If i like a ballad doesn't mean that i have to like every ballad exists but you really can't accept it! And i haven't said anything offensive about Italy's entry so you can't say i'm hater!
And i don't like Slovenia's entry!
With each passing day, the more convinced I am Realest is an ESC juror parody account.
but i have to thank you.
Thank you for formulating exactly why Uku is in fact the worst of the year. A calculated, soulless, insidious attempt at jury pandering. An uncanny valley abomination to ensnare those without the willingness to think critically. (Ie: messy shallow gays and sex-starved fraus)
Fortunately 'What Love Is' is so typical and tepid that it has no appeal beyond physical attraction. It is only a matter of time until justice (sorry, Justice) happens and he finds himself curbstomped by a coven of Icelandic nintendo nerds.
I don't understand how it is possible for you to understand the Italy of the 90s. We in the 90s competed for a total of 5/10! If you are an expert on Italian music of the 90s, you will know the protests of Enrico Ruggeri and the Jalisse who reproached RAI for not focusing on the ESC. As further evidence, the horrendously organized ESC 1990 (RAI didn't want to spend too much) and the best songs left at home for fear of victory.I don't dislike "Fai rumore", but I find it plain and *typical*, if that makes sense. Italy had a pretty great decade and "Fai rumore" just feels like a downgrade of what Italy were like before they peace'd in the early 90s... which is not an Italy I personally enjoyed much.
He will get an easy top 10 though. Like, the song is okay, the vocal is good. But this is so far off from what I normally support that I can't really give more than a 4/5 at best.
Btw, further testemony of "What love is" being shit. We're discussing Diodato in its thread. Diodato.
Except, they haven't.You call it soulless and calculated, I call it professional, powerful and competitive. You just criticize Estonia for doing their Job correctly and sending the Song with the (probably) most Successpotential.
Yup, Heart Winder was my fave. It still is, actually. So what? This might be a novel concept to you, at no point, in this thread OR elsewhere, did I say it should win Eesti Laul, despite being my fave. I knew full well it would combust in a blaze of self-inficted incompetency from second one and never pretended otherwise.I mean if they send whatever Trash you like (wasnt Heart Winder your #1?) they are dead on Arrival,
Uku gives them at least a realistic Chance (like 50-60%) to reach the Final and get a solid 11th-20th Place.
And yes, Im aware that he wont stand a Chance against Iceland this Year, but Estonia was probably never going to be a Top10 Contender from the Beginning (even with Jaagup).
I thiiiiink you might be overestimating my investment of Italy, their involvement in Eurovision and their musical scene in a broader sense.I don't understand how it is possible for you to understand the Italy of the 90s.

You are actually telling the untruths.I thiiiiink you might be overestimating my investment of Italy, their involvement in Eurovision and their musical scene in a broader sense.
I am a simple man and I like fun, frivolous, catchy songs. That isn't Italy's thing at ESC and that's fine. Unfortunately that also makes them an ESC country that I don't particularly care about.
not to YOU and your two permanently jetlagged brain cells. what i just said, on the other hand, was, and: worth it. you never offer any insight of value on anything about estonia, dear british @opinionsigotem clearly knows more about eesti laul than you despite you being estonian, and he deserved none of your typical snotty attitude.But #FIRETOMIRAHULA (twice) was not rude?
OMG you think i'm straight, that's so cute 33333334567You are actually telling the untruths.
Italy, especially from 2010 onwards, has always reached the "Top 10". So overestimated what? The numbers speak.
I appreciate that you love catchy songs and if I wanted to go disco and dance and woo girls, I would call you to come with me. We will have a lot of fun
However, to say that "Italy has not brought catchy music" is an embarrassing falsehood. I would like to remind you of "Occidentali's Karma" and "Soldi". Italy is among the few nations that has experienced all musical genres.
"Try again you will be luckier" Damn ticket! When will I win this blessed money!
Estonia chooses Victor Crone with 'Storm' for Eurovision Song Contest
On Saturday evening, Estonian voters in 2019's instalment of Eesti Laul, a competition held to pick an artist to send to this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, chose Swedish singer Victor Crone to represent the country with his song 'Storm', co-written by Estonian artist Stig Rästa.news.err.ee
"The other two artists in the superfinal were Estonian artists Stefan and Uku Suviste. Mr Suviste attempted to give the proceedings a nationalist spin, calling on the TV audience to vote for an Estonian to represent Estonia, hinting both at winner Victor Crone's Swedish nationality as well as Stefan's Armenian roots. "
so there's not even "I'm sure he's a good person" to fall back on
A very shocking result. I was like 110% sure Jaagup would win as the audience in the hall was clearly the loudest for him. The whole time I thought why even bother with all of this, just give him the trophy already. I can accept that Uku won but the fact that he did it by such a landslide? Jaagup was clearly a HUGE favorite and you could tell that in the hall as well. It's incredibly suspicious that Uku got over 30 000 votes and Jaagup not even 10 000. Are we sure they didn't just mix up the results or that Kirkorov didn't just buy the votes? Yes, I have my tinfoil hat on.

anyway: #firetomirahula, anyone (with an IQ, so, not you) can see the forest for the trees.
Totally explains how much you know Estonians. It was meant as a joke and 95% (pulling the stat out of my ass, I admit, but other Estonians here can confirm) of Estonians took it as a joke although maybe a bad one.Estonia chooses Victor Crone with 'Storm' for Eurovision Song Contest

I mean, I don't really care either way as there was nothing to pick this year anyway. Uku is boring and lame as fuck and Jaagup is too similar to last year's Eurovision winner. I just thought it was a weird result. My mom voted for Uku and even she thought it was weird how few votes Jaagup got. I guess the voting audience for Eesti Laul must be older than I thought considering this and Verona.Jaagup's song got hardly any attention on social media though. Whatever outlet I opened, Uku was the only name mentioned anywhere and the amount of likes his performance got in just a few minutes was very telling. The audible part of the audience is primarily young people and children. Inger had a huge audience support last year as well.
The lines were down for Kerli, Kirkorov bought votes against Jaagup, what is next?
