Uku seemed really happy after the semi. The interview he gave to Estonian press was the most relaxed and open he's ever been. 
I guess it's been exhausting to be in this position for so long, especially when you're constantly reminded your song will flop, you're not predicted to qualify etc. ..he really had to go through the entire Eesti Laul process twice.
He said he really enjoyed the performance and the audience was amazing. And when asked about returning, he said there's a lot of really talented artists who deserve the chance to experience what he did.

I enjoyed Uku's song a lot yesterday but I knew the chances for Q were slim, especially with that running order. The performance itself was good, no vocal mishaps either.
I remember the melody really well and I love the harmonies (together they are heavenly for me) but I can see why for some it could be forgettable.I only remember I like this entry... but can’t recall the melody

I'm looking forward to the split results because I always thought he would get a decent score with the televoters.
The staging was okay, but they could have a done a bit more imo. I wish they had brought a prop, personally I liked the chains of the NF.
The amount of wide shots was not helping, but that also applies to a bunch of other countries (Azerbaijan, Latvia for instance).

Sissi should've won the Estonian NF.

I was close to tears listening to this song. But I can't remember the melody for the life of me.

Not a bad performance, but this song had no chance in this semi with Bulgiaria, and even the annoying Swiss guy wearing his nanny's drapes.

One of my absolute favourite Eurovision songs this year was (and remains) "Lost In A Dance" - studio version. So Estonia really brought something this year. When it comes to Uku - there are many good things to say about him, but I don't like the constant backing vocals. They make his songs sound artificial and overproduced.

Before 2016, Eesti Laul was my favorite NF.Eesti Laul 2016 was so good
Sadly thay they turned for the position of Melodifestivalen rejected entries.
sadly that will never happen again because our new HoD only cares about which songs get the most radio playPlease, Estonia.

There is any chance to kick him out?sadly that will never happen again because our new HoD only cares about which songs get the most radio play
Here it worked very well. From the huge flop of 2015 to the victory of 2017.
i don't think so, many people here have already said that the quality has dropped so much after he got the job but he just doesn't listen lolThere is any chance to kick him out?

Same for me... e.g. Eesti Laul 2011 still is one of my favorite NF ever

Not a huge fan of Rahula, but I don't know he's some sort of big bad mastermind to blame for everything either. He doesn't personally pick all the songs after all. The pre-selection juries have had different people from different genres & radio stations, it hasn't been 100% bland pop singers or some such. But I do wish they'd find some way to rework the song selection a bit. The juries might have people with different tastes, but if those tastes clash, it might not favor divisive songs. Not entirely sure how they could fix it tho' without stacking the jury with people that all share the same taste. Do away with the 1-5 rating for each song and go back to top 10 lists? That does away with the ability to down-vote divisive songs. Maybe give each juror a certain amount of points to distribute among their top songs? So if a few people really love a song that others don't, they'd have a way to increase it's odds. Of course it might just be that the variety/quality of submitted songs has gone downhill and there's not much to pick from. These days the charts are dominated by rap, so maybe out of 150 submitted songs 100 are amateur rappers, 40 are bland pop songs and the remaining 10 are actually something interesting. I still wish they'd post all the songs online for everyone to listen to, but they probably never will, as that would disqualify them all from trying again next year or something. I just wish to find out if we're missing out on all the gems or if the level of songs really is that bland these days.

🇪🇪 Estonia: Lowest Audience to Date for a Eurovision Grand Final on ETV - Eurovoix
ERR recorded its lowest ever audience for a Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final with less than 150,000 viewers watching the contest.

can't say that i'm surprised lol, looks like all the middle-aged moms are now boycotting esc because their precious uku didn't qualify (even the eesti laul final had more viewers plsss)
