"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.

How you can be sure, Erika will save us?

 

[Citelis]

Because Erika is amazing!

Because Erika is amazing!

We haven't yet seen Cicciolina's live-show, so hold your horses. Also I am pretty sure, jury will ruin Erika's changes (I hope of course, I am wrong).

Yeah maybe juries will prefer Aksel which sorry but imo is awful.

Also there is lot of televoters, who just listen Eurovision songs just one time. They are the biggest question marks.

 

[Koori]

Easy, it's the only interesting and catchy song in the preselection which could potentially do well at ESC.
Others are obvious semi-finalists considering Finnish results last year

 

[Ana Raquel]

Finland? Having the best selection so far?

I LOVED Eternity. It reminds me of Zero Talenty but without the operatic vocals and with a housish break. She would be pretty high in my ranking in case she wins.

I... just can't believe she is competing against Cicciolina. Life is cruel, life is evil.

Anyway Finland, just don't choose the man please

Any links?

Just heard Cicciolina for the first time. Truly a spiritual experience. And the lyrics The freedom of this that is very characteristic to the 80s makes it so refreshing and enjoyable.

Just heard ''Ethernity'' and i have to say that it is very good too!

Eternity is so budget. I could but can’t. I’m sorry.

 

[tuorem]

But... but... but... "Eternity" is Aiste's "Unbreakable" B-side right? That is so weak, generic and cheap at the same time imo. Did they really see a Eurovision winner in it? I'm confused.

Maybe they plan to add the "joik" into it!

Good job YLE: Four out of six songs was released before they should be. Hopefully next year, if format will be a same as this year, YLE will release all songs at the same day.

 

[Sammy]

Eternity is also very enjoyable.
But I will not betray St. Erika
Why are there NFs where you could have easily 3 or 4 great entries for Eurovision and others, where I struggle to find a single one that I can force myself to like????

Cicciolina number 7 in Finland on Spotify

 

[Mrm]

I rank like this based on studio version:

1. Erika Vikman – “Cicciolina” 10/10
2. Aksel Kankaanranta – “Looking Back” 10/10
3. Sansa – “Lover View” 8/10
4. F3M – “Bananas” 7/10
5. Catharina Zühlke – “Eternity” 3/10
6. Tika – “I Let My Heart Break” 2/10

 

[RainyWoods]

My ranking would be:

1. Erika Vikman - Cicciolina
2. Tika - I Let My Heart Break
3. Sansa - Lover View
4. Catharina Zühlke - Eternity
5. Aksel Kankaanranta - Looking Back
6. F3M - Bananas

I'm not feeling this selection in the same way others here are but then also here we find potentially the greatest Eurovision entry of all time, so it doesn't really matter. I'm very grateful to Finland.

I do like I Let My Heart Break. I realise that this is the somewhat sinful side of my taste but give me a lady going crazy on a dated could only happen at Eurovision Ralph Siegel-esque ballad and I'm aurally aroused in ways I'm often unable to control. I apologise.

Lover View is inoffensive, pleasant even but it doesn't go beyond that.

Eternity is too cheap and cliche, even for me and why exactly would you when we've got Cicciolina there? Not even the upbeat twist really interests me. It's kind of lame but a performance as tasteless as the song could get me on board ironically.. perhaps.

Looking Back is honestly terrifying. It's in such a position to win that I'm very scared.

I cannot believe Finland are finally going to win a televote again when they choose Erika as their rep
