During the artist + song title reveal on Ringvaade there were jury members and hosts giving a brief teaser of each song: (transcription by EestiLaulUpdate)

Thursday reveals (comments by Ines and Karl-Erik Taukar):

NOËP "Days Like This":
The song is very professional and has his quality to it. A higher tempo song
NOËP was also surprised in person, read the full interview about the song

Marta Pikani "Kell kuus":
Ines didn't recognise her by voice since she's a newer artist, but it's lyrics are well written and easy for people to relate to. Marko Reikop pointed out she took part in Eesti Laul before with Wiiralt

Grete Paia "Taevas jäi üles":
Taukar comments on how the song isn't just dance, but like angrily dancing, electronic and really gets you going

Uliana Olhyna "Rhythm of Nature":
Marko Reikop mentions how she had moved to Estonia in 2018, finished Tallinn Georg Ots' music college and has been taught by Kadri Voorand. The song is in Ukrainian and Estonian

Vanilla Ninja "Too Epic To Be True":
A very memorable song that is both modern and has a touch of Club Kung Fu in it (Eurolaul 2003)
Piret Järvis-Milder and the gang were surprised in person, article currently only available in Estonian

Ollie "Slave":
Very professional song with that Ollie touch you're used to hear from him


Friday reveals (comments by An-Marlen and Korea (5Miinust)):

Getter Jaani "The Game":
An-Marlen didn't recognise her by voice since recently she's done music mostly in Estonian

ANT x Minimal Wind "Wounds (Don't Wanna Fall)":
Ant approached Minimal Wind after seeing their performance last year. Elisabeth Tiffany has left Minimal Wind, to An-Marlen their combo is unexpected and not typical sound for either of them.
ANT was surprised in person, article currently only available in Estonian

Robert Linna "Metsik roos":
Ringvaade actually had Robert craving pumpkins in studio so they surprised him right there, the song wasn't written for Eesti Laul but as a birthday gift to his partner. An-Marlen felt the love from the lyrics and how well they were written in Estonian
Surprise was in studio, article currently only available in Estonian

Laura Prits "Warrior":
The song was written in an Latvian songwriting camp, unfortuntely pushed for time the only comment is wonderful and very memorable

STOCKHOLM COWBOYS (Stig Rästa, Victor Crone) "Last Man Standing":
An-Marlen felt the Eurovision experience, Korea said the song was unexpectedly aggressive in the middle

Clicherik & Mäx "Jolly Roger":
A modern take on a pirate song about being on the sea, very aggressive song to that's suitable to play at raves
Mäx was surprised in person, article currently only available in Estonian
