Bad Philosophy sounds like a song that will do very well in BJSC. Bridges and House of Glass sound like songs that should do well for Estonia. Lighthouse is also a great ballad. There is a high number of songs that is definitely not my cup of tea. Please Valik don't win!!

The 5 qualifiers from SF1 are:

 

Janek - House of Glass

Ollie - Venom

Andreas Poom - Why Do You Love Me

Bedwetters - Monsters

Anett and Fredi - You Need to Move On

 

Sad to see Uks Samm Korraga out already :(

 

Despite a lot of major ESC outlets reporting 6 qualifiers, it turns there were only 5 from each semi.

Ollie and the Bedwetters were the standouts for me in the first semi, so pleased to see both of them through. I do think the best songs overall are tonight though.

House of Glass went wild with SFX like Ochman and it was kinda random tbh. He had a good performance though. ALIKA and Sissi both snapped. I hope either of the two represents Estonia! :wub:

Mia and Elysa are through to the final! :cheer: Only 1 of my top 10 missed the final then :o

Alika, Ollie and Bedwetters have made the superfinal.

Alika gets the victory.

Yassssss great choice!! Straight to my number 1 for now :heart:

That piano's going to be great at Eurovision. Very strong pop entry, good stuff.

I would've preferred Sissi or Ollie, but at least this entry is giving 'professional' unlike some of the Super Saturday picks...
