Bridges is another Eurovision song this year that sounds like everything released in the last 30 years. it also sounds like an advert for car tyres. Though Alika was an amazing voice, the lyrics of this song are had to connect with. It appears to be about having wronged others and not so much people apologetic or repentant, but more about building 'bridges' over the mistakes. It is less emotional and more of a song about excusing oneself from being a person. Many will find this hard to connect to despite the awesome vocal. Such a Shame.
From working with Eurovision Royalty to being Eurovision royalty. Maarja-Liis Ilus represented Estonia at Eurovision twice before she was 17. She might not have won but she is a goddess with hair bigger than the rest of her, and what is more Eurovision than hair.
