Koit Toome & Laura represented Estonia at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv with the song Verona. If you want to know more about Koit and Laura, visit eurovision.tv
i remembered this song these days because of corona....strange.....but....I see how good that song was, bad live performance but great studio version and good lyrics
Are you fucking kidding me? This was one of the best songs, why didn't it qualify??? I even voted for this. First Finland, then Estonia. Such a shame... I'm crying :'(
Finland and Estonia have certainly been the biggest crimes so far in Eurovision this year. They are both so often underrated that I'm sadly starting to be barely surprised now...
i will NEVER get over this. this was and always will be my fav song from Eurovision 2017. just like romeo and Juliet, this ended in tragedy aswell. i literally cried when tVerona didn't qualify, it is the biggest injustice in Eurovision history but on the plus side just like Iceland 2016 and finland 2017 this will live on as a fan favourite even more then if it had qualified. love from uk xx
Her mic was off during the first couple of seconds. You may think this had no effect on the performance but you're wrong. It clearly made them both nervous and this resulted in vocal mistakes in the first part of the song, while the second part was really good. They deserved to have another go! So unfair. Wish I had the chance to vote for Estonia tonight :( 12 points from Greece ❤
♥ profεssioηαl fαηgirl ♥ Actually they didn't even notice. In an interview Koit and Laura said that afterwards they were approached whether they would want to perform again because there were technical problems. They thought it was a joke but then chose not to because they liked it as it was. Also Laura was sure that the audience would understand that it wasn't her fault
mysterious ticking noise Yeah I read that too later. 😂 At the moment it'd seemed to me that they'd noticed, since the vocal problems only were in the first part of the song and everything went smoothly after the chorus. Still a pity though, I really liked their song
just realized that koit toome is competing in the estonia's national final and laura is in the finland's national final this year so basically they both can be in esc 2021 with just different countries to represent🤔 it would be interesting to see they both there again!
What an amazing song, really cant stand why we wont see it in the final on saturday :( I still love it, "Verona" has been my 2nd favourite to win the whole contest
One of the biggest SHOCKS this year. How could this song fail to qualify? Great song, great staging and great voices. OK, I only disliked one thing - they didn't look like a "couple" on stage. Koit sang for himself while Laura sang for herself
I think that's because of the "content" of the song. It's not supposed to be happy, they're a couple that has lost love. But yeah either way their chemistry has always been lacking in general (since they're not a real couple xD)
It was pretty cheesy. Koit sometimes just stared and did ridiculous head movements which was hilarious, and Laura's mic didn't even work in the first second she sung
I think their no chemistry for some weird reason worked on their favour to make this more memorable and entertaining to watch. Televote thought so for sure.. I mean 6th xD
AwesomeThundercloud How does smiling make you not qualify? It could've been the microphone incident at the start or them coming out of tune at certain points.
that´s because only one of our neighbours were in this semi-final and as we know, this contest is geopolitical. If we were in the same group with Latvia, Finland, Russia, Sweden, then the results would been different. And Italy also couldnt vote.
@@vonkrusenstierna4976 Me too! When I first heard it I liked it so much I searched online and found a 12" vinyl copy which has six(!)versions of the song and I still play it on a regular basis. Some songs you tire of if you hear them too often but not this one I never get bored of it! Thanks for your reply very best wishes to you!
@@SJHUE I think I saw it in the online shop back then! I am not sure what versions are featured but I know the Italian version that is absolutely epic, as well as the 1985 version and the Moon Taxi remix that are not bad at all! Best wishes to you too, lovely to chat with another 'Verona' lover! 😉
I was laughing so hard when Koit gave those looks to the camera XD I mean I love this song but I'm not surprised they didnt qualify with this performance!
it is greatest song for all eurovision history... i'm listing this song for many times and it makes me feel romantic... Koit and Laura has such amazing voices, Laura so nice young women... her song 94-95 makes me crazy :) if i'd be younger, probaly i'd emigrated to live in Estonia because there live so nice people (now i live Lithuania). thank You for so nice song.
Even though I wasn't a big fan of the song before the contest, I admit that it had an impressive stage perfomance, surely unforgettable! I thought it would reach top 5 in final!
It was such a favourite in the fan bubble. And for me surely too! Perfect Performance, Perfect staging, great massive Song. I will never understand why this masterpiece of eurovision song didn't make it to the final!
J'adore ! I love this song ! Pour moi, cette chanson est la quintessence de ce que l' "Eurovision" est capable de produire. The voice of the guy makes me crazy.... !!!! I could listen to him during hours ! Thanks
this is one of my ALL TIME fave eurovision songs ....should have got through and won in my opinion ....its that good it's now being covered by an austrailian and uk artist dueting ...(both men) due out soon on energise records! ..... love all the remixes of this that were done too including the 80s italo version ! such a great song that has done well even after eurovision ;)
Agree Sean it was a truly sensational eurovision entry. I thought it was so good I bought a 12" vinyl with six versions of the song! So sad it wasn`t in the final it could have done really well
I have no words what songs.How could such talents fail to pass to the finals.I am getting more and more disappointed every year in the song contest.They should at least have been in the top three of the best.The song is just no words.Both the girl and the guy have a good voice and vocals.You are for me in the top three finest.Certanly good songs have got to the finals.but you had to.Very unusual song,unlike the others!!!😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍I liked it very much!!!Gorgeous duet!Respect from me!!!😊
Yes for like 1-2 seconds. And then they asked them if they want to perform again and they said No. Are we seriously gonna cry now what a huge crime it was?
i come here sometimes to reminisce the best song of the decade in ESC. what a massive robbery... Estonia is one of my favourites and always consistent. Love from a Greek in Lithuania.
I think Estonia was the only country that really deserved the final than any other dis-qualifier and this is shown by the televote!! 6th place!! (Juries 17th)
Thank you Estonia!!! Thank you for great song, you gave us this year.... Best wishes to all Estonian people in ESC 2018!!!And thank you for choose this lovely song!!!! This year my winner song in Eurovision 2017..... :D :D Greetings from Slovenia :D :D :D
