Etonia was very succesful in the Eurovision Song Contest in the late 1990s and early 2000s, while after hosting the competition in 2002 this has dramatically changed: the country has finished 21st in 2003 and has never made it to the final since 2004 onwards. In 2008, Estonia will compete in one of the semi finals.
