ESTONIA 2012 - Ott Lepland - Kuula

[ParadiseES]

I found this quite boring after the first listening, but this song is between the growers for me. It's still a bit boring, but it has come cuteness. I think the juries will like this, but Estonia has a pretty hard job in such a tough semi...

 

[Varpushaukka]

Lets bore Europe to death together. Go, Estonia, go! ...no, it's a beautiful song, a little boring perhaps but there is something in it. 10 points from me & good luck from Finland!

 

[PoppySnuggleGlass]

It's alright, not terrible, but not mind blowing either. Nevertheless, probably one of the better ballads so far!

He certainly has the most expressive eyebrows in the competition though. I couldn't keep my eyes of 'em!

I'm not even sure if the juries will focus on this song in a semi-final full of ballads, which is a shame.

 

[katapult]

If this one fails to qualify, I'll kill myself - and afterwards the juries! SOOC

But indeed, 2nd semi is really tough, unfortunately...

 

[Davion]

I don't understand a word, but I LOVE it!
Love the feeling, hope it qualifies and does well in the finals. Best of luck!

 

[Grinch]

I don't hate this song anymore. In fact, I "might" even be enjoying the chorus.

Wow, this video is really breath taking.
I love new version of that song.

I honestly didn't expect any video from us, but I'm glad Ott did it. I love it ! =)

 

[RainyWoods]

I didnt properly give this song a chance until now and I must say, it's actually quite lovely. Beautifully sung, emotional ballad. Some parts are abit typical and I think it could have done without the band kicking in. The strings throughout are stunning though. Very Antony and the Johnsons in parts. Gives me chills. Ill give this 10 points.

Why is it a new version?

 

[Gerly]

Why is it a new version?

There is an orchestra added. Or its more louder than before. Anyway this is a bit different than before =) I think, that's what you meant...no?

 

[eerik]

The new arrangement is much better in my opinion. The build up is much longer, it starts with only piano, then the strings come in, then quiet drums and the climax doesn't kick in until the last 50 seconds. Love it!

I'm officially in love with this song now, just for the record.
Stupid me voted 7 points after first listening, I would like to change this into a 12.


Great song!
Go Ott!

 

[Matt]

Simple video but I like it that way, Estonia I hope to see you in the Top 5 this year.

 

[Marie Jane]

Wow, this version is even better! I'm gonna vote so much for Estonia.

 

[r3gg13]

I change my mind on this one. What a wonderful and strong ballad.

 

[Mozz]

Since Italy changed their entry into another song for Nina Zilli last week, Kuula is my top favorite this year (it was my number two, behind Per Sempre). It's a song I would definitely vote for in May.

But now Italy may go back to Per Sempre, and now I don't know who to pick as my number one.

Ughhhh, such a dilemma.

I didn't notice until now it was digitally released on January 25 (4:19 minutes version).

The cover is gorgeous. The piano idea is so nice, since it's a piano ballad.
