ESC 2015 Reaction Series 7th Place - ESTONIA!

[@evehhr2]

Elina's single tear was one of the most iconic things to happen in 2015

[@lorofcb3]

It's a star of its own...apart from her of course.

[@sortub9693]

This song still plays on the radio here in Greece. They could have won the whole thing.

[@oglukzkashan]

I really wanted this to win in 2015!!! Perfect duet, perfect lyrics, perfect song, perfect performance...

[@101mosquitos]

They are such a good performers. Especially her. Great song and fantastic staging

[@Barista.Nathan]

This has some of the coolest staging from the decade. Such a great song!

[@coobalt]

i absolutely agree. this was art ....

[@esmeevanderpluijm4508]

My winner of 2015 😍

[@laki991srb]

This song deserved top 3! The best Estonian entry in my oppinion 😊

[@stuey0013]

My best ESC entry ever! I was waiting anxiously for your reaction :D I wanted Estonia to win 2015, but I am still really happy with the 7th place in the very strong competition :)

[@kairitlaitinen191]

This was the biggest favourite Estonia has had, really. By far the most viewed Estonian song, they played it in radios in Europe etc. I've never seen such love for an Estonian entry, it's iconic for that reason alone in my eyes and I know the difference because I'm Estonian, the air around it was special. Before the contest, it was first for example in the Eurovision tops on KZbin etc. But the chemistry was something they just worked on (they are good friends. Their age difference is like 15 years anyway. Stig also wrote and produced her first album) and no, they're not an actual couple. He had a girlfriend and now they're married and he has a daughter (and another one coming soon) :)

[@shineonyoucrazydiamond824]

What?. Thought he was like 5years older

[@dajnova1148]

this was my winner of 2015. finished too low. i still listen to it regularly. LOVED hearing crowd singing along with them. and that tear at the end... girl sold it!

[@ReeceChambers99]

One of the very best Eurovision songs of the past few years in my opinion. Certainly one of Estonia's finest. Glad you reacted to it.

[@Lucillee688]

2023 and I can still singing it. It should have won.

[@MAEVA81]

I loved this song so much, 2015 was an incredible year for ESC

[@lavacookie8849]

Awesome, waking up and have another reaction for breakfast 😂 This is btw one of my favourite duets from the last years. I love how they are telling their story in this song, so easy to understand and follow it

[@101mosquitos]

Lavacookie I agree. But it is also the expressions : his eyes, her reproaching look, her tear... She is soooo upset!!!

[@JRRivera1222]

I knew you’d love it! Obviously, it stands as one of the best songs of 2015. For me, it’s one of the best Estonian entries ever.

[@mirroroffthewall5932]

Does anyone else like to pretend that Norway and Estonia’s songs are about the same couple?

[@ankhefenra]

Yeah, just like I (jokingly) pretend 2018 Lithuania and Ireland are about the same couple.

[@csordasszandi2638]

ankhefenra You made my day😂

[@flonran]

Oh my god, I never thought about this but now it's all I think about ahahahaha it's a whole different perspective!

[@Liiiiiooon]

Waking up and getting the notification because of a new video! Couldn't start better in the day! Thanks, Jake! :)

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Lion You’re welcome.😊

[@sortub9693]

Lion *mood*

[@harithoma-a-8157]

I bet he did want to wake you up ;)

[@schadesloth7933]

Estonia and Norway's duets were my very favourite songs of 2015. I still listen to Elina Born's music- it's timeless. On the subject of duets I will instant request Malta 2004- Julie and Ludwig- On Again Off Again. It is legendary.

[@ankhefenra]

This was worth the wait. This entry is one of Estonia's Big Three together with 2009 and 2012. It's hard to find a top 3 of Estonian entries that isn't some combination of those three, although I guess La Forza will shake things up a bit now.

[@cankrbl]

Didn't you notice her tears at the end ? :(

[@ja1207]

Can Kırabalı I feel this is the SF performance...

[@domiiinik4320]

@@ja1207 It's from the final, you can see her tear

[@EuroBogan]

I loved the duets in 2015. I already previously commented that the Czech Republic was my favourite entry, but this one was a VERY close second. A truly haunting performance.

[@JSchultze94]

Funny how two ballads consisting of duets got split so much in the jury/televoting. Jury goes for the more controlled ballad of Norway and the audience went with the more emotional performance from Estonia!

[@emanuelrobles3115]

I comment just to say thanks for creating all this amazing content, Jake, and thanks for keeping up with us eurofans and our requests, we just get excited whenever someone joins our family ❤️

[@JakesFaceReacts]

Emanuel Robles Thank you!

[@emanuelrobles3115]

Jake’s Face Reacts oh, thank YOU, bud, stay awesome!

[@mimi-xx]

this song is so amazing! i didnt get the hype at the time because i had other favourites (belgium, sweden, etc) but it really is an amazing vocal performance and amazing song and it deserved to do as well as it did!

[@Vicky08Tz]

Oh, to answer your question they were not a couple during eurovision. He said in an interview he wrote the song and was looking for a singer to perform with. She made youtube videos with her performances, he kinda stumbled upon one of them and he immediately thought she'd be perfect for the duet. End of (a not so romantic) story 😊

[@marcexner1631]

No, they're not a couple in real life but two of the most respected artists in Estonia. Tho me the song has a certain Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra written by Burt Bacharach vibe. And did you notice the single tear running down Elina's cheek? She's that good of an actress! Estonia is one of my favorite Eurovision countries and they have the best national preselection, Eesti Laul, with so many great experimental, artsy and contemporary songs to choose from. Unfortunately the Estonian people don't always make the right decisions... Most famously in 2014. They had THREE potential winner songs available and chose some some feeble expressive dancer instead...

[@capybaking3149]

Marc Exner hey, Running was pretty experimental too - only Drum and Bass song in ESC i know od

[@JaNeZoKu]

Best visuals on stage! So simple and classy, well done Estonia! Nice song too. :)

[@adelaidepereira6987]

Another one of my favourits of that year... You always leave me emotional with your reactions ... You feel things so deeply and beautifull... Tears came trough my eyes... again 😊... Thank you very much, Jake, for all of this... Thank you.❤✌

[@TurquoiseSnow]

Ahhh I have been waiting for your reaction for Estonia 2015. Watching from the airport right now. I adore this song! I have Elina's full album that Stig co-wrote. Stig is pretty popular in Estonia, and he messaged Elina while she was in class saying he saw a video of her singing on KZbin and wants to sing with her, and she started crying.

[@tomxofnfifjfn]

IVE BEEN WAITING DOR THIS, DESERVED TO WIN

[@maribelsotillogonzalez9569]

Amo esta canción. La sigo escuchando una y otra vez. Es especial. Los dos actúan tan bien que creía que eran pareja. El videoclip de la canción tiene mucha calidad. Al igual que con Rumanía te recomiendo que lo veas. Besos desde España. Me encanta lo que haces.

[@Vicky08Tz]

Still on my Playlist 3 yrs later! ❤️❤️❤️ One of my favorite ESC songs! Their storytelling was flawless, the staging innovative and her emotional performance still gives me goosebumps! ❤️👏👏❤️

[@EurovisionFan91]

If they released the Eesti Laul 2015 songs, i knew this will win and it was the best. Totally slayed in the superfinal, got 70% of the votes in the superfinal. And when we have a clear favourite in our national final, then usually we do well in the Eurovision too - 2012, 2015, 2018 are good examples.

[@ervinkoci449]

One of my favourite from Estonian. Estonia have always good song.

[@tihk89]

My favourite with Italy in 2015! Such an ageless classic! Still listening to it!

[@PaulKalak]

One of my favorite Eurovision songs ever! Thanks for the reaction!

[@lemonjuice9529]

One of my fav, great song and great eurovision year. It was awesome.

[@edlee7652]

I’ve been looking forward to you reacting to this one, it’s still by far one of my favourites of all time.

[@silviagugles]

I was looking forward your reaction to this lovely song. Your point of view is great, I am highly agree!

[@plainvanilla7901]

Who's exited for Place 4? 😁

[@peterjovanovic3553]

Estonia was my personal winner of ESC2015. :)

[@mimi-xx]

also, can we talk about how amazing and effective this staging is?

[@stelamakri3700]

This was my favourite that year! 2015 had so many amazing performances ☺️

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

My most played ESC Song after City Lights. And I will keep listening to it...

[@pilip4972]

Great Estonia!I love this guy,very good song and performance. Now waiting for Belgium and the amazing Loïc Notet!!!

[@Mickey-oj4ee]

They were so great - and deserved a higher place in the final :) Bravo Estonia! :) :) :)

[@berto5543]

This song was simply amazing

[@seymurinqilabli4299]

I love them 😍😍😍😍❤

[@johnmoynahan874]

Excellent entry from Estonia......the chemistry between Stig and Elina appeared convincing.....personally though, Norway's song just takes the edge for its dramatic feel........did you know Jake that both artists have made subsequent solo attempts to represent Estonia since....Elina came last in the national final last year and Stig 3rd in this year's renewal👍

[@ivan1991112]

I heard this song before, and I did not even know it was on Eurovision. It is a high quality music, so catchy and emotional. ❤ I think she sang better, but both vocals were great. And the combination of their voices is perfect. Probably, the 7th place is a fair result for them, but that's only because it was such a tough competition in 2015.

[@LosVaquerosReloaded]

*The real winner of 2015*

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

This entry is very memorable and catchy.

[@buddhidev7877]

I like this performance. Song is playful but sad at the same time. Great. Thanks

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

One of the best Estonian songs! Love from Azerbaijan🇦🇿❤️🇪🇪

[@user7434]

and one of the best ESC Songs

[@tampatoon1467]

Jake, it is very reminiscent of the BuckinghamNicks band's music before Stevie & Lindsay joined the Mac.I do remember thinking something was a little bit off with the Goodbye to Yesterday performance when compared to the rehearsals and SF performances. Still very good, and one of my favorites in 2015.

[@KrK-EST]

🇪🇪 Yes singing is our culture for centuries. Also most written folk songs in the world for any country, 133 000 counted several years ago (1.34 mil pop). Also i am proud that my nese represented 🇪🇪Estonia in the eurovision with the song Rändajad. (was it in 2009?)

[@anghara2001]

now you only have three to react, Australia, Belgium and Italy. Getting ready the popcorn to enjoy your reactions, specially to Belgium, I love that performance.

[@davidgonzalezlujan1325]

The best song I've ever heard. It still plays on my phone ;-)

[@joseuribe3333]

Bet lyrics of Eurovision that year, I smiled to the dog and laying naked staring at the phone will go down in Eurovision history

[@kennet7837]

Deserved to win more than Sweden in my opinion. Another Eurovision song I actually added to my playlist because it's so darn good!

[@pivodriuc]

So stylish. This one was my favorite in 2015. But man, what a strong year...

[@ptr9006]

i think the reason why there were a lot of male/female duets in 2015 was because the netherlands in 2014 ended 2nd place with a male/female duet

[@mangelo1264]

And it was good, as these duets gave us nice songs and performances. At least the contest was not full of transgender singers lol

[@ptr9006]

mangelo1264 conchita wasn't transgender she was a drag queen

[@heppolo]

the only transgender winner is still Dana International

[@lovejpopforever]

mangelo1264 Whats wrong with transgender singers? There aren't even enough. We need more LGBT stuff.

[@leok.8235]

Interesting fact: both male singers from your last 2 videos competed again this year in their national selections and both finished 2nd :D Stig Rasta went solo this time but finished 2nd to Elina Natchayeva, while Morland competed as a songwriter, he wrote the song for Rebecca who finished 2nd in Norway's selection this year. She was so much better than eventual winner Rybak. They made a huge mistake for not sending her. You should check out and react to both songs :) Stig Rasta - Home Rebecca - Who We Are

I think it has the feel of Tarantino movie soundtracks, luv it

[@lindonesc]

One of the best duets ever at ESC. Her tear at the end! What a performance. I love her perfect pronounced "Danke schön" after the performance. I say it again, what a marvelous year 2015 was. It already began fantastic with the opening ceremonies in the first semifinal and the grand final. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp-5cmaDnbVlsM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpPSmaenisedqa8

[@bernadetal9057]

For me this was and still is the winner

[@bomisosatori9906]

I love 2015 there was some goodies there

[@joex5380]

They are not a couple. The male singer wrote the whole lyrisc. And, they were at 1st spot on beeting odds at the begging. But they finished “only” at 7th.

[@MsLeipzigerin]

Thank you so much for your reactions, Jake! Watching your videos has become my breakfast routine, because they always put me in a good mood. Thank you for that and keep doing what you're doing. :) Lots of love from Estonia

This is better than I remembered.

[@DristeraCrossing0]

Yes! Thank you! :)

[@arkoudaki34]

My winner

[@elenamatkova3748]

Very interesting song, something similar to the soundtracks for the films of Tarantino.

[@nemo78]

It baffles me how this didn't end up higher than 7th. This (or Montenegro) should've won.

[@andreaesc]

When she starts crying it's just heartbreaking

[@stavrulabiou9455]

one of my favorite songs that year, i still hear it on my radio while driving :D :D :D

Her single tear !!

I remember this song and duet and I liked it so-so much!!!

[@maltesefella8705]

[@eileencorcoran3090]

Brilliant 👏 ❤

[@janameleny257]

One of my favorite Eurovision songs! It was so sincere... P.S. Did you see that Elina was crying in the end? Did you notice her tear? Thanks for reaction❤

[@Triinuuuu]

Hi, I’m from Estonia! By far one of my faves we have had. In 2015 I was truly hoping for a win but never really believed in it since there were so many great songs. This year with La Forza I genuinely believed we could win since it was so powerful song and made me love it from the second I first heard it. I used to hate opera but Elina made me have chills. Coming back to 2015 entry, I have sang this song myself and it’s really catchy. I could always see how much broken heart was poured into it. Elina Born seriously sounded like she believed in what she was singing and it was proven by the tear in the end. Amazing duo, amazing song. I hope one day they will do another song together. PS: I genuinely hoped Elina and Stig would date in 2015. It never happened tho. Now Stig has one beautiful kid and one on the way with a very beautiful woman. :)
