Estonia ESTONIA 2022 - Stefan - Hope

[escYOUnited]

We let them tell us what to do
Why why why
We live to die for worthy things
Oh ya ya ya

We promised we would never lose our pride
Your word's worth nothing if you lie
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground

We'll be the last ones breathing here

Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

We're taught that we were born to lose
But why why why
Don't waste your breath, it's time to choose
Oh ya ya ya

We promised we would never lose our pride
Your word's worth nothing if you lie
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground

I said
Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

I hope

We let them tell us what to do
Why why why
We live to die for worthy things
Oh ya ya ya

No matter what they try, tearing up our lives
I know we will always rise

I said
Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

I hope

The future still remains our own

I hope

Yassssss

 

[AlekS]

Yaaaas!!!!


This voting, tho:

 

[lasse braun]

WTF...

 

[alyrin]

THANK GOD

 

[Mainshow]

Did Elina qualify? - I´m watching Israel right now and I just missed the announcement.

edit: users with Elina as an avatar thanking God is quite obvious now, though.

Thank Godney, she qualified!!!!!!!!

 

[HayashiM]

Anyway, unless the jury changes, Elina is clearly chanceless in the finals... But at least she graced us with another iconic moment and I have a fantastic song on my playlist.

 

[ekzuu]

Nah... I really wanted some other singer qualify. Lacking of her song and performance was illustrated tho by the way how nonevent it was and that it got its place thanks to the 2nd round. It won't win fosure

Jury vote:

Televote Round 1:

Televote Round 2:

 

[Mainshow]

The Juries didnt vote for "Storm". Neither at EL nor at ESC.

"Storm" was part of their qualifiers? - I call this "voting for a song" - I know that the televoters somehow went totally crazy for it and placed it #3 but I´m still shocked that the juries ranked it higher than Portugal, Georgia, Poland which were genuine, honest, authentic, interesting, progressive and different - still they chose the most generic song of the entire semi to qualify.

The jury has usually been international in the final.

 

[njdevils94]

Yeah the 5 qualifiers I expected. I wonder in Frants & Triin got any decent support in the televote.

 

[laululind]

Well, got 5/5 qualifiers in the end, guess this semi was pretty easy to predict. No surprises in the end! Didn't expect Elina to be the one saved by last round tho'. Next semi seems quite a bit harder to predict. We'll get rehearsal pics tomorrow & find out who's actually on stage and who isn't, but right now I'd say... Stefan & Sahlene most likely through. After that tho'.. Black Velvet will get televote support, but juries will probably dislike it. Maian & Pur Mudd & Jaagup can get jury support, but will they get enough televotes? Evelin Samuel & Boamadu were televote qualifiers in the semis, but will they stand out on stage? The only one that seems hopeless to me is Minimal Wind, otherwise it's a very open semi. Should be interesting.

 

[Bmbriga]

I didn't watch the show unfortunately, but if I remember correctly, the only my top 5 song in this semifinal was Merilin Mälk's one, so I'm not thrilled. I remember liking Ott's song, so that's something, I guess.

 

[ollibox]

The greatest robbery of the night for me - Kaia-Liisa. Her live was just ... OMG! And - before that Semi I wasn't confident at all she could qualify. Her live was just SO EXCELLENT!
A bit sad for Merilin Mälk as well. On the other hand - her live performance in the final would have been quite questionable anyway, sooo ...
All together, easily predictable SF with some minor changes. Let's see what Saturday's SF2 will bring
At this point, still my overall favorite - MAIAN

 

[Franco]

Yassssss

Bless her! It's not enough that she has a fantastic voice. She also has catwoman-like reflexes. I stan her.

 

[ollibox]

they showed rehearsal footage on etv2 and she was supposed to be lowered

I watched that, too. It seems that Elina didn't fall hard, instead she was left hanging too high for the moment. That's what messed things up. Great recovery performance wise though.

 

[Ana Raquel]

Merilin

I'm glad Elina was able to qualify even with the technical issue. I hope she goes for a safer staging in the final.

PS! A very special highlight of the evening - CAATER! Some (more mature) Estonian audience might have felt that as well, I hope

 

[laululind]

If Ott should win, I hope he does something about his facial expressions. He looks quite comical on stage, which doesn't really fit the emotional serious ballad he's got going on! I don't recall this being an issue with Kuula. He hammed it up a little back then too, but not to this level. Of course if he starts to focus on not pulling silly faces, his vocals will probably suffer as a result. Maybe it was just semi-final nerves and he'll be more relaxed & natural next week! Today he looked like a slightly deranged deer in headlights.

 

[goncalovieira]

Ott all the way!
Estonian is such a beautiful language.
