Re: FINLAND 2014

Yeah, Mikko or Jasmin for me or Makea

Finnish is such a great language, it'd be great for one of these entries to win

I LOVE this entry!

I really hope that Finland pick this, I'm sure they'd be right at the top of my list this year. It's so genuine, authentic and full of charm.

I'm not sure how I feel about the changes to Sängyn Reunalla. The new beat is great, and I think it's a stronger song overall now; that said, I'm sad that they made the female backing singer quieter, since the harmony between her and Mikko was beautiful, and it was what made me like the song in the first place.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Ukraine's helping them with that, at least...

I challenge you to repeat this when they released the final ESC version of their entry (and especially when their ESC performance have been finished)

Eh, perhaps. I still see it turning out as more of an Anticrisis Girl than a Shady Lady, though.

Re: FINLAND 2014

I quite like Lauri Mikkola's song... it definitely has potential to reach the final but it's quite bland and samey. Reminds me of Nikki Kavanagh's Falling

I don't know what to make of 'Hope', it's definitely unique haha

That'd be great, I personally prefer "Be My Valentine!" to "Shady Lady" so bring it on

Mikko, Lauri or Jasmin, awesome songs, I'd also be ok with Hanna Sky or Clarissa & Josh, the others are crappy

Re: FINLAND 2014

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.

I think too much has been added though. The generic club synths that we hear just before the chorus are totally unnecessary and my biggest gripe. I thought the song before was very vocal driven, the punch in the chorus came from the vocals which were so up front in the mix. The backing in parts is somewhat messy now and less powerful.. and the bridge is now an instrumental which screams "*insert ass shake here*". I'm disappointed because the main reason I liked it so much has been stripped away.

I'd still like Jasmin to win though as it's an enjoyable song and she's a charming performer.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Could any of the Finnish forum members give me a brief translation of the lyrics to Sängyn Reunalla? I'd appreciate it muchly

Re: FINLAND 2014

Any uploads of Selja or Shining Bright around? They're the only ones not linked so far, if I'm not mistaken.

This song could quite well make it to the final if Finland select it and translate it to english

Re: FINLAND 2014

This song is funny she is really in a hurry with all those Finish words... if this will be chosen then I hope it stays in finish. Maybe for the fun of it, it could actually qualify for the final.
