you are going to cointinue down the eurovision road here are some of my personal favourites: 1- fairytale by alexander rybak 2- fuego by eleni foureira 3- arcade by duncan laurence 4- la forza by elina nechayeva 5- soldli by mahmood

Eurovision 2020 Week!!! The 2020 Show was cancelled. There’s were the top 5 fan favorites. 5. Norway - Ulrikke -Attention 4. Bulgaria - Victoria - Tears Getting Sober 3. Iceland - Daõi & Gagnamagniõ - Think About Things 2. Switzerland - Gjon’s Tears - Répoundez-moi 1. Lithuania - The Roop - On Fire

Eurovision week is back.... I still think Iceland could have won in 2020. Wish that their victory will come soon.

YESSS! Finally another eurovision week! Tusen takk🇧🇻

He came back and did interval entertainment in the Liverpool eurovision where he covered a song by famous Liverpool band Atomic Kitten - funny, but good

Ooh! Thanks for the Edinburgh shoutout, gratefully received. I'm waving back as I look out the window on my 350 year-old street up at the 200 year-old National Monument, and beyond that the rump of our 350 million year-old volcano in the middle of the city. I would say 'come to Edinburgh (Ed-in-buru) to see all the lovely old buildings' except that the newest building they just built is a huge brown metal hotel with a curly ribbon top which looks like some giant cow has come along and taken a large dump on the city skyline, and which if you are anywhere near it looks like the giant Stay-Puff pastry man from Ghostbusters looming round the corner above you... I'm not selling the place well, we do have lots of lovely old buildings.

Another interesting thing about this entry is that the ‘choir’ part right before the last chorus was made from hundreds (maybe thousands? I can’t remember how many he got in the end) of separately recorded parts submitted by Daði’s fans from all around the world!

I've now seen Daði Freyr in concert twice, and it's a fantastic experience, and I will continue to go every time I can!

Was lucky enough to see daði this week and he was absolutely fantastic live. I really loved everything about his entire show. Such a funny and cool guy and his voice is amazing live when he’s absolutely going for it.

Big props for correcting the pronunciation of Edinburgh. Keep up the good work, lads.

Siz ikiniz çok tatlı 2 insansınız tepkilerinize bayıldım Türkiye’den kucak dolusu sevgilerimi gönderiyorum size 🖐️🖐️😍

Finally an Esc week again!!!🤩🤩

When we watched this on the actual night we were all shrieking because we loved them so much! I still listen to this in the car most weeks lol. It is insanely catchy.

Oh cool! Another Eurovision week!

Yes yes yes Eurovision

European music is so different from music from the US and that's great. Love it.

Panek sounds more Polish than Czech to me. The ending "-ek" is nicknaming the first part, so you are kind of cute little gentlemen :D I'm neither Pole nor Czech, so can be wrong.

2021 is THE Eurovision year

I’ll be seeing him live on Thursday. It’ll be my 14 year olds first gig 😀

Eurovision Week #5 - Bizarre Masterpiece Performances 1. Hard Rock Hallelujah - Lordi [Finland] - 2006 - Winner 2. Toy - Netta [Israel] - 2018 - Winner 3. Party for Everybody - Buranovskiye Babushka [Russia] - 2012 - 2nd Place 4. In Corpore Sano - Konstrakta [Serbia] - 2022 - 5th Place 5. UNO - Little Big [Russia] - 2020 - Contest Cancelled due to Covid, but Most Watched Eurovision Entry of All Time 1-4 - Watch their grand final performances 5 - Watch their Eurovision Official Music Video

Panek is indeed a surname in Poland, though not very popular, around 8600 people registered (for a comparison the most popular surname is Nowak and there are around 150000 people with that name). "Panek" as a word is a diminutive form of the word "Pan". "Pan" nowadays is mostly just a male honorific like Mr. in English, but it used to mean more like a lord, landowner. So in that case "Panek" is a "little lord", not in the sense of his stature, but in the sense of someone who does have something to his name, but isn't from the higher nobility with thousands upon thousands of acres of land. There was even a word "półpanek", half-panek, but it was used just in a derogatory way, some peasant could say, not only I have to deal with my Pan, but also that Panek, and now also that dumb półpanek that barely has a house and a cow but acts as if he's a king. :D

There is in fact a „Transformer“ in the musicvideo of the song 😅 Check that out

They did a pixel avatar maker in their web, but I think it isn't there anymore

Actually the keytar as it is today seems to have been created by various American inventors!

ð is as the th-sound in "the". So: Daði (dah-thee) Gagnamagnið (gung-nah-mag-nith)

You guys have been bringing the Eurovision video for about three weeks straight. When will Shakira's live week 2 be brought to us?

Actually, Florida was in eurovision for San Marino. SWITZERLAND was my favourite.

About the same time when the film about Eurovision came out, where Iceland win is debated, how could they ever arrange the coming eurovision if they won? Right, there come this group and could have just won for Iceland 2020 if not for Covid. Bizarre!

Penic does not sound Czech to me, although the original spelling might make it closer. In general, surnames ending in -ic sound more South Slavic (the Balkans basically, former Yugoslavian countries). Qualifications: I am Czech and I love languages.

PLEASE listen to Icelands 2019 entry hatrid mun sigra its so out there and european as well lol

Please react to their entry for 2020, "think about things"...had Eurovision not been cancelled I think it would be between them and the Russian band Little Big

11:27 The Aussies are a bunch of GCs, so they can take it. 😂 Trust me on this as a Kiwi, where mocking Australia is basically a national pastime. 😉 Sorry to hear number 5 got blocked though guys, appreciate this one!

You guys should actually see their entry for euro vision the year before that; 2020

Entrepreneur is french. English vocabulary has so many words coming from French language.

No 5????

Please still listen to hatari hatrid mun sigra

I really hope that the one that got blocked is not Shum, i can't belive i missed it 😭

I voted for Dađi in 2021 ❤️ also the original music video is genious, check that out!

Please do Anitta, Bang, Sim ou Não, downtown, boys dont cry and envolver. She is amazing artist!

They made those keytars themselves before the contest. Since you don't actually play any instruments live (only singing is live), they didn't had to be functional.

Are we missing a week? Isn't it #5 to #1?

My dudes! I have compiled a list of Top 5 Alternative songs (recent-ish years*) in case you want a break from doing the straight ranked Top 5 for each year. 5. Under The Ladder by MELOVIN (Ukraine 2018) | Genre: Emo / Pop Rock 4. Hatrið Mun Sigra [transl. Hatred Will Prevail] by Hatari (Iceland 2019) | Genre: Industrial 3. Promise by Voyager (Australia 2023) | Genre: Progressive Rock 2. Dark Side by Blind Channel (Finland 2021) | Genre: Nu Metal 1. Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi (Finland 2006) | Genre: Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Made it a playlist for you too: ru-vid.com/group/PL150w6WMSHX98fixnVUX_xz61mas3F9g7&si=YxKxuA-PYjshTi1B * Eurovision fans will notice a very notable exception from this list, and that's because they placed in the "Top 5" of their year recently, and also crossed-over to the American market, so I think there's a good chance you'll see their performance separately. Doing Top 5's based on genre like this might also give a more broad view of the types of songs that go to Eurovision, since the Top 5 each year are usually very consumer-friendly (always exceptions to this of course).

You need to react to San Marino senhit & flo rida! Eurovision 2021 with adrenalina

🎉🎉🎉🎉

🤩❤️😍

Nah...the last ones to get their gifts are the Spanish. Not because they are naughty but because its the three wise Kings that bring them their gifts so they have to wait until Epihany (the visitation of the kings to Jesus) on the 6th of January

"Could be American"?!?! Honey, no it couldn't! Americans are snowflakes and lots of them would be offended on most of the performances or lyrics or styling or whatever 😅
