Marta Lotta with “Tantsin veel (I’m still dancing)” will be the 16th and final participant of Eesti Laul 2025 , as she won the wildcard through the online vote of the Estonian public.
As you were first informed through OGAE Greece , the voting process ran from December 28th and ended yesterday, January 5th . Twenty songs competed and “Tantsin veel” stood out – albeit literally by a thread – in the preference of the Estonian public.
Margus Kamlat, editor-in-chief of Radio 2, where the results of the public vote were broadcast this morning, 6/1, said that the voting was a thriller with several twists. The first four songs almost tied and their positions were alternating until the last minute. Finally, at the end of the day, Marta Lotta was the one who received the coveted ticket to the Eesti Laul final.
Although Marta has less time to prepare for the final than the other 15 finalists, she already has her stage presence planned. As she said, “get ready to see the biggest disco on the Eesti Laul stage!”
