The winner of this year’s Eesti Laul and the 27th representative of Estonia in the 65th Eurovision Song Contest was Uku Suviste with his song “The Lucky One”. Twelve were the songs that claimed the ticket to the Netherlands and three were those that made it to the “super final” of the night after the vote of the jury and the television audience. Specifically the following:
- 1. Jury Pootsmann – “Magus melanhoolia”
