I loved this song but HATED the new arrangement :(

I completely agree - he turned it into a theatrical showcase of his vocal abilities.

Still, it got my vote tonight.

Yeah, I still love it but it's no longer My Number 2, at least not the live performance. No doubt that he can sing but I suppose all I can say is that sometimes less is more.

Totally agree, that was just TOO over the top vocal show-off and took away from the actually melody... he did the same mistake as in the Ukrainian case.. we GET IT.. you CAN sing.. but try to stay true to the song still?

Congrats Estonia, personally I'm not really sold on this however... not in comparison to many others.

I was amazed. Literally amazed.
His voice was great, I could feel the emotion, the music is really super, and he looked extremly sweet and hot too. :D Go Ott!

The way he sung this tonight took me by surprise. Soo raw and unexpected. You can't go on singing a song the same way forever. Each performance is different and special and with a song like "Kuula" I think that mindset certainly can apply. He should sing it like how he feels it in that moment. I loved it. One of the most powerful moments of the night.

The Estonian camp is doing the absolute opposite to the Swedish delegation, they totally suck up to the regime... top. 3 here we go! :lol:

Eurovision once again politicized :/

Great performance yesterday! I like the song sung live much more than the studio version. Go figure.

Well, he's not part of our delegation. He got a special invitation from Azerbaijani government. And I don't think he is doing anything wrong. Refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh and domestic political opposition are two totally different things.

This was another surprise from the semis, I thought this'd be lost due to its mediocrity. I know a lot of people like this but personally I just can't get on board. He's a good singer though, and the background is possibly the best in the contest this year.

Prediction: 15th-20th
