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​

Is it true that these two guys

are part of this former Eesti Laul contestants?

That would explain EVERYTHING!

Yes....

 

[hijirio]

My top 5 after first listen

1) Kea - Hypnotized
2) Suured Tüdrukud - Heaven's not that far tonight
3) Heleza - 6
4) Jüri Poostman - Magus Melanholia
5) Tanja - Best Night Ever

barely missing: Uku Suviste and Redel

Not impressed with any of the songs though. I enjoy my top 3, that's it.

 

[r3gg13]

This line up feels like they belong to 1 album, they all sound so similar to each other. That being said, I think Uku Suviste's song is the most memorable out of the bunch. It almost feels as if this was intentional

 

[Citelis]

There are several good songs here. I think that ''Energy'' is my favorite but i like a lot ''One by one''.

 

[outsynk]

So I’ve decided I will be rooting for our big girls (suured tüdrukud) this year. Who’s with me?

 

[Mrm]

 

[mauve]

The song I love most in this section is one that people here don't like at all. Kaos performed by Uku Haasma. Great song, it does a lot for me. I also love
Gram-Of-Fun – Lost In A Dance
Alabama Watchdog – Alabama Watchdog
Kadri Voorand – Energy

If Gram-Of-Fun would make it, I would be super happy!

Andrei & Pluuto

REDEL

Apparently most of my favorites will be in semifinal 1...

Unpopular opinion but I don't think Eesti Laul is as meh as some people say, and I don't think Uku's song was an improvement either. It may not sound as cheesy and dated as "What Love Is", but I think his 2020 effort was slightly more interesting and captivating, if people said his song last year "was just there" I don't know what to think about "The Lucky One" then.

Egert and Koit did it for me once again, Ivo & Robert & Supernova's song is my guilty pleasure, but I get why it is not really popular - sounds a bit 90-ish, but I love the melody and the progression.

[AliceEsc]

Gram-Of-Fun - Lost in a dance stands out for me, good melody and easy on the ear.

I find Uku Haasma - Kaos quite interesting and I also have a soft spot for Juri!

 

[Looren]

Here is my ranking of the different SF before the show :

SF1 :

1. Hans Nayna "One By One" : My favorite studio version of this NF and surely my favorite song from this Eurovision season so far
2. Koit Toome "We Could've Been Beautiful" : My second of this selections and it's not far from Hans, I finally love a Koit's song
3. Karl Killing "Kiss Me" : This is everything I love, a man, a guitar and a nice voice
4. Ivo Linna, Robert Linna, Supernova "Ma olen siin" : I enjoy this very much, the duet father/son is actually lovely
5. Kristin Kalnapenk "Find A Way" : I can't empeach myself smiling when I listen to this, it's the cutest song of the selection (it's also my sister's favorite)
6. Wiiralt "Tuuled" : The most original song and I like this type of song
7. Nika Marula "Calm Down" : I like her voice but not the song
8. Egert Miller "Free Again" : I don't understand the hype for this
9. Kéa "Hypnotized" : This song is everything I dislike
10. Tuuli Rand "Üks öö" : Very bad song
11. Tanja "Best Night Ever" : I liked "Amazing" but Tanja is disappointing me
12. Andrei Zevakin & Pluuto "Wingman" : This is lucky that Redel is participating, if Redel wasn't there it would've been the worst song from this ESC season so far

SF2 :

1. Kadri Voorand "Energy" : Such amazing vocals ! The song is beautiful too
2. Uku Suviste "The Lucky One" : This is nothing compared to "What Love Is" masterpiece but it's still good ! I love Uku's voice
3. Sissi "Time" : Gospel song
4. Uku Haasma "Kaos" : Original song and nice vocals !
5. Rehel "Sunday Night" : This is funny
6. Juuri Pootsman "Magus Melanholia" : I don't hate it but don't like it
7. Alabama Watchdog "Alabama Watchdog" : The song is stupid but I don't especially dislike it and don't like it neither
8. Helen "Nii Korgele" : Same that the two above
9. Heleza "6" : This is getting boring
10. Suured Tüdrukud "Heaven's Not That Far Tonight" : Definitely not my style
11. Gram Of Fun "Lost In A Dance" : That's really bad
12. Redel "Tartu" : Who can be worst ?

Redel are planning on doing no rehearsals for Eesti Laul this year.

Redel: plaanime Eesti Laulul ajalugu teha ja enne konkurssi proove mitte teha

Sel aastal on üks Eesti Laulu poolfinalistidest ansambel Redel, kes lauluvõistluse jaoks veel ühtegi proovi teinud ei ole.

I totally agree on both 1st places!

Kudos to Estonia as there are a number of quality songs in this year's Eesti Laul. My favourites:

Kadri Voorand "Energy"
Jüri Pootsmann "Magus Melanholia"
Ivo Linna, Robert Linna ja Supernova "Ma Olen Siin"
Rahel "Sunday Night"

I predict all will do well with the jury. My personal choice to win would be Kadri Voorand as it would be the most bold entry of the bunch to send to ESC. Unless she has an extremely special and intimate live performance it stands no chance in hell though...

 

[Mainshow]

Worst Eesti Laul in years.

Apart from "6", no song was genuinely interesting to me.
Most songs sounded rather generic and basic.
I could live with "Free Again" and "We Could Have Been Beautiful".

 

[Mrm]

Who wants to recover ears after Raylee's 80s MGP proposal!?

Such a great song, I hope so much that this is going to win.
