Re: ESTONIA 2019

I wonder how much more liked Storm would be if Stig didn't write it and Victor didn't sing it. :lol: I like the song. Regardless, I think/hope we'll have a ~surprise winner.

I wonder the same thing tbh. If it wins its gonna be revamped anyway but Victor was really off and oversang in that semifinal performance a couple weeks back.

Re: ESTONIA 2019

Yes, they shared the points, but in the same way we benefited from Latvia, Lithuania and Finland. They boosted us from last place to avoiding bottom 5 in 2005. I don't think that we tried hard with Let's Get Loud, Through My Window and Partners In Crime. In fact, it was definitely our dark time in participation history.

Yeah, it's time to put the idea to rest that the mid-2000s Estonian songs were good and just not appreciated by Europe. Other than Tii, which was an innovative piece of music and almost got to the final, all the other songs were forgettable or dated (and in Kreisiraadio's case, deliberately bad) and deserved their result (though I'm not necessarily saying that other countries' songs that made the final were always worthy either). On the other hand, saying that something else, like Iseendale, Moonwalk or Iiris could've done better does make sense, and some of them likely would have; even Sven Lõhmus has basically said that he sabotaged himself with Let's Get Loud.

Re: ESTONIA 2019

While I agree that Let's Get Loud and Through My Window were shit I thought Partners In Crime was quite good and Gerli's vocals were amazing. The worst thing about the first two is that we actually HAD better songs to send but then again the same could be said for some of the Eesti Laul years as well.

Re: ESTONIA 2019

Bad news guys. Inga is sick today and Victor has overtaken her on Spotify Viral. :(

The good news is she's still the highest on the main chart, gaining 8000+ views a day on YouTube and if she fails at the final we can blame it on her being sick.

Wait I just remembered Laura was also sick at the final in 2017. Another good sign.

Re: ESTONIA 2019

To me Tii is one of the worst choices we have made. So very country specific song that had no business going to represent us in Europe. To Europeans this must have looked just very weird and confusing.

I think the problem isn't Stig (he gave us GTY after all and many here loved In or Out), but the fact it sounds so much like the Avicii-influenced Swedish pop that was a thing in 2013-2015, but sounds tired in 2019. It's not gonna help that Sweden has already sent those black-haired commercial pop males for 4 years in a row, the fans are clearly tired of it.

I'm here for a surprise winner too!

Re: ESTONIA 2019

Victor Crone odds are drifting a bit in Betsafe while Uku Suviste and Stefan become more likely winners. I can see Stefan winning tbh.

I'd be fine with Stefan winning to be honest. Man can sing! The song reminds me too much of Cyprus 2017 for some reason, but I would probably be able to overcome these comparisons by May :lol:

Re: ESTONIA 2019

Out of those 6 finalists ETV Pluss uploaded to Youtube, Uku is the only one who's crossed 1k views (compared to the few hundred views of the others) and does not have a single dislike. I think he still stands a chance to win.

Starting from 4:30, the queen's reaction to every part of the performance is all of us :lol:


"OH YAS the choreography girl! She's stunning, she's fabulous, she's a f*cking queen delivering those goddamn bops"

Re: ESTONIA 2019

ETV+ (russian language channel) shows Eesti Laul and if Russians living in Estonia actually care to vote, this could be a huge advantage for Uku. Does not take a lot to swing the result with such equal contest and if one segment of a nation drops behind one song that could be it.

I hope Elina will perform La Forza with a live orchestra tomorrow. Would be a perfect opening.
