Rap,Hip Hop Music?

[Thaidup]

Never really liked Rap music, I am over 50 so that may explain some of it, (i generally like more upbeat music) but occasionally some rap song pops up with a good tune or beat.

Never been into that type of music but now and again some band/singer produces something i like, Best to have a wide listening variety after all. If you don't taste it you will never know if you like it?.

This one was hard to understand, the music sounds either Arabian or Indian I heard some Christian lines and the subs are too small to read and it appears to be set in the Ukraine conflict area, If I was a skeptic I would think that this is a propaganda music video? just my critic on the video production.never did see the Eurovision version.

Another hard to understand music video, close your eyes and listen? The visuals don't meet the expectations, sounds like a black rapper come western singer in a southern state of the USA.

Has a good beat and rhythm though, I like it.

Reminds me of Teddy Swims but he's more of a singer

 

This is his cover of Mario's "Let Me Love You"

A very popular 90's R&B song

 

He is excellent!

Does Journey amazing as well

This lady is awesome to watch

She's a vocal coach and critiques songs/singers

She is obviously very passionate 

 

 

And this is Teddy's best cover 

It's amazing!

 

 

 

 

[Marc26]

Teddy's own stuff is great as well

 

He's a bit more soulful in his own music

Its well known that the song is based on a traditional Ukrainian folk  ballad mashed with hip hop. Kalush is a Ukrainian rap group, and they had a  side project, the Kalush Orchestra, when they teamed up with Tymofii Muzychuk and Vitalii Duzhyk, to tap into traditional Ukrainian folk. To me, this is perfect for Eurovision. It makes a traditional music form accessible to a wide range of cultures.

The video was produced post-Eurovision. Well produced. You bet its propaganda, like Olivier's Henry V of 1944 was propaganda. The band immediately gave all proceeds to war victims, including selling off their award.

Live final

(the only thing militaristic is perhaps the multi-colour ghillie suits). The video depicts how the Russian invasion triggered a flood of refugees, mostly women, children and old people, illustrated the how children were seperated in the chaos, and predicted correctly the high percentage of the Ukrainian armed forces that are women.

And given the interest in covers, a beautiful Lithunanian cover, proceeds to the victims of Russian aggression
