Missed Opportunities 2014: Estonia!

The Estonian selection Eesti Laul once again featured a number of great songs. This blogger enjoyed Tanja's winning song although I feel Estonia had stronger songs... here's a couple of my favourites:

Lenna Kuurmaa - Supernoova
Supernoova is a a lovely ballad, sung in Estonian! Lenna would've been a great choice. She has entered Eesti Laul on numerous occasions and even represented Switzerland in 2005 - with Vanilla Ninja. Would she have qualified? I don't know to be honest but it's a sweet song! A great effort from Lenna.

Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui tuuled pöörduvad
Sandra Nurmsalu's entry was absolutely the best song in the Estonian national final, in my opinion. Her song was unique, stunning, fabulous and very special. The jury ranked her 9th out of 10 participants and she came 3rd in the televote... What a shame!! Sandra represented Estonia in 2009 with her band, Urban Symphony, and achieved 6th place in the final!

Estonia: Eesti Laul final tonight!

Ten acts are in the running to represent Estonia. The line-up isn't great but there are three songs that I really like - and these come from Sandra, Tanja and Lenna. Sandra Nurmsalu is without a doubt the fan favourite to win.

Lenna is also a strong contender - she's participated in Eesti Laul on numerous occasions and even represneted Switzerland in 2005, as part of Vanilla Ninja where they came 8th. This blogger wants Sandra to win. Her song is unique and beautiful.. plus she has a great draw!! It'll be a great show as these clows are the interval act I think. Here are the Estonian hopefuls:

1. Brigita Murutar - Laule täis taevakaar
2. Traffic – Für Elise
3. Norman Salumäe – Search
4. Wilhelm – Resignal
5. Lenna – Supernoova
6. Super Hot Cosmos Blues Band – Maybe Maybe
7. Maiken - Siin või sealpool maad
8. Kõrsikud – Tule ja jää
9. Tanja – Amazing
10. Sandra Nurmsalu - Kui tuuled pöörduvad

Estonia: Eesti Laul songs released!

The Estonian songs have been released online. It's another great line-up from Estonia however Sandra Nurmsalu's song isn't there. Why hasn't it been released? Her track is probably the most anticipated from Eurovision fans... I guess we will have to wait a little longer for that.

Listen to the songs here. Lenna's song is very good and I also like Tanja and August Hunt.

UPDATE - Sandra's song has now been released too. Enjoy it here. It's my favourite without a doubt.... strange, mysterious and fantastic!
