Estonia ESTONIA 2025 - Tommy Cash - Espresso macchiato

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[AlekS]

I'm not into Finlandization of Eesti Laul with Meh-lody Blandfestivalen rejects, so my choice is Gem98.

 

[Kairit]

Not even a Tommy Cash fan at all but... Espresso Macchiato is fantastic. I thought there was a chance he'd have to carry through with the brand and persona, but I like the song and the people I know like it too. Have had it on repeat since this morning when I first heard it. But yeah, it's not even half the story lol. He's promising an extravagant promotional and social media campaign if he were to win Eesti Laul, and I have high hopes for the staging of course. He's in the Little Big-Käärijä-Joost realm, but with even bigger ambition, I doubt any of his journey is gonna be disappointing. Not everyone's gonna 'get it', but that's far from a requirement to do well.

2nd fave is An-Marlen. I love the song, I love her, it's not going to come any close to winning, but I still think she has huge potential as a pop artist.
LOVE Ant Nurhan, fantastic singer and person with great potential as well to do some great things. The song didn't hit me though, I know he really wants to make it to Eurovision and I know he has a fanbase behind him, because he won Superstaari, but he's gonna have to come back and I hope he does.

It's gonna be Tommy.

Let the overhype begin.

Espresso Macchiato is such a gem. It is simple, effective and REALLY into Eurovision bubble. It is winning for sure.

Great selection! So many good songs, i love it. Elysa & Anna are my faves, but also the rest of my Top 5 would be good choices.

he's my 3rd! great song

 

[laululind]

Yeah, Tommy's definitely another love-it-or-hate-it song. Fun and catchy for some and annoying lame joke for others. Kind of like 5Miinust last year, but probably even more divisive. Well, anti-voting isn't really possible for televoters, so you just have to hope there are enough who fall in the love camp. Tommy should be happy we no longer have a 2-song superfinal, if it gets to that point come February. Juries are another matter. Wonder if we'll get another more 'Eurovision friendly' EL jury this time, like last year. If so, Tommy could do OK, provided his vocals aren't a total mess. If it's a bunch of serious music professionals tho', things will be unpredictable. With 16 songs, the odds of potentially getting a jury 0 definitely increases.
I guess my ideal superfinal would currently be Stereo Terror, Zevakin and Tommy. Would be fine with several other too tho', and who knows what the live performances will bring.

I'm not worried about the jury. Tommy is very well known for him to get at least around 6th place.

Me, sitting by the sidelines with thundering indifference: it's too boring to be a love-or-hate song :-)

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Sincerely, Eesti Laul songs this year are kinda underwhelming. For sure the worst edition in years, songwise.

Elysa is IMPRESSIVELY bad. What the actual GARBAGE?!

I'm not surprised: Fire was garbage aswell. I don't get what She did to be so hyped up by the fandom, tbh.

 

[outsynk]

Tommy Cash to win please.

Edit: Double post but bears repeating.

 

[BorisBubbles]

I'm not surprised: Fire was garbage as well.

Different type of garbage though. Fire was at least comically bad. Like, ESC is music as entertainment rly, and it was entertaining to watch.

Elysa's bad song (forgot its name) is "Surface" (that awful Simon Peyron duet from a few years back) with twee vocals. Not a single second of it will be interesting, and *every* cloying second of it will be irritable and tedious.


Like I wouldn't be surprised if even Looren refuses to touch its grime.

 

[Charly]

Por favore, uno espresso macchiato or I become despresso

 

[Sammy]

My Top Three:

1. Janek - Frozen
2. Tommy Cash - Espresso Macchiato
3. Sahlene - Love me now.

2-Felin "Solo Anthem"
3-Gem98 "Psycho"
4-Stereo Terror "Prty Till the End of the World"

[Looren]

Like I wouldn't be surprised if even Looren refuses to touch its grime.

Ehhh I mean I thought it was ok, but yeah if a song that style is only "ok" for me and doesn't hit at all then yeah red flag
