Estonia 2023: Alika - Bridges

[OutSynk]

That song made her CRY??

Don’t laugh.

 

[Penelope]

Lest we forget we inhabit a forum with people (come 'ome @The Unholy Ghost) who are on the record as having cried to HOREHRONIE

 

[OutSynk]

I'm seeing HYPE for OLLIE on the ESC forums and I do like it tbh.

 

[OutSynk]

I wish ELYSA went TITS OUT for the chorus because everything else works. I guess the Ava Max comparisons are right because her music is just as LIMP.

 

[OutSynk]

ELYSA - OH HELLO SYNTH POP. So formulaic, so fabulous. Very Hero. Totally won't get past the first round.

I think she's always ended up in the superfinal and it will probably be the same this time. Her husband is RICH so will pay for the fireworks to hide the PAPER THIN vox.

 

[Soldi]

Elysa's Stig Rästa written song shows promise but the chorus doesn't quite get there.

I came over you CAME OVER ME

 

[OutSynk]

I came over you CAME OVER ME

ON SPOTIFY NOW



(actually been on there for a week apparently)

 

[Penelope]

Really hope all those jurors that cried over Alika DIE and Elysa's sumptuous candy bop makes its way to the Liverpool 13th place semi final exit it was BORN TO HAVE

 

[OutSynk]

I'm ready to join the HYPERBOLE tbh.

[Iguana]

lol

 

[Marina Salty]

The first semifinal is tonight lol

On an ASFM night?

 

[OutSynk]

On an ASFM night?

I know right, what were they thinking? I didn't even know it was today until...today lol

 

[Marina Salty]

Is it over? And also is there a link to watch? @OutSynk

 

[Marina Salty]

Oh it's over.

These ones made it to the final:
Ollie – "Venom"
Andreas – "Why Do You Love Me"
Bedwetters – "Monsters"
Anett & Fredi – "You Need To Move On"
Janek – "House of Glass"

These didn't:
Ellip – "Pretty Girl"
Kaw – "Valik"
Merlyn – "Unicorn Vibes"
Mia – "Üks samm korraga"
Neon Letters & Maiko – "Tokimeki"

Good and fair chopping, I won't miss any of them.

 

[OutSynk]

Is it over? And also is there a link to watch? @OutSynk

I didn't watch it.

 

[VoR]

Venom is #1 on Estonian Spotify. It's... not for me, but it's at least less boring than Bridges/Lighthouse, which are the two perceived frontrunners with the bookies apparently.

 

[Marina Salty]

Not for me either, am hoping it'll get chopped on the final.

Just going to take this moment to once again STAN the working clock in the ETV logo

Also I wouldn't mind this making the Eurovision final. Fun for Straights to keep them interested at the eurovision party you forced them to attend.

 

[OutSynk]

Not for me either, am hoping it'll get chopped on the final.

Venom SLAPS.

 

[ButterTart]

Venom is very good. I like his mid-90s support act singing voice

 

[OutSynk]

I can just tell ELYSA will be like a WET WIPE on the stage so I'll probably be rooting for Venom to win.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Elysa at risk already at getting culled! She wasn't in the jury/televote combined top 4 and the public is now voting on the last qualifier.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Ms. Els got the wildcard!

Elysa out!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

oh there's YET another wildcard, but in a vote between both semi-finals Elysa can still make it to come 11th!

 

[OutSynk]

I haven't seen the performance but how did she not get through to the final at least

 

[OutSynk]

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Qualifiers from Semi-Final 1:
Ollie – "Venom"
Andreas Poom – "Why Do You Love Me"
Bedwetters – "Monsters"
Anett & Fredi – "You Need To Move On"
Janek – "House of Glass"

Qualifiers from Semi-Final 2:
Inger - "Awaiting You"
Meelik - "Tuju"
Sissi - "Lighthouse"
Alika - "Bridges"
M Els - "So Good at What You Do"

and there'll be an additional wildcard selected from of the losing acts of the semi-finals.

 

[win_the_game]

I haven't seen the performance but how did she not get through to the final at least

I'm guessing the dodgy camera work and/or the line dancing(!?!).

 

[OutSynk]

Maybe my expectations were so low but I didn't mind the performance. Should've passed on the song alone. At this point I don't care if it qualifies as it's clearly not gonna do anything in the final.

 

[Marina Salty]

 

[Jacques]

Venom was my favourite from semi 1 so wouldn't be mad if that wins, but Sissi is my favourite overall.

 

[Penelope]

What the FUCK?! ELYSA DIDN'T QUALIFY?

 

[Pingu]

Elysa gets a wildcard!

And someone else idk.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Elysa and the girl with the Estonian half-baked schlager qualified!

 

[Marina Salty]

 

[Soldi]

OMG SHE’S GOING TO WIN

 

[OutSynk]

She was sick when they called her.
