Previously on the Novympia channel:
-
Not Synced
- You're freaking me out.
- We're women in STEM, we'll figure it out
-
Not Synced
We're not women in STEM,
we don't even know what it means.
-
Not Synced
And coming up:
-
Not Synced
It's a good hook.
-
Not Synced
Oh
-
Not Synced
I find you very rude.
-
Not Synced
(laughter)
-
Not Synced
The Novympia channel is made possible
by our gorgeous patrons,
-
Not Synced
who get access to
the most unappealing crap you'll find
-
Not Synced
anywhere on the whole internet.
-
Not Synced
Cue the snafu!
-
Not Synced
Ah, g'day.
-
Not Synced
Yes, hello, bloody hell, yes.
-
Not Synced
Welcome to another
Novympia Eurovision reaction video.
-
Not Synced
My name is Nova.
-
Not Synced
Yeah, and I'm Olympia.
-
Not Synced
Today we are dressed like chicks.
-
Not Synced
Yeah.
-
Not Synced
Sometimes that happens 'round here.
-
Not Synced
Sometimes. Sorry 'bout it.
-
Not Synced
Mmm meant to tell you about that.
-
Not Synced
Today we are reacting
to Australia's entry for Eurovision 2024.
-
Not Synced
"Oh my god!"
-
Not Synced
Why are they even in it,
they're not even in Europe
-
Not Synced
(laughs)
-
Not Synced
Joking, I'm joking
-
Not Synced
I would just like to say that
Olympia is actually not Australian.
-
Not Synced
"So you're a liar.
Not only are you fake, you're a liar.
-
Not Synced
There you go. Ba-boom."
-
Not Synced
I'm not Australian, no.
-
Not Synced
That is a lie.
-
Not Synced
Ah, yes, no I am.
-
Not Synced
And also, how lovely
to react to my home nation today.
-
Not Synced
She's a liar.
-
Not Synced
Yes.
-
Not Synced
And a fraudster.
-
Not Synced
Also, just very very quickly,
-
Not Synced
because I know good goddamn well
there will be comments:
-
Not Synced
Australia, yes they're not in Europe.
-
Not Synced
They were invited to take part
in Eurovision in 2015
-
Not Synced
as a bit of a milestone celebration
-
Not Synced
'cause they'd broadcast Eurovision
for years and years and years.
-
Not Synced
And then they were just like,
well we're already in it,
-
Not Synced
we might as well stay in it.
-
Not Synced
There are several countries in Eurovision
not in Europe, but they are in the EBU.
-
Not Synced
The requirement is that you are a member
of the European Broadcasting Union,
-
Not Synced
and Australia now are.
-
Not Synced
So they're in it,
and I love that they're in it,
-
Not Synced
and we're not gonna talk about it
any more.
-
Not Synced
Now, who is representing Australia
for 2024, Nova?
-
Not Synced
Are they called Electric Fields?
-
Not Synced
So, Electric Fields are a duo.
-
Not Synced
It's electronic music and I know that
the one artist is called Zaachariaha.
-
Not Synced
Forgive me, I can't remember
the name of the other one.
-
Not Synced
What I do know is that Electric Fields
participated in Australia's national final
-
Not Synced
which they haven't had now
for a couple of years,
-
Not Synced
but they did have one
called Australia Decides.
-
Not Synced
It was really good.
-
Not Synced
And they entered into,
I want to say it was 2019
-
Not Synced
with a song called "2000 And Whatever".
-
Not Synced
So we are aware of Electric Fields,
and in particular
-
Not Synced
the vocalist Zaachariaha,
-
Not Synced
who is an Indigenous artist,
nonbinary artist, has a killer voice.
-
Not Synced
The charisma that exudes
when they're onstage
-
Not Synced
A really infectious stage presence.
-
Not Synced
And the vocal is insane.
-
Not Synced
So, we have heard the song
they're submitting this year.
-
Not Synced
We have, I'm also glad
that we're not doing a blind reaction.
-
Not Synced
I know a lot of you guys
prefer a blind reaction,
-
Not Synced
but sometimes I think it is best
for us to listen to a song a few times,
-
Not Synced
do a little bit of research,
and just sit with it.
-
Not Synced
Because my initial reaction to this
probably wouldn't have been
-
Not Synced
as positive or a strong
as the feelings I have for it now.
-
Not Synced
Yes, and I mean, some of the songs
we have reacted to blindly,
-
Not Synced
some we've sat
and milled over for a while,
-
Not Synced
so there's gonna be a whole, you know-
-
Not Synced
throughout the whole playlist
of reaction videos for this year,
-
Not Synced
there's a bit of a mixed bag in there.
-
Not Synced
But we thought
"2000 And Whatever" was sick,
-
Not Synced
I think that would've been
an excellent entry for Australia.
-
Not Synced
Yeah, I liked that.
-
Not Synced
Let's watch this one if you're ready to.
-
Not Synced
Yeah.
-
Not Synced
And we'll talk about how we feel
that this is gonna go for them.
-
Not Synced
So the song is called "One Milkali",
which translates to 'one blood'.
-
Not Synced
I will say, straight off the bat,
that this is a "music video",
-
Not Synced
if you can call it that.
-
Not Synced
This is a lyric video, let's be real.
-
Not Synced
So interestingly, the Eurovision channel
called it "official video".
-
Not Synced
On their channel,
it's called a lyric video.
-
Not Synced
Is it? Okay, interesting.
-
Not Synced
Because - but I've said this, though.
-
Not Synced
Hang on a second,
let's just pause it before.
-
Not Synced
I've said this before, though,
-
Not Synced
Eurovision has a way of defining
how it uploads its videos,
-
Not Synced
either as "Official Music Video"
or "National Final Performance".
-
Not Synced
They're very binary like that,
-
Not Synced
they don't come up
with anything in between.
-
Not Synced
So they've called this
"Official Music Video",
-
Not Synced
it's not a music video!
-
Not Synced
Like, it literally isn't,
'cause they're just sitting there
-
Not Synced
with the lyrics - it's a lyric video.
-
Not Synced
Okay, okay.
-
Not Synced
So this doesn't give away anything,
really, does it?
-
Not Synced
Okay.
