These types of songs are the essence of Eurovision, every year we continue to have a some song like this and I hope we never miss them! Pure heart ♥️

[@klarinetta]

In my opinion by far the best entry. Very mature performance and in no way can I tell that she is only 16 and 1/2 years old here.

[@JorgeJRO]

The youngest artist that night, only 16, and one of the best performances that year. She was brilliant looking and singing on stage.

[@andreasforsberg570]

Jorge Juan Rodríguez Ortega so she was only 15 the year before? (With the song Kaelake hääl) Started early ...

[@JorgeJRO]

@@andreasforsberg570 Yes, she was.

[@pogodziej]

Hold up? So the year before she was 15. Wasn't that forbidden? Or was the age limit increased after?

[@morbidsearch]

@@pogodziej You can be 15 if you're turning 16 in the same year

[@JeSuisRene]

@@morbidsearch correct, the rule where you had to be 16 on the night was introduced in 2003

[@bensentertainmentchannelof6951]

I hope that I’m not the only one who thinks that song should have won

[@ajoshaul]

I loved when each country sang in their own language. And I remember this song giving me goose bumps. In fact Italy gave 12 points ;)

[@sebastiaanm9122]

I totally agree. Much too much english nowadays :((( I really hope we will go back to teh previous rules

[@arrosblanc]

I remember thinking "it sounds like Laura Pausini" when I watched the show. No surprise you gave her 12 points

[@JeSuisRene]

Yes: some other countries also gave her high marks. The United Kingdom gave her 10 points, and Denmark, France and Ireland gave her 8 points.

[@AlirioAguero2]

@@sebastiaanm9122 Unfortunately, previous rules led to The UK, Ireland, and Malta always being in top 5 or close by, because everyone could understand them. I am also in favor of hearing more languages in ESC, but it can't be forced. This year's results are perhaps a positive sign of other languages gaining a momentum.

[@Zedd1500]

​@sebastiaanm9122 I agree. The EBU needs to revert back to the old rules and return the Eurovision to its roots to make it more interesting again.

[@alexanderjohansson85]

Beautiful girl, voice and song. One of Estonia's best.

[@eurovision50]

Oh she's so beautiful...

[@adamabagina]

Most definitely should have been in the top 5

[@grambi]

Simply beautiful: song and singer

[@ufuksnmez98]

This song is proof that Estonian language is magical 😍

[@eurovisiopedia]

Yes bro

[@ERTChimpanzee]

I'm Estonian and you made me cry. Check out Ott Lepland-Kuula.

[@ufuksnmez98]

@@ERTChimpanzee Kuula is my 4th i think

[@ERTChimpanzee]

@@ufuksnmez98 Kuula means listen.

[@ufuksnmez98]

@@ERTChimpanzee yess i know 😍

[@kennet7837]

Goosebumps!

[@ketsunoalex4600]

Beautiful, should have won back then. Estonia is the best eurovision country and it has my favorite language, please sing in it more often. love from Poland

[@tourmaline07]

I felt she should have won in '96 , I prefer that song to Eimear Quinn - but this year the competition was too fierce , I reckon she'd have been good for 4 points this year in my ranking (7th)

[@henrikrdstherchristie9553]

One of my all time favourite Eurovision-songs. Just beautiful.

[@nightrider998]

I love that song. Amazing.

[@JeSuisRene]

Good on the United Kingdom for giving this 10 points and Italy for giving this 12.

[@stevealexR1]

I loved this at the time - still listen to it frequently on my Eurovision compilations. Greetings from England!

[@MikkelJankovic]

Masterpiece

[@bjl301]

Fantastic eurovision year it was! This entry is in my top5 along with The Uk, Italy, Denmark and France

[@Manne18]

When you didnt needed a show and more than 2 backing singers...

[@robertlower6212]

It is the Eurovisioon Song Contest! These songs are well orchestrated and performed! The past 20 years it's all about light show, wind machines, dodgy fashion .... and all that hair! Most of the songs are so similar and easily forgettable!

[@BagznBirdz]

@@robertlower6212 that's an accurate description of modern Eurovision. I call it the " Eurovision striptease competition". The more ass hangs out the better the song does.

[@Zedd1500]

Another wonderful entry from Estonia. I hope we hear the beautiful Estonian language in Eurovision again. Hästi tehtud, Eesti! 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪

[@davidkasquare]

Such a lovely song, beautifully performed. Check up the translation to the lyrics as well, it will give you a deeper experience when listening to the song!

[@escfan2706]

In the 1997 rewatch on twitter I gave this 8 points, a truly underrated entry

[@X37DMB]

i gave this my 12... love it

[@krystlewhite7897]

Lovely song and a wonderful voice. This would have done so much better in a lower quality year. 1997 really was a great year.

[@uglybastar-d]

Strong 90s vibes

[@miguelcosta5969]

The best song in Eurovision 1997. The more I listen to it the more I like it. Estonia should have won that year.

[@JeSuisRene]

It was a VERY strong year, but I think the right song won.

[@surprisedadrianlol]

Uk and Turkey's entries was great, but this has something special that makes me placing this 1st.

[@ufuksnmez98]

1997 was such a strong year that had so many winning candidates. I'd like to see Turkey, Italy, Estonia, Spain, Poland, Greece, Cyprus winning, too. 😍

[@oiooi6460]

Top ten maybe but neither song or performance was a winner. It doesn't really.go anywhere

[@hankalu8434]

That's was best Estonia entry imo and year before in duet colour of her voice is priceless so light and powerfull same time . but it was glorious times of of esc so many great vocalists and compositions live music orchestra not what start in 1999 more and more poor and cheap esc

[@davetaylor6971]

I couldn't agree more Hanka Lu :-)

[@henrikrdstherchristie9553]

That and Urban Symphony - Rändajad.

[@andymar9117]

UK, Italy and Estonia, the best songs of this year.

[@catwomanh3603]

Gorgeous 💞 just a beautiful song & i preferred this one better than the winner...& i'm from UK 🇬🇧 wasn't a fan of Love shine a light 😒

[@panhrgerardlempilainen4570]

В 1997 м я болел за вас.

[@default78643]

That hair should be given 12 points

[@bensentertainmentchannelof6951]

Italy give her 12 points

[@voloshanca]

Love this, my personal 3d place of 1997! ❤

[@surprisedadrianlol]

My favourite entry from one of the strongest countries in my opinion. Should've won 😐

[@user-mb3dx5fl9f]

I ve always thought that Estonian is one of the most melodic languages in the world alongside Italian.

[@naewsqrg]

Understandable. Actually I think it's because both Estonian and Italian have long vowels, and melodically this sounds more pleasant, because it seems the language follows the music better.

[@user-mb3dx5fl9f]

facts. big L for Dutch and Arabic@@naewsqrg

[@robertasl2254]

I like her voice better than Celine dion

[@tremulator]

Lyrics please! I'm curious what they're about, because I love it how they sound!

[@tremulator]

@@user-xn2yz7wu3c Beautiful. Thank you very much.

[@carlobrotto7132]

Political circus nowadays, political circus 27 yrs ago looking at what mediocre stuff the EBU provided a robbed 1st place for...😄 ! And the astonishing beauty of this masterpiecing song still is the best proof of that after so long time !!

[@davepowell4489]

One of the best Eurovision entries - so of course came nowhere!

[@JeSuisRene]

I wouldn't call 8th in a field of 25 nowhere, especially given this was a very, very strong year. So strong I struggle to put together a top 25!

KEEEELATUD MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@joelcustavo7317]

Hyvä sävel, hyvä laulaja. Ilmeisesti laulu kertoo kyllästymisestä mieheen nimeltä Mikso (liekö Mikso nukahtanut kesken aktin), koskapa kohdassa 1:45 - 1:58 neitonen laulaa ihan suomeksi pehmeällä ja kauniilla äänellään: "Voin kylmää kyrvälle heittää. Ei tunne Mikso. Ei kuule, ei näe."

[@riinu4224]

No Mikso! 😂 These words are: Võid küll mu kõrvale heita. Ei tunne mind sa, ei kuule, ei näe. Sind mõistan siiski. Taas eilses viibid ... :-)

[@riinu4224]

In English: You can come next to me. You dont know me, you dont hear me, you dont see me ...

[@panhrgerardlempilainen4570]

Интересно как сложилась судьба этой певицы.

[@saranchaisong971]

after this eurovision, she release international album call "First in line". this album successful in Asia and latin america.

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Best voix mais la musique ne m'entraîne pas

Мне эстонка понравилась больше всех и в то время и сейчас ничего не изменилась в тч и эта песня.

[@abrahansaezsanchez9191]

No está mal la canción,aunque un poco noña

[@oiooi6460]

Pretty song. Lovely girl. Never more than lower top ten tho

[@wtfyoulookinatmane5013]

eurovision used to be great ..now its just political circus

[@davidkasquare]

MEGA (If you know what I mean) 😉😉

[@jlhabitan50]

How so?

[@user-mb3dx5fl9f]

@@Toni-oy1vq not really like compare that or Fly on the Wings of Love or Celine Dion's song to Netta or this years sex obsessed Italian rockers. Eurovision used to produce decent songs back then. Both melodic and meaninful.

[@youthful6098]

A political freakshow or the paralympics of music.

[@jsjs744]

She was overrated two year in row by juries.
