Finland FINLAND 2020 - Aksel Kankaaranta - Looking Back

Sansa's Lover View is pleasant but I'm unsure how it's going to work as a Eurovision entry. Nicely produced but it's just there and undynamic, which is fine but makes it hard to get excited about.

 

[Daybreak]

Lover View gives me some 2001/2002 house music flashbacks. It's a fun track.

edit - Just noticed that Bananas was released officially. I already commented on it but I can say that it's so far my absolute favorite in this NF.

 

[LastDreamer]

retro bananas were better.

Marga Scheide was so hot in 80s.

Girl duo Deuce tried to represent Netherlands on Eurovision 1983, but lost in NF.

Among the 4 selected songs, I really like 3 of them, "Bananas" is the only one I dislike.

Tika and Aksel are too safe probably, but I like their songs, especially Aksel's one.

But come on, "Ciccolina" is just too good for me to ignore... It may not be a masterpiece but is likeable and has a nice melody. I think it may easily flop in me though.

I go with the wave so far.
Really like selection!!

Yeah Finland changed the failed system of the previous years and they are back strong again.

We pray for Finland to not waste the opportunity

 

[Citelis]

That would be more accurate if all the songs had been released the same day. However i think we have a clear winner here!

Or International juries. Erika could also be a fanflop.

I call upon you to come together and found the "Order of the perpetual praying for St. Erika" (O.O.P.S.E.) to ensure that she will in fact ascend to Rotterdam in March and be triumphant in all her glory in May and that no satanic juries will prohibit her to shine.

Sansa is giving me Saint Etienne vibes, which I love. She's also giving me last place in UMK, which I do not love

 

[shameless]

Another great song released. Seriously: Both Finland and CZ are proving the generic safe countries (AU, rest of scandinavia) how you can compose a great selection where more than one song are much better than what most other countries have to offer. WIth that being said, after last years disastreous NF season I am SUPER NERVOUS about Vikqueen being denied for some obscure and unfair reason. Let her be the jury flop but please let her go to Roterdam for f*s sake!

Sansa's song depends on a strong atmospheric staging in my opinion. Eight now not totally feeling it.

Rankings updated then.

F3M
Aksel
Erika
Sansa

Tika

My honest opinions that this song is not for Eurovison,its a 'chill' song that can be listend on sunbathing doing nothing.

 

[Puffy]

I find this song really really cute and heartfelt. It's just so adorable. I think the live performance will be a hit or miss. It can elevate this song even more.

YET ANOTHER 'EESTI LAUL' SONG FINDING ITS WAY IN A SELECTION NOT CALLED EESTI LAUL 33

Sansa would have easily been my fave in most selections (except for maybe Lithuania's), but in UMK she'll have to contend herself with being second to Queen Erika.

 

[LontraCanadensis]

The Finnish selection continues to slé. Sansa or Erika would both be good winners (Erika would be my pick though). I'm terrified of Aksel though

 

[Schlagerman1]

Sansa has a really nice song. Very untypical for Eurovision, but I enjoy it a lot. I just wonder if even the words "Lover view" is a real english phrase, cause it sounds so weird in my ears. But maybe it is?

Not really a english phrase,more made up.

 

[Koori]

"Eternity" by Zulke is awful. Were they drunk when they said that it's a possible Eurovision winner?
Sounds like a mess. And not a hot one

Finland, only Erika can save you. Accept her. You know what to do.
