Looks like there was a reaction video by Benjamin on wiwiblogg's channel, but they took it down because he was a bit too straightforward and he said bad comments about Hungary, Romania and some other countries.

Wanna watch it so bad :(

Now I know why I don't like Benjamin. :mad: Hungary and Romania are in my top 10.

"I thought it was so funny how candid he was and that he just said anything that popped to his mind, like we do when speaking to a friend. Of course he would change his wording on some, had he read the translations or heard the whole songs. A harmless reaction to a 20 second clip of music video/song. Hope they don't re upload it, because this community is clearly not up for a joke. Better we just keep with the "reactions" of saying "that's nice, that's also nice", - to every song, because that is clearly how all of us online does it :'D " Let’s also keep in mind that Benjamin has ADHD and he usually acts without thinking twice...

"Benjamin wasn't given any content of the songs so he reacted only to what he saw. People are so eager to get offended that they forget what they are looking at, it was not a review he made of the songs but an innocent first reaction. I laughed so much when I watched it and so many things he said are said thousend times allready in the comment sections. For me it was nice to see someone being human instead of thinking that he must censor himself because he's in a competition :D"

"You're just exaggerating to create drama and to make people dislike Benjamin. He was just expressing his opinions. A reaction video where a person says "This is nice" about everything is just boring as hell. He didn't say anything rude, people should be able to take critizism and understand that people can have different opinions, without being such sensitive snowflakes that gets offended by everything."

Not my comments, all of these three, but I agree with them, because I watched the whole video, I don't have time to write my own comments now. :D Personally, my first reaction to Hungary was exactly the same "OO, too much screaming, too agressive", I don't like to listen to metal at all, but it grew on me after I listened to it few times, it is now in my top 10. :lol: As for me, his reactions made me laugh actually, it was funny to watch.

He found Romania nice, but Hungary and San Marino were bad for him.

He has positive reaction to most of the songs actually, he loved Australia, France, Poland, said that Elina is beautiful and her voice, and that he loves the dress performance, loved Eleni and her song, and Rybak too, said that Czechia is nice, Mikolas has nice energy and song is nice, but sounds like Talk Dirty ( I mean, he is right, we ALL POINTED it here about that song already), Italy is great, only didn't like metal and rock, and said that San Marino is low budget ( when it really is). He was WAY TOO HONEST, and people can't wait to be mean to him again. Fans think honest means disrespectful. Why does he need to pretend to like all the entries?! Then it should not be called REACTION video, but BEING FAKE video.

I am quoting myself because I meant it actually in a kidding way. :lol: It Is okay to like or dislike a song as long as you don't say it in a dispiteous way.

But fans of those songs, that Benjamin disliked, turned against him. LOL, I am still thinking that lot of fans are acting like 5 years old kids when you take away favorite toy from them! It appears as that. I mean, get a life! Not you [MENTION=16080]mauve[/MENTION], those haters on Youtube. :D His mistake was that he was completely honest, he didn't want to pretend like all people like to do, they were expecting for him to say that all songs are masterpieces and nice. He actually said when Sweden arrived in recap: "Oooh, I love this guy, this is the best song so far!", but anyone can see that it is a joke. :lol:

LOL, he thinks he is the best!

He liked Greek entry, and Eleni especially, hahaha. :D He was "rude", towards Hungary, San Marino and Macedonia. All other songs he loved and was polite.

But still it's nice to see how a weak singer reacts to other competitors in the same contest. :)

Why they deleted the video? Were they asked to do it?

He should be more careful i think!

Even if I support and defend him, too much, I will agree with you. I think he didn't intentionally want to do harm, but it appears like that, especially, because most of those people commenting him on Youtube, already hated him without a real reason- well, at least now they found that reason.

I don't think you should say you like something, if you don't, just for others to love you, but I am only in this, I guess. He loved 39 others songs, it doesn't matter those 4, it would be weird if someone loves all songs...
