The other acts revealed were these

Karl Killing – “Kiss Me”
Egert Milder – “Free Again”
Rahel – “Sunday Night”
Sissi – “Time”
Alabama Watchdog – “Alabama Watchdog”
Kristin Kalnapenk – “Find A Way”
Tanja – “Best Night Ever”
Heleza – “6”
Uku Hasma – “Kaos”
Suured tüdrukud – “Heaven’s Not That Far Tonight”
Kadri Voorand – “Energy”
Ivo Linna, Robert Linna, Supernova – “Ma Olen Siin”

And all songs are now available to listen to at this link!

The first one I've gone to check out is Uku Suviste in case the Estonian public decide to give him a proper chance and it's not amazing, but I'm feeling it a tad more than "What Love Is"

Had a very quick flick through and already heard references to lockdown, songs influenced by The Weekend/Dua’s 80s/disco sound and a song with a Think About Things-esque vibe. So all of the expected boxes are being ticked already laugh.gif

Between him having a proven fanbase and also one of the most competitive songs in the selection, I'd be surprised if Uku Suviste doesn't win a second chance at Rotterdam (who knows if the rest of the title defenders like The Mamas/The Roop will have the same luck?).



But my personal picks of the bunch would be this fun and frivolous number from Gram-Of-Fun



As well as this pretty strong gospel influenced ballad from Sissi who came fourth in Eesti Laul 2019

So much better than his entry last year. It really reminds me of something that would be on Lawson's 'Chapman Square' album!

i wanted the chorus to be much bigger but this is pretty good, I like the production even if it sounds monotonous at times. says it all that i don't even remember what song he attempted to send last year :')

Personally I'm not having any expectations from this selection but I'm happy to see Uku representing Estonia once again. Eesti Laul unfortunately has been relatively weak in the past few years with one or two standouts occasionally. This year is probably the weakest so far for me sadly sad.gif

Easily the best song chosen yesterday despite not being all that instant. I like the instrumental and the studio version is good. Can see this being a big grower for me.

Nice enough, I doubt I will ever listen to this out of choice but it's definitely better than What Love Is.
