ESTONIA 2011 - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street

[Meseder]

In the end it's about taste, I never said that having something "simple" and more poppy is something bad, but I just can't find myself liking this song and that's just it.

Also my main reaction is people making this song look like something it is not. It is not very modern or unique, it's just a simple pop-dance tune and that's it.

As for Aqua Lene it's more the tone of her voice than if she can sing or not I mean, that's also a matter of taste and opinion.

One thing do: Do not put that MASTERPIECE Urban Symphony send next to this plastic stuff, and Urban Symphony was not "just a ballad", it was a unique mystic ethnic song.. by far not your everyday Eurovision ballad. And why using Urban Symphony as a bad example? It gave Estonia one of its best position ever in this contest.

A absolutely agree that "Rändajad" is an amazing song, but I simply brought it up as an example how almost perfect songs like this are not good enough to win. Still, 6th place was a very good achievement. I think we all know that "Rockefeller Street" is a completely different song and it's not supposed to be all serious and meaningful. Sven Lõhmus, the author of both "Rändajad" and "Rockefeller Street", knows this and that's how it works. Keep it fresh, keep it new, don't do the same thing all over again, try something else. We're not as stupid or shallow here as it may seem...

I believe that with a better performance this song could even win... But its performance is a mess!

We're next to sweden in final. It may kill our chances

Why? If we were on another position, it wouldn't matter, because the chances would still be the same.

For me it's the opposite. I've criticised this song before, but the semi final performance totally won me over.

This was the song I first stuck on for this ESC!Good luck Getter

That was quite a shocker

 

[VedatiNet]

I just knew it. Congrats Estonia. You deserved it

 

[californiadreaming]

Well.. that was a surprise. But still, our win is that we did our best and got through to the final, Getter and her team did a great job. Maybe next year is better.

 

[Earthland]

It was easily the worst shock of the night. I'd like to see how many people (except A-Lister) would actually say that Moldova, Spain, Italy, Lithuania and Serbia were better than Estonia?

I'm so proud of Getter. She was really amazing.

Oh, and I think Estonia should take a few years off.

 

[r3gg13]

^It was a total shocker, but don't be discouraged!

 

[Margerita86]

I wouldn't say that Moldova, Spain, Italy, Lithuania and Serbia were better than Estonia, but for some reason I never really could get into Rockerfeller Street. Don't really know why, I just never could.

 

[Kristi]

OMG the biggest shock of the night.. my #2 why Estonia ?What went wrong???Everything seemed so perfect

 

[Sahistul]

It's a disaster for Estonia. A nice song, nice interpretation...ok..maybe not a top 10, but 24? Wtf......i would understand them if they retire..
