Three more songs have the chance to go on to the Finnish national final. The public can vote for their favourite out of the three:
- Jessica Wolff – Better
- Martina – Checkmate
- The Spyro – Teleport my heart
im very glad about the 12 in Finland, the jury chose wisely and my three favorites, Aili, Iconcrash and most of all Kirahvi Nimeltä Tuike all made it through! Yay! I like Pernilla’s song, but I almost like all 12 they chose, what a great jury to ignore most of the stupid fan votes! Too bad they saved the fans favorite in the second chance voting! I was fine with those 12!
Very weird to see Georgia doing so well in esc and being so discouragingly ignoring esc… as if the victory from neighbours and great results did not matter at all. Maybe it doesn’t to them, but that’s not a good sign. Maybe they should go for internal selection.
Georgia is not interested in festival! Why all countries must be interested in it? :S
I can’t wait t see Slovakian internal choice, but I feel I will be very disappointed after last year AMAZING entry!
And Ukraine will have great entry it seems, Gaitana’s song is great and her English accent is VERY GOOD, quite unbeliavable for Ukraine, I know! LOL
Wow only one song in English was picked by the jury :O
two: Iconcrash and Kaisa!
So little, not complaining, but it’s usually the opposite
Luis there is a chance they will translate for Baku!
hm, Finland did not translate its song in 2008 or 2010 when the chosen entries were performed in Finnish in the national final, so I doubt they would do it this time…
I hope they do.. it would be ridiculous to translate 2010 entry into English.. lol
