Estonia at Eurovision 2018

Following the 10th edition of their national selection show Eesti Laul, Estonia selected the soprano singer Elina Nechayeva to fly the country’s flag in Lisbon with the Italian-lyric song La forza. With her deep voice and her characteristic projection dress, Elina became quickly one of the year’s clear favourites for the top positions, even for the victory.

In Lisbon, she participated at the first semi-final of the contest in May and easily went through to the grand final, where she earned a total of 245 points which were enough for her to end up 8th, one of the best Eurovision results for Estonia the current decade.
