Oh my goodness, it terrifies me to imagine how much pain Gatsby must have been in. I think I almost cried when reading it… This year I broke my first bone, so I’m still a bit…conscious of pain. Speaking of, I broke my collarbone. I was playing a game of basketball, and the girl I was guarding was trying to get a pass, and I was trying to intercept it. Her elbow just collided with me, and it broke. It was painful, and then there wasn’t much to do by way of healing aside from putting it in a sling,… Read more »
Ok I think that Kerli must win this because: 1.- She is internationally known so thats advantage with the televote. 2.- She can bring a wonderful performance. 3.- She can sing. The thing is that she was ill in the SF2 but in the instragram rehearsal she was flawless. 4.- It is the most different song among not only Eesti Laul, but Eurovision 2017 songs. Most people are talking that they want something uptempo. Kerli is more than that. Kerli takes the uptempo to a new level and mixes it with Estonian realness creating her own style. She is original.… Read more »
I adore Kerli. I think she’s an amazing performer. I love “Spirit Animal”.It’s electropop, uptempo, but it’s not basic. It has a dark vibe that makes it special, the reason why some people hate it while others love it. I hope she remains on top of the betting odds and ends up winning the competition.
VOTE ELINA GUYS SHE DID IT 2015 SHE CAN DO IT AGAIN… TRUST HER… DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS LAST YEAR VOTE ELINA.. and remember Stig Rasta wrote the lyrics Elina ja Stig is the best couple in the Eurovision… let them make Estonia brave again… remember Goodbye to yesterday? this song touched and touches our hearts this song is playing every moment on the European radios… Elina Born has many fans from all over the Europe and Europeans trust and vote her they remember her.. LET HER THE WIN VOTE ALL ELINA BORN for an unforgettable experience…… Read more »
By far, this year’s Eesti Laul is the best NF. At least 5 acts could perfectly represent Estonia. So let Elina made it again….
Elina is the best she can do many things also she is sexy… just vote her do dont make the same mistake as last year vote Elina Born
@Marx perhaps because they were in a TV studio they couldn´t do more? I am thinking the staging might be different for Saku Suurhall, TV studios are quite limiting. though if the performance doesnt change on the big stage, then I would really say it is pointless
..Also Elina dragged massive glowing ring on the stage but pretty much used it for turning it around and siting on it like it is somekind of bench.. If u drag prop onto a stage then at least find a proper usage for it..
I just don’t get why Rasmus isn’t leading in this poll. Everyone else had much bigger flaws with their performance.. Kerli had some cheap slavic style stage precence, Ariadna was just standing on stage and made boring song even more forgetable and Verona was just cheap copy of Yesterday without performance maching with the lyrics..
I believe Elina.. if you remember last year Estonia had a bad song for the Europeans… i mean okay maybe in Estonians this song was very good but the WHOLE Europe listen different music they want a dance in the song not to stay in one position and to song… Elina is her music dance very good and she gives a sexy tip… i mean her song is one of the best for Eesti laul but in the Europeans have the BEST song.. she has many fans all over the Europe… they know her and she know her also she… Read more »
@Colin thank you! appreciating that. I do agree the performance was shaky that time. I still love Play as well as all the songs from Jüri´s album “Täna”, it is a very compact and unique album thematically. but even stylistically I just can´t stretch to compare Play (soul) with This love (blues-rock). they are completely different genre, different melody, different pace, different beat. the only thing thats similar is the tone, the mood.
@PP Koit Toome is with 2 O´s not 2 M´s.
@billy: You’re so right. #TeamElina
In the running order, Elina has the best chances according to statistics. The 6th spot won the most so far.
#6: Timebelle, Norma John, Kasia Mos
#7: Lindita, Joci Papai (round of 8)
#4: NAVI
#11: Tako G.
#16: Claudia Faniello
But since the latter three won with more than 10 finalists in the running, I don’t count them in.
Go, Elina!
Oh Elina what happened. Such a generic track, what a huge step down from Goodbye to yesterday.
Spirit Animal has really grown on me. I don’t get the attraction in Elina Born’s song whatsoever.
KERLI – “SPIRIT ANIMAL”
This song would be more suitable for junior Eurovision
Or some TV program for children under 10
very childish
“In or out” or ” Verona” to win
ESTONIANS PLEASE GIVE THE WIN TO ELINA BORN because she can represent Estonia and she can give a good place in the Final of ESC she has fans from all the Europe and also she has the best voice and she is sexy.. also her song can raise you.. VOTE ELINA VOTE ESTONIA
Elina, Lenna or Ariadne for me.
My winners Carl-Philip and Angeliaa were eliminated unfairly in the semifinal so:
1. Kerli – “Spirit Animal” with a real tribal staging and no with that purpurine party and a sightly better live.
2. Karl-Kristjan & Whogaux feat. Maian – “Have You Now”.
3. Daniel Levi – “All I Need”. Good song, but he should improve his live.
This year EL final seems to be a pink party… In any case, should Elina or Koit & Laura, two OVERRATED songs that would get stuck in the semi. Laura should have won last year, but not this year.
I don’t get all the like for Rasmus Rändvee.
The song is far too simple and never gets going. I mean, he performs it well, but I think the Juri comparisons are apt. He had a similarly weak song with cheesy staging, too. This could achieve a similar result at Eurovision in my opinion.
#teamRasmus, btw. FTW!
It is probably just me and my music taste, but all these pop soulless songs are just NOPE. And in that basket, I’ll put almost every song which you guys put it as a favorite to win (all sung by girls, interestingly). 😀
Verona FTW!! They’re amazing!!
It’s Lenna Kuurmaa. Not Kuurma.
With Ariadne at Eurovision, I think we wili have situation like wiht Austria 2016, TOP 10 with televote and bottom 3 with juries.
Kerli good song but stage perfomance and vocals are not good.
At Eurovision best chance have Koit and Laura and Elina ( if she don t ware same dresses from semi).
Kerli can be in TOP 10 or flop in semi final, depends on vocal, and how public and juries wili react to this kind of song
Ariadne good song, but if she go to Eurovison , I think because of vocalc juries wili put her in bottom list.
My TOP 3
1. Koit Tomme and Laura
2. Elina Born
3. Ariadne
Ariadne have for me best song, but somethnig missing in stage performance , it so static
12 Kerli
10 Elina
8 Rasmus
7 Liis
6 Lenna
5 Have You Now
4 Ariadne
3 Laura & Koit
2 Ivo Linna
1 Daniel Levi
I really like all the songs, but not all of them have charisma or the performence to be really loved.
Ariadne ALL THE WAY. Her song is fresh and VERY 2017. Kerli is amazing too (and will probably win) her vocals just weren’t good. Elina is good too, but Verona is just sooooooo simple and overrated. It’s not bad, just not interesting enough.
@redfox – I voted Juri, twice. I believe his nerves betrayed him, though. It’s funny how people are now saying ‘look what happened with Juri’, referring to a song choice. Isn’t it quite obvious there was nothing wrong with his song, but the performance was shaky. He was vocally on point, but he was sweating and shaking throughout. He must have been nervous or ill. Even we do make a comparison between Rasmus and Juri song-wise (and they are as similar to one another as Rise Like a Phoenix and Undo are, meaning only roughly the same genre), their performances… Read more »
I would love for Liis’ song to win but her performance was not as good as her singing. Kerli then would be my favourite.
I’d be happy with lenna , koit and laura , karl-kristjan and maian or Ariadne as well.Great selection.By pure percentages I favour it over Melfest as of yet.(7/20 vs. 6/21)
@Moon Light: Tallinn is with 2 L and 2 N.
*5 points to Verona, correction
12 Lenna
10 Kerli
8 Daniel Levi
7 Rasmus
6 Ivo Linna
5 Daniel Levi
4 Elina Born
3 Liis Lemsalu
2 Ariadne
1 Karl-Kristjan, Whogaux
last year you wanted Jüri to win, and then you didn´t even vote for him. We don´t trust you. whoever the crowd votes for It will not be Kerli. Her song is too repetitive. I have a growing suspicion the people will choose Ivo. Whether it is enough with that jury, we´ll see. I am wishing for rasmus, but it depends on the performance in the finals. If all goes perfectly for him, he is a dark horse. just as long as it is not Verona, I am satisfied. Sven Lõhmus is a true by-the-book composer, he is just an… Read more »
Eesti Laul is so overrated! All songs are mediocre.
It’s Koit & Laura, Kerli or Elina for me. However, all of them must up their vocals if they make it to the ESC.
Rasmus reminds me of Juri Pootsman from last year…and we know how he did. 😉
The other songs are nice to mediocre, but hardly ESC final material. Knowing the Eesti Laul jury, their likely favouring Elina over the others (the “Stig” influence). 🙂
FOR ME THE SONGS OF ARIADNE AND ELINA HAVE MORE PERSONALITY AND GIVE TO EUROVISION 2017 DIVERSITY BECAUSE IN EVERYWERE ARE CHOSING THE SAME. TNAKS TO ESTONI FOR A GREAT FESTIVAL WINTH GOOD SONGS AND CREATIVITY
@Moon Light – AGREED. Rooting for her and Liis but we all know Kerli is gonna take the cake at the end…
How can Verona even be considered a good song?? It’s your standard made-for-Eurovision duet love ballad and the staging is practcally the same as Goodbye to Yesterday. I get the impression I’ve heard this song in DMGP before.
Kerli ftw all the way
I honestly don’t understand the hype with Verona and Spirit Animal… Elina is the only one that would make it to the finals.
Kerli, love u and u win it. ?????
Honestly Verona is the worst song in the final.. it is even more overrated than Supersonic.. Rooting for Kerli and Rasmus!
I voted for Ariadne and Rasmus, as they have my favorite songs out of these survivors. Eesti Laul is always my favorite national final every year. Looking at this selection, it’s almost sort of hilarious. Like, every song (but two- “Have you Now” and “Verona”) is fantastic! And some of the amazing songs that were disqualified, ugh! Even from the start of the contest, I was like “there are literally upwards of 8 songs that could win and I’d still be happy.” Kerli probably will win, so she’ll probably bring something captivating and unique to the table come Kyiv!
After seeing Rasmus performing in 2nd SF, I am now rooting for his song..
Rasmus 12 Points from Germany
Of course this is the website with the Kerli fanboys. Estonia are staying in the semi-finals if they pick her.
Verona is their only chance of a good result.
Kerli was sick before her performance and almost lost her voice. You can check her vlog where she talks about it here: https://youtu.be/bTdeU7ww1qs
I’m sure she’ll feel 100% better when she sings live in the final and give us a great performance.
This is such a good final – I couldn’t even pick one to vote for; I want to pick them all!!
@chance IM TRANS TRASH AND IM VOTING FOR KERLI FOR EUROVISION HUNTY,BYE FELICIA xx
