Probably has been mentioned already but we are getting some of the first songs of next year's National Final season early, courteousy of Estonia.
Quoting Eurovoix:
"Tomi Rahula, Producer of Eesti Laul has revealed that quarterfinals are being introduced for the Estonian selection for Eurovision 2022.
Up to forty songs will be competing to represent Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest, with Tomi Rahula revealing changes to the format of Eesti Laul. Speaking this evening on ETV, he explained that there will be four additional shows with ten songs in each show.
From each of the quarterfinals, five songs will be selected to qualify for the semifinals. In the semi-finals, ten songs will compete, with five songs qualifying for the Grand Final from each show.
ERR stated that the change in the format is to give the public the chance to hear more songs that would have otherwise been left out of the selection. (I think I really smell a money grab )"
The first quarter-final will be 20 November 2021. While it is known the semi-finals and Final will be live, the quarter-finals will have the songs will be presented as music videos with voting taking place after they have been presented.
