ESTONIA 2012 - Ott Lepland - Kuula

[bubblingtrue]

Maybe...

Well, many artists that usually sings in their native languages, have sung in English in ESC so that's no real comfort. I hope and believe you're right though

ditto ...I hope it stays in Estonian

In my opinion this lacks power. It's ok, but that's all. When I listen the song, I'm waiting all the time for a stronger part, but then the song is all the same from the beginning till the end.

Exactly my thought. It looks a pretty good song, but it lacks of that strength a ballad needs to break. However, it's a good effort from Estonia and something very different than previous years
We'll see how this works in Baku. 5 points for now

At first it was meh, but like many entries this year, I listened to it again and holy crap it's good!!! I don't know what you people are talking about saying the song stays flat. It doesn't get TOO intense, but the intensity of the chorus increases as the song progresses... I really hope this does well.

the beginning is great but in time it becomes a bit less great (still good tho)

You can hope for points from Cyprus, there are a lot of women with name Koula, and they'll be happy to hear a song calling their name!

Somehow, Estonians tend me let me down kinda often. I remember my shock when they sent Sandra Oxenryd back in 2006. And I was rooting for "Iseendale" and Eda-Ines Etti.

That year it was the international jury who chose Sandra Oxenryd. I'm sure most of Estonians were pissed.

Ah, Koula!!!!

Koula m'akous? Poly kolopaido o Kyriakos!!!


Sorry for the greek(lish). I referred to some phrases that include the "popular" greek name Koula!!

i Love his voice. I think this song is very intimate, and i really dont need to understand the lyrics to feel it. I like it in estonian, so i hope they doesn´t change the language. 10 points from me.

Add me to the "pissed off" group!!! :twisted:

Ines was totally robbed that year, great song, instead this Swedish nonsense song was chosen (well I'm Swedish and not all Swedish songs are bad, but that one was one of those bad clichéd ones).

2005-2008 is the dark era which we should not discuss.

No offense, but apart from a couple of stand-outs, I think Estonia has been lacking from 00's-

I liked 2000, 2002, 2009 and to some extent 2004 & 2010, contrary to the 90's when you were one of my favorite ESC countries.

Oh well, this year is good!

'Through my window' is not so bad. I kinda like

Truth be told (and this might actually sound weird), it was because "Iseendale" and "Rändajad" that I fell in love with Estonian language. And Estonia as well. I was almost this close to start learning it (on my own, of course), but then I realized that Estonian has way too complicated grammar. I mean, come on - 14 cases?! ESTONIAN, Y U SO DIFFICULT?!

 

[Knubelznarm]

OMFG! :shock:
The jury was an absolute disaster! I sooooooo disagree with them.. And what are they supposed to be?? So-called professionals? 3

Jury were perfectly fine, they gave Liis Lemsalu a 10 in the first semi and Lenna a 10 in the second semi, i guess that says a lot about their professionalism.
Estonia had a gem like Liis Lemsalu and they picked Kuula, i hope there will be not too many complains when it doesn't qualify :?
