I am actually shocked that everybody in Lithuanian media talk that Tanja is Loreen copy and we should be ashamed.
If even Lithuanian people say so, then it is quite depressing. Lietuva, Latvija, Estija
I have already lost interest in Eurovision 2014. We might get 0 points this year xcry1

I see final for :ee:, mostly because of the dancing.

That is a very big problem if even our baltic neighbours think that it is plagiarism. LIKE WTF. It really hurts xcry1
Okay, Latvians hate this song to because of plagiarism. See you in Eurovision 2015, hopefully we choose a song which doesn't get into plagiarism scandals.

C'me on ! That :lt: website is just jealous because Tanja is waaaay better than "Attention"...

What does :ee: have in semifinal :
-:lv: neighbour : votes expected
-:ru: block (:ru::ua::az::am::md:) = Time to raise the russian roots of Tanja and some common past or actua friendship = Votes expected
-:dk::se::is: = match some scandinavian likes = votes expected
-:hu: usually votes for you
-:me::al: can like it
-Western countries :be::nl::pt::fr::es::sm: may like it as well + for instance we usually vote Estonia. And I'll be behind my telephone :twisted:

So... you must be confident ! xyes

Of course they are jealous. There are nobody else in Baltic states who can dance AND sing like Tanja!
But still, I can't understand why everybody are comparing it with ''Euphoria''. They are so different!!! ''Amazing'' has never reminded me ''Euphoria''. I think it is a stupid hate and everybody are scared that we will win again in Denmark (I know that it is a difficult topic especially for danes, 2nd place @home and Estonia's unexpected win).
But at least Latvian comments made me laugh, they still think they sent a masterpiece.
I wish that ''Amazing'' had a better camerawork in Eesti laul. It will be uploaded to Eurovision offical youtube page :(

I don't understand the talk of this not making the final. Tanja can sing and dance very well, Estonia has a couple of friends in their semi and the song is one of the strongest chosen so far. I have already listened to this more than any of the other entries except Hungary. And it rips-off Euphoria no more than Italy's entry rips off 'My Favourite Game' by The Cardigans - they are the same style and have some parts that sound similar but that is all.

Well this I can assure it's not my case :lol: I don't think this stands a chace to win. Sure Tanja can dance and sing (and quite well! the fact that she can pull off the singing with all that dancing is remarkable) but the song IMO is really bland. And the comparisons with Euphoria are not that strange I think: an entry that stands out for an usual coreography, and it's also just two people. It's not that the songs sound the same, but it feels like there's the same idea behind it.

btw :lt: has the best Baltic entry so they have no reasons to be jealous :twisted: (matter of taste, I know!)

She's really pretty and almost could look a bit like a Russian Polly Scattergood (at least that's what I thought whilst watching her NF performance).. but the whole thing just comes across as too desperate for me. The fact I really don't like this kind of music to begin with, she was always going to have an uphill struggle with winning me around. To be honest, I think the performance of the song is embarrassing and incredibly tacky. Just a really hot mess. It's something I could possibly enjoy but for all the wrong reasons.

I think Sofi Marinova had the best dance song and performance of recent times. She just stood there and owned it, had so much charisma. "Love Unlimited" had a more enjoyable structure to it as well.

I am Estonian and I'm happy that we chose this song. No, it's not a masterpiece, no it's not the most original song and performance in the world. But the accusations of copying are really too harsh. Maybe the idea is similar yes, and maybe she got inspiration.. Which I can see, because she did both Loreen's "Euphoria" and Pink's "Try" in Estonia's version of the TV show Your Face Sounds Familiar. But saying it's plagiarism is really too much, because the performances aren't really that similar at all.
I voted for Lenna in the final, but I'm happy with Tanja. She's wonderful, an excellent singer and dancer and I think she can handle Eurovision well. Also.. I know people are bummed about Sandra, but I really didn't like the idea of Sandra winning again. Why send someone who's already been, that's boring. I would rather send someone who hasn't and who is deeply happy about winning, aka Tanja.
And at least it's not a ballad again.. Something different, finally. I love the dance a lot and it's just really great and nice to watch.. And the performance and song just leave me with a really good feeling. When I like something, I just like it.. There's no overthinking it, and more people should be like that. But yes, the song is worse, yet the dancing is a lot better than Loreen's, if people want to compare so much. But that's just my opinion.
So yeah.. I knew that this song was going to get a lot of accusations and unfair hate before it even won, but I hope people will calm down.. at least until the live shows. And I'm actually really interested to see how much and what they change for the live shows and how it will play out.
