DRAW: Semi 2 (14)
Estonia is another country who retained the contest format they used last year. The Eesti Laul 2012 final was held March 3 and consisted of 10 songs that emerged from two semi finals that were conducted the previous weekends. The winner was Ott Lepland and the song is called Kuula (Listen).
A lot of people like this and expect this to do very well, but I am a fence sitter. It reminds me mainly of the Finnish song 'Why' from 2005, a glimpse of Jonsi in 2004 and a mash of other songs. But I am comforted by the fact that this man can sing and the song is good. But I'm uncertain of it making the final - optimistically finalist and into the top 10 with a good performance. Semi-pessimistically, still a finalist but a low placing.

ESC 2011 #30: ESTONIA - Rockefeller St - Getter Jaani
[rating before - 11th; after - 36th]
I was stupid. I was stupid because I listened to the cranks that said that this was potentially going win the contest and we would be visiting Tallinn again. But truly, if the song was performed in the polished way it was in the Estonian final, maybe the song would not be remembered as the 2nd worst in Estonia's short history.
I had a problem with her screechy voice, her cutesy performance, the two dumb backing singers, the lame dancers. It really was very try hard, and it got them nothing.
