ESTONIA 2011 - Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street

[paulgr]

Siren (2010) and Urban Symphony (2009) were my favourites... but this year i did not like this song

Well, i guess whenever a country puts in something refering to the 'american dream', Europe rightly bump this country in the head...

Next year please continue with wonderful songs like 2009 and 2010 :-)

 

[escandesc]

I am not surprised 'cause I don't like the song. I am happy with this result. This song deserved it. I hope you will send a song like your 2009 entry.

Oh, they won't?

No, they'd be much more useful as slaves.

 

[Starmania]

I voted 10 times , shame we and rest of the Europe was about to make it last place, shame !

 

[Adeline]

I didn't expect this song to end so low, because it was a favourite to win. Not that I'm sad about it, cause it was not one of my own favourites.

 

[Hegepege]

I think this was probably the worst entry this year. A horrible Powerpuffgirl-wannabe with screezchy voice and a bad song. Most positive thing I can say about her is that she can count. Maybe next year she can come back and sing the alphabet song?

 

[Narmina]

2nd last? OMG! Didn't expected it at all!

I saw a video of Getter - she looked really happy! Omg, I'm so proud of her.

Like Sven Lõhmus, the author of the song, said: "Where else can you find an artist who has lived with the burden of being a favorite, gets almost the last place and is still completely happy?"

Getter is truly phenomenal.

I'm sad that Estonia ended like it did. But I don't care, I love the song and I'm listening to it over and over. Screw the voting, the song is awesome. Estonians like it, I like it and probably many people around Europe like it.

I think we did super, we finally got through to the final. Heidy Purga told, because we did so great, Estonia probably participates next year.

We did it already two years ago with Rändajad, we even came sixth in the final.

 

[californiadreaming]

Well, yeah, Rändajad i know, but still. We didn't do well in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and in 2010. This year we were great, even though we didn't get many points in the final and 24 out of 43 isn't that bad.

By the way, Estonia 2012 topic is over here: http://www.esctodayforum.com/showthread.php?5653-ESTONIA-2012

In my opinion Estonia has always been great. You guys gave ESC really beautiful songs back in the 90s - they were much better than the 2001 winning song. I still can't believe how come you didn't make it in 2004 to the finals. The only big flop that I remember was the 2008 one...
Still, Estonia is the greatest country in the ESC, hope you'll never stop participating

 

[Quent91]

I really like the song and it didn't deserve a bottom 5 !

 

[eerik]

I think many Estonians are disappointed with the results because local media talked about our chances only in a very positive tone and over-hyped it. People had false expectations. But we'll get over it and I doubt well withdraw from Eurovision any time soon. It was a lot more disappointing when we did not qualify for the final five years in a row. After that we did some big changes, new people were put in charge and bang! Sixth place in 2009.

 

[Rubine]

Estonia's entry was and still is my favorite song this eurovision 2011!!

 

[inak]

I'm shocked at how badly this did. I guess it was due to the performance, which did lack the energy and compactness of the national final, but also the draw - it seems it got lost among a group of back-to-back entries that all went for the contemporary chart pop approach. Add to this the fact that Estonia never seems to benefit much from bloc voting, and that the gay vote went to the ''cutest'' of the bunch. But still- sad face.

After I saw her performance, I knew this has no chance to win, but never thought it will be 2nd last
