Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto
I wasn't a big fan of "No Fear", too repetitive for my liking. XFactor, or any singing talent competition for that matter, is just isn't something I'm interested in so I wasn't following her time on the show. She has a really nice voice so if they pick the right song, I'm hopeful that Finland could actually return to the Finals once again. But Vocals alone don't but it and people tend to overestimate fame and name recognition at Eurovision.
I'm sad that we don't have an actual UMK, I really like that show so this is a disappointment from that aspect but I guess it could be worse and I somewhat understand the decision. There is a big hype around Saara and she is HUGE in Finland so I expect high viewership next year.
