Estonia’s
Uku Suviste has been particularly elusive this Eurovision season. He took a break from social media right after he won
Eesti Laul for the second time in a row. Now he’s opened up to our Deban Aderemi.
Uku Suviste interview at Eurovision 2021
“The Lucky One” featured on our nightly Instagram Live show ‘Open Up’ from Rotterdam. Uku explained his feelings about not being chosen again to represent Estonia internally.
“At the end, in the grand finale (of Eesti Laul) I even wished for somebody else to go to Eurovision”. However, the man persevered and now he is singing for Estonia in Rotterdam.

Denver couple J.D. Gonzales and Jessica Higgins rolled their eyes when they saw people sharing the poem “And the People Stayed Home” on social media at the start of the pandemic last year. The hopeful, positive spin on the shutdown felt unrealistic to them. “It annoyed us like the natural cynics that we were,” Gonzales says with a laugh.
“People who were already struggling with things in their personal lives mental health problems, grief, loss, abusive relationships all those issues would be worsened by quarantine,” Higgins says. While Gonzales and Higgins hoped that the pandemic would bring mental health conversations to the forefront, it became clear that the topic would not garner nearly as much airplay in the national conversation as it demanded.
This is the best news we have heard in almost a year. Last year was so hard on everyone. We missed out on mostly everything that we all enjoy. The Summer was a wash out, no graduations, proms, festivals, basically anything that involved a large or a larger group of people was cancelled. We made it through that. Now, some light seems to be a the end of the tunnel.

Governor Walz said that he plans on making an announcement later this morning. Usually when he says that he s going to make an announcement regarding the turning of the dial, it s not in our favor. But this time looks fairly promising. With the numbers in positive cases on the decline and the amount of vaccinations that have already been given, and expectation of more doses on the way, this could look close to normal soon.
