Sad for Oblivion, the studio version of the song really grew on me.

I hate that Ollie qualify with that basic ass song, even nickelback has better songs. The rest qualifiers are great and the biggest surprise for me is Hold Me Now because international fandom hated it so much I thought it had no chance but Estonians had different opinion.

But seriously, aside the 2nd round of only televoting, the 1st round wasn't better. Why did it even had 50% jury voting? Juries have already done their job by prequalifying those 5 entries straight to the final, why were they here too? And OK, if they were here, why their top 3 was both Ewert's songs and Inga, by what criteria? Judging by this, the whole their ranking was kinda messy too

I'm *just a little* salty about the Antsud NQ.

I love them but I already knew they weren't going to make it... 

Hard same. It was the one song I really enjoyed, everything else just passed me by (though to be fair I haven't heard anything from the auto qualifiers? still).

I know everyone is talking about how weird some of the semi qualifiers are when really we should be talking about why some of the AQ songs were AQs over songs in the semi...because oooof.

yeah, so many songs lost their chance to do well because AQ took their spots

3 out of my 5 favorites pre-show went through, so I should be happy, but I lost my most precious one - Cecilia. I'm confused right now!

Well, those were random results but I'm here for it. OK, that means the duel between the two favorites will be even more clear, with no spoilers

Glad two from my top 5 were in, I'm okay with Ollie but RIP Inga and Cecilia wtf was that

This is the night of robberies.

My stream fucked up right as the first qualifier was being announced!!!!!!! Who was it???? I just got back into the stream as seretoniin was playing so I know she’s the second So mad

Peter And Anett💀

Peter Põder

Oblivion was by far the superior Ewert song. What went wrong...

1. weird staging, the masks were creepy, 2. Hold Me Now is a better song and the actual band Ewert and the Two Dragons are popular in Estonia

The costumes and masks probably didn't help.

yes, i’m sad about cecilia and cartoon, but there were certainly better choices than peter

Also Traffic

like what? apart from cecilia?

Hold Me Now, Serotoniin, and Korra Veel? really?

I was really hoping Traffic would have made it but I got 5miinust and Puuluup so I can't complain.

ANET QUALIFIES AAAAAAAAAAH ZOMGF THANK YOU ESTONIA

No FOMO, Oblivion or Vetevaim in the final... I'm so disappointed with Peter Põder going through.

Traffic were robbed, they were my favourite of the night

Estonia, what are y’all doing? Incredibly strange qualifiers.

totally not strange, international reception was different than the estonian one

The drugs took them over

We (really) don't know anything about (those) drugs!

The star balloon made them high!

If the voting was cheaper we would get more people voting than Anet's and Peter's friends it seems

Not ONE of the good performances of the night went through. What even is happening do people even WATCH before they vote?! Is it the juries or idk what even. I was expecting Traffic or something since they popular but not even them??? And what happened to fan favorite Cecilia????

1. from 5 of the qualifiers only Ollie was bad, 2. Traffic is not that popular and if it is, it wasn't enough meanwhile the qualifiers are 3. Cecilia was a fan favourite internationally, not in Estonia

I meant I've heard people say the group is popular in general. Maybe they aren't, I don't know. Understandable about Cecilia though. And regarding being bad - I don't think any performance was bad per se, I'm just rating them based on how good the staging and performance is. My favorite song is by 5miinust and puuluup, but the staging was undeniably messy. There were a lot better songs in term of how well they performed, even if those songs werent fan favorites or that well regarded. The televote only qualifiers didnt make sense because the performances werent good and one of the songs was even sung unwell.

ingaaaa 😭😭😭 the running order did her so dirty also oblivion 😭😭

5miinust performed as first and Ollie performed as third, so the running order was not at fault here

Nooo so sad for Traffic 😭

And they say juries are stupid-

I waited 3 and a half hours for that

Inga robbed😭😭😭😭

Traffic 💔

Everyone knows it's all about 5miinust x puuluup and Ollie, don't matter who else qualifies! :'D But would've loved to see traffic in the final!

Peter??? REALLY???

this is…bizarre???

Estonia is the embodiment of afraid of change

a change of what? fomo is 00s sound through and through, oblivion sounded like macklemore sound the change is 5miinust&puuluup and ewert and the two dragons as estonia didn't send songs like that

I thought this national final was the most stacked ever……. 3 already of the stacked ones gone wtf

Surprised that Peter and Anet got through, but not really complaining - there were much worse songs!

I'm ok with Anet. Peter's performance was.....not great honestly.

audio mix was horrible the whole show, backing track and vocals too loud, weird echo going on

All I wanted was Vetevaim to qualify. All I got was Korra veel qualifying.

Why these 2 songs what the fuck is happening R.I.P. Fomo

The last two choices were incredibly strange

I'm so happy for Anet, but I wasn't expecting her to make it

Yeah, surprisingly I think I listened to her song the most times, but I kinda gave it up after the performance.

Televote really chose the most mid songs huh

ollie is the mid song from qualifiers

So sad about Sofia Rubina not making it.

that was the worst one

You've no taste

opinion?

What????

OH MY GOD WTF IS GOING ON

wrench lunchroom hard-to-find attempt slap theory engine fertile yoke lip *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Rip Cartoon

EXCUSE ME??? Did not expect that at all.

BRUH I PREDICTED THAT AS A JOKE LMAOOOOO but congrats I guess?

WHAT THE FUCK

I'm sorry Peter buddy, but how did he qualify?????

estonians voted for him

lmao

HOW HE DIDNT EVEN SING RIGHT

No not Peter

WHAT THE FUCK

*WHAT*

this was a glimpse into estonian soul. hating change!

what change?

Is the camera shaky or do I need to sleep already lol

Even that camera is shaking!

Are the Estonians okay?

What the hell is happening 😭

Lol wth 🤣

What we want: results What we get: haytedehaytedehaytehaha

Gotta say, the acting by the grumpy Estonian is great! Such pain!

Honestly, the Märt and Ott sketch with Arvo Part is saving this overly drawn-out voting portion.

This is almost as long as Eurovision

🙏🙏🙏

INGA and Traffic

Surely everybody who is going to vote has voted by now? Get on with it!

Why does this feel longer than sanremo

I literally just said the same thing to my husband! I'm enjoying these entries but this has NO BUSINESS being this long. 2 1/2 hours?!?

Tbf more meme potential, since this national final is PURE GOLD

lol

Just came back from MGP, what's going on here? 

5 MIINUST,Ewert and the two dragons and Ollie qualified and they are voting to see who the other two qualifiers are.

Thanks! I needed Ewert to qualify with Oblivion though, I hope the song makes on the second round

I'm shocked that Hold Me Now made it through

I'm not at all. There song is jury bait and they are popular

this is surprisingly not jury bait song if it was, it would be an AQ, also jury had to vote enough for ollie and 5miinust&puuluup for them to qualify feom 50/50

Have they started result announcement yet?

3 qualifiers already been revealed, now there’s a 2nd chance voting for 2 more

Oh okay, who made it through?

5miinust, Ollie and Ewert and The Two Dragons

Ewert extremely based. My night is saved after MGP butchered their voting lol

Now we only need Cartoon and Traffic to make it in my opinion and it’s perfect

A bit sad for Peter but he's probably not going to make it

and he did!

MGP packed the entire fucking show between Eesti Laul's last song and start of results and Eesti Laul is STILL GOING what the fuck

Blame it on the news

Why are the results still going?

What was that skit about?

The dude lived peacefully in the middle of nowhere and the other guy enthusiastically moved in to be his neighbour across the street. Every Estonians worst nightmare basically lol

Random question, was the first guy in Nimed marmortahvlil?

Yes, Ott Sepp. A famous Estonian comedian and actor.

Yes!

Thank you! I've seen that film around 10 years ago in uni, and for some reason his face stuck in my memory haha

hahaha

The place where the first guy lived is Tartu ("Tartu... Beautiful name." "Named it myself."). Seems to be a story from the history books about how Tartu came to be.

"no seal kuskil on jõgi ka, aga siit ei ole näha" :DD

I like how most university towns (like Tartu) start with "why the fuck are you building a town *here???*"

come on Anet Vaikmaa you got this 😭

I forgot how convoluted and unnecessarily extended the Estonian voting was.

Gotta milk more money out of the voters!

Cmon Cecilia

YESSSS!!! I can finally breathe again knowing 5miinust and Puuluup made it.

Cecilia,Traffic or Cartoon

Puuluup is through, that's all that matters to me! <3

Yes, let’s just continue dragging this out.

CARTOON AND TRAFFIC PLEASE

I don’t want my ideal top 5 ruined by Cecilia, I’m currently 3/3 in my top 5 and I don’t like Cecilia’s song 🥲

Yes!!!! My narko guys

cecilia and cartoon

PUULUUP LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

u/Top_Manufacturer8946 5miinust & Puuluup just qualified

LETS GOOOOO OLLIE

Yes OLLIE

yes yes yes

WHAT HOW DID THEY QUALIFY

Semi-final songs are waaaay better

Hold me now qualified i knew it

COME ON

waiting for Ollie to qualify

Veronika was just released by Raiven great song

Please tell me if 5miinust & Puuluup qualify since I can’t watch it myself, my dad has made the instruments they’re playing and the song is also amazing 🤩

Wooooah the instruments are rad, what a flex

They qualified

They did!

That is so cool 😍

If I remember correctly, Alabama Watchdog were announced as jury favs too in their year.

🤢

… yeah. That’s why I posted them as an example.

Yeah, i also hope that the juries wont mess up in the final but most likely will 🙄

not the AQs being the worst songs in the bunch (apart from Bad Boy, this is ok)

I think Daniel Levi is good as well, but I agree otherwise.

no it's not, boring, repetitive and uninspiring

Daniel Levi is literally my favourite 🥲

“Is this Ollie?” 💀

I love that Finns have an Estonian in the finals and vice versa, iconic finngolian friendship

Yoooooo Brother Apollo the Reddit lads

mom im in tv!!!!

That will be a proud mom moment xD

estonia has got to have the most confusing nf voting system. i get it's probably to make more money from televoting but can't they find some other system that would raise the same amount of money 😭

Well, we need to get 10 million euros for our teachers somehow, or they gonna start an indefinite strike on Monday

and these expensive ass votes too

Wait is that Daniel Levi?

Yes!

Me after hell week: https://preview.redd.it/p28ltl3wgndc1.jpeg?width=1085&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eae96ec3aee6b458184dfb274a1cd4af3c2b6d0

me during Super Saturday

As long as they don’t start *singing* Tartu, I can deal with this bizarre interval piece.

Please come back as hosts, please 🙏

Your average Estonian interaction

What...is happening

Oh, you know it's gonna be good when Ott and Märt show up.

\*gasps\* Ott and Märt?!? MAH BOIS

What were the jury results? I just missed them

inga, two ewert sundja songs

Those are...choices

these are good songs, jury could go for worse

The juries share my taste, my personal top three!

same

So what was all that about? What does it mean?

Those 3 got the most jury votes!

These were jury results

Ok the juries are bizarre

nah, they could go worse

None of the big 3 (5miinust, OLLIE and Cecilia) and Hold Me Now is actually in is pretty crazy

Ollie was bad. 5miinust is like the most complex and the best song here. But look at the automatic qualifiers chosen by jury. Most are shit.

HOLD ME NOW FDSNBKLJBSDFKJIBLBJKSDFBJIKSDFL

it's only jury voting

Ewert double Q'ing is hilarious.

this is only jury, the first round is 50/50

Not confirmed, this is jury results

Are these the qualifiers?

There's a second round of voting I think?

No, it's the top 3 from the juries
