Eurovision 2003 - Number 28 - Kerli featuring Locatellis - "Let's Go"

2003 marks the debut of one of the National Final fan's favourites. Welcome to Kerli Kõiv, not competing at EuroLaul for her first attempt to make it, but at Melodifestivalen. Here she's paired with female rap duo Locatellis to form a cut-down, Spice Girls influenced, manufactured experience with a smattering of Spanish.

Let's Go may be a derivative and absolutely off-the-production-line party song, but it's addictive and all three of them seem to be having huge amounts of fun on stage. Interestingly the song is written in part by Jonas Liberg - the creative brain behind Latvia's 2008 Eurovision entry Wolves of the Sea

It's a calling card for Kerli (she is on the line after all) and it's certainly one that got her noticed. However the televoters of Sweden were less impressed. It came 7th out of the 8 songs in Heat 2. Not a great start, but the A&R men were watching as were the folks back home in her native Estonia.

In 2004 she entered EuroLaul and finished second with a song that pushed ever further into the public eye. Shortly after that she signed her first record deal - with Def Jam records of all record companies. Her aesthetic was indie. Skater girl at the peak years of Avril Lavigne. Her focus was then away from Estonia and Sweden and more about what her label wanted her to do - which wasn't what she wanted at all. Many singles and an album followed before she wriggled free from Island/Def Jam and got fully back in control of her music.

Her entries to Eesti Laul resumed in 2016 and was almost instantly making an impression again. I'm certain she'll be in a future top 48. For now here's one of her covers from the Island/Def Jam years - a cover of Bauhaus's She's in Parties from 2007

Prime Video's Cruel Intentions ended with multiple cliffhangers to set up a S2. I wondered if it was going to end like OG Dangerous Liaisons / CI movie with "Sebastian's" death but I guess that is being saved if the show is renewed (or scrapped entirely like the French Dangerous Liaison's Netflix movie)

also it’s so funny bc in contrast 250cc 2007 is like Jorge beefing with half the grid (even tho he’s still slaying to abnormal degrees for a normal person bc duh it’s Jorge) and Dovi having the weirdest year ever where he’s simultaneously not having such a great start to his year as the previous year BUT he’s bringing a (seemingly) new kind of intensity slash perseverance or whatever about the fights for podiums/wins themselves, a more ‘no u are not getting past me<3’ energy to the proceedings which he didn’t have before
