Estonia ESTONIA 2014 - Tanja - Amazing

^ oh that explains "me olemme"... too bad they don't have a better song... :/

 

[eerik]

Sounds like a normal "meie oleme" to me. I wouldn't suspect he's not Estonian if I didn't know.

 

[Joni]

Oh ok, "we are" must sound very similar in Finnish and Estonian then.

Obviously.

we = me or meie (more formal)
are = oleme

It was just recently that I learned that Lenna was the singer of Vanilla Ninja that represented Switzerland back in 2005. That song really rocked! But why didn't the band represent Estonia?

And what is this pic of her?

When they tried to represent us in 2003, then they won televoting, but with eurolaul 2003 rules, international jury decided the winner...
And in 2007 with only televoting, they didn't do well in televoting

And this picture, I think it was for charity

William Hill has Lenna at 5/6 to win the Semi! Great signs for the final!

 

[Joni]

btw, they announce the qualifiers in random order, right?

 

[Joni]

One of my all-time ESC favorites this one, this longer studio version is even better than the ESC version.

 

[henhu]

btw, they announce the qualifiers in random order, right?

Yes, in random order.

I've listened to all Estonian songs and I have a feeling it won't be too hard for Sandra Nurmsalu to win.

Tanja severely hurt her ribs area in a rehearsal, doctors suggested her to stay at home, used painkillers during the recording session. Said she's always a bit nervous whether it is a big or small gig, thinks it's normal.

Tuuli from VÖÖRAD thinks they have the biggest stageshow in the first semi. Her birthday is on the day of the final (1st March) so she hopes to be on the final stage then.

Super Hot Cosmos Blues Band guys said they were full of adrenaline. Lenna Kuurmaa from Lenna said they are her personal favourites.

Lenna went with the casual and natural everyday look, no costume drama. Their drummer thought everything went perfectly on stage and the crowd was awesome.

Lyrics for NimmerSchmidt's Sandra are based on a blog post where two teenagers described their love, they thought it was cool and made it into a song.

August Hunt were granted a second performance recording, they messed up the sound in their first attempt.

(The Titles interview was in English so you'll understand it yourself)

State of Zoe has done a lot of homework and worked on many details.

Wilhelm hopes to differentiate with their naturality.

Kõrsikud said everything was super and it was their best performance so far.

 

[henhu]

State of Zoe has really impressed me. I hope they could qualify tomorrow, but in this semi there is more deserved qualifies than spots to the final... Tanja's show is really amazing! Wilhelm sounded really good too.

 

[eerik]

I'm in the small minority who likes The Titles' song but their live sounded so poor in that clip.

I don't like Tanja's song but her live performance seemed to be great, especially considering the choreography and her injury.

 

[EscGeek]

can you send this to eurovision please?

 

[eerik]

No, but thanks for asking.

 

[hunty73]
