Estonia ESTONIA 2016 - Jüri Pootsmann - Play

[ayzelto]

That's my biggest grower this year

IMO Estonia has (along with Hungary) the most overrated song of 2016. I don't enjoy it at all.

Overrated by who? He is standing in 28th place according to Oddschecker between Belgium and Denmark , no points in first 4 OGAE votes. Hungary is 18th in odds. I do not think these are overrated songs both of them can be top 15 or flop in semi (I really hope not). You should look for other entries which are really overrated. I wont give any tips.

By fans They are in almost every Top 15 in youtube I have found
But you are right to point out they are not doing well on oddschecker. IMO thats surprising considering how big support both of the entries have.

Its got quite a lot of fans yes including me, I suppose theres a few people who have connected with this entry and also a fair few who haven't so I would say its like every other song really because every entry has likes and dislikes from people.

This song oozes class and sex in a strange and very unusual combination but quite reasonably and wisely balanced. It might come to be the biggest surprise in May, shocker style.
Totally mesmerizing.

This song just lacks anything special at all for me, and to be honest it really struggles to hold my attention for the whole three minutes. Hopefully Estonia won't be stealing a spot in the final off a more deserving song.

 

[carl1]

Great draw for us I think. I can see us qualifying

 

[SwissKung]

Even though the song is in my top 10, I wouldn't be surprised nor sad if it doesn't qualify to the final since Estonia had so many (well, 6 in my opinion) betters songs in Eesti Laul. That would teach them a lesson for not choosing something more alternative/indie.

Mick Pedaja or I Wear* Experiment would have easily made into the top 10 1

 

[grazy2266]

Not really my type of song, never seems to really get going. I'm afraid it's not in my top 10 this year or even my top 20

When you're going against the Queen of Taiwan with your song title, your song had better be amazing. This, however, is George Ezra-styled meh.

Nice try Jüri, but Jolin 'plays' better than you. xox

 

[megzpegz]

George Ezra♥

 

[RomanFromRussia]

After all the performances of Juri "Play" grew on me a lot. From 22nd it has climbed up to 7th and has all the chances to get higher.

Mart Normet, our head of delegation and producer of Eesti Laul, has already kind of confirmed/announced that Eesti Laul 2017 is happening. (Surprise-surprise!)

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Hey guys, do you remember when Estonia used to be daring and innovative in ESC and sent real, mainstream songs which existed outside the ESC-bubble such as "Amazing" and "Et uus saaks alguse"? Those were the good old times... this year instead the same country gave up by sending a fanwank... an overrated sh*t which exists only to cater for the wish of the fanboys... really sad.

 

[megzpegz]

Yawn.

 

[Uvaro]

remember when someone didn't feel the need to go on and on about how male singers are obviously just picked for the fanboys and the scourge of eurovision and the end of europe as we know it in every thread imaginable? there's nothing wrong with disliking a song, but branding everything you don't like by a certain demographic an overrated fanwank just seems petty.

It's him. Just him.

i know, and it's insufferable.

 

[Euterpa]

Haha. I just love these people who just say "I don't like it. It's overrated." I mean...there's so much self-confidence there...maybe it's even a little bit pretentious. "I don't like it and therefore it will flop because my opinion is more accurate than everyone else's and my music taste is just perfect, duuuh." So ok, sometimes we don't like a song and that's very subjective, but there have to be some objective reasons to back up the claim "it's overrated".

Eurovision songs often try to "wow" us with big staging, big voices - high notes, everything in excess. That's why I appreciate this song. It's calm and relaxing and to me his deep voice adds something special to the song and that chorus to me is really catchy and this is for sure more than just another pop song. I think it has great potential to be liked even by those people who roll their eyes when they just hear "Eurovision". Good job, Estonia!

Give that man a place in the top 10 for that profile video...

I like Jüri and his song, he seems so friendly - so don't get me wrong but this video somehow feels like an SNL parody to me...
