"The small Baltic state of Estonia regained its independence in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. It was one of the Eastern European nations that joined the European Union in 2004."Hannah's view

I don't like this. It is a joke entry, and a bad one at that. These men can't sing. They are like drunk mates that decided they could do well in a karaoke contest. The plain truth is; no - you can't.
But it's not just the singing that bugs me... its the lyrics. Its more like a shopping list than a song. In English, most of the verses just say, 'beans pods, cake, lobster, that's enough, that's enough.' I'm sorry... but what kind of song has that utter RUBBISH in its lyrics, let alone making its lyrics up OUT OF that rubbish. Its ridiculous. I don't like it.

So the song is called Leto Svet (Summer Light) but it's about food... Confusing, or what? We stole the esctoday podcast title for their Estonian chat but to be honest, it fits. They won with the only song since the turn of the millennium that I don't remember. I loved Sandra Oxenryd's entry in 2006 and Gerli Padar's entry last year wasn't that bad but this... well it's indescribable. I hate it... I really do.
