Congratulations Finland! I am very happy for you! :cool:

The quality of Softengine is outstanding! Seriously. I already thought their studio version was superb, but their live version might be even better. In my opinion, this song is the best of ESC 2014. I don't know why this song hasn't reached all European charts yet..

Surprisingly awesome performance! Well done Finland! Hopefully we'll see you at the top this year. Scandinavia is totally ruling this year :lol:

I'm really surprised by how much i like this! I thought the previews were really, really weak, but there's something about this kind of music that really works when you see it performed with this much energy. I'm not really fond of the stereotypical "band entries", but now that they're almost gone, i kind of miss them....

I was really worried they wouldn't make it when there were only 2 spots left. Luckily they qualified! :D What would be this final without a rock song, eh? :p
I hope they will work on their connection with the cameras though, it didn't look really well when the lead singer had his eyes closed almost everytime there was a close-up on his face.

I have always thought the song is ok, but I was quite sceptical due to their live performance at UMK. However, he's singing a lot better now and the song is in the final where it should be. Start position 18? Thank you, I'll take it. Doesn't get much better than that.

I think they'll end up just outside the top-10.

Loved this entry since Day 1. Lighting, staging - everything came together really well during Semi 2. I just wished Topi had a bit more charisma.

Matt: Very difficult for me to judge this one, it's too shouty for my taste but a lot of people may like that. It just seems sometimes too loud and he doesn't focus on the acutal melody. But the vibe felt right.
Ahmet: Same as Semi Final, though the lead singer is still closing his eyes way too much.
