Masterfully, Estonians voted the best singer off from the first final of the second season of “Estonia In Search For A Superstar” the local equivalent of X Factor and American Idol.

Keit (pictured on the right), you can cry if you want to, but this is not your party, anymore. Well, on the more “gleeful” side, Anna-Liisa Supp (on the left), one of the best among last year’s contestants, was voted off in a similar case where talent and the performance itself meant little to the public. Maybe they’re too mature for the teenage oriented Superstar show where posing and almost passing for a talent is something to strive for.

Or is it that the house/soul loving part of the audience missed Keit’s performance which was first and then, as they found the general level of talent paper thin, switched the channel never returning. Well it may be the case that they’re poor as well; but I can’t even vaguely imagine who votes anyway. Just friends? Is it then really about having a strong orkut network?

Anyway, I hope that Keit finds her way through (and perhaps emigrates from Big Bad Taste Land Estonia). For instance, Anna-Liisa Supp added a follow-up to her wonderful “Bigger than Everything” on her myspace recently. That’s exactly what happens (good music!) when people get to do what they like/want and dedicate themselves to the cause.

Yes, I wouldn’t have dared to imagine this disappointment of results.
