[Lucille]

Can you @ me if the evil twins show up thank you.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

what is this gap?

I think it's time for those who qualify to rework/adapt their stage shows. Probably nice for the non-qualifiers don't invest too much of their funds into it.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Normally Estonia has a two week gap between Semi-Finals and Final, so 4 weeks I guess isn't a big deal for them.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

HOPES AND DREAMS FOR ESTY LOL 2023

The return of Eurosong favourites LAURA PONDVERDE AND KOITE TOMM
More violently dropping people from the ceiling on purpose
No male singers apart from KOITE TOMM
All songs written by SWEN LOHMUS

More violently dropping people from the ceiling on purpose

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Oh DON’T

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I’d also like all the best bits of the following in ONE SONG:

Verona
Leto Svet
Rändajad

Surely this CAN’T BE TOO MUCH TO ASK!

 

[win_the_game]

I would like something SULTRY and SCANDALOUS like this gem.

FIRST HALF

Carlos Ukareda "Whiskey Won't Forget" – Carlos Ukareda, Gevin Niglas, Chris Roberts
Janek "House Of Glass" – Janek Valgepea, Kjetil Morland
Alika "Bridges" – Alika Milova, Wouter Hardy
Ellip "Pretty Girl" – Pille-Riin Karro, Meelis Meri
Andreas "Why Do You Love Me" – Andreas Poom, Alan Roy Scott, Julia Sundberg
Kaw "Valik" – Gevin Niglas, Jesse Keihäsvuori
Wiiralt & Ultima Thule "Salalik" – Martin Saaremägi, Vahur Krautman
Elysa "Bad Philosophy" – Stig Rästa, Vallo Kikas, Elisa Kolk, Anne Gudrun Michaelsen, Alex Ghinea,
Meelik "Tuju" – Andres Kõpper, Meelik Samel, Rain Parve, Martin Petermann

Alika's song was made with the writer and producer of Duncan's Arcade. When the songs were being announced one of the jurors was asked about the song and she got all teary-eyed and shaky when talking about it. Apparently it's THAT good.

 

[OutSynk]

Oh apparently Wouter Hardy also did that awful Switzerland song in 2021 which got third place.

RUDE

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I’m not seeing any Sven Lo in that lovely list

 

[Marina Salty]

Apparently it's THAT good.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

At least there appear to be three songs in Esthonian

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Whiskey Won’t Forget?

 

[OutSynk]

I’m not seeing any Sven Lo in that lovely list

Honestly the list looks like SHIT. There is one missing for some reason but I can't be bothered to add it. It's SISSI with a self-written song.

 

[win_the_game]

So there's nothing SEXY, SULTRY and SCANDALOUS? This is very disappointing.

What a TREAT!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Well not YET. Perhaps semi 2 (or the second half or whatever it is) will feature Laura nude up a pole nasally trilling a ditty about taking it up the rear

 

[win_the_game]

In all honesty, I miss Estonia's hipster era which churned out a fair few indie and electro-pop gems.

 

[OutSynk]

The rest of the 10 will be announced tomorrow so there's still hope.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I have to say that this really is spectacularly good

When AND WHY did Estonia go off the boil? Anyone pointing the finger at our Verona friends will be reported

 

[OutSynk]

He looks so riddled.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

The rest of the 10 will be announced tomorrow so there's still hope.

FOR NOW

 

[OutSynk]

Omg where's @Penelope

Let's talk about SEX

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

@OutSynk Is there anything in that list which might at least have novelty value for us Leto Svet fans?

 

[OutSynk]

Isn't there just one?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Some rumours Sahlene apparently in the second batch!

Not confirmed if as a competitor or just songwriter though

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I’m hoping for USELESS FLAT TROLLOPS. I’ve had quite enough of Estonia being earnest

 

[Penelope]

Omg where's @Penelope

Let's talk about SEX

OMG is he back this year?!

 

[Penelope]

I’d also like all the best bits of the following in ONE SONG:

Verona
Leto Svet
Rändajad

Surely this CAN’T BE TOO MUCH TO ASK!

With just a sultry DASH of KUI TUULED PÖORDUVAD

 

[OutSynk]

OMG is he back this year?!

Lol no

Literally WHO are these people

 

[OutSynk]

Literally WHO are these people

Robin Juhkental was 2010 winner with his band and a couple others have been in Eesti Laul before. Can't believe I have to endure Inger again.

But judging by the list I can't see anyone else but Alika Milova winning. Estonian Idol winner + successful Eurovision songwriter + juror lady cried to it.

[VoR]

Is she a Russian-speaking Estonian then?

She's not going to get herself CANCELLED with off-colour comments about benevolent leader Putin, is she?
