The above is NOT a running order for each SF - remember that Melodifestivalen is strictly based on the song, not the artist, so those song titles are in alphabetical order. I mean, they aren't going to get Loreen back and NOT give her the 'pimp slot', are they? We won't know who sings where in Sweden until February at the earliest or what any of these songs sound like - Estonia have that already sorted. Here is each Eesti Laul SF entry plus their videos...
Semi-Final 1
Andreas – ‘Why Do You Love Me’
Anett x Fredi – ‘You Need To Move On’
Bedwetters – ‘Monsters’
Ellip – ‘Pretty Girl'
Janek – ‘House Of Glass'
kaw – ‘Valik’
MERLYN – ‘Unicorn Vibes’
MIA – ‘Üks samm korraga’
Neon Letters & Maiko – ‘Tokimeki’

A lot of the Eesti Laul entries are out already, so you will hear those on the show, hopefully in time for the SFs that are mid January.
Could we have the same 1-2 as we did in Turin?
