Ott Lepland is a beloved artist of Estonia.
"Kuula" was translated into English, Russian and Spanish by Stanislav Bulganin www.facebook.co....
In Estonia Ott Lepland has won everything that could be won: Estonian Idol in 2009; the lead role in High School Musical in 2010; the show Laulupealinn (Singing Capital) in 2011, where he represented his family's hometown of Kärdla; and Eesti Laul, the Estonian national selection of the Eurovision Song Contest, in 2012 with a song he wrote himself.
He has always beaten the competition by an impressive margin. In the final of Eesti Laul, for example, he received 67% of the votes.
Ott was already well known in Estonia when he was still a child. He released four albums of children's songs and performed in the theatre, but left the limelight when he became a teenager and focussed on his studies of music. The result is here: he is one of the most respected vocalists in Estonia, an excellent pianist, and the author of some of the biggest radio hits of recent years.
Ott's strengths are his powerful voice and down-to-earth demeanour. He is not a show-off, but a true and serious artist. He may be a little reserved, but it is this trait that makes people take him seriously and gives him the charm that has brought him the love of his audiences.
Ott was born on 17 May 1987 in Tallinn. He has released two albums that were aimed at the Estonian market and contained many songs he had written himself.
The first book about Ott, Lubage mul olla. Ott Lepland (Let Me Be. Ott Lepland) was published at the end of 2010. A part of the sales revenue is transferred into a grant fund, which helps young people study singing. The grant recipients are picked by Ott Lepland himself. He also donated the 20,000 euros he won on Laulupealinn to Kärdla Town for charity.
One of the best songs in Eurovision ever!!! And respect for Estonians for singing it in own language at Eurovision.
If he wins tonight or not will have no influence to me. He has for 1 Million % the best song and the best voice in Baku. I wish him the very best for his life and his career. May he sell 500 Million records and reach the hearts, souls and minds of people worldwide. I love this song and his beautiful voice very much
He was my favourite...greetings from Croatia. :)
thank you for the english version, though the original estonian lyrics had something special, a special kind of musicality, a rare thing
I'm Christian and these words mean so much for me. Thank you Aapo Ilves, thank you for those, who translated this song to the other languages! God Bless You all :)
Good luck Ott, in the final! :)
This piece of art is desperately higher than Eurovision itself. It doesn’t need to compete. Eurovision doesn’t deserve this masterpiece. It is for those who CAN hear. 😉
Respect for the most humble song in Eurovision ever .. Bless you beautifull Ott x
He has an angelic voice and this song is fu**ing amazing! This man have to win Eurovision!
This song is sooo magic😍
And we can hear it in 4 languages💕
Estonian (original)❤
Russian❤
English❤
Spanish❤
And all these versions are PERFECT🔥
his voice is so special... the world should know this genius, one of my favourite male voices ever
Ott Leland sings this beautifully in every language. He should have won in 2012. He has an awesome range
Even though I'm a native English speaker, I think like this song much better in Estonian. I was moved to tears the first time I heard it, and constantly get shivers whenever I listen to it again.
There are 4 versions of Kuula by Ott - English, Russian, Spanish and Estonian :)
Go Eesti! Definitely one of the best songs this year! 12 points from Latvia!
*In recent years, Estonia has sent several diamonds to Eurovision* 💎💎💎

Eventhough I didn't understood it on Estonian, I loved and felt the song after I heard it for the first time! Great ballad! It sounds best on Estonian, great performance by Ott!
There was no better singer, no better song. For me he is the clear winner of yesterday. This song and his voice will be a part of my life
His english is really good. Usually estonians tend to have very strong accent. Im from estonia and have to listen to this song at least once a day, because it is really touching my heart.:)
How the hell are there dislikes to this? I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! ---- I HEAR YOU OTT!!!!
LOVE FROM IRELAND xxx
Very great song and a fantastic voice. The best song I ever heard in 42 years of Eurovision. His performance on thursday was so exciting, that I voted three times for him. Sure I will vote today for him. For me the very clear winner is Estonia, what else?
Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany
I fell in love with this so much I cry everytime when I listen to this. Greetings from Finland, I really need to visit Tallinn someday again, it's a beautiful city♥ And Ott is one great singer.
Estonian and English versions are the best, such a wonderful melody, lyrics and artist's voice. Just awesome
it was one of the most beatyful songs and a amazing voice,
greetings from Holland
So many months after the ESC 2012 still listening this song with the same love and affection as many months before the contest when I was sure it would win!
So magical...You have my votes in the final.Good luck from Lithuania
this is the most beautifull balade this year:)
the english version sooooo gooooood! greating from London.LOVE YOUR VOICE...
To me the best eurovison entry there has ever been. And to hear it in english, oh my word, phew, some lucky woman is gonna have a happy life listening to that voice.. Ott, you are truly amazing. Thank you for giving my ears an amazing 3 minutes :)
Ott......this is a truly magical song............thank you.....greetings from Ireland
Why is Ott not famous by now.... I voted for Portugal tonight (ESC2017) This is still my favourite ESC song of all time
Why are u saying that u wrote for portugal when u are talking bout ott?
Wonderful song!! It makes me happy and sad at the same time! I love it! Best song in ESC! Love to you Ott Lepland!
Such a lovely soothing voice. My fave song from the all the eurovision. I voted for him
Wonderful!
I have spent the past 2 weeks teaching myself the Estonian version of this song (I'm from the UK), but I honestly can't decide if the English version or the Estonian version is more beautiful.
Ott Lepland, you are an incredibly gifted singer and Estonia should be proud to have someone with your talent.
Very nice song and voice! Good luck Ott, in the final! :)....The best songs, the best!
This song changed my life... thank you Ott!!! You are my winner.... thank you again!
I love his voice...and this song is also so powerful!
Oh this is also beautiful! I loved it! -3
I'm from Finland and "Kuuuuuuuuulaaaaaaaa"! Ott Lep Land!!!!
I loved the original but to hear him sing and understand the lyrics, just so good. Also his voice hits all the good feels inside me.
It doesn't matters which version is better. Both of them are the one of the best in eurovision! Good luck in the final! Greetings from Lithuania:)
I love this song in every variation. Great song!!!!
Best song of the year-good luck to Estonia from neighbors
I just love this Guy and his song
A really beautiful song that should have won the Eurovision. It's a shame that he didn't sing part of the song in English as I'm certain it would have gained a whole lot more votes. Still the winner for myself.
Amazing song, amazing voice...greetings from Liverpool UK
Fantastic performance, deserved a much higher place than 6th. Regardless, he made many new fans, myself including. Best regards from Canada.
these are my two favourites too
Beautiful song. I am voted for her in eurovision. Congratulation from France ;)
God what a voice...he singing just for you or seems to be...Didnt care for male singer much....until now. Male version of Karen Carpenter...she could make me cry with beautiful songs like this one...& he, like her not only sings it he lives it too. MAGICAL
His voice is SICK! His tone and vibrato are awesome! One of my favorites of Eurovision, by far!
I agree that this song is very beautiful... Thank you for your real-honest comments...
HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY, OTT LEPLAND !!!
It's a wonderful song, for me one of the greatest ESC songs ever. Ott Lepland is a great singer and can write beautiful songs like this. He deserves to be much better known in other countries, too.
didn't thnk it could get any better but it did, english version fantastic
A beautiful version of the ''Kuula''
I honestly believe if he had sung the English version of this at Eurovision he would have won.
Really love this song, good luck from Greece!!
Loves and kisses from Estonia
I love kuula, I have no idea what it said and now I love it even more!!But I'm glad he chose his mother language!!!
Good luck cuuute Ott!!!:):):)
Beautiful song! It should be in the Finals!!
Hopefully Estonia will no longer be close to last place at the finals this year!
I will vote for him. 12 points from Sweden
It's always interesting to see and hear singers with voices like this, more so if they come from small countries. I agree that English version is totally different song than original. But, even if text is not the same (and it is more evident in Spanish version. It is beyond any reasonable explanation why would anyone use words that even native Spanish speakers do nor know meaning), true power of this song lies in melody. Combine it with Ott's voice, words like those in original song and this one alike, and strength and feelings that Ott can so easily communicate - and you get something that goes through every boundary. You then get a song that becomes timeless memory of human nature...
I do not understand his native language; I speak only Croatian, English and Italian. But, first time when I heard "Kuula" I was struck by everything I said here. Ott, if you read this, just continue this way!
Ott has produced real Euphoria even here in Macedonia, despite that he did not win. Hope he will become international star.
Thanks.....!!!!!!!!Loves and Kisses from Estonia and Ott
me too. and all his versions even if I cant understand except English. But His Voice is just mesmerizing!!!
And Estonia is now robbed in two years. Kuula is magic and Forza is ethereal. Europe has its priorities all twisted.
the words to this song are so powerful. this song reminds me of special moment in my life
Very good version, I like it a lot. :D
I am so mesmerised by his voice and vocal talent. Thank you, Estonians, for sending such a talent to Eurovision! I prefer the Estonian version even though I don’t understand it. Eurovision is much beneath him - obviously because he didn’t win.
he should sing this version in the Grand Final!!!!!!!!! amasing version in english
I prefer the Estonian version (the song made me fall in love with the language) but it's still great.
Dear Ott
God gives you a wonderful gift! YOUR VOICE
All 2 version of Kuula are so great
Its a shame you comes not in the top 3 ;/
Thank you for this wonderful song
Greetings from Austria :)
i like it till now! Mabuhay! from the Philippines (southeast asia)

I don't understand estonian, but I like it better in Estonian.. love it anyways. His voice catches me and doesn't let me go untill the end of the song..
Wow, this really made an impression on me.. Didnt expect it at all. again wow.
One of the best!!!
I love this song

Beutiful song, from Norway
Love this song.
Head Uut Aastat 2014, Ott! Wish you a big success!
I voted twice! because it was AWESOME!
Uskumatu lugu❤ Ja inglise keeles läheb ta veel sügavamale hinge kui eesti keeles. Kuidas see saab võimalik olla. Ottil on võrratult võimas hääl❤
CMy very favourite of all ever
Beatiful voice! ( and your not to bad to look at. :D)
Lovely song. Both Estonain and English! I've started to learn Estonian now, its you fault! haha! Joking. its a beautiful language, and so is this song. :)
totaly blown away...
Love the lyrics--represents a lot of people who just wants to be heard!!
Love from Azerbaijan!
you rock Ott go estonia
This song is so wonderful. I love it :D
Absolutely lovely, but i love the Estonian version more. Ott is such a wonderful singer, in my opinion he should have won Eurovision last year, not Loreen.
as much as i agree with you, you cant deny Loreen of being number 1 she did do a great performance, if eurovision was voted in categories then Ott would have won easily, this day and age its all about dancing and tencho etc
Ott is the best but he cant win every fkn contest he enters. And loreen was pretty good. Its not like he lost to some looser
