Tonight is the night for selecting Estonian representative for the 48th Eurovision Song Contest in Riga. The show will start at 20.35 CET and will be broadcasted by Estonian Television.

Eurolaul 2003 will take place in the Estonian Television (ETV) studios not in the Tallinn City Concerthall like last year and the hosts for the evening are journalist of newspaper Eesti Päevaleht Romi Erlach and well-known face in ETV Marko Reikop.

As esctoday.com has reported before public favourite is certain, Vanilla Ninja and Club “Kung Fu”, but what does international jury think is highly unpredictable.

SLÕhtuleht wrote an article about the latest thoughts and moods:

Priit Pajusaar (Composer of two songs performed by Kadi Toom) said that he hopes that a day will come soon then a song performed in Estonian will make it to the final round. “At the present time it's very unlikely“, Pajusaar believes.

Sven Lõhmus (Composer of Club “Kung Fu” and I can B the1) says that he loves joyful music, a sadness will take even him into depression. “Club “Kung Fu” is a result of plain work. No song which I have written is better from the others“, he told to SLÕhtuleht.

Last minute replacements
