We let them tell us what to do
Why why why
We live to die for worthy things
Oh ya ya ya

We promised we would never lose our pride
Your word's worth nothing if you lie
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground

We'll be the last ones breathing here

Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

We're taught that we were born to lose
But why why why
Don't waste your breath, it's time to choose
Oh ya ya ya

We promised we would never lose our pride
Your word's worth nothing if you lie
We're standing tall and looking up, our Father would be proud
And I'm happy to be working my own ground

I said
Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

I hope

We let them tell us what to do
Why why why
We live to die for worthy things
Oh ya ya ya

No matter what they try, tearing up our lives
I know we will always rise

I said
Hey, sing your heart out boy
For all the people great and small
Oh, when all else is lost
The future still remains our own

I hope

The future still remains our own

I hope

Great to see that Stefan seems to be the Fanfavourite.

That's what this kind of singers will always have - the eurofans. Not a real interest whatsoever for them from the world's music scene. Just the eurofans and taking part in their countries' national selection every year.

A bit harsh on Maian and Stefan, but I'll give you the rest.

I'm convinced this is Ott's to lose.

Stefan's song seems an Avicii's "Hey Brother" B side with some more country in the verses and a way less memorable chorus, imo. Not a bad song, but nothing really impressive.

Maian? Yeah, I can't say I dislike Meeletu and I can see why people think this song could win Eesti Laul, because it's a contemporary sound and it could leave an impact, but I really don't know... Estonia had mixed results when it came to native language songs in Eurovision, and I don't think this song has the same potential of some past Estonian entries, like "Randajad" or "Kuula" to name a few, to really shine on Eurovision stage.

I really don't like the other songs in this top 5: Interstellar is really basic and really safe, and it's up there because Stig sings it, let's be honest. Champion has just won a nomination for the "best clichèe chorus of the year" in my books, giving me Australia Jesc 2016 vibes all over ("We are Champions just screaming out we are..." (cit. Alexa Curtis)) mixed with standardized Mello sound from mid 2000's. Fire? I mean, come on. I call this the "Eleni Foureira syndrome": you see a girl singing, you see some fire, you see some dances, so it's a masterpiece, right? Wrong. Fuego at the time was something new at least in Eurovision. But trying to copycat something successful doesn't mean you will succeed. I hope this song will stay in Estonia, I said it.

Ott? Yeah he is the clear favourite, imo. Aovalguses is a ballad, full stop. He has great vocals, so he will certainly deliver, we know it. Did I prefer this one to Kuula? I really don't know. What I can say is Ott is not my number one: my favourite is actually "Little Girl" by Merilin Mälk, a simple soft ballad, with a cute little lyric scheme, which I actually find very pleasant to my ears. It's not the most innovative song of all time, but I really enjoyed it. Like I enjoyed "Remedy" from Elina, as I said before. Because it's totally different from "La Forza" and I think it is more accessible to the audience than "La Forza". I actually like Remedy more than La Forza.

Maybe, but this is actually a top made by his subscriber's votes... Obviously the thing this top 5 is "inoffensive and generic" is a personal opinion, others can totally like these songs, I just don't like them or not so much.

I love Eesti Laul this year, so many good songs!

The ones I like the most are:

- Jaagup Tuisk - Kui Vaid
- Stefan - Hope
- Ott Lepland - Aovalguses

All of the three really strong in their own genres. Can't wait to hear them live.
