Estonia starts its selection tonight for Eurovision song contest 2017. Bigger the better is the motto this year as they hav really worked for it and will bring the final to Saku Suurhall in Tallinn.

I'm all for Ariadne in this round! Lenna Kuurmaa - Slingshot Elina Born - In or out Carl-Philip - Everything but you Ivo Linna - Suur loterii Ariadne - Feel me now  (saved) Uku Suviste - Supernatural Laura Prits - Hey kiddo Karl-Kristjan & Whogaux feat.
