Estonia’s selection for Eurovision 2024 is now well and truly on. All 20 of the competing songs in Eesti Laul 2024 have now been released for fans to take a listen to.
The 20 entries were originally set to be unveiled during a special TV programme on ETV, hosted by Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets, on Friday evening. But after some of the songs dropped prematurely on streaming platforms, broadcaster ERR has now shared the full playlist.

Eesti Laul has had a slight shake-up for 2024. Unlike last year — when there were two semi-finals — this year there will only be one. The preliminary event will take place on 20 January in the city of Tartu and features 15 of this year’s contestants.
The other change to the format is the presence of automatic qualifiers, who get to bypass the semi-final and go directly to the grand final on 17 February. Following the submission period, a “broad-based” jury consisting of 41 people chose the five automatic finalists.
Which song are you enjoying most on first listen? Who do you think has potential to win Eesti Laul 2024? Let us know in the comments below.
oh yea please fix 5 Miinust. where do you get the 2 N´s?
english speaking europeans always write Tallinn with one N and lose vowels in some other words. you can copy-paste
Okey, now I’ve listened to the 20 songs I’d say the level is not that bad. I don’t necessarily see an Eurovision winner here but some of them are pretty enjoyable- I like how Estonia keeps giving spotlight to some modern and indie songs. Though it is true the people who chose the finalists must be Ed Sheeran fans cause both “Still Love” and ” Over the Moon” sound similar and I don’t certainly know how those two are better than some of the semifinalists. I don’t know how many sports are there in the final but I’d want these… Read more »

I really like FOMO :)))))
Not a winner
Puuluup because Europe needs to see them live. they are crazy. and middle aged.
I also like Ollie, it makes me emotional. no, Ollie, you will not see them again there is no other life im sorry. there is just this one.
expected more perhaps from Ewert but glad he is taking part.
Not a bad selection. Inga for the win!
“Serotoniin” by Anet Vaikmaa is where it’s at!
I love the diversity of this selection! As for the songs, Ewert and the two Dragons are my clear favourites.
from one of those recap videos on YT, it seems like a good selection…
shout out to the hard-working people making those videos, they make me spare so much time ^^
What a perfect chance to correct last year’s mistake. Ollie’s song might be even better than Venom. Didn’t think he could do it but he did!
This might be the clearest decision of all the national final season this year. Don’t mess it up, Estonia. ^^
5Minnust & Puuluup,please – a perfect mix of hiphop and folk, absolutely unique !
I praised Ewert because I didn’t listen to the song you talk about. But now I have, I can say it gives me Gangnam Style/Dragostea din tei vibes, it has the elements which are necessary to go vital.
Viral* not vital. Cursed automatic correction.
I like this selection !
I love Ollie, Cecilia, Anet Vaikmaa, Brother Apollo, Daniel Levi, 5miinust, Traffic, Antsud and also Inga !
5MIINUST x Puuluup will win eesti laul and maybe eurovision televote.
why?
they have a dance. you cant lose when you have a dance.
After a second listening I’m a 100% behind Oblivion. Best chance for a top 10 in Malmö.
okay actually after second listening, 5 miinust and puuluup is growing on me. I hope they will win.
Terrible Like Always
None really pulled me in.
I like the song Melotoniin most
I mean Serotoniin
I was expecting some mediocre comedy song out of 5MIINUST & Puuluup when I read the description of them but wow, this is actually a great and unique sound.
Most unique song of the selection for sure, maybe too unique for the Eesti Laul public as they always seem to choose safe pop songs/ballads. But it’s the best song of this years Eesti Laul so far
It’s the country that gave us Malcolm Lincoln and Neiokösö, so don’t be too pessimistic about it.
My top-3 are My Friend, Bad Boy and Over the Moon
OLLIE seems like the clear favorite here, I love My Friend even more than Venom, just a phenomenal artist
Estonia performing rock at Eurovision is something we’ve never had before
The best time for Estonia to send a rock song was last year, the second best time is now haha (I still love Alika to death tho)
May the best act win
Well, technically, we did have an Estonian band singing a rock song in 2005, but they were representing Switzerland, so it doesn’t really count as an Estonian entry haha
I wouldn’t say last year since there were three or for rock songs and they ended up cancelling each other out in the televote, but this year seems good due to first movers advantage!
Hello Readers I Was Hacked And Some One Is Pozing As Me . This Isnt Ok And They Said Much I Disagre With . Anyways All The Estonien Songs Are Just Not Good . Estonia Flops So Much , Lituania Will Be Way Better As Always
This Person Is Pretending To Be Me Please Do Not Fall For Their Lies
Please Estonia, don’t make the same mistake twice. We NEED OLLIE at Eurovision. Make it happen.
Ok! It was long but I listened to all these songs several times and there are songs I personally like, Serotoniin, Bad boy, My friend, FOMO, Wunderbar, Over the moon, Dreaming. And there are songs I thought I’m gonna like at the beginning but finally not so much at the end, Never growing up, Lately, No dog on a leash, Here’s where I draw the line, they got potential but felt flat or too repetitive for my taste. So 7 songs out of 20 I like is not a bad selection for me now talking about potential for Eurovision is… Read more »

5 Miinust&Puuluup
Love me some Ewert! Both songs are good but I prefer “Oblivion”.
My opinion:
Top tier songs:
“FOMO” – Cecilia.
“Oblivion” – Cartoon, Ewert Sundja.
“Still Love” – Uudo Sepp, Sarah Murray.
Possible other good choices:
“No Dog On a Leash” – INGA.
“My Friend” – OLLIE.
“Over the Moon” – Daniel Levi.
“Never Growing Up” – Carlos Ukareda.
Special mention (I like them but I’m not sure about the general public):
“Hold Me Now” – Ewert and The Two Dragons.
“Lately” – Silver Jusilo.
“I Don’t Know About You” – YONNA.
Some other songs were interesting (Korra veel or Serotoniin for example) but definitely not strong enough.
Fomo and Dreaming and No dog on a leash are my picks. My prediction is that bad boy or dreaming will win. There are quite a few good songs in this selection but many sound more made for steeaming than live performance. We shall see…
From what i have listened, i like “Over the Moon” the most so far.
Unfortunately it’s giving non qualification. All songs are quite bland.
100% disagree
Bruh, how can they be non-qualifiers if the competition isn’t yet defined? Haven’t heard them yet but I’m sure they’re not bad as Malta’s options
Apart from Matt Blxck!
Why is no one talking about 5MINNUST & Puuluup? I just watched their music video and it’s giving me Little Big and Käärijä vibes in Estonian style. The song is a bop as well!!
5 MIINUST?
I was thinking the exact same thing but also mixed in with The HU if u know them
I absolutely love them, they are my favs by far, everything else feels unfinished or bland.
Eesti Laul’s songs presentation was indeed a lu xuri ous experience. Well done ERT and artists!! Top notch production value, good to great songs, really nice hosts, high quality videos, artists and songwriters that seemed professional, humble in the best sense of the word, confident and of course talented. My top of the tops is Daniel Levi’s “Over the Moon”. I’ve listened to it already and it warmed my heart. Excellent song, I hope it will do very well!! My second is Anet Vaikmaa’s “Serotoniin”. Kind of classic song true to a certain era, it makes me happy. It does… Read more »
Hmm, can we find here a “winner alert”?
Why don’t we talk about how Ewert has managed to compete with TWO songs? It’s impressive, I haven’t seen somebody doing it in the NFs of any country. I hope he can win it, ESC is a perfect stage for indie musicians to thrive.
It’s rare but it’s not the first time it happens. Back in 2019 Monika Marija competed with 2 songs in the lithuanian selection and both songs were going to do a great result. She had to withdraw one of the 2 songs to compete with the other in the final. Sadly for her she didn’t win.
Ira Losco had 2 songs in the qualifying round at MESC in 2016. With the assumption that both had enough votes to qualify for the final, they picked the better song to advance. Of course, after she won, they didn’t use that song, either, for Eurovision.
Oh, Ira. Hopefully it was worth ditching her own, better song for a Melfest reject to score all those juries points. The televote didn’t like it one bit. Neither did I. Still like Chameleon, though. Her chameleon, not the 2019 one.
And one of them should go to Eurovision, Oblivion!

Didnt like any of these songs. Very average selection.
A lot of people are trashing on EL this year. However, I think the selection is rather strong since it’s telling that most of them are of a good or decent quality. Apart from Bad Boy, the automatic finalists are a bit of a head scratcher, however I know some really good songs from the semi finals will make it. We haven’t seen any of them with their song live yet so it could all change but Cecilia’s song FOMO pops out the most with its loud dancey race-like lines that remind me of a certain Danish rave song from… Read more »
Don’t forget Traffic!
I enjoyed listening to Serotoniin, Over the moon, Still love and Wunderbar. Don´t see the hype about Fomo or Bad boy.
Again my favourite last year was So Good (At What You Do); and it didnt score that high.
FOMO is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, I can see the live audience going crazy for it like for “Cha Cha Cha”. It has a very similar eurotrash party vibe. The only concern I have for it is how it will sound live. That might ruin it.
Yeah, it must be only my personal taste. As you say everything can change with the live performances.
I believe Cecilia tried to compete in 2020 or some year that but EL didn’t happen or her song was rejected, despite being a good song and her having a great voice. A lot of people were upset. FOMO is also is that kind of banger you wouldn’t hear in THIS contest!
Regarding Bad Boy, it seems like a decent song and people really want Estonia to send a rock entry like last year, so My Friend or Bad Boy are the best songs for that!
Great selection for Estonia this year, finally. FOMO is such a banger
FOMO is cool!
I see the ESC community is underestimating Ewert & the Two Dragons, they are quite established and popular in the Baltics, so I would guess they are one of the main contenders.
The only song I like is “My Friend”.. BUT it’s not like “Venom”… I hope Ollie will win..
I can see it get the 10-15 place in the final… the other are boring and in my opinion NQ
ESTONIA WE NEED FO-MO-MO-MO-MO-MO NOW
On first listen: I like Never growing up, FOMO, Oblivion, No Dog On A Leash and Over the Moon best. Wunderbar is kind of guilty pleasure lol. Ollie’s song is fine, but I think Venom was better. Do people really like Bad Boy? That one is super cringe to me ??
Brother Apollo reminds me a lot of Blind Channel. Kinda similar style but ofc “Dark Side” is a better song than “Bad Boy”, but I still really like Brother Apollo’s song. It’s very energetic and memorable, which is really good in ESC.
haha cringey af.
You’re not the only one to think so. It’s the perfect definition of cringe. A song that would crash hard if it was to go to ESC.
How is cringey? Topic (Bla Bla Bla) by Greta Tude is the definition of cringey!
Well I don’t disagree. I think bla bla bla is cringey too. But I find the lyrics to Bad Boy really cringe too. Almost laughable .
Finished listening to most of them, these are the ones that caught my attention:
Brother Apollo – “Bad Boy”
OLLIE – “My Friend”
Traffic – “Wunderbar”
Daniel Levi – “Over The Moon”
Multikas & Ewert Sundja – “Oblivion”
Cecilia – “FOMO”
Honorable mentions (risky choices):
Antsud – “Vetevaim”
Anet Vaikmaa – “Serotoniin”
Peter Põder – “Korra veel”
YONNA – “I don’t know about you”
5MINNUST & Puuluup – Crazy Estonian bop (kinda like it tho)
Most of the others were enjoyable, but not too memorable or interesting
It’s so cool we’ve got the songs this early! Thank you Estonia!
I’m enjoying tremendously the Estonian language songs! Wowzaa!
My top 3 is:
Everytime when Laura participates, I always hope that some justice will be done for Veronagate. But unfortunately she has a bad choice in picking the right song. Sorry girl, this is just boring… too bad, maybe next year then.
The fandom always attacks her never realising that she’s not always responsible for her songs!
Is somebody blackmailing her?
No. She has her own agency.
And she wrote the song. This is 100% on her.
Artists sign a contract with record dealers unless they’re Indie which binds them to certain songwriters.
Also, she is a self-empowered business women, she even has her own cosmetic line now! I like her.
Don’t really see what stands out about the song that makes you automatically dislike her or it? It seems like an ordinary EL song to me, doesn’t stand out in any negative way.
Hopefully this time Ollie will win this!
Feels like a really good selection Estonia! 😀 Although I’ve only listened to 3 songs so far (OLLIE, Brother Apollo and Daniel Levi) they’ve all been very enjoyable and I could see each one of them qualifying to the Grand Final.
Oh wow Traffic’s song sounds very fun. It will get people on their feet for sure! The song really is “Wunderbar” 😉
I would go with Never Growing Up, just cause it feels nostalgic and early 2010s
