Indeed... I was worried she'd fail but alas... it seems Estonia's fortunes have been reversed.

2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 - failed
2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 - qualified

They have turned things around!!

Magnificent performance, if a bit of a boring song. I'm glad this went through, like everytime the Estonian language graces the Eurovision Song Contest.

In the semis second spot is not so deadly, the curse works in the final :lol:
She said she didn't expect it because Latvia and Finland were not in her semi, she said sometimes it's neighbor voting, but she managed without it ;D They said the voting is sometimes political, but in their case it wasn't because apparently people from many other countries liked it.

Of course it isn't. Before Birgit the qualifiying ratio for #2 was 7 out of 10, so now it's 8 out of 11.

Congrats Estonia! The song is a bit conventional, but it's still a nice ballad and doesn't come off as fake and cheesy like the Russian or Georgian ones...

Keep up sending entries in Estonian!

I must say I didn't expect it to qualify though, and I have a slight fear it's mostly because of juries...

As I said, I've never been a fan. I find the song pretty old-fashioned and forgettable. But after such strong performance I have nothing to complain.
