"Kaelakee hääl" - Maarja-Liis Ilus & Ivo Linna
"If I lose sight of you I will look for the necklace, the voice from the sea or clouds is calling for me"
The Estonian Final was held on January 27th at the Dekoltee nightclub in Tallinn, hosted by Marko Reikop & Karmel Eikner. Some of the participating singers were not actually present and instead appeared on a video wall screen, however Kirile Loo didn't appear at all (not even on the video screen) so during her song there were simply lots of shots of the stage. The winner was chosen by an "expert" jury. As there was a tie between songs 2 and 12, song 12 was declared the winner as it had received one top vote of 10 points whereas song 2 had not received any top votes.
