OMG it is so catchy!

Giusy Ferreri wants her song back. Jokes aside, it is good - very representative for Finnish bangers and so true to her. I think I want it in Turin!

4 stars from me It is very good and competent entry. On paper, they provided everything what I've expected from them. However, there is something off in chorus (well it was the same with BC last year) and it is a bit repetitive towards the end. I fear she may not pull it off live. Regardless of that...

The only acceptable Daria is Daria Zawiałow. Daria Zawiałow is great but my choice would be Krzysztof Zalewski. :surrur: However, my friend told me that he is one of the biggest enemies of TVP so it will probably never happen. :draamaa: If the choice is between Daria and Ochman, I would go for Ochm...

The only acceptable Daria is Daria Zawiałow. It will never happen though.

There are two option: Daria and Ochman. It can be Daria with Paranoia which is heavily played in Polish radios. Ochman with "Gdzie Iść?" or some ballad. Most likely it will Daria regardless the song. Before "Paranoia", she wasn't particularly known in Poland. She was in The Voice...

I thought Finnish fans are over this "oh we want our own Melodifestivalen". I think already last year Finland was ahead of Sweden. Joining UMK by Tapio Hakanen by YleX was an excellent choice and making gradually UMK in touch with Finnish music scene. It is becoming not only your preselect...

It may not be this 7 that they liked before as they even do not come close to the total number of listeners they mentioned earlier. It was above 2M and this 7 they liked does not even have 1M. I will throw one more name into the pot. Instead of BESS it can be Nelli Matula. She also fits a descriptio...

I am very happy with this choice. I think there is a high chance that Finland will be on the left side of the scoreboard. I am just a bit worried about juries. Regardless of that I think Finland will be in the final and it will put even more solid foundations for the next edition of UMK. https://www...

Interview with Bilal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIrbaCdl-UI

So Darude denied his participation?

Were Saara's songs for UMK were registered earlier there?

I've asked De Eurovisa about it. They are usually more open about some stuff. And they said that for sure it will be song selection.

2013 was pretty good but 2014 was the best one in terms of everything. It is such a shame YLE decided to scrap the format because viewers didn't want to follow it.

I'd jump to the roof if it is Vesala

From escforum.net I was just reading an interview from a year ago, and they said that they have done their new music with Nico Hartikainen (did some arrangment and production for couple Justin Bieber songs in 2015 , Isac Elliot), Jukka Immonen (reminder: guy who produced Sängyn reunalla and for many...

Who is in charge then? And Autio was still responsible for UMK18, right?

You talk about Tuure like he is already selected and kind of are happy for this horrible turn of event

Tuure would a disaster for Finland. However, it makes sense given YLE's approach through social media stars and popularity in media (Saara is also in this category. She didn't really reach people with her own music before UMK18). I really hope it won't be the case and I think it won't Saara had very...

Some choices are very surprising here. YLE seems to be very confident about that choice which can bring tickets revenue and tv ratings. It won't be any UMK-related name. There are two categories which fall into these conditions: - boy singers who can attract crazy teens (like Isac Elliot) [personall...

As you know or not, Norma John were in Katowice in Poland where they met with Kasia Moś. There they recorded new single -'Wild Eyes' together which will be a part of Kasia’s new album. The new song was presented during Kasia’s concert which took place in the concert hall of Polish National Radio Sym...

Well, the presentation will be almost the same. We know that she will have different dress.
I hope it will be minimalistic like the song.

I have a feeling that Finland will do well this year. However the rational side of me tells me that it may be borderline because of several factors: strong semi-final (songwise), the configuration of countries in the semi etc. I feel Finland should be rather safe because of jury voting. I expect it ...

Who would thought William's (Wiwibloggs) favourite Nordic entry is Finland this year

Kasia got closer with Leena and Lasse. They plan a cooperation after Eurovision.

Norma John confirmed that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIIHB7S7QeM&

Oh finally I got my passoword back. I just want to say that I am extremely happy that they won UMK and they have my full support. Yeah I am a bit of psychofan of this song :P I will def vote from my Polish and Swedish number for it

And they are such nice people as well.

Kasia Moś live from today.

Not a fan of the NF from my homeland. It is all about Kasia Moś to me.

So happy for their victory :uujee: :tuuletus: I was so resignated after Saari's 2sd failure but now yay! I am happy that Blackbrid reached #3 on Finnish itunes and the reprsie video was #10 trending on Finnish youtube. And in general reactions are very positive! I'd love Finland to do very well this...
