I'd be excited about Iiris if it wasn't for that dire song title

Love Stig’s song and really like Iiris’ but the hype is with Elina whose song will surely be incredible live as its opera. Haven’t listened to many yet but I’m team Stig so far!
err.ee is your friend

I entered Iiris into a fantasy Eurovision contest when I was given Estonia. Can't remember if I sent "Melyse" or "Weirdo" though
I also misread that Des'ree was one of the hopefuls from looking at the list again

This has to win Estonia, don't let me down.

So, I thought I'd peep these so I could check another NF out that isn't Sweden and... well... it really can't be anything else other than La Forza
Posted by: Liаm 28th February 2018, 01:04 AM
I feel like La Forza could be a contender in Lisbon, being something totally different and will obviously be incredible live. Watch as Estonia end up not even picking it :')
What a f***ing stunning song mind 
Opera usually doesn't do it for me but this is really hitting me. I'm in tears at the power and simplicity of the performance.

I assumed Estonia were up in the odds due to "La Forza"
Posted by: Liаm 28th February 2018, 12:31 PM
Yeah I think so, nothing else even remotely sounds like a contender I got them each way while the odds are 10/1 as I assume they'll go down a bit when La Forza wins.
Posted by: SKOB 1st March 2018, 08:05 PM
I'm not that impressed by La Forza but it's a miracle if they have something better available.

The favourites to win
The betting odds suggest it's a done deal for Elina Nechayeva to take the Estonian ticket for Lisbon, anyone else would be a huge surprise.

Eesti Laul down, now to win Eurovision x
Posted by: AdamAloud 3rd March 2018, 10:54 PM
It really is this or Fuego at the moment. Ryan SHOOK at Estonia AND Cyprus being the favourites.
Posted by: Cameron 3rd March 2018, 10:56 PM
Spectacular.
Posted by: Liаm 3rd March 2018, 11:02 PM
I can't see past this winning from what we've got, an absolute spectacle on stage and I am almost certain there won't be a better vocal performance. As I said as well, it's different which certainly worked for Amar Pelos Dois, that "omg this is real music!1!1!" pull from casual viewers
Posted by: LexC 3rd March 2018, 11:06 PM
Problem is, nobody ever went broke betting against Opera at Eurovision failing to live up to fan expectations.
Posted by: Liаm 3rd March 2018, 11:12 PM
Didn't harm Il Volo, although that was more pop and less opera I guess
Posted by: J▲hq 4th March 2018, 10:42 AM
I am disgusted that this is being touted as a potential winner when Verona couldn't even qualify!
Posted by: Midge 4th March 2018, 05:44 PM
"Verona" was ROBBED! I do much prefer it but "La Forza" has that potential wow factor. This sounds like a max-2nd place for me: and could even perform like "La Voix". It basically sounds like "La Voix" un-mixed.
Posted by: ScottyEm 4th March 2018, 10:20 PM
Verona was marvellous... right up until the duo decided to recreate a Dollar tribute act. I knew it would crash on the night... but I still love it in its studio form.
Posted by: Jonjo 7th March 2018, 02:01 AM
Keep it.
Really not my thing at all.

Posted by: Midge 11th March 2018, 01:08 AM
Just watched her NF performance and all I can say is WOW. That voice! And the staging as well, so captivating! This will nail the juries vote won't it.
I think its main problem is the genre: is it going to crossover enough? I don't particularly like the song - I wouldn't choose to listen to it whatsoever - but then as a live performance you can't not be amazed.
