Estonia ESTONIA 2014 - Tanja - Amazing

[eerik]

The Poll is from Postimees online ("Who should go to the ESC?")

I am a bit afraid, I must say.

Wow, great to see SHCBB having such strong support. At least in one poll. I can already imagine superfinal between them and Traffic.

Please ! We shouldn't create a "Leto Svet" out of "Maybe maybe". I truly hate those trolling acts in such beautiful preselection.

 

[eerik]

Okay, I must admit something. After watching the incredibly dull Latvian national final for three hours, I don't mind Sandra winning Eesti Laul this year and I could find enought heart in myself to support her for ESC. Dziesma 2014 really lowered my standards and expectations. Her song is still far from being my favourite but the live version is much better and if they manage to improve their stage act, it's all fine by me.

Well, has move on since the Tii-Leto Svet period. , not
Obviously doesn't play in the same division as its neighbours...

FTW !

 

[Joni]

Yep, the difference between these two countries' NFs is just... well, big.

I am actually not so positive that Sandra will win anymore. I actually think that Super Hot Cosmos Blues Band will win it unless juries kill it.
This is like leto svet - very good feedback (the best feedback from all songs) from Estonians and bad feedback from foreigners. Well, if they win, they promised to make a nude party/live in Anu Saagim's bed(room) But as promised, I try to be neutral now.

 

[eerik]

Maybe-maybe is nothing like Leto Svet, at all.

The creation and selection of Leto Svet was a result of six consecutive bad results at ESC, Juhan Paadam's (producer of Eurolaul 1998-2008) cluelessness and desperation, and overall disappointment of general audience. It reflects the mentality of a certain period in our ESC history. I don't think anybody actually thought it was a good song. It was more about "that will show them what we think of ESC" attitude.

Maybe-maybe on the other hand is something that people actually like and listen to.

I agree, but seems that foreigners don't like Maybe-Maybe for some reason.

True, we hate that those songs steal rank from great songs. Ice-cold story was one of the robbed songs, as an example. This holds for every preselection.
I know how it feels to insult and attack these trolling songs because I've watched many preselections since 2010 and also know the reactions from ESC-fans very well.
The position of SHCBB is controversial. For local audience, it is something to be appreciated and worth watching. For me and foreign audience, it stole the rank from any of the eliminated acts. Personally I voted for Vöörad, State of Zoe and NimmerSchmidt. Any of their qualifying would be amazing for me (it'd be also great if The Titles or August Hunt qualified). But this song came out and ruined everything.
We all know that the dark phase of Estonia in ESC (From "Tii" to "Leto Svet") is over after Heidy Purga took over everything and thus I think that Daniel Levi's song should have been selected to semi-finals instead of Maybe-maybe.

Is there any chance that one half of Estonia could declare independence from the other half before May? That way both Traffic and Lenna can go to Copenhagen! Seriously I can't decided which one I want to win, but I know that I'll be both upset and delighted if one of them wins because that means that the other loses.

 

[Mickey]

No. Eurovision fans brought up on a diet of Melodifestivalen don't like it. There'll be plenty of foreigners who like it as much as I do.

 

[Joni]

Quite surprising that maybe-maybe is so popular in that poll. What is the situation now, I cant find the link?

 

[henhu]

I can't find that Postimees.ee poll anymore, but here is Delfi.ee poll

 

[Joni]

Well with 2152 voters that seems pretty clear.

 

[Mrm]

@ Estonians

And how do you think jury will vote in the final?

 

[henhu]

Very unpredictable, because this year televotes and juries pretty much agreed in semis so I don't know what are juries going for.

 

[Sean]

Oh my god, Maybe-Maybe is such a JOKE! They're using guitars to make music that isn't pop or a ballad, I mean what the fuck?

@ Estonians

And how do you think jury will vote in the final?

No idea. Depends on who are in the jury.
