So, Uku or Jaagup, Jaagup or Uku, I don't think anyone else stands a chance at this point.
I didn't really mind Uku's song in studio version, cheesy as it was, but the live version left me very unimpressed. Somehow all the power seemed sucked out of it. Crappy static staging, strained vocals, bland and unimpressive all around. At this point it feels like a potential NQ if it gets chosen. As for Jaagup.. Beautiful Lie doesn't really grab me as a song, and all the 'inspiration' he's taking from different things is annoying. But at least his live version was well staged and interesting to look at. Probably the better choice out of these two, but I don't trust our televoters to pick him.
I suspect they'll go for the cheap cheesy schlager as usual, given the option.
Can we just send Shira instead? Glad she managed to make the final.
Give her an actual staging too, rather than a pointless piano that's on screen for 10 seconds and a cranked up wind machine.
There's surely more they could have done with the space theme, some interesting backdrops or lighting effects or something. Oh well, she's not likely to be winning anyway. *sigh* If juries sink Uku it'll probably be Jaagup, and if they don't it'll probably be Uku. I guess it's possible, if Uku gets sunk, that his voters will go for someone other than Jaagup and sway the results in the superfinal.
In which case maybe someone like Rasmus will benefit. Synne could take his spot too, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where Uku is sunk by juries but Synne somehow isn't. Oh well, not too long until we find out which way the cookie crumbles.
Can we steal Lithuania's song instead and send them Uku in exchange?
