Finland FINLAND 2016 - Sandhja - Sing It Away

[Joni]

The studio version sounds slightly better, but the chorus still lets this entry down massively. 3 points.

Yes, it sounds good for the first 30 seconds and then... collapses. It's a shame because the verse and the bridge are actually quite good.

Tonight I'm stuck to Mikael's songs again. Naah... I miss him. I kinda hope he'll come back to UMK again. But I feel like he won't win again...

I'd leave it if I were him. He's too good for this contest's generel public ,where even children are allowed to play juries and all. I'm sure there's plenty of audiences to appreciate him better elsewhere. As they say in my country, those have been "pearls to pigs". That's quite enough I feel.

Mikael Saari is simply another one of those wannabes with no musical career at all outside the Eurovision-bubble, and that he needs Eurovision to stay relevant. No talent, no charisma, no musical impact whatsoever. The fact that even the Finnish public rejected him twice in the televoting says it all, really.

2nd in the televote is hardly a rejection, especially since he got more votes than the winner. Saying he has no talent isn't even a bad opinion, it's just factually wrong. The hate really flows from you doesn't it?

I don't get the hate for this entry. Song is great, she is a good performer. The chorus is kinda weak but the overall production is still good. I think final is more than possible.

What are you rambling about? The Finnish public are notorious for being clueless regarding their choices. Also remember who among the mad chosen juries voted for Mikael: the musicians and the eurovision experts. It's a bit telling I think.

That said, I've nothing against the winner. It's not bad, it's ok, only very indifferent. It just wouldn't cross any normal person's mind to choose it among the others

Because there's still talking about Mikael, I took the time to relisten to his entry this year. Sorry, I still find it utterly boring.

 

[RainyWoods]

Changed my whatever it was to a 12. This is now one of my top favourites. I can't get it out of my head. I think this is the best uptempo pop number we have this year. So super infectious. I really hope that Finland can go against the odds and surprise on the night. This entry seems incredibly underrated to me. Too many ladies (and men) this year with ultra cold tracks, trying to be edgy and contemporary. Sandhja is bringing the fun and sunshine. Also, doesn't she look fabulous here?

I really like this entry. The only problem I have with it is that the verses sound very good and build very well but when the chrous hits, it's kinda disappointing. It's not bad, but it could have been better. I still really enjoy this entry and I think a reason so many fans seem to be ignoring it is just because their favourite didn't win the NF.

And that is why I hoped so much that they would revamp the chorus - but it seems that it's not going to happen.

In the 2nd semi this might have had a chance but in the 1st it needs a miracle to qualify..

 

[Evalngelion]

I have a Feeling that juries will love this song, Probably the similar case of Slovenia 2011.

 

[daniels1000]

I think I didn't comment on this one before.

has such a great music scene, one of the best in the World imo, and they send this? :? Definitely one of the worst songs, I have to give it 0 points.

 

[Dessi]

This one is a grower! When Mikael Saari didn't win I was furious... But now I'm quite happy again.
Right now this is my first choise! 12 points.

 

[Dessi]

OK, seems like I'm the only one liking this song...haha...
I LOVE it.

 

[sharkan]

No you are not the only one. I love it as well and I will vote for Sandhja!

 

[xyqv]

The song is just ok
I wish Stella Christine would sing in Stockholm :/

 

[grazy2266]

I heard this song for the first time today and I liked it. It's nothing special but likeable and that suits me. Good luck in the contest next month

 

[cripesdude]

I'm so sorry Finland I totally overlooked your entry and it turns out it is GREAT and is in my top ten!

 

[Mii11]

IMO it doesn't seem that this is going to qualify
