After three weeks of UMK semi-finals — and more than a few upsets — Finland has tonight chosen its representative for Vienna. Following a combination of 90% televote and 10% national jury vote, we now know that PERTTI KURIKAN NIMIPÄIVÄT will sing “Aina mun pitää” at Eurovision 2015!

The show itself was remarkable. Finnish contestants of yesteryear, including Softengine (2014), Hanna Pakarinen (2007) and Fredi (1967, 1976), took the stage.  Jon Ola Sand — the head honcho of Eurovision — also appeared, wishing all the best to contestants and inviting everybody to Vienna to build bridges.

This one is actually fairly easy, since you have two options for

path.

@ Nebi There was a point what you wrote…. Some finnish people has said that they voted for like 20-30 times this band, one person, or couples/family members are voted for this 2-3 (or more) times, so i believe that there was a small group of people who voted for this but many many times and they put their money on line. There was no limit how many times you can vote…. Also i heard that one finnish forum/chat room ( Ylilauta ) were voted for this just to have some fun (trolling) because they get satisfaction for those peoples… Read more »

Okay, I’ll go ahead and say it. I don’t think this band really got 37% of the televote. Out of NINE very legit entries (well, eight) THIS band was so overwhelmingly popular that it got nearly 40% of the vote. Out of nine entries this and Satin Circus captured nearly 2/3 of the televote. I would believe it if the comments on this board were split at all but they are nearly universally angry that this won. I think someone at the UMK should run a statistical analysis of the vote spread of this vs past winners to indicate any… Read more »

You cannot understand why we voted for them. It is not because of they have down syndrome, it is because of they want to make a difference in this world and in Finland. For example, Finland has not signed UN agreement that gives rights for the people disabilities even though it has been seven years. The life of the people with special needs is not fun and their activities are greatly limited.

I can’t get this song out of my head, not gonna lie. It just reminds me of going to friends’ rock shows and enjoying the atmosphere. Not the best rock song I’ve ever heard, but to be honest, I think there would be the same negative reception if *any* band got sent by a country with a song of the same genre and vocal style. And there are plenty of bands that do this. I’ve heard waaaaaaay worse at live rock shows I’ve gone to. At least this song’s lyrics have a point and tell a story I’ve never heard… Read more »

I…am…not…feeling …good…at…all…at…what…I…just…heard. Just when I thought they got the shit right last year, they went and fucked it all up over the weekend. When the average Joe and Jane turns on the TV set May 19, they are going to expect, from each and every entry, juuuust an ounce of professionalism in the song they have chosen and the performance they put on. I just saw the videoclip for “Aina Mun Pitää”, and I’m afraid I must say I saw a lot more professionalism from the White Stripes’ very short song “Fell In Love With A Girl”.

Eurovision is NOT pop contest, dear gays. I know, you like only pop by female singers, but it is only one part of music. 96% of Europeans are straight and they love rock, hip hop, techno, country, metal, r&b, folk, punk, d’n’b and they want to find their favourite styles. Nobody will watch it, if there will be only your gay style. This is not Cher-karaoke contest, it is European contest with the whole diversity of music on this place. Everyone wants men, women, duos and bands with every styles. Remember, that you are still minority in mass of 200… Read more »

There is 60 songs, all kinds, many flavours and sounds and performances..this is just one, and its different and passionate. I think many will like it. To say this cant be in there is really stupid. There is no rules that handicaps cant perform… They can and they are gonna haha
Try and live with that? maybe try and be more accepting for those who criticize..

well… this is is just piece of shit. Lordi weren’t so attractive looking, and hard rock wasn’t eurovision style song, right? but they had a great song with a melody, and a wonderful performence, and I personally voted for then 10 times. BUT this song has nothing – no melody, no performence, and one hell of a horrible gimmic.

“We all know WHY they won it’s just a bit of an elephant in the room situation”
To a prejudiced mind, yes. The other reason could be that they have a message Europe desperately needs to hear in a style Europe can’t ignore.
So music can strive towards making the world a better place as long as the singer is attractive, the sounds are easy and the lyrics are abstract enough? Think further.

Shame on you, guys….. 1) Punk isn’t supposed to sound pretty and look pretty, it is about having a voice and bringing out issues that make you mad. Yeah, PKN is nothing like the average ESC-contestant, but that there’s room for all kinds of genres, right? Check out the lyrics with the context, they’re rad! These people have something important to say! Stop comparing their song to pop, it’s like comparing a tarantula to a desk. If you don’t like punk, so be it. That’s totally OK. But don’t say it’s not music. Aina Mun Pitaa has more authenticity and… Read more »

Am I the only person here who thinks that their participation in the contest is not all about proving that people with Down Syndrome or any kinds of mental illnesses can win or participate in the contest? I mean, it’s probably given already and maybe not their only goal but it seems to me that they just want to share their own music to Europe and be recognized as one of Finland’s punk rock performers. Just like any bands who are all physically and mentally healthy. It makes me think that there is no need to continually separate them as… Read more »
