FINLAND, THIS IS SO AWESOME, I LOVE IT! I was so happy to see that this qualified. The song is world class, and they're really great live. This deserves to be in the top 10 for sure. Good luck neighbors, from Sweden! :)
Denmark made the best Eurovision stage it's one of the best stages what I have seen overall atmosphere is great like every year Eurovision is greatest music event ever good job Denmark! greetings from Finland :D
I have never been so nervous waiting for the results before. I am so insanely happy that Finland has qualified, thoroughly deserved, great stadium filler song. Good luck Finland!!
Thank you Europe for voting quality! Let's bring Eurovision back to the days where it was just about the song! I'm cheering for the Netherlands, Finland, Norway and Montenegro!
I'm SO happy to see they did SO GREAT!!! I'm not even Finnish but I'm so proud of Softengine. I'm glad I can support them in the final, and happy to know this group thanks to Eurovision. Topi looks very handsome! All the best from Spain.
In this ESC world of purchased music-industry songs these young guys show that if you are talented you can write a world-class song even at your grandparents' summer cottage. Good luck Softengine, I hope you will get masses of votes on Saturday night! You deserve all of them!
Some say that his live vocals are not the best. True. But this is a SONG contest and not a singing contest. So the best song should win concerning composition and lyrics. These guys are only 17 - 19 years old, composed the song and its lyrics completely on their own. The lyrics are about an old man who, after his wife died, looks back at his life and realizes that his life was "something better" than he always thought. Written by 17 - 19 year olds!!! They were a garage school band half a year ago. Their song is not plagiarism, it is original, unlike some other songs in the contest. They are so authentic, only them and their instruments on stage, no hamster wheels, no seesaw, no trampoline. Only them and their instruments. They are pure. Only them and their song. Please VOTE for them, they deserve to win.
My winner this year! Come on Finland, that rock song, your voices and those beautiful faces (I had to say it haha) deserve to bring Eurovision back to Finland! 12 points from a Spaniard in the UK :) Don't forget to vote if you like it (or if you like it, Spain, of course xD), these guys really deserve every vote.
Please VOTE MASSIVELY for Finland. Together we can make them win if we all don't think "hope they win, but i let others vote fore them". No! EVERYONE of us has to vote for them massively to make them win!
I'm so proud of these guys! Europe, if you want them to succeed in the final, VOTE for them! It's not gonna happen if all of you think "someone else is going to vote them, so I don't have to". Please!
these comments almost makes me cry :') idk everyone are so supportive and this is so big step for these guys, once again i can be proud finnish helvetin ylpee näist jätkist ! ♥
Sama !! :D kyll uskon et nää tulee pärjää ja hyvin !!! toivottavasti topin ääni vaa kestää hyvi :/:) ja hyvä ku ollaa heti ruottin jälkee ni pyyhkästää lattia niitte alta sit :Dd
If you like this non-standard eurovision song please massively vote for it in the final on Saturday, May 10th. Each of us can give up to 20 televotes for Finland. If we all do that together we can make them win! Tell all your friends (also those who usually aren't into Eurovision) to do the same.
The lyrics of this song tell a story about an old man who reminisces about his life from childhood to the present day. He has always been dissatisfied with his life as it seems that he never achieved anything and has not done anything out of the ordinary. However, after his wife dies the man understands that all this means nothing and realizes that what he and his wife had was something better than he could have ever achieved. (cited from an Interview with Topi Latukka, lead singer of Softengine)
In Finland the translator had really gone through the lyrics (we can read translations of the songs in Finnish while perfromances) I understood them better. The first lines of the song are the man's parents' thoughts when he was born: "Even human bound, people rolling dice. Image on the ground, such a novel life, he thought, while knowing nothing at all." - _His father_ "Every option noted or tendency made, they will carry on until the perfect date, she said, while knowing nothing at all." - _His mother_ "All the rules well known, they mean nothing to me. Everything I'm used to seems to be fine misshapen made up fantasy, should let go, should let go! ..... * continuing * " - _The man himself_
sry for disappointing but the music isnt live on any band there bc the instruments cant be mixed so fast for different songs and instruments, but i agree that it looks really good when they ''play'' the song for real there bc they do it so well :D
I am so glad they made it to the final and now i wish for them to make their best performance on Saturday! I voted 15 times for their song! I am not sure if they will be the big surprise in the final and win but they deserve to be in top10!
Same here, first the song sounded bland but suddenly they were really good on ESC stage. In Finland even the media kind of ignored them, until the first rehearsals in Copenhagen.
Great that this went through! It is really nice and cathy song that is also something a bit different from tonights many up tempo pop songs (most of them really good though). I guess there is SOMETHING BETTER in the finals now!
This is the best Eurovision 2014 song! I hope they win!
Remember to vote!
Of course :)
Yh it was the best. Too bad people dont vote because of the music. ;)

Finland was the absolute best of Eurovision 2014, if not the best in history of Eurovision.
big plus for playing the music live, not only vocals! :)
sry for disappointing but the music isnt live on any band there bc the instruments cant be mixed so fast for different songs and instruments, but i agree that it looks really good when they ''play'' the song for real there bc they do it so well :D
vveeri ii damn, shame on me... :(
Most deserving..Best of luck :):)
i never notice them before,, but now i realize their song is very great...god luck finland!!!!!
I like that you said ''god luck'' and not good luck
I'm sorry,, i should type "good luck" not "god luck",sorry
yunan syah No worries mate. I wasn't trying to be mean or anything. I just found it funny so you don't have to be sorry. :)
hehe, but thank you,,you have corrected me
I am so glad they made it to the final and now i wish for them to make their best performance on Saturday! I voted 15 times for their song! I am not sure if they will be the big surprise in the final and win but they deserve to be in top10!
You're awesome, thank you!!!
They surprised me. I didn't like the studio version, it was so plain... but I've loved their live performance. Really surprising. Good luck, Finland!
Same here, first the song sounded bland but suddenly they were really good on ESC stage. In Finland even the media kind of ignored them, until the first rehearsals in Copenhagen.
