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

I like Stefan, he clearly wanted this for a while and deserved it, and it's nice to again actually have a song that's has been received fairly positively, including internationally; while it's not the most original or my biggest fave it does have a positive, relatable message (and if anything is more authentic than those Avicii or whatever songs it's being compared to), is surprisingly catchy and an entry we can be proud of.

I don't care for the song but this was the best possible results considering Elina was chanceless. Stefan is so adorable and I'm happy for him.

estonians are allergic to talent, hopefully she comes back with something stronger again in the future

6 for the song +1 for his smile =

 

[Mrm]

Now when I stop being too sad and when it sattels down a bit, I can say it is not bad, I will give it in the poll, it has charm..but not gonna be among my huge faves..

 

[harey]

8 points just because Stefan.

 

[Gera11]

Lovely winner, I feel like I should like this a lot more but something keeps me from jumping on the hype train, still great though!

 

[Kairit]

Best winning speech 2022. He talked long about how he couldn't sleep last night, because he kept thinking about this moment but couldn't think of what to say if he were to win. "...So I went downstairs and poured myself a small glass, and another, and another.... Then everything got really fun. And then I finished one of my TV shows. Went to sleep at 4 a.m. But I am really happy I woke up today." and then he thanks people lol

 

[Stargazer]

Wow, I love it. Great voice and the Western vibe is just *chefs kiss*.

 

[Mainshow]

I guess - it´s basic and sounds like 2013 but I prefer this to "Heroes", at least.

This will definitely qualify - probably even finishing Top 5 in the semi - it´s pretty instant, catchy and appeals to juries and straight viewers alike.

 

[Fluke]

Just, why are Estonia so weak lately? They just keep sending the same type of artists with worthless songs.... next please!

 

[Franzilein]

Oh my, already know my mom will love this. Great choice Eesti.

 

[Ana Raquel]

he makes a song i should absolutely hate bearable and he is adorablyhot so I have a soft heart for it

because this is no Laura but I hope he does better than *k* at least!

 

[Leydan]

Actually really like this strangely enough, not usually my type but I think it's such a unique and interesting vibe and I love the way he performs it. Good choice Estonia.

 

[marty]

In my eyes this is the strongest entry of the baltic countries. I give 7 points.

 

[ag89]

I don't like this staging concept. I know it goes with the song...But I don't like it at all. Otherwise, the song is decent.

 

[Zeus]

Mans Zelmerlow meets The Common Linnets.

Not really creative or unique enough for my taste, but it's a decent song. I can see a path for this. Could appeal to both juries and televoters. Final and top 10 seems possible if you ask me.

 

[ollibox]

I don't like this staging concept. I know it goes with the song...But I don't like it at all. Otherwise, the song is decent.

I bet the will improve the staging somehow. Stefan promised to bring horses on the stage, but we all know it's not allowed
These two cowboys on the stage were totally pointless like that. More action, please!

 

[mauve]

I think that the song sounds cheap and I don't like the staging either. 6 pts.
