With a similar appearance to the one she performed in the Eesti Laul 2023 final, Alika will appear in Liverpool. This means that she will have her special piano with her!
In Alika’s Bridges performance at Eurovision 2023 she will play the piano that was part of Eesti Laul’s performance. The revelation was made earlier this week as Tallinn Airport shared photos of her piano being shipped to Liverpool as part of preparations for the contest.
This is of course not surprising, since almost all the Estonian representatives in the competition retain the stage appearance they had in Eesti Laul to Eurovision as well, with some improvements of course.
Estonia is competing in the second semi-final, with the betting so far putting them on track to qualify for the grand final.
Stay tuned to Eurovisionfun for all the updates!

The second and last semi-final of Eesti Laul 2023, the selection process for the next Estonian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, has just finished. In today’s second semi-final, ten songs competed for the remaining five tickets leading to the grand final.
The presenters of the evening were, yet again, Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets while the show took place at Viimsi Artium in Viimsi.
The Participants:
The artists that participated in the second semi-final of Eesti Laul 2023 were as follows:
Inger is opening the second semi-final. His performance starts with him being on a round platform, sitting on a chair. Although he is very present and playful during his performance, he has trouble with his vocals.
2.Linalakk & Bonzo – “Aeg”
The first Estonian ballad of the night. An atmospheric setting yet an uneventful performance.
3. Meelik –“Tuju”
Meelik are using a black and white effect for their performance until the third chorus. They were very professional and had a well thought-out performance.
4. Elysa – “Bad Philosophy”
The second runner-up of Eesti Laul 2022 performs an 80s influenced pop song. She is accompanied by three dancers that were stylized as David Bowie. A pretty wooden performance from her behalf.
5. Robin Juhkental – “Kurbuse matused”
Robin is accompanied by a pianist, a drummer and a dancer. It’s a nice performance but it fails to generate any emotion.
6. m els – “So Good At What You Do”
The red colour prevails in m els’ performance. She performs while standing on a high platform. She’s a present performer and a good vocalist.
7. Wiiralt – “Salalik“
Another black and white performance on tonight’s semi-final. It’s a good performance but very reminiscent of Meelik’s performance.
8.Sissi – “Lighthouse”’
Sissi is dressed in white for her Eesti Laul performance. Manages to stand out and make a statement while being on her own.
9.Carlos Ukareda – “Whiskey Won’t Forget”
Carlos is alone with a guitar on the stage. He’s dressed in black. A flawless performance.
10.Alika – “Bridges”
Alika is accompanied by a piano that has the illusion of playing on it’s own. She’s dressed in white. A charismatic performer.
The results:
The five artists who qualified for the final of Eesti Laul 2023 were determined after two rounds of voting. In the first round of voting, four qualifiers were determined by a 50% jury and 50% televoting system. In the second round of voting, a new vote was held and one more qualifier was chosen solely by the televoting.
Before announcing the results, the presenters announced the jury’s top four favourites in random order with them being Alika, Meelik, Sissi and Wiiralt!
In the first round, the following four songs qualified:
After the announcement of the televote qualifier of the second semi-final, the presenters announced that two more artists who did not make it directly from the semi-finals to the finals will also qualify for the final of Eesti Laul through phone votes only.

These are the artists who didn’t qualify from the Eesti Laul semi-finals:

After Ollie’s bombastic performance, Andreas sings an ethereal ballad accompanied by a female dancer. Low lighting prevails.
9. Bedwetters – “Monsters”
The second rock song of the semi-final. The Bedwetters have an eccentric performance reminiscent of Winny Puhh. A freak-show.
10. Anett x Fredi – “You Need to Move On”
