Estonia 2023: Alika - Bridges

[AGinAg (37)]

So this is the one that apparently makes jurors cry?

Is she mean?

I mean she's a bit flat but I wouldn't cry over it

 

[OutSynk]

I like what it builds to but getting there is a chore.

Voting for Ollie

 

[OutSynk]

Lol no I'm poor

 

[D5K]

Is she mean?

Early on we were told that the song was just that amazing.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[OutSynk]

Winner


Let's hope it makes the Eurovision juries cry too.

 

[D5K]

BAREEEEEEJES

 

[Penelope]

Is a revamp too much to hope for?

 

[FetchFugly]

I quite liked the ghost piano and the last minute in general.

 

[OutSynk]

But judging by the list I can't see anyone else but Alika Milova winning. Estonian Idol winner + successful Eurovision songwriter + juror lady cried to it.

PREDICTED BEFORE ANYONE ELSE

Here she is performing in Crimea in 2016. SHITSTORM ENSUING

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Total dog egg of a song. Disgusting that this came top 10. Send her to monge factory immediately.

 

[Penelope]

Have to say a personal reason I'd quite like to keep the current system is that there's basically free money being handed out on trees in some of the betting market opportunities when stuff like this gets through a televote semi and has a jury vote waiting for it in the finals - 6/1 to come top 10 when it was clearly headed for a big panel jury haul.

 

[OutSynk]

Another top10 in the bag.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Just because it happened, it doesn't it was good.

The state of Emily Thornberry’s Estonia dish last night.

The song grew on me a bit, as much as it wouldn't have made my final.

Still can't even start with that fringe, though.

Looks like a 1970s culinary classic. Think I'd rather eat ground glass.

Not the CHRISTMAS BOWL

Yeah it was obvious the juries would eat it up, but also crucially, she didn't have female ballad competition whatsoever that I recall (I don't count Armenia!) which must have made a difference.

 

[lolly]

Looks vile, but I'd sure as hell eat it.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

THERE'S ALWAYS ONE isn't there!
Alika joins the likes of TAMARA TODEVSKA as this year's surprise Jury SMASH! ANY OPINIONS??

I'm normally WELL UP for a bit of miserable caterwauling at Eurovision by a wide-eyed (and possibly feral) pale-faced woman from the East, but this was just FAR TOO po-faced and joyless for me.

I thought it would pick up points as there is certainly a contingent of people that will relate to it (unlikely to be found in the UK mind), but it really did OVER PERFORM!

 

[Marina Salty]

If they didn't style her in Burda cut out fashions and that soviet hair i wouldn't mind her at all, the song isn't really that bad and she's a competent vocalist

 

[GNL]

Not to burn a world of bridges or anything, but I actually like this quite a lot.

Stylistically, she mostly reminded me of a young Sophie Habibis or Ruby off EastEnders. Icons only.

I wonder if we'll be going for another WINNING FORMULA like this next year. Someone must be in talks with CAZZI OPEIA as we speak.

 

[OutSynk]

But also I'm gonna need Sven back.

[GNL]

She should represent Portugal next year
