Estonian broadcaster ERR has released a list of the songs available for listening from this year’s Eesti Laul, the Estonian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen.
All the 20 songs are now available except, notably, Sandra Nurmsalu’s “Kui Tuuled Pöörduvad”. Sandra is already being touted on social media as one of the favorites to win, especially with her previous experience in Eurovision 2009 as part of Urban Symphony, whose song “Rändajad” came sixth overall.
Sandra isn’t alone in trying for another shot at the Eurovision crown. Lauri Pihlap was part of the group 2XL who, along with Tanel Padar and Dave Benton, took the Eurovision trophy home to Tallinn in 2001.
