*Opening Act*
Elysa (Estonian entrant in ESCT 31)

Good evening, Europe! Welcome to the Estonian National Final for ESCT 32
"Võitlus Võimaluse Pärast”!

The title of our selection contest translates to "Battle for the Chance" and it is fitting that all of our potential entrants are battling it out to reach the grand finale.

To celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Estonian Pre-selection contest the Estonian selection committee has invited back one veteran act from each of the five pre-selections contests from ESCT27 to ESCT31. These five veteran acts have earnt themselves a second chance to perform the same songs to see if they will have better luck this time. The acts were chosen based on who the selection committee were undervalued in their original contest.

In contrast to previous years there will be 10 acts. Five new acts and five veteran performers. Each veteran has been assigned a challenger to battle it out with. Acts have been paired based on their genre of music and how well they fit together. We ask the delegations to vote for their favourite out of the two acts in each battle. The winner of each battle will then be put forward to the grand final. The selection committee would like there to be six acts in the final, so the runner-up with the most points in a battle will also qualify for the final.

The winner of the grand final will go onto represent Estonia in ESCT 32. The runner-up will represent the country in the second chance contest.

We invite all of our brothers, sisters and cousins from all over Europe to help us select our entry. Please can you listen to all of the songs before choosing your favourite from each battle.

Battle 1 - Grete Paia vsGetter Jaani

Veteran - Greta Paia – ‘Warm Nights’ (ESC 27 Pre-selection)

Grete Paia is a no stranger to ESCT having tried to represent Estonia twice before. Her song ‘Warm Nights’ came third in the pre-selection contest “Uus Eesti Nägemus”. She is hoping that being given this second chance is enough for her to finally be able to represent Estonia.

Challenger - Getter Jaani – ‘Chasing Trouble’

Greta’s challenger is actually one of her closest industry friends, Getter Jaani.

She finished fourth and her performance gained her role of Sharpay Evans in the Estonian version of High School Musical. Getter is hoping her song ‘Chasing Trouble’ will help her be successful in her first Estonian pre-selection contest.

Veteran - Iiris – ‘Wild Unknown Thing’ (ESCT 31 – Pre-selection)

Iiris has tried to represent Estonia a number of times but has never been quite successful.

Vs

Challenger - Lepatriinu – ‘Up The Sky’

Lepatriinu is the challenger of this battle. This is the first time she has tried to represent Estonia and she does so with her song ‘Up The Sky’. Lepatriinu is like a mystical siren, but she is actually a tender being who attempts to charm you with her smooth vocals and hints of impish electronic rhythms.
