ESTONIA 2012 - Ott Lepland - Kuula

[Terence]

I had this as a qualifier, but I've got a bad feeling this will be #11 tonight!

HOPE NOT Go Ott, Kuula them all!

By the way, kuula sounds like 'kulha' in Maltese (meaning eat her/eat it)

 

[ParadiseES]

wow! The Spanish version is very good! It's a quite good translation and Ott even has (European) Spanish accent

BTW I've just read on Facebook (uh oh oh) that Ott didn't have a good general rehearsal. I hope it's wrong, cause I think juries are your hope. Oh, and good luck tonight!

Now I'm afraid we won't qualify. Ott kept it cool for two months, said he was going to just perform the song as it was written, plain and simple. He said he will remain himself. But now, just few days ago he started messing with his voice during the rehearsals and live performances. His games totally ruin the consistency and build-up of the song. He wants to sound more powerful than he really is. He did it in the jury rehearsal and says he will do it again tonight. Such hackery can not be tolerated. I feel disappointed and frustrated.

 

[Mozz]

Last night I was a bit speechless as I saw that Ott chose the 2nd rehearsal version to perform for the juries.
But sometimes you have to let things happen. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't .

 

[Sandri]

I think he will be in the final, one of the better ballads...

 

[Terence]

I know, I'm frustrated that he changed his style of singing for the jury final. I admire his 'bravery' to try something different, but from the clip I watched, I didn't quite like the way he sand

 

[Starmania]

Should sing it plain, no messing up please. I'm really sad for Tenfold Rabbit now, and we should be ready for who should've/could've won talks

 

[ParadiseES]

Then I'm afraid he'll probably not qualify...

[Sim]

Good luck Estonia!

sure qualifier, one of the best ballads this year

 

[katapult]

...Mmh, what can I say. :?

I love this song - and I just hope that Ott won't ruin his own performance with too many too risky vocal gimmicks tonight.
I'm actually a bit worried, as he seems to be a bit overenergetic/overambitious, atm...
Houston..? xsos I really hope, we won't have a problem tonight.
Someone should tell him to kuul down a bit and get back to the original feeling & message of his song..

Anyway: Fingers crossed, Eesti!
I so wish this song to qualify, please!!!

 

[Laktatjakka]

Amazing performance ! Such a voice ! Very good-looking guy... The big revelation of this semi-final ! And an extra plus for the good thing that he sings in his national language, and not in English !

 

[Juliette]

Congratulations! It was surprisingly great!

 

[Gerly]

I soo hope for a great number now. That is what we need.

 

[Matt]

I loved this song but HATED the new arrangement

 

[Quent91]

I'm glad he went through ! I think he got helped by the juries

 

[Terence]

I loved this song but HATED the new arrangement

I completely agree - he turned it into a theatrical showcase of his vocal abilities.

Still, it got my vote tonight.

Yeah, I still love it but it's no longer My Number 2, at least not the live performance. No doubt that he can sing but I suppose all I can say is that sometimes less is more.

Totally agree, that was just TOO over the top vocal show-off and took away from the actually melody... he did the same mistake as in the Ukrainian case.. we GET IT.. you CAN sing.. but try to stay true to the song still?

Congrats Estonia, personally I'm not really sold on this however... not in comparison to many others.

 

[Cooler]

I was amazed. Literally amazed.
His voice was great, I could feel the emotion, the music is really super, and he looked extremly sweet and hot too. Go Ott!
