Finland FINLAND 2015 - Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - Aina mun pitää

[Sammy]

Here is a short interview of one member.
In this video (uploaded today), he says his favorite finnish songs.
They don't sing at all.
But if you notice,
dislikes are double from likes.
Who is watching these videos?
Basically eurofans.
Those eurofans who want tolerance for themselves being gay,
but do not accept other people. :?

Maybe the dislikes are from the fact, that he was asked what other songs (meaning his competitors) he likes and he just names Finnish entries. Of course he obviously misunderstood the question, but people might - together with the former statements ("all the other songs are crap") - think that they come across quite selfish and arrogant. (ATTENTION, that is NOT what I think, I just presume something to give a possible explanation for the dislikes)

 

[GRE]

Well, anyone can misunderstand a question.
I don't think this is the reason at all.

 

[Terence]

Staging is good and the rehearsal was as good as you'd expect, but will this attract televoters?

 

[Sammy]

I still don't like the song - as I don't like punk in general - and I sincerely hope, it will not qualify for the final.
Besides, songs that go towards this genre (and I DON'T think of Lordi here as it is - as discussed here abundantly - something completely different) have not been successful in Eurovision so far. I'm thinking of Latvia's Probka for instance. (yes, I know, it's also something different, but musically it is the closest example I can think of)

Can someone who knows German translate what Kati says in German when trying to get Toni to sit down in the meet and greet? In the beginning of the video she says something and someone commented on youtube "this is really funny if you know German" so I'd really like to know.
Talking about the song and band, it's not nearly as bad to my ear as it was at first, I quite like it even, and the guys are so nice and handling all the press attention really well.

Last seconds are priceless, I wonder what was in Pertti's mind at that moment

if I understood correctly she said in german: "Wurscht, kannst dich auch zu mir setzen, ich nehm dich aufn Schoß"
which means basically "You can also sit down here, I'll take you on my lap"

 

[Grinch]

Finland being 6th at the odds is quite scary.

I don't know if y'all have the same bad movies and TV shows aimed at pre-teens on the other side of the Atlantic where there's some talent show, and the popular mean girl makes some remark like "You're in the talent show? Well, I guess they let anyone in" about the lovable protagonist followed by a snooty laugh from her and her friends, but reading the YouTube comments on PKN's rehearsal, I can't help but think of that.

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

It's a little off-topic, sorry, but I cannot resist:
Every time PKN come to a press conference, I think one of these guys takes off the mask, introduces himself as Hape Kerkeling and explains that this is all a great hoax. (most users from Germany will know that guy)
For all those outside Germany: Hape Kerkeling is a German comedian and entertainer, and in his show "Darüber lacht die Welt" ("That's what the world laughs about", aired 1998-2000) he disguises himself and hoaxes other people.
There was one show when he and some others pretended to be the Finnish band "R.I.P. Uli" who were invited to the music show "Viva interaktiv". Then in the interview they behaved really rude and the host of the show ("Milka") had a hard time dealing with them. Here's the video of that hoax:

Short before the end (at 7:30) Hape reveals himself.

^^ ... and then some people still complain about having a bunch with intellectual disabilities in Eurovision, when "normal" ones have such a tv shows and viewers.

I'm much more skeptical about the juries. This can make it to the final (I would say they have a 40 % chance), but a top 25 is pretty much out of reach due to juries and their ability to sink songs.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Still as awful as ever! If there is one entry that has ever deserved nil points it is this...

 

[Mrm]

I revoted in the poll..from 7 to 12!!

 

[Krishoes]

This is one of the best staging. Great work with the camera. made a perfect job with them and that song.

 

[IncognitoGH]

Got nothing against them as people, I find it largely refreshing that they are given this wonderful chance, as they should be. But the song for me just does nothing. The staging is good though, I like that aspect.

 

[Chorizo]

Oi

 

[misteriks]

If this gets into the final I not even wanna watch on Saturday. What was Finland thinking when choosing this song?!
