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.

[@oglukzkashan]

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

[@sortub9693]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@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 ;)

[@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

[@tomxofnfifjfn]

IVE BEEN WAITING DOR THIS, DESERVED TO WIN

[@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.

[@Lucillee688]

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

[@francoseminario]

My winner of 2015, lyrics - composition , Mäns who?

[@tobiasferrari7451]

Yankoh *Zelmerlow , you're welcome ;)

[@sushi777300]

å not ä 🙄

[@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]

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! ❤️👏👏❤️

[@JaNeZoKu]

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

[@DristeraCrossing0]

And so fun that the male reactions are about her voice, when the girls are all about Stig Rästä. :) Love the song!

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

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

[@user7434]

and one of the best ESC Songs

[@peterjovanovic3553]

Estonia was my personal winner of ESC2015. :)

[@tihk89]

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

[@silviagugles]

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

[@lemonjuice9529]

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

[@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.

[@Mickey-oj4ee]

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

[@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👍

[@edlee7652]

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

[@seymurinqilabli4299]

I love them 😍😍😍😍❤

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

This entry is very memorable and catchy.

[@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

[@berto5543]

This song was simply amazing

[@pilip4972]

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

[@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!

[@buddhidev7877]

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

[@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

[@pivodriuc]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@sanya1010100]

Only 2 left until Italy. It's coming! I think that crowd NEVER was so active before lol, they were so loud.

[@RubyChiang]

This is better than I remembered.

[@LosVaquerosReloaded]

*The real winner of 2015*

[@DristeraCrossing0]

Yes! Thank you! :)

[@bernadetal9057]

For me this was and still is the winner

[@bomisosatori9906]

I love 2015 there was some goodies there

[@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❤

[@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

[@arkoudaki34]

My winner

[@andreaesc]

When she starts crying it's just heartbreaking

[@migueltrujillo9963]

If you have a chance, watch the semifinal performance. They were even better, particularly Stig.

[@stavrulabiou9455]

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

[@catrionacolville2192]

Jake, you've done 1st, 2nd and 6th, so all that's left is Australia, Belgium and Italy! Watch for SuRie in the Belgian performance.

[@maxx6299]

You probably didn't notice, but Elina started to cry while singing the final part of the song and a tear dropped thru her cheek. That was certainly the most emotional moment of ESC'15. But she should be praised for her ability to cry at command, right when the camera is pointing at her. The same thing happened in the semi-final.

[@joseuribe3333]

Massimo Sardo most emotional was Polina choking up after she finished, seeing Poland perform and Polina saying hi to her child

[@sergiusyo7989]

That's what I call quality. What an amazing performance, I would like tihs to win more that Heroes (sorry).

[@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.

[@TruEcho]

Are you gonna do this on the 2014 contest aswell? 😁💖

[@robisadiaza402]

Stig ( the guy ) also wrote the Estonian entry the following year 2016 which unfortunately you didn’t like and came dead last. Elina ( the girl ) is Jüri Pootsmann’s ( Estonian artist 2016 ) girlfriend, They’re all connected, ❤️

[@ankhefenra]

Well, everyone in Estonia is connected, since there's so few of us. If someone you met today for the first time doesn't turn out to be your grandma's classmate's son's friend's sister then something is seriously wrong.

[@fujiko1601]

She is not Jüri's girlfriend. They are friends and released a song together. At least that's what she said when she was asked.

[@horgenslund]

She's clearly NOT Juri's girlfriend. 😂👀😂 Not like that anyway

[@fatihvayvayl-yb7vz]

2015 estonya .ya turkiyeden 10 puan.🇹🇷

[@maltesefella8705]

2015 was one of the best years and I wanted one of the duets who finished 7/8 to win. Can you please react to Kewkba by Janice Mangion, it is from the 2017 Maltese nf. Thank you :)

[@annabagirova6251]

Love this!!! All performances in top 10 except Latvia and Norway for me were great!!! But all deserved!

[@kristapsridus9807]

Anna Bagirova well... latvia were stunning!!! I am saying that because I am from there and we deservered even better.. But thats imo..

[@annabagirova6251]

Kristaps Ridus I love Aminata, she is a great and strong singer, but I don’t like her song in 2015, same with Norway 🤷🏽‍♀️ but I think she deserved her 6 place!

[@vesakonkelo9519]

Estonias are best friend/brother/Sister for 🇫🇮

[@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. :)

[@olenkav4584]

please look at the Eurovision 2017 first semifinal monaco Ukrainian singer who opened the Eurovision in Ukraine. your reactions are the coolest

[@littlejohnuk]

Just brilliant - check out the video that's very nordic estonian dark noir.

[@nemo78]

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

[@petrtrachowski1888]

Pretty nice

[@vladimirvlajko5629]

If there wasnt her in a song.. He could pack his bags in semi final

[@eurovisionben9727]

He a famous singer and he found her on KZbin

[@kuksike]

Yes, but she was already well-known in Estonia, because Elina was runner-up in 2012 Estonian Pop Idol

[@jcakazzzmorfeozzz1633]

React to Kerli - Spirit Animal from the Eesti Laul 2017. It was the song that left at second place (close to win).

[@michaelmittet1920]

The song was about a one night stand

[@OshawottLuke]

The girl deserved that 7th place, but I felt like they could've worked a lot more the guy's performance. I didn't enjoy it before she started crying.

[@wali3944]

#Luke the guy wrote that song

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

I disagree. I feel like they are both great, but the guy is even better.

[@BeeRodz]

like Norway, it’s a beautiful breakup song (with a great video to match) and a great duet. Too bad neither Stig or Elina would come back as solo artists. 😒 Okay, the vacuum effect is now going from medium to high. By now, you figured the remaining 6 (Australia, Belgium, Italy, Latvia, Russia, and Sweden). You already know where Sweden and Russia ended up. Prepare for great songs to be friggin classics!

[@LeNaSmileyStar]

The song is really good, quite typiical duett-scenario... But the quality of his voice is not the best... maybe it was this performance... Anyways..compared to many of the other male singers.. nope..

[@kinaskatinaszalia]

It's a decent song but it seems that Estonia wanted to repeat the success of the Netherlands from 2014. Somehow this performance echos that one in more ways than one.

[@oxcaxx]

One of my favourite entries ever!

[@mikekevoian342]

Jakee pleeeeeeease react to elina ivaschenko 1994

[@Its_Oliver_]

This was overrated, yet underrated at the same time.

[@jordantanmateos1821]

Israel, Australia, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Sweden so much better songs
