Re: FINLAND 2014

I liked Jasmin too but tonight she just wasn't good, I'm afraid. She was clearly nervous.

Yeah I just watched and she started really well but lost the power in her voice when she reached the final chorus. I'm so annoyed as I was really excited for the song and thought it still stood a good chance of winning.

Re: FINLAND 2014

I told her to drop those dancers and stand still and get the vocal right,whoever was advising her didnt have a clue how to stage a song like that.

Re: FINLAND 2014

What makes it even worse was how perfect I thought she was the first time she sang the demo version of the song. Then they made the backing track too bombastic and added the choreography which ruined her vocals. Notice how she's static at the beginning of the performance and her vocal is fine, then enter the backing dancers and things go downhill from there:(

Re: FINLAND 2014

Shame about Jasmin, but as I said from the beginning her vocals were going to let her down. MIAU for me now. Great performance tonight and a great song to boot.

I'm not particularly keen on them. I love garage rock but they come across as more of a faux garage rock band to me.. but who else is there really to pick? I don't like Mikko's song at all. I find it quite dull and soulless. Same with Hanna's song as well. They both feel contrived.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Clarissa & Josh sounded better today (that wasn't difficult though xcrazy)

I have a doubt, where does Josh come from?

He comes from the UK. I'm not sure about Clarissa but I think she's Finno-Swedish.

Oh, right! :D I thought it was an artistic name but then I read about him speaking English.
and yes I think Clarissa is Finno-Swedish :p

Re: FINLAND 2014

I'm happy for Hukka ja Mama and Mikko Pohjola. I hope one of them win, or alternatively, Softengine. :D

Re: FINLAND 2014

Jasmin out....what the hell is wrong with you, people. I understand, she didn't sing well for last 30sec but.... was the MIAU band better?

Finland this year is definitely OUT of my TOP10. Such a shame...
