"Я не знаю,что она пила,но я возьму две"👍

In the chorus: “Everyone around is fighting, but not praying. A son without a father, a daughter without a father. But a broken family won’t break me” 🙏🏼🇷🇺

Russia has a very big problem with domestic violence, so the song is much deeper than it seems at first glance.

Песня содержит так много отсылок к культуре, которые поймут русские. А многие из нас не разбирают отсылки к Александру Грину, а говнятся. Очень жаль.

Всем иностранцам нравиться ,а русскому народу нет ...очень жаль

Basically she sings about a journey of Russian woman starting with countryside way of living and working in the fields and always waiting for something (arranged marriages and other stuff), but then she realizes that she doesn’t need to wait (literally it says “why should I wait? Stand up and let’s go”). In the second part she sings about expectations from women (you are in your 30’s unmarried and have no kid? What a shame. Attractive but need to lose some weight and ect.) In the traditional part she sing about kids brought up without a fathers in kinda broken families (which is a huge problem for Russia, kids are often raised my only mother and grandmother, father has no contact with them), but this situation won’t break her.

I love how it actually says Russian woman on her back😁

Field, field, field, and I'm so small Field, field, field, and I'm so small How do I walk this field without a torch? How do I walk this field if I'm alone? Should I wait for someone to offer me a hand? (as in marriage) Who would offer me a hand, girls? From centuries ago all around the clock We're waiting for a ship, waiting for a ship (probably a reference to Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin, a book where a young girl is waiting for the ship with scarlet sail to bring her future husband) We're waiting for a ship, waiting for a ship What's the point in waiting? Get up and go. Every Russian woman needs to know You're strong enough to bounce against the wall Every Russian woman needs to know You're strong enough to bounce against the wall What's the point in playing tough? Oh, you're so pretty! Waiting for your future man? Oh, you're so pretty! You're already 30, hello, why don't you have kids? You're pretty all in all, but you should lose weight. Wear something longer, wear something shorter, You grew up without a father, do everything you don't want to. You sure you don't want it? You don't want to, but you have to. Listen, seriously, we're not a herd of sheep All you crows, lay off of me. And now nick this down - I don't judge, I just love myself so freaking much. They're fighting, they're fighting Everybody's always fighting and never pray A son without a father, a daughter without a father But this broken family will not break me. Every Russian woman needs to know You're strong enough to bounce against the wall Every Russian woman needs to know You're strong enough Hey, Russian women, vote for me! Yeah, you're strong enough, you're strong enough Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid Don't be afraid They're fighting, they're fighting Everybody's always fighting and never pray A son without a father, a daughter without a father But this broken family will not break me.

This is so much better than I expected from Russia, this is different, authentic, fun and she is full of charisma, my favourite Russian entry in more than a decade.

How interesting: two completely polar opinions in one video. To my mind, when a song evokes such opposing emotions, the goal is achieved.

I don't speak Russian, but I didn't miss the reference to domestic violence. This is so powerful. What a strong, bad-ass lady :)

I love that russia sends something weird that actually feels kind of "human" and real this year! Don't get me wrong, Russia is one of my favourite countries in esc but it’s a nice break from their perfect and calculated songs! (Btw I love perfect and calculated songs too!)

some facts - she is an immigrant from Tajikistan and the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees. also she's one of the russian celebrities to openly advocate lgbtq. this makes her even better to european listeners and even more hated for russian conservatives. hot coctail

dear Russians, accept the fact that little big doesn't want to perform, honestly I wouldn't want to after everything that happened with the COVID19, look forward to having a song that can win, a beautiful folk song with a little techno is a winning combination, 12 points from Croatia, enjoy

I love the sheer amount of native languages this year. Denmark, Ukraine, Albania, now Russia! ❤️🇷🇺🔥

I LOVED IT. SHE'S SO CHARISMATIC. It's clearly made for the home audience and not ESC - and those are usually the best songs. I don't want my music fed to me like a bird mum would, chewed up and spat in my mouth, I want to pick and roast my vegetables myself, and that's what I felt this song let me do

Hello from Russia! Song about strong woman fighting against cruel world, stereotypes and malicious tongues!? Wowowow! Pretty hot topic. Happy to see such a song in contest. Especially from my country. Очень здорово! Желаю ей успехов!

"I don't know what she drank, but i'll take two" 🤣🤣👍

*Russia, how would you like your staging?* Manizha: *Yes*

Пока Русские засирают Манижу , иностранцы кайфуют под ее песню и номер🔥

I love the fact I could understand some words in Russian😂My 5 months of study of the language so far have repaid me

It's a risk but..Russia is going to qualify with this song. It's what i would like to call a good mess. And i do like all the elements in it.

Loving this First time we are finally sending something authentic. This time I don't even care about the place she gets, she has all my support

Love the craziness, and it’s so wonderful to hear the Russian language again. It’s been too long!!

This reminds me of the entries we became accustomed to hearing/seeing in the 2000s. Bonkers! It's what makes Eurovision such a great viewing each year. I'm loving all these throwback revival beats this year.

William has such great pronounciation in Russian 😰

This is an anthem not only to the Russian, but also to every women. Irrespective of difficulties a real women enlightens with love. This is a really powerful song. Go Manizha. Spread your word!

Yes, the queen has finally arrived 🙌! So proud of Manizha and I’m sure she’ll really show what she’s made of in May. Can’t be more proud of her and being from the same country as her!

*I am Russian and I am extremely happy Manizha will represent us in Rotterdam. It's quite the bold and risky choice, yes but the song is unique at the same time. She shook things up a little bit in the Eurovision community and that's a good thing going into Rotterdam because everyone now knows who she is. This is a great moment for us to take a break from the schlagers and songs about peace we've sent for so long*

First time i heard it i was like oh no Listened to it again and i am OBSESSED 🤩🤩

This doesn’t need a revamp. Juries love to reward the most plain, dull garbage. Hey 2019. We don’t need Eurovision artists chasing Jury votes. She’s amazing and so original and bold.

William, there's a reason why Julia Samoylova didn't qualify, and it is because it was awful. I agree that this song is not for everyone, but I sure hope it will qualify (it is one of my qualifiers) and I'm so happy to hear some Russian!

As a Russian I can say, that it is almost the first Russian song in esc , which is beautiful because of its lyrics. That’s my opinion. Don’t compare in to Бурановские бабушки or Little big (even though I personally love them). This song is deep, meaningful, strong. It’s about women’s power. And I love it. Even if she won’t win this will be my favourite Russian participant and favourite song.

Всем иностранцам нравится, а российскому народу все не так. Вам не нравился Лазарев, Литл Биг был для многих странно, а теперь, когда едет девушка и поет народно-попсовую песню на русском с английским и сейчас им не то.Когда же им будет то, что они скажут "ДА"? Мне нравится Манижа. Она точно запомнится🇷🇺❤😏 спасибо, парни.

Me: I don’t think deban is going to like this... Deban in the thumbnail : 😆 Me: 👁 👄 👁

Знаите когда я послушала в первый раз я подумала хрень какая-та но послушав раз 5 мне прям зашло необычно и круто звучит)

Good luck from Moldova 🌼🇲🇩

I feel like her winning was a great excuse for William reminding us he was at Julia Samoylova’s birthday party - beautiful name-drop 😂

I love this omgggg... this is my 12 points from Czechia.

This is strangely stunning. It's UNIQUE. I love it.

Боже я удивляюсь реакции иностранных друзей. Либо они лицемерят либо некоторые русские завистливые говнари! Манижа, детка, твои фанаты с тобой!!!

Я влюбилась в эту песню🤩

СУПЕР!!! ГОРЖУСЬ!!! Мы такие- РУССКИЕ ЖЕНЩИНЫ!!! КРАСИВЫЕ, СИЛЬНЫЕ ДУХОМ, с НЕСГИБАЕМОЙ ВОЛЕЙ, но чертовски НЕЖНЫЕ, ВЕРНЫЕ, умеющие ЛЮБИТЬ!!! БРАВО, МАНИЖА!!!! УСПЕХОВ и ПОБЕДЫ на ЕВРОВИДЕНИИ!!!

i know the song feels weird but if you listen to manizha thats her sound lol and i love it its a mix of all she is and loves. i just love her sound so i dint even realize someone would consider her messy and stuff lmao Deban have you heard her song Недославянка (Nedoslavyanka)? its about her ethnic identity and struggles to embrace herself (it sadly doesnt have eng subs).

I just ADORE this entry!! Definetly my favourite this year 🇷🇺❤️ good luck Rossiya ✨

Сначала она мне не очень понравилась, но посмотрев ещё раз мне очень нравится)

Жалко, чтт русских субтитров нет. Но ничего. Я читаю по глазам, то что хочешь мне сказать...

I don’t know what she drank, but I’ll take two 🤣 lol, greetings from Russia ☀️

Ну ребята, реально качает же! Невольно начинаешь двигаться!

Thanks for your reaction guys. I have my country in my top 5 for the first time in my life since 2002. I'm so surprised and happy 😭

"РускАя дженщичиенА" xD Man, your app for pronouncing russian words is broken, it sounds in an absolutely different way. Still your reaction is great, I really enjoyed it! Thank you!

"I dont know what she drinks but I'll take 2"hahahahaha dead

She’s all the spice girls in one 😂😂

Русское выступление смотреть не хотела по началу, потом, всё-же посмотрела..и такая стоп. Такой бомбовский контент...What??!!! What?!!! 1 0000 пунктов за Россию.За месседж. За смелость.

Love this reaction, guys, very thorough, very much on point, very respectful. Great job, overall!

Because it is about Russian women, you need to understand her message to them and how it is connected to her staging. They went through different times, from traditional life (folk beginning) then, soviet time (her outfit is a soviet-era full of feminism and woman being workers and men dying in WW2 with the chant about fatherless kids). Then she made a message about other's opinions on her appearance and she doesn't take them as an offence but makes her own decisions about what she wants in her life. This can be seen as empowering and liberating, but it is quite deep for women, and especially for Russian women, to remind them today, they are very strong from all the hard times they went through

She’s weird but I love it! she’s so charismatic! I hope they’ll do a great staging :)

Главный Посыл Этой Песни - Как Женщины - играют большую Роль в Жизни Всех!

I'm living for what Deban says 😊🙌

"I think that vodka had some coffee in it" Валяюсь🤣

What’s interesting, is that Manizha knew that she’d be going to Eurovision in 2018 when the vote was held in March 2021!

Modern and Slavic Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇷🇺

This is very good!!!!! Love from Lithuania!

Love love MANIZHA! ТОР

Wow guys! You felt the song's meaning without understanding the words💪👏👏👏

Иностранцы балдеют от музон а местный с ж...а сдирают последний волосинки от зависть. Манижа, умничка,мы тебя любим

Какая разница кто она , она наша - русская 🥰🤩

Manizha is awesome singer and we proud of her

"The Russia Cardi B" yeas! She is!!! She is the queen ✨

It's madness but it's absolutely compelling and I love the anthemic traditional parts! This is when the hot mess works...unlike Australia does for me. Well done Russia! Well done Manizha! Well done Russian Woman! I'm giving my top points to San Marino and Russia this year! Deban got this thank God. William- FAIL- seriously William- drink some Vodka cook up some Russian Borscht and feel it!

Это лучше чем О.Бузова.

I love how back then William was absolutely unsure that Manizha's gonna qualify but she converted him into a believer and right now she's his #1 in the 1st semi 😁

Song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

Omg I just loooove the Performance! It’s gonna be tough to compete with such an energetic singer 😍

Basically, this song is about Russian women and their problems. At the beginning she referenced to a book Scarlet Sails and then she says "Why waiting? Get up and go. Rap part is about stereotypes: You already 30? Why don't you have children? Wear something longer, wear something shorter. Yeah, you're pretty, but you need to lose weight. The folk part is about broken families, she says "son without father, daughter without father, but this broken family won't break me".

I’m really obsessed with this song!!

Love this performance from russia. Greetings from austria

All the h8rs from Russia , you are so worried that Russia will look weak and not "Russian enough" ,yet you are condemning beautiful lady who express all the energy and power of Russian women. Stop being so fogging dramatic and self-conscious and accept your charisma and authenticity !!! Manizha rocks!!!

very drive and beautiful song! 🇷🇺🏆💥 Manizha good luck @manizha love love and live 🔥🔥🔥 go, win, Sochi 2022 🙏🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Thank u for your amazing reaction for our bright and talented Manizha :-) We very appreciate your openion and so hope that Manizha will take a good place :-)

First listening...and I am with William on this one But we never know what may happen in Rotterdam Good luck!

Great message, unique presentation. Russia always deliver to be remember it.

Love U guys Manizha I’m in love with u and ur powerful voice ❤️

Thank you from Russia 🥺❤️

Regarding women in politics-the first female ambassador in the world ever had been Alexandra Kolontai, a prominent Russian socialist feminist, who was the ambassador of the USSR to Norway.

I agree that it's not a commercial song, like you said, it won't be played on the radio - BUT I'm glad that we don't only have generic radio bops in Eurovision. There's nothing wrong with a great pop song, I mean... Fuego was... FUEGO 🔥 Eurphoria, hello! But I just mean that I think it's great that we also have organic, traditional folk music as well! Even if it's just folk pop and not entirely folk music. So I don't care if this gets played on the radio, and I hope that we will keep hearing some folk elements every year in Eurovision in the future as well 😊 Спасибо россия! ♥️

I’m putting this as my favourite to win, along with Italy, they’re both very original but this is such an epic song, don’t understand a word but her power and stage presence is pure class 👌🏼👌🏼

Thank you for your reaction!

I think her mechanic jumpsuit refers to the 'We Can Do It!' poster

Завидуйте и восхищайтесь нашей участницей на евровидение.

This song is Samanta Tīna level weird, but it's a bop! 💕

ЭТО ОЧЕНЬ КРУТО! и в России нам нравится! Она очень крутая! Fantastic!!!!

You kill it with: I don’t know what she drink I’ll take two🤣🤣

Love it!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I would love to see this revamped, but they don't even have time for it! Correct me if I am wrong but the song submission deadline is less than a week away, isn't it?

Best Russian entry since I started following Eurovision, bar none. Manizha deserved to win this 100%!

В Африке она должна быть особенно популярна .

Possibly my favorite Russian entry ever

hahah the second william said 'coffee' i got an ad for coffee ;)

Oh, guys, I love your reactions and discussions so much! I signed up for you last year, and the Eurovision Song Contest has become even more interesting for me! Even without understanding the text, you have understood much more than the Russian audience. I hope Manizha will get at least in the top 10...
