**NOTE: I'm sorry for the shitty 2008 quality visuals in the video. This is what happens when a broadcaster doesn't make any of the music videos available on YouTube.**

My Top 24 of Eesti Laul 2019, the Estonian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Opinions are all my own, and if you disagree I'm sorry. I own none of the songs in this video, and all rights are reserved to the original performers, songwriters, and record companies. 

Definitely a decent batch of songs. While Eesti Laul is nowhere near the quality it was at in the early-to-mid-2010s, it has definitely picked up after the abysmal 2017 and 2018 editions. All of my top five could earn themselves a very respectable placing in my official top 42 should they represent Estonia, and most of my top fifteen would place somewhere in the middle in my top 42. I must say though, Sandra Nurmsalu was one of my most anticipated acts in any national final for a while (I've been waiting for her return for 5 years), and I was very disappointed. Even though I hate most of Sven Lõhmus's music, she definitely had better songs with him. Also I need to add that this video is already slightly outdated, because as I was editing I realised that I loved my No.23 song much more than I originally ranked it, and it honestly should be in my top ten.
