Estonia ESTONIA 2021 - Uku Suviste - The Lucky One

[escYOUnited]

Wonder if it ever crossed your mind
That what we had was really unbelievable, unbeatable, a miracle
Why'd you have to go and mess it up?
Why'd you have to make what was unbreakable shakable, unsavable?
And now it's too late to cross your fingers
I'm wide awake and not a dreamer
Hate it, but it seems the dreams were never true
For a little while the fates were with us
Wonder why they had to turn against us
I could make a wish, but there is no use

I can feel
Even though I'm numb
The change to come will hurt someone
I can see
This time it isn't me
I might be the lucky one

I don't need a crystal ball to show me
Baby, it is plain that you don't know me
When it comes to you I'm better off alone (Better off alone)
I don't need a crystal ball to make me
Realize that if I stay you'll break me
Every sign is saying I should be gone
I should be gone

Thought I had a cloud over my head
It had to be my fault that it kept raining down
Until now, I figured out
That if I had the nerve to say goodbye
I could look for clearer skies up over head
Weather says sun instead

I don't need a crystal ball to show me
Baby, it is plain that you don't know me
When it comes to you I'm better off alone (Better off alone)
I don't need a crystal ball to make me
Realize that if I stay you'll break me
Every sign is saying I should be gone
I should be gone

I can feel (Even though I'm numb)
The change to come will hurt someone
I can see (I can feel)
This time it isn't me
I might be the lucky one

I don't need a crystal ball to show me
Baby, it is plain that you don't know me
When it comes to you I'm better off alone (Better off alone)
I don't need a crystal ball to make me
Realize that if I stay you'll break me
Every sign is saying I should be gone
I should be gone​

That news title also has a double meaning.

#1 "Politicians are doing whatever they want and they are manipulating you the best they can to get their way, your opinions are no longer valid"
#2 "We weren't disqualified just because some fans got angry, your opinions are no longer valid"

But i won't convince anyone, so i better stop.

Well, thank you for these meanings, I hadn't thought about especially second one. However, with the 'media police' the message I received was more along the lines of 'only trust things and media you want to trust' which for me is no go.
Once again, if this was the only thing, I'd gladly accept it it as a 'controversial with discussion as its aim', but the overall package feels to me too much like an american far right Shveik Soldier (a popular Czech 'hero' who pretends to be completely stupid and incapable only to skilfully manipulate everyone).

But thank you for the discussion anyway, I do like changing my mind here and there when I see a reason for it, and I can even do it multiple times

Alabama Watchdog top 4 with the juries! Wow

 

[Ana Raquel]

anyone who supported that glaringly transphobic song is also a transphobe

(looking at you juries)

 

[EscGeek]

Juries forgot about Uku S. and he's 100 times better than last year

 

[njdevils94]

The twitter meltdown will be funny if Alabama Watchdog qualify will be funny. Still unlikely too though as Uku and Juri are probably top 2 in the televote.

 

[crashworld]

Oh dear, I hope Uku S qualifies.

 

[njdevils94]

So the question is can Kadri win the jury vote in the final?

 

[EscGeek]

O

Omg I forgot about him for a moment. Not a good sign But he’s in imo

Of course he's in, but still..
I hope this is just a way for etv to get more money from televoters.

 

[Ana Raquel]

televoting saving lives again thanks for flopping that transphobic horror

 

[crashworld]

The first finalists are:

1. Uku Suviste
2. Suured tüdrukud
3. Kadri Voorand
4. Jüri Pootsmann

The final is going to be lit

Wow! These are in my top 4 predictions earlier on after the performances.

 

[crashworld]

Now I just need Gram O Fun & Heleza to qualify coz I really like the studio versions and so they can have a second chance to improve their performances.

 

[njdevils94]

I've never been a fan of Daniel Levi's music.

 

[HayashiM]

Redel??? The world is so crazy...

 

[VirginiaVision]

Redel??? The world is so crazy...

The camera man certainly wasn't expecting it- he was miles away!

 

[HayashiM]

Happy for Sissi at least.

 

[VirginiaVision]

RIP 6 and Lost in a Dance

 

[Ana Raquel]

the only two entries i loved in this selection qualified and the transphobes are out

 

[estonia]

All the entries I cared about qualified on the first round. Great!

 

[jatojo]

Disaster for Gram-Of-Fun. But I did have the feeling that people who watch song contests are not among the biggest fans of this kind of music.

 

[Matt]

The first four qualifiers were absolutely the ones deserved top 4. Juri surprised me, sounded a whole lot better live. Biggest disappointment was Gram-Of-Fun, it fell apart live I'm afraid.

But I think we all know it's basically a battle between Uku Suviste & Toit Koome.
