The list of direct finalists.. is bad.

The list of direct finalists.. is bad.

As was mentioned before, the jurors listened to the songs without knowing who the singers or the songwriters were, similar to the blind auditions on The Voice. Perhaps you'll be surprised by what you'll hear from the direct finalists.

Possible, but i doubt it. The singers (other than the unknown finnish people) usually produce veeeery middle of the road things that juries tend to like, but that are suuper boring. Also, the Estonian music industry is so small and the likes of Uudo Sepp, Daniel Levi and Nele-Liis Vaiksoo would be recognisable to most of the jury members even if their names are not listed.

I don´t want to say anything about the pre-qualified 5, but... hype deflated.

Why is a woman from Cork in Eesti Laul, did she get lost or is another one of our women conquering the Baltics like Erica Jennings did in Lithuania

Is she really from Cork? I watched the televised announcement and Uudo said she's from Norway and lives in Chile?!

Edit: yeah, on Instagram she also calls herself a Norwegian living in Chile, no sign of Ireland...

I did another search for "Sarah Murray singer," and I found out that there are two different singers who are named Sarah Murray. One is Irish, and the other is Norwegian. The Irish Sarah, whose Instagram username is sarahmurraymusik, is a singer/songwriter. She also has a Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/SarahMurrayMusik/

So no, @MopManMoss and @ailane, the Sarah who is participating in Eesti Laul is not from Cork, Ireland.


(A simple search for "Sarah Murray" gives us a CNN journalist named Sara Murray, with no H.)

That's not her.

This is one of her Instagram accounts (google search gave me 2 more but they're not working): https://www.instagram.com/sarah_murrays_covers
This is her Youtube page, including random performances with Estonian musicians from summer 2022: https://www.youtube.com/@ms.murray4894/videos
On Spotify she has two songs under the alias Ms. Murray: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6R5gjgcn7botq1tmYKd3bW

Yes, I edited my post to acknowledge that after rereading your post.

I visited the Norwegian Sarah's Instagram page, and I noticed that it hasn't been updated for five years. It is good to see that she has some more recent content on her YouTube channel.

I just want a single competent irish person in an NF is that a lot to ask for, clearly I was given bad intel

 

[lasse braun]

do we get another nickelback song this year from estonia?
ask for a friend.

Which do you think was the Nickelback-type song in Eesti Laul 2023? The Canadian Music Hall of Famers never crossed my mind when I listened to the songs in the contest.

Ollie will need a strong song and presentation or he might not get out of the semifinal. Only 5/15 will make it remember with the pre qualifiers and we have two huge newcomer acts competing as well as the likes of Traffic, Laura, Anet just to name a few. Venom was strong and My Friend will need to be the same with the field he's in for this year.

According to Michael Kealy he hasn't even started listening to entries yet. Still have to wait until December

Without having heard any of the songs, I think there is a strong chance that ollie will stay in the semi.

Uudo and Carlos is SO cursed but DANIEL LEVI 3

 

[laululind]

I think Ollie's chances to make the final are pretty decent, unless his song is a whole lot weaker this time around. He'll probably have the most rock-ish song in the semi, and I think there will be some residual good-will from people who think he should have won last year. Might not be enough to get him to victory (and that Finnish band in the final could be this year's Bedwetters, splitting the votes again), but passing the semi seems entirely possible. That said, everything depends on the songs in the end, obviously. If his song is indeed a lot weaker, or the semi has a really high level, he could miss out. But without hearing the songs, I'd say Anet and Ollie have the biggest final potential thus far. Just another 4 weeks to wait until we get a better picture!

Can't help but notice that out of the five automatic qualifiers there's one song with Estonian title, I hope it's gonna be a strong entry 'cause I wanna hear some Estonian in ESC, been a while

I would too. Your best hope is probably 5Miinust + Puuluup in that case

Having such a long song title should be punished by law tho xD

 

[MopManMoss]

I love rock but found Venom incredibly cringe, I hope Ollies second offering is less angsty but I obviously appreciate that plenty of people loved it
