Alright, call it cope all you want, but I think their minimalist staging will help them stand out. All the other party songs are going pretty wild with their staging, these guys are going for the cool factor, and I think that's smart.
It could also totally help them with the jury if they end up qualifying.
Edit: one more thing, I have never understood why people considered this a "joke entry" to begin with, but with this performance, that label makes even less sense. It's a *fun* entry, but there's nothing about it that suggests they're pandering or making a mockery.
> I have never understood why people considered this a "joke entry"
I wouldn't call it a "joke" entry considering that these two acts are *seasoned professionals* who take this really seriously. A joke entry would do otherwise.
This is fun, but really could do with that little bit MORE. I worry the stage is going to look kinda plain and empty despite them having 6 people onstage.
Pretty sad that they will donât use the outfits from the MV, but also these are cool
Now the last thing i want is to see them qualify for the GF, GO ESTONIA GO
Still love these guys, not entirely convinced by the staging. The cubes on the cubes look interesting, but the overall package is lacking colour and I'm not convinced the 'shouting at each other' moment worked in Eesti Laul. I hope the casuals love this as much as we do!
Ha, the "shouting at each other"/"fighting"/"having an elevated discussion on stage" part was one of my favourite things in that performance!
Just gonna trust in their ability to throw a wild party in SF2 because I *need* this to qualify.
You do know that to have fireworks on the stage means you have to pay enormous amount of money? They even said in an interview that they can't afford to have any smoke on the stage, because EBU charges too much for it. So #EnergyIsFree
I guess they figured that with six performers who are all integral to the show, they wouldn't overcomplicate the stage. I dunno. I love this act, so I'm hoping for the best!
I'm a little nervous about PĂ€evakoer's opening. It seemed a little off-beat here, but I'm hoping they can work on it. I want them to win the televote so badly!
Guys, I know you check Reddit! Best of luck and I love your music so much! If it wasnât for Eurovision, I probably would have never discovered you!!!! There isnât much productive feedback in this thread, and I am not sure you will get much because people who love you - just do!
Love from Ireland, I listen to your songs daily now!
Looking and sounding so good! The preparties stages couldn't do this justice, our boys are meant for a big stage!! I am so excited to see this performance and stoked about them doing so well!! It's a lovely day for Estoners đȘđȘ đ€đ«¶
Do I see correctly that they're not all on stage at the beginning? Honestly I like that.
Also I'm quite confident about the colors. Heidi said there was lots of color and you can even see a little bit of that on one pic. I low key suspect they're trying not to show too much right now.
Yeah, Iâm so excited about PĂ€evakoerâs walking through the audience! I thought after watching Eesti Laul they couldnât do that at Eurovision and how disappointing that was⊠guess I was wrong!Â
Hard to find much different from Eesti Laul and that is concerning. Love the song, love the energy but it is wild that 6 high energy guys look swallowed up by the stage.
I donât really know what to think. They are somewhere at the top of my favourites list and I was expecting a lot from them. I really liked their NF performance the way it was and this feels like a downgrade. Iâm not sure the song and the vocals are strong enough for minimalist staging like this.
The use of cubes is cool though, probably my favourite #cubewatch moment so far. And I really like the idea of starting the song in the audience.
I still think they have a fair chance to qualify in a televote semi (not going against Finland and Croatia is in their advantage, though they are a bit close to Joost in the running order). I canât vote for them but Iâll be hoping đđ»
I'd have preferred the MV outfits but once we've seen them wearing them to pre-parties, there was no chance they're going to reuse them again. Alas no fire barrels either. Still, a polished version of what we've already seen at Eesti Laul isn't a bad idea. Just like with most entries it'll all depend on camerawork and actual artist performance (PĂ€evakoer looking at you).
A month ago I was 100% confident that they'll qualify but this semi ending up absolutely STACKED + pretty much everyone really bringing their best game is making me a little nervous. My entire top 3 in the semi that I can't vote in, woo.
Go, Estonia! Europe needs to know that you don't know (anything) about (those) drugs!
Fire the staging director. This does not elevate the song at all. They had so much to work with given they had an amazing music video but for some reason they chose to not incorporate any of those aesthetics into the performance.
You may downvote me but I feel like Armenia and Netherlands will cancel it. Maybe not in the way that they are going to cost them some votes but rather make them stand out less
no prerecorded vocals, no props, no pyro, just six silly boys with 2 talharpas and a dream. i love them so much.
based, i just wish vsauce would be bit louder
I waited for this so long I was going mad! đ They are amazing!

Anything fun or camp gets called a âjokeâ entry.

My main concern was indeed the "shouting at each other" part

Someone has come to steal the televote...
To those saying they don't really have staging: Is the Veisson not enough?
I see what you did there.

Dudes rock
Love this! Hope it qualifies!

the beginning was still a little off
They're going with the suits??? Aw man, I was hoping they'd go with the drip from the music video :(
Looks fun! Definitely see a lot more colors than I expected. I just hope it makes it to the final!
I'm sorry and I hope I'm wrong but it's giving Latvia 2022 with all the hype and in the end we know what happened

Am i the only one that thiks the performance looks (aggressively) straight for Eurovision?
I have been agonizing all season over the fact that my #1 is by far the straightest entry of the year.
Am I misinterpreting your comment or are you really saying Eurovision should be catering for gay people alone?
ItÂŽs just a joke. But, i guess we arent used to see something so agressive and straigh in Eurovision.
The first guy singing is a bit off key They need to fix that staging is more and less what I expected
This feels so much like it belongs on the [Dwarf Fortress soundtrack](https://youtube.com/watch?v=GhaKh9bCUJA).
Theyâre my favourite this year
could this process be any slower?
I know!! It literally seems to take three hours to upload those clips
If these guys win and make money, they are GOING to get sued (by any one of 1000 Raja composers of the last 10,000 years).
