Finland FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto - Monsters

Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto

I like this song, but it sounds like it's not meant to be sung live.
Especially the child choir, I wonder how they'll deal with it.
Recorded vocals are not allowed, they need to bring those people to the stage, and I wonder how it'll actually sound.

10 points for the song!
My prediction is that we have one ballad following up, then one rocky mid tempo song.
Hope this is the worst one she has come up with !

"Monsters" is currently top 100 on UK iTunes. Go Saara!

some people are living in the future...Elon Musk has brainwashed them all 2

how is this outdated?

It's an example of pop that was played in 2008-2009. Sorry, but now is 2018.

In my opinion, there is nothing interesting as well.

Although 2008-2009 were among the best years of modern music.

For 2008-2009 I agree, but not for 2018.

Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto

Sorry , first song from Саре Алто is complete nonsense ... a real circus !
It's so plastic, non-authentic ..It does not stand out for nothing from already many of the same and similar songs
Complete disappointment

I just expect a good song from her, because with this song there is no final

Music taste is not a software that one can easily update

Well, I love Mot Mig I Gamla Stan, but I cannot deny that this song is perfect for 2005, not for 2015

For 2008-2009 I agree, but not for 2018.

2018 barely started and 2017 was one of the worst years in contemporary music... and many of the big hits lately sound surprisingly dated like "Despacito" for example

So 2008-2009 is not so bad in perspective

Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto

Despacito in charts is not a good example. Every year we have something new in music. In 2017 indie has developed, hip-hop also and so on. Things happen in charts are not enough to be seen as what happens in the music industry. My point is: modern music has been changed a lot. Demand has been also changed and Monsters cannot be a good answer to this demand just because it could be a hit in 2009, but what sense in this song in 2018?

I want ESC to have diversity, but I also want it to be a popular project. It can be popular If in ESC we get actual songs for 2018 along with personal materials.

Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto

outside of eurovision bubble, this is the only new song i've been obsessed with this year
now this is dated and look how popular it is!

"monsters" is like "beauty never lies" from 2015 and "amazing" from 2014
I think they are all still relevant today

Another reason why "Monsters" shouldn't make it to Eurovision 2

Re: FINLAND 2018 - Saara Aalto

That song is utterly ghastly. Everything wrong with current pop music in 3 minutes. Quite an impressive achievement! Hope these songs are released in order of calibre, or else Finland scrapping UMK will have been for nothing.

Ghastly!!?? The word I used about Greece or Cyprus 2017 in the series made by Sweden to others. Only too generic, as many critics or public also in Finland rate it. What I DON'T LIKE it's from writers of Heroes.

Don't you mean when she doesn't qualify?

TUUUUUUUUUUUNEEEEEEE

I hope the rest are as good

Haha, why not! Although I guess her not winning is more likely than her not qualifying.
I get the feeling she'll receive substantial support from juries.
