In the latest round, you were asked to predict the winner of Estonia’s Eesti Laul. Now, let’s take a look at who you collectively expect to win the Estonian ticket to Liverpool!
Back in December, submitted entries were presented to a preselection jury. This jury chose 12 songs to advance to the final stage.
The final round of Selecţia Naţională will take place tonight. This will be a single television and online show where all 12 songs will be performed live. The winning song will be decided exclusively through a public televote.
The running order for Selecţia Naţională 2023 was also drawn, which is as follows:

Our players have an…unfortunate track record with Romanian selections. Last year, 40% of players predicted that Dora Gaitanovici would win Selecția Națională 2022 with her rock ballad “Ana”, while 30% predicted WRS’ win correctly.
Infamously, almost 50% of players predicted that Laura Bretan would win with “Dear Father” back in 2019. Meanwhile, eventual winner Ester Peony received…one prediction.
Even when the artist was already chosen…our players still predicted the wrong song! In 2020, almost 70% predicted that “Cherry Red” would win Roxen’s selection, with eventual winner “Alcohol You” getting just over 26%.
After each national final, the points will be assigned and you will receive a rankings update via our Eurovision Prediction platform. Furthermore, we will make sure to notify you via our Eurovision Prediction Facebook page, our Eurovision Prediction Twitter page and here on the ESCXTRA website. The player that accumulates the most points after all the rounds have taken place will be crowned the winner of Eurovision Prediction 2023!
Last year, our players correctly predicted 12 national final winners out of 25.
In 2021, our players predicted the correct national winners 7 out of 13 times.
In 2020, 10 of out 27 times…an all-time low. To be fair, 2020 was a very unpredictable year in general.

In 2018, your record was 19 out of 30, which remains the record.
