something I can't put my fingers on is lacking in this song but I love it. I didn't have high expectations for the show so the rehearsal looks good enough. Good Luck Finland! :)

Wooo, she's a great performer, one of the stars of this year with the most interesting personality! xcheer

This year, my country finally has a good singer who looks comfortable on stage with a good performance.

Sounds really good, doesn't it? The problem is the song is absolutely horrible, and as much as I like Krista as a performer, I simply can't stand a minute of Marry Me. Repetitive, tedious and in-your-face in the worst way possible.
Of course, immediately when Finland sends its first bad song since 2008, people go crazy about it... If I decided the exact outcome of ESC, this wouldn't be anywhere near the final, but then this is going to grab our best result since 2006 and the Finnish people keep having their stereotypes about ESC, which actually is why this song was so popular in the first place. Everybody called it a "typical Eurovision song", as they were completely ignorant about what the contest is like nowadays...

...and as I said, this will do well, I'm expected to be happy for my country, but I'll be disappointed with the fact this got so many points. :lol:

Well, IMO the only better song Finland sent in the previous years (not to say ever because there is also the amazing song of 1985) was in 2007, IMO all the rest were either boring, nothing special or even bad. I personally liked 2009 entry a lot too, but the performance was bad. Just because it's your own personal least favorite doesn't mean it's worse than the other songs Finland sent ;)

This will get a vote from me, just one, for the gay marriage message alone. The song is a good version of a fun song, but no way a Top 10 placer.

This is the best since your entry in 2007! 2008 was not good, 2009 was not so bad, 2010 was weird, 2011 was boring and 2012 too. Krista makes you happy just looking at her!

I don't like the backgroung. Too "Las Vegas" like? Besides, that reminds me again of how much I thought she was like Katy Perry at first. Although I love the song (I would consider it my guilty pleasure of this year and it's in my top10), I think this has the following formula:

1) The song itself and the part of the outfit (dressed as a bride) - "Hot n' Cold"
2) The background - "Waking Up in Vegas"
3) If she kisses one of the maids like she did in Eurovision in Concert - "I Kissed a Girl"

Katy Perry in 3 minutes! :lol:

The low countries.
I am litterarly going Daww, Such a cute act. I love how Krista and Finland both got the "balls" to do a lesbian kiss on stage! Respect! This surely is one of my favorites and I expect it to be in the top 10 this year.

I already posted my opinion on the song, but the act is actually pretty good. I don't see anything adorable in this though, if anything it's the lack of adorableness that makes it work as well as it does. It's basically an ever-so-slight middle finger towards clichés on relationships and marriage, which is suitable for the song. Not a fan of the red aprons though.

It really does look like as though we have the full package this year, apart from the song. All props to the team for that.
