Finland FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto - Monsters

[Citelis]

Propably the best this year!

 

[Hayato]

Best song won, and now it's the best song this year! But that outfit is horrendous. Rework the whole staging please!

 

[LoveHate]

I usually root for whatever crap we send, and take pride in my country sending handicap punk, dated eurodance, or the only song in Swedish the past 20 years. But this is just a big bag of nothing.

It may have been the least ugly bag of nothing, but that won't make me like it.

My biggest issue is the whole format of picking the artist beforehand. I will never understand the reasoning behind that. It just leads to a very narrow and sloppy selection.

I don't know what to rate this because I love the song but hated the live performance. I guess I will give a 7 for now.

Shocking performance of an average song. Hopefully this bursts the hype bubble and people are more realistic.

3 points.

Megacrap

All the three performances were awful, amateurish, over the top, a bit too much of everything. Saara needs to tone down. I hope she and her team take note of the critics and won't stay in the bubble YLE has created for her. Staging, chroreography, looks... everything was so wrong, prioritising the gimmick over the songs might be a good strategy when you don't have a good singer, so lifting her up disguise some lost keys, but you don't need to do that with a proven good vocalist.
There's still time to fix it, but many of us already saw this poor spectacle coming, so I wonder if her team is actually willing to make changes.

This song is just average, or rather below average. Why on earth did Finland (great Country!) send this song to ESC? The Performance was terrible too. No. Zero Points!!!

 

[ayzelto]

Where can I see the performance?

 

[Ana Raquel]

(probably a 7/10 for me)

Probably Monsters was the best of the 3 songs but it's a 7 for me and i don't think it can grow on me....

points from me! Truly deserved. Catchy, fun, a bit different, a bit exotic, energetic. The live performance is so ugly though

Okey, we agreed about Estonia, and as I can see, I agree with you also about Finland... Dude, we have a similar taste, I guess.

Anyways, you put it perfectly. I don't think this song can grow on me... Good luck Finlandia.

Horrible !!!! her live is terrible (not in a good way) how peoples can hype that.

3/10, and just because i'm nice

 

[GermanBango]

The song is really catchy ... but this performance is a mess.

 

[Leydan]

That live performance and staging was just not very good at all... I don't mind the song at all, I think it's a catchy song and enjoyable but that staging. If it's anything like this at esc it will sink and die a painful death... 5pts

 

[blein]

WOW!Wanted to put 12 but after that performance i cant even put 6.....

 

[megzpegz]

Aw what a shame the studio version is so good.
