being an introject in a system where the host will help you with fun facts about your language and culture but won't give you anything useful creates weird situations

"how do you say insomnia in estonian?" unetus (OON-eh-toos)

"how do you say 'where is the bathroom' in estonian?" im sorry i forgot that when i was introjected

Song Review: Romania

A singer with glasses??? Finally representation!

Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and on)

Personal opinion: I actually kind of like this? The song feels like a rockier and kinkier successor to Jüri Pootsmann’s Play. Both have this similar quirky feel. And this man is a good performer, too. I guess this is so far in the “songs I like but aren’t my favourites” category. Meaning, I enjoy listening to it but won’t be terribly sad if it doesn’t do well. Oh, and the “D.G.T.” part is totally catchy.

Prediction: This is similar to Play and will quite possibly get a similar result. I don’t see this as an obvious qualifier even in the semifinal that is shaping up to be pretty weak. But who knows, after all there are only 16 songs on the run. With a more solid performance with more focus on the singer and less on the strippers, this could surprise and barely qualify.

Thoughts on selection: Another one I didn’t pay much attention to. When the songs came out, they all seemed pretty demo-ish. It would’ve been beneficial to release the songs as more polished studio versions, because I found myself enjoying some of them as they came across on Spotify. Then again, I guess it’s good to know how the singers sound live from early on, to avoid disappointments you know. Of the whole selection, the song called Statues ended up in my playlist. It could have done better with a different singer, I guess. Bla Bla Bla was also fun and catchy.

[eurovision-revisited]

1997 Dublin - Number 16 - Maarja-Liis Ilus - "Keelatud Maa"

It's the second year at Eurovision in a row for Maarja, one of Eurolaul and later Eesti Laul's ever presents. Last year she got lucky, snagging the winning song when the intended singer looked like she couldn't make it. Even then she only scraped into Eurovision on a Eurolaul tie-break.

This year it's much clearer. Dominating Eurolaul 1997, Maarja-Liis Ilus bring Keelatud Maa (Forbidden Land) all the way to 8th place in the final - even if this was a little disappointing considering she'd been one of the favourites to win the entire contest, and it didn't hit the heady heights of fifth, where she'd finished in 1996. Nevertheless Estonia was becoming a Eurovision contender and Maarja was the voice driving that.

Keelatud Maa itself is a wistful ballad tinged with sadness. A lover reaching out to her partner, wanting them to adapt and not remain rooted in a past which they can't let go. It's a plea for them to move on, lest the forbidden, foggy, marshy land between them grow so impenetrable there's no way back together. That's a maturity that's not often witnessed at Eurovision; it's hauntingly poised on the threshold between encouragement and hopelessness.

Those wonderful lyrics were written by Kaari Sillamaa, the mother of Janika Sillamaa, Estonia's first ever Euro Laul winner in 1993 who nearly made it to Eurovision, but fell short in the qualification round. I've already written about her.

Maarja doesn't stop at having represented Estonia twice at Eurovision. She tried to get there twice more. She sang at Eurolaul 2004, but finished fourth. The year before that she entered Melodifestivalen in Sweden, but got eliminated in the heats. She's been spokesperson for Estonia twice and has also hosted Eesti Laul, most recently in 2022.

Beyond Eurovision, she's released 11 albums, been named as Estonia's best female singer four times, she's sung the role of Eva Péron in the Estonian production of Evita, as well as several other leading roles in musicals. She was a judge on three seasons of Eesti otsib superstari, including the season in which Jüri Pootsmann won. Maarja is absolutely one of the biggest names in Estonian music.

[introject-confessions]

that feeling when you're an introject of a real music artist who doesn't usually sing in the body's language, and you want to learn the songs he just released a couple of months ago, but the song you really want to learn doesn't have lyrics anywhere on the internet
