Finland FINLAND 2020 - Aksel Kankaaranta - Looking Back

Aksel's performance is pretty good. The concept of the staging is simple yet effective despite him just standing there. It does remind me of Michael Schulte's performance abit.

 

[RainyWoods]

Aksel's song. Don't really have much to say. Relatively inoffensive actually, but offensive in the context of this NF because I believe it's the main threat to Cicciolina here... then again, was that even enough to come 2nd in the televote? It doesn't go anywhere.

 

[blartashura]

Please win!

 

[Sammy]

It must be hard to perform after the big favorite.

 

[gingerale]

Pink hell realness.

 

[RainyWoods]

As for Cicciolina's staging, I thought it was absolutely wonderful and captured the spirit of the song so perfectly. Just three minutes of utter joy. Erika is such an epic performer. That was legit one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'm going to be so ridiculously upset if it doesn't win. I thought I had prepared myself but I really haven't. Please Finland. Pick Erika

"Bananas" - I just can't with the lyrics even though I like to eat bananas. The staging is pretty good but the performance lacked energy. The weakest performance for now.

 

[RainyWoods]

Bananas was a bore.

 

[Edweis]

Ouch they weren't great live, the studio version reeked of energy (one of the reason it was my guilty pleasure of the season) but it didn't got translated at all to the stage, guess Cicciolina became my favorite.

 

[Sammy]

No, sorry Sansa, but that's not my cup of tea.

 

[crashworld]

Sorry, "Lover View" is just not good. Her voice is paper thin. Although I do like the blue/red lightings, but that's just it. Weakest performance of the night.

 

[RainyWoods]

Sansa was ok. I'm unsure really if that performance was a success but I prefer it the most so far out of all the non Cicciolina songs. Would probably do very poorly at Eurovision. Middling but pleasant.

 

[Mrm]

I don’t like Cicciolina performance and vocals..
And why bears/animals?

 

[Sammy]

Tika is good but Erika had a lot more stage presence.

 

[AlekS]

Gurl is channeling her inner Latrice

 

[DaFlo]

Bananas was awful
Cicciolina staging was ... something

That last song to win

 

[RainyWoods]

What on earth was Tika's performance? Airlifted so we could awkwardly stare at her shoes not once but multiple times. One of the strangest staging decisions ever.

The song is alright though. Only one here besides Cicciolina I would say I get some proper enjoyment from. It's an absolute NO though. Erika is there. NO NO NO.

 

[crashworld]

Tika got a good voice but the song is average. The camera angle screwed up the performance.
For me, my ranking for the overall performances + packages:

(1) Aksel
(2) Catherine = Erika
(4) Tika
(5) F3m
(6) Sansa

 

[Daybreak]

I wonder who the Estonians in Finland will vote for?

Calling out the saboteurs earlier on in San Marino's topic, and now here in Finland to cause some damage of your own smh
