As usual Estonia broadcaster ETV put on a great show for their Eurovision national selection, Eestilaul. The show last night came live from the venue that hosted the 2002 contest – the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn.
Ten songs whittled down through two semi-finals competed for a place at Eurovision 2018. Voting was split into two rounds. In the first, a mix of public and jury votes picked four songs for a second round.
Song | Performer(s) | 1st Rd Jury | 1st Rd Televote | 2nd Rd | Psn |
Young | Karl Kristjan & Karl Killing (ft. Wateva) | 3 | 8 | 6 | |
Sky | Eliis Pärna & Gerli Padar | 1 | 3 | 10 | |
Knock knock | Nika | 4 | 1 | 9 | |
Thousand words | Sibyl Vane | 10 | 4 | 4 | |
Home | Stig Rästa | 7 | 7 | 9686 | 2 |
Laura (walk with me) | Vajé | 5 | 10 | 8506 | 3 |
La forza | Elina Netšajeva | 12 | 12 | 43445 | 1 |
(Can’t keep calling) Misty | Frankie Animal | 8 | 2 | 7 | |
Drop that boogie | Iiris & Agoh | 6 | 6 | 5 | |
Welcome to my world | Evestus | 2 | 5 | 8 |
I *think* that Elina won by a country mile but I am waiting for that to be confirmed by ETV – they usually release the results quite quickly. (edit – and they have been and I was right!!!)
In the meantime – here’s the song
[…] Elina through to Lisbon for Estonia. […]
