Re: FINLAND 2014

Can't agree there, the song is anything BUT boring.

What are the juries saying about it?

The juries are saying it doesn't work on TV as the stage show is so three-dimensional. The rest is just pretty generic praise, but it's noteworthy that they're saying MIAU are "doing the song" to the fullest. Redrama says that he doesn't really like the song, but that he's warmed up to it. The song's simplicity somewhat hampers the band, but generally the judges are praising it.
It's not their favourite, but may beat Hanna Sky.

Personally, I just think nothing happens in the song. I like minimalism when it's done well, and I like punk when it's done well… but that song isn't. I don't feel it. At all.

Saarinen said that they would be the female version of KISS ...I'm not sure if it was just sarcasm or stupidity

I didn't quite catch it and I wondered if I had heard correctly, but I think it was neither - it was that kind of praise the judges were giving last year, they go over-the-top with that to fill up the time and promote UMK. It's a shame, because their true points (if they have any) just don't feel too convincing after stuff like that.

Re: FINLAND 2014

Redrama said it clearly - he won't give MadCraft many points. I'd feel bad if I was a fan of the band.

It wasn't that bad, but it's forgettable. Andorra 2007 is a lot better than this, and that's the benchmark.
