Re: ESTONIA 2013
Actually, I find Elina Born and Grete Paia weaker. Grete Paia has a song with nice lyrics but a bad chorus. It looks like a track from an album by Laura that she would never dare to promote as a single... And Elina Born seems to lack experience and, well, Rästa and Krieger have done far far better songs.
I couldn't listen to TB while it was still possible, but I guess it is good based on their work...
BTW, Teele or Liis could be easily in the final. They have great songs and they can do bombastic performances, espacially Teele. I'm still convinced that without Teele Viira, Getter Jaani would have never won Eesti Laul. And without her in Düsseldorf, her singing was very weak (plus the setting that trashed evreything, and yet it's a big tune !).
And we also lack the song by Anisa, penned by 2QuickStart. I really wonder what it can be... ! And Sarah, coming back from nowhere... Perhaps she has the tune of the century ! mouahahaha And Rosanna Lints, she's a very good performer. She seems to have a dance tune. It may be good, though Rolf song is quite bad and I think it won't advance to the final...
But, really, I tink that PTN is not the solution. And personnaly I prefer Lähen ja Tulen and it coul have succeded here... Meil on aega veel is poker...
I also presume that Facelift Deer will have public support and jury hating because of the very poor lyrics : "Dancing just for the show, Dance all night just for the show"... What a great piece of poetry ! hahaha And yet song isn't bad !
I also really like the song by Marylin Jurman, as I always like what she does, with Karl Kanter, but I know she won't go far in the competition... ! :-)
But still it's good, you have what to make a good final, and the point is not having tons of great songs, it's about having the one that can do well ! Melodifestivalen was very crappy last year but... they had Loreen !
