The fact that this has pretty much the lowest view count of all the entries on youtube is ridiculous. Literally one of the best songs this year.
Well, with words from Kerli's song "Creepshow" - "I'm from a land called secret Estonia. Nobody knows where it's at"
Maybe most people here only watch their own country's entry and the population in Estonia is just really small.
Guys, I love your country. I am from Azerbaijan. Estonia is one of my favourite countries. I want to develop myself on IT in next 3,4 years. Estonia is the best place for me. I hope I can come to Estonia in the future. And this song and singer is so amazing. She has got very strong voice and I can adapt connection between her voice and this song. Love from 🇦🇿 to this beautiful country.🇦🇿❤🇪🇪
@@pozitive.42 I hope your dream will come true. We always need IT specialists here.
this competition was never about true artistry, always about flashing and dashing bs. estonia's entry this year is excellent, amongst the best. literally the only one i feel that can rival with estonia right now (in a true artistic sense) is spain (because of the very rich instrumental and vocal depth), and maybe france (because of the poetic lyrics).
What I don't see anyone speaking about is her age. To give such a technical, mature, and charismatic performance at 20 years old is absolutely incredible.
Totally agree. At first I thought she was 30 years old, but after I saw in Wikipedia that she is that young. Incredible. My Winner ❤️
for real I love her so much
SHES 20?
Graham Norton did mention her age, but this was of course after your comment, and he also said that hers was a mature voice for 20 years old. I do hope Alika returns to sing next year or the year after :)
Everyone is sleeping on Estonia this year. This is a top 5 material song.
Almost
I don’t even care if people vote for this. Just the fact that such a classy performance made its way to Liverpool is amazing for the contest. Eurovision needs this kind of songs to keep itself honest. Much love from Greece 🇬🇷
True, ballads are not always boring
Sadly with 100% televote I can not see it qualify..
@@Hannahhuan32 this song is not only boring, but out to date. Like stuck in 2009. It's lucky even to get voted in semi lmao
@@Denis-89That’s like saying Greece, Netherlands, and Portugal all would’ve NQ’d last year if it was 100% tele
@@woodsstocks9178
Classy doesn’t mean outdated. The production & song arrangements are on point and up to date, you can hear the big differences between this and the ESC ballads 10-15 years ago.
But I agree music is subjective.
I don't care what anyone says, to me this is a masterpiece and it's going in my playlist so I can listen to it everyday, my favourite by far!
This is a masterpeace, I won't be surprised if it wins 👏
Естонії 👏👍🫶
I've been doing this since the contest. Amazing song, unfortunately underrated. Regards from Brazil!! 🇪🇪🇧🇷
I'm usually not into ballads but wow. One of my favs this year.
Don't let this queen end up underrated! Love from 🇸🇮
Thanks Slovenia from Estonia! 🇪🇪
@@usheniki_official love you!
i cant believe shes only 20 years old! Her singing makes me feel so many emotions.. she's amazing, i hope she makes it to the finals!
This is what Eurovision is all about ! Emotion ! A great voice ! A melody than invades your soul ! All together makes a possible winner ! Great entry !
Uhm, interesting, why is the Italian one basic and boring then? A little bit of consistency?
@@Mario-uw9ipI don’t think I have commented on the Italian one mate
@@Mario-uw9ip song arrangement.
@@adelnaderelkadi I’m talking about ESC fans in general
@@Hannahhuan32 ahaha not even in dreams. It’s all about geopolitics and a strong will to shitstorm a country Europeans find pathetic, let’s be honest.
Please vote for this ballad during the semi final !
Ballads like this need to be supported during semi finals 🖤
I will❤
If they don 't voted for it that means something ita roong with them not with the juries
Sory cause my contry its on ESC we can't vote
@@petarristovski8530 you can vote in the final!
@@petarristovski8530 No it is totally on lack of jury vote in semis and not the people who will but more will vote for uptempo songs. Shows why juries in semi os needed to help ballads make final and make a more diverse Eurovision grand final. Bad decision by EBU to make 100% public vote and remove jury semi vote. Will be much less ballads in grand final and more upbeat pop songs which is wrong. I enjoyed having Switzerland at Eurovision 2022 final where if was only public vote, its artist Marius Bear would not qualify.
How can this masterpiece be this underrated?
I think thas good she has big chances
Its Loreen in the middle.... 🤣🤣🤣
Ohhhh she and her song are soooo beautiful.. I think this song and scene is a masterpiece! Every scene detail, every part of the lyrics has a meaning, a very deep meaning.We need to see u in the grand final. Good luck Estonia..
Love from Azerbaijan.
Thanks from Estonia 🇪🇪 ❤
I wish a good luck to you because of Azerbaijan's song is the best this year. I so much like it. Greetings from Estonia/Tallinn. 🙂
It was only Latvia that gave Estonia 12 points this year. Lithuania (where some of my ancestors are from) should have supported them more, too.
I’m from Estonia and I’m so glad that here is a lot of good comments about our entry this year
You should be proud ❤
Mina ka! Me too! ❤🇪🇪
this is so good, you should be proud yeahh
Well, I'm glad to have written some good comments too, as yours was a lovely song, both the lyrics and the music. Greetings to Estonia from the UK 😘
@@112Allegro thanks! I’m happy that my country is in top-10! It’s so much for us
Lyrics:
Now I'm heading home to solid ground
Realized that all the lies I've told myself have died
Bring me to the place where I belong
Filled with all the memories and dreams I have ignored
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
There is one more thing you need to know
That I forgive myself for all the lies I said before
Now I see the road of leading lights
Showing me where I should go and what to leave behind
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
I remember all the things that I went through
All the lies and blurry lines and city lights I knew
Now I'm strong enough to see what lays inside
And I can feel it all
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
Have a nice day❤️
This song describes pretty well the situation i am passing through. A Depression i've had made me be out of all during a year or so. I didnt feel motivation, i felt weak and in the middle of a really toxic relationship. Today i feel more powerful but specially more convinced that i can make it through my life and pass the page, forgiving myself and building bridges.
Alika inspired me a lot, and she is not aware of how inmensely thankful i am to her🥺🥺🥺
Lets go Estonia, from Chile 🥺❤🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Chile, we will be waiting for you from Estonia! ❤🇪🇪
🙏🏼❤️ thank you! I’m with you
I wish you the best! ❤
My winner. 12 points from Italy🇮🇹🇪🇪
This is one of the best entries from Estonia 🇪🇪❤
Thanks from Estonia 🇪🇪 ❤
Nice song ✔️
Nice vocals ✔️
Nice dress ✔️
Nice hair ✔️
Nice "itself playing" piano ✔️
Totally a Eurovision entry.
QUEEN! What an emotional ballad! Let Estonia start preparing for Eurovision 2024 now, because ALIKA IS COMING TO WIN. 12 punkti läheb Eestile. Good luck in Liverpool. 🇪🇪💙
🔥🔥🔥
True, her voice is so beautiful
She probobaly won't win😭😭
THANKS (I from Estonia) ❤❤❤ 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
@@Kai-wh3vi yeah, but she still has chance I think
So underrated ! Love you from France 🇫🇷 top 5 in juries vote in the final 👍
EUROPE STOP SLEEPING ON THIS MASTERPIECE
a great song
a great voice
a great performance
this is coming top 10 in liverpool!🇪🇪
Hope that she will qualify to GF, because we have 100% tele in semis 🥶
I hope 🙏🙏🙏
@@NarodowyPasiak remember to vote for her then 😂
Well its difficult...Nice song but its only another ballad, sorry
@@esccse30 not a typical ESC ballad!
STRONG SONG! ❤ESTONIA❤ winner this year! Incredible vocal! 💓Alika is so beautiful and talent💓 Good luck in eurovision!
Congratulations to all, we have found our Jury winner for Eurovision 2023!!!!!!!!!
People see Loreen do her rehashed version of Euphoria and go crazy with hype, yet completely sleep on this beautiful piece.. Smh. I think once people see the live version of this on Eurovision, theyll like it more
I love is my favorit estonia 🇪🇪 2023💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
We needed a masterpiece like this this year. Good luck Estonia! Love from Albania!
That was such a strong performance ! This for sure will be a top 10 contender. Good Luck Estonia 🇪🇪
As someone with anxiety, i find this song quite personal. This song talks about how you should not be afraid to reach out to someone like a close friend to vent your anxiety out to. The “bridges” are a metaphor for connecting to people you can rely on. It’s so beautifully composed and I think she can finish top 10 definitely. 🫶🏻🇪🇪
Thnx, Then you also should Listen Monika Linkytė - Stay Lithuanian ESC 2023.
This is a quality song performed by a really good singer. Well done, Estonia! Hope this act will get very far in the competition.
@Tautvydas Drūts both lovely songs
✌️
Beautiful message, and an outstanding song❤
And the fact that Estonia piano is playing the song for Estonia is just clever. ❤🇪🇪
⚠Dear eurovision. I think the rules have to be changed this year! 12 points are not enough for this amazing song Estonia brought to us. I have no words for this masterpiece! At least 13 points from Germany ❤🖤
Jury winner in the Grand Final, I'm calling it here. Her voice is sensational. 🇬🇷❤🇪🇪
Possible But so thought fo Amanda last year
Her voice is incredible
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE! 12 wonderful points from Ukraine!!❤️🇺🇦❤️🇪🇪❤️
Thanks from Estonia 🇪🇪
👏✊️👍
Thank you from estonia ❤
This could easily be a Bond movie theme song lol
Да, очень похоже)
YES !!! I thought this first time I heard it !
Or a Disney princess
Wow! 12 points from Poland 🇵🇱❤️🇪🇪
❤️🤗❤️🤗
@@escahmet7487 ❤️😃

Why she is underrated? Her voice is the strongest this year❤
💯
Her voice is great, but her song is so boring.
@@justanorwegian1780 Listen carefully to the lyrics then it might not be boring. Atfirst the song was boring for me but then after listening multiple times I started loving it.
@@MRM_YT still boring, the lyrics is mid at best.
VOICE! Fantastic performance! Extreme range. 12 points from me in Norway🥰🤗
You had a super song on 2013 with Margaret . I think will be the same story with that girl.
Omg Estonia you’re definitely in my top 5 after that now we’re getting somewhere
If Sweeden relased this song for Eurovision 2023 it will be 1st on list and probabbly a winner. Justice for little countries and gems they have. Amazing artist and performance 😍
Alika and this song is too good for Sweden….
@@Hannahhuan32 as a swede i totally agree yeah mhm
That's an excellent point @Snivy Cage. Yes, amazing artist and performance - and, importantly, the song itself 😉😘
@HANNAH I'm inclined to agree. Most of the Swedish song entries are very catchy, but most sound very "Eurovision"-ish as opposed to having any significant originality. This song was original, and perhaps the Austrian entry was too.
@@112Allegro agree 🥲 Recent Swedish entry I think the best is last year‘s, coz Cornelia wrote her own song. But still, I would like to see more variety of Swedish music in ESC.
One of the most impact songs of this year! What a voice, what a feeling! Congrats Estonia. 12 points from Portugal!
Thank you from Estonia! ❤️
So soft and strong voice at the same time! Love it!
shes so good idc what yall say beautiful song
The best song so far 🤍 happy to see Estonia back in the game.
Omg, her voice...❤❤❤Can't believe I did not listen to this before, cause everywhere are Cha cha and Unicorn😂
My favorite song. Good luck Estonia in Liverpool. 12 points 🇪🇸❤🇪🇪
Me too 💓
Hands down one of my favourites. Brought me to tears.
12 points from finland!
🇫🇮❤️🇪🇪
Wow love it! Greetings from Lithuania 🇱🇹❤️🇪🇪
I'm in love with Alika's vocals! Such a perfection.
Love from Lithuania 🇱🇹 🤍 🇪🇪
Very nice and dynamic ballad with nice lyrics. Her voice is amazing and the last part is great
🇬🇷❤️🇪🇪
Top 3 for me. Incredibly raw power and emotion. Much love from the US.
Remember to vote in the semi!
Alika voz perfecta en vivo , bridges para unirnos a todos , apoyando a Estonia en la segunda semifinal.
Why is no one is talking about this song?! THIS IS FIRE 🤩🤩🤩🤩
12 points from Spain 🇪🇸👏🏼🇪🇪
There is something in this song, it gives me goosebumps
I think I forgot to breathe, her talent is outrageous, absolutely incredible performance. She has the right energy in her voice, she sounds confident and delivers a beautifully composed song. Hope Estonia wins!
This is a real grower - its climbed the ranks to be in my top 5. Deserves much more attention than its getting.
This is the first song I've listened to out of all the entries so far where the vocals got me instantly.
Good luck Estonia in May.
Alright THAT'S how you elevate a song in a Live performance, what a voice and passion. A very strong entry, very underrated so far but I see this doing quite well in the end
Yes Yes Yes .
Thank you Estonia for great choice. She is amazing woman with great and deep voice. I believe that she will make big bridges to heart of Europe.
12 points from Azerbaijan to lovely Estonia 🇦🇿🇪🇪 . Good luck dears
Proud Estonian here

hopefully this will do very well with the jury vote
Verse 1]
Now I’m heading home
To solid ground
Realized that all the lies I’ve told myself have died
Bring me to the place
Where I belong
Filled with all the memories and dreams I have ignored
[Chorus]
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
[Verse 2]
There is one more thing
You need to know
That I forgive myself for all the lies I said before
Now I see the road
Of leading lights
Showing me where I should go and what to leave behind
[Chorus]
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
[Bridge]
I remember all the things that I went through
All the lies and blurry lines and city lights I knew
Now I'm strong enough to see what lays inside
And I can feel it all
[Chorus]
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
This simple has everything, it worths top 10 in Liverpool. First time voting for Estonia from 2013 😍🇪🇪
It's the only title I'm totally a fan of among those who were selected on Saturday! Alika was the best choice for Estonia, so congratulations to them for this choice!
Her voice is insaneee 🤩
Of all the baltic states' songs, I liked this one the most! Feel like it has the best buildup, can feel the emotion in my veins. Good luck Estonia from Croatia! 🇭🇷🇪🇪
Add me as another croatian that thinks this is best song! Haha
My winner ❤️ 12 points from Greece!!
Thank you for sending this masterpiece to Eurovision Estonia. Love from Turkey🇹🇷❤️🇪🇪

This is wonderful, text, melody, she... Love from Serbia!
One of my favorites so far this year
ESTONIA FOR THE WINN
