Estonia ESTONIA 2014 - Tanja - Amazing

[eerik]

Ranking all the songs is pretty difficult. Overall level is quite even. I guess my favourite at the moment is Traffic. Bottom three is Sofia Rubina, Tanja and Sandra Nurmsalu. The rest are somewhere in the middle.

I love Sandra Nurmsalu's new song, it's really catchy and beautiful, sounds very ethereal and could make a great stage show!

Glad to see she's winning that poll, hope Estonia chooses her again.

Traffic made a music video for their entry:

That's the worst kind of music video. Just the band standing still in a boring location and performing. Little to no effort. Still my favourite entry 'tho.


Music video for Norman Salumäe's entry should be coming later this week by the way.

Kuule eerik, tõmba tuure maha, ära tee häbi eestlastele siin. Vastik vaadata, lugeda.

I'm afraid that's your problem, not mine.

(Translation for non-Estonians: Listen eerik, turn it down, do not embarrass Estonians over here. It's disgusting to watch, read.)


There's this anecdote we Estonians have about ourselves:
An American, a Japanese and an Estonian are standing in front of an elephant.
The American thinks: "I wonder how much the elephant is worth if I would sell it."
The Japanease thinks: "I wonder how the elephant is built."
And then the shy and blushing Estonian thinks: "Oh gee, I wonder what the elephant thinks of me."

I've been listening to Supernoova all day and I love it. It just feels like I'm sitting in a cloud going up and it's just so lax, I'd love to know what it all means. Such a good song.

Hope to see some magical performance from Estonia in year 2014

No, I'm eerik on that .net forum but don't post there that often. And sanka is also a member of this forum over here.

Does anybody know symbolism of Estonian flag colors? I always wondered that, cause it's quite unusual and strange combination..I like it..

There isn't any "official" description for the meanings, but this is what I see everyday at this time of the year (i.e. winter): clear blue sky (especially with anticyclone), dark black forest, fields covered with white snow.

I think this description has become more popular in the last few years. I remember when I went to school in the 90s, blue was for sea and sky, black was for land and soil, white was for pureness and hope for a better future.

Are Estonians by nature quite self-conscious then? Or is there another meaning to it?

You could call it self-consciousness but I'd say it's part of our slave mentality, trying to please everyone else. Being constantly worried about what others think of you can also be a sign of depression and Estonians are a pretty depressive people.

Gave 12 to Brigita.

Lenna is leading the poll ! Best Song of the Eesti Laul 2014 - Eurovisioon.ee

Sandra has 80 12 points to Lenna's 21 on that poll, so that comforts me even if she's no longer leading overall.

 

[henhu]

Sandra leading again
I wouldn't take this poll very seriously, Wilhelm shared this link in their facebook page and they have got 69*12 points since then.

@ eerik

[exciter]
