Both songs revealed so far are super hot xheat

I'm worried about Erika, I feel like no way "Ich komme" will reach the heights of "Cicciolina" same as Samantha couldn't outdo "Still Breathing". And what if there's another ballad in this line-up that will defeated her. UGH MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT.

I gave 7/10 to both of them...but NEEA RIVER - Nightmares brings me back to it all the time...there is smh haunting in it....it is so 90s and so Cascadaish... xheat If she pulls this live, I can see it as a good Europop banger in Basel, but if not, then NO THANKS!
Btw her vocals remind me of Alexandra Rotan's from KEiiNO.

Erika has posted a greeting in german to german speaking fans, whom she calls „my little sinners“
Got to love her!
I hope her entry will be as epic as I excpect it to be! 😇

What?? :D The song is one of the most pitch-corrected studio versions in Eurovision history. So to put it bluntly, it's not her real voice we're hearing, and I doubt she can sing live (unless they allow autotune).

Alexandra R, on the other hand, can sing live, as we know. :)

Hitaammin hautaan is definitely an improvement on the first song but I'm still on the fence about its quality. It isn't a first listen song nor the catchiest so I am not convinced currently.

Read the translated lyrics. Something about the production compared to said lyrics doesn't match for me. The tempo is much quicker than I'd expect. Can't see it get close to winning but I'm sure :fi: Nelli Matula will get a hit out of it so good for her.:)

"Sekaisin" jumps from "MEH" to "adequate" with that prechorus, which I really like. Not much to recommend outside of it, and unfortunately, it sounds like the most competitive in an NF setting of what we've heard so far.

I feel like I've heard Sekaisin a million times before. It's nice enough, but it just kinda plods along uneventfully and fizzles out at the end

So far, none of the three songs give me anything unfortunately. I am still waiting for a song to catch me. :(
Basically wanted to say the same, so far nothing is really exciting. I'm curious if Erika Vikman will live up to the "hype"

I think "Sekaisin" is the most mid song of this Eurovision-season :/

but still in my Top 3 of UMK so far

More light pop from the UMK! And quite pitch-corrected once again.

What a relief it would have been to see someone like Ilta in this competition - a singer that can pull it off live. I'm not so sure about any of these three when it comes to the live performance.

costee - "Sekaisin" 10/10 - Brilliant! LOVE IT! It is so non ESC by structure, yet so catchy.. It is current, yet a bit nostalgic.. 🫂💙🤍

I was going to say that the nightmare gal is the reason I'm officially creating the playlist for '25 and I'm wondering whether she can pull this one live. But now I don't care. BRING JUSTICE TO TITS-O-LINA.

I'd change my nick if I could.
