It started promising then it turns to something we heard milion times on a radio. Quite uninspiring effort. I don't mind hearing it but it comes with one ear and leave the other.

Looks like I'm not caring about Finland this year.

Newsflash. Selecting the best entry for your country is what is important, not picking something which may be potentially liked by some random dudes in random other European countries.

Well I do think that if you compare the studio versions, then Mikko is perhaps slightly better than Softengine. But he was really really weak live today while Soundengine was ok (and that type of songs do not really need strong vocals anyway). Therefor I think it was fair that Mikko lost as he simply did not deliver tonight.
The most funny thing though is that I think the juries voted for this because they think it would appeal to Europe more than a genuine song in Finnish...

I think there is a reason why Finland only can win when men dress up as monsters...

This is like something I would send to NSC....
I am so sorry, but i cannot give it more than 1 point, there's absolutely nothing that could catch my attention: no interesting melody, no stage presence, no charisma, no captivating vocals, no fascinating punch lines in the lyrics.

They won't make it to the finals.

Very poor final, didn't really like any song, but this one was my 3rd-to-last. I give it 
points. My last place out of the chosen entries so far.

Indeed, but Mikko managed to kill his song totally today. That is, I'd say he had the 2nd best song (after madcraft), but in live performance today, i'd say he was only the 5th best. If you have a song like he had, you can't do shiruso like vocals if you want the song to sound good.
Oh, I didn't knew we were looking at "The Voice"? I must have missed something... I thought we were rooting for the best overall songs/entries here...

I'd rather wait to vote in the poll, now I'm angry with Finland. T()
I enjoy the song but those little high pitch things he does kills it for me, I wouldn't rush out to get it or see it... So Finland, if you make the finals. Enjoy the bottom of the scoreboard Where you usually end up when you make the final. Unless most other countries send something completely disastrous, this wont do well.

Re: FINLAND 2014
Has anyone said that you can have a crap entry and win based on vocals alone? Song wise the quality of Mikko and Softengine were really close to each other, only that 1 of those 2 could actually perform the song in a decent way.
I haven't seen the live performance so I don't know... but again does that mean that you can have a crappy entry and win just based on vocals alone? That to me is even more weird when the purpose is to find the best song
