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​

from me - it is a huge upgrade to his song last year but it's still so dull, generic, and bad. It makes me cringe so much, tbh.

 

[tomos2019]

I'm not too sure about him again, I can see it would have been admittedly a bit harsh if he lost but imo a better option would have been to either internally select him or maybe not have him in the NF if he didn't want to be!

 

[Looren]

YAAAAAAAAAAASSS !!!!!

HE DID IT !!!!

TALINN 2022 !

POINTS AND FIRST PLACE

 

[Ana Raquel]

i am an old woman and this is a fine

 

[I bims]

I didn't need a crystal ball to predict this outcome~

Edit: I give him

 

[mauve]

Hi Uku! Take my generous for your generic song!

 

[lavieenrose]

Another country makes the just decision to send their 2020 artist again. That's good, even if I would've much preferred Sissi under more normal circumstances.

Uku I think is trying the hardest of everyone who's back to capture the vibe of their 2020 entry. At this he succeeds with flying colors, but the vibe of his 2020 entry was no vibe at all, or any real life to speak of, or anything distinct or memorable.

I'll give this 4 points. Just like I did last year.

 

[Ezio]

Wow this is some delicious cheese, and Uku himself is even better

6 points for the song and 2 extra points for the love injection

 

[JChan]

That was a super fun show! Some really great entries, super charming postcards and a pretty exciting results sequence (until the final duel that is). Kudos to ETV for a great Eesti Laul.

I actually don't mind Uku's song. It's certainly a better entry than last year and he's a charismatic performer even if he doesn't have the greatest voice. A solid choice for Estonia and it's nice to see him get a chance to perform on the Eurovision stage! points for now

 

[Flamenkax]

Not my favourite but i somehow prefer this song to What Love Is.
It's catchy, he can sing, he improved his staging, he did well.
But it's quite average overall, so take my Uku, could grow on me in the future !

 

[Realest]

My first 12 after 20 Songs.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

TALINN 2022 !

now that's delusion

I think it's a really bad sign that the international juries didn't really like the song

 

[ekzuu]

I don't know if we qualify, it's gonna be tough for sure. Hope Kirkorov helps him with staging and vocals lol (although I don't like him at all but he needs his help)... But I'm forever glad that he got his chance and finally AFTER YEARS OF TRYING gets to go to Eurovision. He really has his heart in this and deserved it.

 

[harey]

Sorry, it's a 2 for me.

 

[Journalist]

No. I don't like it so much. It's ok but Juri better for me. However, good luck Estonia
2 dva poena

 

[Synergise]

Poor Koit missed out on the superfinal by a single juror point

 

[Mrm]

Estonia take my

Can you believe that last year I voted in the poll for Uku!

 

[CPV4931]

Not my favorite tonight, but there also were worse songs... 7 points so far in the poll

 

[crashworld]

So happy for Uku, he really deserves it. The jury voting was really so nerve-wrecking. He almost didn't make it. Thanks to Estonian public giving Uku the chance to sing at the ESC.

Now back to his song. Definitely better than his last year's entry and one of the better tracks in this year's Eesti Laul.
Please fix the staging, it needs to be more impactful. I really don't like the video clip parts.
Vocal wise, need to fine-tune some of the diffficult parts and he's fine.
I am giving it a for now.

This will tank. It got less jury appeal than Poland 2016 but it will definitely attract less televoters as well. So far, I think this is the most obvious NQ we got this season so far.

That said, I have to say that I am somehow "glad" Uku got another chance to reprersent his country. That's fair, I guess.
