Krista Siegfrids had the wedding dress and the cleavage, but in the end Mikael Saari has all the votes. Wiwi’s readers have spoken and they want to Mikael to win Saturday’s UMK final with his song “We Should Be Through”.
Mikael definitely has a voice. But I find his song slightly dull. It may simply be that I associate Eurovision with glitter balls and dancing and the haba haba spirit. In any event, I could definitely cope with this winning in Finland.
You can listen to his song and see the complete results below. What do you think? Does he have a chance of winning in Finland? Will Krista actually offer a challenge?

He is a great singer with a unique tone, and his ballad is wonderfully composed, and has the ESC potential of “Kuula” and “Suus” in my opinion. I detest Krista’s song, but can’t deny the fact that she is a charismatic performer and competent vocalist. Diandra is also a great singer, but her song is beginning to bore me. Arion are nothing special – generic symphonic-metal, and the lead singer is woefully bad (imagine Justin Bieber doing metal and you’ve got… Read more »
WEAK FIELD. Weak, weak, weak. Mikael’s song is a snoozefest. Krista can’t really sing. And the others are forgettable. I will not be tuning in tonight!
No prizes for guessing which way the Wiwi bias swings in this article ;).
