Such a good way to check how UMK has evolved too. I'm still a bit sad that there were many problems with the audio when Emma was performing, she was my winner.
Soyneccent Yeah it's pretty much garanteed to be underrated :( it seems that Eurovision fans never give slow songs a chance. it can't all be fun, upbeat pop.
After re-watching all the reaction videos this one has to be my favourite of the season. Thank god for UMK aye. Uk reaction was very close but this one was great cause you 100% believed this was the genuine first reaction 😀😂
I want to become a member of Emma's cult now ;D She's the best with no doubt! I really want her to win and slay at Eurovision to get Finland back to the top of the scoreboard :D
My favourites (in order) are Reach Out For the Sun, Blackbird, Circle of Light and Hellpo Elämä but I think that the one that will win is definitely "My Little World". They'll slay the live performance and as we've found in recent years, Fins don't care what anyone else thinks.
I agree with everything you two just said! Finally someone who knows something about music explains the good things and the bad things in each song and what are the problems in some of them. I just really love this video💕 ps. My favourites are Emma & Alva and I think Emma would be the best choise to win the UMK and represent Finland in the ESC✨ Greetings from Finland!❤
I totally disagree with you about Blackbird. Maybe because you were hearing this for the first time, you haven't noticed the magic in the song. I think it's really interesting. Finland hasn't had good results recenlty and I think it's time for Finland to send something different, less mainstream.
wiwibloggs Me too! But I'm also excited what Alva will do! I'm not a big fan of the studio version, but I think that her song could be a masterpiece with a good staging.
These are my opinions for the first time I heard the songs, and my opinions have not changed: (1) Perfect Villain - perfect song!!! Absolutely love it! Love the lyrics, love the rhythm, love the voice. My favorite! If this gets chosen for ESC2017, Finland will definitely be in my top 10. (2) Circle of Light - I also really love this! It's my second favorite, I'd be very happy if it gets chosen. It sounds very cultural and modern at the same time. You compared it to Hear Them Calling, which I did not like, but I really really love this one. (3) Love Yourself - The lyrics are too weird for me, I had a similar reaction to yours. I enjoyed the rhythm of the chorus though, that was nice and catchy. (4) Paradise - I didn't like this as much. It's too mehh for me. It sounds chill, but way too chill. I need more! Something is missing. And of course the lyrics are weird here too. (5) Arrows - this is so cuteeee! Sounds adorable. She's so young too! I love it. It is my third favorite. Love the build up - arrows, arrows, ARROWS! It might be too cutesy and not enough for Eurovision, but I would love for it to go through. (6) Black Bird - it's so peaceful. I can listen to this for hours. It makes me feel very calm. However, not for Eurovision. Eurovision needs to be loud, crazy, memorable. This song is too slow, too peaceful. An amazing song, but not a Eurovision song. Sounds like Birds by Anouk. (7) Helppo Elama - a nice build up to the chorus. However, the chorus sucks. I don't like the beat. I totally agree with your review of that one. (8) Caveman - I hate this, yet I can't stop listening to the chorus. It's so bad that I kinda like it haha :P (9) Reach out for the Sun - beautiful song! I love it! Love the chorus, love everything about it! (10) My Little World - I thought Caveman was a joke, then I listened to this. What even is this and why is it here? ------ Perfect Villain, Circle of Light, Arrows and Reach out for the Sun are my favorites!
I loved the video since I was listening the songs for the 1st tine too. What's funny my reactions were the same as yours guys. Keep the good job guys! Europe loves ya! ❤😂
can't agree more with the previous contributor....."Blackbird" is beautiful.....it's simplicity and authenticity is purely stunning.....please Finland, pick this!! it would 12 points from Ireland!!
EMMA - YAS QUEEN!!! This song is so epic. Right away you are transported to ancient Celtic Tír na Nóg realness. This is what IReland should be sending instead of tired Westlift washups with snoozefest songs. Emma is serving Eimear Quinn realness and Im heading straight for those canapés! The imagery is going to be amazing, have her dancing in a jumpin/dancing circle of light with celtic charms floating around her keeping out bad images and all those other awful predatory finnish singers (they cant kiss her paradise in the cricle of life!!!) This would qualify for the final and finish 15-20th
Yes, seksi means sex but we also use it in words like "ilmaiseksi" which means "for free" and "huomiseksi" which means "for tomorrow" in other words "seksi" stands for the word "for" in Finnish too, but only when it's connected to another word. There are cases too were "seksi" stands for word "into" like "naiseksi" which means "into a woman." There are too many stands for the word but it basically means "sex" only when it is not connected to another word.
I think Circle of Light could actually do really well in Kyiv! Also Blackbird just really reminds me of Birds (Anouk), and obviously not a good version!
Perfect villain: Yup, powerful voice, but that's all. The lyrics make no sense to me and kryptonite is NOT the weakness of X-men :'DD Overall the song is bland and boring. Not my cup of tea, I'd like to hear Zühlke with a more powerful song that fits her voice better. Circle of light: My fav, I really hope this wins! It's mystical, not that ordinary, it has good instrumental, great lyrics and good singer! Best changes to do well in ESC I think. Love yourself: Omg William's first reaction was the exact same than mine. The lyrics shine sexuality and I couldn't help but think how the song is about masturbating lmao... No-go for me, and no-go for ESC. I really like the radio voices though, nice ItaloBrothers vibes there~ Paradise: The song might be horny and about sex, which I don't approve, but I love it! I love the melody, it's catchy. And the ay-ays in the chorus are so nice~ I'm not sure how it would do in Eurovision though, so not winner material, just my own pleasure~ >:D Arrows: It's alright, I find it a bit overrated though. The song is very forgettable excluding the chorus, but I really approve the positive message! The chorus is really nice and it's easy to remember unlike the verses. And it's radio-friendly too as you said. Blackbird: I quite like it, but it's really depressing, Eurovision should be a happy event! In a first listen it was really boring. But it doesn't really build up. The message is beautiful though, the song is full of emotion. Helppo elämä: Instrumental = Heroes + Heartbeat The song is okay, but it reminds me too much of previous entries. Caveman: This is horrible earrape. Please, get out, what an horrible joke entry. Go back to your cave. Reach out for the sun: This builds up so nicely! But the explosion that I expected after the chorus did not come... It has positive message and lyrics, and Anni has a very pleasing voice. I love it, we'll have to see the live. My little world: This is so creepy, I don't like it... And the singing is horrifying. Negative and boring. No please.
I'ld just like to add in a note, In English pop-culture, calling something your 'Kryptonite' is just a general way of calling something your weakness and has become a phrase outside of superheros and comic-book geeks.
I'm absolutely agree with you guys! Except for the three girls, the umk in general are very disappointed this year. I love this kind of videos with first reactions.
My standouts are 'Circle of Light', 'Blackbird' & 'Arrows' but the song that I believe could do the best job for Finland next year is by far 'Circle of Light' it has so much potential :) ❤️ I just hope the live performance will be just as good
wiwibloggs well yeah of course lol but from what we heard so far, this is already better than the other 9 songs. I just hope that they can keep the lead with the live performance :)
Hi William and Deban! Are you going to compete for San Marino in the Eurovision with the song "Slayage Realness (Honey!)" I see it in Wikipedia just now while browsing at work hours. 😂
Thank you, guys, these videos give me life! :D We agree on almost everything. Emma and Alva are very good indeed. Lauri's and Anni's songs both have amazing verses which lead to weak and disappointing choruses. The only difference is that I like Zühlke's song and you don't. :D
I really think Emma' Circle of Light is the one to beat in UMK this year! (and I love that you guys - William and Deban I mean, had the strongest first reaction to that song, which says something). With Alva' s Arrows and Anni's Reaching For The Sun following not far behind. But we're talking about UMK, so you actually never know... Does anybody know if they will keep those weird 'juries' they had last year?!
Personally, I have several songs I like, and in a completely different way: For me, Blackbird is gorgeous and not boring, Arrow is an awesome song too and I also like the cheesiness and sass of Perfect Villain. Circle of Light is also a very good song, maybe the 'safest' bet of UMK 2017. But my winner would have to be Gunther! He is so provocative and he would definitely be noted on ESC stage. The worst one is definitely Caveman song. I also don't like Paradise, because it's being unintentionally x-rated. Gunther is straightforward in it's kinkiness and I like it. I am inclined to agree with William - We need ALL varieties of acts: The deep meaningful songs, strong rock entries, maybe some side-genre music like opera or jazz as well, then few mediocre ones and finally, few trainwrecks. And even trainwrecks can be sorted out in two categories: guilty pleasure and just rubbish. Isn't it much more boring if most songs end-up as just okay; no more-no less. Then you have nothing to enjoy and nothing to complain about either. It's just boring. I'd rather have all varieties. I have NO IDEA which song might win UMK 2017, but knowing Finland, it could be ANY of them.
Zuhlke- Love her voice and attitude on that song. number 7 to me. Emma- Good song, not best. I like that Rakas-part and those violins. number 6 to me. Gunther&D´Sanz- Chorus is catchy. Gunther is legend! number 3 to me. My first band- Love those high notes. Love Antti´s voice. I just love those guys. number 2 to me. Alva- Little-Krista have beautiful voice. Song is beautiful, nothing great. number 8 to me. Norma John- They aren´t Norma&John, they are Leena and Lasse from Norma John. Leena was in finnish XFactor 2010, Lasse is keyboard player who plays in bands of finnish artists and tv programs. Song is breathtaking and when I heard it first time I cried. It´s breakup song. number 4 to me Lauri Yrjölä- Man of my dreams. Hottest guy ever! Love his voice and song is catchy. And he is really sweet too. My number one favorite. Knucklebone Oscar- It is hilarious. Song make me happy! number 5 to me. Anni Saikku- nice song but nothing special really. Kinda Ok. Number 9 to me. Club La Perse- First I hated. But it was stuck in my head. I like that tittidiididi- part. But they can´t sing at all. number 10 to me.
I watched the UMK yesterday and tbh Alva couldn't sing very well live. She might be too young because her voice didn't have the strong power and passion like others. But young women can have dreams :) ♥
the problem is the finnish broadcaster YLE. They think weird means success in the eurovision. i honestly think Finland should have a rock/metal song because that's where we're good at
Anyone's back here just to watch their reactions? I love rewatching this video!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
so iconic, miss them reacting together
Such a good way to check how UMK has evolved too. I'm still a bit sad that there were many problems with the audio when Emma was performing, she was my winner.
WE ARE SAFE IN THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT NOTHING BAD WILL EVER CROSS THE LINE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
eurofannn91 sing it out!
wiwibloggs sing it ouuuuuutt, a million voices!
Lol guys that was exactly my reaction to Circle of Light when I first heard it. I was like YAAS my first favorite of 2017!
Armond Ghazarian She's got a strong chance to win for sure. Glad you enjoyed her!
Emma is soooo good. #teamemma
Circle of life 😍 Finland will qualify this year
EMMA IT IS! There's no other way 😍
So much support for her - loving it!
wiwibloggs yes! Gurl imma vote for dat song 👍🏽❤️
i love you guys. I laughed so hard watching this. Defo one of the best vids to date
Norma John- Blackbird is definitely my favourite. such a beautiful song.
liamtsh96 Same but im scared it will be underrated if chosen
Soyneccent Yeah it's pretty much garanteed to be underrated :( it seems that Eurovision fans never give slow songs a chance. it can't all be fun, upbeat pop.
liamtsh96 Most viewers dont see the beauty from slow starting songs :(
The juries would probably appreciate it more though.
liamtsh96 excited to hear her live. She'll probably slay the vocal and with the right staging could be magic
After re-watching all the reaction videos this one has to be my favourite of the season. Thank god for UMK aye. Uk reaction was very close but this one was great cause you 100% believed this was the genuine first reaction 😀😂
I want to become a member of Emma's cult now ;D
She's the best with no doubt! I really want her to win and slay at Eurovision to get Finland back to the top of the scoreboard :D
Emmmmmmaaaaaaaaaa
My all time favourite Wiwi video
Reach Out For The Sun is my favorite!
Circle of Light is definitely my winner. Blackbird is so depressing although I love her voice
My favourites (in order) are Reach Out For the Sun, Blackbird, Circle of Light and Hellpo Elämä but I think that the one that will win is definitely "My Little World". They'll slay the live performance and as we've found in recent years, Fins don't care what anyone else thinks.
I agree with everything you two just said! Finally someone who knows something about music explains the good things and the bad things in each song and what are the problems in some of them. I just really love this video💕
ps. My favourites are Emma & Alva and I think Emma would be the best choise to win the UMK and represent Finland in the ESC✨
Greetings from Finland!❤
Loving your comment! thank you for watching the video!!!
Emma is my music teatcher in seden XD
I totally disagree with you about Blackbird. Maybe because you were hearing this for the first time, you haven't noticed the magic in the song. I think it's really interesting. Finland hasn't had good results recenlty and I think it's time for Finland to send something different, less mainstream.
I'm really happy with Finland's choice, but to be honest, I didn't expect Norma John could win :)
In this year there are lots of Finlansvensk singers.(Combination of Finnish and Swedish person.)
Very happy with this video. I love Alva and Emma the most. But probably that self pleasuring Love Yourself will win.
Deniz NL haha. Finland definitely has a curious track record when picking it's winners
***** Exactly
I hope GUNTHER wins! I touch myself everyday so it would be great to have a song on eurovision that describes my life :D
XSunacX Hahaha XD
u rlly like the song? •.•
I've learned the whole lyrics in just 2 days and one time i replayed it for half an hour!
XSunacX o
Dont you think its so cheesy I cant stand the lyrics
Lighthouse X and San Marino 2015 were cheesy,this is fun!
XSunacX 😂😂😂
Emma is GOLD!! She is amazing!
Love her. Cannot wait to see staging. Have been following her on Instagram for any and all clues
wiwibloggs Me too! But I'm also excited what Alva will do! I'm not a big fan of the studio version, but I think that her song could be a masterpiece with a good staging.
Love Circle of life and Arrows
These are my opinions for the first time I heard the songs, and my opinions have not changed:
(1) Perfect Villain - perfect song!!! Absolutely love it! Love the lyrics, love the rhythm, love the voice. My favorite! If this gets chosen for ESC2017, Finland will definitely be in my top 10.

------
Perfect Villain, Circle of Light, Arrows and Reach out for the Sun are my favorites!
Desi Esc Where is club la perse lol
idk why but tbh umk is better than the eurovision's itself lol im still addicted to umk17 even in 2019
Finland and Estonia are so strong this year, my gosh*-*
Im loving lauri the most
Circle of Light and Arrows SLAY ME
•T•O•M• let us walk in the circle of light!

My Favorite is Emma - Circle Of Light
HELPPO ELÄMÄ 😍😍😍😍
yaaas
Ivan ✋✋✋
Charlotte Carson Yess love it
PianoMaja ✋✋✋
can't agree more with the previous contributor....."Blackbird" is beautiful.....it's simplicity and authenticity is purely stunning.....please Finland, pick this!!
it would 12 points from Ireland!!
x-men and kryptonite doesn't below in same sentence
But somehow I liked those comic references. Not bad song.
I like your videos with reactions! Keep making them :D
Thank you! Belarus and Spain coming soon!
***** Yay! Are you going to make a video with Polsih preselection? Of course if we will make them.
Thanks So Much For Doing My all days Funny! thanks wiwibloggs!!!!!
EMMA - YAS QUEEN!!! This song is so epic. Right away you are transported to ancient Celtic Tír na Nóg realness. This is what IReland should be sending instead of tired Westlift washups with snoozefest songs. Emma is serving Eimear Quinn realness and Im heading straight for those canapés!
The imagery is going to be amazing, have her dancing in a jumpin/dancing circle of light with celtic charms floating around her keeping out bad images and all those other awful predatory finnish singers (they cant kiss her paradise in the cricle of life!!!)
This would qualify for the final and finish 15-20th
lol. reading this was hilarious. totally agree with the celtic vibe - very irish tribal realness!
You guys are such darlin's so funny, you make my day a smiling day
Sending a big hello to the West of Finland! Thank you for watching and for your kind comments.
Yes, seksi means sex but we also use it in words like "ilmaiseksi" which means "for free" and "huomiseksi" which means "for tomorrow" in other words "seksi" stands for the word "for" in Finnish too, but only when it's connected to another word. There are cases too were "seksi" stands for word "into" like "naiseksi" which means "into a woman." There are too many stands for the word but it basically means "sex" only when it is not connected to another word.
I think Circle of Light could actually do really well in Kyiv!
Also Blackbird just really reminds me of Birds (Anouk), and obviously not a good version!
Amez Ahhhh this Birds comparison haha
Its funny watching back on these selection videos cause they were devastated that Finland didn't qualify !
Lauri to win 👌👌
Yes! Nobody seems to like him though :(
Some of these songs are really good, and I hope the Finnish audience knows that too
Bryan bro lets hope they get it right!
Bryan bro Emma is clearly the best!!😇
Your reaction to Blackbird was the most hilarious thing EVER HAHAHHAHAH
Circle of Light YAAAAAS ! Heard it with you the first time !! YAAAAS!
We feel your YASSSes!
1.Circle of light 2.Reach out for the sun 3.Arrows 4.Love yourself I hope one of them will be chosen
My favourites are Norma John, Anni Saikku, Alva and Emma
UMK always have interesting songs every year but it's my favourite selection
I think it's a weak national selection. But I just love Emma and Circle of Light, could actually do well in Kyiv.
You are so cute guys :) It will take us at least 2 more weeks to release our Eesti Laul songs, can't wait to see your video about our 20 songs :D
Perfect villain: Yup, powerful voice, but that's all. The lyrics make no sense to me and kryptonite is NOT the weakness of X-men :'DD Overall the song is bland and boring. Not my cup of tea, I'd like to hear Zühlke with a more powerful song that fits her voice better.
Circle of light: My fav, I really hope this wins! It's mystical, not that ordinary, it has good instrumental, great lyrics and good singer! Best changes to do well in ESC I think.
Love yourself: Omg William's first reaction was the exact same than mine. The lyrics shine sexuality and I couldn't help but think how the song is about masturbating lmao... No-go for me, and no-go for ESC. I really like the radio voices though, nice ItaloBrothers vibes there~
Paradise: The song might be horny and about sex, which I don't approve, but I love it! I love the melody, it's catchy. And the ay-ays in the chorus are so nice~ I'm not sure how it would do in Eurovision though, so not winner material, just my own pleasure~ >:D
Arrows: It's alright, I find it a bit overrated though. The song is very forgettable excluding the chorus, but I really approve the positive message! The chorus is really nice and it's easy to remember unlike the verses. And it's radio-friendly too as you said.
Blackbird: I quite like it, but it's really depressing, Eurovision should be a happy event! In a first listen it was really boring. But it doesn't really build up. The message is beautiful though, the song is full of emotion.
Helppo elämä: Instrumental = Heroes + Heartbeat
The song is okay, but it reminds me too much of previous entries.
Caveman: This is horrible earrape. Please, get out, what an horrible joke entry. Go back to your cave.
Reach out for the sun: This builds up so nicely! But the explosion that I expected after the chorus did not come... It has positive message and lyrics, and Anni has a very pleasing voice. I love it, we'll have to see the live.
My little world: This is so creepy, I don't like it... And the singing is horrifying. Negative and boring. No please.
I'ld just like to add in a note, In English pop-culture, calling something your 'Kryptonite' is just a general way of calling something your weakness and has become a phrase outside of superheros and comic-book geeks.
Aw you guys were mean about Lauri ): i respect you didnt like it but ouch!
hopefully they'll change their mind later on because that song is really good :)
Vanessa Zhou i remember last year they didnt like Justs and this song is similar though, lets hope they do :)
Emma very Greta Salome, very stay in the semifinals ;)
Lauri to represent Finland! :)
SlavicBoy Barti YESSS
SlavicBoy Barti no, let Emma go. she makes a chanche. ;)
I like Deban's comments like The lyrics are appoiling, signing out of that one
I just love that unpronounceable Finnish song. It just gets me every time I listen to it and it's so unique
Circle Of Light is my clear winner. And if she doesn't get selected (what really would surprise me) i would also be alright with Arrows.
OMG i love watching you!
Thank you so much, Maria! We hope you'll stick with us through national finals season!
i'm from finland and i was in umk like three days ago and my fauvorite was my firs band paradise
it's not even perverss
I'm absolutely agree with you guys! Except for the three girls, the umk in general are very disappointed this year. I love this kind of videos with first reactions.
yay.....had same reaction to arrows :)
My standouts are 'Circle of Light', 'Blackbird' & 'Arrows' but the song that I believe could do the best job for Finland next year is by far 'Circle of Light' it has so much potential :) ❤️ I just hope the live performance will be just as good
So. Much. Potential. Hoping they nail the staging.
wiwibloggs well yeah of course lol but from what we heard so far, this is already better than the other 9 songs. I just hope that they can keep the lead with the live performance :)
owww, eurovision's season is started
It's here! It's here! Let's do thiiiiis!
EMMA!!!💕💕
Missed this
I was waiting for this.
William loving that sweater!
Hope really Emma wins UMK#TeamEmma#Circleoflight
Hi William and Deban! Are you going to compete for San Marino in the Eurovision with the song "Slayage Realness (Honey!)"
I see it in Wikipedia just now while browsing at work hours. 😂
I liked circle of light, blackbirds, and the one with the starts and the inverted chorus.
I feel wasted when I'm sober. "Don't we all?" HAHA. Hilarious. This made my day xD
Thank you, guys, these videos give me life! :D
We agree on almost everything. Emma and Alva are very good indeed. Lauri's and Anni's songs both have amazing verses which lead to weak and disappointing choruses. The only difference is that I like Zühlke's song and you don't. :D
ESC Argy perhaps live she will SLAY us! ❤️
I hope so! :D
Am i the only one who hates Blackbird? xD
I really think Emma' Circle of Light is the one to beat in UMK this year! (and I love that you guys - William and Deban I mean, had the strongest first reaction to that song, which says something). With Alva' s Arrows and Anni's Reaching For The Sun following not far behind. But we're talking about UMK, so you actually never know... Does anybody know if they will keep those weird 'juries' they had last year?!
City of lights HONEEEEEEEEY!!!
Gunther omg, Just another "you touch my tralala, my ding ding dong " but apparently he is touching himself now xD
3:32 His Dance XDDDD I Can Die 😂😂😂
you guys are amazing!! my favorite is emma so far!!😉😉
Davor Škovran hope you're looking forward to the selection. Thank you for watching!
hey but "missing" was Ola Gintrowska's song 😂😂
Let Me Jinx you're right.
Finland songs are too crazy!!!!
Omy God !!!! I love Emma' s song !!!! it reminds me Greta Salome's song !!! (very underrated !)
Personally, I have several songs I like, and in a completely different way: For me, Blackbird is gorgeous and not boring, Arrow is an awesome song too and I also like the cheesiness and sass of Perfect Villain. Circle of Light is also a very good song, maybe the 'safest' bet of UMK 2017. But my winner would have to be Gunther! He is so provocative and he would definitely be noted on ESC stage.

Then you have nothing to enjoy and nothing to complain about either. It's just boring. I'd rather have all varieties.
I have NO IDEA which song might win UMK 2017, but knowing Finland, it could be ANY of them.
You guys are so funny together :D
haha, thank you! we hate each other! (kidding)
I thought you two were going to have a proper argument for a minute there! XD
I love Blackbird I'd listen to that in my free time and I actually like Perfect Villain as well
Love Yourself!!!
My favourite is arrows!!!
CIRCLE OF LIFE!
Darlings, you ain't got no type
Emma: Emmelie de Salome.
LOL. YESSSSSSSSSS
Trend on Finland according to you.
Oh :|
Ooooh :)
-chorus
UUUUGGGGHHH :(
Lauri FTW here.
circle of light all the waaay , the rest are so bad
I Love you guys
My favorites is: Emma and Alva
i live for Williams "listen"
Zuhlke- Love her voice and attitude on that song. number 7 to me.
Emma- Good song, not best. I like that Rakas-part and those violins. number 6 to me.
Gunther&D´Sanz- Chorus is catchy. Gunther is legend! number 3 to me.
My first band- Love those high notes. Love Antti´s voice. I just love those guys. number 2 to me.
Alva- Little-Krista have beautiful voice. Song is beautiful, nothing great. number 8 to me.
Norma John- They aren´t Norma&John, they are Leena and Lasse from Norma John. Leena was in finnish XFactor 2010, Lasse is keyboard player who plays in bands of finnish artists and tv programs. Song is breathtaking and when I heard it first time I cried. It´s breakup song. number 4 to me
Lauri Yrjölä- Man of my dreams. Hottest guy ever! Love his voice and song is catchy. And he is really sweet too. My number one favorite.
Knucklebone Oscar- It is hilarious. Song make me happy! number 5 to me.
Anni Saikku- nice song but nothing special really. Kinda Ok. Number 9 to me.
Club La Perse- First I hated. But it was stuck in my head. I like that tittidiididi- part. But they can´t sing at all. number 10 to me.
There are 3 songs really good and contenders to win
I watched the UMK yesterday and tbh Alva couldn't sing very well live. She might be too young because her voice didn't have the strong power and passion like others. But young women can have dreams :) ♥
Emma is by far the best. Alva's song suffers from a weak first verse. The lyrics are so ordinary and common but the chorus is really cool.
Are you guys doing a video for the Belarusian songs?
Your reaction to caveman is priceless
I could not disagree with you more about Blackbird! It's such a beautiful song and something you wouldn't expect at Eurovision!
Hopefully the staging will make it more universally liked.
I miss Saara Aalto.....
the problem is the finnish broadcaster YLE. They think weird means success in the eurovision. i honestly think Finland should have a rock/metal song because that's where we're good at
It's a good point. Ever since winning with Lordi YLE has stressed quirky for sure.
