00:00Greetings, everyone, and welcome to my channel. It is time for another reaction video, and today I'm going to be reacting to Achilles and his song Ferto, with which he will be competing in Greece national final in order to represent Greece in Eurovision 2026.
00:15Guys, the reason why I'm reacting to this song is because I've heard a bit, because I don't live under a rock, and it's been catching a lot of buzz, and my TikTok algorithm thinks that I really want to listen to this song, so I've been hearing a lot of snippets.
00:29I think it was mostly the same, or like two or three parts of the songs, I didn't hear much, and now when I see it, I kind of swipe away right away, because, I don't know, I'm entering here in a bit of prejudice, because the snippets that I've heard are starting to get annoying a little bit.
00:45They were catching, and then they started to get a bit annoying. That's why I want to listen to this song in its entirety, because, yeah, I usually don't know much or at all before I react here.
00:55I already kind of have an opinion that it's a bit annoying, so I hope that it's going to change after I listen to the full thing.
01:03We're all set, and we can proceed with the reaction. So, Achilles, Ferto, this is Sing for Greece. This is kind of a video in a very small room.
01:11I think that all participants have done that. Pesma Zebravisi did something similar, so, yeah, this is obviously not a live performance. Let's go.
01:25I'm finally listening to the whole thing. Can't believe.
01:27I can't believe.
01:41I can't believe.
01:43I can't believe.
01:45Ooh! Nice synth. I haven't heard this.
01:50Ooh. Ooh! I love this part.
01:56Yeah! Heard this! I heard this! This is the part that's getting a bit annoying, so let's hear it within the song.
02:03This is the part that's getting a bit annoying, so let's hear it within the song.
02:15Oof, I love this.
02:21I've heard all of this.
02:33Okay, don't know this part.
02:48I like this part. I like all the parts except the ones that I know so far.
02:52And it's like I don't like. They're stuck in my mind.
02:56Okay.
03:01Okay.
03:14Love this.
03:26Okay.
03:43What?
03:47What?
03:52I had no idea we're gonna...
03:53Yeah, we're gonna...
04:12I didn't understand at all, but I kind of understand.
04:24All right, so I'm very glad that I listened to the entire song because, yeah, my opinions are changing a little bit.
04:30Actually, my opinion is changing.
04:31My opinion on the part that I did know, which is the first course and the pre-course, was this is awesome.
04:38And then it was stuck in my mind and they kept being stuck.
04:41And then I kept hearing it again and again and again and again.
04:44And I was like, oh, enough already.
04:46And yeah, I'm glad that I listened to the entire thing.
04:48The slow part was a really pleasant surprise.
04:52I really wanna quickly look at the lyrics.
04:54Well, it's gonna be a bit longer for me.
04:56I'm gonna cut the part of me looking for the lyrics.
04:59Because I have a feeling it's one of these kind of songs that look like joke entry, but there is a deeper meaning behind them.
05:06That's why I also want to want to see the lyrics, especially the slow part.
05:12OK, so I did take a look at the lyrics.
05:14So, yeah, the slow part is the point of the song where he sing to his mother that he will provide.
05:21And if he wins the Eurovision, I guess that he will provide and that they didn't have much of him growing up and that he wants to to buy stuff for her.
05:32And all right. All right. So there is a deeper meaning that that little part.
05:37So, yeah, this is the type of song which has been quite popular in the last couple of years.
05:47I'm gonna be putting it into this category with Caria, with Joost and Jura Papa and Tommy Cash, arguably Baby Lasagna as well.
05:59So, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is going to be very popular with the public.
06:03Yeah, I think it's good. I think it's cool. I think it's very memorable.
06:08So, yeah, now that part which started to get annoying for me a little bit within the song, it feels a bit, it feels more natural.
06:19Overall, I have to say that it kind of feels a bit too chaotic for me.
06:26It's good. It's catchy. It's memorable. It's also funny in the most parts.
06:30And he has a wild energy. I hope that he's going to be able to transfer that also to the live performance.
06:37But, yeah, overall, I just think that a lot happens within the song.
06:43There's so many different moments in such a short song.
06:47And it's kind of a bit all over the place. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
06:53But, yeah, it's just, it's just, I gotta feel like I don't know, have no clue what's happening right now.
07:00And, yeah, so that, even that slower part was a nice moment to breathe.
07:04With songs like this, definitely the live performance is Make It or Break It.
07:10And I have no clue what the performance is going to look like.
07:14I guess it's going to be wild and energetic and it's going to have a choreography.
07:18So, yeah, for my full opinion, I definitely want to wait and see also the live performance.
07:24Because, for example, if I take Tommy Cash, for example, I was, I liked the song, but I wasn't thrilled about it until I saw the Eurovision performance.
07:34And not even the national final. It was fun. It was cool.
07:37But then the national final performance, sorry, the Eurovision performance really sealed the deal for me.
07:43I know there are some other favorites also for Greece national selection.
07:48There is Evangelia, if I'm not mistaken.
07:52So, yeah, we'll see if Achilles Enverto is going to go to Eurovision.
07:57But I think that when it comes to the public, that he's the heavy favorite.
08:00And if he wins, he's definitely going to be one of the, one of the public favorites.
08:04That's for sure.
08:05So, yeah, overall, it is a very energetic, memorable, fun song.
08:10Exactly what's been going well on Eurovision in the past couple of years.
08:15And, yeah, as overall, thanks God that I listened to it.
08:18That annoying part that started to get a bit annoying for me is now, I would say, gone.
08:24Because now the song as a whole, there are some really, really cool moments.
08:27And, yeah, it fits in the song.
08:30So, yeah, that's all I have to say about this.
08:34And, yeah, let's see if Achilles is going to win, if Erto is going to be representing Greece.
08:40And, yeah, I will definitely be reacting to the winner.
08:44So, even if it's Achilles again, I will be reacting to the national final performance.
08:48Which I honestly cannot wait to see.
08:50Because I think that there is a potential for something huge here for Greece this year.
08:54So, yeah, if you want to stay tuned for that, you can hit the subscribe button.
08:58And I will see you soon with another reaction.
09:01Thank you very much for watching and see you soon.
09:04Bye-bye.
