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

With The Rasmus I kinda get Darude vibes: They´re famous for their songs in the 2000s but didn´t have any hits in the last few years, at least here in .

So I don´t know whether I should get excited about that.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

The Rasmus will be an interesting choice: they were really popular here in Italy in the early and mid 2000's and entered the charts particularly with In The Shadows and No Fear. They obviously need a good song in order to compete, but I'm quite optimistic.

 

[heke1988]

I am very surprised, any of these UMK finalists didn't leaked. I hope now, that any of their songs won't leak before their releasing time.

 

[Mimmon]

Without hearing the songs my favorites are Cyan Kicks and The Rasmus

 

[Mrm]

That would be amazing

First edition to be held in Agadir!

 

[Mainshow]

Wow! I didn´t expect The Rasmus to ever enter the Finnish preselection!
I wouldn´t call me a fan but I absolutely love their best of album - they had so many great singles and their duet with the former lead singer of Nightwish is stunningly beautiful.
I just hope that they will deliver something spectacular - they have to either go fully ballad-mode or serve us form nostalgia.
Their recent "rock/pop/radio" stuff hasn´t been my cup of tea.

+ I´m curious about their new guitar player.

My picks aswell, but who knows: maybe some of the others can surprise.

“Jezebel” is in Finnish language or what?

“Jezebel” is in Finnish language or what?

I think it´s English.
It´s a character from the Bible/Thora.

“Jezebel” is in Finnish language or what?

In England we used the word as a slang term for a "loose woman" ,someone who would steal someones husband and cruel and selfish etc "she is a right Jezebel" ,a sort of snearing insult usually women talking about another woman they dont like.Not that i have any idea thats the context of the song here.

I like it a lot, but for me Lily Löwe - «Bad Baby» is still better!

 

[Mainshow]

It kicks off well but the chorus is a huge letdown. Her voice is almost annoying on the chorus, imo.

4/10 maybe?

 

[Mimmon]

So instrumental reminded of this

Also amazing song,if someone says its bad copy of Maneskin or copy paste of Blind Channel...This is my public respond

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

A good start for Umk, I must say. I actually like the verses way more than the chorus, but it is a good song overall. Maybe not a winner, but a good attempt.

Her voice in the chorus is a bit overproduced, you're right. But I think that won't be an issue when we hear her live.

 

[alyrin]

it's a bit too repetitive for me + i don't really like the lyrics but it's a solid song

 

[Mainshow]

You´re probably right about that one. As a huge and avid fan of Eurovision who likes to listen to the songs throughout the years, I´d rather have a "not-so-overproduced" studio version, though. Usually, I just watch the live performances a couple of times.

Moreover, I simply don´t like the combo - her voice and the guitar sounds. It someone reminds me of Avril Lavigne trying to come up with some metal. - The lyrics are a bit too predictable, imo - them trying to come up with an empowering pop/rock song suitable for Eurovision - but that´s just me... I´d have preferred a heavier sound, a less girl-ish voice, a more comfortable melody (I hate it how her voice gets pitched in the chorus several times and it´s quite repetitive without being genuinely catchy, imo). It is just my personal liking: I either need some hard/heavy sounds or a pure pop track - but this song is waaay to pop-y for my liking.
