Finland please don't waste this chance!

 

[Schlagerman1]

Reading the translation of the lyrics, this is actually such a women empowering and even lgbtq+ anthem! Being proud of who you are, who you love and in what way you wanna love. Long live sexual freedom!

Get a feel for the icon Erika's Eurovision entry is named after with this video mix of Cicciolina's Cocktail d'amore performances, a show which was hosted by non other than my idol, Amanda Lear (freeze the start of the video and you'll see her).

[LastDreamer]

Sorry, but I'm not impressed by this entry.

 

[Yoozek]

[tuorem]

Girl already has 64K views on Youtube in one day while Tika is around 40K in four days. The hype is real.

 

[Romeo]

Can someone help me. Tika's song "I Let My Heart Break" sounds like another song. I think it may have been a NF song..

I can't think of the name but I thinik it's called "If I love again" or "I will love again" or something like that. Please help

 

[Romeo]

And after checking the rest of this thread I have realised its Tayanna "I Love You"

 

[lavieenrose]

Least shocking opinion of this young century thus far, I love "Cicciolina." Does it actually have a chance?

Guess we will have to hear the other songs before we know, but it might have...Finland is getting desperate and grabs on to whatever it seems.

Actual footage of me the second I pressed play:

I think this song just changed my life. I'm sickened I wasn't summoned to the section earlier.

Erika Vikman has smashed this.I thought she was superb when performing a few years ago at the Tango festival and handled a very difficult song in Naiden tahtien alla.To then appear with something like Cicciolina seems like im in a different universe.ESC needs this entry.It does the job almost every other song fails to do.It makes you glad to be alive .Its a million miles away from my usual thing,yet id vote for it all day long.I just hope she doesnt get carried away and ruin the staging.

I like Aksel, and he has a really nice voice. And the song isn't that bad either to be fair. Though I feel that the song and the singer doesn't fit well here. I feel that Aksel isn't the guy that has had such a "tough life" as the song suggests. He doesn't seem old enough to talk about a "ride" of life either. He might have had, what do I know, but he doesn't appear to be one, so that makes it not believable enough.

But we all know what happened in JESC 2014 when there were only one guy competing....yeah Italy won with just that guy...So I wouldn't count it out just yet.

 

[Mrm]

This composition is brilliant..
UMK 2020 rulzzzzz.

Can he represent The UK with this and Erika Vikman Finland with "Cicciolina"?

 

[Mainshow]

Aksel has winner written all over it (if juries are part of this national final). #TeamErika, though.
