LA FORZA WON EESTI LAUL WE ARE COMING FOR THE TOP 10

What's with the Italian themes in Estonian songs? 

Last year we were lost in Verona and this year we're listening to the force. 

It's an interesting choice sending a classically trained opera singer. Sweden has done it with "La Voix", France in 2011 and most recently Italy with Il Volo and their "Grande Amore".

 

I'm still listening to Verona cause its so good! Any idea if Kerli ever decided to participate in Eesti Laul again?

It honestly still reminds me of Gaga in some parts but

 

I'm still not sure what to think of the song ..it's like it's builds up without actually going anywhere and because it has no climax its leaving me a bit hanging.

What GaGa song does this remind you of ?

To me its more similar to Iveta Mukuchyan's "Love Wave".

Rybak won again and people on Twitter are having none of it. Can anyone tell me, why is he so hated? I legit didn't know so many people dislike him, what did he do? 

Well, it's been 9 years since his win. There were many scandals and news around him in the media. About his sexuality, about his music, politics and etc. I'm not informed so well on all of this, but I guess things have accumulated for some people.

Sweden is kinda trying to pull of the same thing, year after year with sending one sunny boy after the other..kinda lame

 

Australia is ok, the song is a bit forgettable

 

I like Cyprus and Israel looks super fun migth become a favourite for me when it's fully released

 

 

edit: no for real I think israel is gonna be a public favourite

       -judges vote might kill it though

yep this will do very well with the public votes

 

 

Really?

I feel like there's an attempt to repeat the success the Golden Boy had, with the uplifting beat and kulululu.

Gal Gadot reference, of course. Inserted couple Hebrew lines at least, which is good.

I wonder how she'll perform it live. She's known to use the looper to record her own voice and play it back immediately, thus creating music on the spot with her own voice.

It's definitely different, so I don't know how to process it.

Trust me it will do well, it's catchy, crazy and fun and if she can perform it well it will grab the audience attention and hype them up and this will in turn translate well with the voters. Tbh I'm never wrong when it comes to crazy songs doing well but I'll wait for how she performs it before I bet on it^^

 

Anyways this year there are honestly a lot of great songs, I feel like the winner will be hard to pick. I see the judges and the audience being miles a part with their votes again this year.

I honestly think he is overrated. I never liked fairy tail or his voice... But from what I read many people liked his stage presence but not the song. I saw the song being called trash and people saying it only won because of his fame. A lot of people preferred Rebecca (Another contestant).

Haven't heard the songs but I read the comments.

I don't get the Rybak hate all that much ..I thought the Rebecca song was super lame lol. 

 

Anyways norway went with the safe option. Rybaks fanbase should be strong, espcially in eastern europe to easily get him to the finals and an ok placement.

You seem to be right. The views on this video are skyrocketting, it's even trending in Germany. But it may end up like the Italian song last year, which was hyped to no end, but didn't get anywhere. Still I'm glad there's some sort of reaction :)

Sometimes it's a bit worrying when a song trends too fast, like she might lose the surprise factor by the time eurovision comes around but I think it might be unique enough to keep a hold of it.

 

Tbh I have no idea why italy was so hyped last year, the song honestly wasn't anywhere among my favs, while this one from netta already is one of my favs.
