This performance somehow stands out from the rest of contestants. Others are so staged and full of special effects they look pretentious, cheap and fake. Estonian song on the other hand seems much more genuine. Simple, beautiful and very touching. It is by far my most favourite Eurovision song ever. Greetings and tons of love from Russia :)
This comment and it's responses are Eurovision for me, respect, a good chat, and opinions. Congratulations!! Apart from that, I loved all your songs, including the Finnish one. Greetings from Spain.
No. It's one of my all time favourites (and I haven't missed a Contest since 1975). It's on all my playlists and heard regularly in my home, in my car, and wherever I happen to be Nx
christina Simonyan Hard to find info if they are a couple officially. We can clearly see there is something between them. Their performance was true love. I will not be surprised if they are together behind closed doors.
Krõpsupakk Number Kaks .... where are you getting your numbers? Semifinal: Tele - 2nd, Juries - 9th, combined - 3rd Final: Tele - 5th, Juries - 11th, combined - 7th

Jakob Balen Sorry i meant semi final and i mashed up final and semi sorry again
Well, 2015 Eurovision was staged in Austria who won with a similar type of song in 2014 (Both could be Bond themes, with Estonia 2016 who came after, included). Still, the juries were so OBVIOUSULY into Mans and his Heroes, the whole voting was rigged for them.
12 points from Serbia!Absolutely THE BEST SONG!It will be criminal if this song don't win... Singing with great emotion,with simple but still great choreography,amazing voices,what do you need more for win!?That girl Elina looks real hot,she looks perferct and is so beatifull,so stunning! Greetings from capital of Serbia,Belgrade
Marko Visekruna Even I was surprised. They must have very professional team who made it possible- I really kinda believed their STORY on stage, and with this kind of relaxing song is very difficult to make a show and to play a story on big stage of concert hall- so AMAZING TEAM WORK! Really.
Zsolt Gajdán Yeah,I can't complain about song of Serbia,but the most of people from Serbia complain about languange - Singing in Serbian is tradition,in fact people often say that we have nice language...Tnx for support.
This is my winner. I dont understand how inferior Swedish song won in the first place. PS. I am Lithuanian, but it does not mean I love Estonia only because of that.
Arūnas Jonas Kastėnas But actually Sweden didn't won. Italy did. Just juries pushed all other favorites (Italy, Russia, Estonia) aside that Sweden could win the whole thing. Look split votings. It clearly shows what juries did there to help Sweden to a victory once again.
Yeah Swedish song was just another clone of David Guetta. He should be proud - his legacy is strong. There are songs that "die" after a few days/weeks following the end of Eurovision. I am sure Estonian song will keep on appearing in Baltic radios for a while. Maybe not as frequent as the Swedish song... but at least it is a nice song to listen to. It has this Bonnie and Clyde kind of feeling to it. Sa ja, det er det.
This performance was incredible, the song is already powerful, but this guys figured out the way to create this simple but strong concept for the stage performance, which was amazing and touching. There were great voices at the first semi final, for many people Russia stood out and I agree that the interpretation of Polina was great, but the song is a complete cliché for me and therefore it shouldn't win. Estonia stand out to me, is perfection from begining to end, so moving, just perfect!
I'm so proud to be Estonian, that performance was so good.. and all the emotions at the end!! super, super! THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone for supporting us and voting, it means a lot to a small country!! GO EESTI! :) Tallinn 2016
OMG, this was officially the most emotional stage ever on eurovision. So simple yet kept you in your chair wanting more. Perfect voice matching, pretty with the shadows, and omg that end.... OMG that end... It killed me. WINNER, TOTAL WINNER! GO ESTONIA, GO!
Can you hear the voices of the crowd singing in the chorus? 1:45-2:13 ... it's the only song where you actually can hear the crowd....... People, Elina and Stig were the real winners!!
I am Estonian and I'm VERY VERY GLAD to see so much support from other countries. And to be honest, I guess each and one of you had your favourite, who wasn't your from your own home. For other countries and supporters: Good luck! Let the winner be the best! ❤
The best of the night, by far! Had a haunting stage performance, I felt the feels of Elina and Stig and their voices were fantastic. I hope that this will win Eurovision on Saturday! Don't forget to vote Estonia! 12 points from the US :)
I can't recall a more epic performance than this one. Stig leaves the stage and Elina sheds a tear. Truly masterful. I think we have a winner here (not sure though, till I see stage performances from Italy, Spain, Sweden and Slovenia). Clearly better than any other performance tonight, though.
singasong31 To begin with,you have to be pretty to be on that stage and sing.This guy wasn't pretty and he was awkwardly looking at the camera while singing,without any expression in his face.And the girl,if you noticed she just sang like a robot,she had her hands down and was staring at the camera.Plus the melody of that song was too common.10th place for me would be a success.
DaHound OfJustice To begin with, no one asked for your opinion. Plus you clearly have problems with your eyes, since you did not see any expressions from preformers faces. No further comments from you would be a success for everyone, especially since you have problems with your vision and hearing.
samanthaelvish I was not amazed by song (this I knew is good), but I was amazed by stage direction, it was so perfect for THIS SONG- classy but simple, as 3 minutes movie of their story. So 1/3 of credit goes to their director of stage solution!:)
Один из лучших дуэтов на Евровидении за всю историю. Недооценили их, конечно. Кстати, в Беларуси по результатам зрительского голосования они были вторыми. Но потом влезли "профессиональное" жюри и всё подпортило
Great!!! This song sinks down into the soul from a first sight! Perfomance, voices, words.. everything seems to be simple, but sounds really stylish and truthfully.. Neighbors good luck from Saint-Petersburg! Your song deserves to win..
Oh, that small country Estonia knows how to play the ESC Game, and this was maybe the best entry they ever had. Great singers, great setting. Hope you win ESC again, Estonia.
This was pure perfection. The staging, the voices and the tension between them. They played their characters perfectly. Stig looking emotionally unattached and leaving her alonge at the end and Elina being the heartbroken one. She was even crying!! You cant get more into character than that! They couldn't have played their parts any better and the staging was absolutely brilliant portraying the lyrics of the song. Well Done Estonia on one of the best song presentations I'e seen on Eurovision, if not the bes evert. You guy deserve a top 3 spot minimum. Hopefully many 12 points will come your way and i hope it will be Tallinn 2016, if not Sweden/Italy 2016.
So many emotions between them. I totally ship them! I loved the way they were looking at each other, in the second chorus. So many feelings. And the way he lefts at the end of song, and she is left alone, it is heartbreaking. Whoever doesn't understand the reason why he is leaving, should clear his ears and listen to the lyrics. Thats why they are in english! Whoever says this performance was emotionless, i guess is a emiotionless hater, who can go somewhere else. I won't accept any lower placing than the top5. This is a masterpiece and it'd better be treated that way! I hope you win estonia, even though i sadly doubt it, a top5 placing is so much deserved though! I'd be sad if you place lower.
MrTwilighter yeah, there is a really good database for the shippers:) That story how Stig found Elina on youtube - fanfic's ready! He just "was charmed by her musicality", oh yeah, right lol And the way he looks at her... awww:) Also he broke up with his gf last year, probably he was tired of lying to himself - he is head over heels in love with Elina! Not sure if she is.
Aww, there is actually some back story! I knew those stares in the middle of the song can't be just made up! There is totally something there, it is still developing though! I hope they end up together in the future! They look amazing together!
MrTwilighter Sorry but Stig has a girlfriend. If yu use google translate then you can read about it from here: elu24.postimees.ee/3174669/stig-rasta-leidis-armastuse-initsiatiiv-tuli-minu-poolt
MrTwilighter They are both in relationships... Plus there's also a 15 year age difference between them! Which is actually a lot. They are very different people anyway besides the differences that come with the age gap. Not everyone fits together as a couple... As friends, yeah. But not as a couple, even if there may be some feelings. They've been closely working together musically for a few years now aka Stig's her main songwriter and they are good friends through that, but I don't think anything's gonna happen. :D
Один из самых харизматичных дуэтов последних евровиденских лет, клёвая авторская песня - должны были быть в тройке (вместо шведа, имхо). Из России с любовью
No Elina please, don't cry! 'cause if you cry, I start crying too.... Oh my goodness I have the goosebumps after watching this amazing performance. WONDERFUL ESTONIA!
Vocally perfect, the chemistry of the duo is working, the song is superb. After that performance and stage presence this is definitely going into the top 3 at saturday night.
I think this song is better than all other songs estonia deserve first place(actually urban symphony deserve the 1st in 2009) but i think eurovision song contest always choose 'appereance' and 'show' not music but 'goodbye to yesterday' will our real champion in eurovision song contest always loves from turkey
