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

[Iker]

I am disappointed that Maian did not Q for the Final as her song was my favourite here but Stefan with Hope would make a very good entry. I didn't watch this SF live unlike the SF1.

 

[Iker]

The backing vocals on "Champions" are magnificent

It does not matter much when the song is a cliched & bland nightmare for me.

 

[Realest]

Stefan.

I rank the final of Eesti Laul 2022 like this:

1. Ott Lepland 10-/10
2. Sahlene 10/10
3. Minimal Wind feat. Elisabeth Tiffany 10/10
4. Jaagup Tuisk 9/10
5. Stefan 8/10
6. Black Velvet 7/10
7. Elysa 5/10
8. Andrei Zevakin feat. Grete Paia 4/10
9. Stig Rasta 2/10
10. Elina Nechayeva 1/10

 

[mauve]

Ott Lepland please.

 

[lasse braun]

without waterfall there is no true final for me - last hope is elina but no real chance there for her,think so.

 

[ollibox]

Well, quite surprising (and bit sad) SF2 for me... Predicted only 2 of 5 - STEFAN and ANNA SAHLENE.
Truly sad for MAIAN, JYRISE and PUR MUDD. Especially MAIAN - my overall fav from the beginning. But I can understand the reason - the staging was crazy-weak and the public vote didn't back her because of that unfortunately.
Black Velvet and Minimal Wind are the biggest random qualifiers ever IMO. But I'm not sad because of that - I really like them both (although, neither of them are a contender for ESC Final).
Anyway, that's how life goes... From now on it's STEFAN all the way for me I think he has the best chance to score a good place for us in Torino.
Let's see who is going to be on top in the final on 12th. Will check it out personally on site - tickets already in my pocket

 

[lasse braun]

lasse is still in very sad and angry mood!
this song and stage presentation was a mile above all other and the jury is blind?
evelin was in the wrong country yesterday!
melo semi 1 with this pearl should have been better.

 

[Realest]

Is Sahlenes Backgroundsinger one of the Mamas?

 

[Looren]

Is Sahlenes Backgroundsinger one of the Mamas?

I thought the same, but she was one of John's 4 backing vocalist, not a member of the trio

 

[Looren]

My ranking for the final :

1. Stefan - Hope (10/10)
2. Ott Lepland - Aovalguses (10/10)
3. Elina Nechayeva - Remedy (10/10) need a better staging tho
4. Anna Sahlene - Champion (10/10)
5. Jaagup Tuisk - Kui Vaad (10/10)
6. Andrei Zevakin & Grete Paia - Mis Nuud Saab (10/10)
7. Elysa - Fire (10/10)
8. Stig Rasta - Interstellar (7/10)
9. Black Velvet - Sandra (7/10)
10. Minimal Wind ft Elisabeth Steffany - What To Make Of This (4/10)

 

[Bmbriga]

Only one out of original 4 songs from my top 5 made it, Hope. But since I replaced "Golden Shores" with "Sandra" during the show it makes it 2.
"Plaksuta" and "Meeletu" didn't make it, which makes me a bit sad since "Meeletu" was actually my favourite from audios, but I can live that.
What I can't live with is "Champion".

 

[NikolaiMoller]

oh wow, she really elevated this song live. I didn't really like the studio version, but live it became soooo eurovision and the vocals are amazing

 

[Realest]

Stefan - Hope 9.5/10
Elisa - Fire 8.7/10
Stig Rästa 8.5/10
Andrei Zevakin feat. Grete Paia - Mis nüüd saab 6.6/10

Ott Lepland - Aovalguses 5.8/10

[Looren]

Yeah so Elina is dead

GOOOO STEFAN

 

[alyrin]

Yeah so Elina is dead

this was a poor choice of wording

 

[lavieenrose]

this was a poor choice of wording

Same vibe

Wonder if we're going to get any local polls this year. Only 5 days left until the final! They're usually a pretty good indicator of our televoters preferences.. guess it's going to be more of a surprise this year. I'm starting to wonder about Ott's chances. People don't seem all that impressed with him, seeing more critique than anything. That said, his main audience is probably older people so he might still do better than online feedback suggests. Sahlene seems liked by many, so I wouldn't be shocked to see her do better than Ott. I'd currently guess the top 3 in the final will be Stefan, Sahlene and either Elina or Ott. Also possible, if Ott/Elina are only 3rd and 4th in televotes, that jury will push someone like Jaagup up instead. It's been a while since we had so many potential contenders they won't all fit in the superfinal, last few years it's been one or two at most.
