I don't know who I should vote for. What do you think?

You should vote for Eini "Draamaa" because it's the only entry in Finnish. We need more songs with local language in the competition.

- For Greece: the band "Argo", no title yet but wikipedia says that the language will be Greek

- For the Netherlands: Douwe Bob

- For Russia: Sergey Lazarev

- For San Marino: Serhat (another really strange choice, sometimes I have an hard time at understanding the Sanmarinesi...)

- For Austria: Zoë with the song "Loin d'ici" (in French)



- For Bosnia and Herzegovina: Dalal & Deen feat. Ana Rucner & Jala with the song "Ljubav je" (language Bosnian).



- For Cyprus: the band Minus One with the song "Alter Ego" The song should be released today, but I can't find it yet

- For Iceland: Greta Salóme with "Hear Them Calling"



- For Malta: Ira Losco

- For Montenegro: the band Highway

- For Belarus: Ivan with the song "Help You Fly"



- For Ireland: Nicky Byrne with"Sunlight"

- For Switzerland: Rykka with the song "The Last of Our Kind"



- For Albania: Eneda Tarifa with the song "Fairytale Love"

Spoiler

The final song should be the English translation of this song


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIymTCP-UMc


- For Belgium: Laura Tesoro with "What's the Pressure"



- For Bulgaria: Poli Genova

- For Denmark: the band Lighthouse X with the song "Soldiers of Love"

Finally, have you heard about the new complications about the voting system? (Or better, how they will communicate the votes?)

I'll say Ei and Nei for Eini. Useless to send a low-class entry in a language nobody understands.


Urania93, yes I have. I think it's a good feature. Many years the winner is clear before half of the countries have given their points, and now you can for the first time really break up the amount of pts the public gives.

The Finnish representative this year is SANDHJA! The witch is dead! Tight competition, Sandhja won with 160 against Saara Aalto's 153 points. I voted for Tuuli Okkonen, as her song was really great and strong live this time, but Sandhja was my second favourite. Anything but the witch Saara Aalto.

This song reminds me of times gone by
I like her voice, especially on the lower notes. Although the way she hits the higher ones without preparation on the bridge (I think?) is pretty cool.

Hmm, might be true, that clip is remastered and some of the semifinalists only embarrassed themselves live. Live I didn't hear any failure in her hitting the notes, unlike Cristal Snow who was really lame. And Sandhja is such a lovely happy person with a 70's disco twist, a Finnish-Indian lower class nurse from Espoo. Who could dislike her? Nobody in our country at least.

One of the best selected songs until now, Finland should have a decent shot at winning i think.

It fits Eurovision that her win could be twisted politically (she's a descendant of immigrant and that seems enough)
It fits Eurovision that her song is dance-poppish
Only thing missing now would be an extravagant choreography and it's done

In fact, there's a moment were I swear you can see her pleading, "Please, set me free from this pile of garbage I am singing, I've done nothing to deserve this, let me die".

I can see the newspaper's titles now:

Millions fall asleep without warning as the song of Italy found its way into people's ears the night of the Eurovision festival.

Followed by:
Researchers have found the cure against chronic insomnia.
"It will put you to sleep faster than you can say "BORING!"

I can't even say this song is mediocre. It's got nothing going for it.

If you know the language, it isn't as monotonous but we could have still picked a better choice, the only reason it got chosen was because of the band finishing first refusing and her being second but we could have had a more audacious choice bringing a catchy ballad such as Scanu's or a trip hop song such as Hunt's
