Re: FINLAND 2014

This was quite surprising, I thought Hanna would be out... not Finnish kind of song that one.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Once again, they keep choosing the wrong songs.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Did anyone actually vote in UMK? I cannot believe the general public would've voted for Hanna Sky that much.

Surprises all around this year! Last week, it was a good thing, as I was surprised by how good Softengine were and they deserved a spot, but I had expected either MAKEA or Hanna Sky to be out of it. Certainly, Hanna Sky is a good performer, but how did she beat Mikko Pohjola?

Anyway, does it matter? Two songs went to the final, two were dropped out. Yay. Now we have to sit through 2/3 of all songs again and see if anything has changed. Last year at least, pretty much one act had.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Its the same jury panel throughout the selection right, so we can compare the points from different rounds?

I think that the answer is yes.

Yes, see here: Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: FINLAND 2014

So to summarize:

1. Hanna Sky 9+10+9+10= 38 (in final)
2. Softengine 8+10+9+9 = 36 (in final)

3. Hukka ja Mama 10+9+8+8 = 35
4. Mikko Pohjola 8+9+8+9= 34
5. Jasmin Michaela 7+8+7+7 = 29
6. Lauri Mikkola 7+6+5+8= 26
7. Clarissa/Josh 6+7+6+6= 25
8. MIAU 6+7+6+4 = 23
9. Madcraft 5+4+7+5= 21
11. Dennis Fagerström 4+5+5+5 = 19

Only 6 from the semi of artists above will qualify for the final in a sole televote (final is 50/50)

10. Makea 4+5+4+7= 20 (eliminated)
12. Lili Lambert 3+6+3+6 = 18 (eliminated)

Re: FINLAND 2014

I'm torn between my 2 favourites. Jasmin has the better song but Hanna is the better performer. It'll be interesting to see if Jasmin improves next week.

Re: FINLAND 2014

For the second time, my favourite finished 2º. I hope Hukka ja Mama and Mikko Pohjola qualify for the final...

Re: FINLAND 2014

I still like Mikko (though I hate the lyrics) and Jasmin but now also Hanna because of her strong, kinda olf-fashioned eurovision like performance, too bad that the lyrics are so naive.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Mikko will qualify, there is no question about that - but winning the final will be difficult..

 

[PamSwynford]

Re: FINLAND 2014

Whaaat?! Mikko isn't in the Final yet?! And Hanna is?! I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Mikko will qualify, there is no question about that - but winning the final will be difficult..

I guess it will depend on how much televote power he will have and how much the jury changes its tune in the final compared to the heat

Like you said it will be an uphill battle otherwise its going to be real close
