So many people saying they don’t deserve the win. But WHY? That song is one of the most if not the most artistic song Eurovision has given us in the last 10 years.

What I found really impressive about their performance, is that they weren't alone on Stage. There was a Cameraman and two People in Blacksuits helping with various movements of the Disc. And you can see none of those 3 no matter which Camera or Camera angle is being used. And it's a LIVE-Show. D: It's so impressive as I don't know how one would coordinate these people. It's in the BTS of the Performance.

I'm so glad Nemo won; not just because they ABSOLUTELY deserve it, but also because this will now open Eurovision up to more daring and experimental songs in the future. Yes!

They also have a version made with their home town symphonic orchestra that is playing a lot more into that opera aspect. And they wear Céline Dion's dress for it.

This has become my favourite eurovision song of all time, can't get enough of it!!

Exactly! Singing so amazingly while engaging there core leaning back like the matrix was the cherry on top such a flex haha ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been utterly obsessed with Nemo's The Code performance, it's such a beautiful piece of artwork that I keep finding more and more layers and patterns the more I dig into it. The performance itself is this incredible piece of story telling to me. Nemo previously had a song This Body which opens with "If this body was a house, I'd burn it down" and was about their struggles with feeling uncomfortable and mis-identified with their body. This performance almost embraces their body as just a component, not the defining feature, of who they are. The performance is also such a physically demanding piece that I can't help but feel that Nemo is more comfortable in their body than most, they have this mastery over it. The spinner is also this symbol of fluidity. Nemo has a spinner on a necklace they're wearing during the performance too and mentioned how they love the spinner because of how it needs to be fluid to be stable. As the performance goes on the more we watch as Nemo tells us their story through the spinner! It begins as this mountain to be climbed and they struggle. Slowly slowly they begin climbing it faster and more skillfully. There are stumbles along the way, and as an audience member I feel their emotions through it all. I feel afraid for them that they might fall and get hurt, I feel the joy and fun they have as they ride it. More fluidity is included as the performance goes on and the more Nemo masters this crazy ride of theirs. They finish beautifully balanced atop the spinner. An absolute masterpiece and what I've gushed about here isn't even the half of how this has tickled my mind - truly art!

The song and performance are both amazing and, as a nonbinary person myself, I'm really proud of them for being the first enby to win Eurovision. Incidentally, I never knew that Nemo means no one. That really puts an interesting spin on Jules Verne's Captain Nemo.

Omg as a huge eurovision fan this makes me so happy that you are reacting to this! Fully justified too, so happy they won! 😍🤩❤️

There's no surprise Nemo knows how to sing opera: Before they became a rapper and starting at the age of 9, they performed in children's operas and in a leading role in a musical called "ich war noch niemals in New York", a musical btw. based on Udo Jürgens songs. Udo Jürgens was a Deutsche Schlager performer and ESC winner back in the 60-ies (for Austria). Nemo's story has many facettes.

This is genuinely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard - the raw energy, they’re absolute fire. Sheer technical and artistic achievement that this song is

I love Nemo and I am so happy they won. I think the breath here is really part of the show, as you have indicated already. They started singing opera at age 13. Your reaction is so beautiful :).

That was a great and professional analysis from you. I liked it very much. Greetings from Switzerland.👏

their happiness and personality... fills this entire scene, there really is no need for anything more than Nemo, they are contagious with their joy... their soul can save this world!

What a nice review! Thank you very much!

Thise breaths at the start are part of the performance... In the music video as well. I think it is to symbolise the effort or the hill they have had to climb to realise their truth

I'm so happy for Nemo 😭 Finding your true self and having everyone celebrating with you 😌

Thank you so much for reacting to this singer and their song, and for sharing your joy and excitement with us.

you are very entertaining and give good insights too. thanks
