Not boring, but not great either. Somewhere in the middle. Apparently nobody cares this year. Baku should complain to the UN.

It's great that Pernilla will be singing in Swedish, but what is the reason behind it? Does she have Swedish roots?

She sings in swedish because she is a fennoswede, in other words a finn who's native tounge is swedish not finnish.

That is so cool. Is she from the Aland Islands?

Well the swedish version of yle says she is from Sjundeå, located a bit west of Helsinki.

Thanks. I mentioned Aland Islands because I know that's an autonomous Swedish region in Finland.

How old is this lad in an interval act that was singing after Oskar? Send him to Baku right now, with this song!

I'm not sure if someone replied to this already but he is called Robin Packalen and he's 13 years old. Too young for the ESC... Frontside Ollie became quite a big hit among young girls in here after it's release last month.

Yes but not all Swedish speaking live there. Most of them live in southern or western coast (Ostrobothnia).

You're welcome but "När jag blundar" is Swedish.

^ oh sorry then, but again the song sounds pretty nice

Re: FINLAND 2012 - Pernilla Karlsson - När jag blundar

As I said, I'll be very satisfied, if they keep the language. Go Swedish!

Ah, i thought so, thanks
Anyways, it's good that he's too young for the ESC, i like När jag blundar way more.
Wish they added some medieval flavor to it, that would go from Cool to Simply Awesome in my charts then

I almost fell asleep, but I like such songs that make me wanna sleep haha. It's a nice song and she seems like a good singer. 7 points

I don't like a song.

Re: FINLAND 2012 - Pernilla Karlsson - När jag blundar

Well, she has a nice and pleasant voice. Singing is better part, but song lacks its peak. During whole song nothing happens. I'm indifferent with this...I'll give 5 pts only cause of good voice and language.

It's so beautiful and soothing!

Lordi in 2006 and Pernilla Karlsson in 2012. It's like 2 entries from 2 different countries. From a rock song to a ballad / lullaby. Oh Finland, you amuse me so much.

I still can't believe Finland won with this:

I never thought Europe was ready for this.
I won't lie: I love some rock anthems like this one. 3 xguitar

Re: FINLAND 2012 - Pernilla Karlsson - När jag blundar

Probobly my favourite finnish entry-ever! I mean this song isn't just a song. This has something special. Not a classic esc ballad. Well done Finland! So unique Go Pernilla!

Re: FINLAND 2012 - Pernilla Karlsson - När jag blundar

The first time I've heard it, I really liked it...

Since then, every time I hear it, I like it more and more...

This one has grown on me, but I think it might be an acquired taste...
