This reminds me of ''Firelies'' by Owl City.

First I downloaded a program which changes my IP address, then in private mode this radio audition worked properly:

Re: FINLAND 2014

I think Jasmin's song is ruined. It was great before because of it's musical simplicity. It was strangely so powerful.

Now the bridge that led to the big note has been removed. The most generic club synths added that were certainly not needed and the backing overall is a lot less strong.. it's almost as if they remixed it like this to allow for some kind of big booty shaking performance. You can just sense it from the little instrumental break.

Gosh i'm so disappointed. It was such a unique little electro pop song before. I'm still really fond of the song and i'm hoping it can win me around again when Jasmin performs it live.

Re: FINLAND 2014

I've gotta admit, I was not a fan of Jasmin's song before the rework. Now, though, it's probably my new favourite. Admittedly, I haven't heard most of the studio versions yet, but this gives me hope.

Re: FINLAND 2014

What do you see in Jasmin's song? It went directly to the bottom of my list from the beginning! It's an absolutely unremarkable song for me...

I felt the same way the first time, but now I think I actually prefer the new version. My one big complaint about the first version was the lack of punch about it. That has now been fixed in the chorus.

Re: FINLAND 2014

I still really like Jasmin's song! I agree with QwaarJet, the new punchiness really makes it for me, I hope she does well It's like a weird mix between Gwen Stefani, Little Boots and LIGHTS

Re: FINLAND 2014

I'm all for Jasmin aswell...

But we'll probably end up with one of those Finno-Swedes' generic tracks...

Re: FINLAND 2014

Has anybody found an alternative source for the new versions yet?

Re: FINLAND 2014

I'm desperate to hear the new version of Mikko Pohjola's song. I'm in love with the demo so I'm hoping the studio is even better

Re: FINLAND 2014

Alright, I've found two more of them uploaded onto YouTube. First is Let Me Take You There:

And then God/Drug:

I just used a search for 'UMK 2014' limited to the last day to find them, so spamming that over the next few days or so may help to see when they come up.

That makes four upgraded versions now, and at least in my opinion they're all improvements over the originals. I've got high hopes for the finals if things continue like this.

EDIT: Okay, I've figured out how to embed now. I should probably have looked at the post options earlier.
