Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Estonia's Eesti laul 2017 will have it's glamourous final tonight in Saku Suurhall in Tallinn. Four previous winners and several veterans and runners ups are at it, and I feel a bit favorism from Estonian tv here as the running order has Koit & Laura placed  at number two while Kerli gets the last one. Hmmm... Despite all this I firmly stay in team #Verona . My other favorite Ariadne didn't quite deliver live and struggled to get even this far. Kerli may have the most outstanding performance but certainly not the best song so let's see if also the Estonians prefer show over song.... A sad remainer again Eurovision song contest is mistaken way too often as Eurovision show contest  (ghrm, Statements , grehm) Liis Lemsalu – Keep running Koit Toome & Laura – Verona  WINNER Karl-Kristjan & Whogaux feat. Maian – Have you now  (4TH) Lenna Kuurmaa – Slingshot Daniel Levi – All I need Elina Born – In or out Ivo Linna – Suur loterii Rasmus R...

  Estonia is thinking big this time. First of all the national final has been moved to Saku Suurhall, the very venue of the Eurovision song contest 2002 and if we believe the rumours most every artist in Estonia is trying to be part of it - among them several previous participant and those who made it to runner up before. Time for a revenge!  There are so many top girls that if they all make it we can expect some serious cat fights: Getter Jaani, Grete Paia, Laura, Ines and Liis Lemsalu just to name a few. But the guys aren't any less: Daniel Levi, Ott Lepland, Robin Juhkental, Rolf Roosalu and Mikk Mäe, Rasmus Rändvee, Rauno Pella and Silver Sepp . Throw in accapella group Estonian Voices and some Estonia-Finnish EMD with Popidiot . And what would Eesti Laul be without somethng weird and odd like a song titled Can you tell the difference between a cock and a hen? by Odd Hugo . Well, Tuesday we will know who has made the cut of 20 semifinalists and if indeed all...

Estonian Eesti laul 2015 kicks off tonight with the first semifinal. Five entries will make the final. So far I have only one favorite in Estonia and it's not in this semi.

Karl-Erik Tauker - Päev korrega Miina - Kohvitassi logu The Blurry Lane - Exceptional Liis Lemsalu & Egert Milder - Hold on Airi Vipulkumar Jansar - Saatuse laul Maia Vahtramäe - Üle vesihalli taeva Robin Juhkental & The Big Bangers - Troubles Elephants From Neptune - Unriddle me Elisa Kolk - Superlove Bluestocking - Kordumatu UPDATE: We have the first finalists in Estonia, too: Elisa Kolk, Elephants from Neptus, Robin Juhkental & The Big Bangers, Maia Vahtramäe and The Blurry Lane. 

Estonian televion has announced the 20 semifinalist for Eesti Laul 2015 , the most alternative and weird - in a good way - national final there is.
