Earlier this month, ERR announced the running of the 2 2014 Eesti Laul semi-finals. You can find out more about the running order here.

Estonia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1994 with the entry Nagu merelaine performed by the late Silvi Vrait. They ended in 24th place with a total of 2 points. Estonia’s best result was in 2001 when Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL were selected to represent their country in the host city of Copenhagen. At the grand final they received a total of 198 points with their song Everybody eventually winning the contest, bringing Estonia their first and only victory to date.

Last year Birgit Õigemeel won the Estonian national selection with her song Et uus saaks alguse. Birgit qualified from the semi-final, eventually ending in 20th place at the grand final.
