Jury member Jüri Pootsmann, who listened through all 175 songs, joined Grete in the studio to announce the finalists and give a brief comment on them

1⃣ Räpina Jack feat. Kaisa Ling "Tule"
Authors: Kill Kaare, Kaisa Ling

Eurovision YouTuber Epix Eurovision Guy and musician & songwriter Egert Milder visited ETV's Morning show Terevisioon to talk about 5Miinust & Puuluup's song and the songs already selected for Eurovision

🧵For Summary Epix Eurovision Guy and Egert Milder from ETV's Terevisioon 19.02.2024
For Epix, the result was pretty certain once it was clear the juries rated them highly

For Egert the show was a bit mild in semifinal, maybe because of the smaller stage, but the adaptions for finals were wonderful and made it the right choice
A common topic is 5Miinust wearing sunglasses while performing. Egert says it's just the cool thing right now. Being anonymous and stuff Image

5Miinust's [Estoni] Kohver went on Raadio 2's morning show to talk about Eesti Laul and the future at Eurovision

🧵 For summary
📸 Kirke Antsmäe/R2 Margus Kamlat, Estoni Kohver, Jüri Mutika Photo by Kirke Antsmäe/R2
5M&P went to Saturday with only 2 acceptable scenarios - winning it or getting the 4th place

Magnus Müürsep, who handled them, warned that if they lose, all the cameras would be on them. Kohver doesn't know how to lose [tells the story of how he broke a keyboard playing NFS:U2]
In regards to the lyrics and EBU rules regarding brands (so we don't end up with Azerbaijan sending "Mc'Donalds is the best"), there's the issue of Lay's, which they wrote before asking them for money (and they did give something afterwards)

Youtuber Epix Eurovision Guy appeared on today's morning show Terevisioon to talk about the Eesti Laul semifinal, both as an eurovision fan and as a jury member

🧵 for tl;dr, he usually uploads interviews to his youtube channel after a week got you fam on the name hiding
About the 5 Q songs: Not quite his top 5 and as much as he talked to other jury members, none of them were really satisfied with the final choice

Peter Põder was a surprise Q, intl fans liked Cecilia but her vocals and she's not as known in Estonia, Traffic also a surprise NQ
About 5Miinust & Puuluup: It definitely is a hit for the people, their combination has come as a surprise and that they put together a song like this - not a lot of rap/hiphop. Estonian also works really well

Host Reimo points out the song is similar to Estonian band "Öökülm"
