Loreen wins #ESC250 again | Here are the detailed results of #ESC250 of 2024 by Songfestival.be!

Happy New Year everyone! The first article for 2025 could be no other but the results of the #ESC250 voting by Songfestival.be in collaboration and as presented via EFR12 Radio.

For the seventeenth year in a row, Songfestival.be conducted during November a poll, asking Eurofans to vote for their ten favourite Eurovision entries of all time. 2023, also, marks the first year that the results are announced via EFR12 Radio. Starting at 11:30 CET and for twelve hours straight, we had the chance to listen to what the Eurovision community considers as the all-time classics of the contest.

Hence, Loreen is the big winner of this year’s #ESC250 with her song “Euphoria“. Loreen represented Sweden in Eurovision 2012 with Euphoria and in 2023 with Tattoo which ended up in 2nd place.

Junior Eurovision 2025: Estonia withdraws from the children’s contest!

Just a month after the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest wrapped up, some disappointing news has emerged. ERR, Estonia’s national broadcaster, has announced that the country will not participate in the 2025 Junior Eurovision Song Contest due to financial constraints.

Budget reductions

ERR’s budget for 2025, approved yesterday, revealed a two-million-euro reduction in operational funds. Due to these budgetary restrictions, significant cuts will be made, particularly in the entertainment sector. As part of this policy, ERR decided that Estonia will not take part in Junior Eurovision 2025.

The budget cuts will also affect Eesti Laul, the national selection process for Eurovision 2025. Unlike previous years, the competition will be reduced to a single-night event, eliminating the semi-final round.

Shortly after Georgia‘s victory in Madrid, GPB announced that the country would host the next edition of Junior Eurovision in 2025. However, official statements from the EBU regarding the event’s full details, such as dates and locations, are expected to be released at a later stage.

As of now, several countries have already confirmed their participation in the 23rd Junior Eurovision Song Contest, including:

  • Georgia – GPB (Host Country)
  • Netherlands – AVROTROS
  • North Macedonia – MRT
  • San Marino – RTV San Marino

Estonia: Tommy Cash is confident that he will be the Eesti Laul 2025 winner!

In an interview with ERR, the country’s national broadcaster, Estonian rap star Tommy Cash said he was confident that the organizers of Estonia’s top song contest Eesti Laul would not miss the chance to include him among this year’s finalists. Cash also believes he is the best artist to represent Estonia at Eurovision 2025.

Cash told ERR that he had no doubt that his song would be selected for the upcoming edition of Eesti Laul, the competition that will determine who will represent Estonia at Eurovision in 2025.

“I always felt inside that [the judges] would definitely pick that song because I don’t think Eesti Laul is stupid and I don’t think they would pass up the opportunity for me to be in there as I think I could be the best representative for Estonia.”

According to Cash, now strategically is the right time in his career to compete in Eurovision.

“Because I have been working with Käärijä (Finland’s 2023 Eurovision contestant – ed.) and I started working with a producer who also produced the Finnish Eurovision song ‘Cha Cha Cha.’ Then there was this moment where I made a little joke on stage and said I was going to Eurovision and it snowballed so much from there. “When I was walking down the street, all the fans were like, ‘yeah, yeah, Eurovision!’ The internet picked up on it too and so, I feel like young people in Estonia have made up their minds about who is going to Eurovision. Of course, I also hope that everyone will like the song and I will do my best. But you never know. However, I would like to say with confidence that I could go to Eurovision right now.”

If Cash doesn’t win the next Eesti Laul, he said, he’ll be okay with that too.

“I’m totally fine with it, I understand and people will just have to imagine what would have happened if Tommy Cash had gone to Eurovision. I’m giving people the chance to think that I could actually go, because the competition actually starts if I were to win Eesti Laul, which is very important”

He also added that if he doesn’t win Eurovision, he would be satisfied with a top five finish.

Commenting on his participation in the Estonian contest Eesti Laul,  Cash finds his song “Espresso Macchiato” captivating.

“It’s something new for everyone. I’m often asked what I think about such a video or picture. Everything I do has a context for me, but for every person it’s different. Let people listen to it for themselves.”

In the end, Cash clarified that after 2025 he does not intend to compete in Eesti Laul again.

“Why? When I’m already going to Eurovision and I’m going to do it in such a legendary way”

The Eesti Laul 2025 is scheduled for February 15, 2025, when we will find out who will raise the Estonian flag at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, next May in Basel, Switzerland!
