Estonia 2025: Tommy Cash - Espresso Macchiato

[Tisch]

First Eesti Laul finalist announced on the NEWS seemingly. Video is in the comments and the woman looks surprised that there's a featuring artist on her own song.

More finalists to be announced on Monday and Tuesday.

All gay hyperbole.

 

[auretz]

Tommy Cash seems to have sent in a song and I am led to believe that he'd be the favourite to win if true (@OutSynk to confirm)

The full Eesti Laul 2025 selection jury list.

No Sven this year then. Close the thread.

 

[Velvet Skies]

I hope Laura is back with yet another breezy country song that will yield further diminished results

[Tisch]

It seems pared down. Are there more to be announced? Ollie decided fuck it this year has he?

Edit: learn to read @Tisch

 

[D5K]

High hopes for Elysa as 'Bad Philosophy' was one of my favourite songs of last year.

 

[Apoca]

How many songs does Paul Rey have in the finals?

@auretz I can indeed confirm Tommy Cash is IN.

 

[auretz]

Tommy Cash's song is written by one of the guys behind "Cha Cha Cha" too so I guess that's almost a foregone conclusion?

Esthonian tracks debuting LIVE in FIVE here: jupiter.err.ee/etv

 

[Penelope]

Koit Toome seemingly getting PORKIER judging by Esthonian ads

But then, AREN'T WE ALL!

 

[Penelope]

High hopes for Elysa as 'Bad Philosophy' was one of my favourite songs of last year.

A BALLID this time apparently

 

[Penelope]

Lovely INTERIORS in this hotel/restaurant/prison gym they're all in. And Elysa appears to have a lovely dog

Will be having a QUIET MOMENT OF REFLECTION over Janek no doubt.

 

[Penelope]

DRUM N BASS in Eesti Laul from Andrei Zevakin feat. Karita I think that might genuinely be a Eurovision first

 

[Penelope]

"Sahlene, you look so glamorous! Did you know the contest is not tonight?"

 

[Penelope]

Sahlene recycling David Lindgren - Skyline QUITE shamelessly there

 

[Penelope]

Lovely basic 00s throwback ballid from Elysa. Send for ANNA VISHY (sp?)

 

[Penelope]

Janek's sitting and gesturing like a cigarette emoji

Any HOT GOSS @OutSynk?

 

[Penelope]

Tommy Cash is giving MEDINA rather than Käärijä

 

[Penelope]

That Frants Tikerpuu one would've coasted through a Melfest heat 2015-2019 (derogatory). And what a hideously SMUG LOOKING MAN!

 

[Penelope]

Stereo Terror or Espresso Macchiato feel like the really obvious best choices for them as Eurovision entries. Bit of an underwhelming year for them though.

 

[OutSynk]

Janek's sitting and gesturing like a cigarette emoji

Any HOT GOSS @OutSynk?

I didn’t even know this was happening today

 

[Penelope]

I said ANY HOT GOSS ABOUT JANEK @OutSynk

 

[OutSynk]

I don't know much about him but clearly FLAMING.

 

[VoR]

So as far as I understand it, Tommy Fury is by far the biggest name here and near-certain to win. I don't mind his song, but it's a bit 'fun4SanMarino' for me.


Predictably obsessed with Anna Sahlene's totally original, never seen before schlager confection.


I'm also quite tickled by game old Elysa really committing to the melodramatic delivery of these nonsensical lyrics


AM I DEAD?!?!
CIGARETTES!

 

[Penelope]

Since when was 'fun4SanMarino' a NEGATIVE for you?

 

[VoR]

Since when was 'fun4SanMarino' a NEGATIVE for you?

It isn’t! I’m just slightly bewildered by it as an ESTONIAN entry.

Though I suppose they do seem to have a bit of a love affair with Italy with noted classics Verona and La Forza in the back cat.

 

[Penelope]

Also Elysa's absolutely TRANSPARENTLY had a boob job/her face done since Bad Philosophy. Good for her!

 

[OutSynk]

Oh I'm really liking Tommy Cash (Verona found DEAD etc). But don't be so sure of him winning. There is a recent Idol winner in there too with the usual boring radio fodder conservative Esthonian public likes to vote for.

 

[OutSynk]

I can sort of imagine Wrs singing the Tommy Cash song.

 

[OutSynk]

The rest of this edition sounds awful as expected. Stream Annabel (sp?)

Yes, this one felt very imaginable at Eurovision.

 

[Soldi]

So as far as I understand it, Tommy Fury is by far the biggest name here and near-certain to win.

I’d much rather him win rather than them sending that ballad. We don’t need Alika 2.0.

 

[D5K]

The rest of this edition sounds awful as expected. Stream Annabel (sp?)

They've just pulled out of Junior Eurovision after this gem went unappreciated.

Edit: Recap added!

 

[auretz]

This got the wildcard:



Laura now at the stage of not even being able to make the televised rounds

 

[IntoTheDark]

Laura has accused Marta Lotta of cheating their way to the finals.



Here’s where SHE draws the line!
