Ott Lepland will represent Estonia in the 2012 Eurovision in Baku with his self penned Kuula. He will celebrate his 25th birthday in Baku but he's no newcomer to the scene. As a kid he already released four albums, and then as a grown up he took part in Eesti etsib supestaari 2010 aka Estonian idol and won. Soon after he released his self titled debut album with songs like Otsides ma pean su jälle leidma, Süte peal sulanud jää, Läbi öise Tallinna, Öö and Kohtume jälle. He also recorded a duet Sinuni with Lenna Kuurmaa, who he beat in this spring's Eestilaul. His second album was released in 2011 under title Laulan ma sind including Tunnen elus end and his Eurovision entry Kuula. he has also starred in High school musical and took part in a TV-show Laulupealinn that he won with his team for his hometown Kärdla. So far he has won pretty much everything he has taken part in, will the story continue in Baku?
I think this is one of the most underrated entries this year by the fans. Ott himself describes his song as this millenium's My heart will go on and indeed, it has all the ingredients. So far there is only the Estonian version available and for once I would love to hear the English one... or Italian. Or Spanish....

Estonia is my absolute favorite this year. And I agree with you.
Last year Estonia was overrated by the fans, and this year it's definitely underrated by them. I really hope that this year Estonia's result will be great!
