From Sweden’s ABBA to Finland’s Lordi to Norway’s Alexander Rybak, the Scandinavians know what it takes to win Eurovision. This year they’re fielding an impressive roster of candidates. Denmark offers mainstream pop, Iceland throws down euro-dance, Norway offers a cheesy ballad, Finland has gone native with a traditional folk melody and Sweden has dreamed up a mainstream, folksy tune. The act that proves itself the best in Scandinavia may well be the best at Eurovision 2010. What do y’all think? Who is the best and who will do the best?

As of May 16 at midnight, you guys had cast 387 votes. The current standings are:

1. Sweden’s Anna Bergendahl with “This Is My Life” (44%, 172 votes)

2. Finland’s Kuunkuiskaajat with “Työlki ellää” (17%, 66 votes)

3. Denmark’s Chanée & Tomas N’evergreen with “In A Moment Like This” (17%, 64 votes)

4. Norway’s Didrik Solli-Tangen with “My Heart Is Yours” (14%, 54 votes)

5. Iceland’s Hera Björk with “Je Ne Sais Quoi” (8%, 31 votes)

Wiwi recently stumbled across a few Eurovision remixes and can’t stop dancing! (And what a relief—there are TOO many ballads this year). To share the love, Wiwi will upload his favorite dance versions of this year’s Eurovision tracks every few days. First up is Finland. Looks like accordions will soon be a staple in Helsinki discotheques! Check out the original version of Työlki ellää followed by the club mix. And don’t forget your glow sticks. xoxo, Wiwi

Finland’s hottest folk duo Kuunkuiskaajat (that means Moonwhisperers in Finnish) has released a music video previewing their 2010 Eurovision entry. Wiwi loves that these ladies manage to look beautiful while feeding horses and shoveling dirt. And they can sing, too!

Mitä minä laulan kun olen iloinen Mitä laitan leijailemaan päälle sävelten Paljon päivänpaistetta ja poutapilviä Torikauppiaille nauravia silmiä

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun olen onneton Mitä silloin sävelteni kannettava on Sadetta ja myrskysäätä ylle kaupungin Reikähousupelimannille pennin lantin

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun rakastunut oon Kantaako mun rakkauteni laulun kuutamoon Samettia, silkkiä ja kultalankaa vaan Siitä minun kullalleni paita ommellaan

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun ittekseni meen Mietin miksi aina uutta laulua mä teen Kaksi kummaa lintua jo taivaanrannan taa Lentää silloin kun on aika laulu lopettaa

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

English Translation

Working Is A Way To Make A Living

What do I sing when I’m happy What do I put on top of floating notes Lots of sunshine and white clouds Laughing eyes for market traders

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

What do I sing when I am unhappy What do my notes have to bear Rain and stormy weather over the city I´ll give a penny for the pelimanni with tattered trousers

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

What do I sing when I’m in love Shall my love carry the song to the Moon Just velvet, silk and golden thread for my darling’s shirt

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

What do I sing when I’m alone I wonder why do I keep writing new songs Two strange birds on the horizon Flying when it’s time to stop singing

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading

I sing daylight, shine, full Moon, travel safely Working is a way to make a living, but you get rich by trading
