Singing for Estonia last year Ott Lepland was a big hit with
many fans in more ways than one. Several fans of a particular persuasion noted
how impressive Ott’s box was. His voice box I mean, of course, but let’s not be
coy here, there was as much interest in how well he appeared to fill out his
trousers as there was in how well he hit his big note. Having placed 6th
with his ballad our girl Birgit, a former Estonian Idol winner, is aiming to
follow suit. She’s got her work cut out for her though as there are 5 female
ballads competing with her to qualify. She’s singing in Estonian, which may
ultimately be her unique selling point, or be to her detriment. It’s pleasant
to hear but only moments later I’m left with no memory of how it goes, which is
never really a good thing for a song in a competition. A strong vocal
performance with good staging could help this sneak through, but at the moment
I feel it’s fighting in an overcrowded ring and has to punch in too many
directions to make any impact, which it doesn’t have the resource to do.
My score: 5 points
