Finland FINLAND 2022 - The Rasmus - Jezebel

[escYOUnited]

​

Midnight, it's time to put your face on
Game set, a killer shark in heels
I'm just the first shot on your hit list
High kicks, a predator on wheels
Woke up with bruises on my body
Hands tied, like Jesus on the cross
Your name's in lipstick on the mirror

Jezebel
I don't know how you got in my blood
Was it the dangerous things you do?
You always wanted to be a star
Jezebel
If you're the hunter then I'm the prey
You lick your lips as you walk away
Your final kiss is to leave a scar
On a heart
Jezebel

At night you turn into a tiger
A girl who looks like she's a boy
The world's most ultimate survivor

Jеzebel (Jezеbel)
I don't know how you got in my blood (Jezebel)
Was it the dangerous things you do? (Jezebel)
You always wanted to be a star
Jezebel (Jezebel)
If you're the hunter then I'm the prey (Jezebel)
You lick your lips as you walk away (Jezebel)
Your final kiss is to leave a scar
On a heart

Sunrise, you crawl under the covers
Sleep tight until the dying sun
Tonight you'll catch another lover
Jezebel

Jezebel (Jezebel)
I don't know how you got in my blood (Jezebel)
Was it the dangerous things you do? (Jezebel)
You always wanted to be a star
Jezebel (Jezebel)
If you're the hunter then I'm the prey (Jezebel)
You lick your lips as you walk away (Jezebel)
Your final kiss is to leave a scar
On a heart

Jezebel (Jezebel)
Jezebel (Jezebel)
Jezebel

Goooo Besssss!!!!

 

[mauve]

Not my thing at all. I liked her official video, but the performance was meh. Her vocals shaky.

 

[I bims]

Olivera and Bess are my favs currently. Didn't like the staging of Bess though but we need a upbeat number. There are already too many ballads chosen.

 

[lasse braun]

Bess is really good !

in trash we trust or what?

 

[Mainshow]

Not my thing at all. I liked her official video, but the performance was meh. Her vocals shaky.

Same here. It´s a decent entry, though - but it´s not really my cup of tea. - The 2nd part of the chorus is undeniably incredibly catchy, though.

 

[LivingOrganism]

The thing I love about this NS is the fact that there is no clear favorite for the audience. Such diversity!

 

[heke1988]

Those BESS' background dancers clothes were terrible.

Those BESS' background dancers clothes were terrible.

That's actually true, I don't know why they didn't go for the style of clothing Bess had in the official music video. Those were much better and more fitting for the song.

 

[Looren]

Younghearted definitely my fave of this NF, such a cute and lovely ballad

 

[lasse braun]

5. Younghearted

the second good song of the evening - folk pop with that extra you need - very charming - no chance of course like olivera but i like it - 8/10

 

[Gwendal]

I'd love to root for Younghearted, but the staging shows the same thing as the song: it's two-thirds nearly empty, just building the path for a beautiful end. Not enough though...

 

[Mainshow]

Dunno why but I think it´s such a genuine and touching ballad - the 2nd half of the song gets me all the night.

Any chance this will be the surprise winner tonight?

 

[mauve]

Hell, so far I am really torn. Somehow I still like The Rasmus best, but I wished Lauri's vocals had been better. He was okay from the middle though. Younghearted is okay, but too tame. Let's see if C. Kicks will do better. *fingers crossed*

 

[Ringdalen]

Winner incoming! HURRICANE

 

[Mainshow]

I'd love to root for Younghearted, but the staging shows the same thing as the song: it's two-thirds nearly empty, just building the path for a beautiful end. Not enough though...

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.
I love this song and it sounds incredible as a studio version but the first half of the song is very non-competitive and at Eurovision you have to impress the viewers in the very first seconds, imo.

The 2nd part of it is exceptionally beautiful, though.
I´m torn - I want to see this at Eurovision but it would clearly struggle.

 

[heke1988]

Hopefully Cyan Kicks' live and stage is good!

 

[heke1988]

Best live vocals so far!

 

[bstream]

Cyan Kicks has the best song so far tonight. That backing track is incredibly good, very contemporary, electrifying slice of electro-pop rock.

 

[shameless]

I didn't realise they're so many female singers in this competition this year. Fav so far.

 

[Bmbriga]

The Rasmus frontman wasn't giving us his long looks in camera trying to look all mysterious or what, but just looking creepy. So, since he wasn't doing that, I actually enjoyed the performance. Maybe the vocals were worse, but I liked it more then music video. I wouldn't mind them going, actually.
